@Leo Gura I've been following this deeply for a week now, talking to experts, contemplating, doing my best to be non-fearful, but what are your thoughts on moving off grid out of USA, as one measure of individual protection based on just all this data?

My spiritual journey over the past 8 years, in a nutshell: Went deep as fuck, messed myself up with weed, started focusing on more grounding aspects of life like business, relationships, etc. And now I'm at a point where I feel very grounded, in a strong training program with life, and I'm inclined to go deeper into spirituality, to really take this on seriously again. I got the Kriya yoga book recommended by Leo, and I'm pursuing philosophy as a career very proactively. So what got me asking this question, is I just spent 10 minutes really curiously asking, and writing every possible question I'm curious about "reality" and "consciousness" and suddenly I can feel myself pretty disoriented, scared, clueless, not-grounded. If I really do go back into this deeper, how do you ground yourself with all this un-groundedness? I know my life is already pretty grounded in this ungroundedness (to some degree) because I've already pursued spirituality in all kinds of ways and depths over the years. Right now my level of ungroundedness is much higher than most people in life, but very low in terms of what's possible. But as I go deeper, how do I find a grounding point? How is it even possible to stay grounded when your reality is getting flipped inside out so much? Sorry if this doesn't make much sense, I'm trying to make sense of what I'm saying myself.

@Moksha So much wisdom and good advice here, thanks! That's comforting to know that the mind will adjust to this. I listen to Alan Watts a lot, and that helps keep me grounded, but I'll check this book out. Damn thats a beautiful, profound poem. Just that in my current state of mind, imagining myself becoming that ocean seems so scary and disorienting haha but just knowing that my mind will adjust with time is all I need to be honest. I guess I was partly scared that I'll be sorta crazy and lose it, until I die, but now as I'm even typing this I'm realizing that's just a fear.

I think this will be a long post, but I hope this will encourage people, help people, and give people aha moments. Disclaimer 1: I haven't taken the life purpose course. I plan to take the course to refine my life purpose. Which brings me to the second disclaimer Disclaimer 2: I don't think I've 100% arrived in finding my life purpose, but at the least I have made, not just a step in the right direction over the past 4+ days, but a quantum leap. I've determined the right ballpark of what my life purpose is. Now it just needs refining as I go deeper into the distinctions. I know I'll make more mistakes in finding it. And to be honest, I'm not 100% sure this is my life purpose, but there's a very deep alignment now with actually finding a reason to live and my life purpose. Since I was 7 years old, I remember envisioning myself road tripping in an RV, playing rock music all around USA. I hit 18 years old, and music has still been the number 1 life purpose for me. Then I hit age 26. I discover the Handpan online. I immediately buy it without hesitation, even though it was 400 dollars. Usually I would think twice, but I knew this was a big step in the right direction. I enjoy it the first week, love it, it feels spiritual and magical, then I set it aside. Many months pass, and it hits me again that Handpan really is the most meaningful thing in my life. So I decide to make a habit out of it. I commit to playing the Handpan every day. It's been almost 1 year exactly, and I've been playing Handpan almost every single day. I've gotten decent at it. I've developed a deep love for it. I see a life of playing Handpan in a cabin, around the world, etc. till the day I die. I know this now. But something wasn't clicking. I went to central park one day with a friend to play Handpan for people, it was fun, but I didn't feel that deep passion that I do just playing Handpan in solitude. I love performing music, but something about performing for a crowd didn't hit me nearly as close as when I played Handpan in nature or beautiful scenery. So till this day, since 7 years old, something was always off about music. Mainly, I know making songs for other people wouldn't give me the deepest fulfillment I'm looking for. Now I'll connect that dot to the main dot, my life purpose in a minute. Because music did open doors for my life purpose, but music wasn't my life purpose per se. Here's where it gets emotional for me. I've been UNCONSCIOUSLY living my life purpose over the decades. I'll stop beating around the bush now, and tell you my life purpose. Don't laugh lol .. I mean you can laugh, but this statement has deep significance for me, and its not some fantasy. I'll explain as I expand my thought. "I want to magically explore tons of magical worlds and magical realities in existence" There's a lot packed into this statement, which I'll expand on. Firstly, I'll give examples to illustrate what I'm saying. - Walking along those black beaches in Iceland, alone, in solitude, in a cold breeze, something I call "spiritual solitude in beautiful scenery" - living in a cabin, in this spiritual solitude, playing Handpan, but not necessarily the best melodies. Great melodies are a nice bi-product, but its the exploration of the Handpan, in its infinite depth, that's the joy in itself. - taking on a masterful mentorship with a tai chi master in east asia - exploring different holotropic states with shamanic breathing, which is like exploring different worlds in itself - the world of partying and vibing with people. I've been to rock concerts, music festivals. There's this togetherness, connectedness that you experience there. In my view this is a world in itself that I want to explore deeper So when I say "world" I don't mean just physical environments. I don't mean fantasy. Although physical worlds, and fantasy are part of it. You can replace "worlds" with "states of consciousness", "realities", etc. So if I break down this Life Purpose statement: "I want to magically explore tons of magical worlds and magical realities in existence" I want to explore, for the sake of exploring. That's the biggest joy in itself. That's why I'm alive (or at least I feel that). This one freakin statement, makes me want to be alive. I've been nihilistic for so long. I always wondered, what's the point of creating a beautiful melody, or building something beautiful if it's all going to go away. But I realized its not about the creation that I create, it's about putting my energy on the exploration itself, the exploring of these worlds is the joy in itself, this exploration makes me want to live. This exploration feels deeply meaningful. One thing is when I submit myself to just one particular aspect of reality, I feel limited. I didn't realize I felt limited until I realized my life purpose. I don't just want to play music all my life. I want to go to Iceland, New Zealand, the best music festivals, explore the various states of consciousness with shamanic breathing, the world of Handpan, the world of poetry, etc. How I execute my life purpose, I see with short films, a personal brand, artificial intelligence and virtual reality. I don't just want to create fiction movies. I want to explore these worlds, and then create a lens through which other people can explore these worlds experientially. So if we take Harry Potter for example, I love that movie, and that world, but I don't want to create a made up story. But if I explore all these magical worlds, and something like a Harry Potter story comes up in my own personal experience, than I'll convey that world through short films. I guess my point is, it's a specific kind of mini-movies. It's "real life" mini movies. Mini movies of the different worlds I personally experience. I want a compilation of these mini movies, so that people see what a human being is capable of, what 1 life holds of different possibilities people can explore, to infuse people with spirit and emotion and so that they get out their house and explore the various worlds within reality. I want to show human potential in a way where if I explore all these worlds, people get inspire that "oh this one person can experience all these worlds, I'll do the same." And again, back to the part where it gets emotional for me: I took a break from strategizing, went to the park in Austin Texas here. I was just looking out into the distance and realized I've been unconsciously living my life purpose this whole time, but again, unconsciously. I mean half-hazardly, half heartedly, not deliberately, not knowingly, not strategically, not consistently, in a sort of animalistic asleep way. Not connecting the dots. And when I realized that me walking alone at night in Austria, and experiencing something unique, was a part of my life purpose, I couldn't stop tearing up. Because I kept telling myself this whole time, I just have been wasting money on traveling, and that "traveling is a distraction" and all that. So I realized, it wasn't a cost. It was a deep investment in myself. These When I was with my ex-girlfriend in a park and we were just laughing and it was a magical moment for me, I didn't connect that to my life purpose. When I was in Austria, and walking alone at night in the snow, and all I heard was the sound of the snow steps, and that triggered this feeling in me I never experienced, that was me living my life purpose. I just didn't connect it. When I was playing Handpan at the beach at night, I thought it was so I can make melodies for people, but really its me living my life purpose, just exploring that world for its own sake. I'd walk Princeton University at night, just taking it all in, inspired by Harry Potter, and I walked the whole university almost 200+ times. I never even attended the university as a student lol. But that's me living my life purpose. And for fun, I'd post pictures of it on Instagram, to convey a sort of "Princeton world" that I think 99.9% of people were not seeing, and I didn't realize that's part of my life purpose. But now that I know what my life purpose really is, I can design a very specific daily and weekly routine, to have habits that align with this exploring of reality. Instead of just walking alone at night in Austria, I can journal that world on paper, and later see how I can make a mini movie out of that. Anyways, to sort of wrap things up, the main takeaways: 1) Finding your life purpose IS WORTH IT. Till this day, because I haven't actually found my life purpose, I thought it's just some cool project I'll do in life. Now that I feel that alignment between a) my life purpose and b) an actual reason for being alive with my life purpose statement, I completely change how I see life purpose. I actually believe now that life can have a purpose, and that life can actually be worth living. (I've been nihilistic. I was never suicidal. I always enjoyed life, but for a long time life just felt purposeless and meaningless. To some degree it still does, but this has been a big step towards reducing this nihilism.) 2) If you right now think you have something, but it's not feeling exactly like your life purpose, try a) seeing what about that thing you love, and what do you not love. It might be that the thing you love is part of a bigger picture context that you're not seeing right now. 3) Focus less on the creation, and what you want the world to have (at least at the start). Focus on why you're here on this planet, on a spiritual level, what is your reason for being alive, what means something to you on a spiritual level. Life purpose = why are you actually alive, here. What do you actually feel would be worth doing in this life? What is it that is actually worth doing that will make life worth living? 4) life purpose is spiritual at the heart, and your career is an extension of this spirituality 5) lessen the corruption of money, approval, aesthetic, etc. on your mind. 6) a life purpose is not about a conventional, typical, or even a defined career path. It can incorporate those elements, but again, life purpose is why you're alive on the deepest spiritual level you can connect with. 7) Even though I found my life purpose, I realize there's just only degrees of finding your life purpose. In a sense I found it before, but in a lot more of an asleep state. Now I'm a lot more awake. But I anticipate that as I keep going down this journey, and become more awake, things will be a lot more clear and I'll look back at this day and even realize I still didn't completely have it. I know this past week is a big turning point in my life. Everything's going to be a lot different from here though. I wish you all luck on this path, and hope you have a meaningful life, a life worth living, and that you don't just go with the flow of life.

Guys take a look at this: It's pretty damn smart. I don't think it just scraps the internet @Leo Gura It has a pretty strong "understanding" function. Also is this self-referential in the conversations here?

@Leo Gura I have a few questions: 1) Can this be accessed without psychedelics? 2) I'm not sure I recall this right, but you said in attempting to access this you almost killed yourself. Correct me if I'm wrong. So if you teach this to people would there be a high likelihood this can drastically harm someone? 3) Can this be embodied over the longterm? and how do you think that could impact life? 4) if "human spirituality is a joke" compared to this, does that invalidate a lot of what you taught in the past?

@Leo Gura Wow. I can see this undermining a lot of the paradigms I held related to non-duality, it "all being just mind", etc. ... I think I really just don't know wtf is happening lol gah damn

@Leo Gura to understand this better: isn't planet earth just another mental construction of our mind? Aren't there no distinctions between what's inside and what is outside planet earth?

@Leo Gura Appreciate the replies. I guess we'll see what's in store (free and paid lol) for the future

I've experienced some crazy things during my trips relative to my average life, but I wouldn't even say they're anything close to profound awakenings of any kind. But you're right, I'm just not ready at the moment to go that deep with psychedelics.

@Leo Gura Sorry for the spam questions, but Ive been very curiously wondering this for many days now, before your alien intelligence awakening, why you of all people? you mentioned you're the only one on the planet conscious of god .. and now this? You used to not take care of yourself at all, you're mostly involved in human life, pretty ordinary in many ways, how did you end up being the 1 in 7+ billion people conscious of god, and beyond?

@Leo Gura You mentioned, you would try communicating this alien language. But what's the significance of the alien language? Why would we want to learn this or hear it? What could alien-intelligence do for the future teachings of actualized.org?

@Leo Gura Amazing Leo! I'm constantly amazed by what's possible within spirituality. I read all these posts, and it seems like you don't know how this will play out as this is so new to you. But given this new awakening to an alien hyper intelligence, and your previous plans for your future ... how do you see the next 5, 10 years playing out in your life? will you still continue actualized.org? will you change the activities that you do? wondering what this means for your daily human life, and your inner experience changes.

Hey Leo - I tried entering my information 3 times, but when I click the submit button, nothing happens. Personally, I don't want to miss out on these courses or other big events and stuff. Also I'm concerned that others might miss the boat with the break in this funnel.

So I was going through Leo's life purpose course, and I recall Leo saying that the 10000 hours of deliberate practice, applies to your life purpose, not towards 1 specific skill. So if say I want to put out music videos, the skills would involve writing lyrics, cinematography, singing, guitar, etc. and I believe Leo said it's 10k for all that combined. It will take 5 to 10 years to actualize your life purpose (10k hours). Now I have a full time job. And I realized to break out of wage slavery, I just need to master 1 skill. In my case, if I just master the Handpan instrument, I can monetize that 1 skill in 10 different ways. So for now, with my limited time, I am just focusing on this 1 skill so I can get to mastery quicker. So if its say 10k hours for 7 skills, that's approximately 1500 hours per skill. Now if I allocate 3000 hours to master Handpan, be in the top 10 in the world, with obviously a lot of innovation, can I realistically assume that in 3000 hours I can start making 10k profit per month or something and achieve mastery?

I am keeping it really simple: 3000 hours of deliberate practice with an instrument called the Handpan = Mastery 2000 hours = very great (enough to monetize to 3k to 10k per month) 2k hours = around 2 years of daily consistent practice My plan is to master this instrument with courses, doing the exercises (best courses in the world) and deliberately practicing making innovative compositions. Once I truly master this instrument, I have an asset, my Handpan playing skillset. I can monetize this asset with say performances, patreon, reaching out to put my music in movies, collaborating with other artists and building a big social media presence, music NFTS, host music festivals with this Handpan kind of vibe, etc. I'm open to any thoughts on this plan, good or bad. Any feedback, input, ideas, suggestions, whatever. I currently have a full-time job. If I didn't I'd have more time to add on more key skills. But I realize, honestly its as simple as mastering just this 1 skill to make a good living. So what do you think?

@Realms of Wonder Hey, great insights. You got me thinking more. On a more meta level, your post made me surrender a bit my desire for quicker results, and realize that maybe this entire post I made was based on wanting quicker results, and I just need more patience. I guess you're right. The social media presence, brand building and stuff, is additional skills, and also not some easy stuff. It will require mastery. All the monetization methods seem viable from my research. But damn the one thing thats a bit of a downer is how many hours of mastery. If you're saying you put in a decade of violin, and 2k hours of music production, and now things are just starting to click, what does that say about the 10k hour rule? And from another perspective, say I drop the idea of mastery for a second, and just look at how long itll take to monetize my passion: if I am brand new to Handpan, is it realistically possible to assume I can get to 3k profit per month with 2 years of putting in 30 hours per week into this? I know that sounds vague and broad, but I still think this question is worth thinking about for me.

@Leo Gura Even though I successfully signed up with safari, tried again just now on google chrome with new info completely, and still not working. I guess if others report this too, might be worth looking into. Otherwise, maybe my case is just an outlier.

@Leo Gura So the 3x that wasn't working was on google chrome. I just tried on Safari, and now it works. Signed up successfully. If you're seeing people sign up, that still could mean many people are not able to, like in my experience. Maybe they're just not being vocal about it.

I've been meditating for 8 years now About 4 years ago, I started getting these rushes of spiritual energy. I don't know exactly what this is. I know what physical energy surges feel like, but this is different. Its very similar or the exact same as when I get this spiritual energy surge thing on LSD when I was in nature with my friend at night. Over the years I just let it go telling myself its phenomena, a distraction. But today, this spiritual energy surge happened literally 100+ times over the past 3 hours. One of these surges literally was so much it took over my entire body kinda like an electric shock. Before where I thought it was a distraction, now Im wondering wtf is this shit??? Why is it happening so much today? Is there some kind of profoundness to this? Is it still a distraction? Is it an indication of something to investigate? Any insight on this would be appreciated. I am a bit sick today. When I went to the beach at night alone to play Handpan, that's when this started. But it's not stopping even after I reached home. Don't know if its related to the heightened sense of awareness from solo nature at night or from being sick. It involves shifts in perspective (not like the normal kinds), but still for the most part feels normal. Kinda just some cool phenomena to be honest, Im not freaking out. A little curious though. I do notice my awareness becomes heightened, senses too.

@Kksd74628 Im fine now, it stopped. Ive mostly been accepting of it though. And I've heard of kundalini energy, but don't know much about it. Its just all sort of weird to me though

Okay so I watched @Leo Gura's latest post on his blog. I'll straight up say I'm far from an expert on any of this stuff, so anything I say is just to clarify my (also our) understanding. So I've been observing the crypto and NFT space almost daily now for over a year. I mostly see a bunch of gamblers, degens, looking to make quick money, highly overpriced NFT art, unoriginal art projects, etc. But I also see (a few) people who have some amazing possibilities of NFTs as well. 1) By using Bitcoin Cash blockchain, you can put your music on the blockchain, without selling it or financial incentive, but to simply protect your music, as a copyright 2) Naval Ravikant talking about how communities will be able to, in some years, vote on different plot stories for a book or a movie. So like instead of JK Rowling, just one creative writing a book, we have a community of creatives contributing to the creation of a story. Not in a completely decentralized way, obviously some centralization with the original creator of the story, but just taking on the ideas of a community of creatives for more opportunities injected into the story, more meaning with a community contribution, and non-financially driven votes as well. (All if done right) 3) NFTs providing proof of ownership in a digital world, solving a problem from web 2.0 4) Certain cryptocurrencies solving problems like tracking criminals down that otherwise wasn't possible (Spoken in-depth by a law enforcement authority in the crypto space) Now from my understanding, on a high level, 98% of crypto and NFTs right now are just shit, and garbage driven by this goldrush type mania. However, over a 10 year period, I can see amazing possible use cases of NFTs and crypto, and potentially penatrating all industries if gone about right. Am I missing something here? I partly am trying to clarify my understanding because I am diving deep into music and over time I want to get creative with my combining elements of music, art, video with virtual reality, NFTs, metaverse, etc. Would it be a mistake to combine these? I am using virtual reality right now, and I see positives and negatives, same with metaverse, same with NFTs and crypto. I see my life purpose as very little financial motive, and mostly just being a massive contributor in the world, and I still see the benefits of NFTs and metaverse in this pursuit. I guess I'm mainly saying that none of these fields are a complete no right?

@Leo Gura yeah tbh I'm not able to sift the gold from the shit that well. I won't completely reject it, but you're right, even giving attention to this is taking away from the core of the art creation. One strategy would be to not look at this for the next 5 to 10 years as I focus on the art, and later on when the real good use cases are available, I can consider pulling elements then. We'll see in 5 to 10 years I guess

Hey guys, I don't think I've posted in maybe a year, but I could really use some help. I was really in love with this girl. She was really in love with me. We dated for 6 months, known each other a little longer. I saw our relationship as this beautiful, magical journey, as corny as that sounds. It was the most meaningful thing in my life. All I did was love her, care for her, protect her. We had amazing adventures and everything. I reached a point where I was surprised that judgement was none or minimal at max. Everyone judges other humans, themselves, etc. quite a lot. But with her, I just couldn't. I didn't see any flaws in her. **Love** was a core component. Now I'm not claiming this was some pure magical fantasy and I'm some deeply spiritual person or anything like that. I know I'm not. But that is really the best way I can describe our relationship. Everything else in my life was hollow. But our relationship was a source of *waking up* sorta for me. I was shown, after many years of hollow working for money, chasing girls, etc. that life can really be beautiful, passionate and magical. That you can reach happiness. We hit a peak in our relationship, and it all went south in just 1 moment. We made 1 small mistake that led to a downward spiral. For protective reasons, I don't want to get into that. Everything was going good. I wrote her a poem, gave it to her. We were outside, playing in the leaves, in the sun. Suddenly, 6 hours later, it turns into one of the hardest days of my life. Fortunately, everything is fine now. We're healthy, fine, everything is fine from a survival stand-point. But now our relationship ended. She is muslim and her parents are very religious. I am not religious, but I used to be Hindu. That day, when they found out she has a boyfriend, they engrained in her that I'm some extremist religious person (im not religious at all), hating on her religion. (I understand their pain. They just had to see me in that way as a survival mechanism to separate me from her). My ex, now, didn't take that to heart. But she really cares about her parents approval. She broke their trust that day more than she ever did in her life. And out of all this fear, and acceptance-seeking, and her wanting to go deeper into her religion, she broke up with me. Now it feels like the end of a journey. I'm partly, hurting a lot emotionally because of the breakup, and losing something and someone so meaningful to me. I'm also excited, it's a new year, and I've been self-actualizing a lot lately. Really getting back into life purpose, solidifying my habits even more, etc. But after the breakup, I asked her: "What was all this for?" "What was the point of all this?" And I genuinely got curious of why we're here on this planet. Like seriously, what is the point of good memories, good emotions, good food, contributing to humanity, magical moments, actualizing one's life even ..... if it's all going to go away one day? Like what is the point of all that? I'm still pursuing all this, but for what? Why? What is the point of anything at all? And it's not just, what is the point after it's gone, but also, what is the point in the moment. Yeah it all is nice, but why have nice things? I've watched most of Leo's videos, had a variety of spiritual experiences, read tons of books, actualized myself in many ways. I, of course, know how really little I truly did though. But I still don't get it. Also I know I could hear an answer from you guys saying something about god, or enlightenment, or waking up, or something like that. I don't deny any of that. I am in pursuit of that experientially. But anything you or Leo would say is just more ideas or ideology that I could hold on to. And to be honest, I'm not even so keen on "waking up" right now. It scares me. I'm going about this gradually, through yoga, until I am more receptive to spirituality in that way. And first meeting my basic needs. I am still open-minded to what you have to say, even if it is spiritual of course. But I guess really I want to know, on my current level, what the heck is the point of all this? What's the point of pursuing my deepest passion in life purpose if I know it's not going to matter one day? Am I just doing it for feel good pleasurable emotions? Even if it does help humanity, they're going to die one day. Even if I do help humanity, in the bigger span of things it doesn't do much anyways. Things not only feel pointless right now, but I've felt life has been pointless for a long time now. Despite pursuing self-actualization holistically, being curious, having magical moments, and all that, the underlying "What is the point though?" has lingered throughout my life, in all that I pursue. Really I guess, the essence of this post is: What is the point of life? What is the meaning of life?; It sounds like a cliche question. I've asked this before, with varying degrees of curiosity. But after this breakup, and after years of soul-less money chasing, I just want to pursue something deeply meaningful. I want to know that my actions, the life I live, means something at all. And of course I want to be passionate, and live a passionate life and be in tune with deep love for life, but I still don't know what the point of all that is. What is the point of passion and love even? Didn't know where to place this because this is relationship related, life purpose related, spiritual related, life related. And @Leo Gura if you have any insights, I would greatly appreciate that as well.

Hey guys, So just some background, I personally have OCD. And obsessive thoughts like that can become exhausting and take so much mental energy, and some become so habitual sometimes you forget what it's like to live without it. You may not have OCD, but I'm sure you have certain emotional struggles, like big fears surrounding those identities which you are most attached to or care about the most. I've been playing with 2 techniques over the past year: Sedona method and the do nothing technique. Now Sedona is highly unique from all the meditation techniques out there because it targets specific emotional problems, which is great for letting go of targeted emotional problems. Most other meditation techniques out there do spiritual purification and release emotions without targeting specific emotions. And even if it does target specific emotions, I don't think it can go as deep as what I'm about to explain. So yeah Sedona is great. But the problem with Sedona method, in my opinion is that it doesn't go deep enough. It involves a lot of "you" questioning, and you actively participating to do release. It's cognitive, uses mind to release mind. Now the "do nothing" technique goes very deep. It keeps going meta and meta, and for something like OCD that is amazing because you get under all that shit and keep going deeper and deeper underneath all those OCD type patterns, and overthinking, fear and all the other crap underlying that. But the do nothing technique is still just simply you doing nothing and seeing where that takes you, which can be anywhere. And for this specific purpose, I want to help you release deep and heavy emotional problems. So for this, I recommend trying this specific practice: The "do nothing" technique but directing it and not moving away from the specific emotional problem you want to release. Meditate on your emotional problem only, don't stray away from that until you go more and more meta doing the "do nothing" technique. I'm not sure if this is making sense. It is also subtle, what I'm explaining. But it works great. This technique is influenced by the sedona method because you are taking 1 specific emotional problem and going as meta as possible on that, unlike most meditation techniques. But this technique is also not a plain "do nothing" technique because you're not just being random here. Hopefully this makes sense. Try it out because this did absolute wonders for me. I spent 10 mins doing this on an emotional problem thats been bothering me for a while, and I had an instant release because I went very meta on it. (also disclaimer: I don't know if I entirely made this up. I personally haven't seen this technique being taught anywhere. I have seen very close examples like mindfulness meditation with labeling - but that doesn't go as meta on an emotional problem as what I'm saying) Try it out. I just want people to be happier. That was the goal of this post.
