We all need to survive. Start Simple, and baby-step your progress. Get a job first, learn another skill on the side, save some money, then start upgrading your lifestyle. Then you will have a foundation to create real success. That's my blueprint, anyway.

@Nahm Not a problem for me

Said the assumption

Are you expecting consciousness as the answer?

@DocWatts

@Max8 ? Come on, man! It can't be that bad. Although, it's one thing just imagining doing MMA, and it's another thing entirely actually doing MMA. Leo has a video on balance between theory and practice. Theory should take only like 10% max of your focus and time. You become better through practice only. But the theory is necessary and can be quite powerful. I'm currently learning Front-end Web Development, and I can verify that that rule is correct and applicable. All the theory is useless unless it's followed by a lot more practice.

Answer what? What is a question? Or, should I say: "What?" is a question.

How did you awaken?

@Max8 Bro, I'm not lying. The list is too long to write or remember. It's basically everything promised, and more. The levels of happiness and satisfaction that I experience right now alone instead of the hell I was living in are enough for me. Yet I have gotten a lot more, and more is yet to come.

Stop right there lol.

I experience both of these things all the time.

@Leo Gura ?

I don't know about you, but personal development has completely changed my life beyond anything I could ever imagine. Personal development is not particularly the best way to reach success. In fact, it's almost a distraction if you're not careful. Success requires hard-work, patience, persistence, vision, and a bunch of other stuff that have almost no relation to self-help. Nobody can give you these things. You already have them, you just gotta be wise enough to use them. With self-help, you develop your mindset and you gain wisdom and insight so that you can become better at executing the steps required to reach success. But you still have to actually take the steps nevertheless, and that requires putting in the work, and getting out of the comfort zone. Developing your mind alone will not create success. If you want to be successful, simply work hard, there are no shortcuts and there will never be. Nobody can become a master just by sitting on their ass, watching YouTube videos and reading books. There are levels to success, and you only get to the highest level after going through the little successes, and the many failures along the way. It's a baby-step process. The more work and effort you put, the more progress you make.

What is not in my direct experience?

These things don't seem like assumptions to me.

And my question is : Is there anything that is an assumption?

@StarStruck A really good and easy technique that you can implement to correct that is this: Make empty comments about anything in your visual field. For example, you see a big shiny billboard, ask if it's a new ad or if she tried the product or whatever. Make something up. Anything, preferably the first thing that comes to your mind. You could talk about trees and make an interesting conversation. You could say this tree looks beautiful, exotic, I love how trees look like in this time of year, etc. Keep doing that so that she gets comfortable talking with you at the same level (girls seem to fear risking to look stupid if they talk like that first, so be the bold one and make the first stupid move haha), and then after a while you make the latter steps of escalation. You just gotta be talkative at the beginning. And don't expect a response. If she doesn't reciprocate, that's fine, talk about the next thing you see. The key here is that being extroverted like that should seem like your modus operandi. If she still doesn't reciprocate, then she has low interest from the get go and you can't possibly fix that. In that case, tell her that this date is boring and just drop her. But it's unlikely, since she agreed to go out with you, which means at least medium level interest, which you work on raising with your personality and swagger and all that stuff.

Like what @Nahm said. Spending should be casual, like how you normally spend on yourself. It's not really important how much. But you must make sure she never feels scarcity around you.

@Leo Gura Do you think he's acting from good intentions? It's really hard for me to believe that someone seemingly informed and aware like him can be this stupid. I think he's a fraud and a Zen Devil.

The last one has a strong spiritual vibe to it, especially after the 4 minutes mark. It'd been my favorite during my first awakening.

I'm glad that I can't. I tend to forget past experiences easily because I live in the now. I seriously tried to recall the past, but I can't. I just can't really relate to my past self except from a meta point of view.

It's not like that. Not everything women say or do is a test. Sometimes they're actually just expressing themselves. Your job is to take whatever they say and turn it into a selling point for your value. But you shouldn't overdo that either, because that would make you look needy and like a tryhard. It's kind of tricky, but essentially your goal is to shift the conversation outside of the logical pragmatic frame. Once you succeed with that, you wouldn't need to sell anything anymore. The mood will be correct and the date will go smoothly. You will sense a different vibe from the girl, a more feminine and open vibe. Throughout the date, there will be plenty of opportunities for you to sell yourself. Use them as entry points to activate that vibe. Once it's activated, simply try to maintain it by not fucking up and returning to the logical mode. And by the way, you didn't fuck up by remaining silent. You will always have silent moments. That's okay. You don't have to comment on everything she says, there are many things that don't deserve a response, so just learn to be comfortable with silence. You only fuck up if you say something hyper logical, like trying to debunk her or something. Silence is simply like saying: okay, maybe, whatever.
