Something Funny

@Leo Gura will it also absorb nutrients from food?

You could add chickpeas and tahini there. Both are pretty healthy. I am not sure about 1000 but that will be quite a few bonus calories. @Leo Gura btw, do you think fasting one day per week can help your body get rid of toxins that you acquire during the week? Maybe not heavy metals but other stuff?

Nestle is a shitty company in general, so I am not surprised to be honest.

@Leo Gura okay, thank you.

@Leo Gura I've noticed that your Tate video just dropped. Is it worth listening to it? I mean, will I get something valuable in terms of personal development / life advise from it? I was never a fun of Tate and don't need someone telling me why following his teachings is a bad idea. And I am tired of all this drama to be honest.

Idk, I found the below one yesterday and I like it. Other than that I am open for suggestions. To be honest, I mostly just like the sound and also the picture My intention is developing mental strength, spiritual groundedness, and focus (both in the moment and on my purpose in general)

@StarStruck did you watch the video? Which part of it is staged or untruthful in your opinion?

Lol, it's so funny. The magician guy is like a Saruman from wish, haha

@Danioover9000 Just use this webiste to download the youtube video.

I want to be able to say that I am going to do a thing and just do it, with no excuses or doubts. How do I get to that level where I can say to myself: - okay, I am not going to eat crap ever again - I am going to meditate every day for a year - I am going to spend 16 hours every weekend to learn programming And just do it? I've tried hundreds of times already. I've tried writing things down in my journal. I've tried creating goals. I've tried telling someone about it. I've tried sticky notes... But I always quit, fail, get side tracked, lose focus, give up, etc. I want to be able to trust myself and my words. How do I change it?

@JonasVE12 I do have fantasies and feelings. And I can get really motivated by them and start working on something. The issue is that after a day, 2 days, a week, a month I start forgetting them, loosing focus, and quit.

@Abhishaik Yes, please go against your mom. You are an adult, you are a man, this is 21st century. Suicide is a pure manipulation on her part. It's very dirty play and you shouldn't encourage this kind of behaviour by complying with it. Also, I highly doubts that someone with such a huge ego like your mom will actually kill themselves. But there will be a lot of drama, that's for sure...

I am glad that you are okay now. This is some good morning news.

Yeah, no shit, I probably have some of those But what does it matter anyway. What I need to do stays the same: do personal development, do spiritual work, meditate, and try again and again Yeah, that too

@Leo Gura okay, I get it. Also, thank you a lot Leo. I am really grateful for you spending your time babysitting all of us. I am crying in a positive way right now

It's like I've "decided" so many times already and failed that I am kind of losing faith in myself. But yeah, I understand that there's no other way. But what should I do then if I already work full time? Even 16 hours doesn't sound that much if we are talking about per week. You yourself said that you need to work extra hard for a certain period to feto out of a wage slavery? Edit: Regarding trying one thing at a time. How do I know when I can move on to another thing? Should I wait 30 days, 90 days (assuming I can stick to my commitment for this period).

@Eternal Unity thank you

@KH2 amen @Tyler Robinson please stay strong, you can get through this.

I've just watched the movie "Green Mile" for the first time, and I am not going to lie, I got really inspired by it, and especially by John Coffey of course. So my question is, how do you become more selfless. And I don't mean just feeling selfless, I mean acting more selflessly in the world. Or what actions do you need to take to become a more selfless person. For example, I've started learning web development this year. But I do it mainly for selfish reasons. I want to earn more money, I want to have more freedom, independence, ability to build the kind of life I want to build. But is this the best way for me to serve in this world? Am I just being lazy and cowardly and am taking a lame, uncreative, passive path forward in life? Sure I could say that I am in the phase of developing myself, and need to focus on that first, and I can be selfless and contribute to the world afterwards. But is it actually true or am I just bullshitting myself? You could also say that I can just go and become a volunteer somewhere. But once again, is this the best way for me to serve the world? Doing some manual grunt work?

@RedLine yeah, that's not really an option

Thank you. I think this is a really good point which I haven't considered at all.

@Leo Gura @Greatnestwithin it's crazy how our minds can basically ruin our life instead of helping it. And what's even scarier is that you won't even be aware that something is wrong with you and will try to find solutions elsewhere / blame someone else, unless you are already relatively conscious.

You are right, for me it's probably a mix of both guilt and love right now. This is a bit off topic but this idea have been bugging me for a while now. It's probably different in the US, but in Poland costs of living are not that big. So you technically could invest a few thousand dollars and possibly change someone's life completely. Rent them a room. Help them to get their shit together. Maybe hire a therapist. Help them to find a basic minimum wage job. And possibly, you will totally transform their life over a course of a few months. How many of them would waste such an opportunity away? Sure you would have to screen out some extreme cases like drug addicts and criminals. But in general it sounds pretty doable. You could even turn this into a full fledged charity and then it would be even cheaper with economies of scale. Also, I've checked and there are only about 900-1000 homeless people in my city of about 700000, which is actually not that many. Literally, one millionaire could finance the whole thing and you would have a whole city without homelessness. Isn't that crazy? I see, thank you.

Thank you for your comments guys. They are really helpful. Yeah, but I don't think it's exactly my passion. It's just that it logically seems like the best option since I don't have any better ideas right now. How do you learn to love suffering? Flow not push. Sounds easier said than done, but I get what you are talking about. How do you live in a flow? Are there any actions that help you get on track with it. Like let's say you wake up and want to live that day in a flow, what do you do? Thank you that's great life advise.

@Tyler Robinson did they admit you there against your will. Are you now required to stay there or can you leave if you want?
