	I mean why do you want be motivated, like for what. Do you have a plan, an interest or a vision?

	What do you want to do?

	Helping people to get what they want or overcome emotional problems requires skill. Marketing to people in the right way also requires skill. These two fields of expertise don't have much in common. That is why you can have company A making T-shirts that sell for 5$ and company B making Supreme Ts that sell for 500$. For every self-help teacher selling overpriced courses there are hundreds of teachers who are not getting any clients. Does it mean that their teaching are less effective? Does it mean that the clothing from company B is better than from company A? Well, maybe but that doesn't justify the extreme differences in pricing. So what does? The marketing skill. I bet 80% of those people that buy overpriced courses from these teacher like Thai Lopez are even enjoying buying it. Even if their products are bad and they don't get any results from it. People enjoy it because the marketing tickled the right chemicals in their brain. Michel Fortin (from the video) seems to be really passionate about marketing and the creative challanges it brings. Now he regrets giving self-help teachers the tools that they then used to scam people. I hope he understands that it's not his teachings that are the fault here. It's the people who are desperate for quick and easy fixes. They get exactly what they want: A short chemical reaction because they clicked on that button. Everyone who is serious about learning these things will take the time to learn about it. Read a book or two and do his research. Also I think every dollar spend on any self-help course is still better spend than mostly anywhere else. Even if it's Thai Lopez, so many people just splurge on entertainment and vain stuff. There is also the element of "having invested in it". If you spend 10k on a course you better make sure to get everything you can out of it and do the exercises given to you. Whereas many might struggle doing even the first exercise on a free training program.

	If you want to master the craft of vegan baking (a wonderful field btw ) you master vegan baking. No need to learn the history or science behind it. Except if it helps to make you better at baking. This is what you will decide later on. For example, if you just started you want to tocus on learning the basics in bakery first. Simple techniques and correct form. Later you might become interested in the history of baking and redoing traditional bakery with only vegan ingredients. Basically, after a while when you have put in the needed hours for getting really good at your craft you will start to see more and more things which you can learn to help you get better at your craft. Ways in which you can improve. You will then have the knowledge to decide on your own which route to take. And even if you come to the conclusion it didn't add anything to your craft, you can learn from that and make a better decision next time. The question of what to choose to practice, is part of the process. Look at what you want to accomplish and what your vision is. Make a bet at what it is that you need to master for this and start there. You can always change and adjust the path later when you become more knowledgeable and experienced. But you need experience first. Happy baking

	Thanks for sharing your experience! I've also experienced the same thing. Confidence is both a turn on and also a lack of confidence is a deal breaker most of the time. That doesn't mean you have to be super confident in order to be attractive. But having enough confidence to stay authentic in the moment. Even being vulnerable. Admitting weaknesses. Also being grounded. And being good at dealing with tension. These all play into confidence.

	Here is a nice text from Nahm, it can help you to find a place of strength and peace from which you can take resourceful action ❤️ You have everything you need and the gaming market is booming right now. Especially mobile games. You don't need to educate yourself on crypto to make money from it. Everyone makes money there now. It's booming. If you see an increase in price like right now it means everyone is buying. Don't buy as well. When prices go down it means that most people sell. This is the time you buy in. There is nothing to understand here logically. You want to master your emotions. Learning about the technology without having an interest is pointless to me. There is no ROI. But if it eases your mind and you want to learn about it go ahead. I'm sure the technology can be implemented in many ways and definitely can be used for programming games.

	The question is. While we now live in a time where assertive man will always be more attractive than weak man. And woman who are passive will most likely be seen more attractive than aggresive ones. Is this a reflection of our social times and collective psychological wounds. Or is this something that is foundational to masculinity and femininity. And thus will always be true?

	Seems like you are thinking too much. Social interactions are not so much about the words you say. There are many different channels to it. -Intention (Why are we having this interaction) -Emotion (How we feel, what is your vibe) -Verbal (What is said) -Situation (What are you sending out) -Bodylanguage (How are you standing, gestures) Two more things. Let go of your needs for validation or control. If you are trying to find the right words it means you have a need to control the situation. Practice. If you have been isolated and didn't talk with others for a while it may take some time getting used to it.
 - 
	Well, you start by asking yourself why you care about it. Then you dismantle all limiting beliefs and fears that come up. Yes, Surrender. Self-Love. Awareness. Seems like you are on track. ❤️

	In the realm of confidence Fake Growth: Avoiding situations where you felt insecure, manifesting situations in your life where you feel confident. Changing the outside. Basically you think about your confidence a lot and juggle the external world around that. The thought of confidence surrounds your way of living, you plan things so that you don't feel insecure. Everything that can make you feel insecure has a high chance of triggering you emotionally. Real Growth means you transcend that problem in your life. You don't even think about being confident or insecure anymore. You don't adjust your life to your confidence. You live your life without worrying about how confident you feel. You don't need to be confident. This change is only internal. Counter intuitively, not caring about being confident will tend to make you feel confident.

	I read a few pages of his text. What stands out to me is, that he never seems to try to talk to women and resents them for not talking to him and giving him a chance. It's being a victim 101. He places all of his hope on being good looking and rich. I think a lot of it has to do with how he grew up, with well-off parents. Never really having to work in his life. And he seems to really love being pathetic and shameful.

Feel if there is any need coming up. Could be a Need for control. Need for love. Need for approval. Need for safety. - 
	If you are depressed right now it's going to be hard to start anything new and put in the serious work required. Elevate your Emotional State, everything will become much easier after that. If you change your inside, the world will follow. Listen to your heart. ❤️

	As every Life Purpose is dramatically different, someone working with you one on one can be gold. There are many great coaches out there, see if you can find them.
 - 
	Strange exercise. But at least it gets you to think about the larger scale more. Basically, think bigger. If you need more work and knowledge you can hire employees and teachers. Invest in coaching and marketing. Because even if you make great content you still need to find ways to increase your audience. Remember that you are already complete and have enough right now. ❤️

	1. You are anxious because you don't know what to say. You are blocking yourself with perfectionism. Perfectionism mostly comes from a need for control. Release your need for control. Refer to this post I did about integrating emotions. 2. You are not depressed because of the lockdown and isolation. You are depressed because you are telling yourself that and because you resist feeling certain emotions. If you feel and let go of these emotions your Emotional State will elevate easily. 3. Having silence in conversations is ok. Again, it is your need to control everything that takes you into your head and ultimately is preventing you from real Growth in this area. When you two are in silence, notice how your need for controlling the situation comes up. Accept it fully and ask yourself if you can let it go. Get out of your head, into your body. Feel whatever comes up, feel her.

	Great video! I'd argue to truly own is to Love not the other way around but then again, it's the same thing. Ownership to me implies that there is someone who is the "owner". While Love and Acceptance are more universal.

	See if the belief that you need to practice 10+ years to get "truly good" at the guitar is correct. The skills you learned while drumming and learning peotry already put you miles ahead of many guitar players. How good do you actually have to be for your life purpose? I mean sure, after 1 year you will not be playing like Hendrix! But depending on your ability to sell and how flexible you are you could already earn money. There is also nothing wrong with getting a side job while you work on your purpose.

	Ok, first let me preface this by saying that I only have rudimentary knowledge about what women want. They are still a mystery to me. And second important thing before we start is that while it's understandable to want to create your best offer for the opposite sex, it's fundamental to not fall into the imagination that you need women or that you are not complete as you already are. So while understanding the following principles and making yourself more attractive is nice and dandy. Don't expect to gain something out of it. There is nothing to get or to win, you already have everything right now. You don't need anything. From this understanding also comes the first thing women and men as well want. Authenticity. Don't bend over backwards to be liked by someone. Give them the gift of sharing your true self. As a man you already are what a straight woman wants. And while you enjoy feminine energy, women do enjoy masculine enegry. This energy is naturally inside of you. If you are not in touch with it or are repressing it, do some exercises to reconnect with it. Be present. This is the greatest gift you can give to a woman. Be with her. In the moment. Have you ever heard a woman ask you "What are you thinking right now?". It's their way of saying they don't know where you are in the moment. As men we are used to be in our head. Come into your body, feel it. Ground yourself. And then notice everything that is happening. Notice her, the way she looks, what she feels. Create space for you two. Women love to fill space, as men we create bubbles and a safe space where she can express herself freely. Confidence and tension. Step into tension and become used to it. This is where your masculine energy is found. Don't be afraid to lead and be decisive. Spark emotions and have fun. Women love to feel emotions, excited, happy, crying from laughter but also sad or angry. Everything goes. As long as it's not flatlining for too long. This brings me to another point about communication in general. Women and men's baseline communication is completely upside down. Women communicate to express emotions. While men communicate to express information. You can leave your problem solving thinking at home when meeting women. Instead, when she talks about her problems just listen and relate with her. Be in your body, not in your head. You are already complete. ❤️

	How do you feel during your day? How do you feel when you are on the internet? Maybe you have created a story that goes like this "My name is Gabith and I'm addicted to the internet, nothing else really interestes me. Without being on the internet I can not live" You know, like drug addicts think they are just that: Addicts. Because they had a troubled childhood, or because of their friends, or the environment. You know, they just are addicts. It must be so, of course. It's not what they want but that is just the card they have been dealt in life. And it will be like that for a while, maybe forever. They could get clean, change their lifes but it's hard you know? So they don't even try. What I mean is this. Part of changing your habits and addictions is letting go of the story surrounding them. Then you can create a new narrative for your life. With meditation and yoga and vegan lifestyle or whatever you want. If you notice any resistance to that new story or if you feel like it's too hard and you can't do it. Or you're maybe afraid of change or if it feels like the new challanges will be overwhelming. Release and integrate these emotions.

	Here are my favourites: Oatmeal in a bowl, put cooking water over it. Cut some banana, deets, apple whatever and put it in the bowl as well. Sprinkle cinnamon over and add dark chocolate on top. The melting chocolate is something out of this world. Same as 1. but without oatmeal and water. Just fruit salad basically. Maybe add strawberry, blueberry whatever. Bread with either peanut butter, hazelnut butter, almond butter, avocado, tomato sunflower spread, or chocolate.

	Come on, you are way overthinking this. I don't know where you are from but I've never felt that pressure to marry. Sounds like you are living somewhere very religious, country side maybe. Job wise you will not get extra points for being married. Maybe some respect from other married coworkers, maybe more leeway in putting in vacation time. For dating sure it matters. But it will depend highly on the woman. Some will think you are too old, some too young and for some you are exactly right. You can't control your age anyways so why bother? Instead, focus on what you have direct control over. Your insecurities around your age for example, if you have any.

Have you developed your emotional mastery? If not, and you live in a first world country, I guarantee you that you have an emotional need for lack of ressources. And your subconsciousness does it's job to accomplish what you desire. Release on that need. If you are deep into the spiritual path your Emotional State might be centered around Acceptance and Peace. Now, if you really don't do anything you are living in the lower stages like Apathy, Fear, Grief. These stage are real action killers and will tie you down. Coming back to Acceptance and Peace, while you can accomplish many great things in these states, for some work it is better to actually drop down a level into Courage. Because when you are in Acceptance you might not be motivated to do anything and in Peace you can basically just bliss out the whole day accomplishing nothing and being okay with it. So to get into Courage rememeber times in your life where you really felt courageous, adventurous, certain or alive. And sit with it and meditate on them. Release on all the resentment you have on Courage.
