Congratulations! You have been a good worker ant and made someone who is playing this game a little better than you a nice stash of money! I don't mean that to diminish your work, it's certainly honest and a good service you are doing. But if you want to implement yourself better and get more involved with your work you need a vision for what you want to do with your life. What is your plan? Do you want to keep working customer service your whole life? I've never been to Kroger but the idea that grocery workers would overly socialize with me sounds ridiculous.

What do you want to achieve? Habits can be nice to get shit done and to develop mastery. But you can achieve many great things without going to bed early and other habits. Make your goal something worthwhile that is big enough to sacrifice freedom. Or let your life become a mess if that brings you closer to your goal. Look man, you already have habits. Everyone does. What you are afraid of is changing these habits. Because if you want your life to change, you need to change. That means some part of you has to die. Death is inevitible for change. There is no getting around that. Accept the death of that part of you that needs to let go. Or don't... and stay where you are at.

@tatsumaru You are reading too much into it. Saying "I want to be with you forever" can be true if that is how a person feels like in the moment. Of course they might love someone else later, how should they know? Also getting a divorce doesn't have to be embarassing. Not everyone thinks that the state/church is this almighty entity without failures. In fact, many people cheat in marriages or get a divorce. Marriages, like religions are traditions that helped the survival of certain communities. I'm neither for nor against marriages but there can definitely be logical or emotional points be made in favour of them.

love is just neediness and attachment for survival purposes. Love is all there is and everything else is imaginary. ❤️

1. Constant stress, for example from work/school will cause your cortisol levels to increase in your body. Which in turn lowers testosterone. Get rid of that stress. Meditation is good. 2. While this constant tension and stress on you is bad - stepping into tension for short amounts of time will increase your masculine energy through the roof. So see where you can play with tension in your daily life that is on par with the level you can tolerate (or just a tiny bit above). 3. Clean up diet (less sugar, fast-food, toxins). 4. Sport (especially heavy and HIIT). 5. Good sleep.

Highly personal question. I'd buy one BTC. In a year or two you would have 100k again. The rest invest in yourself and in your purpose. Either in training, equipment or marketing.

I'd still love her. Say no to robot hate. Still waiting for part two of Alita battle angel

@Origins & @Jacob Morres I think you two would connect better if each of you saw that video

Some people just are like that. See it as a blessing. You found out sooner rather than later. Don't waste mental energy on them. But if this is something that is reoccuring in your life it's worth to look deeper into it. Use this time to feel into your feelings of being "worthless, dumb, stupid and angry and used". Allow these emotions to be there, give them space. They are there for a reason. Use them as navigation. And maybe take a look if you are misinterpretating or reading too much into these situations. For example, a good friend would not help you out and then expect to receive the same help the next day. If you had a bad day or couldn't be there for a friend one day, a good friend would not question their whole friendship and intentions immediately. For example. sometimes when I meet new people there is a small chance I will disappoint them and they write me a message. Telling me how I wronged them and maybe demand that I explain myself, or that they end contact. These messages always take me by surprise and I can't understand how they intepreted a situation like this. I mean I can feel for them and understand their perspective but it's just that their reality is so disconnected from my reality that I feel like we are not even talking the same language. You know what I mean? Furthermore, their way of communication and thinking indicates that they are not willing to expand or value the relationship. I guess it has to do with the psychological bias that we want to fulfill the expectations other have of us. If you want to take advantage of this, instead of telling people that they dumped you, thank them for being such an awesome friend! This way they are more inclined to fulfill your expectations and be your awesome friend.

It's part of the game. I'd recommend you to pursue financial education and emotional mastery.

If you still need an income from a job to survive and pay bills and... If you can't earn enough with your own business already... then yes, it's better to get a job in your niche than to go work for Mc Donald's. Finding a job where you can actually learn something can be hard, it's easier to learn from people if they don't also have to pay you.

How do you know the "medic/ nurse/ assistant" you talk about have this mindset? In general, our society values life way more than death. Many factors contribute to this Projection - People want to live and automatically assume everyone else does as well. Survival bias - We put a lot of work into our own survival, helping to do the same confirms our own survival bias. Ego - Fundamentally, seeing ourselves seperate from everything else keeps us in a constant fear of death. Unability to accept reality - Lifelong habit of rejecting reality and resisting what is. To add to that, death from a non-dualistic perspective is final. When someone feels bad or has pain there is always the chance to improve the situation. Either by healing/lowering the pain, mastering emotions, mindfulnes or what have you. But if someone is dead that is final. Coming back to your question. You are GOD, the "medic/ nurse/ assistant" and everything. You want reality exactly the way it is. Including vegetative states and nightmares.

I wouldn't say that Tony is the best coach, or flawfless or whatever. But I'm sure his career has been an overall net positive for many. He is good at getting people out of their victim mindset and taking responsibility. She seems a little condescending. Her knowledge about relationship issues seems very biased and from a quick glance over her channel she seems to be all about exposing and shaming people. Wouldn't be surprised if she makes an actualized.org cult exposing video next.

@Nahm beautiful, now & here ❤️

You can also print the Mona Lisa and hang it on your wall. Or pay someone to paint it for you. I think it has less to do with technology and more with the art market in general. I don't understand it either.

Closing this thread for low quality. Now you can say, doesn't matter had sex.

What does it mean to "not be valued in society"? Does it mean that the cashier won't smile at me, that my family won't love me, my friends will think I'm a looser and that I won't find a partner? I mean this term is pretty wishy washy. Also success has different meanings for everyone. Don't waste your time thinking about who is to blame for what and being a victim. Or trying to please someone. I think she also falls a bit into the trap of "not being the opposite sex" Like if I would make a video telling everyone that girls don't want to look good but have to put up makeup everyday because of society. Well, yeah that might be true to some extent but let's not ignore that woman have the tendency to like to care for their body and just feel pretty. Make everything around them more beautiful. Correct me if I'm mistaken on that. So yeah we guys collect and gather resources and expand into the world because of society. But I am also deeply driven to use these resources and create something of my own. Penetrate the world so to say. That is how I guess many man feel.

@longusername12345 Many interesting questions. As a whole, movies and tv shows are Art in the same way as literature, music or theater is. They are an experience, like everything else we experience. So I feel like there are many different ways you can use them for self-actualization. What is a movie in essence other than pixels on a screen? An immersive story. Stories have been used for centuries to deliver information in an entertaining way. And many people seem to enjoy stories. Insights You can get insights by watching a movie. Think about your current situation and how it relates to the contents of the movie. This requires that you are open to take the possibility that what was told in the movie is true and of value for you. Of course not every movie is made for this but Insights sometimes come in even the most surprisising circumstances. Moreover a good movie will make you start asking question. By presenting interesting scenes and withholding information until the very last moment. Think about how you can make things in your life more interesting or see thing in a more interesting way and ask more questions. Open Mindedness You can use movies to open up to new ways of living and new perspectives. We tend to watch movies with characters we like to identify with (because that is what movies do, they make you identify with people on the screen). You can increase your capacity to see thing from different perspectives, especially when you watch movies you might otherwise would not watch. Maybe a different genre, or a movie from a different country than what you are usually interested in. Focus More on a side note but watching a movie or series for any length of time requires focus. If you find yourself wandering off in your mind or getting sleepy just come back to the movie. Only watch movies or series mindfully. Don't let the noise and images just rain on you. Try watching a movie with a lot of information and see if you can follow it. Or try to watch an older movie that seems kinda boring to us now because we are used to more fast cuts and action. Emotions Movies are fine tuned to evoce your emotions. If you want to watch a movie because of emotions they can be a great medium to feel more connected with yourself. Set the intention to feel all the emotions the movie wants to make you feel and really open your heart. Then again think about ways in which you can integrate these emotions into your life. This is one of the main reasons why people watch movies. Before watching a movie make a conscious decision how that movie might make you feel and why you want to feel this way. Knowing why you want to feel certain emotions or maybe even need to feel certain emotions is a powerful insight. You don't want to use movies to fill a hole in you. Instead, use this information to work on your emotional mastery. We watch movies because they make life appear more fun, interesting and magical. Instead of using this to escape your reality, try if you can bring some of that fun, interesting and magical stuff into your life. Think about practical ways how you can do that.

You don't need to fix yourself. You grow. We all do. Forget about worthiness or feeling worthy. It doesn't exist. In the meantime you can work on your Emotional States by integrating your emotions. You don't feel confident because you need reality to be a certain way. You need all the answers to be more in control of your situation. This need is an emotion and can be felt and released. The truth is you don't need anything. You are already complete and dandy. Everything we need, be it answers, love, validation, control can never be given to us from the outside world. We can only give it to ourselves. Check out this foundational video if you haven't seen it yet. ❤️

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

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.
