@Psyche_92 yes that's normal. It's easier when you start seeing the results the keep motivated. I have been in the gym consistently for 3 months and I got the following results: Muscle growth Increased conditioning Improved sleep Better mood The last month the effects have started to get more serious. The biggest effect that I had not totally anticipated is my improved sleep. Because it changes everything. My mood, my consentration, my energy. Give it some time Next don't go all out in the beginning every single time. You need to give your body some time to adjust.

When someone's attitude, actions, thoughts, or words, are intended to be harmful in any way, shape or form, towards another race. Racism is a form of discrimination, but discrimination does not necesairly involve race.

This comedian addresses pretty much the same thing as what I mean by don't make it a cartoon character situation. The truth is much more nuanced. You will see this cartoon character thinking with White people, Black people, Men, Women, etc.... ?

Move out when you are 18/when you can.

Also you have to kind of ask yourself: How true is this idea of Black people being this massively problematic minority group in 2017? There just has been a Black US president for 8 years. More and more Black people attend college. And there are Tiger Woods, Serena Williams, and Lewis Hamilton who are successful in these 'White gentleman' sports like Golf, Tennis, and Formula 1. That's a big turn around considering 50/60 years ago Martin Luther King got assassinated because he ran an equal rights movements and Black children were not allowed to attend the same school as White Children. In two or three generations we almost made a 180 degrees turn around. Give it another three generations and let's see what the situation is then. You can keep focussing on these old ideas but it's only going to slow down the progress. Progress that inevitably will be made.

@MasterNigel you can't find the truth if you make cartoon character representation of a situation. Black people being proud of rap music, that's not even accurate. I know lots of Black people who do not like rap music at all. That's a cartoon character representation of reality. What do you exactly consider to make up Black Culture? I think the poverty is only part of the problem. Poverty is part of a bigger problem, and that problem is lack of perspective.

What you are describing as the ideal sounds more in the direction of Tech College.

Yeah it's inevitable that in just a cosmic second we will all blend together. Globalization is going at a faster rate by the decade. Pay attention.

Do it. The most money is to be made when you are unconventional.

I was thinking my life basically consists of 3 'elements'. Work, gym, and my relationship with my girlfriend. Those are the 3 main things that I focus on. I will dabble in some other elements but those are the main 3 things. Soon I will have to add a 4th element to those 3 which I would call Family. Now I think maybe I should add a fifth Element to my life to elevate it. I was just thinking does the level of Self-Actualization depend on how many Elements a person can successfully manage in their life at the same time? When I look at other people most people seem to make up their life if 3 elements. Some maybe 4. But it's hard to find regular people who's life consists of 5 or 6 elements.

That's funny you say that. My girlfriend is Black and I think I have some insight in this. You say: "Maybe Black people are genetically predisposed to commit more violence". The funny thing is that I have heard a lot of Black people make that same claim about White people. Their reasoning is that during colonial times it were the White people who went around killing and enslaving other people. Also I have heard Black people say that most serial killers are white, which statistically I think is truth. (......) And that it was White people who pretty much exterminated the Native Americans in North America. Just for good measure let me also remind you that is was White people (Arians) who mass exterminated the Jews in WW2. And as singled out examples by your reasoning Barack Obama should be more vicious then Donald Trump. Now like I said there are White people who do hold those believes regarding Black people. And there are Black people holding those same believes about White people. So one side got to be in the wrong correct? Or maybe both sides or right in their assumption, and humans as a whole are an agressive species predisposed to be violent.

@Seeker_of_truth Like any model it's limited. Because any model is rigid. Which is good because it gives some structure. And that that makes it a good reference point from where to start your investigation. So study the model. Internalize it. (That's the part where you hold on to it). And then let it go. Realizing that any model is limited because of it's rigidity.
-
I think it's pretty accurate. Only thing is that while you take the test yourself, you will always have some blindspots towards your personality, so that can influence the results. You can let someone else that you thrust take the test for you as well, and compare the results.

This is a great video. It's a bodybuilding video. But it's not really it's more about life purpose in general. Like they say in the video "......otherwise what are you doing? You are just waiting to die, do not wait to die....."

Also what I heard people do, is watching Netflix shows together. Like you can count down start the same episode of the same show at the same time. And then have Skype on so you can see and talk to each other as well. So it's like watching TV together. Or documentary's or whatever. I guess when you are nerdy like that you could also play online video games together.
-
Have her 'dance' for you on Skype.
-
@MasterNigel you should watch the documentary "13TH" on Netflix. It got some really interesting points about the US prison system and black opression.
-
Great video. I somehow missed this one.

The last few weeks I have been sleeping really well. Most nights I sleep straight trough the night without waking up. I think this is because of two things: The last 3 months I have been going to the gym consistently lifting weights. And the last few weeks I have consistently been walking trough nature/the park. I have been doing these two things almost on a daily basis. I thought I would share.

Think of it this way. You mainly compete against yourself. Competing with other people is just a measurement tool of how well you are doing. It's not about beating them. It's about pushing yourself higher and higher.

I heard a saying yesterday: "If you believe in politicians, you don't believe in God" lol

@Annie I am sorry I have never heard of that. I did some Google search and I found some information here: https://www.google.com/amp/m.wikihow.com/Increase-Estrogen%3famp=1 Also it seems GNC has supplements to boost estrogen. I also think I read an article not too long ago that claimed that a diet very high in fiber could lead to a removal of a lot of androgen hormones like testosterone as well as estrogen. So my reasoning is that maybe I you eat a diet very high in fiber that could damage your hormone levels. But that's just an educated guess and speculation on my part.

@Annie from what I know acne in women can be because of higher then average testosterone levels in women. I know/have known women who had this. From what I have heard sometimes the birth control pills can reduce acne. Also there is some sort of vitamin A treatment or something, I forgot the name, but it sounds pretty intense. I believe it has varied levels of success depending on the person. Honestly when it is not too severe I would suggest just wearing some extra make-up and otherwise just accepting the fact. That's what I told my girlfriend. She has some acne in her 30s but I honestly don't really care. She is pretty anyways and you don't notice it at all with a little make-up. I am not sure if in her case she has higher testosterone levels, but I don't think that's necesairly a bad thing, because it makes the woman more of a freak ? Honestly self love is most important in this case I think. I am sure you got plenty of other attractive qualities and features.
