I am sure it can but it may also be important how it's shared for example if it's just forced down on you you may be more likely to resist it than if you where given just the truth the proof to back up the claim so you can make your own decision and as its done in a more friendly way it may be more welcomed or if it done in a way that make it interesting -
What do you think about that science think that what we see may not be an accurate perspective of reality
-
You could always look for something else that may be interesting there should also be a lot of free places you can learn from(self education) so it shouldn't be a problem to get started (at least on a basic level) no matter what you are looking for but I don't recommend expecting to getting fulfillment before getting good at what you do (similar situation as the passion mindset) (but the other things i mentioned before like you think its meaning full what you do etc. should be important requirements if it should be your life purpose) if you are interested in truth and nature you could look up fields that goes in that direction maybe some could be science, biology etc. https://www.degreequery.com/top-10-green-careers-nature-lovers/

Isn't it also about how much time we use on it daily?

I don't really think it works that way to find your life purpose at least in terms of career if you want a career for your life purpose just get really really good at what you chose I don't recommend expecting to get immediately passion once you have found what you think is your life purpose at least that is if you go with the research in so good they can't ignore you by cal newport he argues that those with the passion mindset (if you believe in a pre existing passion and all you have to do is find it then you will be happy) vs craftman mindset(getting really good at what you do is what give true satisfaction/passion) will end up less happy sometimes even create anxiety He gives some examples in the book that even people who are really good at what they do had anxiety about what their life purpose would be before they got really good but they didn't have it once they got really good(they got more confident that it was their life purpose the better they where) i recomend reading the book for more details if you go with the craftman mindset a good way to start is just go with something you find interesting and something you think could have a positive impact on the world, you work with people you like and then get really really good at it(or so good they can't ignore you)

I recomend checking out cal newport he talks about for example quiting social media and digital minimalism
-
i would say so but it also important how you work some people like Cal Newport think that's not all work is equal so its important to figure out what the right work is to get the most benefits from the time you spend working he also argues that focus is the new iq i guess from reading hes books that the more you optimize your intensity of focus the more your focus win over iq

I think there can be a lot of consequences in life if you fake personal development or just in general one of which is for example if you do it with things you actually want but really doing it is hard so you kinda fake(maybe even unconsciously) it so it seems real but the consequence of doing so will mean that it isn't actually real what you have or it won't have the same kind of personal(example: satisfaction, real growth etc.) and external benefits(new oppertunitys etc.) as those who didn't fake it would be nice on a video about this if he already have one feel free to share a link (I am aware of hes fake growth vs real growth)
-
not 100% sure what you mean but if its about becoming a genius in a field i recommend deep work and deliberate practice maybe just ask what you are good at?
-
HI sometimes in personal development I have seen people say that you should know what you can and can't control but is there really anything you can't control(besides how the laws of physics work I guess) for example a long time ago people didn't think we could control or predict the weather but now we actually sort of can due to global warming we could probably control it better if we used the same things that make global warming more "wisely"(and probably control it better with better technology) an other example is not everyone may think you can control how people think but it's possibly to influence the way people think an other example could be that there is many who think you can't achieve the same things people like Albert Einstein did but there has been a lot of research on expertise that shows that it's possibly for anyone(if you have at least 30 years or more to work in your career and if it's done "right") and how you can get there if I remember right the wright brothers who invented the air plane should have said they didn't believe planes could fly very far but look at the air planes we have now is the idea that there is some things we can't control just a limiting belief? Just curious what do you think?
-
find an intrinsic motivation or/and *busting/disproving* if you may have a limiting belief or maybe really go deep and figure out why you think that at the root core

the best thing i have found my self so far is to embrace single tasking without distractions (or one project at a time) and if possible do it at the same time all the days you do it(and maybe add routine and rituals) there is some research that say the more impulsive we are the less likely we are to be productive and i think those tips i mention above help avoid being impulsive
-
@Light Lover I don't recommend to expect it to be easy deliberate pratice and deep work are some pretty difficult things to do but it can be very rewarding @blazed what about deep work and deliberate pratice?
-
I don't think everyone(some maybe but not everyone) needs to worship something just saying i don't think we necessarily worship money but that since that we needed money more and more over time it have become more important to our survival (for example we need money to buy food, to have electricity in our homes etc.) it's not really worship but more of a need
-
Try deliberate pratice, deep work and cal newports top performer course onces its open https://www.amazon.com/Peak-Secrets-New-Science-Expertise/dp/1531864880 https://www.amazon.com/Deep-Work-Focused-Success-Distracted/dp/1455586692 http://top-performer-course.com/
-
I have found to be useful to just have separate periods one period where you just read and an other where you use it in pratice and just take the time you need to be successful
-
I think this might be interesting with an in depth video on (the idea is inspired by cal newports books) what i mean by passive work vs working right is for example with passive work if you are learning a specific thing it might mean you are sort of doing it maybe skimming what you are reading and maybe sometimes checking websites on the internet vs when working right you may be much more focused and thinking more deeply on what you are learning and more intensely and having no distractions i think it would be interesting if this kind of working could be used in personal development i imagine it may help get a lot of work done faster without losing quality of the work maybe even be able to do it with a higher quality(or better results) in a shorter amount of time For other examples there have been a lot of research on this related to expertise and on learning how to learn that may be interesting i have also read that some would get better results in work outs if they did it more intensely than people who did it less intense (but I imagine to some limits) and some might get better results with a good healthy diet could be an other example of working right maybe a good example i have found in personal development could be when dealing with emotions to instead of resisting them, fully feel them with zero resistance 24/7 (credits goes to leo highly recommend watching hes video on how to deal with strong negative emotions)
-
Composing music i would say just chose something you are interested in, have an impact you think is important and if you are around people in the job/career etc. that they are someone you enjoy being around with at least thats some of the things that's recomend in so good they can't ignore you in case if you are looking for a life purpose
-
Something that have helped me in other areas was to stretch the time i was able to go with out it(for example using the internet too much) or set limits to how much time i could use it and eventual eliminate it over time(i think it helps to rewire the mind to get used to go without it) or only on specific days or a specific time i could use it and then not use it at all out side of those however it might work as a temporary solution maybe not as a permanent solution but it's just from personal experience I don't have any research to back it up except from cal newports book deep work where he talks about something very similar where he goes in to detail on how to unwire the brain from using the internet to rewire it to something positive maybe you can use habits as a tool to rewire your brain some study shows that it takes about 66 days to form a new habit alternative you can replace a habit with an other one (i have read that some where able to replace a bad habit with a positive one at least thats what i rember) hope you can use it

I think it would be pretty cool if we had a section just for sharing notes it might be useful to look for new information and easier to find but of course full respect if not (I am not thinking notes just for leos videos but just notes in general, or any notes)
-
Read so good they can't ignore you(it may help with clarification and the why) for how to be so good they can't ignore you i recomend reading deep work (it may help with the how) and maybe also some of deliberate pratice, cal newports and scott h youngs top performer course, scott h youngs rapid learner course, and ultra learning (from scott h young) it may give a good foundation of what matters in a career and how you can get there alternative maybe also read some of productivity (I recommend focusing on one thing at a time for maximum productivity) i highly recommend choosing just one the reason why is that increasing the chance to get all the benefits possible from that career (if that what your passion is) if you chose serval different careers it may take a while to get some benefits because you have to spend more time to get equal good at all of them how ever with just one you could get extremely good at just one in the same time and have more benefits from it for example better chance of more money as its likely you will get hired more often because you have more rarer and valuable skills, it may be hard to get that from many careers as your attention is divided to them vs all of that attention to just one career, it would just be many careers you are less skilled in vs one career you are extremely skilled in and you will probably also a bigger impact etc. people like steve jobs, john williams, nikola tesla, franz liszt, albert einstein may be a good example (they really put their focus into one career or at least one area) there is still good examples of people who where really good careers in many different fields like leonardo da vinci and issac newton but I don't think it will have as much benefits as getting really good at one thing (it may also be more satisfying as there is some research that says the better you are the better you will feel about what you do)
-
What is your opinion on that the universe may come from nothing?
-
An option could be to use time blocking where you set a side an equal amount of time to both for example maybe 2 hours total so 1 hour school work and 1 hour life purpose but for maximum (and best results) productivity I recommend doing one thing at a time (with a high intensity of focus and no distractions) i recommend getting at least 8 hours of sleep or it might be hard to have optimal productivity hope you can use it

Why aplogize if you wasn't aware of it and it wasn't your intention or had zero clue?
