We're pretty much a like. Not really fond of school either. School stuffs are sometimes rather impractical. Still better off trying to just go along with it. If you really need to, you would want to minimize the amount of subjects you're taking. At least finish your high school first. Maybe you can then take a year off or two after high school. One more thing is to take advantage of summer breaks or any breaks, that's a must. I have the exact same goal in mind -- making 100k+ a month. There are a lot of ways you can make money but there's only several I know (probably way more) that can rack 100k/month. This is my list: 1. Affiliate Marketing - I've read about people making about $10,000,000 in one year.http://www.viperchill.com/no-backlinks/ 2. YouTube - check SocialBlade.com -- Pewds makin $12 Mill in one year. 100k/month is definitely possible 3. Online Business - If you are creative and is interested in business -- You can probably rack up more than $40,000 if you are really up to it. 4. ForEx Trading - can potentially rack $600,000 a month. I've check them leader boards. I've seen people do it consisently. Though it requires high amount of equity and highly effective strategy to get this far. My advice really is focus on one thing. Just pick a field then invest your time on it.

Maybe it's the one titled "The Challenge of Making Bold Life Changes"

See, I have the same problem. It takes practice to overcome this. Meditation - Try not to resist your body. Just for several minutes, just let the thoughts flow and let the emotions and feelings flow. If your mind still resist the body, then also let those thoughts be. The feelings of cravings from your body and lustful thoughts just let them be there. The thoughts of 'i should be getting back on track' & 'I shouldnt be thinking about this girl' and all the feelings of frustration just let them be as well. Purpose - No brainer. Really important. Reason why you are being distracted at the first place Shadow Work - Get in touch with the feeling of cravings. As well as your judgemental thoughts on yourself. Most of the time you were not conscious. Use visualization and rewind. Then get in touch with the feelings. Feel, not analyze. Frame -

@Joe Schmoe Serious though. Give us a hint with the secret knowledge you possess.

Yes. All of us are enlightened. Most of us don't 'know' it.

@Joe Schmoe What is worth pursuing?

Tolerance and acceptance of self Awareness

NOTHING. The rabbi entered the temple early. Not a soul was about. He gravitated towards the ark, opening it to marvel at the beauty of the torahs inside. He heard the creak of a door behind him, and saw from the corner of his eye that the cantor was entering the temple. Immediately the rabbi fell to his knees before the ark and in a fervent voice cried out, "O Lord, I am nothing!" He repeated this prayer in mantra-like fashion as the cantor approached. The cantor, impressed with this show of piety, dropped to his knees beside the rabbi and joined with him in prayer. Together they chanted: "O Lord, I am nothing! O Lord, I am nothing!" The door at the rear of the temple creaked once again. This time it was the janitor entering the temple, curious to find out the source of the singing he had heard while mopping the halls. He was so awe-struck by the scene that he threw down his mop and ran beside the rabbi and cantor to join them. He too knelt before the ark and added his voice to the simple prayer: "O Lord, I am nothing! O Lord, I am nothing!" After a minute of this, the cantor leaned over and nudged the rabbi with his elbow. Pointing to the janitor, the cantor snickered with disdain in a low voice, "Hey, look who thinks he's nothing!"

You can do 1 hour meditation every Sunday. If you have not, check out strong determination sitting. For a beginner it's going to be more struggling with thoughts than mediating but try it. *the video is called Meditation in Steroids

If I can go back in time I would tell myself not to think of meditation as a doing as it is more about feeling rather than something you 'do' I would tell myself to stop thinking too much about "wow, can't wait till meditation will give me results X and Y." "I've meditated for 30 days straight 20 minutes a day. Where are my results?" What meditation means to me now is just being mindful. I wash dishes slowly. I wash the car slowly. To go deeper, you actually might want to stop moving physically and sit down. From personal experience it is way easier to be mindful of thoughts flowing while sitting physically still. Though laying down can be distracting. Also have something to lean back on. Talking to someone? I tried talking, you almost have to talk really really slow. It's just too distracting. I'd say don't talk to anybody while meditating.

Get a large one. We're sharing.

How could it be flat or not when in present consciousness, there is even no such thing as an 'Earth' to begin with?

Creating another illusion doesn't hurt. You've been doing it your whole life. In fact that 'illusion' is great for fuel to take you in great heights. 1 engulfs 2. 1 is feeling, 2 is doing. So they don't oppose each other, at least from my personal experience. Maybe you think that meditation and awareness is 'doing' cause I use to think that.

I am. Always been. Always be.

@Extreme Z7 wait, that's not evidence. All I see are flashing pixels that resemble a bald man that is synchronized with the random noises my speakers make.

My advice is appreciate the beauty of all it, man.

If he is manipulating us through producing really valuable & high quality contents for FREE, then I say he keep it up^_^ Makes me think that Leo himself is the one who is being manipulated--- by higher desires.

Idk about you but from personal experience what really causes to to become selfish is through not loving & accepting myself. If you accept and love yourself it's going to be hard to be unkind towards others.
