@aurum I am looking for books on productivity, time management, task management, how to get more work done in less time, maximum productivity hacks, skills, tricks and principles. Any help is appreciated. Thanks for replying to my post. What's the link to the blog.

@Life CoachHey, I am excited to see your video. (could u send the link)So curious lol..

@eskwire. Why oh why. Why is it this way. Sometimes I just want to say a lot of things and I cannot for the fear of being dismissed or labelled aggressive. I can relate so much to whatever you said. Sigh

Our existence has got nothing to do with the existence of reality. Was the earth non-existent when we didn't exist on it ? Did the dinosaurs never exist ? It's only a matter of perception. We perceive reality through our sensory world but it does not change the nature of things in their original realm. So going by the above logic, infinity does exist irrespective of our existence.

Exactly. With emotional issues, we have to keep peeling off the layers of the onion to get to the center/source of those emotions. I am glad I was able to help @Lynnel. Have a great day

I like this forum just the way it is. All those avatars and everything else makes it come alive. It's so colorful and interesting. Everything is so goody goody except the pissing in the soup part.. Once again, Leo did a great job at this as always. So shout out to Leo. @Leo Gura

I don't like democracy . Stupid people voting stupid people. It's a mutual appreciation society of nuts in majority. Plus the huge problem of identity politics. In contrast to democracy, I find the idea of epistocracy very appealing.

I think you will need something more abstract if you don't have anything concrete right now. You might have to wait till you get a specific life purpose in your mind. Till then, It won't hurt to have general or abstract life purpose - like you want your everyday to be better than the day before, or you want to be more realistic in life, or you want more peace and happiness, or you want a quality nit mere existence. There are always certain general tools that could be applicable to almost any life purpose. For example, better communication skills or better interpersonal skills. It is applicable to any life purpose. You could begin with something more vague and then let it come to point where it all starts to crystallize to something more specific and important. Whatever skills you collect and learn and internalize on your personal development journey will always be applicable to either your life purpose or to any general situation in life.

Hahaha why we pretend to be separate when we are all one.

Wow, @Evilwave Heddy , just beautiful. Felt like a big firecracker falling through the sky. It was surreal. Like a mini comet landing

One thing is crystal clear - one night stand will only help you in attracting women initially. But a relationship will teach you a lot about how to keep it and sustain it. Practice makes man perfect. Even if this relationship turned sour, you will have learned something valuable out of it that can help you in future in keeping your marriage strong when you ultimately decide to marry and settle.

I agree with what @Galyna has to say here. no woman will fulfill you to the point where you are a successful person. Ultimately you need to decide between the two - whether you want to attract women or you just want to stay in a relationship. If you feel you want to learn more and then probably attract the most perfect girl you want, you could go the pickup way but how will you decide if she is best for you even then, because there will always be someone more attractive than her. It might turn into some sort of chase game getting you little frustrated in the end. The question here really is - What do you really want, not how you want it ? You need to be very upfront about it and ask yourself - what you really want. If you are vague or if you dilly-dally for too long, you are losing your precious time of youth achieving neither of the two. If being in a strong stable relationship gives you fulfillment, then you should wait for it or be in it and let it take its own course naturally. You are not sure just yet if going the pickup way will fulfill you in the long run. What if it turns out to be a waste of time ? By the way, being in a relationship also helps you to learn a lot about how to sustain it and you get to understand the nature of the opposite sex really well. In the end, every strategy has its own payoff.

Omg it was pure thrill. Felt like I was sinking into something. Just thrill.

I would spend my precious time in an animal shelter taking good care of all lonely cats and dogs. This precious time I will spend with the "real" mortal ones before I ascend to heaven.

Keep going, keep going. This seems to be the right way to go forward. Coming to your ground state.

If one of your parents periodically abandoned you(abandonment issues or negligence issues), you may be attracted to partners in the future whose love you have to “earn”, as opposed to being attracted to people that already love you. You may be feeling not worthy enough to have their love in your life even if you deserve it. I meant people who don't deserve the money they have and who made money in nefarious ways. But in the example of mother-baby, it does not apply at all. The child deserves all of their mother's love. You are right - merit doesn't make any sense. And whatever love and happiness comes your way, you should be grateful for it and openly receive it.

In my opinion, men are polygamous. I don't know much about women since they are heavily conditioned by society. but men are naturally drawn towards women they consider attractive in a sexual manner. It is civilization, not religion as such, that has brought us to a time where monogamy is considered the social norm. The need to breed is instinctive and cannot be suppressed. A male's natural tendency is to sleep with various women. There are also more women than men in the world, which is probably something evolutionary. Before Christianity, polygamy was the norm for the world. So all in all, I'd say that man is more naturally inclined to polygamy, and its the Christian moral system that convinced the majority of people in the world that it is not right or natural. Man is not monogamous, there is just too much human behavior that suggests the contrary. The same applies to "celibate" and we have a lot of evidence to support that also. Monogamy is a social and religious constraint on natural behavior that is designed to support the raising of children, and that is all. If monogamy were a natural state we would not have to have all sorts of laws that support it, people would just be monogamous because it was natural to them.

Do you suffer any childhood issues ? It is true that one should deserve things when one has the merit to earn them. You could write down a list of positive qualities and strengths that you believe you have. To me personally, this seems to be a self esteem issue when you begin to feel you don't deserve something. you might have observed people around you who have lots of things even when they really don't deserve them yet they are very content and happy. Maybe because, they are very happy and at peace with themselves. So they feel even better when they get more things in life and they openly receive them without fear/self-doubt. You will have to unlearn this thought pattern which is set in your mind that makes you feel undeserving of something. Allow yourself to openly and freely receive things without being too judgmental about it. You fully deserve what you have and even more. Create that feeling of worthiness and abundance within yourself. Reward yourself each time you feel you did something good. Whenever you have thoughts of self-doubt, express them, write them down, ridicule them, ask yourself if this is really true or am I just feeling it out of lack of something within me. You might realize that it was just your perception and not reality. Imagine yourself doing really well and all the good things coming to you. You will have to learn to target specific emotions that make you feel this way and work from there.

What to do when you are walking alone on the boring path of enlightenment. Bring slickhawk with you. Amen.

@ajasatya Very beautiful family. You are lucky ... Look at that grin on your face.

@Life Coach Is it that bad ?

Do you even sleep ........and for how many hours normally ?? Just curious

You mean it's begun to sound like some sort of a clichè. Like a typical commercial book that is meant to cater to the usual needs of the public.

You can practice detachment from your emotions. Try transcendental meditation. It helps a lot with this. Try different relaxation exercises and techniques. Another method is to become more self aware so you catch yourself in the moment when you are experiencing an outburst. If you think that a past emotional trauma is responsible for your instability then you may have to try therapy to release repressed emotions to bring some healing for past wounds. Handling emotions is always tough initially. You could do some research on emotional intelligence and read books on those. It will take time to show any significant difference so you will need patience.
