But sometimes the girl is the asshole too. This is kinda taboo to say. Every person has pros and cons.

Most of you have probably never traveled to East Asia.

If that is the average salary for San Francisco, I have a lot of work to do.

Wow. You seem angry. Look into that.

I think being attractive is kind of overrated too. The idea that you are placating to someone is actually not attractive. It depends.

There are so many movies that a lot of recent movies are playing with tropes from recent movies and past movies. This is a good time for movies.

Don't knock it until you try it lol.

Be very mindful of thoughts and imagine the moving mind as a nut moving back and forth. Now image a double-handed wrench and lock it on that nut so it stops moving. Hold that wrench there with both hands. This is the technique I share for stilling thoughts and I can use it anytime I want, although at first it is best to do this in a meditation session until it becomes something that you just do automatically. I had to practice this for many hours and years to do it at will now. But most of the time I do not want to still the mind.

Have you ever tried to still your thoughts?

You can actually work on stilling your thoughts.

You think the body thinks?

What do you think the better alternative is?

I like to say spirituality is a path and you have to find your own spirituality.

Yeah. If you genuinely desired it, you would already do it.

So you think what needs to be conjured up is genuine desire if that is not already present.

What about the situation where you have an intention to do something for a long time and never actually do it.

So you believe there is a success one can attain.
