@Tomek I'm going to try to help you in your situation but I've got so little it's going to be hard. But nevertheless, let's try. This might be the Resistance. Maybe your work is something that really matters, it's truly great work. It really does make a change, both in yourself and in the world around you. If that's the case, maybe all your worries are just the Resistance, acknowledge them, move on, do great work. Or you might have some beliefs about the town you're living in. Things like "I can only do business in this town", and "People in this town aren't to be socialized with", or "I can't do business in any other town because [Insert_excuse_here]". Or this might simply be the fact that you're not self-reliant enough. I can see that you're about your business or your social life, but why not both ? It's not about those things, it's about you. You came to the outside world to fix a problem of yours, that won't work, your problem stems from your inside world, you need to fix that. Can you afford a coach ? You might need one. Or maybe you can find some book about Psychology, stuff that's deep, stuff like Taming Your Gremlin, by Rick Carson, or the Meditations by Marcus Aurelius. Or maybe you just need to meditate more, this also really helps with this stuff. Do you meditate ? For how long ? 1 hr/day is recommended, maybe you can start at 30 min/day. It can be any other reason, my intuition brought me to this, you need to go deeper. you need to go deeper, at some point, the outside world can't help you any more, you need to take responsibility.

@appleaurorae Give yourself a Project. It doesn't have to be something you're really passionate about. It doesn't have to be a full-blown life purpose. It doesn't have to be something you carefully optimised so it's in sync with your values, strengths, zone of genius, and ideal medium. It doesn't even need to be something work-related, maybe all you need is to get back in touch with what it means to be doing something that you like. All it has to be is something that you want to do. Something you're motivated toward, don't just be moving away from pain. Something that you can see will benefit your life, and maybe other people's life as well (not needed). My point is do something. Anything. Put in a habit of working on it regularly. You need to get some traction going, get the snowball rolling, keep it rolling by having the habit, and eventually, it'll become bigger than what you ever imagined.

@reez The new one. It's the same as the older one but with more stuff, and no deleted stuff.

The only Investment guide you'll ever need, by Andrew Tobias, is amazing. Money Master the Game, by Tony Robbins, is amazing. It's Not About The Money, by Brent Kessel, will teach you more about your money psychology, a must-read if you want to achieve financial freedom. And any book by Warren Buffett will definitely teach you a lot about investing your money in the right way. Those just come out of the top of my head. Go find forums about money, entrepreneurship, and other related stuff if you want more, but read those first, they're the most important ones.

Visioning : Limited Resources Time, Money, Energy, Attention, Willpower. Scarce resources, Valuable resources. What if everybody in the world understood the best way to use them ? We're investors, we're Value-Investors. We put in a little bit of effort at first, and we get compounded growth in return. Put in a little bit of time, a little bit of money, a little bit of willpower, and get maximum results. It is our responsibility to maximize those, quit bad habits, they drain them. Eat healthy, exercise, and sleep well, this will help you with energy. Meditate, it will increase your Willpower and your Attention-directing skills. What's more ? Don't over-promise and under-deliver. Don't do ten thousand different things at once. I can see myself be a one-to-one physical mentor to someone. I'd work with them, help them grow, and we would create something amazing together. We could use both of our resources, mine and theirs. Which brings me to support. Imagine if we had all the resources of a hundred people, a thousand people, 10 million people, 7 billion people. That is a lot of resources. I can see someone enrolling himself in a community of people willing to help out each other, and then this guy gets his whole life figured out. He starts to take action, he starts to grow, and that growth compounds, and then he helps new beginners, like he was helped when he started. Correctly allocating resources for the things that matter can bring you 10 times. 100 times, 10'000 times as much as the initial investment. Spend a little resources on learning how to dream up the most amazing dreams you can ever dream of, and your life will transform. Your willpower will be maximized, you won't quit until your dreams get realised, you'll have passion, you'll be excited about life, you'll be working toward your goals, and eventually having your biggest dreams realised, and be happy for the rest of your life. Tiny Success : Willpower I can sense homeostasis. After doing visualising tonight, I was thinking about doing journalling and I kinda felt like I didn't want to do it. Of course, I'm writing this and you're reading it so obviously I did do it, but still. In my Lazy High Achiever Course, I'll be more ready to talk about homeostasis, because I've actually experienced it. Also, I can see that I am in fact doing the things that matter, otherwise no resistance would be there, so that's great. I can also see that I really am managing myself really well. And that I could not be doing any other habit. Btw, the next habit I'm going to put in place is to be doing 30 minutes of actual work, whether it's writing an article or designing a course, I will be doing it. Tiny Failure : Laziness At some point today I could have been reading, or working on my course, or on my article. But I didn't, I just watched some videos by Tai Lopez on YouTube, oh and also I watched porn. I was lazy. In my ultimate vision of what a typical day would look like I'd probably be answering email, or texting my girlfriend, or even just listening to some music, or watching pictures of nature on Flickr, or talk to my friends or something. I know I have limited willpower, and the world has limited willpower, so it's gonna take time to get there, but it'll work well. Habits Meditation : I feel completely detached from my thoughts today. When I'm meditating, I'm more in sync with my true self, this is cool. Also I believe that my Self-Regulation signature strengths is deeply built up by this meditation habit, so that's great. Visualisation : I was bad at it today, got distracted. My ultimate vision of visualising is more about being really happy about doing it, I can sense the 'happy' emotion that I would feel, I'm going to be more focused on doing that in the future. Dinner : One of my dad's colleagues died of a heart attack today. He's contemplating death for real now, this is big, this is a turning point for him. At the dinner table, he acknowledged that Life is precious, do not waste it. Don't judge people, get help from people. And also, and mostly, all you've got, you created it, you are responsible. He actually acknowledged that, maybe he'll be taking on Self-Actualization.

Visioning : The Authentic Self That Self that lives a great life, that self that is aware of so much about life, and the world around him. That Self that can achieve anything that it sets out to do. That Self that is great at all kinds of relationships, family, friends, sexual partners, loving partners. That Self that has an amazing career that he’s really passionate about, where he really helps to improve Life, and of course, pays himself well for it. That Self that has high consciousness, and that knows the true nature of Life, God, the Self. That Self that takes responsibility for his life, that claims his agenda, that is able to work well with others, who have similar agendas. That Self that is constantly looking to grow more and more, for ever. That Self that is always trying to make this world a better place, through his Life’s Purpose, the work he was born to do. That Self that has really high Self-Esteem and Confidence, that loves himself, and the world, even with all of his imperfections. That Self that can do anything materially, he can travel the world, discover new cultures, see amazing sights, or learn great things at seminars that cost multiple thousands of dollars, for example. That Self that just feels amazing every day of his life, that has Great Emotions, that feels Happy, Brave, Proud, and also Tranquil, and has so much Peace of Mind. That Self that keeps giving more and more, that is so generous other people might be like “How can he give so much without running out ?”, because he has so much he just feels that he needs to give all of it away. That Self that is connected to others, that understands others on a deep level, and that is able to help them in the best way possible, in their particular situation. That Self that has amazing health, that is vibrant, and has huge amounts of vitality, and that uses that energy to fuel his work, his relationships, his emotions, his feelings, his powerful habits, his travels, his readings, his meals, his exercise routine, literally everything he does in his life. And those are just some example, that come to mind right now, I could go on, more and more. But most importantly, this is about doing, not talking. Being the most efficient at doing, and the most efficient at motivating others to be doers. Tiny Success : Work that Matters I matter. A lot. I had planned to work with my mum on the Manifesto on Thursday, but I finished school at noon, so we worked today. Most of her objections were actually rejecting the change, not the article, or myself. It’s funny because Seth’s Blog post of today was about rejection, I guess that’s what you would call a coincidence. I can make this even better if I ask my dad tomorrow morning, in the car, the following question : “If they had the Olympics for the World’s Greatest Son, who do you think would win ? (conceptually, of course)”. This will help him do visioning, and it’ll help me know what I need to do. Tiny Failure : Rejection My mum rejected the change ! Originally, I didn’t want to write about this because it’s a Lag Measure, not a Lead Measure (Google that). And you know what, I’m not. Let me think about a good Lead Measure to counter-attack this. Oh I got it ! It’s about Awareness. In the moment that it was happening, I wasn’t aware of it happening. I need to go talk to her about this stuff. I need to tell her that she’s rejecting the change. Or, I need more awareness of my feelings toward this relationship. I’d like to have a coach for this. Books won’t help. I’m going to write more about this, perhaps in the Habits section. Yeah, definitely in the Habits section, it just works well over there. Feelings re-surface whenever interactions happen, that’s in the morning, when my brother makes noises in the bathroom and I’m meditating right next to it in my bedroom, at the dinner table, when I come home from school, and of course, any time I think about them. Habits Meditation : I found the perfect way to sit. It’s hard to describe with words. Visualisation : I was mostly distracted today, but I was able to feel things in my visualisation. And I contrasted my old Life Purpose statement with my new one, showing that it’s still the same, just better-worded. Dinner : I tried to practice the whole “I am not to blame for their thoughts, emotions, and behaviours” thing, but it’s kind of my job as a Leader. There’s the biggest challenge any Leader must face : Taking Responsibility — not Controlling — of other People. Especially people who are close to you, who you have feelings for. Now I’m asking you, and me, “What do I need to do to deal with this ?”. Patience would work. They’re not ready to change. You can’t change people who are unwilling.

Visioning : Awareness Presence is human. Presence is all that is needed to achieve anything ever. The here and now is the world we live in. We don't live in the somewhere else and now, not in the here yesterday, only the here and now. The here and now is a beautiful place, it's where dreams come true, it's where dreams are created, it's where our subconscious mind is at work, it's where we feel our emotions. It's where we're happy, it's where we realise we've been angry, it's where enlightenment happens, it's where consciousness lies, and it's where awareness is more powerful than multiple supernovae combined. Awareness creates moments like "Ah-ha ! I kinda knew it yet I couldn't put it into words !". Oh and by the way, you had put it in words, you just weren't aware of it. Awareness inspires action, "This change is happening. Let me embrace it !". Awareness breaks bad habits, awareness allows anticipation, awareness allows emotional intelligence, the most valuable kind of intelligence. Awareness is true health of the mind. Awareness is power. Noticing, Being Present, Being Centred, those are critical tools that build up awareness, without them, you're not aware. Notice that awareness is not mere knowledge, knowledge isn't power, awareness is. Awareness is when you feel the knowledge, not just think it. Most of the times, "knowledge" is used for reassurance. Whereas awareness is used to achieve great things. What kind of things ? How about breaking all of your neuroses, ever. How about changing the world, in its entirety. For thousands of years, humanity has been on a quest to gain more and more awareness. Awareness is sight, we're all blind. We're really unaware of everything. Awareness is the difference between knowing about enlightenment, and what the true self really is, and actually being enlightened. Awareness is the difference between knowing a lot about relationships, and actually having amazing relationships. Awareness is the difference between knowing a lot about how to get your financial freedom in life, and actually having financial freedom in life. Awareness is the difference between watching a seminar filmed on tape, and actually going to the seminar and being changed by it. Awareness moves mountains. When I think about the great books that I read, and that someday I'm actually going to write, I know that it's about simply noticing something and pointing it out to people. Tiny Success : Willingness I want to say that I got aware of the fact that my visioning really doesn't work, and that I decided to figure it out, but I don't know, it just doesn't feel like a success, so let me ask myself, "What did I do today that, if repeated consistently over a long period of time, will bring me towards ultimate success in fulfilling my life purpose ?". I was willing to not criticize too much. I was willing to read. And I took a baby step toward the accomplishment of my next Big Project. I just tire myself out when I criticize, so I stop pretty quickly. I am taking on this reading habit really well, and I'm starting to mix in different things for one project, I am reading a book about emotional mastery to learn how to deal with people. I asked my mum to spend some time with her on Thursday so we can work on my article, hopefully this will lead to bigger, better things. Tiny Failure : Selling Myself Short I didn't bring up the article to my dad this morning. I didn't bring up the article to my mum when I came home tonight. I didn't bring up the article to my family when I was at the dinner table tonight. I keep procrastinating and being fearful, I keep making excuses. My lizard brain doesn't want me to do this. I'm scared. I'm hiding. It feels good to hide. On Thursday, my mum is going to come see me, I'll work with her. Right now, I make the 100% Commitment that I will spread the subject at the dinner table on Thursday night. No excuses. And I will tell mum that I will bring it up at the dinner table, and if I don't, she has too, this is more important than me. (notice the "than me", not "to me"). Habits Meditation : I don't know what I'm trying to keep track of here. Although now that I think about it, while I was reading "Taming Your Gremlin" by Rick Carson, I realised that I could do some Mindfulness Meditation someday. I do like the strong determination sitting combined with the Do Nothing technique, they work really well for me. Visualisation : I'm really good at visualising in general. I'm not beating myself up any more. And I am just good at visualising in general. I like that. Dinner : I'm criticizing less. I'm not just being frustrated about things all the time. And I am making baby steps toward making these relationships work, which is great. I can make that even better by not being too attached to whether or not they're doing personal development, also I can simply tell them that, even though I am terrible at showing it, they're really important to me, I "need" them.

Visioning : Complete Transparency Imagine what it would be like, if you and your close circles spent time regularly to talk to each other about what you want, why you want it, how you think you can accomplish it. Imagine how much more effective your work environment would be if you knew your own and your co-workers' values, strengths, life purposes, and goals. Imagine how great your relationships would be if you told people around you how you feel about them, and why you feel that way. Imagine asking them how they feel about you, and why they feel that way. Imagine what kind of conversation you would have. Today, I decided to do visioning about this, because I feel that this is the only way we can build lasting rapport to each other, not through mirroring our body language. So, tell me, what do you want ? Why do you want it ? How will you accomplish it ? Do you want my help ? I can see myself sitting in a circle with other people, and we would have serendipity going, we'd move each other, like a wheel that drives a car toward its ultimate destination. Imagine what it would be like if you actually knew and understood your friends' motives. Imagine if you clearly knew why you do what you do (go read some Tony Robbins' book on that if you need help, btw). The entirety of our relationships would be completely transformed if everybody engaged in those activities. Tiny Success : My Next Big Project So I am on track with creating my course, it's pretty much done at this point, in terms of thrashing I mean. I still need to be doing the final designs and the shooting of it. But it will be done quickly, momentum is built up, that's all I need. And so I decided to start doing the research for my next big project in my business : Dealing With People. It makes sense, most of my goals are mostly about relationships, and dealing with people. So I will definitely benefit from that. I remember a few months ago I didn't know which project I would be doing after the Creating Success one, turns out I had no issues. So this is great, I've got a whole 15-book list, and those are pretty lengthy so I'm going to have fun doing this. Tiny Failure : Conservatism I want to make things better with my family, and I decided that I would get their help with my Great People Manifesto. I thought I would bring this up at lunch. I didn't. Tomorrow morning, my dad will drive me to school, I'll bring it up then, in the car. Today at lunch, however, I did talk more than before, but it was mostly conservative, I didn't get out of my comfort zone. Tomorrow, in the car, I will. It'll be scary, but it'll be worth it. I've been extremely conservative, I must get out of my comfort zone more often than not. Habits Meditation : When I put my head against the wall, it gets hard for me to breathe. When I don't my neck and upper back hurt. I have to figure out a good way to sit. Visualisation : I did great today ! I visualised about getting and processing feedback on my work. But I was really in the moment, very few talking, mostly being in the scene, perceiving things. I was really great. Dinner : My sister is so dysfunctional. She's constantly making noise because she feels empty inside, she needs to feel important. Although tonight I truly practised Being-Cognition. She was there, being dysfunctional, and I didn't feel the need for my close circles to be doing Self-Actualization work. Some progress is being made here.

Visioning : Macro and Micro Change can only happen when we're able to chunk up and down. When I see the big picture of the change happening in my life, as well as what the changes in my day-to-day habits, I am able to change my life. When I think about the big picture, I like to go big, I like to see massive change, I like to see myself visioning the hell out, I like to see things that the people around me would call me ridiculous for thinking that this could actually happen. Imagine what it would be like if you went to see a group of people every day, and you guys spent a good hour just thinking about how great your life will be, later in the future. What kind of emotions you would feel, what kind of thoughts you would have, how connected you would feel to those people. And all of this of course motivates you to do great things right now, to take action right now. And you realise "Oh I have to do this right now ! And I have to plan for that other thing over there ! Right Now !". We would actually go through an emotional experience that changes us, helps us grow, transforms our selves, our lives. We'd be much, much more effective. We'd be like this iceberg, going down the Hudson river, it's clear where we're going, nobody can stop us. Join us ! It's a fun ride ! And think about Speed of Implementation, how amazing would it be if you could be quick at applying important things, right now ! It's like you have this idea and you just run to your lab to go do the work that you need to do now, because you figured it out ! Tiny Success : Social Intelligence Tonight, I said it out loud. I told my family "You can not talk.". It went into this whole emotional experience and my dad told me that I didn't talk. And it made me realise something. I don't talk because the stuff they talk about is bullshit. I can only talk about stuff that's important. I actually considered them not important at all. Social Intelligence is about making people feel important. Tomorrow, I'll give them my draft of the Great People Manifesto, and ask them their opinion on it. It'll make them feel important, and I'll initiate the conversation about living an extraordinary, and we'll grow together, because I'm not as high as I thought I was. Tiny Failure : Work I didn't work much today. During the afternoon, I had a period where I was like, "Dude ! Get to work !". And I didn't. Although tonight I did make some progress, I just started writing more about The Lazy High Achiever course, started to think about the presentation video for Udemy. I must work for school during the times where I don't want to work for my life purpose. I have two exams next week, didn't work on them today. I'll work on them tomorrow. There's not much work, just review the exercises, make sure I know how to solve them, and I'm all set. I need to start thinking about how I'm going to use my willpower muscle if I'm going to be working full time on my life purpose. Maybe I can meditate more, or read more. And definitely put in a habit of really focusing on my work, doing Deep Work. Habits Meditation : I think I fully put in place the micro-habit of checking my sitting position before stopping to move. That's great ! Visualisation : I've been really beating myself up over my performance in visualisation. I'm doing better than I give myself credit for. Congratulations to myself ! Dinner : The people around me finally had the guts to tell me what was wrong with me. I pretty much knew what the problem was and how to fix it. But I guess I needed someone to tell me that the problem was actually there, and that I needed to do something about it. See, they always expect stuff from the universe, and when I'm around them, I do the exact same thing. And tonight, the universe finally hit myself in the head and told me to take responsibility !

Visioning : Investors What do we do ? We look at the value of things. If we consider that they can get us a return high enough, we will put an initial investment that's going to pay us back much more in the long term. We invest our money, our time, our attention, our trust, our willpower, our ideas, our egos, our selves. It's simple, go through the hard part, then get compounded growth. Quit your bad habits, install powerful habits, keep investing resources on that, live an extraordinary life. The cycle of debt is simple, spend more now and spend less later. The cycle of saving is simple, spend less now, invest that money, to spend much, much more later. When we look at our lives, that's all we do, we keep saving and investing to get compounded growth. We invest in learning resources, in habits, in businesses, in relationships, in becoming more than we are. Look at your life and ask yourself, "Is the value of this higher than its price ?". Is smoking high-value-low-price ? Don't think so. Is a great book hvlp ? Definitely. We're investors, we own assets that bring us big returns, we go out of our way to get rid of liabilities. Investors who pay careful attention as to where they put their limited resources. Tiny Success : Work ! I made so much progress today ! I need to get my family's feedback on my article for Medium, but I can't give it to them in english, they wouldn't want to read it, so I translated it in french. And it was a great opportunity because it allowed me to make some adjustments to it. Translating is an art, you look at basically the same material, but from a different perspective, which helps you make changes that you wouldn't have seen otherwise. Tiny Failure : Reading After I was done translating, it probably would have been a good time for me to read, and then vision about what I read, which I usually do. But I went on YouTube and watched videos about money. I just forgot to read. When I have my business going fully, I will read one book every day. And I will brainstorm and vision about what I read, every day. For now, I just read as much as I can, and process the information as well as I can. Habits Meditation : When my chest is against the wall, I feel my heart beating, but not in a comfortable way. I don't like that. Visualisation : I'm slowly getting back on my feet in terms of Visualising performance, but I'm doing well. In today's visualisation I had a moment where I really emphasized on emotion, not action, got a real sense of what kind of fear I would feel, 20 years from now, when I host my own seminars. Dinner : We talked about interest rates and the economy. I came to an epiphany after dinner, negative interest rates are a form of tax. It's money out of your pocket, and into the biggest debt holders', aka. the government.

Visioning : Death Are you ready to die ? I'm not. I won't ever be. All I do, all we do, is being scared of death. Life is beautiful, we need more of it. We want to appreciate the sunlight, the colour of the sky, the amazing natural foods that we eat, the path that we're on, the tomorrow we dream up. And we need to stop making petty shit important, it's really not. We've only got one life, we don't restart at the beginning of the level when we die. We're just dead. And death could happen right now, a plane could come crashing in the building, as I'm writing these words. Imagine if everybody in the world was conscious of their death. We wouldn't ever be complaining that people around us are miserable. We would all join our forces together to create the most beautiful life this world's ever seen. I don't think any other species on the planet is able to have this level of consciousness, it's a pre-frontal cortex thing. When things go bad, go contemplate your death, it'll make you grounded again. It'll make you realise things. When you're unhappy with yourself, practice self-acceptance by contemplating your death, you'll start to love yourself again. Adversity doesn't exist. All paths lead to the same place, and that's death. Better choose something different than the path of least resistance, better enjoy the ride, go on a hilly ride, climb mountains, dive deep seas, go visit the East, and then the West, go North, than South. Remember that no matter where you go, or not go, you will always end up in the same place. If you move really far from where you are right now, you will discover Spiritual Enlightenment, and you will accept death. You won't fear it any more. You will start practising self acceptance, not by contemplating your death, but by showering all aspects of your personality with love. All of them, your criticizing self, your loving self, your over-eating self, your penis-driven self, your smart self, your contributing self, your visioning self. Life is beautiful, you are beautiful, death is inevitable, you need to do something about it. You, and only you, can grow yourself, and make your contribution. Don't piss your life away. Tiny Success : Researching A few days ago, I found my pace of reading. I am now embracing it. I find that I can read much faster now, and not just faster, but also smarter. I can read a book, get the main idea, integrate in my vision, and apply it in my life really easily. I've found my authenticity in reading, which in turn affected my self in researching. I am able to watch videos and listen to audio books in a way that is most effective to me. This is cool. Tiny Failure : Negativity I use up so much of my energy criticizing other people, it's incredible, I'm making myself tired. What are the best ways to overcome that obstacle ? I can read taming your gremlin, by Rick Carson, and apply this advice. I can practice love of the world and of myself. I can contemplate my own death. I can try to break the pattern, by pinching myself where it hurts when I'm doing it. I can practice Being Cognition, by seeing things done wrong and keep staring at them, not thinking any thoughts on them. I can occasionally do longer meditation sessions, say on the weekends. Habits Meditation : I wanted to poop at the end, it was hard not to move, but I didn't move, so that happened. Visualisation : I need to reground myself, I need to go back to the times where I really felt what was going on. I need to focus more on how I feel than on what's happening. The other day when I felt I was on the top of my game, that's what was happening. And that's what will be happening. Dinner : I cooked. It takes me 30 minutes to prepare and eat a meal. I now know that when I'll be lifting weights and eating 5 meals a day, it's going to take me 2h30 a day, that's a lot ! I'll figure out some way to save time. Not by meal prep though, you lose micro-nutrients.

Visioning : Laziness I'm lazy. Super Lazy. You know who else is lazy ? Other Warriors. We warriors believe that as long as we want something, have support to get it, then it will be easy for us to overcome the resistance, and to develop mastery. Put these four components together and you've got real laziness. We believe that willingness allows us to get detached from outcome. We believe that support helps us combine multiple people's "willingnesses" into one giant shared willingness. We believe that this provides leverage, so much leverage, which is the most powerful power we harvest. We believe that, over time, as mastery develops, our subconscious mind is able to undertake really complex tasks, which one more time, accounts for laziness. We believe that resistance allows even more detachment to the outcome, which creates even more laziness. That laziness is what allows us to thrive in the world, it enables us to achieve any goal that we want, it makes us dream up fantasies and make them our reality. It allows us to see truth, to see the world clearly, as it is. It is easy for us to see a better, more beautiful, tomorrow, and to create movements that pursue our pipe dreams. Because Yes ! Those Are Pipe Dreams ! Those Are Unrealistic ! But Yes ! They're Attainable ! We want to change the world, and we're too lazy about it for anyone to interfere, sorry. We're too patient. We're too willing. We're too supportive. No one can stop us, sorry. You need to embrace the change, it's much closer than you might think. I love the world, I always have, I love yesterday's world, and I'll love tomorrow's world. All of us warriors have this love as well, we're happy, that's all we have to say. We're gonna go smell the roses now, see you tomorrow. Tiny Success : Visioning I was really great at visioning tonight. I was able to detach my vision from what I read. A lot of people struggle to keep their creativity alive, they ask themselves "How do I keep my own voice ?". To those people I'd like to say, Do Visioning. You can vision about what you read, but do it also about what's on your mind, do it also when you haven't read anything. What you can do is you can combine what you read with your voice, this will create beautiful things. While we're on the subject of visioning, I feel like I have been much more authentic and inclined to create rituals in my life ever since I took up visioning, that's awesome ! (let me go apply it in my course). Tiny Failure : Physiology When I spend extended periods of time in the kitchen, my mind goes into hungry mode. It's been happening a lot recently. I wonder if I have to eat more. I can't afford to eat more... There's that, but there's also the whole being tired thing reoccurring. My physiology just doesn't sit right with me, I need to take action to solve this problem. From now on, I will deliberately say no when I tell myself that I'm hungry when in the kitchen. I am going to walk a lot more, so that energy flows in my body, and I can use this time to think great thoughts. I am going to sit right at school, even though the chairs are uncomfortable, I need to be present. Habits Meditation : I didn't sit right. I didn't care though. Visualisation : People can't visualise, or use any kind of 'positive psychology' technique in reaction to anxiety. I tried to visualise myself spending time with my family and feeling happy and loving them. I couldn't. It's impossible. Why ? Because I was reacting to pain. You can't use pleasure to go against pain, you can only use pleasure to go for pleasure. Period. Don't be reacting to things. You will not live life happily. Dinner : Tonight was about being. Not doing. Not talking. Just being. I told my little brother that when I look at what they say and what they do, all I see is "How to Fail at Life ?"

Visioning : Seeing Things Clearly How much would your life change, if you saw things clearly ? Orders of magnitude. Let me give you an example. If I wanted to make more money, I would invest what I have, because investing is the most lucrative activity possible. I wouldn't get a mortgage to buy a house and call that an asset, when it's a liability. I would go read books, so many books, amazing books, from world-class experts on investing, and I would learn what they teach me. I would spend time actively monitoring and regulating my behaviours to correct course and gain perspective. I would set a target for myself, by visioning what I could with all that money, and I would keep going until I consider this goal accomplished, and then move on. Learning is about seeing things clearly. Lives are transformed when a new idea, a new perspective, is inserted in people's world views. Awareness is the most powerful skill anyone can develop. We are blind, we've only had the internet for 15 years. 80 years from now, when I'm on my death bed, looking at my legacy, I'll see great things, I'll have so much more vision than right now. People will still be blind. We'll always be blind, there will always be so much more to see, that's what makes life worth looking at. Let's start by looking at the fundamental principles. Let's study the hell out of them. Let's try to understand how much they influence our entire world. Let's get into counter-intuitive mode. Tiny Success : Desire I want to do great work. I desire it. Fear is slowly coming down. It'll probably come back up, but still. I want to achieve great things, I want to work on my Lazy High Achiever course, I want to write my People Over Ideas manifesto, I just want to advance farther into my Life Purpose. I'm even considering plans for my next project ! I found a great work ethic, as well. I will be putting in place a habit of really focusing on my work in the future, but I'm really happy with where I'm at right now ! This is great ! Tiny Failure : Energy I had low energy today. I have been having low energy recently. I eat healthy, so it's cool, but I need to exercise. A few days ago, I decided that if I wanted to do it, I still could make time for it. Even if I put in place the working habit, I still could make time for it. But right now I have to figure out a way to keep my energy levels high without necessarily making too much time for it. I can do the grok squat and the hanging from a branch exercises, they'll put me in slightly more active state. Habits Meditation : I'm really detached as to what's happening in meditation, it's quite impressive. Visualisation : I was too linguistic. I need to make it more about the substance, not the words. Dinner : I tried to practice Being-cognition there, because I realised the entirety of my problems with these guys is the whole added-meaning thing. It's really hard, especially with them. I caught myself 3 times in a row falling back asleep and adding meaning to whatever they were saying. I know this is the only reason for why they don't self-actualize, their views on me are too biased

Visioning : Uniqueness I love the world. I love life. I love human beings. I love myself. And I love others. The world gave me a gift. It opened me up to a whole new level of consciousness, it helped me grow. It gave me Personal Development advice from world-class experts. It showed me the way to the happy life, the fulfilling life, the conscious life. I feel rich now, so rich that I want to give it to others. I want to help others. I want to help making the world an even better place, so that it can give even more gifts than it is right now. I feel authentic, and I want to contribute in the most authentic way. Which allows depth, in the expense of breadth. Hopefully, I will help someone who will reach the people that I can't reach, because his authenticity is not mine. This whole thing is bigger than ourselves, we can only help with three things, generosity, authenticity, and plurality. I can't do it alone, others already helped me, and are constantly helping me even more. I can only touch so many people, but I can touch them so deeply that it transforms their whole lives. That gift is the most beautiful gift you can possibly give to anyone ever. That gift is being given more and more, baby-stepping its way to changing the entire world. That gift is what was given to me, and what will be given to me consistently for the rest of my life. It is my duty to give it away to others, to the people that those who help me can't reach, to change this world. Love. Authenticity. Generosity. Growth. Happiness. Genius. Beautiful concepts, often overlooked, forgotten. Yesterday, people embodied their opposites (selfishness, compliance, fear, etc.). Tomorrow, they'll embody their magnified versions (large-heartedness, trustworthiness, assurance, etc.). Tiny Success : Speed of Implementation I now do things quickly. When I get advice that's great, I can easily apply it into my own life really quickly, which is awesome. Before, it was all in my head. Now, I'm making things happen. I'm shipping. "I ship" is one of my current affirmations, I add an image with it, which is me throwing something out there in the world, over and over again. It's surprising me that it already affects my life even though I've only been doing this for less than 20 days when I generally do 90 days of affirmations before moving on. This is probably reinforced with the constant "I must make better use of my time" that's been happening recently in the journal. I can see that those habits are helping me greatly in achieving my goals, which is the whole point of the course I'm creating. Tiny Failure : Sex, Lack of Work, and Bad Habits Tonight was all about sex. I got home, ate lunch because I hadn't prepared it yesterday to bring to school today, hence I had to do it tonight at 5:30. Then, I went up the stairs and got to my bedroom. At that moment, I felt a great envy toward sex. I decided I'd visualise about sex. I meditated then did visualising, about sex. Then I slacked off and didn't do any kind of work, just thought about stuff. Then I ate dinner with my family, and then watched porn for 30 minutes (which is way too long). And now I'm journalling. I realise that, ever since I quit TV, my internet browsing time has increased, and my porn watching frequency has increased. I originally decided I would listen to music instead of TV, and frankly I haven't been doing that. So from now on, I will listen to music or do great work, or do research (as in reading). No exceptions. Habits Meditation : At the end of meditation, I don't like moving. Since I hadn't been moving for 30 minutes, I just don't want to move any more. Visualisation : I can use the 5-minute contemplation part to think about my article or my course, or whatever small project I have right now, which is definitely a great use of that time. Then I can implement things easily and quickly. It's like free work. Cool. Dinner : My dad wants to avoid negativity at all costs, and he's doing the worst in my world at it, it's quite impressive. I can see how people who desire reducing tension and anxiety fail at doing great things in their lives, because they sell themselves short.

Visioning : Goals A Goal is a great idea. A Goal is not a desire. A desire is small, a goal is big. "I'd like to lose weight" is a desire, "I want to achieve great health, have enormous amounts of energy, and have a body that looks amazing" is a goal. A desire is about getting, a goal is about giving. "I want to be rich" is not a goal, "I want to start and grow my own business and have a real big impact on the world" is a goal. A desire is vague, a Goal is adaptable. "I want to feel respected" is a desire, "I want to have high amounts of self-esteem is a goal". A desire is mostly about reducing tension and anxiety, a Goal is about creating a lot of pleasures. "I want people to like me" is a desire, "I want to become really confident in social situations" is a goal. Goals have tremendous amounts of power, with the right ones, we can transform ourselves, we can change the world. Goals are what fuel us to live our life, Goals make us extraordinary. Goals are human, other species only have desires. Goals inspire action, Goals give us a reason to get out of bed in the morning. But goals are hard to harvest, we're only working toward our goals for half of our day, the other half, we just stop and smell the roses. Tiny Success : Dealing with the Resistance I both did school work and great work today. By great work I mean writing my article. I had a bunch of great ideas for what I'm going to do next, namely read a bunch of biographies of great people throughout history and do something from that and call my course "The Lazy High Achiever" and put a whole laziness approach to the material. I even did a little bit of work on the course, which was awesome. To top it all off, I was able to maintain a good use of my time and limited willpower today. I did spend some time not really working, but it worked well in general. That was a Good, Productive Day. Tiny Failure : Not admitting defeat Recently, I've been telling myself that I didn't want to beat myself up for what I did wrong, and hence, not mention it in the Tiny Failure section of the journal. But see, I failed to see the line between not beating myself up and acknowledging. The Tiny Failure section of the course is not about beating myself up, but simply acknowledging the fact that this wasn't the best performance I could possibly give out. Even if I were at 99% performance, I would still acknowledge that I'm not at 100%. Acknowledging is simply saying, beating myself up adds meaning. The Lazy High Achiever doesn't beats himself up, he acknowledges. I make the 100% commitment to acknowledge it when I'm not at my best. Today I procrastinated a bit on school work, and on course work, and on article work. Habits Meditation : I committed to doing meditation and visualisation right when I come home from school during the week, and right when I wake up when I don't go to school. I realised it's important to set the record straight, it allows me to do great work more easily that way. Visualisation : Originally, I thought I had to read before visualising, because that way I could visualise about what I read. I realised then that most of what I read can be talked about and applied, but not really visualised. So I'm going to stick with visualisation before reading. By the way, I visualised about me attending a seminar, it was definitely interesting. Dinner : They always eat pizza on Sunday evenings. Tonight I realised they could at least buy something for me to eat, like a steak or something.

Visioning : Good Doing good. Simple idea, powerful idea. Doing good brings happiness. Growth & Contribution are two of the most powerful happy pills you can ever get. We're hard-wired that way. Whenever you're undertaking any project, whether professional or personal, the willingness to do good with it brings it into a whole new level. Instead of simply building muscle, you're helping your body become the best version of what it can possibly be and then, you can inspire others to do it as well, and you can do a lot of other things. Doing good helps you ground yourself in your higher self. The Lower Self is always looking for shortcuts and doesn't care how much shit it's doing to the world, the higher self ultimately only cares about the world, and Life. Doing good is your responsibility, you can always choose to be doing the bad things, but as soon as you commit not to do bad shit and do good instead, you'll only do good in the world. Doing good makes you good people. And people value people over anything else. People are driving this world to where it's ultimately going, but not the ones that do bad shit, only the ones that contribute, those have the power now, we're turning green (spiral dynamics). But it's not just about doing good, it's about being good. Once you are good, you are happy, you are grounded in your higher self, you are responsible, you are good people. And, step by step, one person after another, the world becomes good. And we are all happy, we are all grounded in our higher self, we are all responsible, and we are all good people. Imagine how much growth this world can still go through, there's no number, it's just infinity. We can all start today, by doing one small good action. Tiny Success : Limited Willpower I got up at 8, had breakfast, showered, meditated, and did visualising until 9:30. It's the morning routine I had envisioned yesterday, except I woke up an hour late. What's great about this is that, actually, I spent time writing my article today, I did a great job, I know there are still some flaws, and I know I will correct them soon enough. Today's success was the realisation that I don't have an unlimited amount of willpower, I'm already quitting both TV and caffeine. And I'm also putting in place this new Journalling habit. All of this is already a lot to take on, I am able to manage my limited willpower to cut myself some slack in all other areas. Recently I've been taking those changes for granted, that's what held me back. Tiny Failure : School I'm currently going through exams at school, which means doing a few exercises at home to prepare for the test. Today, I didn't. I usually do, but today I was kinda lazy. This probably comes from the fact that I used my willpower not to do that, but to do the great work I want to do. Tomorrow, I'll prioritise school over work. Even though I have no intention to excel at school, I still need this situation to be average, it'll give me short-term security, which will allow me to work on scary great things on the side. I love how I handle life. Habits Meditation : I realised that meditation allows me to manage willpower like fuck. I can do massive changes of habits in my life in the blink of an eye with this. This Is Awesome ! Visualisation : I did it this morning, which was the first time ever in the morning. It was interesting. I visualised about speaking in an interview and then on stage. Dinner : This afternoon, I thought about how my family members are so full of shit. They reject everything I do, have false assumptions, make me sick in so many ways, mainly because they're not willing to admit to themselves that they're full of shit. It made me angry, tonight at dinner I tried really hard to keep my mouth shut when I so wanted to.

Visioning : Habits I would get up in the morning at 7, cook and eat breakfast, take a cold shower, meditate, do visualising, read and do visioning. I would then eat lunch. then I would work on my projects, then I would read and answer comments and emails. Then I would go exercise, and then eat dinner. Then I would journal. And eventually go to sleep, at 10. That would be a routine, but it could, and probably will be, something else. Habits are the secret to accomplish anything in life. Have a habit of doing the things you need to do. Period. But a habit is more than that, it's an expression of who you really are, habits are like clothes for the mind. On the quest of becoming your true authentic self, your habits change. Sometimes even your entire way of life changes, those are called mid-life crises. Habits get you off the hook. Habits create 100% Commitment. Habits shape systems. Systems work toward goals. The more powerful the habit, the bigger the system, the more compelling the goal. Habits are like the government and the regulations of your mind. Mastering the skill of moving habits around is something critical if you want to be happy. Habits create Mastery, over time. Play a game for 10 years and you become a world class expert at it. Study Personal Development for 10 years and you become a world class expert at life. Happiness comes from habits. Passion comes from habits. Productivity comes from habits. Persuasion comes from habits. Any state of mind comes from habits. Tiny Success : Physiology Management I could have worked this afternoon. But I was too tired. I took a nap. After the nap, I could have worked, but I was too tired. I watched the documentary called "Food, Inc.", which revealed a lot about conventional factory-farming. My point is, I didn't beat myself because I was too tired. I didn't try to work when I was in no physical shape to work. This of course happened because I didn't sleep enough last night. I'm going to sleep earlier tonight, tomorrow I'll have plenty of energy for the work I want to do. The fact that I allowed this to happen without resistance is what shows emotional intelligence, and that's critical. "Do I want some coffee ? No, I don't drink coffee." Tiny Failure : I failed to fulfil a promise I had made to myself When I got home today at 1, I promised myself I would work on my article. I didn't. I was too tired. I could have at least done a little, but I didn't. I just didn't. If I want to succeed in fulfilling my life purpose, I must put in place a habit of working on my current projects every day, no excuses. It'll happen soon enough. Still. This is the same failure that has been happening recently. I don't make good use of my time. If I want to succeed in fulfilling my life purpose, I must put in place a habit of working on my current projects every day ! Why don't I make good use of my time ? Because of the Resistance. The next book I'm going to read is The War of Art, by Steven Pressfield. Habits Meditation : I almost fell asleep. I was sitting cross-legged, so I didn't fall asleep. But I was so tired that I almost did. Visualisation : I was on the top of my game tonight ! That was Awesome ! I simply imagined what kind of emotions I would feel when I would do all the good habits I'm going to put in place. And it was amazing ! I even felt the cold shower in me. That felt amazing. Dinner : So we had this confirmation of conflicting agendas tonight. I say something, a bunch of people try to prevent the challenge of the status quo. Conflicting agendas, that's all. I notice that most of the things I say in there are mostly things I've been running around in my mind when I don't talk. They just come out. Things I could have said earlier, and then an opportunity comes in and makes me say it anyway. I wonder what I need to do for this.

Visioning : Honesty Honesty is perhaps the most powerful skill anyone can ever have. It's got to be developed. You do it every time you learn about life, accept it as true, verify it for yourself, and eventually start telling this truth to others (it goes full circle, in a sense). I think that completing each step takes time, first you start learning about life, then you start accepting it true, then you start verifying whether what you learn actually is true (you take action), and eventually you help others in their life mastery process. Honesty creates trust, what every marketer is after (along with attention, obviously). Honesty helps to give and receive feedback (thank god !). Honesty + Time = Promise, making a promise and actually following through on it is one of the biggest joys you can experience. Honesty makes people happy, honesty comes from the higher self, lying comes from the lower self. Honesty creates amazing relationships between individuals. It just does. Honesty creates emotional mastery, if you're constantly lying to yourself, you are miserable. Honesty helps you master any skill, because as soon as you are completely honest about your level of mastery in a certain skill, you can start addressing the issue easily. Tiny Success : Emotional Mastery I am able to stir up any emotion that I want in myself. I can make myself feel happy, I can make myself cry, I can make myself feel whatever I want ! Today was my grandpa's funeral, I wasn't particularly sad, though contemplating death definitely motivated me to live a charged life, but I was really able to, not make myself cry, just feel sadness and embody it. I guess a good part of it comes from empathy for the people around me, but still. If I had learned that, along the journey of life mastery, you could decide to feel whatever you want to feel, I would have been much more motivated, for sure. Tiny Failure : Time At this point, I would just copy and paste an old one. I'm doing this so that my subconscious mind really understands the whole point, repetition is the mother of all skill. So, since it was my grandpa's funeral, I didn't go to school today, and hence had time. I woke up at the usual hour, and just did my morning routine like usual, then I meditated, which I don't generally do because I go to school. And at this point I asked myself "Do I do visualising now or tonight ?" And I chose to do it tonight. I must have done it this morning. Because I got home late, and now I'm tired. Also, I could have worked on my article, but didn't, because of fear. I must listen to that fear. Habits Meditation : I've been doing this for so long, there's no need for conscious self-regulation on it. Visualisation : I am getting back on track with high performance for this one. I was able to make myself feel happy things. Dinner : Nothing happened tonight, I was just with my brother and my grandma.

Visioning : Being at your best What if all 7 billion people on the planet woke up everyday being determined to be at their best that day ? The amount of value that this world would receive on a consistent basis would be enormous. We would be extremely productive results making machines ! At 9:45 pm everyday, the things I would write in the "Tiny Success" section wouldn't be so tiny, and the things I would write in the "Tiny Failure" section would definitely be so tiny. I'd go hit the park at times, just to chill, and right there I would see some amazing things getting done. They say that innovation is inevitable once you get to the edge, it is true, there would be a lot of innovation in the world. People would achieve massive things all the time. But most importantly, we'd be proud of ourselves, we'd feel that sense of flow that we all get when we're being at our best. We'd spend a lot of time contemplating ourselves, and the world, just being. We'd feel confident, we'd feel humility, we'd feel happiness, we'd feel fulfilment, we'd feel like laughing at times, we would love, we'd have Peace of Mind, the kind that accepts unresourceful emotions, we'd regularly get into flow state experiences, like focus, or lovemaking. We'd have weird idiosyncratic rituals for our routines, we'd have certain specific habits, and then certain processes for our habits. We wouldn't care so much about petty stuff, in fact, it would be all gone. Our brain works from the next level when we're at our best. Tiny Success : Subconscious Mind I realize that I really have to go through the day in my mind to find something to write about in the Tiny Success part of the journal. My subconscious mind, though, is really good at identifying the thing that I want, once I get close enough. Tonight, I got home a little late, I had very few time but I did review my article, trying to make some adjustments to it. Since I didn't have time, I simply put some comments about it, just to get my mind rolling. My subconscious mind is doing a great job getting around this idea, I know I will produce something amazing, and I have more than two weeks left. Tiny Failure : Self Acceptance I went to sleep too late last night. This morning, when the alarm rang, I was lazy and I stayed in it for a while. I've been struggling with this quite a bit, I love myself for it. I've been a little overeating recently, it's a bad habit that I do want to break, I love that part of me that eats too much. I've been too attached to needing my family to do personal development, I love that part of me that needs other people to do personal development. I've been struggling with finding things to write about in the Tiny Failure section, I love that part of me that ignores all the bad shit I do every day. Habits Meditation : Though I wasn't in the exact same position as yesterday, I still loved how I was sitting, I want this to stay that way. Visualisation : I did visualise about me being at my best and I found a good ritual. I will read the way I described earlier, then I will take a piece of paper and write the main ideas I got from the chapter I read, I'll also combine them with other stuff (existing material). Then I will make my visioning about those ideas, and I will visualise them. And that will be it. Dinner : As usual, I state a basic, simple opinion, and I get 3 people all amplifying its basic, simple meaning into something that it is not, and respond accordingly. But this was fun ! We should do this again, soon !

Visioning : A Typical Day Rising would happen at 7. There would be breakfast, a high protein breakfast, some green juice, and some cherries, Mmmmh. Following this would be a cold shower, one of those that really wakes you up, gets your body ready to start the day. Then, a looong meditation. And then the morning routine would be wrapped up by planning the day, what you have to do to advance in your different projects, your interactions with other people. And then, chunk of time after chunk of time, the day passes. Resourceful emotions follow unresourceful ones. Progress is made, obstacles are hit, strategic behaviour is applied. A lot of time is spent reading, and highlighting amazing quotes. Authenticity transpires, everything we do reflects who we really are. At times, we contemplate on what we've accomplished, we feel proud, this kind of pride with a sense of humility to it. From the inside, this day is amazing, when outsiders look at it, it seems pretty dull. Because we spend most of our time really just being, and appreciating the being, appreciating life, loving the world, making a beautiful change to it, contributing, out of plain generosity. Plain and pure generosity. The kind you see rarely, because most people think it's okay to be selfish, (wrong !). Tiny Success : Reading I finally sat down and asked myself : "Okay, so how do I read the best way possible ?". Okay that's not true I didn't ask myself this, it's just that I recently learned about Tai Lopez's pace of reading, and also Seth Godin's, so it inspired me to actually set my own pace. "Everything has already been done, just not by you." -- Liz Gilbert. I found that if I read the first phrase of each paragraph, I can have a sense of what the rest is going to be like, and hence, I can skip the paragraphs I don't want to read and focus on the best ones. I'll highlight the quotes I love the most, and this will be how I do things. Then, I think about what I read, I add it into my own vision, I "copy, transform, combine" -- Kirby Ferguson. Tiny Failure : Failure to Work I had finished school at 2:30, got home at 4. Which meant 2 whole hours I could have been doing important work, then I do all the good habits I've put in place. I could have been working, but I did not. Just slacked off. This behaviour, if repeated consistently over long periods of time will lead to ultimate failure to fulfil my life purpose. I must stop. In today's visioning, I had the idea to plan out the day before it even gets started, that way, I can be proactive all throughout the day. I must plan out the day's activities in advance. That behaviour, if repeated consistently over long periods of time will lead to ultimate success in fulfilling my life purpose. No more slacking off, Take 100% responsibility over your time. Habits Meditation : I have found the best way possible to sit during meditation. It just happened, spontaneously. I make a 100% commitment to sitting like that every time I meditate. Visualisation : I was distracted. There was a period of time where I just loved visualising stuff, I would feel emotions, I would get a real sense of the scenery, I would love it. Tonight was not like that. Tomorrow will be like that. I'll spend some time just focusing my mind on the task at hand. Dinner : My dad is miserable. I don't hate that, I don't love that, I don't anything that. He just is miserable. I did see this as an opportunity to embark him on this journey of personal development. Simply noticed, nothing else. My family did just contemplate death recently, I'm going to have much more results from my personal development. Patience, Chips will fall where they may. *Big smile on my face*.

Visioning : Growth "I discovered this guy on Medium, he had written an article about True Learning and Teaching. I just fell in love with what he said there. He had caught both my attention and my trust, at the same time. I started following him, I started to read his journal, it's so interesting to get inside his head like this, after a while, I started thinking, feeling, and behaving like him, this was cool. Eventually, I started buying his courses on Udemy, and man, I completely changed my life with those, they were packed with wisdom. I started changing my habits, real change was happening in my life. I started and grew my own business, got to change the world, started living congruently with my life purpose, I loved it. Then, I went to one of his seminars, and that..was..just..amazing. My whole life got transformed, thanks to him, and everybody else." -- Andrew. Andrew is one of my star student, he's making a huge contribution to this world, he's perhaps the most generous human being I have ever met. He grew so much. So many others have grown amazingly as well, I did in fact predict this, but still, it's impressive (for lack of a better word). I guess I'm the one who grew the most, they say "The book that changes you the most is the one you write", I can vouch for that *Giant Smile* *Laughing* *Happiness*. This whole world has grown, thanks to so much people's making successful attempts at growing it. Tiny Success : Driving Myself Toward My Goals Today was one of those days where I just made progress toward my goals. This is the quick spurt of progress from the Mastery process. The next plateau is going to come soon. I wonder what it's going to be like. I did do some adjusting of the draft of the article I'm writing. It's better now. I'm still pretty bad at writing these, maybe I can do some basic research about how I can do better, without making it to robotic and without personality, of course. I feel good about this leaning in attitude. It's healthy. Also I didn't browbeat myself too much about my imperfections, on the contrary, I practised Self-Acceptance, I didn't block myself away from my goals. Also, I found a really good reading mechanism, it works really well for me. Tiny Failure : I was really hungry today I wouldn't call it a failure. I didn't criticize myself too much. Sorry, let me rephrase. I didn't criticize myself at all for it. Hence, it didn't drive me away from my goals. Let me put myself into the head of my lower self : "Gnahahaha, he's gotten too much sugar today, he's going to be hungry tomorrow, and then again too much sugar, and it'll keep going on forever, and he won't the work that kills him, and I'll get to criticize him over and over again. He doesn't see that I'm superior to him, this is why he's inferior. Also I'll criticize his article, his visualising, his meditation, and his whole personal development journey. That way, he'll go back to eating the right food, hating the world and himself, playing video games, and eventually he'll get depressed, and it'll be this whole party in here again. Yay !!!" Habits Meditation : Nothing real is happening here. Visualisation : I just visualised what a typical day would look like once I'm really congruent with my life purpose. I imagined myself overcoming resistance by sitting in a room, with nothing but a comfortable chair, a desk, a hardback journal, a pen, and a timer. I spent 8 hours just sitting there doing nothing, then I wrote for 8 hours. Fell asleep, woke up later, and was super productive, did amazing work, loved doing it. Dinner : I cooked. But it wasn't an issue for me, I had already done all the good habits, just ate late, but I'm fine.

Visioning : Authentic What would happen if everybody achieved high levels of congruence with their authentic self ? I think people would see their work differently. Imagine organisations that are made up of people who are exactly where they are supposed to be, because that's where they feel most authentic. You don't have to be an entrepreneur or a corporate executive, you don't have to drive your company. You can just be important inside the organisation, and that's cool ! I also think people would go about achieving their goals completely differently. We wouldn't procrastinate that much for sure, we wouldn't fear, we would never ever try to find a detailed how-to guide. We would just dream up visions and deal with day-to-day obstacles, and that's it, we would achieve our goals. We'd spend a lot of time doing nothing. Just Being. Contemplating our selves (not just ourselves, but our selves). Stopping to smell the roses. I think there's this balance that can be achieved, it's really tricky, and the only way to get there is through listening to your heart, being yourself. A good balance between doing and being is the key to happiness. It just is. People who are constantly trying to achieve more and more are unhappy. People who can't achieve anything because they're always looking for a formula to achieve are unhappy. In our society, it's impossible to just sit down and do nothing all day, you need money to live. But you can find that balance, and you can be authentic to achieve everything that you want, and have lots of time to be happy. This is cool. The best relationships happen between two people who are authentic to themselves. We're not trying to get anything from each other when we're authentic, on the contrary, we're always trying to give more and more, give the best that we can possibly give. Imagine weird products and services and companies and leaders, they are the ones we're looking for, they're the best in the world. Tiny Success : I actually sat down and did the work The biggest obstacle I've been facing recently is simple. I've been ignoring fear. And I've been ignoring this obstacle. I didn't actually sat down and did the work. Why ? Because I lied to myself. I thought I was actually doing work when I wasn't. Well, today, my grandpa died. I contemplated death, and it was a wake up call. I wasn't actually doing the work. And I did. And it was awesome. I Felt Amazing ! I'm going to do this Everyday ! Everyday, I'm going to spend time doing it, even if it's just 10 minutes, it'll be enough. This will be the next habit I'm going to put in place, at the end of this 90-day cycle. I'm so proud of me ! I don't know why I was afraid. Right now, I'm just going to work as soon as I have time to do it, even if it's just 10 minutes. Tiny Failure : Can't come up with a Tiny Failure I can not come up with a Tiny Failure. I'm looking back at my day, and I can't think of anything that would be considered a failure. I do have some ideas, but I don't want to be too hard on myself, I'm just going to list them out. I did drink a little too much herbal infusions (four, that's a lot !), I did not publish the article I wrote, I still want to polish it for a while, I just haven't set a specific shipping date, which is a problem. You know what, here's the tiny failure : I have been lacking shipping discipline. I do not ever set specific shipping dates. Here it goes, On Day 120 of the Calendar, I will ship the manifesto on Medium. On August 1st, I will publish my course on Udemy. Habits Meditation : Makes me happy. I want to do it for 1h a day. Just don't have the time because of school. I realise I sound like a victim here, don't worry. I know that if I want to meditate for 1h/day, I can do it. I just decided to work on my life purpose when I come home rather than meditation. It's a trade-off. Visualisation : I contemplated my Me Sheet with more engagement today. I talked and put positive emotions, this was amazing. I visualised about me actually sitting down and doing the work, but right now, in my bedroom, on my current project, this was so smart ! Dinner : They're still eating pizza on Sunday nights, why aren't they becoming the best that they can be ? I don't care.

Visioning : Failure I love failing. What happens when you take the basic fail-->learn from your failure feedback loop to its maximum ? You get people who go and do something that they know they can't do. They know they can't do it, and yet, they're here, failing. There's no way around fear, you can't think yourself out of it, you can't outsmart fear, but you can out-fear fear. See, fear is about imagining crazy scenarios where your whole life gets destroyed. Failing is about actually going through a scenario that starts the same, but certainly doesn't end the same. I want to create an environment where people are actually afraid of losing motivation, afraid of not trying, afraid of being afraid (get it ?). In such an environment, people would not only win at life, they would be much more regulating themselves, disciplining themselves, looking out for themselves. As soon as you set yourself up for failure, then of course you do your best. I can see myself in the mirror every morning and say "I'm going to fail today !", feeling happy, and exhibiting the body language associated with victory. I can see other people telling me "I can never get a woman like that in a million years", and then going there and talking to her, being super-confident. Because at this point, there's nothing to lose, you literally cannot lose, it's impossible, you're the worst guy possible. YOU SUCK. You don't know shit, there's really no point in thinking about anything, because your thinking doesn't work, you don't work. You know they say don't take your mistakes personally, I say they're wrong ! Of course you take them personally, it's your job to be awesome, but right now you suck. Period. So what if you suck, of course you suck, you haven't studied, you haven't learned, you don't become awesome overnight ! Tiny Success : Mental Health My psychology, my behaviours, my thoughts, my feelings, the emotions that I feel, my EQ, they're just good ! *Smiles*. I just love myself, other people, the world, life. It's calm, it's peaceful, it's contemplative, you are so fucking resourceful from this place. I'm on the upper part of the cycle, it's going to go down again pretty soon, but still, this is cool. Tiny Failure : Time I'm failing time over and over and over again, and over again. I worked well overall, but I didn't do my visualising at the right time. Right now, as I'm writing this, its 10:10 pm and I haven't done it yet. I'm getting tired right now. I'll do it after this, before I fill out the Habits section. I really need to figure out what that is for me, I need to go fix that problem at the source. I think I need to spend time, right from the morning, just visioning, under a good shower. This will really help out get the day started. And then I plan things that I need to do with the time that I have. Habits Meditation : It helps me be much more contemplative of the world and myself, I like that. Visualisation : Was extremely distracted ! I can't focus when I'm so tired ! Although I did force myself to do my best despite what, which was something I used to flake on in the past, but not any more. Dinner : Nothing in particular made some kind of change. It was neutral. Not bringing me anywhere. Just plain idleness. This is good.

@Neill Dude ! That's Awesome ! I remember when I first started to go to college, I hadn't cooked anything ever. And I needed to start doing that. You can probably start building EatSimply for your local college and go market it to these guys, it's probably a profitable niche, and it's a good way to start, to see how it unfolds, starting small.

Visioning : Visioning When someone puts a lot of conscious effort and focus on crafting the most compelling idea of what the future could be like for himself. When they get to the point where they're actually willing to put their life one the line to have it realised. When they go off and tell their friends about it. When their friends adopt it right away. When their friends are also willing to put their life on the line for it. When that groups goes off and start to work to have it realised. When there's friction. When there's resistance. And then more resistance. And then the groups sits down together everyday for an hour and does visioning. When every body in the group goes and gathers the needed resources for the mission to be accomplished. When that happens. That one group impacts two others, which grows to four, then eight, then sixteen, then thirty-two. Until the whole world is changed, and everybody does this (even the small minority of black old girls in Tasmania). What would life be like if that were the case ? How would we feel on a daily basis ? How would we look at the world differently ? What would you do in this world ? I'd call it a night. I'd say I'm done. I realised my vision. I'd retire. And I'd go learn from other people. And I'd keep doing it. I can never stop it. Ever. I would create a group of people that helps other groups do their visioning and realise them. And I'd do it myself, simply being part of the group, being my own leader and follower, like everybody else in the group. Tiny Success : Love I've realised that forcing myself to write the tiny success section for five minutes and not less is smarter because it reinforces the positive behaviour the most, so that's cool. But anyway, I was in my bed, reading a book (Do You -- Russell Simmons), my little siblings get into a yelling argument. I can't read any more. When it ends, I go give love to my brother, give him a hug, talk it through. I'm proud of that, it builds rapport. Also, I realised that Love really is the only way of dealing with people. You don't yell to change someone's behaviour. You tell them you love them. Step N°1 for Great Leadership is Love Your World ! Tiny Failure : Time This is the second time I'm writing about this but still, I do make a bad use of my free time ! I didn't watch TV, but I did watch porn, and watched a few videos with Seth Godin in them, a little too much. I didn't read as much as I could have. I really need to plan out exactly what is it that is the best way I can use my time if I don't want bad shit to happen. Tomorrow, I will be doing school work to fill up the "free" time. You know, being on the subject of tiny failures, I realise that it's a really powerful way to quit doing bad shit, because you write about it, every day, over and over and over again. Habits Meditation : I was in the worst position I could have ever imagined. Which was perfect ! I realised that the position didn't matter, my view on it did ! I felt so deep into meditation today ! This was Awesome. Visualisation : I realised that I get a lot of value from my small 5-minute contemplation exercise. I remember yesterday I had the idea of creating a Trade Journal for Personal Development. Now that I think about it I could easily make it for my group. This was Cool ! Dinner : My sister got really angry at my brother. She's hiding stuff from people. She's weak. Good. The weaker she gets, the easier it's going to be to help her start (and never finish) Personal Development. Dammit, I don't have any time left.
