Hey, I have this problem as well. I choosed the one big thing, that will impact my life the most, and I have 2 side goals that will support my vision and my primary goal. But the ladder 2 are not as much on the focus. The diffculty kicks in if you strieve to stick for it for any significant time AND want to see results. This where I struggle big. Think about what is lucrative and what you enjoy. Also think about basic things like how to pay the bills down the road. Peace

There are no special tips besides what you already wrote: Don't skip exercises, learn systematic and find a good mentor. I know from my own practice that it can be hard to stay on track all the time, but notice it is better to do it 6 days a week than 1 day a month. See: A lot of people try to motivate themselves by setting extreme standards: 'I do this every day for 3 hours straight, no Break! I gonna be the BEST!!!' So they sprint ahead to fall behind quickly because they give no rest to their mind and body - and then they tend to drop out. As a student you have the task to balance between work and rest - but so that you don't kid yourself and be like 'aaah one hour of practice is still ok this week because work was so intense'.

I think lot of people get the teachings 'wrong' like the OP. Nothing is applicable for everyone to the same degree. Many people here seem to dedicate themself to spirituality just to realise that they skipped stages. Sad but true: One has to be extra conscious with the major decisions in ones own life instead of following the leader wherever he says. @stretch cool that you are brave enough to talk about that. I think its a big problem with intermediate Students

- Deciding to not care about anything and pass everything in school or university slightly about average while doing very little work - smoke Weed almost every day from 19 to 22 - thought that I was not smart at all, because everyone thought other than me.. in fact my heuristics are pretty neat and a lot of people are rather sloppy

After learning for some hours I went out to get some sunlight. Even though Corona is there, I saw are a lot of beggars, junkies and deposit collectors (we in Germany have deposit on bottles and cans, so poor people collect the bottle in the trash or on the street to earn a little money). I realized that they a. have no other choice than to hustle and b. they are not conscious enough to prepare (even if they have at least some money) because they have been survival mode 24/7 like forever. I thought about what is likely to happen to the poor and weak if my Considerations will turn out true, namely that we will face a major global crisis due to our sick financial-political-corporate corrupt system. Everyone will have less money. I think that a lot of the poor will struggle hard but stay calm (because they sadly believe they can't make a difference whatsoever) and wait for the state to help them out. But a significant minority will turn to crime to survive - which is quite understandable but not a good perspective. This will fuel a 'Law & Order' Mentality, which has very poor Outcomes. Just look at the incarnation incarceration-rate in the US after the Reagan Administration (I believe) in a 30 year chart. There are more people in jail than EVER before.. War on Drugs.. you gotta kidding me.. it ain't working. But some people will strongly believe this and will advocate this if we face a lot of crime. What I ask you: What can one do to make it better for the poor? This is one thing which will determine to some degree if society x will turn to a more conscious state or regress into us versus them. So it is highly significant. As the Title says: Blue or Green.

Right, RendHeaven. I wanted to post about the same thing. You have to discuss deeply to see if someone is yellow. It is likely that they want to hear as much views as possible without labeling them as good or bad. But! Thats only if they can do it because: ...in normal life it'll be expected to judge quickly

Maybe, but also many people think that. That means IF you get through to some key people its easier. Dude, I know what you feel. My goal is to get to a point where I'm skilled enough so that I don't have to play along with this bullshit.

@brugluiz On the one Hand is UBI a great Idea, but on the other hand problematic. Great: Everyone has Food, Shelter and a lttile more materialistic luxus. You can't get blackmailed with your job. Problematic: Inflation of prices over time, thus UBI is the new 0. For some people it'll be better to live on UBI than to work and pursue higher Ideals. Someone has to earn it. You have to have strict Immigration Laws or anyone comes in your country. Education, Ruthlessness, Mastery and Heritagw will be the new devider (it is already, but we meausure with money)

@Average Investor Thanks again. I have a vacation for 2 weeks beginning friday evening. I'll refresh, plan, learn and meditate and spend quite a bit of time to research into this kind of side hustle. After that time I'll know if I do it and if yes what I want to sell specificly. That's the plan. I'll report then because I don't want to go Online to the forum in that period of time(too distracting;) )

@Hardkill What is your qualification? You need no special Oneliner or so, just go and ask them. Go to new stores and ask no matter if they said they search employees. Maybe you think about why you need that job and tell them that. Sometimes you need to be very persistent (like waiting 1 hour to get to the manager or apply for 15 more jobs). With Corona it is unlikely to get a job, but after that it's, like someone here said, just a mindset issues. You can do it!

There are many things you can do. I send you a short list with book recommendations. - I would recommend also that you learn HTML, CSS and a little Javascript, so that you can build your own Website to learn (if you don't already did this). - Learn Python; I don't know it yet, but many masters think this is one of the best languages for beginners - use BASH / Powershell / Command Prompt (there are plenty Tutorials, just google them)

@StarStruck Sounds great to me! Just be sure to watch your health, my friend. It's not easy in the Industry.

@Chumbimba thanks for the recognition, how are you doing? Let me answer that from my perspective as a software developer (and with colleagues who are consultants) one can be as stressful as the other you experience lots of time where you feel stupid and nothing works in both area consultants tend to be more social, but don't trick yourself: you are dealing thing shy unsocial programmers, the customer and a generally a shit ton of people ==> that's hard work and you are constantly fighting to get your work recognitioned But you are right that you can learn programming afterwards. I would say it is a subjective decision. But here in Europe you don't need even a degree to get a okay job, and then you can work your way up to 40, 50, 60 or more thousand a year. I don't know what it is like in us-america

@Average Investor Thanks a lot. I focussed on Programming for 2 years 100 % and now is room to build a second income source. The Danger is that you code 12 hours every day (I like beeing on the computer) and health and conscious work tends to go down. For 6 hours/5 days a week is effective and healthy. In the rest of the time I do hustle, work that is more mundane (if you will) and I mean mundane in a positive way. I think I'll buy a book with a listing of valueable books that I'll want to buy (lol)

@Monika Which language?

@Monika how much time it will cost

Investment brings us monetary gain and Meditation (etc.) spiritual gain. I argue that could work together like clockwork. On the one Hand one can pursue Enlightenment in any circumstances, but on the other hand it's tend to be easier with money (thus freedom) and on the third hand one can invest into companies that help to raise consciousness (yes, they exist). What do you think: Should one invest while pursuing Awakening or not? I think it is critical to invest in the 'conscious future' whenever we buy something (or at least more often )

Thanks for you useful and kind reply. That I gathered: use whatever platform seems to work even dvds can bring money - search for the not obvious items develop a great knowledge of the marketplace Yes, I do Software Development as a Rookie and I earn good money with the perspective of yearly raises. The problem is that: The more you get absorbed into this domain the less you tend to care about consciousness work. In my Mind is it more clever to work dedicated, but not the crazy overtime like some colleagues of like 60+ overs a week in total. It is a lot and I possible that I won't be able to maintain it over a long time. My overall goal is to be a good programmer - but I want a secondary and tertiary hustle for safety and variety. Like that: Income = Programming (70%) + Hustle 2 (20%) + Hustle 3 (10%). So I need only 3 Hustles to 'make it'. I want to work now while I'm still relatively young to have a more and more time for politics and conscious work when I get older. Programming is really valuable, but I feel that there will be a change in a few years in the industry and it is possible that the low-level self taught programmers won't be needed any more. I want to be financially prepared and have alternatives at hand. Plus I feel more alive when I'm my own boss:) I really thought about buying valuable books, because I read a lot and there are many books that don't exist in digital form yet.

@Average Investor My goal is to have a Sidehustle that makes around 200€ a Month. I think after the first corona hype and before another crash will be the time buy relatively cheap. This is the chance for so many things. I think I'll experiment this 3-5 Hustles and one of them will be 'buy low, sell with profit' in your Style. I want to buy Stocks, get a little Sidejob and learn more programming with the perspective to freelance. And I have my Dayjob as a Software Developer. Which platforms do you use to sell?

No, I'm in Europe. No, I want to buy & sell in general as a side hustle. I have a regular 9 to 5 but I want to have multiple sources of income (3-5) in the future. Great Advice. Is it true that this work needs a lot of working? I thought that way the last time. Any time you sell a new thing you have to learn what it does and how much people want to pay for it. I would put a price on a thing and wait if someone would buy it within a few days. Then I would go lower and lower. I could do that strategy because I got those stuff cheap or for free and I needed money to pay the rent. So I did like 200€ with 5€-50€ items.

@Preety_India Sry to hear that. In which Country do you life? @Average Investor Selling is not Problem for me. My problem was last time the supply - how can I decide which kind of item I should buy to sell. Any unusual tips on where to buy?

@Average Investor That's the right spirit!;) I would like to know something. What is it you are selling? Is it a side hustle? How much money do you earn? I sold items on ebay when I was in financial troubles and I realized that I'm very good in communicating with certain people. I sold a wide range of items and it made a lot of fun as well. Without this hustle I would have not survived financially. Would be cool to reestablish that:)

Roy nailed it. I also think that after Corona we'll get a big financiall crisis. So we will see if that throws a lot of people back. It depends highly on our political leaders

You two seem to be more like peers, which is cool as well. I share my Languages like @Dinesh Karki here, @Chintan desai , I assume you use Javascript as well, but would you confirm if that is true? @Chintan desai @Dinesh Karki Did you studied CS or are you an autodidact?

The Question says it all. We'll have likely 1 month+ time at hand for actualizing. This could be the #1 Chance to show empathy & lead people. I'm quite sure this time will change societies and we can participate in that as actualized.org viewers. What will you do?:) Peace
