Questions About Living Life? - Ask Here

[Leo Gura]

I am collecting questions that I might answer in future vlogs. The idea is to focus each vlog on one question about living life.

• Make your questions clear and concise.
• Don't ask me personal questions about my life.
• Don't tell me your life story. Just ask your question.
• There's no guarantee that your question will be selected for a vlog or answered. Given my limited time I have to be selective.
• I would tend to pick questions that would interest lots of others viewers. So don't make your questions too personal. Such as, "Should I become an musician or a filmmaker?" or "How do I get girl X to fall in love with me?"
• Don't ask questions which are too technical, such as, "How do I do meditation technique X?"

 

Examples of the kind of questions I'm looking for:

• Is it worthwhile to go college?
• Should I major in something I enjoy or something which is practical & earns money?
• What should I be focused on developing in my early 20s?
• How do I overcome fear of failure when starting a business?
• What is required to succeed in business?
• How do I become successful?
• Do all intimate relationships end in failure or is it possible to make them work?
• How do I balance between pursuing a career vs pursuing enlightenment?
• What is the role of technology in self-actualization?
• How do I self-actualize if I'm living in an under-developed 3rd world country?
• Should I become a monk? Is this a viable life path?
• How important is money for self-actualization? What is the proper role of money?
• I seem to be stuck in a rut. How do I motivate myself to start doing the work?
• Can I ignore enlightenment entirely and just focus on success? What will be the result of that?

Okay, you get the idea. Ask away.

What questions do you have about living life?

@Leo Gura How necessary are human relationships (friends, family, lovers)? Can loneliness actually be overcome? I feel as though you might have previously said that the neurosis preventing someone from developing deep relationships is easier to overcome than the fear that drives the need for human relationships in the first place. 

If someone feels like they don't fit in with the people around them due to their niche combination of personality type and interests, what are they to do? Would you say it comes down to developing charisma, in the sense that you are an authentic version of yourself which is visible to others?

When it particularly comes to making sexual relationships you seem to encourage pickup artist practices. But that seems like it's a bit inauthentic and involves being fake to other people. Your thoughts?

Above I have left the questions that I am most interested in hearing your perspective about...bolding the ones I am most interested in

I'm diving into the world of business and am very overwhelmed.

Another question:

 

How do I build a serious work ethic? How to stop avoiding tedious or laborious work when starting a business?

 

Thanks  I like your vlog style videos. I enjoy listening to you ramble because my thinking style tends to be very rambly as well (ENTP). I always learn a lot from your thinking style. 

 

Edit: Many of us, including myself can get stuck very low on maslow's heirarchy without solving these basic financial needs.

• Starting from 0 without any expertice do you go straight for Life Purpose or just a job to make ends meet? 
• If it's a job, which jobs/businesses would you suggest to leverage the work we do here?
• Do you first work on your inner game (through spirituality) and then act out in the world or vise-versa?
• Should you drop out of college and if yes, what after?
• How do you find conscious likeminded people on the path and cultivate meaningful relationships?
• If the more conscious you get the more you recontextualize your priorities, isn't it ideal to work on your consciousness first?
• Who is in a better boat, an enlightened hippie living on the street or a completely unconscious multimillionaire CEO?
• Which are the most valuable characteristics you should develop early in life?
• Should you structure your day or just wing it?
• How would a structured day look like?
• Which are some common signs you are in a rut and how to get out of one?
