Sharing my self-actualization journey

[adithyaunlimited]

Hi,

Quick intro about myself I was introduced to self-actualization when I searched "how to get a girlfriend" and stumbled on Leo's video in 2015 or 16 , when i was in 9th grade, I was very surprised by the counter-intuitiveness of his advice and continued watching his videos on "Emotional mastery" . Leo's videos were a gateway into self-improvement for me, it completely blew me away that I could change my life for the better inside and outside.

My life no longer felt like a game of luck, I could choose any aspect of my life I want to improve, work on it and actually see results. I would like to thank @Leo Gura for giving me that paradigm shift. I am eternally grateful for that. Thank you.

I was amazed when I was introduced to the spiritual concepts as well, I educated my self a lot on it, did a lot of inquiry work and was surprised to see what I thought I was. This went on for 2 years. But I currently I am more focused on my life purpose and career.

Talking about present day, I am 21, I am software engineer, a fresher, my first job.

I even have a girlfriend now, I could barely talk to girls before,Now i have way more self-esteem and confidence. Most of my relationships are all suprisingly healthy because I have developed empathy and people skills. Books on relationships and how to make friends have helped a lot,

I also have a consistent habit of working out.It has become my core habit. A daily habit used to seem impossible to have before.

Meditation is also becoming a more consistent habit for me.

Up until now my life purpose was and still is to "Become the best artist I can be, and to have positive influence on the world with my art".

So for 4 years i went to college for Computer science, every day came back home and worked on my art.

I was very ambitious and wanted to establish my presence online and make stable money out of art before I graduated . But reality said otherwise. 

So instead I am a software engineer 4 months in, I like coding and the job pays very well ,but i still haven't given up on my art. I still try to put in the hours.

But life is getting very very comfortable, because of money, security and all the good things that i have .

I rejoice these things, but i want to do more, do better in many areas of my life.  But when I bring up this desire to my friends and colleagues they don't get it because they are not that exposed or bought into the idea of continous self-improvement.

I want to associate with people who are self- actualizing  and hence i have decided to try sharing and connecting with people on this forum.

I will try to share here regularly.

Nice to meet you,
Adi
