First is Health
Get Health and get Fit
I mean become a health freak, eat nothing artificial, no yeast, no white sugar, no white flower, and nothing bleached, if it didn’t grow outta earth don’t eat it.
Eg. There’s not such thing as a Coca Cola tree
Exercise everyday and become addicted to exercise, I love it when it’s pouring rain outside and I see someone jogging
Second Emotions and Meaning
Know thyself, be thyself, love thyself
It’s incredible if you walk up to anyone and ask do you know who you are, 99% will say of course. That’s the illusion, you need to get to a point where you know and are living your deepest self and know that you can know yourself even deeper, and this only comes when you know and are living your nature as a person.
Read ‘The Way of the Superior Man’ by David Deida and ‘Dear Lover’ by David Deida
Third Relationships
Friends
Family
Intimate
Mastering Communication is the key here, Everyones favourite topic is themselves. When you approach someone new approach them as if you want to find out their truth, who they really are. Learn to Empathise, I can’t repeat enough how important it is to learn to empathise, not just listening but genuinely putting yourself in their shoes.
If you’re looking for more of quick way to just open woman and sleep with them then the book ‘The Game’ by Neil Strauss is your ride.
Fourth Career\Work\Mission
This is aligned to your purpose and desire. Everyone knows exactly what area or field they want to work, the only reason a person is not working in that field or area they want is because they have an excuse or belief or reason or rationalisation of why they can’t.
Fifth Finance
Find an area or field you’re interested in and find a person who got rich doing that which you want and copy them.
Sixth Contribution
I’m taking a guess by the time you get to this point and mastered everything above you would probably know your connection with people and nature in such a deep way that you would contribute in some form of teaching. |
Thanks for taking the time to reply. I get what you're saying with the idea that everything is connected (sound body, sound mind, etc.), but I'm not sure your specific examples are very helpful to me.
In regards to health, I'm pretty healthy to begin with. I go to the gym 3-4 times a week, am just starting boxing lessons, and while my diet could probably be a little bit better, I certainly consider myself in good shape. Also, I'm 25 years old...I'm not sure that abstaining from things like alcohol and meat will do anything but increase my alienation.
As for work/finances, while I wouldn't consider my current job to be my 'dream job' (the Red Sox already have a second baseman) I have no problems in these areas of my life. Looking at my friends and the people my age I know, I wouldn't trade my job with any of them (well, except the one who works for Google). I'm certainly not rich, but I do OK for myself, and I don't think being rich will make me any happier. I just got a pretty big raise with my new job and I assure you it hasn't affected my personal happiness one bit.
Like I said before, though, thank you for taking the time to reply....I'm sure this advice works best for you, but I'm not really sure it applies to me.
