This is what I'm struggling with most right now. People keep asking me what I want to do with my career, in the next 5 years of my life, etc. I never have answers. Idk what I wanna do yet.

This is the main topic I brought to therapy Day 1. I've been so drained by hyper-stimulant activities like hook-ups and social media that, at times, I feel like an empty shell of a human being who has no interests at all. It comes with a feeling of not knowing who I am, what are my values, etc, it's kind of a disconnection from myself.

This man is either a genius or has done millions of hours in research… I think both

[Casual-Yohoho-Enjoyer]

I actually did figure it out, there are only two things that I want in life:

I want my friends to grow and improve and succeed in whatever they want to succeed in. I want to be there for them and support them on their journey however I can. Whatever resources I have I'll share with them if they need it. If I'm ever at the top I'm taking them with me. If they get to the top then I'll be cheering them on, even if I say back in the shadows.

The second thing is to be able to create something so good people like it for what it is. Youtube content, streams, webcomic, book, music, video game, whatever. I feel like I was blessed with so many ideas and I simply wanna do at least some of them justice.

My own solution to this problem. Always ask myself what do I really want. I do this whenever I feel lost or get distracted.

I needed this video so badly! I struggle to know who I truly am and what I truly want. 😔

I am not good at discipline or competition 😅
So i focused my capacity for discipline on self love. And that is what is helping me with healthy habits in so many different parts of live.

Dr. K in myfeed poping up unassumingly all the time... it both a blessing and a curse.

[glenbateman]

I have no problem knowing what I want.
I want to be able to meet my needs.
I only have 5 needs.
They're easy to keep track of, so, no problem.
A simplified life is a happy life.

I took two tabs of acid and sat with my thoughts and a notebook. Got everything crystal clear. Was sleepy af the next two days.

the sadest point in my life was when i realized that the best verison of myself is the one that does not play video games 😢

[hakimchulan]

I just finished the video the other day and it helped me a lot

[Coastie]

I can workout and eat healthy no problem. I'm shredded and sexy but when it comes to working hard at school or my job, that's where i struggle 😂

The paralysis of choice or plane and simply hedonism keeps people from living a healthy meaningful life

Guy's facial expressions are about to go Jim Carrey's The Mask level soon I think

[glenndiddy]

Monkey brain like picking up heavy rock. That sums up how I stay motivated to work out
