If I asked you guys to fill up a bucket of stress and depression outside for a day and comeback, would the bucket be full? Yep, exactly.

" Feelings like stress and depressive thoughts does not exist in the physical world, only people thinking stressful and depressive thoughts."


1. )Never Place your Self Worth on Materialistic possessions, achievements, status and social symbols.

Think about it guys, if you look at things from a spiritual and deeper level. It would be right to say that You are NOT your job, your relationships, how much money you have on your bank account, how much chicks you've banged, your clothes, etc. All the these things like our physical body, goes away and soon gets replace. You are more than these external factors, you are a spiritual being created by God. You are a worthy, unique and divine creature despite having these things. Enjoy your personal success, but never let it define who you are as a human being.

2.) Sometimes More is less ( Simplify)

Like I said, if you find something unfullfilling in your life, maybe it's time to simplify it. For example, like I've said in my previous post, if you find your relationship with your girlfriend to be a bit stressful and adds more anxiety in your life, perhaps you could settle for a laidback FB. Or if you're a famous rockstar and don't like the pressure of the media, perhaps you could retire and settle to be a songwriter instead.

One of the biggest myth the western hemishphere wants us to believe is the mantra - " More is better". That's our egos talking and is mantra will always be wanting more and more. " I want to be in the freaking honor roll, I want a bigger car, I want that championship trophy to prove I am " better" than that next dude.

Remember your ego will always want you to have more and more. But From a higher level of consiousness and awareness, all we really want deep down is peace, fullfillment and satisfaction.


3.) You don't have anyone to prove, except yourself.

Stop comparing yourself to other people ! It is simply a game you can't win and it will breed a crap load of insecurities out of you. What you have to understand is we are all connected and traveling a different path in life, yet we are not seperated. There will always someone who appears " better" than you, and always someone who appears " least", yet we are all divine and can all learn something from each other.


4.) Contact your spiritual source for peace and answers each day. Find some quiet time to be alone.

You can call this meditation, you can call this praying or whatever. And this method has worked wonders for centuries, people often say that this is a great stress reliever or something to relieave yourself from the stresses of the day. But it is more than that, when you are doing this, you are talking to God, your higher self, a mystical force of light or whatever you want to call it. During many times of my life, especially during " desperate" times, I would find a quiet spot to be alone and I would look deep within myself and find answers to my questions.

" God only comes to those with the quiet mind".


5.) Be an Early Riser

If you're always busy and always complaining that you never have time for yourself. Then I highly recommend it, this would be a great time to exercise, read that book you were working on, play video games or whatever. I usually wake up around 5:30 and meditate.


6.) You can Find Love through acceptance, tolerance and forgiveness.

There's a good quote by Robert Frost.

" We love those for who they are, not for what they are not."

My best advice for the guys here who are bitter or angry about a relationship, something or someone. Learn to let it go, you just can't move on if you can't let it go. I cannot tell you how it's done, but once you do, you will feel an incredible burden lifted off of your shoulders. Believe me.

We need to learn to be less judgemental about many aspects of life and be more tolerant. If you've been wronged or hurt in the past, it was not really that other person's fault. They were simply doing what they knew how to do. There is no such thing as a "bad" person, only a bad experience that had happened to that person which led him to commit those actions. See all those people that is or had mistreat you in your life as potential teachers, they all have something to teach you. Be thankful for why they are here. There here for a reason.

7.) Tame or destroy the ego

I noticed that one of the main theme in this board is " Oh look at me, I'm a freaking" DJ" ! Haha! Look at those freakin " AFCs" , how pathetic!" It seems like theres a sense of seperation and superiority complex in this board. But the truth of the matter is we are not seperated, we are neither better or inferior to the " AFC's". We are all one, we are all connected and sharing the same invicible energy that is flowing within all of us.

Learn to tame the ego and you will feel a sense of peace within all areas of life, you will let go and surrender it to a higher level of consciousness. You will feel a sense of peace and abundance especially in your dating life as well. You will no longer feel the need to date to show off, or to show off to your friends how cool you are and to get other people's validations. You will instead see dating as a sense of enjoyment in life and you will learn to love people and women in general.

8.) Abundance is everywhere !

I encourage you guys to have a sense of gratitude everyday. Everyday, find something to be thankful about. I was watching a biography on Christopher Reeve, he's a great motivational speaker and it made me really cherish the fact that I can still walk, run and in still in healthy condition. A lot of us take these things for granted. That we still have a roof on our heads, still have food in our table and still alive to enjoy life.

Always think of the good that is happening in your life before the bad ones. If you perceive life from a sense of scarcity your actions will reflect your thoughts. And nothing ever good comes out of desperation.

9.) Stop Being Victimize and say no to unwanted situations in your life.

Are you always going to meetings or any social situations that you don't want? but do anyways because you don't want to seem " rude" or " uncaring"? Do you always do your friend's homework because you don't want to appear "mean" or " hurt their feelings"? Yeah, I know I'm giving corny examples, but this is the type of things that I'm talking about. just learn to say No, people will more likely respect you for your straightness.

fvck that. Not everyone is a morning person. People have different genetic clocks in there body and some people are morning people others are night owls. For me I would just stay up later.

Other than that I agree with you (except for God, I don't believe in God and the new age stuff).

9.) Stop Being Victimize and say no to unwanted situations in your life.
That's something I have trouble with. It was part of my upbringing to not be "rude" to people and say no to something they want you to do.

Roly, a GREAT post. Extremely motivational for me:D

Apart from the references to god, it mirrors the teachingds of buddhism- let go, relax, tame the ego, etc.

All very good stuff:cheer:

It's kinda freaky cause' your post is almost an exact carbon copy of my own beliefs and aims at the moment.

keep up the good work;)

Roly this is the thrid time I'm telling you this... here it is straight

Rule number one for selling, don't tell people not to buy the other product, tell them why they should buy yours.

i.e.

they don't want to hear why their current thinking is wrong, they want to hear why yours is better

don't point out their faults, point out what they believe to be wrong

don't brag about anything, the meagre see it as a way of goading them into competition, when thinking in terms of intelligence, competition is far too abundant

PS I still can't convince people, your ideas are an excellent present, you just pack them in ugly boxes.

Yeah I guess you're pretty right. People in general don't like to be corrected.
 

Never try to read a woman's mind. It is a scary place. Ignore her confusing signals and mixed messages. Assume she is interested in you and act accordingly.

Thanks Jerry, always glad I can help.

You know the good saying - " The more you give the more you receive." Whenever an act of kindness is done, shared or been seen it releases a chemical in our brain called Serotonin- a chemical effect that makes everyone feels good inside. :D
