Close Your Eyes Till 2018
So, lately, I’ve been grinding out pretty hard for my new project and the other day I got a self-realization: I don’t have all the time in the world.
Masculinity is a hard thing. The other day I walked passed a beautiful girl. She’s was definitely a model. I really wanted to stop her and talk to her. I’ve read a lot about seduction and I knew the steps to approaching her, but I didn’t. Then I felt bad for not doing it.
Introvert should learn how to communicate with other people.
Extrovert should learn how to communicate with themselves.
Then there’re those who don’t know how to communicate at all, to themselves or others.
Happy are those that don’t belong to the above category.
A new life, where every day is a new opportunity.
When I was growing up, Sunday evenings were all about preparing for a week ahead. Packing everything for school, choosing clothes, checking calendar for school and extracurricular activities, and above all, appreciating last moments of weekend and mentally opening up for new responsibilities in…

Good Morning Gergely
I’m 55, and that doesn’t make me any wiser, but I gained quite some experience since my late twenties.
You see I had to go through some very hard times before I realized that this accumulated experience isn’t worth a penny if you are not aware of it and even then, you still need…
Stop blaming people for your negativity. Because it is not the people but your inexpressiveness to people, which is the reason for your negativity. Start expressing yourself now!!!
I’m tapering off my Saturn return, nearing 29. The three-part series Crisis ’15-’17 can be found within a stack of diaries located on the second shelf of the bookcase in my studio — far left corner. Entries include long lines of internal thought, chaotic…
Oh wow thanks so much for the mention! I’m flabbergasted and honored, that is awesome. ♥️ It’s hard to put it into words and describe it, especially if you do have that connection and affection with others, yet the labeling is just ineffective.
Bill Murray’s careless attitude seems to be a very thought out process that was for the best and grew to be a part of his life very quickly. Not caring in life in many ways in a bad thing that will not get anyone far at all in life but always if it is used properly such as in Bill Murray’s life it can lead to great things. Not caring about…
The past two days have been groundbreaking for my self motivation transformation. I spent countless hours at the library preparing for two exams I have this week. Instead of cramming the night before, I have nothing to worry about because I already feel prepared. I have a Statistics exam Monday…
Express Yourself
As I mentioned last week we have 5 core emotions: anger, fear, joy, sadness, and…
We all find ourselves in bad moods from time to time.
Such is life. We can’t have the ups without the downs. You gotta get pissed off and punch a pillow every now and then. Life needs the full range of emotion.
The reward system of the human psychology is fascinating. Even talking about things sometimes invokes the feeling of positive emotion in us. It almost feels like we actually did it although we just spoke it. Its for that reason that there is the common strategy of not talking about your goals…

That’s one of the criteria for sexual selection. If you force all men to be expert about sex, then it will be hard for you, women to choose the right partner, right?
In my final attempt to try and build self confidence for myself I allowed myself to feel emotions instead of avoiding sadness or discourgement. When feeling overwhlemed or some type of emotion that would usually discourage you turn that around and have it HELP you!

It’s just like life. You accept the roles you can get pretty easily, or woman up and create what you really want. I’ve been playing the parts I can get for years, not sure if I could get what I really wanted, always waiting for my chance.
Self Discipline is one of the most important factors that we need to develop before we can even begin to win in our journey of personal success. Many of the desired outcomes we want In life are very attainable once we focus our thoughts and attention on the very specifics of the desired outcome we…

Today’s self-empowering communication to positively affect yourself:

Not everyone is lucky to have that someone.
Some of us should be that someone for ourselves.
What’s important is not being vulnerable or its display.
But to know for sure what one should do after all those emotions have subside. And they will, sooner or later.
People change, and so are their opinions and feelings.Don’t let them get in your way.
The human body is made to be sensual and to be sexual. The sensual and sexual energies will find their own way and choose suitable partners with or without a physical sexual relationship. This is not a game. Fools and cowards are warned not to play with these energies. To play with these…
Dan Miller would be proud of your reinvestment in yourself.
All through our way of life, many of us got the need to be all we are able to end up being, however some of us ignore this want. More often than not, we might stay in our safe place with out understanding that we are transferring upward the possiblility to…
I love your “trick”… We think that fighting biases it’s a huge work. In part it is, but we can simply start to work on them — and have huge results — practising humility and caution.
Don’t run from your own momentum.
As I embark even further in my new journey as an official writer *clap clap YAYY* (I’ve always written, but this is the first week I feel comfortable calling myself a “Writer”), I feel invigorated by the pure energy of just doing it. Just do it. JUST DO IT. That 90’s slogan which helped…

So after a week of attempting to work on structuring my day better with trial and error tactics, I noticed that over time it begins to come more natural to me. The “okay I need to knuckle down for a minute here…” attitude disappeared and subconsciously it turned more…
Feelings and emotions are never right or wrong. They are sensory inputs that give valid information to help us with our personal life choices. As such they don’t really have intelligence of their own but are instead spontaneous automatic reactions to things within our environment. They can…
A positive affecting affirmation to help yourself:
"It is okay for me to continue how I see myself, what I am doing for positive affecting changes, and the good purpose I am giving myself. It is okay to enjoy my life for joy and awesome moments of…
When we get pushed, it’s a natural reaction to push back.
Revenge is overrated.
But the more we get back at someone no matter how much it may be deserved, the more like them we become.
The rational atheists have really shot themselves in the foot this time! Their insistence upon denying the spiritual aspects of life and the nonphysical realities is causing them some problems. As long as a person had spiritual convictions and faith they could have honor and dignity no matter what…
