@ksub I was thinking more about not wanting to endlessly compare my life or situation to others. To feel good enough about myself that what others have or can do and I can’t doesn’t phase me. Sort of how you seemed annoyed when I posted a while back about not understanding how people can afford customs. Specifically the QTKS customs.
That’s why I am staying with LB when my washout is over. I want to add in a wealth title but may wait for a bit and allow LB to work
I actually think about that a lot. I honestly don’t expect to ever be able to retire. A lot of shit would have to change in the next five to ten years.
That mindset is why you won’t be able to retire. There are way too many opportunities that could make you a lot of money in a few years and allow you to retire. You’re not going to see them because you’ve already given up hope. If you decide that you need to be able to retire in 5 years, you’d start seeing things differently and opportunities that were invisible to you would start appearing. It always starts with a decision. If you don’t make a decision to be able to retire within 5 years, you’re simultaneously making the decision to work past retirement age.
So how do I change that? Run a wealth title?
Forget the subs, they can’t make your life decisions for you. You have to decide if you want to retire in five years or not. Before you tell me it’s difficult, I’ll tell you that I have seen many people broke at 50 who retired comfortably at 60. @James you’re relying too much on these subs to do things they are not created for.
I have seen at a business meeting, an older gentleman (past 50 years old) so broke that he could barely afford to pay $30 a month for a personal development subscription. After 3 or 4 years of hard consistent work, he was making over $150,000 yearly in his network marketing business. I have seen immigrants come to the US, in their 40s, and they couldn’t even speak English but still managed to start businesses and send their kids to private schools and college. There are too many examples everywhere. The difference between you and them is that they didn’t have the luxury to hesitate or be desperate. They made a decision and they put blinders on and they made it happen. You can do the same. HAVE YOU MADE A DECISION TO DO THAT?
One thing I have noticed about you @James, in all due respect, is that you seem to shy away from making the very decisions that are going to create change.
Remember this conversation? 
Just to mess up your thinking: Why do you want to retire? I don’t.
Then again, I’m not working either.
I enjoy what I do, so it’s not work.
@Hoppa : I kind of expected @James not to answer. For some reason, he seems to disappear or not give you a straight answer when you ask him questions that will get him to make a decision about his life.
I know that he badly wants to grow but how do you grow when you don’t make a bold decision to?
Not entirely sure other than I just want to be able to relax a bit which is hilarious to think about because it’s usually the hardest thing for me to do
Yeah I remember. I’m honestly not sure what the amount would be because the thought of making anything outside of a job and I go blank with how in the fuck can I do that?
If I hadn’t made the decision I wouldn’t have put so much time and effort into learning how to code or even considered it as a possibility. I’m trying to look for opportunities outside of just a job that I can do.
Remember this? If the subs aren’t for changing a person’s mindset then what are they for? You say to forget about the subs but at the same time go onabout how important Love Bomb is for helping people change their lives. I saw a post you made a couple or few days ago talking about what Emperor did for you. So either the subs are a tool for changing a person’s mindset and beliefs that lead to a better life or they don’t? Which is it?
The other thing about looking towards the future is putting contingency plans in place if something doesn’t work. That’s why I’m looking beyond retirement age. I have allowed myself to be left with nothing and no options if something or someone shits the bed. I’m not doing it again
You remember the video you posted a few days ago about deserve level?
When your level is really low, you don’t allow yourself to ask the right questions. As long as your deserve level is low, you don’t ask yourself questions that would elevate you above current status.
As long as you don’t feel like you deserve change, you will never make a decision that could seriously improve your life. And if get somehow pushed and actually achieve change (like winning the lottery) you’ll sabotage yourself until your back to status quo.
That’s why I’m so happy about LB. It just rises your deserve levelbstep by step.
I said the same thing not to long ago! LB is quickly becoming my favorite sub. I can’t wait to stack it with Emperor and NR next month.
My memory is for shit. Can you remind me of where I posted it?
Your memory ain’t that shit. ksub posted the video,not you. But here it is anyways
Best wishes for your eye surgery.
@James, to me, your whole reply to @ksub shows evidence that your deserve level is rising.
Why? Because this same line of thinking was going through my head today. Let me explain.
I’ve been working with my company for 8 years now, and workers getting pissed off at stupid but common decisions by management … never felt comfortable for me to even consider. I felt unworthy of standing up for myself. I saw myself through their eyes, and I haven’t felt valuable at all. I felt like a worm and have acted like one.
This is nothing new. I’ve been wearing this belief that I’m small and powerless my whole life.
Today while working I imagined me questioning my boss and the company’s principles. My imagined confrontation started with me expecting a quick dismissal of my thoughts where I’d comply…but I kept recreating the confrontation since something was driving me. I kept going back, getting better at speaking up each time.
What I ended up with was a new powerful belief growing in me: I felt good about having my own beliefs and values. I didn’t feel small. I didn’t fear airing my beliefs (normally it’d feel dangerous doing so).
This may seem small to some, but my life has been handcuffed to these beliefs. I’d find others with similar small beliefs so I’d not feel so unique–and just keep the cycle going. Again and again and again.
So, I had my first clear experience of raising my deserve level today. I’ve never felt confident to stand up for myself before. This movie that kept playing through my head was a first.
Your lengthy rebuttal to @ksub sounded like you may be experiencing it as well @James.
What do you think?
I gotta drop. Flippin tired
Great question. I will get back to you ok?
I think this might be the longest journal I have ever had on this forum.
That’s all legitimate and sounds sensible to me. I think you’re right.
But either way, unless your plans involve creating or spreading subliminal programs, then subliminals don’t need to be the focus right now. You’ve already got that part figured out and working for you.
You have a great stack and the subs work; so thinking about them very much more is not a top priority. It’s even likely to be counterproductive.
Chinese saying: when painting a snake, don’t add legs. It means knowing when you’ve done enough in a particular area and it’s time to move on to something else.
So, be the general who continually surveys the field, finding openings and possibilities. If you don’t see anything then keep looking until you do see something. Or take a nap and come back to it with more energy.
Experience and analysis are two wings of a bird. Don’t mistake your analyses for experiences; or vice versa. Just because you’ve thought about something a lot, it doesn’t mean that you’ve seen everything that’s there or have identified all possibilities.
Don’t just be humble about your greatness, be humble about your despair. Hopelessness is arrogant. It assumes too much.
So, set up your own series of manageable experiments. Not Hail Mary passes; experiments. This is not a Hollywood movie. You don’t have to be exaggeratedly dramatic to make progress. You just need to keep learning.
At the end of life, I think we’ll care about What We’ve Learned and How We’ve Helped and that’s about it.
Keep learning and keep helping and you’re getting it right.
And remember to pack the Bullshit Goggles, for seeing through other people and for seeing through yourself.
