On the topic of beingā¦ I had the opportunity to listen to a person currently in the process of dying, and their insights have been ringing in my mind.
Itās one thing to read stories, or the Top 7 Regrets of Dying People, but to SEE this personās eyes and hear their words as they expressed some realizations and explored the topic of death with us in real time, that was an experience I wonāt forget any time soon.
It reminded me of some of the powerful clarity I had after an incident that almost cost me my life.
I think Limitless is helping boost the insights Iām continuing to have about it as well.
My focus has shifted away from maximizing money to building better relationships with other successful folks who share similar values and have a mission Iād want to invest in.
Thereās far less ācravingā to get to my financial goals and deal with just anyone with lucrative deal potential to get there.
So, Nouveau RICH has helped me be pickier with where I invest my time and energy, and quality of life is better for it.
Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
ā Mark 11:24
Underestimating the time and energy and consistency it takes to reach certain destinations can be a killer.
What if you overestimated instead?
What if you gave up estimating?
What if, regardless of how you estimated, you never arrive?
8 loops over the past month of new Limitless, and I think itās a keeper. Iāve been thinking about running a few loops of Daredevil though before heading to the mountain (and maybe while there), give me a boost in story-telling and adventuring type energy.
Ok while in between cycles, I decided to run Spartan + Legacy of the Spartan together, and the combo is nutsā¦ I had one of the best training sessions today and that was after Iād put in a couple hours of working out and running to purposely take myself close to fatigue.
The result kinda blew me away.
These two are going into a custom so running them this week in part to prep for the new custom, but mostly because I want the synergistic boost to have some effect before I head up to the mountain next week.
The dilemma now is: do I run a loop of Hero when I get to the mountainā¦or Daredevil? 
Noticed an increase in body temp last night, plus I forgot to turn off the heater, so I was up way early after only 4.5 hours of sleep.
Early energy was really good, but hitting a wall after being awake for 6 hours now. Makes sense since I only got 3.5 hours of sleep the night before last. Canāt escape sleep deprivation consequences foreverā¦yesterday I felt no symptoms until I had to do some teaching last night and noticed I had to pause a couple beats before communicating.
The overall soreness in my body today is surprisingly minimal. Itās mainly my lower legs complaining since I pushed hard on the run yesterday and did āhigh knee sprintsā on every hill for as long as it took to reach the top.
And the way I see myself in the mirror is already different: I had this internal sense of āyouāre a handsome māferā this morning, and that the physical perfection Iām looking to achieve is already there.
And the overall relaxation in my body feels great.
I ran Spartan last month, so these are all the new, instant changes that were most obviously not from Spartan.
Some fast results from only about 7 minutes of the LotS + Spartan combo.

I think Limitless is blooming hard right now because I decided to create a spreadsheet to track and optimize everything Iām taking up to the mountainā¦and Iām not a fan of spreadsheets.
I wondered why the hell I was enjoying the tediousness of the process so much yesterday when it dawned on me that I was tapping into that side of myself that loves to minmax ALL THE THINGSā¦going all the way back to the tabletop 
I donāt tap into that side too often anymore, but Iām starting to think that if this is how it feels after only a month of running Limitless, thereāre going to be way more spreadsheets in my future.

In the last 18 days, a whole lot has happened. All of it seems to be benefitting my growth, even if at the moment it didnāt seem like it.
If I had to boil it down to a theme, itād be about: Death and Relearning Lessons.
So many good-feeling and interesting experiences were intermingled with a few not-so-good-feeling ones (visiting family definitely fueled some of the higher temp experiences)ā¦
Whatās most fascinating to me is at the end of it all, I feel sort of neutral but positive that it was all for the best.
It might have something to do with running Dragon Reborn Gold St1 for a couple loops before washing out for 5 days at the end of my tripā¦
But, Iām home now and today is the beginning of a new cycle with DRG St1 in the stack (only 3 minutes this time). Iām curious to see what I can do with it running alongside Nouveau RICH.
Forging internal refinement, leadership, and wisdom while innovating on and disrupting a market? Sounds like some challenging fun. Game on.

Brought this to the journal so as not to derail the videos thread @Viktor ā¦
So, what do I think?
Light sparring is 100% the way to go for ongoing practice. It reduces the chance for major injuries and is basically āthe 80/20ā of hard sparring. Itās a different kind of fun too, a more relaxed and playful fun.
The video made a few good points, and a few I felt meh aboutā¦
What did you find interesting about it?
I think I remember you saying you started practicing with the sword when you started Hero. Do you have experience with other types martial arts or fighting?

I thought people who practise martial arts professionally always duke it out routinely every workout. I was curious how people here approach it.
Yeah, 80/20 sounds more reasonable
Nope, i was never interested before.
I tried some movements that i saw from youtube, but i didnāt stick with them. Swinging a sword feels more fun to me. I guess thatās HeOās influence there, rofl.

Hero made training with swords feel almost mystical when I ran it. Super fun.
Have you found someone to swing your sword at?
I mean, someone willing and whoāll swing a sword back at you

Surprisingly i havenāt.
To be fair, the sub did manifest some opportunities for me to have sparring partners, everything was laid out so perfectly that all i needed to do was to say āyesā.
But i didnāt, i chose to focus on my other goals instead. This is what happened when i used RM:UWX & WB too. I had to say no to keep my focus 
One day iāll accept the opportunity

Finally posted some results from Dragon Reborn Gold in the discussion thread yesterdayā¦
I did a lot of offline journaling throughout the process due to not wanting to share many personal things here on a public forum while in a state of flux.
(Also, I wondered what the point of keeping this public journal wasā¦)
There was a sense of vulnerability in the first couple weeks with stage 1 that has since changed somewhat. Not that my sensitivity has decreased or Iāve āhardenedā up, but that I have a better grasp on how to navigate the greater sense of āopennessā I feel.
Anyway, I think Iām going to start making more āmicroā posts here to track relevant changes entering my awareness now that Iāve got a good sense of how DRG drives results for me.
I mightāve jumped the gun there, lolā¦
I thought Iād feel more like Saitama in the face of future adversity:
But something came up today and my initial internal response felt more like:
It took longer to subside than I expected as I noticed the little hurricane inside whipping thoughts around. What helped was being honest about feeling āoffā without going into details and not trying to act like everything was super cool. I kept my composure and professionalism though, and actually felt better after expressing that little bit of truth.
In the middle of the break between cycles today, and it feels like Iām on the precipice of some kind of changeā¦
Thereās a sense of exposure like walking a narrow path on a mountain side with a solid wall of rock on one side, and a wide open 5000 foot drop on the other.
The only thing to do is focus on taking the next step and breathing through it.
Interesting things happened yesterday where during a time set aside to study and explore spiritual teachings, all sorts of distractions and internet glitches started happening. One of the distractions got to me emotionally which made concentration and focus feel super tough afterward.
And today, during an hour set aside for spiritual practice and learning, a similar thing happened where something external triggered the emotions to stir, and made focus for the rest of the time a challenge. It wasnāt anywhere near as bad as yesterday tho.
Weāll see how tomorrowās scheduled time goes.
