Self Actualization, working, staying focused, with no burnout. Let's get a game plan

[Poh SIti Dawn]

Surround yourself with people smarter than yourself as well as people that have more ambition than yourself. Both factors will create an inner drive within yourself to propel your career.

That's a good idea, but what if we are at the bottom and trying to get up?

Spring cleaning. Let go of people and things that no longer serve you.

Thats EXACTLY when you should seek out and find people that are smarter and more ambitious than yourself. They will lift you up to their level.

Your personality takes on small changes from the five people you are around the most. Make those five people in your circle be some smart dudes and you'll soon notice you're doing some of the same things they are, thus moving on up.

That's easy for some, hard for others, but I agree with you.

I keep hearing about this book. Gotta get my hands on it.

self actualization is not a process of self-improvement. if you accept yourself as you are without trying to be better, greater, more insightful then you can use your imperfections as part of your path

it's hard to give a specific game plan for a extremely personal journey, so be like the lotus. float on the mud of your mind and you won't be as burned out

or align the words you give to yourself and the image you project to others, constantly throw out things one doesn't like about the other. see what happens when things are whittled down

imagine the negativity in you being in the pit of your stomach going to your throat, where you neither invite or reject it. just ordinarily accept it. let it be purified

being a warrior is never giving up on anyone or anything

Like 7 days a week nonstop? Dang. Word, well what do you do? Are there options to reduce your workload on either sides? Because perhaps you want something in life and don't need another. Are you trying to progress through the company?

Nice, yeah meditating is ok. And that's ok if it's little, honestly get used to taping things on yout wall like that, because we need those reminders of what we want or what we think or even what others think.

Anyway thanks.

I'm gonna post some inspirtng videos and stuff in here, let's achieve greatness as well as peace and indepeadence from the poisons of everyday life.

Nah, I have weekends off. I'm a digital producer for FCB. Around the ending of July I'll get a clearer picture of whether or not I'll be staying here for much longer. I've received offers from other places, so I just need to wait and see for the outcome of everything. Which is probably another factor behind all this built up anxiety I have.
The workload can be stressful at times, but it's usually fair. Especially now, things are so slow in the office.

But yeah, I need to tape more things to my walls. I have workout routines, a big diagram of the cycle of change, bullet points of morals/values I hold highly.

I plan on putting up written poetry, favorite art pieces, maybe some images of places I want to go to, etc. More creative stuff. Idk. This weekend was both fun and rough. Still trying to get through it all...

Happy new week brehs! We're alive and well! That's most important!

Good album, good way to start the night

 

[Poh SIti Dawn]

Started reading Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich. I like it so far, I'd suggest getting the pdf somewhere online

the futbol club Barcelona? Oh, offers to where?

Yeah, just stay positive and read them man. Make conscious efforts.

No rush, it'll come, just stay focused. Do you have to bring work home with you?
Word.

Thanks and you too. Definitely, a friend of mine asked me if I'd be back next Tuesday to play soccer and I said "I should be, if I'm permitted but that's not my decision". Be thankful for the moment, for the initial breath in the morning, take 10 minutes to meditate, then a moment to pray and say thank you if not to god then to your soul for allowing another day.

Remember, we're getting better and better everyday, we're staying positive, we're envisioning our goals being scored and our dreams being a tangible reality.

ps. You are a wonderful and beautiful person, you just keep forgetting. Let me remind you. Shine like the light that you are.

FCB - Foote, Cone & Belding. One of the biggest ad agencies.

Got an offer to another ad agency under Publicis, which is kind of a big deal. Last week some lady from HBO Sports hit me up. Replied to her, hoping for a reply soon.

Nah, I don't bring work home. Luckily.

Me and my (ex) lady ended things today. Really sucks. She was younger, concerned/not concerned with things that often clashed with mine. Our values/priorities just weren't aligned. I think I knew this would happen early on, but the ride was real nice. It didn't end so well. Sucks being the nice guy, often to a fault. Could have been like one of the fellas, smash and left, but that's just not me. I really took a liking to her. I know eventually things will be okay...

Thanks for the reminder breh...it's much needed nowadays

Hope everyone else is doing great! Try your best to hold on to each moment. The times move so quickly...

Taking up a martial art and/or yoga is also a wonderful idea.

 

[Poh SIti Dawn]

I got homework, gotta get to that, did my group project with my group, went to martial arts, home, ate, meditated, stretched, now focus on homework.

I'm leaning because I want to make a lot of money, but also I realize that I want to make a difference and I also want to be free and travel. My youth has to be used to travel I believe, and then my 30's things will start to get more in focus.

There's a Russian girl in my Linguistics class, I'll act like I'm looking the other way and I keep seeing her look at me, I need to take an opportunity to ask her about herself.

Anyway, I wanted to bump this because I started this thread and I want to reinforce the importance of encouraging each other, loving each other, and respecting each other.

We have so much, but our minds create problems for us to solve. Tell yourself that these problems aren't anywhere except for in your mind and dismiss them. Some things are inevitable, but we have friends and family to discuss with, most of the times they're little made up things.

I've started to choose to read wikipedia pages instead of the coli, so today was the first day and I enjoyed what I learned. I read about the Yakuza, the KGB, A german physicist that sold information to the Russians.

Right now I'm reading about Vladimir Lenin (need to get on my HW) but I read something encouraging and cool, and I didn't know it, but just to post something cool. Feel free to do the same...

In October 1917, Lenin issued a decree limiting work for everyone in Russia to eight hours per day.[202] He also issued the Decree on Popular Education which stipulated that the government would guarantee free, secular education for all children in Russia,[202] and a decree establishing a system of state orphanages.[203]To combat mass illiteracy, a literacy campaign was initiated; an estimated 5 million people enrolled in crash courses of basic literacy from 1920 to 1926.[204]Embracing the equality of the sexes, laws were introduced that helped to emancipate women, by giving them economic autonomy from their husbands and removing restrictions on divorce.[205] A Bolshevik women's organisation, Zhenotdel, was established to further these aims.[206] Militantly atheist, Lenin and the Communist Party wanted to demolish organised religion,[207] and in January 1918 the government decreed the separation of church and state and prohibited religious instruction in schools.[208]
