how to beat ocd and start living in the present? im sick of working towards a "perfect live" daydreaming about my future and wasting my whole youth in depression.
>i only need x amount of money and i will be forever grateful and live in peace that initial "x" now im up 100x that and i still want more like a greedy fucking faggot. there will always be a better car, bigger mansion, nicer watch out there. why cant i realise this and start enjoying life with what i have?
i think its because the road was the goal as clichee as it sounds. there is beauty in the struggle, ugliness in the success anons. im where i wanted to be in life ever since a child and yet i realise it didnt cure my depression. im still the same person. but now i cant even cope with saying that when i have "x" money my real life will start because now i got it and after the initial dopamine spike i crashed down brutally.
i need help before i lose it. what the fuck is there to do in life. im off cocaine and alcohol for a month now, starting to lift and meditate but its still a living hell.
If your success is a chain, then chain your current success and achieve another type.
Lock your earnings into a vehicle you can't access for x amount of time or without the approval of a 3rd party and move to another country.
What's going to happen? At worst, you come back to your current success. At best, you achieve another success from ground zero and make friends (and pound foreign pussy) along the way.
The hedonic treadmill is a brutal master because life is an even more brutal enemy for most people. Either learn to tame thy desires or allow them another channel to flow through while you try taming them.

stop. literally. all-in something with staking like Kleros (PNK) and don't touch it for a year. you'd be surprised at how much less is more.
Jeremiah Collins
also, go motorbike around S.E. Asia, go to Berlin. Head into the mountains. Do whatever.

>how to beat ocd and start living in the present? Better than adhd where getting organized and planned is literally suffering even with amphetamines. Do you spend your money on traveling at all? Maybe it'll change your perspective somewhat. Anyway if you're not religious, use your money on experiences and giving to other people, or a cause that's bigger than yourself
>Do you spend your money on traveling at all? i did that but i only enjoy it with massive amounts of alcohol and drugs which is fun but a net negative in your well being longterm. i do not enjoy social interaction sober at all.
>giving to other people i did that, which was very nice but even this joy fades at some point.
Connor Young
Money isn't the key to happiness user. You should know this by now. It's such a shallow struggle. Now you've realized the rewards of this pursuit are ultimately meaningless and you're lost, wondering what meaning you can derive elsewhere. You're a lucky man, OP. There are plenty of righteous causes for you to join.
I don't want to rant too long but just make sure to take your diet and exercise regiment seriously. You are training now. You are building self-respect. Building Rome. Don't let it crumble, m8.
>There are plenty of righteous causes for you to join. What do you do user?
Ayden Ortiz
life is suffering honestly user. try to set goals as you did and do your best to "rich" them that's the way to feel better but not to obtain true happiness cause happiness is actually within and only within you user. also stop jerking of it's not profesional
Camden Rogers
>>i only need x amount of money and i will be forever grateful and live in peace >that initial "x" now im up 100x Wait, so "x" is "set for life" amount of cash? And you have 100x?
You have enough money to be set for 100 lifetimes user?
Thomas Carter
>happiness is actually within and only within you user. i been hearing this for years now and i still dont get what it means or how its achieved.
i dont know how life can be worth anything without progression. thats the way i been living since a child. always striving to be better by the day and all this striving has damaged me beyond belief. i dont want to strive anything anymore. i just wanna be content with who i am and what i have but its easier said than done.
Aiden Cruz
basically if you leave everything you have now and just sit on your ass for the rest of your life than you won't feel any bette. imho you are on a great path on achiving that happiness cause what you said is basically the 1st step on how you should prossed
Matthew Clark
Dealing with this too, except that my net worth has crashed by holding altcoins. Still life changing money tho
I stopped going to the gym and it was the worst thing for me. You need a struggle. You need hardship to be happy. When money is taken care of, going to the gym 6 days a week is more important than ever. It’s a form of struggle that money can’t buy, lucky you, you still have a mountain to climb!
Beyond that, I wish I had cashed out and gotten involved in an art scene. Take an art class, start making friends in the creative scene. They live their lives to enjoy the world. Now that you don’t have to 9-5, that can be you too
Xavier King
i honestly dont know where to start though. i always tell myself im going to read some books regarding this and then i procrastinate it and get back to my daily routine. its so hard to change and confess that the way i been living is not the right way and basically confirming myself i have wasted years of my youth for nothing.
stoicism? budhism? what is key word i need to look for.
Gabriel Gutierrez
It's way easier to go to the gym though when you're all taken care of financially. Like I wouldn't mind at all spending an hour a day lifting or running if I didn't think it was cutting into the limited free time I get away from my shit boss.
Nolan Green
good post. the gym is helping me very much but its a short relief of 2 hours at most because i cant lift more without overreaching and overuse injuries starting to appear. maybe i need to implement cardio aswell.
Adrian Morgan
I try to learn about the world so that I can understand it. I think that our current way of life is meaningless, and I think that this is something people understand on a very fundamental albeit subconscious level. But I also believe that it's meaningless on purpose. The world has a story, just like anything else. And the modern paradigm is not a product of chaos, but will. WW2 was the catalyst for the modern world. Everything before it has become dishonorable. Again I feel like I'm ranting and not giving you a real straight answer. Sorry about that.
well i think you shouldn't stop trying, as you know that reading is good and that you can only get better by reading some good books. Never think like that, time is actuallz infinite and the more you see people do stuff that you could have done years ago the more you will hesitate. I'll tell you what my positionnis now cause it's probably the total opposite of yours cause i have read a large amount of books but haven't focused that much on money so i lack in it at this moment and i'm in no obligation to go and work a job "for society" only to get some money to inv. I'm still young btw and i believe i can achive everything and o will. I want 10k till the end of next 3months and now i'm at 50$ so let's see what happens
I know you ignored my question here user, but I'm just asking because if I understood you right, that's $100mm minimum, and I'd just like to ask how you made it to that point.
anxiety stems from uncertainty of the future, and depression stems from dwelling on the past. when you live in the present and not in your head, there is only the here and now
anyone have more quotes like that picture? feeling inspired
Parker Edwards
how can i lift heavy and regularly without hurting myself, especially when i have a nagging injuries from sports that aggravate everytime i try to get back into lifting? What do i do?
Lincoln Sullivan
will schizo posters ever fuck off back to their geriatric rest house
Aiden Green
pretty telling
Dominic Jackson
watch athleanX (jeff cavalier) on youtube, he's a PT and he's fucking ripped, he's an expert at rehabilitating and exercising despite injuries, the guy saved me in regards to my back and knee
Carson Price
She's a saggitarius, great compatibility with Aries. Just saying that that emblem could be interpreted in a variety of ways.
Nathaniel Moore
I snagged pic related from an user here earlier this month. Good stuff
Oh yeah I won't argue astrology is bullshit. Doesn't mean it can't be an Aries symbol and not necessarily anything related to satanism. Rothschild family is huge man. It's unlikely each is an evil baron or baroness. >What is the Kalergi plan?
Pretty obvious satire if you ask me. If you took this as some kind of hidden message you're just a Jow Forumstard looking for an excuse.
Dylan Myers
If you look from a christian view, sure it is. Almost everything is satanic in a christian view.
Dominic Scott
Based and truthpilled.
Juan Mitchell
that's fucking based and redpilled tho fuck straight white men
Gavin Sullivan
And btw, satanism is a term invented by catholics to accuse opposition. Same as today we have conspiracy-theorist made up by the CIA. Same shit. Luciferianism only existed as a literary movement to explore different metaphores and symbolism and had little to do with satanism or the worship of it. Satanism what you think of wasn't around untill the 60's when LaVey started the Church of Satan. And got more form during the years of Rock N Roll when bands started becoming more graphic in their expressions. But sure, astrology is a form of divination and God forbids any form of divination.
Austin Hughes
And using divination isn't ''satanic''. It's that you're putting whatever you use for divination over the wisdom and trust in God. Hence God forbids it, because you should be focussing your attention on him. Fucking christfags.
Andrew Jackson
It's not satire if they lead by example. Hollywood uses specific and recurring tropes in order to manipulate the minds of the masses. They're social engineering using pretty in your face brainwashing techniques disguised as entertainment.
Watch the fucking skit man. If you can't tell that that's satire then you're absolutely retarded. I agree 9/11 was likely an inside job, I agree hollywood is a weird and perverted place. But that was 100% satire.
Jeremiah Adams
Anyone who watches hollywood crap deserves to get brainwashed anyway. Fucking idiots. Everything in media, whether that's Entertainment or advertising is meant to brainwash you. It's meant to stimulate a message in repitition to the point you believe it and act on it. The dumb, deaf and blind have always been in need to believe in propaganda. Stop wasting your time on this petty shit.
Connor Ward
You're wrong about everything and the masses are being led to the slaughter. I guess you can't put it together, whatever. Or worse you don't give a shit about anything but yourself.
>this is obvious satire lmao you're a conspiracy theorist Jow Forumstard, also the CIA pushed the term conspiracy theory which is the same as xians crying wolf about satanism, and also hollywood is designed to brainwash the public (but it's still filtered through a lens of satire tho so its all good with me) and I don't partake in mainstream media therefore everyone who does is a brainless idiot not worthy of truth or mental autonomy
Am I getting this right? And btw, LaVeyan Satanism has absolutely nothing to do with what I'm talking about. I truly don't give a shit about LaVey.
What else is new? It's been happening for thousands of years time and time again. What do you want? Everyone to get up and start singing combaya, holding hands with eachother? The world is a vile and disgusting place full deception and most people that is 99% of the population would much rather live in their illusions than confront them. That's always been the case. Or you can be like the fucking idiots on eightchan and start raiding Mosque's and Synagogues shouting Deus Vult thinking you're actually contributing to the solution and not the problem. It fucking is satire. And yes, you are a fucking Jow Forumstard if you want to find a hidden message in it. You're simply looking for an excuse to keep your jewish overlord view of the world. Yes you are a goddam fucking retard if you're watching mainstream media.
Henry Martin
You wouldn't even fucking know what Satanism is. You fucking christfags are all the same. It's always demons, sun worship and satanism. You couldn't tell fact from fiction if I presented it to you on a golden fucking platter with a bow wrapped around it. Watching some video's on youtube, reading a book or consuming media in general that's presented to give a worldview, philosophy or religious perspective isn't autonomic thinking. That's the opposite. You're limiting your autonomy. Try and create coherent philosophies of the world without consuming anything at all but trough observation of the world as it is, presented to you with your own eyes. No media whatsoever.
You think spreading some idea's on the web is autonomy? Most people can't make their fuckings minds up about anything and will just go with whomever SOUNDS more credible. They'll swing their pov from one to another given who presented the last argument.
Dig another rabbit hole and dissapear into it. Time wasted. Dig another rabbit hole.
Cameron Taylor
You can't, it's the curse of not being a 2 digits iq nigger
