    Ah, yes. Great move financially, health-wise too. But I'll have to find a new thrill now, haha.

    Accountability friends to support each other as we build businesses

    ^^ I'll just add something I heard a long time ago and it stayed with me: "If you want to have good friends, be a good friend." This one sentence has served me well throughout my life. As mentioned in previous comments though, having boundaries is important - especially with people who are...

    Yeah! You picked a nice place to live, lol. I'm about 20-30 minutes from you, depending on the traffic on the 405 :happy:

    Welcome, Justin! I have a few friends in software development and it definitely does pay the bills well. Those patterns can be rectified and shouldn't stop you from building anything. The music and family, you probably want to hang on to those. :p

    [--Verse 3--] This verse is about temperance and having the right perspective. Our views determine our beliefs, our beliefs shape our behavior, and our behavior determines the outcome we create. If you want to change the outcome, the intelligent thing to do is to examine your views. How is...

    [--Verse 2--] This one is about polarity and the relative nature of reality. If you've noticed, the human mind understands by comparison. I won't know what 'rich' is if there is no 'poor'. Likewise, an understanding of 'tall' won't exist in my mind without an understanding of 'short'. The same...

    This. Even when you take the test to get your motorcycle riding license, there's a question in there about the percentage of accidents motorcycle riders experience that is NOT the rider's fault. It's something like 97% (or somewhere around that number) if I remember correctly. If for some...

    Saw this just moments ago and came to post it here, but you beat me to it. I know exactly where this happened. NUTS to be going that fast on those streets.

    I've been riding for about 2 years now, had some close calls—none of which were my fault. Luckily, I've never had any accidents. BUT I have seen MANY... pretty bad ones too. Anyway, listed my bike for sale a few weeks ago. I got what I wanted out of the ride, and it was fun. Now I'm just over it...

    Appreciate the interest! Yes—without revealing too much so that this doesn't become an ad that goes against the forum rules—the book brings together philosophy and entrepreneurship to discuss HOW the human being experiences reality and WHY some people see a world others don't, a world that...

    Thank you! I think you're spot on about Napoleon Hill being ahead of his time. He has another book called Outwitting the Devil, where he actually didn't release it until YEARS after he wrote it because he felt society wasn't ready to hear the message in it. That one's actually one of my favorite...

    Good for you for studying books like the ones you have at your age. You're already on the right path, so I won't say much other than this: Those people are not your enemy. They want what's best for you, and that's why they're telling you what they are. However, that doesn't mean they're right...

    Aren't you scared ?

    HOT! 
    @Speed112 's post was spot on. First, what you're experiencing is natural. You're human - humans experience fear, doubt, and insecurity. You can't choose what happens, but you can choose how you view what happens - and with that, you can choose which fears you want to put behind you to push...

    Something that's made a profound impact on my life is the book, Tao Te Ching—which roughly translates to The Book of the Way. This book is sometimes labeled as a book of poetry or a religious book, but to me, it's a book on mindset. A classic manual on the art of living, filled with deep...

    Agreed. And being human, we're all susceptible to programming/conditioning. Thankfully, with a little bit of awareness, we can make sure the things we're entertaining are of a positive nature. A good question I often reflect on is: What am I NOT seeing about myself?

    Yes, absolutely. I know many people today who feel stuck by their past experiences, trapped by the story they tell themselves about what happened. On the outside, these dudes seem like tough guys. Some even seem like they got their lives together. Make good money. Family. House. Cars. Etc. But...
