I have something new to add to this.I just did it. If you think you’re way into something l, you’re bound to think your way out of it. If you want certainty in something, it doesn’t come from understanding the reasons behind it, rather, it comes from a quick and simple answer of “I want it, so I’ll get it.”. If you fail, don’t consider it as a fail, consider it as a first attempt, and then have your second attempt at it.
Of course, if you don’t want it anymore, then it’s obvious to quit, so long as you understand that what you don’t want is the goal itself, not the process towards it.
If you confuse the process towards your desired goal with the goal itself, you are bound to quit often, since you see the steps towards the goal as hellish, and if you end up thinking that all that there will be in the end is hell, rather than heaven, then you WILL quit. So, remind yourself, every, single, day, what it is that you want out of all of this.
It’s also reasonable to determine whether or not if your goal is worth the suffering, but that doesn’t mean that you’re weak, it’s just that you’re not aiming high enough for something that is worth the pain that comes along with it.
This was a stupid lie I said. I didn’t actually aspire for it, I just thought too much and believed that it was ‘the right thing to do’. Money is not my priority at all, especially right now.Yeah, I admit that this place is fun and good. However, I do plan to one day leave it for good after I’ve proven something, (which should be soon hopefully).
The final thing I will complete on this tread specifically is make 6 figures through multiple streams of income after reaching halfway through the year, (game design will probably be the major catalyst for that).
Afterwards, I’ll pay off all my school fees before graduation, and still have enough money left over to continue studying again, but engineering and physics, in the same university as @Hivaclibtibcharkwa and Ozaif from HighSchool, as a means of competition and challenge of seeing who has the more superior mind.
Of course, I’ll be trying to grow my superior mind as I make money, but not too much since I want to focus about the money first and grow my mind in the university itself later, (I need the money first and foremost).
No, I understand where you’re coming from now.Hamza made a really informative video today which is very business-oriented towards generating money through different ways of marketing. Idk if you have seen it yet, but I plan to do something similar through starting a YouTube channel. Personally I like Maths a lot and whilst I left school early, I still have the knowledge to be able to make videos related to all levels of HSC Maths and even Years 7-10 (provided that I can restudy some things).
It's good that you're on the self-improvement grind as well - I think many people seem to deter from Hamza as a small proportion of what he says could be considered controversial (especially his belief that there is a war on masculinity).
I don't think you're failing - having connections or speaking with other people, be it online, and/or in person, is indispensable for happiness IMO. Keep up the grind but don't put yourself down too much brother!
I’m not even going to bother to finishing rereading what I said. The first thing that came out of my mouth was again just lies. I wasn’t thinking for myself, I was just being ‘logical/rational’ rather than being sensible and genuine.I appreciate the concern with the last statement, but I have something’s to specify:
1 - Balance is bullsh*t, don’t worry about having the moments for ‘hobbies’, you’re alive for purpose, not your consumerism. If your hobby is to create, then understand why you’re creating - what requirement does it fit towards your ultimate dream.
And 2 - the ‘self’ in self improvement is ironically the part that’s making you need improvement in your mental health in the first place. You don’t matter in the grand scheme of things, at least not yet. However, as I mentioned, “not yet”. You CAN matter in the grand scheme of things, but you got to stop thinking of yourself, and BECOME the big picture, not ‘the guy who is on self-improvement’.
You CAN matter in the grand scheme of things, BECAUSE OF THE INDISPUTABLE FACT, THAT ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!!!

I’m back. Total money made:Anyways, I think I’ve done enough updating in real time now, I’ll come back in half a year or something I guess for the time I will update the total amount of money I have made.
(School is nearly done for the year, so it’s going to really take off soon)
I realised that The Ideal is actually just a normal person at their core.I have to be focused on order to become my ideal, that means no iPhone unless when absolutely necessary.
I'm glad you've found your way forward. There really isn't something which truly defines what "the ideal" life is, or person. You can change yourself to be in the position of someone you're not, but at what cost or sacrifices? Friends and family? Personal values/morals? Your own mental health?I realised that The Ideal is actually just a normal person at their core.
I’m going to ‘live life’, and then figure things out sensibly as for what to do in it.
I expect my view of existence to mature the more I engage with the world, however, I hope it won’t change often, since I want to be passionate/devoted enough to be unwavering - that means little distractions and impulses towards doing something else, since things that matter to me will be in my viewpoint consistently enough for my whole life to end up revolving around it.
When I refer to The Ideal and The Ideal World, I’m referring to the two biggest aims I have for myself. It’s just a very complicated journey in order to figure out the very essence of these things that you want. I can’t explain everything, but I recommend everyone to aspire towards whatever inspires them, and put their heart and soul into it.I'm glad you've found your way forward.

At the end of the day, perhaps it is more sensible especially as young people, to naturally go through life with a goal and a plan to get there. Opportunities are sure to come up along the way, which you can embrace based on how much this would contribute towards your "final destination". I also think only recently leaving school (I'd call somewhere between 2-5 years pretty recent), we haven't really had much time to find ourselves and understand how the world works amidst all of the study.
I'm so sorry, your life must be so melancholicMy greatest achievement:

Thank you so much, I’m actually glad someone read all that!i genuinely (and take this as a compliment please) don't know whether to be mortified that someone is tracking their life on an hsc forum for basically a year now, or to be so damn impressed that you've achieved all this
this is where i'd make a joke about "when I grow up I wanna be you", but I don't want to be back here on BoS after two years making random posts, sooooo.... anyways, these are actually really amazing goals that I'd love to hit one day too![]()
