I find this forum a special place. I have some kind of emotional attachement to it.
So I decided I would share some of my life experience. I have tried before, but in hindsight, I was not developed yet (and I was 31 when I joined the forum, I am 38 now).
Maybe this will inspire some of you to ... well, just inspire. You don't have to do anything...
I read the Millionaire Fastlane in 2011, I think. I stole it from the internet... yes... but bought the original kindle and paperback since, also shared this book and 'the message' on numerous occassions, so a good act might be a result of a not really great one...
Anyway, I found what I have been looking for. And this is not the Fastlane. While a really great concept, and a useful tool to living fully. Why would we wait till rich or achieving the Fastlane to feel rich and free... And to enjoy life fully.
This makes absolutely no sense to me now.
I am smart now, in hindsight, yes. But I am also, like I wrote above, sharing to, maybe inspire someone, as I have been inspired by this forum, the Book (not the Bible, TMF hahaha), by countless testimonials...
I am not a preacher (sometimes I may sound like one). I am not a guru or anything. If I wanted to attach a label on my forehead, so everyone feels more comfortable, I could call myself a 'leader', of my own life...
Less vauge. More 'meat'. I will try.
Following +3 years of therapy (integrative psychotherapy to be more specific - here in Ireland), some 1.5 year ago I started slowly, in parrallel to the therapy, doing breathwork (Wim Hof for me, but now SOMA too, there is also Holothropic which can cause effects like taking a specific pill). I stumbled upon Joe Dispenza's book You Are The Placebo in Sep 2021. Started doing his meditations around Apr 2022 and doing them daily.
Now I wake up at 4AM, meditate for 1.5-2hrs each day every day.
What does it have to do with this forum / the Fastlane?
I don't know. It might help someone struggling, as I was struggling.
Now I feel wealthy even though my bank account is almost the same as it was 2 years ago.
I feel free, wealthy, because I exercise daily feeling freedom and wealth... This is my answer to 'the Question'.
As with everything. In a simplistic way (event) I came to the conclusion, I have to exercise feeling free to feel free. Sounds mechanistic? Maybe a bit. But why wait for an external event to make me free or 'happy'( I feel happiness is overrated and not that important, finding meaning in the smallest actions is what is really important). Why wait for an external event to allow ourselves to feel *this or that (*whatever you want to feel)
We want to feel loved? Exercise feeling loved.
Want to feel wealthy? Exercise feeling wealthy.
The only warning is this is my experience. I have certain past, my grandparents survived mass ... well I spare you this but atrocities we cannot even imagine... My experience comes after 3+ years of therapy, of almost a year of daily, early morning 4-5 AM, meditations, and then daily exercising feeling positive and inspired... There is more to that but I wanted this to be short.
To finish, I wanted to share a story that inspired me a lot. It still does, and I rewatch it when I need inspiration.
I hope this message helps someone.
Have a Great Day and Life!
