NO ONE HAS A GUN TO YOUR HEAD “Nothing is noble if it’s done unwillingly or under compulsion. Every noble deed is voluntary.” —SENECA, MORAL LETTERS, 66.16b You don’t have to do the right thing. You always have the option to be selfish, rude, awful, shortsighted, pedantic, evil, or stupid. In fact, sometimes there are incentives to break bad. Certainly, not every criminal gets caught. But how does this line of thinking usually work out for people? What’s that life like? You don’t have to do the right thing, just as you don’t have to do your duty. You get to. You want to.
I'm always studying, working, working out or learning russian so when I eat, I like to watch something to unwind, distract my brain from anxious thoughts. Music is good but it does not stop my constant overthinking and I cannot exactly meditate and eat at the same time.
Day 17. Long gym session and I am super tired. Worked a bit and maybe I'll work some more. Reason for starting nofap Well... porn is shit and it makes you an addict. There is literally nothing positive about it. So, obviously I want to rid myself from this habit. Main side effects from years (20+) of pmo: desensitization, false sexuality compulsions, sexual stress, low motivation to interact with the opposite sex and much much more. Reason for continuing Since I first started challenging myself with nofap, I actually noticed that my sexuality is reverting back to normal. My personal issue is hocd and I can clearly see it fading. That's the main reason I am still here and why I will press on and continue until I completely remove pmo from my life. Goals My goals are to completely eradicate my hocd, just feel more in life and make myself feel Hetairos 2.0 - an new and upgraded version of who I am currently!
Hey guys, i recently saw this video about one of my favourite stories of all time, in short the story tells you to move forward do not stop. DO NOT GIVE UP! PLEASE watch this 2 min about the story and the lesson that i carry with myself.
People think crime and violence is some kind of joke, something cool to watch on tv, a fantasy. It's sick. Real living is in righteousness, goodness and joy.
It was great seeing most of the people taking the exercise, i would like everyone who didn't, also try to do it.
“Receive without pride, let go without attachment.” —MARCUS AURELIUS, MEDITATIONS, 8.33 In the midst of the breakdown of the Roman Republic, during the civil war between Pompey and Caesar, Pompey made the decision to give control of the military fleet to Cato. It was a massive honor and hugely powerful position. But then a few days later, responding to the protests of his jealous inner circle, Pompey reversed his decision and took the command away. It could have been seen as an enormous public humiliation—to be given a promotion and then have it taken away. The record shows that Cato’s reaction was basically nothing. He responded to the honor and the dishonor the same way: with indifference and acceptance. He certainly didn’t let it affect his support for the cause. In fact, after the snub, he worked to rally the soldiers before battle with inspirational speeches—the very men who should have been under his command. That’s what Marcus is saying. Do not take the slights of the day personally—or the exciting rewards and recognitions either, especially when duty has assigned you an important cause. Trivial details like the rise and fall of your position say nothing about you as a person. Only your behavior—as Cato’s did— will.
Day 23 of Spartan Challenge, Day 42 of current streak. Honing in on 30 and 50 days respectively. Wakeup ‘wood’ is biggest temptation at the moment. I get up to ignore it, but stilll… Keep pushing, keeping short term targets of 30 /50 days in mind Good Luck to us all.
