Awesome to see others on the forum really taking success seriously. You definitely have to be ready to actually follow through. I mean, everybody wants success.
For me personally, I started to make a concious effort after I lost my job on Jan 4 2015.
But, it wasnāt until I got connected well in the health care system here, got the income support I needed, finally got the proper medication and got out of debt until I made real change.
Big change started to happen after the proper medication got put into place in September 2018. But, it wasnāt until Summer 2019 I REALLY started kicking ass. Summer 2019 I finally started to consider myself successful.
Even though I was still on disability income support and still am. Success is mostly a mindset. Give that mindset time and your finances will increase drastically.
Finaces are just 1 point, and usually the only point people consider when thinking of success.
From a book I read called āThe Miracle Morningā by Hal Elrod, it claimed there are 10 aspects of success and I found it hard to disagred. Iāll post a pic if I can find it.
But, I was already successful in the happiness department, same with family and significant other. Mind you, these werenāt level 10 yet as the book implies, but they were all at least solid 5-6 after summer 2019.

Makes a lot of good points. Like every other video. Isnt it SUCH a coincidence that all this stuff happening to men and suchā¦well, aint it weird that Porn started coming around that time? Divorce rates, health and mental issues, etc. Conspiracy, maybe?

Affirmation: NoFao does bot mean you will never see temptations again; It hust means that when they do come, you will not give in.
Gratitude: I did not relapse when some jackass decides to out NSFW stuff on my favorite Reddit Subs. Seriously, Anti Porn subs got them trolls constantly putting stuff up. No matter, close the pic or scroll past it.
Urges: as mentioned above. Sall good, life goes on and I dont PMO.
Progress: Weekend work. Killing it! Good stuff! Lets keep at it.
Notes: remember, om this path you will Still stumble across triggers and NSFW stuff. Accept that reality. Even if you live out in the woods or at a temple for the rest of your life, these things will happen. Every day is a tightknit battle against the primal desires that the āDeep Stateā or the shadow groups use to control ya. A sedated man is an easily controlled man. See the many admirers of Cam girls and Twitch streamers. Fight the urge and continue. Brush off the triggers and live. It gets better. Promise.

Great to hear your progress!
What are you doing for weekend work/killing it? Iām doing the same with following income schoolās project 24 blog course, passive income from fiverr, have been into android app dev using app builders for 2 months, and just getting into redbubble.
I know the most successful say focus on 1-2 things and be the best you can be in that niche. However, while my Iām truly focusing on my blog, fiverr is already built (have some 1 time tasks to do but no biggie, and android app dev/red bubble are more experimenting.
Just interested in what youāre pursuing if entrepreneurship at all, maybe even an online hustle like myself.
I was probably overexaggerating. Regardless, I was referring to the plethora of work I have to do, such as preparing for a TDY, MMA, Working out and trying to lose weight, taxes, NoFap, meditation, etc. Could do better, but I am grateful for being in an alright position.
I wouldnāt say youāre overexaggerating. Had to Google TDY. Sounds like you are indeed killing it. Mine is mostly mental work, I mean I do try and get my 10k steps in per day but thatās pretty much my only exercise.
Youāre killing it at both physical and mental work. Good job! Donāt under sell yourself. I know thatās something I personally have to work on.
Different paths, but both following our dreams and focusing on achieving happiness above all else. Sounds like we must be doing something right.
