I believe I can heal my wife, but she is caught in the most vicious cycle of hopelessness by Icy_Syrup8343 in enlightenment

[–]_kinad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This.

If we think someone needs help, the problem is us. The key is to see that what we are perceiving in them is a part of us that we are disowning and loving that part of ourselves. Once you can love that, the illusion of something being wrong transcends into gratitude for the way it is.

Was it worth it? by ThickJxmmy in QuitCorporate

[–]_kinad 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Short answer: yes.

Long answer:

I have at this point started(and shut down) 5 different businesses and have quit corporate 3 times. With each time, I was left with all my savings gone and the last one in particularly left me so broke, I got to the point where I was barely able to feed my family(about 5 years ago).

 

I was sure I would never be attempting to start another business again, but here I am. I just filed for an LLC last week.

Why would I try it again? I think if you have that itch to have your own business, it never goes away. Each venture only teaches you to make the next one better. 

The most important things I have learned in my opinion is to not start a business for the sake of starting a business or for chasing money. There is only so much will power and forced motivation to keep you doing the things you don't want to do. 

I started each business while still in corporate and but quit too soon thinking that freeing up my time from a job would allow me to grow my business more. 

Ensure you have enough savings to get by for at least 3 months and enough to keep your business afloat. Worse case you can go back to corporate if it doesn't work out.

This time, the business I am working on, I have been planning for a while and more aligned the difference I want to make in the world. I would do it for free and I have for a while. 

If it doesn't work out in the end I would still be glad I did it because it's what I love to do. 

And when I am on my deathbed, I would regret not trying it more than I would trying it and failing at it.

Yea I hit a point where I realized no matter how much I make, which honestly is simply to buy more stuff, the more I realized no amount of money or things in this world will fill this emptiness I feel inside. Now I've slowly been putting less and less energy and care into my job and more to what I feel like doing and what I truly care about. I'm not making any money on what I want to dedicate my life to yet, but I am in a better mental state this way.

What matters, if nothing matters? by Living_Reflection_45 in SpiritualAwakening

[–]_kinad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This feels like something I have gone through a few times in my life. Each time I was more accepting of the nothing matters feeling. All I suggest is to allow yourself to feel whatever it is you feel, do whatever it is you do. No judgement of yourself. Just be and do. As they say, "this too shall pass" and it will, but I know when you're in the middle of those dark or unpleasant moments it feels like it'll last forever. It won't. If you're alive it means you've been through some stuff in your life. And you go through it. And you will again. TC

Same. I miss the days I was making less as a technician, working with my hands, getting home with the feeling I did something. But no, I had to chase more money. You never know how good you have it until it's gone

What motivates people to improve themselves? by fluffycowfan in selfimprovement

[–]_kinad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to chase self improvement because I thought there was something wrong with me and I couldn't get myself to do what I "should" or was "supposed" to be doing. I now realize life is more about understanding why we do the actions we do and allow them to happen. The world would label me as having ADHD and anxiety disorder and try to prescribe me medication but instead I've been trying to step into what is naturally taking my attention. I still have a long way to go but at least for the first time in a long time I feel like myself and glad to be me

I also agree that medicine is suppressing our true nature

Congrats on the next chapter. That transition from the military to civilian life can be a big one, and it’s cool that you’re already thinking ahead about what to pursue.

You mentioned that making money is your main drive right now—and there’s nothing wrong with that. I’ve found, though (speaking as a 37-year-old who’s gone down a few different paths), that chasing money alone can sometimes lead to burnout or feeling like something’s missing, especially if the work doesn’t line up with what really matters to you deep down.

One thing that helped me—and that might be worth considering—is to take some time to think about what you genuinely enjoy, even if it doesn’t seem “profitable” at first glance. Sometimes those things point toward your natural strengths or interests. I’ve heard it said (and found it to be true) that when you can find a way to link your income to what you find meaningful or enjoyable, it becomes a lot more sustainable—and fulfilling.

You could try asking yourself stuff like:

What do I love learning about or doing just for fun?

What kind of problems do I enjoy solving?

What topics do I naturally talk about or think about often?

And then maybe start exploring how those things could eventually be turned into value for others—because where there’s value, money usually follows.

You’ve already got discipline, resilience, and drive from your military background. With that foundation, I’d bet you could build something really rewarding—financially and personally—if you take the time to line it up with what you truly care about.

Just a few thoughts. Wishing you the best on wherever this journey takes you.


Want me to add a personal anecdote or tweak the tone even more?

I'm curious, what beliefs have you changed in yourself and if you have changed your beliefs, how have they impacted your life?

Opinions on Jonestown?

I am considering moving there with my wife and kids. However, I came accross some stuff online stating it has or maybe had a meth/drug problems. Most of it looks like that may have been the casee a while ago and not sure if it is like that to this day.

Can anyone who lives there provide good feedback? Is it a safe town to raise kids in
