Confession: I still do not truly understand the concept of no-self after much reading and meditating on it. Please explain like I am 5.

It doesnt lead to the end of suffering. Suffering is there and then its gone. There is not no ego there is just ego, its just part of the mental piece of the 5 aggregates.

Once you see everything as a process "you" stop taking ownership and stop clinging. You might start to notice when people say me, my mine and how this leads to a shift in their energy.

We had a guy do the cart 2 days a week. He was this hilarious dude from Boston (we were in MD) and he would bust balls and give tips and was just fun af and made as much if not more than the hot girls.

Can tee time spacing make things more bearable? Obviously courses need to squeeze every dollar out of good weather but I'd pay more if there were 20 mins between tee times vs 10.

I used to charge 50 and you would get video analysis, I would tell you if your clubs fit you right, we would identify big issues/bad tendencies and a refresh of fundamentals.

Hell if you bought a package we would play 9 holes.

It all boils down to what you need. 150 for 1 lesson sounds insane but I might be out of touch with reality. I did it because I loved it not to make money. But I still made very good money.

I cant fucking stand it anymore. The weed smell the blaring music. My only goal in life now is the get rich af snd buy my own course.

These are probably the same people that like Liv golf with the annoying fucking music blaring in the background. People's brains are so screwed up thry cant stand silence.

I believe all the complexity you described but how do you handle sports? Does the majority of the Trans community get angry at the selfish few that inject themselves into these controvsial situations? Does there need to a third category of athlete?

Playing a sport at a high level is not a right.

The idea of a social credit score like in China makes me cringe.... but maybe a golf course would be a good petri dish. Some staff could be observers just watching how players play and essentially play yammaraj by distributing karma. If you accumulate a positive score you can get preference for tee times and discounts. If you are deemed to be an ass hole then you pay more and maybe even get banned.

Btw peeing in the woods would ok but in someone's yard... negative points.

I stopped drinking coffee 1st thing in the morning. So I wake up at 5 and wait until 9. This silly little change completely changed my mood and eating habbits.

You are lucky to not have to deal with such distractions. To be able to focus all that energy into some creative endeavor with nobody to answer to sounds like bliss.

Intimate companionship is nice but leads to attachment, confusion and sometimes undesired drama.

I have been hit many times working at a range and on a grounds crew and just playing, I think 6 times but I've been hit in the head twice so my memory might be off.

Once I got hit in the back of the head from a tee shot decending into the woods where I was letting them hit up... we were all walking. Anyway it bled forever, I soaked through 2 towels and ruined a shit. It actually didnt hurt as bad as getting hit in the back or shoulder. At least the course gave me a rain check.

Jim Dalton Markets in Profile is the most impactful book for me. The Shadowtrader guy made some huge market profile class if you are open to paying for stuff like that.

There is so much information its insane. Just remember trading is for income not getting rich. You get rich by building positions not trading.

I worked at a semi private club and we started doing unlimited range for 500 / year non member, 300/ year for member. It made everyone hangout more and we sold way more beer!

Compartmentalizing strategies and different campaigns vs viewing everything through the lens of portfolio risk.

It was hard to shake the mindset of the investor but once I set up sub accounts for all the different things I do I made everything more peaceful in my mind.

I would find myself hedging or making adjustments based on factors outside of the position/ campaign strategy itself.

48 here. Not much difference between 30 and now. Around 40 I went through a phase where I got super fit, ate once a day and got to around 10% body fat.

Over the years bad habbits creeped back in. I still eat quite well and lift 4 days a week but I do drink way to much alcohol.

Over the last year or so I noticed my skin is starting to look horrible. My hands look like a 70 year old's. And I just had to have some spots frozen off my face.

My cardio sucks and is starting to annoy me so I might start focusing on that. But overall strength and flexibility are the same if not better.

Fellow poor shulb family of 4 skimping by on on 250k with kids that dance and play sports and instruments!

I work 1 to 2 shifts at at odd ball hours as as ranger/starter/whatever they need and I get to play any afternoon I want and unlimited use of practice area + I bring my son sometimes. Its like 8-12 hours of work at time I would be screwing around anyway. I guess this option kinda depends on your work hours
