Im 19 years old and the main thing I learned so far is; When you give, dont expect to receive.
Thank my dear 😘
yes, be really careful who you give to, protect yourself
i found this video by questioning why im numb. i wanted to know why, and it was because I feel that i dont do anything meaningful to me. I started to ask everyone I know but they only told me theirs and why im wrong. I know now that I must find it on my own
@@luider8795 sounds like a journey.
it's been 2 years now, are you still alive my friend? how's life going?
From my commonplace book.
• Life needs to be lived to be understood
• Life is filled with traps. Be careful, not paranoid. Fear is one of the traps
• Life can get really really bad and really really good, much worse or better than you can ever imagine. A multidimensional spectrum.
• To live a good life
○ Learn how life works.
○ Learn how you work.
○ Learn how you fit into life. Customize life to yourself.
1. Be true to yourself.
a. Figure out life for yourself. Do something new.
b. Why am I here? What am I here to do?
i. Turn inwards to ask questions about life.
2. Trap of ideology. Falling into belief systems other people have invented. Defending and fighting for those.
a. Stay open like a child.
b. The individual and the collective are intertwined. Don't let yourself be blindly programmed.
c. Quality of life will depend on how you use your mind. So master your mind. Take responsibility for it instead of creating a story or blaming or being victimized. How is your mind creating the situation you're in?
3. Your mind is projecting and creating reality. It is interwoven with physical reality.
a. Thoughts, emotions, ideology, belief systems create reality. Mind is generating reality.
4. Take the process of learning and understanding seriously. This is the master key to life.
a. You will never understand how life works by subscribing to ideology or belief systems.
b. Wonder about what anything and everything is. What is a friendship? What is a tree? What is its role? ....
c. Cultivate independence of mind. Figure out life. Question everything and everyone and yourself.
d. The value of questioning is not to get the answer, but to go through the process of questioning. That's why you can't just get answers to life from somebody and it's done.
5. Curiosity.
a. Develop curiosity about everything. Become your own life long learner and educator. Become an audodidact.
6. Passion.
a. The worst thing that can happen is you take life for granted.
7. Have something in your life that you're deeply passionate about.
a. Many things. Be so passionate about everything that you can. Then hone it down to only a couple of things you will devote your life to.
b. Passion snowballs. You generate passion.
c. Work on your own terms. Create a Life Purpose for yourself. You create meaning.
8. Desire is far more important than knowing how to do something.
a. Purify the quality of your desire.
b. What do I want? What do I desire out of life? What am I passionate about? How can I be more passionate about life?
c. If you're not proactively pursuing a passionate life, you're going to by default get a passionless life.
9. Reality is subjective.
a. Be in touch with your feelings. Be in touch with how reality feels.
b. Spend time feeling deeply. Feel everything. Connect with your intuition.
c. Recognize how amazing it is to be alive.
10. Make commitment to always be figuring it out. Commit to living a good life.
a. How do I live a good life? What is meaningful to me? What do I want out of life?
b. Common trap: being hyper-logical, learning safely from a distance like a scientist. You can't do that with life. You're plugged into life, you can't act like a scientist.
i. Don't treat life as logic is the ultimate lens.
11. Life is highly complex. There are usually no clear answers. That's why it's so interesting.
a. Love the complexity of life.
12. Emotions are more powerful than logic.
a. Feel good in your body, feel good about your life.
b. All things that we want (satisfaction, happiness) are not logical, but emotional. So feel life.
c. When you're suffering, feel deeper into it. Generally, feel deeper into negative emotions, it will help you feel deeper into positive ones.
13. Face problems and difficulties head on, instead of trying to avoid them.
a. Commitment to maximum, radical self-honesty. Always be honest with yourself. Otherwise you will deceive yourself and it will take you in a wrong direction in life.
b. If you don't have truth about a situation, you have nothing.
14. Take truth really seriously.
a. Truth is what everything is, all that is. Truth is reality. If something isn't true, it isn't real. If it isn't real, it doesn't exist in your experience. It is literally nothing.
b. Do I want to be on the side of truth or bullshitting yourself and others?
c. Be committed to truth. Sometimes the truth will not be in your interest.
d. You can't lie to others and be truthful to yourself.
15. Life is deeply counter-intuitive.
a. Things often work the opposite way of what you initially think how they work.
16. Be proactive.
a. Be in the driver's seat, not in the back seat of your life.
b. You're here, be engaged in life. Find something to enjoy. You can build a career in any field.
c. The bottleneck in any career is your passion. If you want to make a lot of money, find something that you can pour thousand of hours into.
17. Develop mastery.
a. Pick something or two and master it.
b. Develop skill in a field. Be useful to mankind.
c. You can be useful to society in its terms or on your terms.
d. Spend decades working on something and then you can produce something people will pay you for. The better you get, the more valuable your skillset is.
18. Money gives you freedom.
a. Always work on some career related project through your life.
b. Never let the phrase "I don't know how stop you". All you need is desire and ambition. Use the desire to research, learn and figure out how.
19. Human beings are different.
a. If you observe people for half-hour in a crowded place, you're going to notice how different people's bodies are different. Then translate that to understand how people are different in their minds.
b. People's minds are so different, it is as if they are living in a different reality.
i. Different personalities, genetics, brain chemistry, ideologies, software in their minds
ii. Different levels of ambition, levels of motivation, fear profiles, neuroses, energy levels, moods
iii. Different stages of development, levels of consciousness, access to different aspects of reality
c. Customize life for yourself, because you are also different.
d. Advice isn't the same for everybody. You don't know who you are as a personality. Go through a deep process of discovery of yourself as a personality.
20. You were born into a culture. This culture has been indoctrinating you. Your mind has already been programmed.
a. Epistemic challenge of figuring out of what's true and what isn't. Deconstructing everything you've learned.
b. All that programming is keeping you from living a free and open life.
21. Heal your traumas, both minor and major.
a. All of us have traumas.
b. The earlier in your life you experienced a trauma, the deeper it is and the harder to heal.
c. Trauma is like a weight dragging you down through life.
d. Healing possibilities:
i. Therapist
ii. Psychedelics
iii. Introspection, contemplation, journaling by yourself
iv. Talking it out with an intimate partner
v. Hire people, coaches, psychics
e. If you don't heal, you're going to spend your life desperately trying to fulfill your unhealed needs.
22. Health
a. Your culture will feed you garbage and poison and you won't be able to feel your mind and body.
b. Learn proper nutrition.
i. Read books about nutrition.
ii. Eat whole foods, vegetables, fruits, high quality meats and fats.
iii. Drink purified, high quality water.
iv. Don't consume products that contain mercury and led.
c. Learn to exercise.
23. Reality is not a physical system, it's consciousness.
a. Everything is made out of consciousness.
b. Subject is not separate from the object. You're meshed in with reality, not separated from it.
c. You have direct access to reality itself.
d. No.1 key to living a good life: be more conscious.
e. Reality is infinite states of consciousness, you can be in many different states, from depressed to happy.
f. The more conscious you are, the more you understand how everything truly is. The less conscious you are, the more you live in a lie.
24. Life is about two forces: fear vs love, selfishness vs selflessness
a. This is what all life boils down to. Your life, all humanity's life runs on fear and love.
b. In your life, notice that you're doing everything either out of fear or love.
c. When you don't get enough love, you recoil and go into fear. Life is a training ground to teach you how to love and how to be selfless.
d. Love is a fundamental feature of reality.
e. The quality of your life depends how much you will give in to fear versus how much you will pursue love.
f. Love life more and more and more. That requires being more and more and more selfless.
g. The more selfless you are in life, the better your life will be. The more selfish you are in life, the worse your life will be.
h. Radiate love on your terms. How are you going to manifest your love?
25. Life is like a sandbox game. (e.g. Minecraft) You get thrown into this world, and you get to decide what you're going to do.
a. There is no good and bad, meaning is constructed.
b. Life is an experiment in creativity.
c. Don't judge others' creations, focus on your own.
d. When you hit the limit of love. Find out how to love even more. Raise your ceiling for love and selflessness. Keep doing that until you ace life.
26. Spirituality
a. The biggest trap is ideology and belief.
b. Derive the answers for yourself.
c. Test ideas through trial and error.
d. Gain infinite self understanding.
e. Direct experience is king. There is nothing to reality but experience. Anything real is experienced.
f. Turn your life into a scientific experiment, to figure out what is reality, consciousness, life and how to life a good life.
g. Get serious about life. Metaphysically serious.
i. You can figure out the universe. All that it requires is a radically open mind, curiosity/passion and the desire to do it.
27. The biggest obstacle is culture and your beliefs and programming, along with personal self-deception. (see Leo's videos on self-deception)
thank you , you nailed it , keep it doing , benefit for yourself and others
there's so much i dont know where to even start!
@@jurijjukic383 Wow! So interesting, would like to hear more of it. Do you have Instagram/twitter or somewhere we can connect?
@@spirituality5272 Watch the video. He just summarized the video for his commonplace book
When I started taking these things seriously I was able to get myself off heroin after 5 years being on and off I managed to keep it a secret the whole time but I was everything about me was starting to die including my body. After finding this channel I slowly began taking responsibility for where I found myself, and after enduring and causing so much suffering. I have finally put together 16 months clean without outside help. That was an impossible notion for many years. I no longer crave it whatsoever. A large part thanks to psychedelics and Leo. I am eternally grateful. Namaste.
Edit : Thanks for all the kind words everyone. It means a great deal.
More power to you bro. Welcome back
Namaste 🙏
Big respect for taking your life in another direction, more positive and productive end ... Much love
I heard that support circles exist almost everywhere, they are apparently the remedy to many as well
Wow! Inspiring! Keep going!
"Intuition will get you much further in life than logic and reason alone"
Absolutely true.

I'm 17 and I discovered you 2 years ago. You've introduced me to the idea of personal developement and I've grown so much since. I've integrated most of my childhood tramas, developed passion for learning (I've already read like 50 books from your booklist) and personal developement. I feel better than ever (in the longrun), my vibration is higher than ever. Thank you, I would not be at this place without your work. Sometimes I think that my life has been so perfectly synchonized with your work and work of other teachers that I want to believe it. Thank you Leo
I’m 18, Keep Going Bro💫
Omg I am so jelly that you are setting up your life on the right foot forward so early. Don't stop! Keep up the love of wisdom and love of understanding life & yourself. How truly fortunate to find oneself at 17 with the keys to the kingdom of heaven on earth!
You know you are still very young, it's good that you got over your childhood traumas but do not follow him or his "teaching" this is the kind of person that will make you not realise when you might be hurting someone with your actions or yourself. Please ask yourself the right questions. See what is really logic and what is not. Most of the time people like him are obscurantist, they make you believe in their own made up logic.
I'm 17 and I just discovered him yesterday! Dang youre so lucky :>
Davidess I'm turning 17 too in two weeks:) Very cool to see that here are some young people too:) And I discovered Leo also when I was 15, very early, but how you said, there are so much benefits:)
It’s ridiculous how much knowledge is out there. If you walk into a library you can literacy learn about whatever you want from people who have lived full lives and acquired knowledge for years from great people or things. It’s beautiful.
ה ה Look when Leo frowns...the shape makes a Hebrew H. This is mind blowing to me because it is offten used to represent the Name of God. Leo says he is God and his flesh is marked with that saying when he becomesd stern....OMG...is he actually GOD?
Hebrew spelling: הֵא
H
In Judaism
He is often used to represent the name of God as an abbreviation for Hashem, which means The Name and is a way of saying God without actually saying the name of God. In print, Hashem is usually written as Hei with a geresh: ה׳.
@E R what do you mean "shape"
In all seriousness leo I cant even describe how much you've helped me get a better Life. Its amazing how much I've changed. I truly mean that. Keep the good work.. Keep helping people
I’m 27, was going through a bad phase of life & decided to start over everything from scratch because I took life for granted and This video was exactly what I wanted. I’m so grateful that this video exist. Thank you leo for spreading unconditional love to the world❤️
Leo has been one of the few people who keeps reigniting the flame inside me when it starts fading. thanks Leo!, your passion really makes this world a better place.
Yep.Yet, still some stupids are trying to talk about him bad
Dont judge them. i have been in that same place and I had to experience it myself to be able to understand Leo. they are just behind in their spiritual journey and i can't be mad at them for that. Sometimes it takes lifetimes to learn stuff but in the end, the whole thing is just an experience for us to learn from. i believe if they are questioning Leo they are doing the right thing because they need to examine it for themselves and experience the truth themselves. i get what you mean for sure haha
Ernesto Blanco Well said. You really seem to get it. Good to see people like you bro👍
@@TheErnieBM Well. Sure i see myself as the last person to judge them. But i feel like they wrong Leo and that is not fair. At least Leo is trying whatever it takes. It doesnt matter whether Leo think of himself as a God or not(sure this is not what he was saying in fact), the thing is that if u listen carefully and try to understand him, u ll see very valuable things in what he says.
But way of truth is not to take things litteral. Because language is cultur-based. Leos teaching are not litterally based, but experience-based. Language is only used to refer to experience and not to be right itself
I bet Leo learns a lot in creating these vids. Teaching is a good way to reinforce understanding.
It's funny how you don't know you knew certain things until you teach it to other.
Agreed
search up richard feynman what ur saying is very true
Correct. I have been working as a a teacher. Teaching require you have understood what you teach.
Nice observation, Yazan. You remind yourself of so many things(and the more you teach what is giving you these realizations, the better!) when you teach. Often, you might even learn to see what you teach in different ways over time or be able to create different connections or unique(to you, if not to most people) frameworks for things. All the while, you’re genuinely(hopefully! Ask yourself if you teach genuinely) passing down knowledge to someone. Teaching and learning are like an unpredictable cycle, yet soooo consciously rewarding
5 Years in personal development starting with this channel. Cured Depression. Cured Drugs and addictive Behaviour. Cured Lonelynes. Vegan. Learned Photography. Learned Film Making. Learned Marketing. Learned Websites. I own my own company now and soon i will have a lot of customers and employees. Finally i can focus on my work as an artist and musician. I can tell you that shit is about to get down.
How’s it going right now?
@@Fleetstreetbestone I wonder too!
Me too, would like some update?
Good for you. Seriously, very good.. but the credit is yours and yours alone. There is NO magic key to unlocking some otherworldly shit. You worked on yourself, as in you did it. This Chanel was a crush that reinforced you in a time of need. Now do one last thing to better yourself with, and cut this content junk food out of your life before this outrageously narcissistic shut takes from you everything you worked hard to achieve
Best youtuber there is...
The value of the content shared by Leo is priceless.
Thanks for all the work provided!
@Outlaw Bunny
I will take a look at it.
Thank you for sharing 😉 but his videos are mostly about women and I think I am experienced enough in this regard 😅.
Interesting nonetheless.
Yeah I can’t believe I’ve only just found him... and I already feel changed
You're in a cult dude.
I’m 16 and I can’t put into words how GRATEFUL I am for the great deal of time, energy, care, and wisdom you spread to others through your channel. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You’re changing many lives for sure!
How's life going ,I'm 16 now
Hey man. How’s life for you now?
This content is free?!
Tenielle Schutz it’s amazing this content is even free, what a privilege to have this.
Ssssshh, quiet! Or Leo might hear you! ;-)
It's your choice whether it's free or not. You can support him on Patreon. He also has a quite recent video where he explains why he opened a patreon account.

"There's nobody out there to blame for what's happening in your life"
If you wanna ease your life u need to take responsibility and ownership for your own mind and how you're using ur mind
Rewatching again and taking in more of this. Wanted to say that I’m 20 years old and feel very lost in some ways. Leo your videos have helped me be more curious and dive deeper and deeper into this life.
Hey man. How are you feeling ? Do you still feel lost? Just some interest from a stranger. Greetz
@@davidwodzynski3459 Hey man! Actually I have been feeling more in touch with myself. Crazy to think this comment was over a year ago… time flies.

"Life is an experiment in creativity" Boom.
I am 15 and I've listening to your videos for almost 2 years and this is great.

Remeber to balance this with some tony robbins!
@@raphaelvdb8399 I am not closed to just watching Leo's videos mate, I listen to many points of view (even to opposing ones), and then by analysing them I find my answers. Well I realize that listening to some content programs me with it in some way, but I'd rather to open myself to as many perspectives as possible before accepting one. I don't take Leo as an authority figure, nor I will anyone else. No one has the absolute truth as a person, but someone's idea can be. So don't take an ideal and copy him (or merge two). Create your own from ideas, not people.
im 13, glad that i found this channel and started implementing this stuff in my life, it really shifts your perspective. I can't piss away these valuable years of my life
Deeply jealous. You will do amazing things
You lucky star 🙏🌱

You are lycky u found Leo 13 only years old. He's telling the truth! I know and I am 71!

It's amazing that advice like this is given for free yet it's more valuable than almost all information average people expose themselves to
This is why books are so valuable. Sometimes its the wisdom of someone's life lessons condensed into a 200 page book its amazing how some people dont see the value in reading
Formal education will make you a living, self education will make you a fortune
dang i'm 89 and still feel like I can use this advice!
Same here.. I am 125 years old
I'm dead and Its still been a very useful advice.

💯
You can't be a pioneer for something as old as humans themselves.
I know I was thinking of a modern day Timothy Leary or Ram Dass
John Smith why do you say this?
@@bunnysamo But that socially inept comment, you say that as if he told you that himself and it wasn't an assumption. Your claims are unfounded as you would need to know most of what he's done in his life, and does on daily basis to make them. Ironically you said " He talks like he knows shit but he's just read it." and you just did the same.
It's all love at the end of the day bro, namaste.
Started watching your videos when I was in 5th grade. I am now 20 years old and have developed into someone I'm proud of. You played an immense role in that process. I cannot thank you enough. Godspeed.
I am 23. I started listening to Leo when I just turned 19. And he helped me change my life forever for the better.
So, if you're young and ambitious this is a great person to listen to if you are open minded and want to solve problems at their heart.
But also work hard too! You're worth it! Life can become more beautiful and rewarding than you could ever imagine.
Thanks again Leo!
I went on a walk to a lake close from my house so I sit on a comfy rock a and I started meditating, then once I was in a deep state after couple minutes I asked myself questions about my current life and I needed to know what the purpose of my doing on the planet. And once I did that, I stopped thinking about this and I just observed my thoughts but from a calm mind I would get myself to awnser without me talking because I was only in a observer state and I had deep awnsers and it made me feel so good. It might seem weird but it felt really real and I was feeling so good like I was floating into the wind and I was sober!
HEY LEO! I have achieved it. I am now self-actualized! I had at least 2-3 spiritual awakenings and this one now stayed with me. I am aware. I am awake. I know what the world needs to end wars. loving yourself is the key to ending wars around the worlds and killing each other and all of the misunderstandings and shit.. because we simply do not love ourselves. What can I do with this now that I am actualized.. totally happy and confident about myself and have realized my fullest potential. I am able to articulate myself very strong! I am able to put mixed thoughts, feelings and emotions into simple words or sentences. I know how to lead someone up to awakenings. I am struggling to find my art now. But I am awake! It’s this rush of LOVE energy of how fucking amazing I am and how limitless my awareness really is! I know I can inspire others too. Just how? UA-cam blogs? Music? A career? I am exploring right now to then share this msg with the world and make this earth a better place for humans to live.
Hehe, you've only just begun.
Actualized.org haha, it’s just crazy how people aren’t aware to this like it’s so SIMPLE that it’s hard. That’s what’s funny to me lmao! My mind is so opened to the point where my life can shatter and still remain open minded. I turned 19 last two months. I am constantly having realizations after realizations after realization! Just one right now I had another one if you’re reading this Leo. It’s like my mind cannot stop ever thinking. I’m ALWAYS... ALWAYS... ALWAYS... ALWAYS skeptical about myself. I always ask myself questions inside my mind and the answer comes as if law of attraction is under my control haha. I am doing my best sharing your channel across my social media when I can and share it to my friends when I can and are willing to listen.
The Life Purpose course is the best self-development product I've ever bought!

@@TwinsunianT I know I shouldn't even ask, but why do you think so?
Leo here seems so loving and compassionate. I feel this lovingness in almost every video I have seen of him but here is very potent.
I don't get why some people think he is harsh.
edit : I also wanted to add that, indeed, in this video he has a fatherly figure.
The quality of the content is that GREAT (especially if you compare it with other youtube videos), that I often find myself asking why Leo would spend so many hours putting together *VERY* useful videos for free?!
Very thankful
"How are you going to manifest love?" It's all there is to ask.
Please refer to my comments above. Might help to answer your question. There is only one source of love.
Actually all that is happening is powered by love. Only step is to let it be acknowledged 💙
microdose LSD it helped me learn alot and that the answer to everything is LOVE
Good
Finding you has been one of the best things that has happened in my life. Thank you so much for this video. I truly can't imagine looking for content like this anywhere else. I just wish I can meet you someday and give you a hug just once. You said in the past videos that one of you weaknesses is lack of perseverance. I don't this is your weaknesses. It must be not easy to keep producing contents like this weekly or bi-weekly. I think one of your strongest point is not giving up. I'm sure you've failed many times but you just don't give up. I learn so much from you. You inspire me. Thank you. Love you.
As a young man trying to change people’s lives using my platform I can say this is something I find valuable and I hope my peers see that as well 😊
According to him, your peers don't exist. Your delusional mind is just imagining them. So why bother?
Dude i seen your videos awesome!
I am currently 18 years old, and I’m grateful I stumbled upon this channel. I hope it’ll help me to get a head start on living the best life.
omg hi
@@c_n_uh4796 how did it work out?
@@pegasosfloff6053 Ok so it’s almost a year later from watching this post. Ive done a lot of learning and self-improving but now i feel like im backsliding :(
Keep Ask yourself “how do i live a good life”?
@@pegasosfloff6053yes it’s working. I think i found life’s passion for photography. But still, this self-actualization process is a life-long one. Its hard but i still find it enjoyable.
The quality of this Video and Leo's Channel in general is just crazy. 20 minutes in and there are already multiple life-changing insights for you. For free and without BS. Got me on the track towards lifelong Learning, Understanding and increasing my consciousness at 20, 3 years in and I only wonder how much growth is possible in the long run. Thanks
Idk why I felt like sharing this, but I’ve noticed I’m always on my phone, even when I don’t want to. I scroll on UA-cam and watch videos even when I’m not interested. Perhaps it’s a cycle. I always have the option of doing something new, but I do the same thing over and over...
Actually it's a form of "undetected" and socially approved addiction, I think a lot of people suffer from it nowadays, including me.. I recommend you to check out "The Social Dilema" documentary, it explains how social media exploits our attention and basically creates algorithms according to our interests using our personal collected data "against" us, to take as much of our attention they can so they could profit from it.
One thing to remember is that, unless you’re working with/under/for a mentor who is teaching you and guiding you in your career field, every job will only teach you what you need to know to do the job. For me, I know my job isn’t going to teach me everything I need/want to know. So I refuse to wait to work a job that will. I actively learn on my own time. If you can find a mentor, do it! But until then, don’t rely on your job to teach you more than the job itself.
ProudBlankFlank sometimes a good manager can be a mentor, or someone you just meet in a job... all part of the path...
This has been the most raw thing I have experienced in my life and t gave me the most raw emotion I have ever felt.
never mind, I have experienced something more raw than this video, and that is the ending of breaking bad. That ending made me feel very nihilistic about my life but I changed from that now. This video was close to that.
drives me crazy that Leo has 1M subscribers but averages only 100,000 views. He deserves way way more. But its okay... i'm happy I found him. I literally soak all of his knowledge like a sponge. He's incredible. Thank you Leo.
You saved my life in many ways, Leo. Bless your soul. I have had lots of trauma and finding your channel was what I was seeking all my life. Thanks!
Oh god I love it when you get serious
Every time i hear you I’m reminded to listen to no one but myself and just play like a child, be comfy, soak up some fun and share my joys. Cheers to infinite innocent love 💕
Idk why he has so many less subscribers and views as a other people have millions yet aren’t giving as much value as him! Big respect and have been following you for years and will as well! Keep it up Leo.
Isn't it sad that this channel has less than 1 million? So many people missing out on REAL quality content!
Well done Leo and thank you 🙂
1.06m now
I thank you so much. As a 17 year old and able to understand most of the things you are saying and makes me curious and excited to experience life, I’ve used your channel to help me a lot and you are the reason I made that first step to self realization ❤️
I wish I was 17 when I found this channel 😅
But if you are the universe you aren’t seventeen. And bragging about it serves god how? Get off the high horse and read some more
@@Frogsickle42 dude let him be
Much respect for everything you have accomplished Leo. I have not found another resource that goes as wide and deep as actualized.org does. If anyone else has, I would deeply appreciate if you could share it. All the best!
I am a child from Algeria, I am 18 years old. I am passionate about your content and thank you for your efforts ❤️
Thank you Leo. I am currently watching your series about Spiral Dynamics and it’s amazing. I feel like I can understand everything that happens in the world much better. If some of you reading this comment haven’t watched that series yet, I strongly recommend you to watch those videos.
Hell yeah I made it lol I'm on it
Hi Leo, please do a similar video for those in their mid-years, say, 40-60. It takes many people until then to realize that life has been unfulfilling and to desire something different, but being older sometimes presents seemingly insurmountable obstacles to creating that life. Thank you!
I think he will have answers to those only when he experience that phase of life....
"...you gotta deeply connect with what moves you. And what moves you in the end is not logic...it's emotion."
This sentence kinda gave me chills.
I remember in my darkest time I put on Leo’s video to get me through the night in a more positive way. I will never forget that
His articulation is so much pro..smooth like butter!
Leo, I am really diggin' these new videos man. Your way of explaining these difficult topics evolved a lot as well. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and wisdom I appreciate it.
FINALLY ONE MILLION SUBSCRIBERS!! I’ve been listening since 400,000 subs. Utter respect.
Whenever I want to fix my life I always come here and gather much knowledge!! Thank you, this time I am getting really serious about life and not stopping or taking a break. Thank you soo much for this!!
"You have to deal with the hand you're dealt" - Leo Gura
In physics we learn that there is no such thing as cold it's just the absence of heat. So the notion that there is love and the absence of love is called fear is actually really accurate!
Why can't cold be absence of heat? Not trying to argue, I'm just curious 🙂
Late reply, and I don’t have an answer lol… But some shit to consider might be, heat requires energy while cold doesn’t. Energy has a mass equivalent, so therefore heat is a physical form while coldness is formless. But then you could just say, “form is the absence of formlessness”. But we see it the other way around because our consciousness is designed to be drawn toward form. In the same manner, our consciousness is designed to be drawn toward love, and so it’s by the design of nature that we ascribe valence to duality
I subcribed to your channel before maybe 2 years or 3. I do not always understant you, some times you sound scary, some times I get angry, but all the times you upload a video I can not resist watching it! I admire your work ! Thank you thank you thank you!!!!
These things should be taught in schools everywhere. Leo you have done a tremendous Job and opened my mind to look life into different paradigm. Thanks
Leo I just want you to know how much I appreciate you making these videos, and especially for free. I have had multiple profound awakenings, the deepest one of which I found out I was LITERALLY IMMORTAL and also it was the same one I found out I was TOTALLY ALONE. During it I remember thinking " omg this is what leo was talking about." It was the most profound and beautiful experience that has ever happened to me and was mostly thanks to you. I attribute a lot of my development to you and you'll never know how much it means to me. One of my biggest fears is that you take these down and start charging a billion dollars for them or something ahhaha, so i'd like to download them at some point lol. Anyway thank you so much, man I hope you read this lol.
Leo this video is a real gift to the world thank you so much. PS i love you.
I wish I stumbled upon your work wen I was 15 years old. I wasted a lot of time lounging around, but I’m so thankful I stumbled upon your work 5 years ago. Your work has changed my life Tremendously, I cannot explain the value of it. Thank you Leo.
Namaste 🙏🏼
Not just for Young people as the title says... Good for kids of all ages.🤩
@Marcus Straya The name is "life advice for young people".... the simple fact that Is I believe this is awesome advice for everyone. And obviously Alot of people could use this info of any age. Clearly you don't know me or who I posted it for. So maybe you should focus on your personal self work rather then telling me who I am. Sorry my inner child with never grow up and wither away and that brings me great Joy.. So perhaps you now get what that comment means. And second I would never diagnose a a complete stranger... And call someone depressed. But thanks for the pearl of wisdom Have a awesome day... Thank you Leo... You are awesome..
Love the helpful videos. I post them when people I love and care about need advice.
Hey Leo, I love you and you have changed my life !
I am 16 and will come back here after 10 years. Tysm Leo for this amazing video.
You'll probably need it sooner
Ha, I'm rewatching this video scrolling through comments, seen this one and was about to comment something like you'll need it before that, only to see I already left that comment. My memory is fucked
@@youremom5463 hahahahahaha
1
thank you
Over 4 years following you i have completely changed my life finally heading right way, found my purpose with your course, improved health, fixed relationship and stopped being and obsessive neurotic about stupid shit. Bless you Leo
It’s so crazy cause the second time hearing this and I feel like life is helping me get so much more at of the video than the first time i watch it as in new ways insights: just flooding in!
Thanks Leo!
Thank you so much Leo! This reassured me that I’m in the right path. I’ve been into philosophy since I was 17 and now I’m 20. My life has completely transformed and I can’t wait for the future to see who I’ll become. Peace and love!
I feel you're onto something. You have changed.
He is onto living life as fully as possibly can
@@victor4692 Everyone is. He's not the first to want to 'live life fully'. It's almost become a cliche trope. This guy really isn't as clever as many of the sheep in the comments think he is.
@@adham2355 Can u even talk to camera entire 2 hours without editing at all ?
Leo, thank you so much for your work!♥️
I’ve been watching you for several years now.
I watched this video a year ago and applied all the advice I could. I’ve come back to it to freshen up on my motivation.
Applying your advice has been the best thing I have ever done for myself.
I’m 20, I’ve skipped all monotonous jobs and wasted college education.
I now own my own martial art’s school after training for 12 years.
I’ve had my school for 7 months now and I get so much fulfillment from my career. It’s incredible what I’ve proven to myself I can accomplish simply with more discipline and a passion for life.
You have influenced me in a profound way. Thank you so much.
“Don’t avoid negative feeling” this is the key
I think why we get stuck is we avoiding negative feeling about ourself.
Not solving our life problem by Pushing away the feeling ( get a dopamine rush)
but after all still having problem and still unsatisfied with life.
So being honest with how you feel about yourself and your life
And Start fixing the part that you don't like!!
Thanks a lot for the afford Leo😀😀 This video gave me a lot of clarity😇😇
I'm 35,
Hope this can still help
Stephen Pace 31 right here.
Stephen Pace 😊
It can!
Your still young brother
Yeah this is a good advice for everyone i suppose.Unless death gets you in the next couple of months.
Sometimes I feel like Leo is talking to me(just to me) like he actually would know me.bit crazy😅 but wondering if anyone else gets that feeling sometimes
His style of presenting has been getting gradually more intimate over the years to the point where it feels like there's no screen between us anymore. Isn't it awesome!
Yeah, it felt so personal. I’ve been following him since 2016, and recently has been really difficult. Hearing him deliver this message and advice nearly brought me to tears.
Yes!! Totally agree and sometimes I feel like he heard a conversation I had or a blog I wrote lol. I read his blog too so sometimes I feel like this could be why.
True 😁
That is because he DOES know you. He is You. You are Him. There is only One. That is what awakening reveals. And it changes the way one speaks and ones body-language.
Thank you Leo! I donated today on Actualized.org and was really happy to do so!
One thing I will say from experience is that if you have a spark of passion and in the moment which creates that spark you want to pursue it, solidify it as a vision. There will be times when you're not passionate about it. Maybe you became depressed, certain things changed in your life, maybe you had gradually less exposure to it, feeling less passionate as a result. That's fine, just remember what made you passionate in the first place. You shouldn't just quit because you're no longer passionate about it if you really believe in it and there was once a point where you were HUGELY passionate about it. It comes and goes.
What is most important in life?
Leo: Learning.
Ok why?
Leo: to understand...
Desire as the engine for life: a recognition that life is precious and you are the creator of your own life. Make an earnest effort to align your life with what you desire, what has meaning to you. Play by your own rules or someone else will make them for you. The game is enjoyable if you’re able to play it on your own terms, even if delt a bad hand.
Did Leo say that about desire? That seems spot on.
Edit: that should just be the whole video.
Straight A Student “desire” in this context is a very succinctly expresses version of: “where there’s a will, there’s a way”
The stronger the desire, the stronger one will push oneself to ‘figure it out’, especially beyond any sort of obstacles found along the way.
Because you base your life on what you know.
@@unvel1964 That's a true but depressing thought!!
im demanding part 2 RIGHT NOW!!! until then im studying part 1
Thank you very much Leo, your work is truly amazing and I appreciate the advice you give!
You litterly saved my life brother!!! For the last 7 years man.. can not thank you enough
I'm 21, been watching your videos since I was 18. I'm very grateful for how you've effected my life, Leo. You will continue to be an important resource for me as I move forward and I have so much to thank you for.
I started watching leo when i was 18 now im 23 and my life hasnt changed in fact its worse now....reason? I didnt implement a single thing i heard cuz i thought i "get it" just by watching.... rip 2015-2020
Harris 05 same here. 18-23 where I am now.
Same... but you know what, I think Leo's concepts are too big. You should start by doing something smaller in your life, something more mainstream, like finding a job or getting your social life together. And though Leo once said all of what he's saying has direct effect on our lives, I'm starting to doubt it. One of my favourites videos from Leo is How To Stop Being A Victim. Because that's the first steps in self-improvement that actually have practical use.
@@Senijs has it opened different perceptions though?
@@jessemartin1876 Leo definitely opened new perception for me with his ideas of The Fabric of Reality. That was a good thing to think about and now I have a very deep, fundamental understanding of how our reality is made. The fact that it can be literally anything and work in any way possible.
But I'm not ready for most of Leo's concepts yet. Meditation included. I tried it, I tried really hard. But I failed over and over and over again. Because I need to get my life in shape. I started to notice severe lack of socialization in my life and this causes me to lose motivation and happiness and also gets me stuck in life. I just want to get out of this swamp that I created my life to be. Then, when I have a stable job, friends and family all of which give me psychological relief of dopamine and seratonin, I can keep improving further and start my spiritual journey.
Starting meditation without a good ground in the real world is like learning to run without knowing how to walk. If my life is shit, meditation won't help me one bit and will only slow me down because it takes so much energy to master and get some feedback from it.
That's ok! Now that you're conscious why nothing changed you can start implementing it. I felt nothing had changed with many things too it's a difficult task to experience everything and apply what you learn, sometimes we even experience but forget to apply it. My thoughts on how to improve that from my perspective are to take more risks and do what we can to experience life and learn from it, basically committing to life and to Truth as Leo said in this video. I understand it sucks to you that some years have passed but hey we're around the same age we're still young it's never too late to change! Take care friend.
Leo, I've been following you for 5 years already and you have changed my life completely! Thank you ❤
I’ve been going school for years and this 2.30 hours contributed me a lot than school couldn’t have been able to for years
I'm glad to be hearing this advices while I'm still young.
Thank you Leo! I am Very happy for your existence.
Leo I’m about to turn 21 but I’ve been listening to ur videos since I was 15 and I just wanna Thankyou man because you’ve been almost like my therapist for all these years and even tho I’ve been listening to you for so many years whenever I come back to your videos and relisten to them I always learn something new about myself especially since the growth from 15-21 is fast and it’s a lot. Just Thankyou for being a great guider for all of us
Hey Leo!
First time I started listening to you - was many many years ago; when both of us were much younger.
I was not in a good place back then.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
You along 3 other people, literally, Actually, changed my life and help me find peace.
I try to give back, to the universe! To humanity! To you! One day, at a time.
Thank You! Leo.
Thank You!
Resilient Grind same here, because I am you 😉
Leo shooting a practical video I must be flying 😂😂
When you open leo's 2 hr video and realize its part 1
Hey it's 2 and a half hours!
IT'S LIKE LORD OF THE RINGS - BUT MORE USEFUL.
Not really it says part 1 on the title
if u get into this, u will search for part 3 with 6 hrs length
Today is my first day watching this video. It’s very long so I told myself 15 minutes a day. This allows me to write notes, and reflect on what I’ve learned. I really appreciate this video as I’m at a very confusing time in my life. I’m still quite young but I have so many questions, but I’m eager to embark on this journey
How are these videos not going viral?
“If you’re not passionate about something, you’re taking life for granted.”
More practical content like this Leo! This is the type of content I missed to be honest
Leo, you're so god like at this point that many times when I see you have a new video up and start to listen to it, I feel fear, anger and hatred and I project it onto you and I've meditated and done Kriya Yoga and am healing trauma and cleaning up my diet.......but I center myself and go into the video as the illusory veil between myself and you(the video image of you anyway heh heh) gets thinner and thinner in my direct perception and I never regret it.
I cannot begin to explain to you how much a positive impact your videos have had in my life. I started watching your videos more than 4 years ago and it's been incredible to watch and learn from your evolution. Thank you.
Heres my 2 cents.
I’ve been a seeker since early childhood probably around 5 yrs old.... I have always since then had that mindset naturally that life is mysterious and that I would like to “nail” it perfectly. So I did well in school, very well in all my hobbies and reached professional level in 3 different interests..... When I hit 20 I hade studied and learned myself a trade that was very spiritually fulfilling for me, and I took it extremely seriously. But I quickly became aware that I was the only one among my coworkers that felt that way, everyone else see this things as a jog they just have to do to make money and so forth with many aspects of life. I’ve lead a very lonely life because of my serious attitude that I have become a 30 year old that feels completely lost, emotionally and spiritually. The things that gave me meaning and purpose don’t anymore and I don’t have a loved one or much money. Music that ones gave me ultimate feelings of purpose in life gives me nothing etc.
I really hope I will recover from this soon enough. But things will go rough at times no matter how good you’ve studied all aspects of it and whatnot. Good luck to you all
