Three quarks for Muster Mark

Guys, i know for myself that my problem is lack of focus on living life, and life incorporates many details

I'm looking for a monthly program for fulfilling 'life', with daily incremental tools. Maybe it's free on the back of the cereal box?

Lion is King, that sent me a "Living" workshop by dr "R" a well known psychologist. I started listening. The ideas are great and looks like there's tools provided too. Yet, it does sound a little 'clinical' (I don't mean to sound 'cynical'). I hope to get thru a good part of it and if it helps me, maybe share it with my brothers here 

I know what you mean. Was very dry. I didn't listen to all of them. Found a new guy. He really seems to be living life, but I lose focus too quickly.

Just a reminder.

What is called living life?
How does a fulfilling life look like?
How does someone obtain a fulfilling life?

I'm not into philosophy, however I've got a theory of an idea. Got to go now back to work. (No, working at this late hour, is not called living life at all...)
Please remind me to share with you at a different time.

Thank G-D for GYE where I found this guy who calls me his chavrusa even though we don't learn together even stories about the donkey of R' Pinkas ben Jair...



We keep in touch often and it keeps us sane in this Third World War.



There was WW1

then came WW2

and now WWW.



I am currently in situation which is an excuse for any addict to act out, where I commute alone with a female co-worker. 

Yes my Rav said it's 100% ok, but it's a struggle for me.

It definitely helps me when I remind myself and practice the de-objectify concept (found somewhere in the Trucking Guide).   

I was considering to change my vote on the other poll to 'Fantasy'. But now BH things are under control. 



And thank G-D for Torah anytime where I listen in to some great speakers who keep me grounded in the late night hours which are usually the killer hours for me



Thank you all for being there for me / us, and may you all have a happy & enlightening Hannuka!

I'm a few weeks late ...

ON YOUR MARKZ
GET SET(TLED)
LETS GO - POST!
COME ON MARKZ, WE MISS YOU.

I was like you guys, then all changed when I started getting a stronger mind, which caused me, A. To stop always being uncomfortable. B. To be able to ignore lust. (Ie: stop lusting).

Tzvi, 

Can you share what it means to get a stronger mind, and how you did that?

Also, when you say you were like “you guys”, to whom are you referring? Lots of guys here, many are very different from each other.

Comprehending what i learned or studied. Which I accomplished by summarizing in my own words the subject on hand. This allowed me to control my emotions/feelings/resentments/fears...

I had resentments, fears, and couldn't handle life. Which made me turn towards lust... as my medicine.

And how does that help you ignore lust, i.e. stop lusting?

I am comfortable without lust, and don't feel the need to lust.

There’s an app on my iPhone that I had for looong time and like to use, but I discovered last week that I can access videos with objectionable content, despite the fact that Videos aren’t allowed in the basic settings...
