yes and also the MormonsQuote from TheMagican:
Folks,you are living in such Great country.Why do you ever feel the need to get high?Can you imagine how a clean body be ecstatic without any pot?
no coke
no coffee
might as well include no aspirn if you get a headache from caffiene withdrawl
and don't let that corn ferment, it could turn into alcohol
for years Europeans would rather starve to death than eat those South American potatoes which they though were poisonous
Like God told Adam and Eve, "You can smoke anything in the garden, but don't be smoking that pot."
and that is why I never buy pot from snakes
I guess for some people it is too late to start sorting out once's psychological issues. Now, it seems that for you it is about finding stuff to do to use your time till your day's calling.
and it can't come soon enoughQuote from smallStops:

you know you are getting middle age when more than 50% of your thoughts are about the past
It doesn't have to be that way you know
You can catch yourself when you are thinking too much about the past, and change it
I'm also experimenting with eliminating all negative memories, so all I will be left with is the good ones
that's not going so well, it's still a work in progress
as far as enlightenment goes, just remember 90% of life just goes on inside your head. It doesn't matter if you are trading or running a marathon or hopefully making love to a beautiful woman. It's all going on just inside your head.
Quote from oldtime:
I can tell you this
when I was young we had a band, and we were stoned all the time, but it got to where we were playing 6 nights a week till 3 am and midnight on Sunday and I started doing that cocaine before and during the gig all night just to stay inspired
finally we got a really good contract in May for a gig only four nights a week starting in SEP. So we decided to take the summer off. The band had a house where we all lived, but all the other members had girlfriends who they lived with, I was the only one with no girlfriend, so I got the whole house all to myself for the summer. I knew I needed to clean out and I don't do anything in a small way.
I woke up every morning about 6 am no alarm clock and did my Hatha Yoga (Taking care of the body) and then did breathing excercises and finally just sat still and tried to meditate for an hour in the lotus position.
I spent the day writing music, and I had a whole basement full of top quality instruments and recording equipment.
Usually took a long walk every afternoon to the spiritual book store or grocery store
I still smoked pot, but only in the evening when I was reading my spiritual books
and then repeated the whole yoga routine and meditation about 10 o clock at night and dropped off
after just 3 months of this routine I was higher than a kite.
no matter who I met I could read them immediately
I very rarely gave advice, but I could say just one sentence and a whole glow would come over them and put them at rest from the trouble they were in
eventually I too had a girlfriend and the whole thing came apart
it is very easy, yet almost no one can do it
now I am old, no wife, no kids, no job. I should meditate every morning and night. I know it would change my life. Nothing will change your life more for the better than meditating. And there really is no technique that you have to study. It's just the sitting there still for a period of time that does all the good. It's so easy, yet almost no one can do it.
Now I can sit for about 3 minutes before I want to turn the tv on and watch the game. If I have many more trading weeks like this last one, I won't have enough money for Direct TV and I will be forced to meditate again.
"no matter who I met I could read them immediately"
however, no matter, could you read the market?
well, I wasn't reading the market back then. I didn't even know what the market was.Quote from zdreg:
"no matter who I met I could read them immediately"
however, no matter, could you read the market?
I have said many times, 90% of what I do is just money management, 10% is reading the market
so yes I suppose, meditating could help you read the market
I know it sure as hell helped me reading people
but then again, they didn't have anything to offer me personally
