UNFUCKWITHABLE: When you’re truly at peace and in touch with yourself. Nothing anyone says or does bothers you and no negativity can touch you.
Blissipline System 3: The Practice of Giving The Dalai Lama once said: To be happy, make others happy. Giving is the path for doing
Step 1. List all the things you could give to others. Ideas include: time, love, understanding, compassion, skills, ideas, wisdom, energy, physical help, and what else?
End goals are about experiencing love, traveling around the world being truly happy, contributing to the planet because doing so gives you meaning, and learning a new skill for the pure joy of it. End goals speak to your soul. They bring you joy in and of themselves, not because they confer any outward label, standard, or value attached by society. Nor are end goals undertaken for the purpose of pay or for material reward. They are the experiences that create the best memories in our lives. My most amazing end goals were: Reaching the top of Mount Kinabalu and gazing down at the clouds below

Means goals are the things that society tells us we need to have in place to get to happiness. Almost everything I wrote down as a goal was actually a means to an end, not an end in itself, including: Graduating from high school with a good GPA. Qualifying for the right college. Securing a summer internship. Getting a job at Trilogy Software in Austin, Texas.
Joe Vitale: “A good goal should scare you a little and excite you a lot.”
Excitement signifies that your goal is genuinely close to your heart—not something you’re doing to please someone else or to conform to society’s Brules.
I’ve found that all end goals fall into three different buckets. The first is experiences.
No matter what you believe about humanity’s origins, one thing is clear. We’re here to experience all the world has to offer—not objects, not money, but experiences. Money and objects only generate experiences. Experiences also give us happiness in the now, a key component of the extraordinary life. We need to feel that daily life holds wonder and excitement to sustain our happiness—which fuels our movement toward our goals.

THE THREE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTIONS 1.What experiences do you want to have in this lifetime?
How do you want to grow? 3.How do you want to contribute?
What Experiences Do You Want to Have? In this section, you are asking yourself this question: If time and money were no object and I did not have to seek anyone’s permission, what kinds of experiences would my soul crave?
YOUR LOVE RELATIONSHIP. What does your ideal love relationship look like? Imagine it in all its facets: how you communicate, what you have in common, the activities you do together, what a day in your life together looks like, what holidays are like, what moral and ethical beliefs you share, what type of wild passionate sex you are having.
YOUR FRIENDSHIPS. What experiences would you like to share with friends? Who are the friends you’d share these experiences with? What are your ideal friends like? Picture your social life in a perfect world—the people, the places, the conversation, the activities. What does the perfect weekend with your friends look like?
YOUR ADVENTURES. Spend a few minutes thinking about people who’ve had what you consider to be amazing adventures. What did they do? Where did they go? How do you define adventure? What places have you always wanted to see? What adventurous things have you always wanted to do? What kinds of adventures would make your soul sing?
YOUR ENVIRONMENT. In this amazing life of yours, what would your home look like? What would it feel like to come back to this place? Describe your favorite room—what would be in this wonderful space? What would be the most heavenly bed you can imagine sleeping in?
What health or fitness systems would you like to explore, not because you think you ought to but because you’re curious and want to?
What would make you happy and proud to know how to do?
Train yourself to let go of everything you fear to lose. —YODA, STAR WARS: EPISODE III - REVENGE OF THE SITH
“The fear of loss is a path to the Dark Side. . . . Train yourself to let go of everything you fear to lose.”
Every time you give someone the power to build you up with praise, you’re also unknowingly giving that person the power to destroy you with criticism.

Becoming Present (to Remove Sudden Fear and Anxiety)
Knowing we are ENOUGH gives us the courage to do MORE, do BETTER, do our BEST. When we learn to be unfuckwithable, the biggest fears that hold so many back no longer bother us. We boldly pursue big dreams and goals.

The universe doesn’t care who’s going to change the world. It just wants someone who’ll seize the idea and run with it.
In the book Big Magic: Creative Living beyond Fear, Elizabeth Gilbert
The first question is: Recall a time when you experienced Heaven on Earth. What was happening? The second question is: Imagine you have a magic wand and with it you can create Heaven on Earth. What is Heaven on Earth for you? And now the final question: What simple, easy, concrete step(s) will you take in the next twenty-four hours to make Heaven on Earth real?
