THE HUMAN MIND: "The human mind is the only organ of the body that, in order for it to be healthy, it requires another human being. We need someone else to be mentally healthy. We are going to have to realize that we don’t need relationships anymore in order to survive, but without them we will all suffer. That means prioritizing relationships even when we don’t need to. So now what we are going to have to do as a society is evolve.” SUCCESS: “Everyone is using success as an antidote to their pain and a source of pleasure.” FAILURE: "My journey started with failure. We think about failure as a negative thing, but I think that's what actually got me started on my journey." JUDGMENT: "Anytime we make a judgment, our mind already has a conclusion. There is nothing left to learn anymore.” ROCK BOTTOM: "When you hit rock bottom you can always pull out a jack hammer and break down to the next level, so there’s no such thing as rock bottom. There is just as low as you go before you start moving up. You can always do worse, it’s just as far down as you go before you turn around, and that’s your lowest point.” PORNOGRAPHY: "Pornography shuts off our experience of negative emotions. It’s not even the pleasure, it’s the avoidance of the negative emotion. Masturbation is what leads to the Dopamine, but watching pornography will shut off the negative emotions.” GOALS: "The bigger our goal is the harder it is for our brain to get on board with doing it. Give Up The Goal and Focus On The Task At Hand. Focus on doing something today and be super careful about setting a bigger goal, because if you set a big goal, and even if you get 50 percent of it done, you will feel like a failure because you didn’t accomplish your goal. Whether I'm looking at the top of Mount Everest or not looking at the top of Mount Everest, the way to get to the top is the same, ONE STEP AT A TIME. So Set Goals With Awareness. As I let go of all my goals, I started to be more successful.” INTROSPECTION: "They don't have any time to process what happens to them, because they are constantly distracted by external things. Introspection is the way to shed yourself of worldly expectations. Once you start to know yourself you won’t look to the outside world to tell you who you are. As long as you are listening to the outside world to tell you who you should be, you’ll never be happy because they keep changing.” ADDICTION: "It's Not About Willpower, It's About Awareness." PERSPECTIVE: "Most of what you experience in life doesn’t come from the outside world, it comes from what your mind adds to the equation.” *********************************************************************************************************** * Dr. Alok Kanojia (aka Dr. K) is a well known and beloved Harvard graduate Psychiatrist that many men have claimed has helped transform their lives.
