How does one develop themselves?

[Ughubughughughughughghlug]

I consider myself to be well-developed but I feel like I've started stagnating for about a year or so. I want to develop myself, both by learning new hobbies (particularly traditional and nature/exercise-oriented ones) and reading more, both non-fiction and fiction. This also includes spiritual/character development. I consider myself to be a sort of Jack-Confucian and want to make myself into an American version of the Confucian gentleman.

So, this thread is for general purpose advice on ways to develop oneself (doesn't have to be directed towards me in particular).

Well, first thing you gotta know how to do, is wipe. People appreciate a man who knows how to wipe.

Second, watch anime. People appreciate a man who watches anime.

Third go for a walk around the block twice a day, people appreciate a man who goes for a walk around the block twice a day.

Fourth, don't be a faggot.

Experience things. Also good luck on becoming a religious/philosophical ideal that focuses on tradition and order in a society founded on telling a King to go fuck himself.

I spend most of my time smoking weed and using the internet, frankly self improvement is for soyboys and anyone who disagrees with me is gay.

My Confucianism can be adapted, it doesn't have to be orthodox. Tradition and order in America is constitutional republicanism.

I would make my own religion but the problem is that when you're playing make believe, it works much better if it's at least an established thing and not your own fanfic. Otherwise, I would steal the doctrine of eternal progression from Mormonism, the ancestor worship from Confucianism, probably a lot of aesthetics and fluff from Buddhism and Eastern Orthodoxy, and maybe Shinto nature worship and monster/god stuff for fun. Might add some collectivist nationalism and Objectivism both.

If I were charismatic I'd just go try to make a cult of it.

shit I've been found out

If you already know what you want to learn, you do that to develop yourself. If you don't, you're not developing. You're not asking how to develop yourself since you obviously already know, you just don't have motivation.

Nobody can give you motivation, you do that shit on your own. Stop replying. Get up. Fuck off to do shit for like 30-60 minutes at least, then come back. Do that shit every day for at least that much. If you ever tell yourself "nah I won't today, I'll take a day off" you slap yourself and fucking do it because otherwise you'll just take another day off the next day and the next until you've just stopped. If you can do it on the toilet, then eat chipotle and fucking sit there for as long as it takes to evacuate your bowels while developing.

Move, motherfucker, move, life is catching up to you and it takes no prisoners.

I start most days by paying my Taylor Swift alarm clock to stop beeping. Then I drink coffee.

I was very crazy until fairly recently so every day is an improvement

 

[Ughubughughughughughghlug]

Come to think of it, maybe I'll just go all in on my LARPing and start dressing like this. Be both a Confucian gentleman and a Georgian one.

I assume point two is sarcasm.

I have specific goals that I've been making progress on, just not as quickly as desired. I posted here to see what things I may not be thinking of. Like potential hobbies or things to do. Areas where somebody else's knowledge may be helpful.

And like I said, this thread can be for anybody's benefit.

Well, I mean, I tried JoJo since I thought I'd like the homoerotic muscle men fighting each other with nice funk music, but then it turned out that they fight with magic bullshit and the muscle men are really gay instead of just being tastefully homoerotic.

I don't know. I'm pretty sure if I quit smoking pot I could get a better job.

Don’t be Tony Robbins. He’s fucking nuts. The idea of seeing that monster naked makes me want to hurl. I could never love a man like that. I feel sorry for any woman stuck with him. I really don’t know what else I have to say to tell that disgusting scum bucket to fuck off.
