    Day 88 everything is great, I had erectile function this morning it showed me the direction of the coffee maker and let me hang my shirt on it while I got a cup of coffee I was pointing South by Southwest and then he went back to sleep
    In verse 7, Paul writes that he wishes all men were like him (single), and thus could serve the Lord without a spouse and without distraction. Yet he realizes that each person has his or her own “gift” (level of sexual need), and that some will be better off getting married. Verse 8 then continues the point in verse 7 about staying unmarried. The practice of staying single and celibate is not adhered to very well in our modern culture, even by Christians who should know better because of the guidance from the Word of God. The subject of sex is so lauded and glorified by the world that anyone who chooses to do without it is considered a quack of some sort. The ability to remain celibate without burning with desire, which the Bible calls a “gift,” is too often degraded

    thank you,yes i am a bit aware of this vicious addiction. well ,i can't tell you how creepy and detrimental and mysterious is this disease. it doesn't show itself outside but indeed it is more dangerous than narcotics and even meth . one's body release hormones just by fantasizing and watching wrong stuff and after a while by this accumulation of pseudo hormonal release, one's brains structure change in a way that change that person's outlook and attribute and then...the whole same world is looking differently for that person than the past.
    and i think that is one reason of why porn stars ratio of suiciding have increased nowadays,because they have become aware what they have done and the consequences on their life and on other folks .

    Day 23 /
    i woke up at 3:30
    did exercise
    read some material about my major
    i had some porn flash backs of some porn stars that wanned to take control of my thoughts in my mind , but i said to myself that any kind of pleasure apart from physical entercorse with a right soulmate is an addiction and this addiction release hormone in an unlimited way . i handled the subsequent arousal and the wrong thoughts by turning my attention to doing right stuff.
    I feel the quality of being present has improved . my anger feeling also has declined .
    today i want to talk about the importance of having high self esteem and it's positive effects in a genuine success in our life .
    we need it, we need that knowledge about what is a real self esteem ?how it affect our standards and our behavior and also how we can improve it.
    but lets listen to the worlds of a great expert in this area by reading his book :" the six pillars of self esteem " by Nathaniel Branden
    i put the link below: for a short summary in video format
    but i recommend to read the whole book.

    BOOK NOTES
    - The higher our self esteem: the less we need to prove ourselves, we strive for higher goals, we are more ambitious.
    - The more inclined we are to treat others with respect.
    - The joy of life comes from being better than you were yesterday, delighting in the true joys of life, and not in comparison to others
    - The joy is being who you are and not in trying to be better than someone else

    THE SIX PILLARS
    1. The practice of living consciously
    - Being present
    - Living mindfully
    - Our mind is our basic tool of survival
    - Self esteem is the reputation we acquire with ourselves
    - Behaving with accordance with what you see and know
    - Discerning between facts, interpretations, and emotions
    - Being concerned to know where I am relative to my goals and projects, and whether I am succeeding or failing
    - Are my actions in alignment with my purpose?
    - Getting feedback and receptive to new knowledge
    - Committed to lifelong learning and growth
    - Use sentence stems to become more conscious and aware of your life situation
    - If I were more conscious, how would I treat other people?
    2. The practice of self acceptance
    - Willingness to accept what you do, who you are, and what you enjoy
    - It's not judging your behavior but merely accepting that your actions just are
    - What is, is
    - It's a matter of accepting and forgiving yourself for your unwanted behaviors
    - Accepting what is, is the precondition to change
    3. The practice of self responsibility
    - Embrace your responsibility
    - Take self responsibility for your emotional and intelectual existence
    - You are responsible for the situation you are in at any given moment
    - No one is coming to save you
    4. The practice of self assertiveness
    - Honor your wants, needs, and values and seeking appropriate forms of expression in our reality
    - Leap into the game
    - Express yourself
    - Confront, rather than evade, the challenges of life
    - Be kind and cooperate with others
    5. The practice of living purposefully
    - Set goals and work towards them
    - Live intently
    - Living purposefully involves the following four steps:
    1. Taking responsibility to live purposefully
    2. Identifying the actions needed to achieve one's goals
    3. Monitor behavior to check to see if you are in alignment with your goals
    4. Paying attention to see to the outcome of ones actions to see if they are leading to where one wants to go
    - The practice of personal integrity: When your ideals and standards match- you have integrity
    - Integrity means congruence

    RESTORING INTEGRITY
    1. Face and accept your reality
    2. Seek to understand why you did what you did
    3. Acknowledge explicitly to the other party what you have done and mention your understanding of the consequences
    4. We take any actions to correct our behavior
    5. We commit to not repeating the same thing again

    - One must examine their life in order to determine if they are acting in a role that is in their best interest, questioning the assumptions and beliefs behind their actions
    - If we examine our lives we will notice there is a discrepancy between integrity we practice in different situations
    - The principle of reciprical causation: behaviors that generate good self esteem, are good self esteem
    - Love tied to performance is not love, it is a form of manipulation
