THE 100 DAY SPARTAN CHALLENGE (OPEN)

Congratulations on your achieving rank!

 

Day 22

 

Check In Day 1(14)

Hello Spartans!

I am very excited that @eddiealright will soon become the God of War. It shows that this community is changing lives for the better. Well done!

Daily programming. It’s a must. We must program our minds every day. Or someone else will. We must choose the content and conversations we want to permit in our lives. If we don’t, someone else will.

We live in funny times. Because we are living in a time when communication has exploded. And many people think they understand a lot of things because they are exposed to a lot of messages. But many of them are sock puppets. They have no ideas of their own. They have no understanding of world events. They are just an echo. An echo of the content they consume on social media and mainstream media. They are angry. Discontent. They are righteous. They are offended. They are outraged.

And they are fools.

Their minds are filled with ideas and beliefs that were planted there to serve agendas set by other people and groups. They are told what to think about. They are told what they should believe. They are told what to be outraged by. They are told what to desire. And never stop to question why. Never stop to ask themselves ‘is this event really that important to my life? Do I really need to be this outraged? Do I need to spend so much time keeping updated on this narrative?’

And like the urge army, the idea army comes for us too. It tries to convince us that we should spend more time on certain ideas. Certain thought patterns. Certain behaviours. The idea army works with the urge army I believe. The idea army tells us porn is healthy. Pmo is good for stress. The idea army tells us we need more and bigger and better stuff. It tells us what we should be angry about. What we should be afraid of. And what we should do about it.

As you work your way through the no pmo lifestyle you may encounter puppets from the idea army. They look at you with suspicion. They try to persuade you that your ideas are wrong. That your mind is poisoned. And then when you change other parts of your life the idea army sock puppets may also challenge you there. Try to pull you back into their discourse.

This is why Sparta is so important for our community. This thread. This space. This forum. Here we support each other in the journey. In reprogramming. Here we encourage each other. We share our experiences. We seek personal evolution. We seek freedom and glory. We shake off the shackles of the urge army. The idea army. And any army that tries to make us into slaves.

We are not most men, the ones that ‘live life in quiet desperation’.

We are Spartans.

We don’t need to be understood by the masses. We do not need their validation.

We are Spartans.

We live for freedom and glory.

Make time every day to remind yourselves who you want to be. If you don’t, someone else will.

Be free Spartans! God bless!

 

Man bro, you really do write inspiring post.

NO pmo really changes your mind , i was weak in studies and especially in maths , i have left studying maths for about 7 years now and this year i am preparing for CAT 2020 , one of the most toughest exam where quant is really tough . But i have to crack it no matter what and that too with best percentile , for the past 24 days of strict pmo i think i have little bit healed my brain. Earlier i used to just skip the questions in fear that i might not able to solve them and this will end here and i wont continue studying this maths anymore but yesterday i thought that enough is enough i will face it .

And it took me almost 50 mins in order to solve 1 algebra advance question , in the process my mind was thinking of giving up and lets sleep but i dont know how i kept on going and after 50 mins i was able to solve that problem , i shared the solution with my mentor and he was impressed . He told me that i can achieve anything if i will take the relevant actions and leave this fear of losing . And i think he is right , whole life till now i just lived in fear of failure and other . But now i think that fear is just a temporary emotion like other emotion and if you will not give in to that and if you will keep on moving forward than there is no obstacle in earth that you cannot achieve . I hope i can continue my journey in this path and will grow by enjoying this journey and the changes .

Change is inevitable , this is right , for so many years i was just fighting against the change and therefore i was stuck and was not growing but now i think i have to change myself in order to achieve my dreams . You cannot have a mentality of a 18 years old kid in 23 year old age . Every stage in your life demans a new version of yourself . I think my time has come and i am accepting this change with wide arms open .

God bless you all whoever is devoting his/her time in reading my posts . May you achieve everything what you desire in your life . Take care and keep smiling . Life is beautiful , make the most out of it

 

Day 33 *Head Nod*

 

You are doing good bpboy, stay strong!

Oba! Você chegou a uma semana! Comemore suas vitórias e não fique apegado ao contador, ele pode causar ansiedade, e a própria palavra "contador" é negativa, se pensar profundamente no assunto dos vícios. Você tem que ser sempre positivo sobre seus dias sem a droga ou o comportamento.

Great job Risho, you are doing good, oh, i almost forgot to say: thank you, you and various special others here inside the spartan challenge and the forum helped me reach one week without porn again, and it's just the beginning of the year so I'm doing a GODDAMN progress compared to me in the past!

Another One Bites The Dust. Amazing alpha, i don't know why i write that phrase just seems to have sense to me.

Yeah, he is amazing on this.

Congratulations Wolf, stay strong.

 

It's my second day without PMO and I was with seven days without PMO, thanks to everybody and me (obviously), I have so much good inspirations inside and outside here, I'm grateful. I just stay a little sad when I see that people around me don't have much interest on the things I read (and even don't want to read), the things I hear and talk and etc.

Thank you Spartans, thank you NoFap.

Congratulations on your achieving rank!

 

Check in day 4

 

True!...I remember a time when people were more patient. If you wanted something, you waited or saved money for it, or you worked hard for it.

Today?? Give it to me now or else.. it would be very scary if I didn’t know that it was foretold that it would be this way. People are exactly like what it says:

“But know this, that in the last days critical times hard to deal with will be here. For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, haughty, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, disloyal, having no natural affection, not open to any agreement, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, without love of goodness, betrayers, headstrong, puffed up with pride, lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God” (2 Timothy 3:1-4)

It’s exactly what you described, the Spartans here, are fighting this ^^.

 

Today I relapsed I felt the urges stronger every day and I did it unfornately!

But on the other hand I felt proud because my longest streak ever was 22 days, and I never in my entire life I had this streak.

I´m coming stronger than before and I´m happy to find this path and I ´ll never give up on my own!

I wish all good luck and may god bless all of us in this journey!

I´m going to start again more powerfull than ever!

Day 0 Check in!

 

Day (1)32 checking in
The counter still goes up and my mood too.
Tomorrow time for test again. I am ready this time.
I learnt from my own mistakes also now, because there's always a new level
you can always set your bar a little higher.
So do it spartans.
Doesn't matter how much you are improving, set your bar even higher than that,
because you're worth.

 

This, my friend, is the road I choose.

No matter how many days I am free from P and M...no matter how many goals I accomplish...it's NEVER going to be good enough. I'm always going to demand more of myself. This is just the beginning for me.

I'll savor moments of accomplishment but even more importantly I'll keep pushing myself, staying vigilant, reminding myself every day that I have to "start over" because this is a one-day-at-a-time endeavor, no matter what my day counter reads.

 

You bounced right back.

I wish you strength and success as you continue to embark on this challenge.

 

Welcome back Gon!

 

Will do! Wishing you much success on the exam tomorrow.

 

This is who I aspire to be, and it's never easy. I deal with temptation every day. The quick path is always there, inviting me.
