Leo, if there is anyone on TH-cam who deserves 1 Million subscribers, it's you. Hoping you get there this year! Incredible work here.
Drop the Bassline I absolutely agree
Getting there...
Reached there.
Damn took 3 years
boom
OMG! My biggest passion is music production and my jaw dropped when Leo made that analogy with the mixing board. I frequently face life as a giant mixing board, and it's awesome to suddenly see him putting it like that. Thank you for everything you've done for society, Leo.
Work : Chill
Personal development : Enlightenment
Theory : Action
Left brain (logic) : Right brain (intuition)
Practicality : Vision
Protectiveness : Openness
Seriousness : Playfulness
Change : Acceptance
Spending time by yourself : Spending time with others
Rigidity : Flexibility
Internal focus : External focus
Business : Art
Strategy : Spontaneity
Assertiveness : Patience
Directing conversation : Deep listening
The balance between each is down to the situations of each individual. Apply wisdom to what side's currently needed more than the other, or if down the middle is best to reach your balance.
Wilson thank you!

Man, you really opened my eyes with this one. I think this is definitely what I have most trouble with in my life, without having it realized until now. Instead of being a conscious, dynamic and adaptable person, I feel like I was more on the way to becoming rigid and dogmatic. When something becomes nothing but a routine, it becomes an unconscious activity. I've noticed this with art, personal development and even meditation. Maybe this is routed in not knowing or forgetting the purpose of certain actions, and instead creating inner rules to obey, so one can avoid conscious decisions and set aside the emotional labor.
This is definitely something I have to remind myself alot. Even though it takes the illusion of security away, because there is no perfect pathway one can follow, it does feel liberating to know that one must find their own path, one that cannot be predicted.
Deejay Leo in the mix, bringing the balance in your life. Smooth as sound! Hell-yeah!
One of the things I really don't understand is why these concepts aren't taught in schools. I wish I knew these things since when I was a kid!
*the self development is the most important science ever*

Why empower the people to think for themselves, to be mentally healthy, to be happy and competent? Imagine how much money the top dogs lose! Haha No, no, the reality is that we live in a near Hell on Earth because society lives under limits of the richest fucks who dictate it.
Tl;dr. It's up to you to teach your own.
I'm from Italy and was convinced that in countries like the US these things were taught in schools. What came up for me from Leo's life purpose course (which I strongly recommend) is exactly this: to introduce self development in schools as compulsory subject. I know it's crazy, but shouldn't our life purpose be crazy, huge and revolutionary? :)
I took Human Relations and it touched on this, just barely.. but I was lucky enough to have a professor with a PhD.
But LEO. BUT LEO!!!
Best video you ever made Leo. Keep going Leo
izoneoutzi1 this one explains a lot of stuff indeed
I JUST MADE A GROUND-BREAKING DISCOVERY. THE WORDS "MYSTICISM" "EPISTEMOLOGY" "HOLISM' ARE ADDED TO THE INTRO SONG
Congratulations, you've achieved a mindfulness level of 47. Of course you missed "systems thinking" and "non-duality". Also the slogan is now "insights for living a profound life". I'm mindfuller than you.
For newcomers to this channel they are.
Markus self help ain't about how much better you are than everyone else XDD. it's called Self Help...
Actually newcomers most probably haven't heard those words / don't know what they mean.
Skull Breaker pppppo
To me, Leo, this is quite possibly the best video you've made. I've watched several, and with this video I can't stop nodding and saying "Oh man, that's me, that's me there too, that's my ex, that's my Mom... etc..." My whole life I could see that balance was crucial, and never understood why so much of the masses do not seem to be as aware. Then I realized, most of us are aware, most people, like me, think they have achieved balanced, but have simply bought entirely into another extreme...or we feel like we endlessly pursue it, never fully achieving, forgetting to look back at our successes. For me my issue is that over-achieving success-seeking creative-beast-feeding mentality, mixed with being far too brutally honest and sharing too much at times...which I guess I'm doing now again maybe? lol, I feel like it's ok since you shared yours as well :)
Amazing! Sister and I were just talking about this topic today. The balance in life is so key. The understanding that balance is not a static thing that will be achieved, but something that will be constantly adjusted, is something that once understood can be a HUGE key in avoiding stagnancy and backsliding. Most do not understand that stagnancy truly IS backsliding - that we do not ever reach the perfect place and then hang out. We must commit ourselves to always changing, growing and maturing, otherwise we must, by law, start to backslide. As in nature - anything that is not growing, is dying. Allow for the shifts in perspectives, values and priorities. Thank you!
Michael Jacobs been waiting for you to do so. I will make videos once i get my comp working again. Just so your aware there are many ways to reach an awakening. Each student must be tackled in a different manner. Sometimes the oracle tells you what you need to hear not what is. There is actually a difference between talking about the path and walking the path. Free will is not free. Common sense is not common.
Michael Jacobs estas bien. Soy loco.
leo, self-development is helping me enjoy life, like, since the beginning. it has been really easy for me to understand you, i'm being very patient, etc. i'm meditating 35 min a day, for three months... but again, it's still early and i'm doing good, imo. just now with you always saying that it's too hard and it will take years and years is making me think if i'm not fooling myself or doing something wrong.
Leo, this is not to to be taken ironically, but you are the GENIUS! After Alan Watts, I thought we'll have to wait for eons on somebody of this capacity! THANK YOU, Saverio Valenti, a guy from Italy who is doing some similar stuff in italian here on YT, for mentioning your channel several times in his videos and finally for my curiosity which brought me then to Actualized.org! A huge change in my life happened since that time! Thank you Dear Soul!
I started to observe your growth few months ago, I think that your way to becoming a sage is working. This video is a good example
I don't like to say this in public I mean to my friends..
All my life is about balance my mum keeps telling me to always work on my balance and I'm doing that really well.
Leo I didn't watch your videos until I saw balance and NOW I understand why your audience comment that you are God metaphorical off course.
You are really unique person, unique human being.
Peace and balance be with you!
I found this after watching several self development videos and several “self development is ruining your life” ones. Mindblowing. I love this.
I've been thinking a lot about balance in the past few weeks and was happily surprised to see you post this. The last ten minutes with the mixing board metaphor were pure gold!
This channel is really tuned right to my mixing bored. For example The right balance between spirituality and down to earth development teachnics
This was a very valuable video for me. I think I'm somewhat lost in philosophical theory, overthinking concepts and trying to involve them in my life. The idea of a dynamic equilibrium makes a lot of sense to me, finding your own balance given knowledge of both ends of a spectrum. Thanks Leo.
These videos help me realise that regardless how abnormal I feel... I'm quite normal for my abnormalities. These videos allow me to realise I'm not alone, so thank you.
Michael Jacobs totally! I've only recently found self help and love how everyone's journey is different, it's a topic I'm now passionate about... thank you for the comment
I’m an audio engineer. The mixing board analogy just put everything into perspective. Thank you.
Thanks Leo, another trap you mention that i really need at this moment. There is not one video in this channel that is not important. Maybe few of your videos are not important now for some people, but later. I am only grateful there is a channel like this in the world that almost lose its way. I hope in this era of information this kind of videos reach many people so more and more people can wake themselves up.
This really pairs nicely with a realization Ive had, which is that a life lived 100% mechanically is bound to fail. Be conscious of the stuff going on within and around you; do not rely on a mechanical set of rules to act as a fail-safe for your life. Great video Leo, your points keep giving myself and my friends more and more power to grow.
Brilliant! I don't know about anyone else who at this time has the ability to articulate this as open minded as you. What an extraordinary gift this is to humanity. Thanks.
I love this, great vid Leo! I had the same problem with balancing idealism and pragmatism but didn't notice it until you mentioned it; I was always looking down at people who didn't share my 'higher values' without actually appreciating the world for what it is.
Thank you Leo. I was struggling with this concept. I was not aware that I was struggling with it. I could not reconcile how important one thing should be with respect to another regarding the choices I have to make for my career.
The way I felt at the end of the video was that you are like the Oracle in the Matrix. You tell people exactly what they need to hear. It is up to me now, to believe, and make things happen. Please keep up the excellent work.
This video is very relevant; At first, I thought some of Leo's videos have contradictory messages, but now I think that it's just a matter of balance between the two messages. For example, in the minimalism video, Leo basically says forgo unnecessary social interactions, but in the confidence video, he says to expose yourself to a lot of social interactions.
Wow, just finished this. Loved it. I love your vids Leo because they're basic things that we should inherently know but just don't take time to think about. Your example usage and the depth you take these fundamental starting points to is wonderful. Please keep up the great work, you're changing lives.
Great video Leo! I learned that balance is about not being attached to any way of life. It is impossible to be dynamic if your feeling of lack persists in certain situations. If you are no longer attached to situations or experiences, you can be totally flexible based on the needs of the situation. You will no longer feel threatened by situations if you "learn the nature of the one that is threatened". Because if you believe you can be harmed by the forms in life, you will fear types of people, situations, and experiences that all don't appear to fulfill your "lack". It's crazy how understanding reality, yourself, and how resistance and desire work can lead to acceptance, wholistic understanding, and all of those things. I think it's key to understand that all people have the same essential feelings of desire and fear yet based on their life circumstances, these feelings have manifested in different ways that might conflict with what you want and what you resist; therefore, we are all operating on the same mechanisms. I like the blog a lot
so so good!
Leo, I have been on your forum and I have watched all of your videos. I have watched "be fucking patient" over 2 dozen times from front to back. Just want to let you know how much I appreciate you and how big of an impact you have made in my life. Thank you so much for your wisdom. Hope to meet you one day.
+Michael Carter` Cool
"Don't you dare touch my knobs!" Great analogy, well put.
It's like adding a whole dimension to arguments and life in general
Hey Leo hopefully you read this comment I've decided I'm going to be commenting on all the videos I watch moving forward I've been watching you everyday for almost 2 weeks now an audio a day and it's really opened my eyes to just how asleep I am in life and how much space I have to grow and this excites me thank you so much for making these videos and passing on your wisdom
Really REALLY well said. I had the same realization about a month ago that all political disagreements are about preferences in balance rather than the issue itself. Way cool. I love watching you grow as I watch myself grow.
This is a much more thorough and valuable perspective of balance than what first comes to mind when one thinks of balance as important wisdom for life seeking.
Your intent with making your videos funnier and more entertaining is definitely shining through. I laugh at least a couple of times! Just wanted to give you this feedback, so you know it works out. At least for me, I love the topics anyway.
Leo, just want to say well done. I had a bad drug experience and started to watch your videos, and they were pretty much my guide to bettering myself. Now I'm working as a personal trainer in my own business doing what I love the most, Fitness. Thank you for your guidance it was most needed.
not to mention my conscience has greatly evolved!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i now know I'm not my thorts, am 100 times happier and am Medetating an hour a day!!!!
it's unheard of the happiness it has brung to me and my freinds and family thankyou ;)
It's crazy! Yesterday I pulled two 3 friends aside and told them that I learned from them to relax. I been so busy trying to be the best me I can. I'm in the process creating BALANCE 🙇🏾
" The Buddha himself could give you wrong advice " - Leo Gura
That really just hit home with me
Penny dropped !
Thanks Leo!
I loved your analogy of the mixing board to understand balance (or lack thereof) for each individual.
gosh, i really love what we learn from the videos, i looked at the blogs somehow it does not jive much with me but that is because i have a learning difference ,learn more by hearing, so hopefully i can get those books you recommend on audio
Hi, I really want to say how much I really enjoyed your videos, and this one in particular. I completely agree that one of the most challenging things in life is finding a balance, often times because you don't realize that you are in an extreme position until something dramatic happens. I just came out of a situation in which my job was my whole life for the pass year and a half. Needless to say my personal life suffered for it and eventually my work performance began to suffer because my personal life became more problematic. It was a vicious cycle. I eventually quit my job and took some time out to reassess the direction I wanted my life to go and to salvage my relationships and it certainly wasn't easy. I think that the most intimidating part of recognizing that you are in an extreme position, is trying to re-balance yourself. Mainly because a lot of your identity is associated with these beliefs and without them, you are a bit loss on who you are.
Hi Leo. This might not be your video with the most important topic. You have done videos on way deeper and greater topics. But I feel like this is one of your best videos. You really struck a chord. You delivered this subject in an impressive way. I seldom see people so on point. Great work!
About dynamic balance...
Not only that, but the dynamic balance adds up experience through our life, and as long as this universe exists, we will accumulating knowledge. Think of this in that way: Let's say you want to learn many instruments really well, you play everyday 20 minutes one instrument, for a total of 12 hours, which leads to 36 instruments, well. After a decade, you will probably know how to play all of them, but you will, much probably, not play them all REALLY GOOD. If you take an different approach and take a group of 3/4 instruments per day with this 12 hours, after a decade you will probably be really good with these instruments.
Another example would be language learning, if you try to learn many languages in one year you will not learn really well the languages you choose, but if you, on another approach, take one language per year you will learn really better.
The way to benefit from this tactic is by cycling through these learning cycles, you might forget a little bit of what you've learned when you were practicing other instruments or languages, but if you try to return, it will be really faster, because something is kept inside of you as principle, that can't be forgotten, like learning to ride a bicycle, you can never unlearn it, unless you have brain damage.
That is the only way i see to become a real jack of all trades and master of many!
ALSO LEO SHOULD REALLY DIVULGE ACTUALIZED.ORG "BLUEPRINT" ONCE AGAIN, IT IS A REALLY GOOD RESOURCE!
As a musician I think that mixing desk metaphor for balance is fantastic. Like constantly EQing a frequency to make it sound good and adapting as it changes :).
Great videos. Thank you Leo.
Leo, excellent talk. Common sense which we all tend to ignore and we all need reminding of to live a happy life.
I suffered huge imbalance meditating too much last year. I stopped meditating (temporarily for now) and move life is flowing awesomely.
one of the best videos of TH-cam! This should be seen by millions
Leo, you are one of the best content creators on YT. It makes me sad to see so few views on this video. People are missing out a lot of great stuff.
Find the balance and cultivate in a positive way the 8 pillars of life
•body
•materialistic stuff
•relationships
•emotions
•sense of purpose
•spirituality
•mind
•enviroment
Hey Leo :)
I am turning 21 and for the first time in my life i feel like i understand whats happening to me, especialy in my brain i feel like understanding the greater picture of myself. I still have a lot to discover :) and thanks to your videos i am getting a push in the correct direction . Thank you for being who you want to be.
I love the mixing board analogy. I spend a lot of time creating, so I find sliders or faders very relevant. And those sliders, they are never set the same twice for some things, yet for others, presets work fine. Still checking the settings again never hurts.
You are on of the most helpful people out there, thank you so much Leo
"Virtue is the Golden Mean between two extremes" - Aristotle
Thank you Leo! I'm very excited to be your disciple for 3 years. My life is awesome!
Leo, how I would have got through the last few months without your videos, I don't know. Thank you. You have helped my recovery and will continue to mentor me after that.
You could command incredible guest lecture fees at colleges and universities! Do a UK tour!
Thank you Leo, great talk. "Neurotic discipline" topic is a good advice for taking care of liberty and liberation. Another topic you talk, is the balance between incondicional love and abuse. In a relationship that I had, I had some difficulty in balancing unconditional love with the need to say no and deny more times, until I understood that my girlfriend was sometimes guided by the urgency and need for pleasure and satisfaction of her ego.In fact, a Jesuit friend of mine gave me some advice on that issue.
i didnt like the last view of your episodes, but i knew another great one would come.
and here it is. great video leo
You've got some lovely advice. We're all in this together, we all find our balance in our own time, whether we're a "lame" starving artist or seemingly have it all figured out..
Leo your work is always amazing, i hope you dont stop making these videos for a while. I appreciate your teachings.
That mixing board analogy was such an eye opener. It's something I don't wanna forget, maybe I should buy a mixing board just to have it around as a bold reminder lol.
the hard work you do to get the point to us is mesmerizing
thank you alot man
I'm an audio engineer and I loved the mixing board analogy! Thanks Leo!
Leo, great stuff once again! Are you Obi-wans son?
bald enough to be part of the jedi order
+Noline19 I ALMOST PISSED MYSELF LAUGHING
Leo you are a great person I wish all the people will think invest themselves first
Thanks leo ,
I really like and enjoy how well your videos are explained .
I use as many things i can integrate in my life as possible.
There are so many things i need to let go for now, because its so hard to keep up every new week with your new content.
The Last 3 months were crazy I had so many ups and downs and so many things that I changed.
(Changes in diet, stomach problems, anxiety,... and so on.)
Thanks again, you for content helps me a lot in my life !
I love how you mentioned a static and dynamic balance.
Static balance is always preached, but dynamic balance, not so much.
You are absolutely right. Practice should be along with theory.
MIXING-BOARD METAPHOR
Lol, dude this is so smart. See there's you tubers who crank out content because it makes them money and there's a handful of youtubers who actually do it for a purpose or "art". Leo has never advocated that you can be better person by strictly "watching" his videos. In fact, he's almost selling himself short by essentially saying, " you can listen to what I have to say all day long but if you don't actually DO anything about it then you might as well not even subscribe"
"This is how the egoic consciousness works. It goes to one extreme and it uses the other extreme as a boogie man." - I lolled at this so hard. :-D
Absolutely profound episode -- very needed.
I love the knob analogy. Very enlightening video and I shall ponder over the concepts explored in this video today
Leo, you are doing good work toward reaching the critical mass needed to send us into a new world!!!
Loved the metaphore with the mixerboard in the end
Dear Leo, this is a very big topic for me on actualize. Because from the moment I started really watching your channel I had ONE big question in my mind. I know for newbies, this might not be something to consider yet. But It's hard to continue a life of Mindfulness when there's a possibility that one can actually, after letting go of all their ideals and ego that a person could get to a state of being TOO BALANCED
So my question is, how to avoid the imbalance of balance itself. Because a struggle in my life has actually been the lack of any ideals can also be damaging. Ideas must also be something we balance because without them entirely 100% then we may enter a state of too much balance. Where we have a lack the foundation on which to stand. But I've heard you mention that we restructure our foundation. Not eliminate it. So my real question is... What is the foundation for a self actualized lifestyle on a daily example. Because if we are constantly up in the air about opinions on things then the unbalance would be that we lack the ability to make decisions at times when picking a side can be nessecary. And when it comes to making a decision, we need some direction we lean in more than another. But if we have complete open mindedness then where is the ability to find a decision when we have no ideals on how to lean?
Also, do you find it possible to live too much of an actualized life style? Could this be something we also need to find balance in?
I'd appreciate an answer.
Sincerely, Maddy.
Just wanted to thank you, your videos are making a real difference.
You are just great! I am just waiting for your new videos and hopefully you junst continue inspiring us. I dowlowded ur inligtment- meditation video and mediatate accordingling almost every day
There is an ability that balance the abilities.
This is a very informative and mind-blowing video . Thank you , Leo
you are a sage already, leo.
Timothy Price wut the hell, you actually didn't insult Leo......
great tea
ghost ghetto
what's the difference between an insult and a compliment?
Leo, you are wise and giving. I thank you for your thoughtful efforts in sharing/guiding/teaching.
day 3 of 5 leo, thank you for joining me on this wild journey. You are an anchor.
Haha loved the mixing board analogy (and the mixing board).
Leo this was one of the best videos I have seen of yours. I've seen over 100 of your videos. Thank you! 😍⚡🔌📈📉🎹📚
Balance: Some methods work for some but not for others, I start to see how important it is to study this stuff, we still will fall down some traps though, all of us. I see Osho for example was against religion; "it's unbelievable that this guy was enlightened and still stayed as a Christian, absolutely unacceptable", so even the most enlightened masters fall down these traps, well that's how it is to be human. What you should do depends on the situation, a good way to find your balance is simply to follow your authentic desires, but sometimes it works and is even better to force yourself to follow a healthy diet and then notice that you feel amazing.
Leo I heard your content before, but out of nowhere I decided to purchased a Pablo cohelo earlier today, and the same evening I heard this video where you narrated a Pablo cohelo story, n it definitely intrigued me, so I am officially Subscribed to your channel
please talk about.. ralationship with onself, the will of life..
Good video man. Your ability to speak and present is phenomenal, world class.
Hi Leo, I hope this finds you well. I wanted to thank you for posting Will Young's song on your blog. It made me cry at some point, and I shared it with many people around me who told me they either smiled or felt love, like I did. A bit unrelated to this video which is great by the way but thank you.
Sweet :)
loved the ending explanation with the knobs
Thank you Leo. I have some problems with balance, but I am in going in the right direction. I am balancing some of these. I need so much more, but this helps me in so many ways.
Excellent video! You made me realize one of the most important things in my life.
I've noticed this myself in my life. This is so key to everything you wanna do. Great in depth video on it
sound board analogy was beautiful
Feels good to get my ideas confirmed by you !
this is really what happening to me now because last year im too rigid to myself. But dont worry there's long way to run to find this balance.
Thank you for this teaching.
