A brief story about my upbringing.

I was born into a single mother household, i had about three conversations with my father throughout my lifetime and my mom was incompetent in raising me at any stage of my life. She spent her entire life making money to purchase fancy things to show off to her friends. I went into addictive gaming from the age of nine until twenty two and during the duration of that time i didn't gain real world skills. At school i never focused on studying because of that i lack the foundation of knowledge in all areas. In short I'm an unpolished gem.

I have massive life problems and the only way to overcome and solve them and future problems I will face is to become better equipped to do so.

- Cut out video games, junk food and negative habits permanently

- Minimalism I keep my budget tight and save to a radical degree
- I'm learning more about investments and building my financial future

- Reading 2000-3000 Quality books to get a better understanding of how things work
- Working out and building my body has become my new passion

- Developing my level of game and attempting to sleep with more than 300 women
- I've developed my social skills to be many folds better than since i started working on it

- Reading a dictionary and increasing my knowledge of the English language
- Listen to as much as audio books as possible
- Learning two more languages aside from the two i know to be able to communicate with the majority of the world.

- Applying to become an Electrician in an accredited trade school
- I will travel to different provinces of Canada to choose one that is good for Electricians and has a reasonable cost of living like Edmonton, Alberta

- I am well aware of all the pitfalls of society like divorce, children, etc and completely immune to it

What I need to know is
- Is there anything else i can improve upon?
- What other things do i have to worry about because of my single motherhood background
- I'm at the age of twenty three am I behind of everyone else?
- Different perspective of my situation

* What habits are you cutting out? How are you cutting them out? Better yet, when are you doing these things?
* 2000-3000 books? That's... a staggering amount. I read a lot. I read about a book a week, cover to cover. What's the timeline for this goal? Over a lifetime? I don't want to discourage you, but this isn't a realistic goal. Focus on reading a few good books on different topics. The Deep Forum has dozens of lists and recommendations about a wide range of topics, take a look at it. You won't have to read a dictionary to increase your vocabulary if you become a prolific reader, just make sure you're setting a goal that's feasible.
*What have you already done to improve your game? What will you continue doing in your future to make it even better? Again, what's your timeline to sleep with 300 women? What are you at now? How are you going to get from A to B?
*Age isn't a problem, there are guys who are getting started living their lives in their 40's and 50's, 23 ain't a problem.

I'm glad you're taking massive determined action to change the course in your life, but I want details on how you're going to do it.

I wouldn't read a dictionary per se... But a good rule of thumb for learning new words is to always look up any word that you don't know, immediately - that way you can learn the meaning of the word and also get a strong feel for its context because you had just read it in a passage.

But otherwise you seem to have a good plan going.

Only thing I'd add is to not neglect your spiritual life. Your spirit also needs development, just like your body and your mind.

I already cut my bad habits out a year ago since the age of 22 I've never done anything that would negatively impact my life such as video games, drugs etc.

I would like to read 2000-3000 high quality books in book format. How I will do this is to dedicate massive amounts of time to it.
Some of my entire weekends will be reading books none stop.
The time frame of reading 3000 books will be 3-6 years. I know it seems impossible but I'm heavily invested in this goal.

Why I'm so pro reading is because I see how much it changed my life from my thinking to problem solving. I don't think most people understand how life changing reading can become.

I will be listening to podcasts during work outs.

When I read books there is barely any words that I do not know the meaning of and even when there is i know the point the author is trying to make.
What I hope to get out of reading a dictionary is to perfect my vocabulary.

My goal of sleeping with 300 women will be based on dating sites getting women to Netflix and chill. My previous experience with dating sites is that it's easy to pull woman. If my plan does not succeed I will go to swingers clubs where i can sleep with 10 women a day.
Being attractive I can hook up with woman far easier than others and would need the basics of game.
While going to trade school to become an Electrician during the morning
I'll be in school and after school ill be gaming woman.
These two goals will be started when i start school in five months from now.

My Purpose is to live the best life possible and eventually end up in Philippines, Egypt, Indonesia or another good expat destination which will allow me to live the lifestyle I want. At 50 I want to marry a 22- 26 year old virgin godly girl of Muslim or Christian faith. With the retirement I save up during my working years I'm going to live a middle class lifestyle there until i die. I Haven't worked out all the details of my end goal.

At one full book a day, it'll still take you nearly 10 years to achieve this. One page per minute x 300 pages = 5 hours a day of reading. Combine this with sleeping, banging girls, etc. you won't make it. A goal of 100 would be way more realistic. Personally I aim for a book a month.

Good idea. One thing though, step out of the "motivational speech" circle and listen to more concrete advice. It can be whatever: bodybuilding, business, etc. but it needs to have an actual purpose.

Look up a word right away when you do not understand the meaning. It helps you get it better in your mind.

That's the spirit, man. Improve yourself, become a better man, and settle down with a young virgin. That's what every successful man should do.

I will try, but forgive me if it turns out to be a poor effort.

There is a Great Mystery buried into the very structure of our existence. We are forced to live a life of many questions that will never have answers.

Yet, it seems that we have been created to somewhat dimly comprehend those answers. Like people who develop macular degeneration, we have a dim, peripheral vision for dealing with life's mysteries, although we do not have the ability to focus directly on them. We can, through contemplation, reading, prayer and meditation, slowly get to a better grip with those answers.

It is a neverending, ceaseless struggle. For no matter how wise and spiritual we become, we will never have the full, final answer. This is denied to us, at least in this existence.

And even when we partly master the answers, often the answers are impossible to share. They are not like ideas, that can be taught to someone; they are experiences, inherently unshareable, inherently personal.

But even though the task is ultimately futile, it is worth striving towards the Great Mystery, to chip at least some of that Mystery away and have something that can serve as an answer in the dark times of one's life.

We all have to experience loss, grow old, and die. Have mastered some of the Great Mystery, we can take these things in our stride; but fail to develop your spirit, and these challenges can crush you entirely.

One man's challenge is another man's destruction - the difference between the two is often a matter of faith and hope. And faith and hope naturally come to a strong spirit, a spirit that has grown from wrestling with the Great Mystery.

You don't want to wait until life comes with some or other crushing challenge; spirit is best grown during the good times, when you least need to call upon it.

And how does one deal with the Great Mystery? I can't tell you how to do that. Some men fight it, some men pray to it, some men worship it, some men meditate on it. That there are so many paths, all claiming to be the ultimate truth, is a part of the Mystery.

But overall, prayer seems to be a consistent helpful way to begin the struggle. Reading shorter religious works is also a good way to start. Proverbs and Ecclesiastes are good places to start.
