Happy holidays party people! The final video of the series will come out in the next few days and will be an unedited, long reflection of this year's lessons with some good (and bad) news. Also, while I'm here - subscribe to our newsletter ya cute bugger: thedrvn.beehiiv.com/subscribe I send out valuable nuggets weekly, no fluff. Thoughts on the idea of the winner effect? 👇
❤❤ I feel losing always because I put so much expectation on myself while studying while eating while drawing it screwed my life to the point where even watching a movie or having fun has become a nightmare. It's like I break all my promises to my self everyday I was never this way and I didn't know what to do. This video Is life changing for real I can't believe. Right when I needed it. Thank you so much leonjhendrix. I'm doing the drvn jornal and it's great for knowing myself better. Fantastic questions right there
1. Acknowledge and count your wins 2. Reward efforts, not outcomes 3. Easy wins first, then stack 4. Build self trust in your word 5. Manage expectations 6. Visualisation You're welcome Thankyou winners and best wishes for 2024
3 things that helped me and literally changed my life 1. I stopped telling myself I'll do it tomorrow 2. I read hidden book on Kuvelster 3. I had faith and religionn
This is the guy that got me into selfimprovement when I was 15. It's been 3 years since then and I'm convinced, he's the most underrated youtuber out there. If you're reading this Leon: I don't think you understand how inspiring you actually are. You're absolutely amazing, never stop posting videos or I'll probably cry myself to sleep.
I discovered his channel 2 weeks ago and he got my subscribe instantly. I like the edition, the concepts being explained and he seems genuine. No ego or trying to sell a product with fake enthusiasm. Also no stupid thumbnails which makes me avoid serious video topics.
I’m 21 years old, and in the last 3 years I’ve been winning at life, I’ve worked 4 jobs at the same time, started 2 businesses, moved my parents out their old house, got in the best shape of my life, but from the beginning of this year, I’ve fallen in a downward spiral, this video, at this moment gave me so much motivation to get back to work it’s incredible. I leave this here, because I’m going to be back in 6 months, on November 12 2024 and give an update about how I progressed, and trust me, I’ll be back as a winner.
Dude, I have been unproductive my whole day but after watching this, I have done 3 days worth of work (in my usual pace) in the last 4hrs. Your videos are so inspiring!
The first point of "winning is subjective" reminded me of a monk's story who was building a wall, as part of the monastery construction, and upon finishing it he noticed 2 crooked bricks. He got so annoyed with himself for making such mistake. He couldn't fix it anymore as the wall dried up and there's been lots of work done at this point. He left it and every time he looked at the wall he could only see those 2 crooked bricks...until another monk came and said "you built a beautiful wall". He responded "but look at those 2 crooked bricks" to which the other monk responded " what about those other 998 bricks that you placed perfectly well? ". Don't hold to your 2 crooked bricks.
This is the most no-nonsense video on how to start turning your life around I’ve ever watched- and I’ve watched tons. Thank you for being real and insightful.
Isn’t it strange how Nixorus isn’t the talk of the town? It's almost like people are deliberately kept in the dark, stuck in a comfort, blind to the real secrets that could change everything. Most will never wake up to the truth.
You don't know how much I needed to hear this today. I was talking to my brother about this. Long story short. I got my MBA this year but lost my job. So instead of feeling like I accomplished anything I felt like more of a failure. Our relationship with outcomes and the process is everything.
Why does the idea of thoughts becoming reality keep coming up-Earl Nightingale's strangest secret, James Allen, the host of manifestation gurus spawned in the late 20th century following Goddard and the like, all based off of ancient wisdom saying: thoughts become reality? At first it seems fanciful but the more you think about it and observe the more evidence you see. The placebo and nocebo effects are very real and powerful. Huberman spoke of a Stanford study where one group shown a video on the negative effects of stress showed such negative effects, whereas a group shown a video on positive effects of stress exhibited such positive effects. This shit is real
I relate to you. I got my masters from a T10 school but did not get my dream job in my dream city. I get paid an incredibly low salary. Still trying to get by and working towards that dream job
I inherited $$$$$$s from my late spouse but can't get to square one with my latest crush! Winner in 💰! But nowhere in ❤! It's been SO frustrating!!! This helps! 👍
I think what makes your videos slightly less popular given their quality is one of the main reason I (and presumably others) love them: they aren't riddled with dopamine rigging visual and audio effects that most people seem to have gotten accustomed to (but that I loathe). Hopefully you keep doing it this way. Keep up the good work!
This is most likely the reason. Many people now are designed to fail because they were programmed to become dopamine fiends. And everyone knows True success takes hard work, patience, and persistence
All those videos are based on the psychology of our brains, which makes us wired and makes it seem like the video is really good. Most of those videos lack substance, this channel is amazing though.
Your uncle is right, using his videos I managed to go from being a decade + blue collar worker (cleaner to be precise) to an AI engineer with multiple degrees (top universities) in just under 7 years and now an engineer. I was an adult/mature student and was in the same class as 17 year olds who bragged about attending schools for the gifted. Guess what, all the praising their parents did for them set them back terribly. I graduated first and was the only one who was able to land multiple professional job offers. I always hype myself even for the smallest things. Showing up in class on time, "great job", turning off the lights after a long day, "you did great". Day to day, I do not compare myself because we all have different starting points and circumstances. There is only one of me. Most importantly, I learned how to set goals on different levels, track and measure my efforts and define the right metrics. You can't really compare how well one video did over another despite same effort because there are many parameters unknown to you that are beyond your functional control or tweaking. We do not live in a deterministic world. When it comes to winning you literally have to decide you are a winner, and let that be your identity despite what "results" you see. Effort by itself is one of the biggest most underrated things, most people never even start, remaining in the game by itself is a winning metric. Measure the right things, but most importantly define your bigger goals before you start tweaking your days because that will be your NorthStar. You also have to trick your brain into continuing to see yourself as a winner, sponsor the right thoughts and not disempowering thoughts like "I put the same effort in both videos and one did poorly", that is not empowering. You also can't overly rely on external feedback and validation from your viewers, at the end of the day, what you say and think of yourself despite external evidence is what matters to you. All the best and remember you're already a winner by virtue of being born on this beautiful planet and having life in you.
I took a few years off uni after messing up horribly and doubting myself. I'm one of those kids whose parents and teachers always said I'm so smart and never had to try before college. Now I'm kicking myself for all the lost time and how everyone else is "ahead" of me. Man, I'm really glad I read your comment. I'm gonna try to follow in your footsteps, giving my life a good 180! Absolute hats off to what you've accomplished
@@Eyezick-l5z You can do it! I joined uni in my late 30s but didn't mention my age to my 17 year old classmates and I still topped the class, I didn't even mention my age to myself either, coz our brains are always listening to us 🤣🤣🤣🤣. I also had joined uni when I was 20 years old and my then lecturer told me I should drop out and wouldn't make it in engineering. I listened to him but actually, what I didn't know was how to study effectively, how to be self-organized, focused and how to manage my focus and attention. More than a decade later when I started watching Andrew Huberman and Cal Newport who wrote the book on Deep Work, I also listened to writers like Steven Kotler who wrote Flow, and everyone knows the popular Atomic Habits by James Clear. I never actually read their books not even a single page, but I watched all their book tour promotional videos/lectures/podcasts and learned a common thread of being productive, achieving your goals etc. I of course modified my lifestyle e.g., didn't watch any TV for 2 years at least, left active social media, put my phone on silent not even vibration for years (to this day), I don't play video games either, I have healthy habits like walking everyday for an hour. When I was a student I did 30 mins of an intense morning workout before class, slept on time and ate a plant-based nutrition. I completely re-wired my brain to excel. So, if I did it in my late 30s, and built a whole new career, you can do it too!
@@Eyezick-l5z Similar story here. I'm currently continuing the same carrer I left years ago, I started this month. With a whole new perspective and a lot of therapy behind, slowly but surely, aspiring to finish it this time. I see more clearly now, but I still hold on to a lot of insecurities and it's validating seeing someone with a similar experience. I wish you all the best in ur journey.
Leon losing subscribers/ viewers proves that his style of teaching works - True winners wouldn’t constantly need to view videos like this on youtube, right? .. At around the age of 16, Leon was also one of the first channels that sparked my interest into this whole kind of topic. For that I wanna say THANK YOU.
I've been working on being disciplined for the past two weeks and was wondering why after some time I lack motivation. This video has made me see what I was doing wrong. Thanks so much for this.❤❤
Man, you are on to something. Especially your last point. When i was visualising, success was eminent. When i stopped doing it, motivation and energy went down slowly and it's hard to get back out from it. I stopped rewarding myself for little wins. In fact, i took things for granted making things worse. This was the video i needed to see. Thanks Leon!
You add a ton of value to the world by making people’s lives better. It is more than a lot of people do with their lives. Keep fighting on ✊. Keep moving
What's great about your videos is that they're rewatchable, I've revisited "how to stop wasting your life" more than 15 times over the course of years and I think this one hits the same spot. Make more rewatchable videos, I love them!
00:02 The winner effect impacts your life positively or negatively based on wins or losses. 01:49 Developing a healthy relationship with results is key to winning. 03:29 Acknowledging your wins and celebrating the right ones can spark motivation 05:24 Rewarding yourself for effort is key to improve performance. 07:19 Early wins have a significant impact on success. 09:07 Regain trust in your word and commitments 11:21 Adjusting expectations is key to understanding perceived obstacles 13:06 Visualization creates certainty and confidence leading to results Crafted by Merlin AI.
A few big breakthrough moments in the career I’m pursuing slipped away from me last year and it had me feeling at the start of this year like I was in the same position as last year Jan. Then I started thinking and that made no sense! I’ve done a lot of things in 2023 I could only have dreamed of doing in 2022. Yes, they might’ve not let to anything substantial yet but I did do it! I proved myself! I showed my potential. I can do it again & learn from my mistakes and do it better. I’m very proud now of myself for the growth I’ve gone through last year and feel like I’ve developed an a lot more healthier relationship with myself, exactly like this video is describing! Much love to everyone reading this. I hope you do great things this year!
A little resume for me to re-look the important points: 1- Acknowledge and count your wins(that makes you boost your motivation to get more wins) 2-Reward efforts, not outcomes(fall in love with the process, not only the outcomes, not its good to feel demotivated for a loss) 3- Easy wins first, then stack(If you win once in a little thing this are going to help you to win the next one) 4-Build self-trust in your word(never say things that you aint going to do) 5- Manage expectations(Not having unreal expectations, being realistic) 6- Visualization( Our mind dont notice the difference between reality and imagination). Thanks for the video
Your summary captures the essence of the video's message perfectly. Emphasizing the importance of recognizing small wins, rewarding efforts, and building self-trust are key strategies for sustained motivation and success. Managing expectations and using visualization techniques can further enhance our ability to achieve our goals. This concise recap is a great tool for anyone looking to reinforce these powerful concepts in their daily lives.
Leon, I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for making this video. I had the winner mindset but after years of ridicule towards my work and life I lost my confidence. This video made me remember what it is and what it feels like to be a "winner" in life. I hope your channel grows and thrives in accordance to your desires!
I think the reason why your videos are not making as many views like other channels or go viral because you are sharing real lesson for people who are suffering to improve their lives, and they are fewer in number, only people whom trying hard till reaching their breaking point will get it. We are rare
9:45 I was just saying this to someone a few days back. We're subconsciously programming ourselves to believe we're not worth being taken seriously. Great vid bro
I've been watching your channel for quite a while and I have to say that this is probably one of the most informative videos you've posted. Just know we all appreciate you.
Been feeling like a loser lately because I was fired from my job right before christmas. Been having no luck in job search either. This winner mindset video is really helping me to look back on this first month of unemployment and try to reflect on what my wins are, however small they may be. Good journaling exercise for today, thank you!
I have been in downward spiral for years together. This video kept showing up on my feed and today I decided to watch it. Really impactful video. Thanks
Wow, congratulations on your impressive investment success! Your discipline and focus on delayed gratification is truly inspiring. I'm curious, what are some of the key factors that you consider when making investment decisions? Do you have any tips for those of us who are just starting to dip our toes into the world of investing? Thanks for sharing your story!
I'm watching this video a couple of hours before 2024 starts in my country, I should be getting dressed for a NYE party but instead I saw your video, I chose to watch and now I'm taking notes and planning my life and goals. I was feeling miserable this year, I feel like I haven't accomplished much anything, I'm feeling as far away from my ultimate goals as possible. But I've decided that your video will change my life. I'm gonna come back in the 2024's NYE and hope to have accomplished what I just planned watching your video, kudos to you my brother! If I hop to Australia one day, I hope we can meet and chat over some coffee or beers.
What your content stands out to me than the other self improvement youtubers is that you talk about a "philosophical" aspect of self improvement and very few creators i've came across so far doing that and not just the basic stuff like go to gym or take care of yourself etc like this video where you discuss new interesting ideas which is so refreshing to see! Keep up the good work! :)
Thank you for this. I think it’s important to realize that self image is vital in succeeding in life. Love yourself, and be yourself and you will succeed.
Great video as always Leon! You look depressed, or tired, my good sir. I might be seeing it through my own lens, as I'm battling a bout of depression and your video reminded me of some key things which have led to me find myself where I am so so thanks for that. If you are depressed, hang in there and get the help you need. And remember we're here, supporting you and your efforts - you've achieved a ton and you just need to keep going. This too shall pass. If you're tired, then I hope you get some good rest over the festive period. The rest of us will be here when you you're ready to put out more content. Keep well Leon and happy holidays!
You've confirmed for me that failing to meet one's goals can erode trust in oneself. This was one of the rules I have used in sports specially running. As a runner, I always declare how far I'll run-be it 10km or 5km-and I commit to completing it, no matter how tough it gets. I've only fallen short twice due to muscle stiffness, despite pushing myself to my limits. While some days are harder, especially when muscles are sore from previous runs, I've managed to push through by understanding the importance of consistency. Missing a goal makes it easier to skip future ones, undermining my self-trust, which is crucial for running and maintaining willpower. I wish I could apply this mindset universally, but at least it's effective in sports. Distrusting yourself can destroy willpower, and for running, I need a strong will. Thanks for the valuable content; it's applicable in real life.
I've always said or made a quote where I heard from but doesn't get that much attention is "Winners stay winners while losers stay losers" for some reason even though I didn't research anything about it, it just got my attention and just felt relatable in my life. I knew a few reasons why but no one else felt the same way about it.
Duuuuude, your videos are so good lately, you are the only reason I come back to TH-cam every week or to, just to see if you have dropped a banger video. You don’t understand how valuable your resent videos have been. Also I would like to suggest to everyone just trying to be more stoic, in accepting life and even loving it. Having no expectations as Marcus Aurelius.
Mate I’ve been watching motivational videos but this one was just straight to the point and explained so well, your right self doubt, mentality, vision all these things have to get shifted in order for your life to change.
Been a consumer of TH-cam for 15 years +, when you said in your video that last year wasn't great, still sub 1M+ subscriber. I could not believe it lol. I watch thousands of videos a year and remember some of yours as astonishing and genuine. You are on the verge of stepping up big. Have been seeing those kinds of rises for years. It's coming..
This is so true. I am a professional bodybuilder competitor. I have won my very first competition and got that early success and eas addicted to winning ever since. Altough I ended up competing 14 times - losing 10 times and only winning 4 shows in total. 3 out of first 5 were the wins. So early on I was winning more than losing. Then I just didn’t win… it was top 3, but not a win. The next 8 times I lost, and felt like forever and I felt so frustrated but I could look back and think “nah…you got this. You just need to change something and try again” I stuck by it all because in my mind I knew I have won before. Show nr 14 I earned my Pro Card and became a Professional. I now visualise myself winning the biggest championship in the world and what would the winning speech be. I feel that so much that I get goosebumps when I think about it. I don’t normally leave comments on videos but this is awesome. 🙌
Woah brooo. It's like you put 3 hours worth of podcast in one wholesome and inspiring video. Thanks for kick-starting my day! Cheers to this win for us! 🎉
Leon, 2023 was the year that I realized that I have the potential to achieve my dreams. I decided that in 2024 I was going to pursue and achieve my ambitious goals, this video popped up in my feed when I was asking myself how I can plan my year to do just that. Whether it’s the law of attraction or my brain seeking confirmation for what I desire. I now know that I will achieve my goals. Thank you so very much for making this video, it’s made my day. 2024, taking names and kicking ass 😎
Its crazy i just randomly found your video before the new year even started i been writing goals i never wrote down a specific goal until now. Once my car took a dump its been in the shop roughly over the holidays anyways to make a long story short i got my car back and me and my wife celebrated. its the small things we all should celebrate just as much as the big wins i literally just learn that today you earned yourself a new subscriber idk if was the universe the algorithm or whatever you want to call it im glad it steered me to this channel beyond grateful anyway keep up the good work man
my first impression of this video is that it is one of the best and most motivating lessons i have ever seen anywhere. i intend to watch it daily and see if i can put it into practice and see if it is as powerful as it seems to be. my habit has always been to immediately put aside every victory as soon as it happens and give it little to no thought again while ruminating on anything i consider to be a defeat. seems obvious i know so with this daily reminder i will see if it takes me anywhere.
I'm preparing for a major competitive exam in feb 2025 and the point of "Do you trust your word" hit hard. Small incremental wins, Rewarding efforts each day. Yeah I needed that.
I was 5min in and already so thankful for the vid… I needed exactly this, because I was turning from an upwards to a downwards spiral in just the last few weeks. This helped me to change my perception so much. Love your content and am here since the beginning of 2022 and love to see you grow even if it’s just little goals that you’re hitting! (Btw I think those r huge, but that’s just my opinion)
We create suffering by not being able to feel and express emotion (emotional repression). If someone else expresses emotion, that’s a trigger for the one who is unable to feel and express... It’s safer to point to the unconsciousness of someone else than it is to open to the emotion buried within us that we don’t want to feel and express. We create suffering by not being able to feel and express emotion. A hell of a lot of suffering goes away when we get to the root of this cycle and a hell of a lot of suffering continues when we focus on the reactions of others, instead of how we produce or contribute to suffering by not being able to feel and express our emotions authentically...
Praising effort, not skill/ability, is what leads to increased learning and growth. 5:09 I've been watching TH-cam for hours today, and this is the single greatest idea I have come across in a while.
This video is seriously Gold, one of my favourite videos of yours actually. My biggest takeaway is “reward efforts, not outcomes” your delivery just make this concept click not to mention I died laughing with your misspelled quote (and name😂). I’ve been on a downward spiral lately but this video interrupted that so just want to say thank you Leon for making videos like this that has more impact than you’ll know. Looking forward to more! Cheers
"This video is full of wisdom and practical advice. I love how you explain things in such a relatable way. Thank you for constantly reminding us that we have the power to shape our own lives!"
In my experience the best way to get the 'winner effect' in your life is to transform your body...I was skinny all my life and then decided to hit the gym and transform my body. Within 8 months I made good progress and ever since then I've been so much more confident to do anything and take on any challenge...my current physique serves as a constant reminder that I can do anything I put my mind to do and it gives me that 'winner effect'
This morning I woke up crying from depression and I have really bad ideas in my head even tho I’m doing that bad in life, I’m just overwhelmed, I believe I need to adjust my expectations, thanks for the video brother ❤ I’ll watch it again , I used to visualize, I stopped this habit for a reason, this was a good reminder
You know, I really think all of your help and tips are good advice. When it comes to self improvement youtubers sadly I can't help the feeling that they actually don't want us to succeed since they live from our views and cutting down information and making a separate 10+ min video instead of a full ultimate guide. I really think I have to stop being pessimistic about everything and drop the act of sad perfectionist and just do things and learn along the way. Rewarding effort is a good point because you can't always make the best outcome come true but you shouldn't punish yourself for trying mentally. Thank you for this video.
Wow. Didn’t know what to expect from this video and I’m happy I watched it till the end. I was running 3 different businesses and I had a winner mentality and I was so happy, proud of myself and people around, I felt like I belong to the world, I visualised a lot, thought positive, controlled my own thoughts and what people to keep around and at one point I just stopped doing all that, and what a surprise as you might guessed I don’t have those businesses anymore. I stopped doing this simple things for some reason. I stopped dreaming and most importantly I stopped trusting myself. Insted of dreaming big or just dreaming i become too humble, too small, too average, I do have this inner voice that would tell me things like “ you truly think you can do this? Let’s be real…” and I hate it. I kinda lost myself and I would like to change it
also taking concepts from Malcom Gladwell and no giving credit to him, Andrew takes Carol Dweck's work and cite it, nothing wrong in rewording somebody else
Leon, I just found your channel and I really am impressed with this video. I want to say, specifically, your 6th remark, visualization, means so much to me. I didn't see it coming, but when you brought it up, I immediately identified with it. Great work, sincerely.
Bruh this was really something. I'm at the lowest point of my life, lost and stuck. But I felt a gpimpse of hope and some actionables to get out of my downward spiral. Thanks man.
Great insights! Building that healthy relationship with results and staying on the upward spiral is key. Visualizing and celebrating future wins can be a game-changer. Keep up the great content! 👍
I agree with you!! Money actually grow on trees but only on trees that was planted by you!! These tress are referred to as investments. How you diversify your investment portfolio matters
Diversification is the key. My portfolio is well diversified with the help of a financial adviser. This helps me make more than +400% monthly on my investments.
I'm intrigued by this. I've searched for financial advisers online but it's kind of hard to get in touch with one. Okay if I ask you for a recommendation?
I've experimented with a few over the past years, but I've stuck with ‘’Angela Lynn Schilling” for about five years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive. She’s quite known in her field, look her up.
For the age bracket study, I started playing soccer at a fairly late age. When it came to playing for a travel team, being born in October meant I had to play in an age group above my own. I was born in 94 and had to try out for the 93 team. There was far harder competition in that age group at my age at the time. I was 12 playing with kids about to enter their freshman high school soccer seasons. I was always far bigger and stronger than most kids my age, so sports that I started at a younger age were no issue. My brother played up an age group and we dominated both basketball and baseball together.
Well I never made any team in high school in any selective sport because I too had to play with the kids in the grade above me, always older. And I had it had that happen to me before because school sports weren’t competitive before that.
Dein Content ist einfach baba und fühlt sich nie an wie der ganze andere Self Improvement stuff, den jeder Creator sich bei einem anderen abgeschaut hat. Mega
the best yt, I discovered you when I was 15 , 3yrs ago and I've been searching for your channel ever since glad I found Leon again shout out. God bless you
Hey Leon! This was a great video. It moved me, literally. Keep it up, I'm super proud of you. I haven't watched much of your videos in awhile as I went on my own journey with life. Ended up randomly clicking on this one for some reason, only to find out that when last I checked everything was going up for you, it seemed that everything was going down more recently. That said, your self-awareness and grit is what made this video truly inspirational yet entertaining for me. Love your work always! -Prag
I don't have clinical depression but when I was down and didn't feel like doing anything, I used the small wins method to do 1 pushups and everyday I increased this by 1 and by seeing that slow growth gained a lot of my confidence back.
Hey Leon, would you be willing to do a video expanding on point 4? Rebuilding trust in your own words. I feel that has been a crucial failing point in my life for years.
After seeing this video i realize ive been doing it all wrong. I don't give myself enough credit for what i do achieve because for me it's "not good enough" and i want more. This video made me realize that that's hurting me way more than it's helping. Thank you
I'm so happy I made productive decisions about my finances that changed my life forever,hoping to retire next year.. Investment should always be on any creative man's heart for success in life
The first step in every successful investment is to establish your goals and risk tolerance, a task best undertaken with the assistance of a financial advisor with extensive financial market knowledge like Fergus Waylen
Wow. I'm a bit perplexed seeing him been mentioned here also Didn't know he has been good to so many people too this is wonderful, i'm in my fifth trade with him and it has been super
I really want to get my life together. Really me and my family has been into series of hardship, we've faced a lot of trials and tribulations and my income is not just enough
I always really look forward to your videos, Leon. Nice work as always. Edit: Have now watched this video a few times, it gets deeper each time. 1. The part about effort-based praise is powerful, my kids flourish more on that than with results-based praise for sure. I just never noticed the difference, well pointed out! 2. You mentioned at the end about how you forget to visualise, there are so many positive tools I use then forget about too. Thanks for reminding me to refocus on those. ❤
first video I watch from you and loved it. Now back to the winners effect, I'm a huge tennis fan and I always thought this is what happens with Novak Djokovic. He's been dominating the sport, specially after his 2 biggest rivals stopped playing. Now my take is he's so much more accostumed to winning compared to his opponents, and even they know that, so he just keeps on winning.
Personally I think it's not good to focus too hard on winning or losing, don't focus on things you can't control, just be positive and focus on the good that's happening, and be the positive in other people's lives. And yes go get things done that are maybe a bit hard for you because that will definitely boost your confidence a bit
I really like this way of thinking about gratitude. It’s the same idea wins and gratitude, appreciating what you’ve got, what you achieve ,what you want to achieve. I think it all comes from the same place. Just a different facet or vantage point.
Leon, just, thank you. Thank you thank you thank youuuu! Enough is enough of the pain and loss.. 18 months of agony but yesterday I got my first WIN. Let’s keep going! God bless you man, hope to meet someday 😊
I was advised to diversify my portfolio among several assets such as stocks and bonds since this can protect my portfolio for retirement. I'm seeking to invest $200K across markets but don't know where to start.
I thought about investing in the real estate market, I heard that people make millions , but I lack good knowledge and a strategy to outperform the market and generate good yields. I have $460,000 but it's hard to bite the bullet and do it. Money is hard to come by
This seems like the worst period. Even the markets are very unpredictable. started investing recently when the market prices were a bit high ,today i am more than 60% down
Yeah, financial advisors could make a lot of difference, particularly in a market such as this. Stocks are pretty unstable at the moment, but if you do the right math, you should be just fine. Bloomberg and other finance media have been recording cases of folks gaining over 250k just in a matter of weeks/couple months, so I think there are a lot of wealth transfer in this downtime if you know where to look. I have been using an FA since 2019, and I return at least $121k ROI, and this does not include capital gain.

This makes so much sense as to why I’m not competitive in general. When I was young I didn’t get the results I wanted or expected from the efforts I put into competitions, which felt fucking terrible, so I stopped caring or trying because getting nothing at the end felt worse than still getting nothing from doing nothing. I couldn’t feel worse if I didn’t care in the first place. I did learn really early in life how to manage disappointment. So much that now I can bounce back from what would be a heartbreaking disappointment for someone in far less time and I learn from the experience. This also came from developing a healthier mindset to go with it.
Before watching the video, let me throw out several random ideas I have on this topic of success: -Achieve success in an area of your life that doesn't matter very much, like for example becoming very good at juggling or ping pong (assuming you are not a professional athlete lol). The feeling of being successful can propel you forward in other more important areas of life as you get used to the mentality of a winner. -If you can't or are at rock bottom, create a checklist everyday and put can't fail items like get out of bed, eat dinner, etc on them and tick them as you complete them. At the end of the day when you see that you're actually completing things (even if they are seemingly banal or inconsequential) you'll start to feel more accomplished and confident. -Recall a time in your life when you accomplished or were successful at something (even if it was something inconsequential like being king of the playground or Pokemon card battles or something), and use that feeling as an anchor when facing difficulties.
Recently I've learnt the visualization skill to become a Manager at a very early stage in my life. Apparently, that skill is one of the most essential skills to achieve what I want. Thank you for recalling the importance of that tool.
Excellent video as always but here is my problem I have been making losses trying to make profit trading. I thought trading demo account is just like trading the real market... can anyone help me out or at least advise me on what to do
Trading demo account , you won't have fear,knowing that even if it goes bad ,it won't affect you. When you start with real money,you'll try to watch the +/- too closely and start being too emotional. You will forget why you entered,what is your risk-reward and try to manage it and keep making poor decisions due to emotions. Thing is,you need to make your mindset tough,no emotions,strong rules and discipline.don't react emotionally and start with very little money which you are totally ok even if you blow it up.
You have to trade the real market with the exact same mindset as your demo trading. With demo, your okay with losing it all, as long as you learn and your decisions are within reason. Thats exactly how you should trade: dont trade money your not willing to FULLY lose, and learn from every single trade; whether you better your strategy or your mindset. What i really like i set and forget methods. Just set your SL/TP and leave it. What ever happens will.
I never comment on videos, but I would like to support you at least with this. You're doing a really good job, inspire a lot of different people, that's crazy. I really wanna be a person like you, who helps people so I'm starting now. Lots of thanks to you! Keep up the good work!
LISTEN MAN. I've been on self improvement since 13 rn im 16 iv'e heard so many youtubers talk about many subjects. this is the first video ive ever seen of you. this is by far, the best advice ive heard in a while. GOD BLESS YOU!

❤❤ I feel losing always because I put so much expectation on myself while studying while eating while drawing it screwed my life to the point where even watching a movie or having fun has become a nightmare.

This is the guy that got me into selfimprovement when I was 15. It's been 3 years since then and I'm convinced, he's the most underrated youtuber out there. If you're reading this Leon: I don't think you understand how inspiring you actually are. You're absolutely amazing, never stop posting videos or I'll probably cry myself to sleep.
Appreciate that ❤️🥲 Definitely won't stop any time soon!

I’m 21 years old, and in the last 3 years I’ve been winning at life, I’ve worked 4 jobs at the same time, started 2 businesses, moved my parents out their old house, got in the best shape of my life, but from the beginning of this year, I’ve fallen in a downward spiral, this video, at this moment gave me so much motivation to get back to work it’s incredible. I leave this here, because I’m going to be back in 6 months, on November 12 2024 and give an update about how I progressed, and trust me, I’ll be back as a winner.
You can do it!!!!👏🏼🎉 You are a winner!🥇

Dude, I have been unproductive my whole day but after watching this, I have done 3 days worth of work (in my usual pace) in the last 4hrs. Your videos are so inspiring!
The first point of "winning is subjective" reminded me of a monk's story who was building a wall, as part of the monastery construction, and upon finishing it he noticed 2 crooked bricks. He got so annoyed with himself for making such mistake. He couldn't fix it anymore as the wall dried up and there's been lots of work done at this point. He left it and every time he looked at the wall he could only see those 2 crooked bricks...until another monk came and said "you built a beautiful wall". He responded "but look at those 2 crooked bricks" to which the other monk responded " what about those other 998 bricks that you placed perfectly well? ".
Don't hold to your 2 crooked bricks.
I read this as monkeys building walls... and was a little confused but the imagery was better
Now imagine the same story, but with 998 crooked bricks and 2 perfectly laid bricks

You don't know how much I needed to hear this today. I was talking to my brother about this. Long story short. I got my MBA this year but lost my job. So instead of feeling like I accomplished anything I felt like more of a failure. Our relationship with outcomes and the process is everything.
Why does the idea of thoughts becoming reality keep coming up-Earl Nightingale's strangest secret, James Allen, the host of manifestation gurus spawned in the late 20th century following Goddard and the like, all based off of ancient wisdom saying: thoughts become reality?
At first it seems fanciful but the more you think about it and observe the more evidence you see. The placebo and nocebo effects are very real and powerful. Huberman spoke of a Stanford study where one group shown a video on the negative effects of stress showed such negative effects, whereas a group shown a video on positive effects of stress exhibited such positive effects.
This shit is real

I think what makes your videos slightly less popular given their quality is one of the main reason I (and presumably others) love them: they aren't riddled with dopamine rigging visual and audio effects that most people seem to have gotten accustomed to (but that I loathe). Hopefully you keep doing it this way. Keep up the good work!
This is most likely the reason. Many people now are designed to fail because they were programmed to become dopamine fiends. And everyone knows True success takes hard work, patience, and persistence
yep but it's still really good videos!
All those videos are based on the psychology of our brains, which makes us wired and makes it seem like the video is really good.
Most of those videos lack substance, this channel is amazing though.
Your uncle is right, using his videos I managed to go from being a decade + blue collar worker (cleaner to be precise) to an AI engineer with multiple degrees (top universities) in just under 7 years and now an engineer. I was an adult/mature student and was in the same class as 17 year olds who bragged about attending schools for the gifted. Guess what, all the praising their parents did for them set them back terribly. I graduated first and was the only one who was able to land multiple professional job offers. I always hype myself even for the smallest things. Showing up in class on time, "great job", turning off the lights after a long day, "you did great". Day to day, I do not compare myself because we all have different starting points and circumstances. There is only one of me. Most importantly, I learned how to set goals on different levels, track and measure my efforts and define the right metrics. You can't really compare how well one video did over another despite same effort because there are many parameters unknown to you that are beyond your functional control or tweaking. We do not live in a deterministic world. When it comes to winning you literally have to decide you are a winner, and let that be your identity despite what "results" you see. Effort by itself is one of the biggest most underrated things, most people never even start, remaining in the game by itself is a winning metric. Measure the right things, but most importantly define your bigger goals before you start tweaking your days because that will be your NorthStar. You also have to trick your brain into continuing to see yourself as a winner, sponsor the right thoughts and not disempowering thoughts like "I put the same effort in both videos and one did poorly", that is not empowering. You also can't overly rely on external feedback and validation from your viewers, at the end of the day, what you say and think of yourself despite external evidence is what matters to you. All the best and remember you're already a winner by virtue of being born on this beautiful planet and having life in you.
I took a few years off uni after messing up horribly and doubting myself. I'm one of those kids whose parents and teachers always said I'm so smart and never had to try before college. Now I'm kicking myself for all the lost time and how everyone else is "ahead" of me. Man, I'm really glad I read your comment. I'm gonna try to follow in your footsteps, giving my life a good 180!
Absolute hats off to what you've accomplished
Great story brother!
What kind of projects are you working on currently?
@@Gingnose I'm a woman 😊 I am working in buidling AI tools
@@Eyezick-l5z You can do it! I joined uni in my late 30s but didn't mention my age to my 17 year old classmates and I still topped the class, I didn't even mention my age to myself either, coz our brains are always listening to us 🤣🤣🤣🤣. I also had joined uni when I was 20 years old and my then lecturer told me I should drop out and wouldn't make it in engineering. I listened to him but actually, what I didn't know was how to study effectively, how to be self-organized, focused and how to manage my focus and attention. More than a decade later when I started watching Andrew Huberman and Cal Newport who wrote the book on Deep Work, I also listened to writers like Steven Kotler who wrote Flow, and everyone knows the popular Atomic Habits by James Clear. I never actually read their books not even a single page, but I watched all their book tour promotional videos/lectures/podcasts and learned a common thread of being productive, achieving your goals etc. I of course modified my lifestyle e.g., didn't watch any TV for 2 years at least, left active social media, put my phone on silent not even vibration for years (to this day), I don't play video games either, I have healthy habits like walking everyday for an hour. When I was a student I did 30 mins of an intense morning workout before class, slept on time and ate a plant-based nutrition. I completely re-wired my brain to excel. So, if I did it in my late 30s, and built a whole new career, you can do it too!
@@Eyezick-l5z Similar story here. I'm currently continuing the same carrer I left years ago, I started this month. With a whole new perspective and a lot of therapy behind, slowly but surely, aspiring to finish it this time. I see more clearly now, but I still hold on to a lot of insecurities and it's validating seeing someone with a similar experience. I wish you all the best in ur journey.
Leon losing subscribers/ viewers proves that his style of teaching works - True winners wouldn’t constantly need to view videos like this on youtube, right? .. At around the age of 16, Leon was also one of the first channels that sparked my interest into this whole kind of topic. For that I wanna say THANK YOU.
I've been working on being disciplined for the past two weeks and was wondering why after some time I lack motivation. This video has made me see what I was doing wrong. Thanks so much for this.❤❤
Antozent- they are selling around 250 self help ebooks for the price of one (including this one)
Man, you are on to something. Especially your last point. When i was visualising, success was eminent. When i stopped doing it, motivation and energy went down slowly and it's hard to get back out from it. I stopped rewarding myself for little wins. In fact, i took things for granted making things worse. This was the video i needed to see. Thanks Leon!
The fact that nobody talks about the book whispers of manifestation on borlest speaks volumes about how people are stuck in a trance

Yes,it's a bot.

You add a ton of value to the world by making people’s lives better. It is more than a lot of people do with their lives. Keep fighting on ✊. Keep moving
What's great about your videos is that they're rewatchable, I've revisited "how to stop wasting your life" more than 15 times over the course of years and I think this one hits the same spot. Make more rewatchable videos, I love them!

A few big breakthrough moments in the career I’m pursuing slipped away from me last year and it had me feeling at the start of this year like I was in the same position as last year Jan. Then I started thinking and that made no sense! I’ve done a lot of things in 2023 I could only have dreamed of doing in 2022. Yes, they might’ve not let to anything substantial yet but I did do it! I proved myself! I showed my potential. I can do it again & learn from my mistakes and do it better. I’m very proud now of myself for the growth I’ve gone through last year and feel like I’ve developed an a lot more healthier relationship with myself, exactly like this video is describing! Much love to everyone reading this. I hope you do great things this year!
A little resume for me to re-look the important points:
1- Acknowledge and count your wins(that makes you boost your motivation to get more wins)
2-Reward efforts, not outcomes(fall in love with the process, not only the outcomes, not its good to feel demotivated for a loss)
3- Easy wins first, then stack(If you win once in a little thing this are going to help you to win the next one)
4-Build self-trust in your word(never say things that you aint going to do)
5- Manage expectations(Not having unreal expectations, being realistic)
6- Visualization( Our mind dont notice the difference between reality and imagination).
Thanks for the video
Your summary captures the essence of the video's message perfectly. Emphasizing the importance of recognizing small wins, rewarding efforts, and building self-trust are key strategies for sustained motivation and success. Managing expectations and using visualization techniques can further enhance our ability to achieve our goals. This concise recap is a great tool for anyone looking to reinforce these powerful concepts in their daily lives.
Leon, I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for making this video. I had the winner mindset but after years of ridicule towards my work and life I lost my confidence. This video made me remember what it is and what it feels like to be a "winner" in life. I hope your channel grows and thrives in accordance to your desires!
I think the reason why your videos are not making as many views like other channels or go viral because you are sharing real lesson for people who are suffering to improve their lives, and they are fewer in number, only people whom trying hard till reaching their breaking point will get it. We are rare
100%. It's rare to see people around me who are driven and passionate about growth and entrepreneurship
yea no, theres millions of people like this.. on youtube. its a nice thought tho.
9:45 I was just saying this to someone a few days back. We're subconsciously programming ourselves to believe we're not worth being taken seriously. Great vid bro
I've been watching your channel for quite a while and I have to say that this is probably one of the most informative videos you've posted. Just know we all appreciate you.
the "reward efforts not results" part is life changing thanks
Been feeling like a loser lately because I was fired from my job right before christmas. Been having no luck in job search either. This winner mindset video is really helping me to look back on this first month of unemployment and try to reflect on what my wins are, however small they may be. Good journaling exercise for today, thank you!

I'm watching this video a couple of hours before 2024 starts in my country, I should be getting dressed for a NYE party but instead I saw your video, I chose to watch and now I'm taking notes and planning my life and goals. I was feeling miserable this year, I feel like I haven't accomplished much anything, I'm feeling as far away from my ultimate goals as possible. But I've decided that your video will change my life. I'm gonna come back in the 2024's NYE and hope to have accomplished what I just planned watching your video, kudos to you my brother! If I hop to Australia one day, I hope we can meet and chat over some coffee or beers.
Made some progress then lost track for a month or two, but I'm gonna keep on going !! Celebrating my efforts and learning from my failures
What your content stands out to me than the other self improvement youtubers is that you talk about a "philosophical" aspect of self improvement and very few creators i've came across so far doing that and not just the basic stuff like go to gym or take care of yourself etc like this video where you discuss new interesting ideas which is so refreshing to see! Keep up the good work! :)
Thank you for this. I think it’s important to realize that self image is vital in succeeding in life. Love yourself, and be yourself and you will succeed.
Great video as always Leon!
You look depressed, or tired, my good sir. I might be seeing it through my own lens, as I'm battling a bout of depression and your video reminded me of some key things which have led to me find myself where I am so so thanks for that. If you are depressed, hang in there and get the help you need. And remember we're here, supporting you and your efforts - you've achieved a ton and you just need to keep going. This too shall pass.
If you're tired, then I hope you get some good rest over the festive period. The rest of us will be here when you you're ready to put out more content.
Keep well Leon and happy holidays!
You are one of the sweetest people ever! God bless you❤
Updates bro on how you are doing?
You've confirmed for me that failing to meet one's goals can erode trust in oneself. This was one of the rules I have used in sports specially running. As a runner, I always declare how far I'll run-be it 10km or 5km-and I commit to completing it, no matter how tough it gets. I've only fallen short twice due to muscle stiffness, despite pushing myself to my limits.
While some days are harder, especially when muscles are sore from previous runs, I've managed to push through by understanding the importance of consistency. Missing a goal makes it easier to skip future ones, undermining my self-trust, which is crucial for running and maintaining willpower.
I wish I could apply this mindset universally, but at least it's effective in sports. Distrusting yourself can destroy willpower, and for running, I need a strong will.
Thanks for the valuable content; it's applicable in real life.
I've always said or made a quote where I heard from but doesn't get that much attention is "Winners stay winners while losers stay losers" for some reason even though I didn't research anything about it, it just got my attention and just felt relatable in my life. I knew a few reasons why but no one else felt the same way about it.
Duuuuude, your videos are so good lately, you are the only reason I come back to TH-cam every week or to, just to see if you have dropped a banger video. You don’t understand how valuable your resent videos have been.
Also I would like to suggest to everyone just trying to be more stoic, in accepting life and even loving it. Having no expectations as Marcus Aurelius.
Mate I’ve been watching motivational videos but this one was just straight to the point and explained so well, your right self doubt, mentality, vision all these things have to get shifted in order for your life to change.
Been a consumer of TH-cam for 15 years +, when you said in your video that last year wasn't great, still sub 1M+ subscriber. I could not believe it lol. I watch thousands of videos a year and remember some of yours as astonishing and genuine. You are on the verge of stepping up big. Have been seeing those kinds of rises for years. It's coming..
This is so true. I am a professional bodybuilder competitor. I have won my very first competition and got that early success and eas addicted to winning ever since.
Altough I ended up competing 14 times - losing 10 times and only winning 4 shows in total.
3 out of first 5 were the wins. So early on I was winning more than losing.
Then I just didn’t win… it was top 3, but not a win. The next 8 times I lost, and felt like forever and I felt so frustrated but I could look back and think “nah…you got this. You just need to change something and try again”
I stuck by it all because in my mind I knew I have won before. Show nr 14 I earned my Pro Card and became a Professional.
I now visualise myself winning the biggest championship in the world and what would the winning speech be. I feel that so much that I get goosebumps when I think about it.
I don’t normally leave comments on videos but this is awesome. 🙌
Woah brooo. It's like you put 3 hours worth of podcast in one wholesome and inspiring video. Thanks for kick-starting my day! Cheers to this win for us! 🎉
Leon, 2023 was the year that I realized that I have the potential to achieve my dreams. I decided that in 2024 I was going to pursue and achieve my ambitious goals, this video popped up in my feed when I was asking myself how I can plan my year to do just that. Whether it’s the law of attraction or my brain seeking confirmation for what I desire. I now know that I will achieve my goals. Thank you so very much for making this video, it’s made my day. 2024, taking names and kicking ass 😎
I hear you man on the youtube grind, that 10/10 always sucks. Keep up the good work, I'm rooting for you
Its crazy i just randomly found your video before the new year even started i been writing goals i never wrote down a specific goal until now. Once my car took a dump its been in the shop roughly over the holidays anyways to make a long story short i got my car back and me and my wife celebrated. its the small things we all should celebrate just as much as the big wins i literally just learn that today you earned yourself a new subscriber idk if was the universe the algorithm or whatever you want to call it im glad it steered me to this channel beyond grateful anyway keep up the good work man
Beautiful and well put! Taoism has been a game changer for me to be at peace with whatever happens; coming back to trusting the process.
my first impression of this video is that it is one of the best and most motivating lessons i have ever seen anywhere. i intend to watch it daily and see if i can put it into practice and see if it is as powerful as it seems to be. my habit has always been to immediately put aside every victory as soon as it happens and give it little to no thought again while ruminating on anything i consider to be a defeat. seems obvious i know so with this daily reminder i will see if it takes me anywhere.
I do the same and it can feel so silly. Thanks for sharing this, my friend!
I'm preparing for a major competitive exam in feb 2025 and the point of "Do you trust your word" hit hard. Small incremental wins, Rewarding efforts each day. Yeah I needed that.
good luck in your exam 😊
I was 5min in and already so thankful for the vid… I needed exactly this, because I was turning from an upwards to a downwards spiral in just the last few weeks. This helped me to change my perception so much. Love your content and am here since the beginning of 2022 and love to see you grow even if it’s just little goals that you’re hitting! (Btw I think those r huge, but that’s just my opinion)
We create suffering by not being able to feel and express emotion (emotional repression).
If someone else expresses emotion,
that’s a trigger for the one who is unable to feel and express...
It’s safer to point to the unconsciousness of someone else
than it is to open to the emotion buried within us
that we don’t want to feel and express.
We create suffering by not being able to feel and express emotion.
A hell of a lot of suffering goes away
when we get to the root of this cycle
and a hell of a lot of suffering continues
when we focus on the reactions of others,
instead of how we produce or contribute to suffering
by not being able to feel and express our emotions authentically...
Thank you, Leon. This video inspired me during a hard season in life. You are doing things of meaning, and your work is making a difference.

Praising effort, not skill/ability, is what leads to increased learning and growth.

I've been watching TH-cam for hours today, and this is the single greatest idea I have come across in a while.
This video is seriously Gold, one of my favourite videos of yours actually. My biggest takeaway is “reward efforts, not outcomes” your delivery just make this concept click not to mention I died laughing with your misspelled quote (and name😂). I’ve been on a downward spiral lately but this video interrupted that so just want to say thank you Leon for making videos like this that has more impact than you’ll know. Looking forward to more! Cheers
"This video is full of wisdom and practical advice. I love how you explain things in such a relatable way. Thank you for constantly reminding us that we have the power to shape our own lives!"
In my experience the best way to get the 'winner effect' in your life is to transform your body...I was skinny all my life and then decided to hit the gym and transform my body. Within 8 months I made good progress and ever since then I've been so much more confident to do anything and take on any challenge...my current physique serves as a constant reminder that I can do anything I put my mind to do and it gives me that 'winner effect'
Too apt 👌🏼
This morning I woke up crying from depression and I have really bad ideas in my head even tho I’m doing that bad in life, I’m just overwhelmed, I believe I need to adjust my expectations, thanks for the video brother ❤ I’ll watch it again , I used to visualize, I stopped this habit for a reason, this was a good reminder
You know, I really think all of your help and tips are good advice. When it comes to self improvement youtubers sadly I can't help the feeling that they actually don't want us to succeed since they live from our views and cutting down information and making a separate 10+ min video instead of a full ultimate guide. I really think I have to stop being pessimistic about everything and drop the act of sad perfectionist and just do things and learn along the way. Rewarding effort is a good point because you can't always make the best outcome come true but you shouldn't punish yourself for trying mentally. Thank you for this video.
Wow. Didn’t know what to expect from this video and I’m happy I watched it till the end. I was running 3 different businesses and I had a winner mentality and I was so happy, proud of myself and people around, I felt like I belong to the world, I visualised a lot, thought positive, controlled my own thoughts and what people to keep around and at one point I just stopped doing all that, and what a surprise as you might guessed I don’t have those businesses anymore. I stopped doing this simple things for some reason. I stopped dreaming and most importantly I stopped trusting myself. Insted of dreaming big or just dreaming i become too humble, too small, too average, I do have this inner voice that would tell me things like “ you truly think you can do this? Let’s be real…” and I hate it. I kinda lost myself and I would like to change it
My take from the video: This guy is simply visualizing Andrew Huberman as his uncle.
Visualize it and it’ll happen
😂
also taking concepts from Malcom Gladwell and no giving credit to him, Andrew takes Carol Dweck's work and cite it, nothing wrong in rewording somebody else
@@leonjhendrix 😁
The reassurance this video gave was next level. Nice way to start the year.
Leon, I just found your channel and I really am impressed with this video.
I want to say, specifically, your 6th remark, visualization, means so much to me. I didn't see it coming, but when you brought it up, I immediately identified with it.
Great work, sincerely.
Bruh this was really something. I'm at the lowest point of my life, lost and stuck. But I felt a gpimpse of hope and some actionables to get out of my downward spiral. Thanks man.
Great insights! Building that healthy relationship with results and staying on the upward spiral is key.
Visualizing and celebrating future wins can be a game-changer. Keep up the great content! 👍
Your uncle seems cool. I think he has a bright future ahead of him.
The BIGGEST LIE You've Been Told About Money is that it doesn't grow on TREES!! 😆
I agree with you!! Money actually grow on trees but only on trees that was planted by you!! These tress are referred to as investments. How you diversify your investment portfolio matters
Diversification is the key. My portfolio is well diversified with the help of a financial adviser. This helps me make more than +400% monthly on my investments.
I'm intrigued by this. I've searched for financial advisers online but it's kind of hard to get in touch with one. Okay if I ask you for a recommendation?
I've experimented with a few over the past years, but I've stuck with ‘’Angela Lynn Schilling” for about five years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive. She’s quite known in her field, look her up.
Wow, her track record looks really good from what I found online. I'll take a chance and see how it goes. Thanks for the info
Feeling the impact of the loses and then moving on, is much more important than being disconnected from what we feel like we all are nowadays
For the age bracket study, I started playing soccer at a fairly late age. When it came to playing for a travel team, being born in October meant I had to play in an age group above my own. I was born in 94 and had to try out for the 93 team. There was far harder competition in that age group at my age at the time. I was 12 playing with kids about to enter their freshman high school soccer seasons. I was always far bigger and stronger than most kids my age, so sports that I started at a younger age were no issue. My brother played up an age group and we dominated both basketball and baseball together.
Well I never made any team in high school in any selective sport because I too had to play with the kids in the grade above me, always older. And I had it had that happen to me before because school sports weren’t competitive before that.
Your dry humor is so smooth. Not only learned, but also got good laughs out of this one haha.
Dein Content ist einfach baba und fühlt sich nie an wie der ganze andere Self Improvement stuff, den jeder Creator sich bei einem anderen abgeschaut hat. Mega
the best yt, I discovered you when I was 15 , 3yrs ago and I've been searching for your channel ever since glad I found Leon again shout out. God bless you
Hi Leon
Ich liebe deine Videos und sehe sie als Inspiration.
Sie helfen mir meine Ziele zu erreichen.
Danke dir
Hey Leon!
This was a great video. It moved me, literally.
Keep it up, I'm super proud of you.
I haven't watched much of your videos in awhile as I went on my own journey with life.
Ended up randomly clicking on this one for some reason, only to find out that when last I checked everything was going up for you, it seemed that everything was going down more recently.
That said, your self-awareness and grit is what made this video truly inspirational yet entertaining for me. Love your work always!
-Prag
It "literally" moved you? Like from one room to another?
I don't have clinical depression but when I was down and didn't feel like doing anything, I used the small wins method to do 1 pushups and everyday I increased this by 1 and by seeing that slow growth gained a lot of my confidence back.
Hey Leon, would you be willing to do a video expanding on point 4? Rebuilding trust in your own words. I feel that has been a crucial failing point in my life for years.
After seeing this video i realize ive been doing it all wrong. I don't give myself enough credit for what i do achieve because for me it's "not good enough" and i want more. This video made me realize that that's hurting me way more than it's helping. Thank you
I'm so happy I made productive decisions about my finances that changed my life forever,hoping to retire next year.. Investment should always be on any creative man's heart for success in life
That's awesome!!! I know nothing about investment and I'm keen on getting started. What are the strategies?
The first step in every successful investment is to establish your goals and risk tolerance, a task best undertaken with the assistance of a financial advisor with extensive financial market knowledge like Fergus Waylen
Wow. I'm a bit perplexed seeing him been mentioned here also Didn't know he has been good to so many people too this is wonderful, i'm in my fifth trade with him and it has been super
YES!!! That's exactly his name (Fergus Waylen) so many people have recommended highly about him and am just starting with him from Brisbane Australia
I really want to get my life together. Really me and my family has been into series of hardship, we've faced a lot of trials and tribulations and my income is not just enough
I always really look forward to your videos, Leon. Nice work as always.
Edit: Have now watched this video a few times, it gets deeper each time.
1. The part about effort-based praise is powerful, my kids flourish more on that than with results-based praise for sure. I just never noticed the difference, well pointed out!
2. You mentioned at the end about how you forget to visualise, there are so many positive tools I use then forget about too. Thanks for reminding me to refocus on those.
❤
first video I watch from you and loved it. Now back to the winners effect, I'm a huge tennis fan and I always thought this is what happens with Novak Djokovic. He's been dominating the sport, specially after his 2 biggest rivals stopped playing. Now my take is he's so much more accostumed to winning compared to his opponents, and even they know that, so he just keeps on winning.
i’m 6 minutes in & this is one of the best self improvement videos i’ve seen & i love the clips from prominent people. 10/10
Personally I think it's not good to focus too hard on winning or losing, don't focus on things you can't control, just be positive and focus on the good that's happening, and be the positive in other people's lives. And yes go get things done that are maybe a bit hard for you because that will definitely boost your confidence a bit
So basically focussing on the present
I really like this way of thinking about gratitude. It’s the same idea wins and gratitude, appreciating what you’ve got, what you achieve ,what you want to achieve. I think it all comes from the same place. Just a different facet or vantage point.
Happy holidays Leon! Keep up the good work and hope everything works out for you ❤️
Leon, just, thank you. Thank you thank you thank youuuu! Enough is enough of the pain and loss.. 18 months of agony but yesterday I got my first WIN. Let’s keep going! God bless you man, hope to meet someday 😊
I was advised to diversify my portfolio among several assets such as stocks and bonds since this can protect my portfolio for retirement. I'm seeking to invest $200K across markets but don't know where to start.
I thought about investing in the real estate market, I heard that people make millions , but I lack good knowledge and a strategy to outperform the market and generate good yields. I have $460,000 but it's hard to bite the bullet and do it. Money is hard to come by
This seems like the worst period. Even the markets are very unpredictable. started investing recently when the market prices were a bit high ,today i am more than 60% down
Yeah, financial advisors could make a lot of difference, particularly in a market such as this. Stocks are pretty unstable at the moment, but if you do the right math, you should be just fine. Bloomberg and other finance media have been recording cases of folks gaining over 250k just in a matter of weeks/couple months, so I think there are a lot of wealth transfer in this downtime if you know where to look. I have been using an FA since 2019, and I return at least $121k ROI, and this does not include capital gain.
I think this is something I should do, but I've been stalling for a long time now. I don't really know which firm to work with; I feel they are all the same.
was guided tho.Julia Hope marble.,. walked me through the ropes majestically i'ts my ultimate pleasure.
I feel so blessed that universe gave me a chance to know abt this wonderful community ✨💖srsly my life has transformed so much ever since I've started listening to subs

This makes so much sense as to why I’m not competitive in general. When I was young I didn’t get the results I wanted or expected from the efforts I put into competitions, which felt fucking terrible, so I stopped caring or trying because getting nothing at the end felt worse than still getting nothing from doing nothing. I couldn’t feel worse if I didn’t care in the first place. I did learn really early in life how to manage disappointment. So much that now I can bounce back from what would be a heartbreaking disappointment for someone in far less time and I learn from the experience. This also came from developing a healthier mindset to go with it.
Before watching the video, let me throw out several random ideas I have on this topic of success:
-Achieve success in an area of your life that doesn't matter very much, like for example becoming very good at juggling or ping pong (assuming you are not a professional athlete lol). The feeling of being successful can propel you forward in other more important areas of life as you get used to the mentality of a winner.
-If you can't or are at rock bottom, create a checklist everyday and put can't fail items like get out of bed, eat dinner, etc on them and tick them as you complete them. At the end of the day when you see that you're actually completing things (even if they are seemingly banal or inconsequential) you'll start to feel more accomplished and confident.
-Recall a time in your life when you accomplished or were successful at something (even if it was something inconsequential like being king of the playground or Pokemon card battles or something), and use that feeling as an anchor when facing difficulties.
Great ideas!
Recently I've learnt the visualization skill to become a Manager at a very early stage in my life. Apparently, that skill is one of the most essential skills to achieve what I want. Thank you for recalling the importance of that tool.
Excellent video as always but here is my problem I have been making losses trying to make profit trading. I thought trading demo account is just like trading the real market... can anyone help me out or at least advise me on what to do
Trading demo account , you won't have fear,knowing that even if it goes bad ,it won't affect you.
When you start with real money,you'll try to watch the +/- too closely and start being too emotional. You will forget why you entered,what is your risk-reward and try to manage it and keep making poor decisions due to emotions.
Thing is,you need to make your mindset tough,no emotions,strong rules and discipline.don't react emotionally and start with very little money which you are totally ok even if you blow it up.
You have to trade the real market with the exact same mindset as your demo trading. With demo, your okay with losing it all, as long as you learn and your decisions are within reason. Thats exactly how you should trade: dont trade money your not willing to FULLY lose, and learn from every single trade; whether you better your strategy or your mindset. What i really like i set and forget methods. Just set your SL/TP and leave it. What ever happens will.
9:09 nice advice… the 5yo on the street owned me :( now he dominates me whenever I leave the house.
