This works for me for example when playing darts, I can win my pro friends with ease when I get into the right mode and not try and play just for the win. I see winning more as by product of the game and it's not the thing I get most out of. It's incredible and works with tons of other activities as well. Even with music and arts if you have the basics.

Recap by Tammy AI
This is exactly what I needed now. I'm not going anywhere in life and I'm not able to succeed in anything I do. I'm broke, I don't have a job, no education and no drivers license. I have no hobbies and no friends. I try every day to do something to succeed but, it's just not working, for some reason.
I know it's easier said than done, but... just do it. There's no try, there's only do. We do things and sometimes the end result is not what we wished for, but that just gives us more reason to keep doing it until we make it. The beginning of something is the hardest part imo. If you don't have a hobby then just pick one that seems like something you could do consistently. I started bouldering 3 months ago and now I've started having conversations with people at the bouldering gym and there's a chance I'll get to know them better. To have friends is to be interested in other people. You won't get real friends by just wanting them, you have to really be interested in what they do and say. Bouldering has also helped with getting strength and with my mental health.
well there is a difference between stop trying and missing chances. you can not control luck but you can move yourself to a position where luck accures more often, where its more likely that an opportunity happens. what i mean by this is, that if you talk to a lot of ppl its more likely that you find somebody that likes you. That should not be your main goal tho. dont talk to ppl with the intention to be liked. they will notice
You can never tell somebody what it feels like to get what you want, and you can never express the feeling to realize its not as fulfilling as you thought.
Only thing ill say to this is sometimes you can be capable of something but you get in your own way. And when we actually allow our mind to do what it knows how to do, we succeed. Its like playing guitar, you can know a song well enough, but when trying to play if you focus in on every note it is hard to play it well, but if you find that zone of letting your mind and hands do what they know how to do, it comes out as it should. Much of life is this way, our minds are far more capable than we assume if we get out of the way and let things flow.
THE MEANING OF LIFE IS JUST TO BE ALIVE. AND SO SIMPLE, AND YET EVERYBODY IT IS SO PLAIN AND SO OBVIOUS RUSHES AROUND IN A GREAT PANIC AS IF IT WERE NECESSARY TO ACHIEVE SOMETHING BEYOND THEMSELVES ALAN WATTS Your tango
as a guitar teacher, actually I would also recomend to stop trying and just enjoy the instrument. also, as a guitar player, I think you should listen to "Tendinitis" by Jason Richardson he may be impressive but I don´t think he played 12 hours a day just to impress people.
Where to put your effort is almost as important as putting enough effort in. This comes with experience, but to gain that you need effort that is wasted. So I’m the end effort is still really key.
I think the vernacular is called 'fake it till you make it'. Yeah it is really true. If you act confident, you ARE confident. People will see you as confident too which will strengthen you're confidence even more.
Human obsession with having control on all facets of our life, overstretching overselves unnecessarily , and over-analyzing things go against the Taoist concept of YinYang. We tend to focus too much on the Yang aspect while seemingly ignoring the Yin. If one keeps standing on their tip-toes, they'll never stand firm.
Hi I'm having a hard time recently with respect to academics this vedio seemed to make me understand Sone things.thank you.also I noticed the vedio doesn't have any views
I just started watching your videos and i wondered whether you know about alan watts. He is one of my favorite philosophers and really influenced the way i view the world
Meditate and live in the present. In the present, there is no fear, worry, anxiety, regret, shame, guilt, greed.... those live in the past and future. Figure out your goals, reflect a "little" on how to approach them, and look for and work on ways in the present to achieve them. And understand that you can never know all the right steps in advance anyway.
It's not the world we live in. My kids wouldn't get fed and my wife would leave me if I just stop trying. We'll have plenty of time to do nothing when we're dead.
As a former audio engineer, it sounds like his gain is too high and he’s too close to the mic in this one. There’s also a bit of an echo. If I had to guess, he relocated his setup and hasn’t quite dialed the room in yet.
You don’t climb to sleep, you fall into it. Every night I just lay down and pretend to be asleep, letting my mind wander wherever it may, and next thing I know, it’s several hours later. That’s all you need. No counting sheep or whatever, just pretend to be asleep until the brain gets the memo
nothing worse than not being able to fall asleep? Tell me you never had to deal with hardships in your life without telling me that you never had to deal with hardships in your life. Major depressive disorder? Physical health problems doctors don't know how to diagnose? Panic attack? Agoraphobia? Being bullied in school? I survived it all and it was all far worse than not being able to fall asleep. I am still among the lucky ones because so many people are having it a lot worse than me.
This is a little bit triggering for someone whos homeless at the moment and has to beg for money for food in the streets of germany... It does apply when you have your basic needs met tho.
I'm pretty sure "stairway to heaven" is not regarded as a challenging song😅😅😅. It's regarded as one so easy that literally everyone knows how to play it. That aside, I see what you're saying.
@@neonphoenix8951 lol, in my defense it's kindve a dated reference and in a world that has forgotten about guitars and real instruments, this is totally something someone might say these days.

Isn’t he that white guru guy from England in the 60’s? Or am I miss remembering
@robfut9954 he was from England but he spent I believe the last decade of two of his life in California

if it doesn't come bursting out of you
in spite of everything,
don't do it.
unless it comes unasked out of your

then wait patiently.
if it never does roar out of you,
do something else.
if you first have to read it to your wife
or your girlfriend or your boyfriend
or your parents or to anybody at all,
you're not ready.
don't be like so many writers,
don't be like so many thousands of
people who call themselves writers,
don't be dull and boring and
pretentious, don't be consumed with self-
love.
the libraries of the world have
yawned themselves to

Thanks.
I'll speak for most guitarists: "Stairway to heaven" is N-O-T the most challenging thing to play on guitar... Polyphia or Malmsteen maybe
My goal is to be the best or better. This helps really telling me those things that sometimes i dont gotta try. Keep sharing ill keep on learning
Glad Alan Watts ideas have found a place in the 21st century. It's timeless wisdom after all.
He never fails to deliver 🔥🔥
This was 12 min ago?
How you watched a 10 min vid in 3min?
His hypothesis is that all his videos are fire if they all are we can assume this one is aswell
Worthy of an Aperture video. ❤

Cheers bud, guess we need to stop trying so hard. Whatever that means 😅
Make it work. Pick a priority and find away, at all costs. You can do it, its in you, find it by getting fed up with your past results.
You need proper hygiene, nutrition, hydration, and a steady sleep plus exercise structure...then you’ll succeed at any job/edu.
I know it's easier said than done, but... just do it. There's no try, there's only do. We do things and sometimes the end result is not what we wished for, but that just gives us more reason to keep doing it until we make it.

Thank you!
What your looking for is “ the path of least resistance”
I did this so naturally...and beleive me it's absolutely true
Alan Watts was a Unitarian, I am thrilled I was raised in that (hesitate to say,) religion.
You can never tell somebody what it feels like to get what you want, and you can never express the feeling to realize its not as fulfilling as you thought.
inspired me to pick up my guitar again 🫶 love all his vids
(1) Knowing, (2) Doing, and (3) Being ..... Being is where it is at and the other two lead you to psychological disappointment & inflated pride.
Amazing video Aperture. This is exactly what I needed ❤️
This channel is, I don't know how to describe. Love your work ❤.
I'll ALWAYS stick to the Forward Philosophy !!! Try try again!!!
Me: maybe this can help me ease my anxiety.
Anxiety: I have 1001 solid counter-arguments to that philosophy.
