I don't like myself because I sit at home watching self-improvement videos on TH-cam everyday instead of getting out and improving myself. Your videos are great and exactly what I've been needing in my life.
@@evitanigaminU hey man, how are you doing 3 years later? I relate to your comment. However, sometimes the small changes we make daily are hard to notice day-to-day, but over the years, those small changes make a huge difference.
This is definitely your best video yet by far, calmed, collected, but real as hell. You talk about all the tension we feel constantly in our lives and that’s not what our natural state should be. You’re 100% right, we’re so worried about tomorrow, and what’s not going right today, but instead we should just be calm, and happy with ourselves. Healing the mind and the body. Thanks Elisha.
I wish I someone told me this when I was 15, at that time I felt like crap, nothing was going my way, people were constantly walking over me, i was obsessed with pleasing people, I wanted them to like me. I knew later that I had to be stronger, I had to say no, I had to stop putting up excuses, I had to stop putting other people's interests before mines. Basically, growing a fucking pair.
Man I appreciate what you are doing, shining the light on the truths that we know are there but cant break the chains of our habits. I have personally went through this where I hold onto the reins of life for a little while and then fall off again back to my old ways. Keep it up bro you are changing peoples lives.
Hey brother I watched your shit way before I had an awakening and now I watch and it resonates even more than it did back then glad we have you to help us through...
Honestly bro thank you for all your videos and the time and energy you give us. I didn't realise how much your videos actually changed my mind view a lot, at first i didn't like you for whatever reason but the more i watched your videos the more i realised what you're about and what you're trying to convey, thank you for sharing this invaluable perspective with us especially at a time like this, please carry on and i hope to meet you one day, lots of respect from London, England
I'm on the same vibe as you in this video rn. feels great man, like I've recently done psychedelics, but I haven't. Genuinely connecting with my spirituality for the first time in my life and it's the first time I'm comfortably calm... like I don't have to pretend to be anything I'm not. I credit you a large chunk of my growth, it's much appreciated.
Your ability of self-reflection is amazing. You're one of my top mentors in life. In order to achieve what we want we have to become the men that attract those things inherently. As you said, become the guy you'd wanna hang out with, become the guy you would want as a boyfriend if you were a woman, become the guy that attracts money by providing real value and not being a copy of all the other businesses/entrepreneurs out there.
hey , so glad to find you. youre sensible message resonates through very strong for me . always good to feel that presence from you in times of distraction.
Hey man have you been reading the 6 pillars of self esteem? I'm reading through it and these are the same exact things I'm thinking about. The biggest realisation I got from that book was how everything can become a form of escapism from consciousness even the act of self development instead of addressing the real issue of self love n trust. Great video though!
You may have talked about this already, though not recently, but can you do a video about boys/men living with their parents either for too long or not long enough. I saw this TH-cam video about men in their late 20s and early 30s who are living with their parents and are addicted to porn and masturbation. There may or may not be certain factors: laziness, bad parenting, child abuse/molestation, culture and religion. Are these men certified "losers"? You talked about helplessness in this video and I think that you lost your parents at an early age or your relationship with them was compromised (I don't remember). It's crazy to think how far away some of us are from getting married, having a girlfriend, or even experiencing self-love because we hate our current situation or we regret our past or we've wasted so much time. What is more important to being a man, leaving our parents' home or quitting porn and masturbation? Idk.
AJ RX Leaving Home. The Heroes Journey always starts by leaving home. Look up the Hero's Monolith Cycle. I realize not everyone can leave home at 18,19,20 etc. There are situations where it's better to stay at home and help parents maybe save some change. But when you leave home you have to take responsibility. No more home cooked meals. No more free internet or t.v. No more laundry being done. Time to pay the electric, gas bill and cook your own meals. The list goes on. And who knows how much our parents mindsets infect our own for better or worse. It's natural to move on from the parents and forge your own life.
29 here. I moved out from my US parent's home when I was 18 and can attest to the mental unshackling and beginning of the Hero's journey Elisha speaks of. I recently moved abroad and into my Mum's house (UK) at the age of 27 because of mental health issues (anxiety). It's taken 2 years to build the courage and look into moving out on my own again... I think this was mostly motivated by having a low SMV (sexual market value) - little wealth, minimal social circles, and living with my Mum - but mainly it was coming to terms with the fact that now I'm in a comfortable position to move out, mentally, I'm simply emasculating myself and denying the continuation of my Hero's Journey by not. Additionally, admitting to myself that I've been comfortable for too long has been a powerful catalyst. I can't stress enough that this precision of self-awareness/ recognition has been a byproduct of committing to no fap (and many other beneficial exercises)... so I would commit to both moving out and quitting porn/fapping simultaneously. Good luck man, I wish you the best!
Another solid video my friend! Couldn’t agree more! I wanted to get an advice from you on spirituality by the way. I watched one of your videos a while back and I couldn’t remember which one but you were talking about being raised as a Christian and you talked how great it was but it made you too soft and too nice around women. I can relate to that too because I fel into the same trap for many years being raised as a Christian and was afraid of women. Now I’m finally starting to find my groove with the girls but I’m starting to go back to the ways of Christianity because I’ve been seeing a Christian therapist and she’s helped me tremendously. I’m worried however I’ll fall back into being too “nice” to girls again instead of being the alpha male. I want to believe in the moral value of Christianity and I do believe in God but I don’t want to be totally jailed up and be forced to do things a certain way you know what I mean? So I was wondering if you got some words of wisdom or advice on how to handle this and find a balance between believing in God and a higher power but not being the “nice guy” Because I want to be confident spiritually but I don’t want to be jailed into doing things a certain way
Nathan Matoush Treat people with kindness. This doesn't mean supplicating to them. Be real. The nice guy is often nice because he thinks his overt niceness will get the girl
Thanks bro that makes sense I think I kind of knew that all along just need to hear it from someone else. I think this is more of a fear of me becoming my old self. Being on No Fap has made me question a lot more lately which I think Is great and awesome for self development because I actually can figure this stuff out instead of hiding in a fantasy of lust and porn.
Nathan Matoush Absolutely bro. I think naturally we all have alpha traits. We just learn from upbringing or environment that it's not good. So we switch out qualities with nicer, more safe ways of acting.
Elisha Long I agree man, it’s all about the environment and culture we live in. like from an early age I always knew I had alpha traits. I was just consumed by our unhealthy culture and too much anxiety and questioning everything and OCD and it blocked me from getting there. Because my parents didn’t really guide me and didn’t explain what will and motivation is.they loved me but they just didn’t understand. I’ve been lucky to have some mentors along the way in my journey and you’ve helped me out a lot in these last couple months I appreciate that bro
I'm gonna start this journey for real this time. And I'll have you by my side man. Write a book please!!! I'm probably gonna loose internet out there ahahahaha
Hey Elisha, Can you elaborate more on the "game of life"? I find it really interesting. You should make more videos on it ASAP. I always find it amazing that as people we get stuck on the dumbest things. Simple little things, like social anxiety, work anxiety -- overthinking little things that pass. Fuck, man. Who cares about quitting your job without giving a two weeks notice. Or not responding to a text from the girl you talk to for a whole day. Or vlogging in public. Making a scene. Who fucking cares? Isn't it just a game? Why does it matter? There's no right or wrong way to do all of this, right?
I guess You're talking about two different types of internal freedom: 1) freedom from external world's influence and 2) freedom from Yourself, Your self-destructing mechanism. I guess it's essence was pretty nicely put by saint Paul in his 1st Epistle to Corinthians "ll things are lawful for me, but not all things are profitable. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be mastered by anything." (1Cor 6,12). It's like that: I'm aware I can do anything I want and I can intentionally screw up if I want to (I have ability to), but I'm choosing not to cause I know it's wrong for me. It's all about that freedom man. People fool themselves saying they can stop anytime, while actually they're slave not even knowing about it. And that slavery poisons the mind, for true though.
It is so hard for me to make friends for some reason I can't let anyone near me because I have the fear to lose people. I was really into the girl in my class before I dropped out but I never had the courage to ask her out out of fear of rejection. This pisses me so off I always wanted to get more social but didnt take the action.
David Barillas There is no purpose. You make it up. Start looking. What interests you or where can you place yourself to be of service, sell something, fix something, create something.
Are you an actor man? I am currently cooking a Batman fanfilm "Batman Death" style. Ill be Bruce Wayne cause here nobodys up to it but I am slim and rather be a director and writer|producer in the future. Youre my perfect Batman. I'll release it at my Araniel Official channel. Much luv man, I fell like I'm not alone in this when I listen to your videos.
