let me be that guy for a moment If perfect inaction is the perfect type of action, than imperfect action cannot be better by definition. If inaction is not considered an action, then there is nothing to compare it to, therefore inaction cannot be perfect, or at least it is unnecessary to state that.
@@zondberg Ok seriously, I've been seeing this a LOT lately so I have a legit question: Did I miss a world meeting where we decided than and then are interchangeable? Or is my if/then statement programming brain just being triggered?
@@sabin1618 frfr, but not like for small goals - they're quick and pretty easy to do although, let's admit it, they are very insignificant. Big goals require a lot of courage, time, dedication. The mere thought of that deflects us from going towards just because we see that from our supposed starting point they're impossible to do. I don't really know real people that just decided to do something big and consiously took the required steps, they rather vaguely approached their goal by doing a lot of random decisions that somewhat made them achieve something great. On paper, yeah it does sound pretty easy, but it doesn't take in the little factors of real life that work as a main opposing force of reaching our goals. For this reason I would like to say that this video bears some nice theoretical info, but not entirely practical.
@@Mansory811 then just be happy - or if youre not really happy, learn to be happy - because if youre happy without anything, you will be happy too with everything. A thing that most people forget - they wortk their assses of to achieve somthing, get rich, but afterwards theyre not happy in life. So first get happy without having or achiving anything, and as a happy person you will achive things way easier, without even trying. They fall in your lap. Also beeing a happy person makes everything relativ, you dont care to much about material stuff - most people chase for money and career, cause they miss something inside - and not for mental health and wellbeeing. Big mistake.
Right now, I am working two jobs, out of shape (close to obesity), have a huge debt on mortgage and an idea for business. I will watch this video everyday and follow its principles. I will update my status in 7 years, on Saturday, August 2nd 2031.
Most small businesses fail within the first year. I’m not saying this to discourage you, but given that you’re working two jobs and paying off a huge mortgage, the last thing I’d want to see happen would be for you to invest your precious money into a business idea and lose everything as a result. It can be game over really fast. Make sure you have a safety net and family to fall back on. I am cheering for you. Be careful.
I’ve noticed that when I take actions to improve my situation it ends up landing me in a better position. It may not be the exact best action but it’s a “guess” and doing something is better than nothing.
"In 'Atomic Habits,' it's explained that being in motion isn't the same as taking action. When you're in motion, you're thinking, planning, and learning-activities that are helpful but don't directly achieve results. Action, however, is what actually gets things done and brings about real outcomes."
Singing with the choir but yes, doing SOMETHING always gets the blood running in a different way than sitting and waiting. You either learn that it wasn’t so hard and that you can do this or that this was not the way and you should do something else.
for those of you who don’t believe in this framework, look at this channel as an example. at the time of writing this, he’s only at 7K subscribers. it honestly feels like he’s making content worthy of 100K+ and it’s only a matter of guessing, taking action, and adjusting until he gets there. he’s in the SAME boat as us.
PHENOMENAL INSIGHT, appreciate you adding this. This channel can be an example, so work along side me. We are all going to make it, just need to keep working. keep me posted on your progress my friend, excited to see what you accomplish-
@@johndoe-rq1pubad news, this aged horribly, in 3 weeks he's already up to 25k, what the framework does is allow you to build the skills so that when you are noticed, when you do start to expand you already have the skills of someone foe example with 100k subscribers
I did something like this about a year ago. I was in high school and said to myself "man I wanna be more confident" started narrowing that down, and then ended up joining my schools swim team, I've become fit and I feel way more confident in my daily life. Trust this works.
I feel like an important angle to consider are objections like "I'm too depressed" or "I'm too anxious to do this". That would mean that your first actions should include developing coping skills to overcome these mental barriers. Doing something, even the littlest thing, will get you what you want someday. Make your bed, meditate, drink some water, etc.
Absolutely! By doing something when you don’t feel like it, that builds a lot of the needed skills you need to be successful Discipline, mental toughness, etc Great point in making the first step appropriately small- Appreciate you my friend
Remember often times the people around you don't have goals either. Recruit them to help you with your goals. Recently I launched a Steam game. I did the programming (ive only been studying 4 months), my girlfriend is a former graphic design major, and I recruited 3 friends to help promote the game. We've currently got 350 people playing our game
Facts! No one can change your life but yourself. I got my dream job and people ask how I did it all the time. I used to try and help, but whenever I say that it's completely in their hands, I hear an excuse, so now I just say 'ok' and move on. Sadly that person isn't ready to get the life they want.
im 27 years old and pretty much did this exact thing in March. been 4 months, im the happiest and healthiest i have ever been in my life. you can do it too, trust.
I dropped out of university In november to start a business, had no idea what I was doing but I didnt give up and last month in June, i made my first 5 figures in profit, love your videos man :) you make it simple, Really!
let's gooooo!! congrats my friend, hopefully you celebrated the first of many milestones. Excited to see what you do the rest of the year and how far you can go. Keep me updated!
nice, i stopped going to the gym because i lost focus on working out and life got in the way, thanks to your video i realized i got the perfect framework to get back to where I was, i know how to workout so i just need to start going again and everything will click, time to improve my life. Thanks for believing in me and I belive in you that your youtube channel will blow up in the near future
In professions like art, programming, and design, it's easy to see mistakes people made. So when you are not sure how to start you: "Do it wrong and then correct yourself". And then you can take advantage of that instinct you have when you want to point out and correct others' mistakes but for your own advantage.
you put a smile on my face, my friend. glad you found some value here, much more coming- keep me posted on your progress, excited to see how your year goes
@@TheGraphicalHarmonicist was honestly "afraid" of doing so! but watch a video from @danmartell where he said something along the lines of "if you have something that helped you out of life and you don't share it with others who are also struggling, that is wrong" definitely got that quote not 100% right. I'm doing well for myself now - a lot of people doing even better. But if I can help someone fix their situation that's what matters not sure if that was the answer you were looking for, but hope it helped-
One day I woke up and looked at my life. Heck I'm 18 now and I haven't developed a skill that I always wanted to, people younger than me have learned to draw or are masters at guitar. I always wanted to make music, make art, and add a little bit of uniqueness in my not so interesting life. So lately I've started to map out what I need to achieve those and what I can do. I'm pretty good at math, so I've planned on tutoring to earn myself some money to afford what I need, like guitar equipment or a better drawing tablet. Tutoring would also be a great way for me to interact with other people more often, it makes my life more eventful. I hope whoever is reading this will also find their way to put their life into motion.
Love the vision you have and the effort you put into it. Now continue to take the action. Keep me posted, if you came back and shared a link to a channel with your music that would be AWESOME for everyone to see. Appreciate you , let’s make it a good year
I like how you're thinking! A personal tip from me is to make sure you don't get too sidetracked; even if the tutoring business is something you genuinely want to do, make sure you're practicing drawing before you have the money to get the equipment. You'd be surprised how much you can do with a pen and paper! (I do recommend pen to start, as it prevents you from perfectionism/constantly erasing "mistakes") Best of luck, and feel free to keep us posted!
we forget that because of our tiring schedule and because we have the internet to give us the immediate boost of happiness we need so : you should enjoy your hobby, learn by drawings ocs, things you imagine, things you find pretty, maybe an animation? but at least enjoy it. practice is key
@@thetominator1931 The paper advice really does make so much sense. I never considered that, but having zero means to undo failure has a rather unique feeling
Love the fact you made yourself a plan that actually makes sense and seems like it would work. As a person with very similar interests I support you completley. Dont forget your passion and i'm sure you'll make it.
You gotta be the realest stickman to grace my recommended list. Just binged like 4 of your vids and already feel the life I daydream about unfold in front of me. The points you make and detail you go into about things as trivial as walking up to girls deserves all the attention in the world... at least my world lol. Keep churning out the great content. You are changing peoples lives day by day, hour by hour and minute by minute!
you know how to put a smile on someone's face man thank you! this comment is awesome glad you are finding value here. plan on giving you so much value you can't fail, as long as you are walking the path with me. lets make it a good year, yeah?
I've found this video about a week ago, when I fist watched it everything you said made sense but it didn't stick with me, just like the tens of other videos like this that I've watched, today I remembered this video and gave it another watch, while taking notes this time, and something inside my brain just clicked, all of the goals that I've set for myself after getting out of school were very broad, so I ended up not achieving them and on most occasions just quietly giving up on them. I was initially going to share my notes here on this comment but I think that would defeat the purpose of them, nowadays we don't usually spend time actually thinking about what we do and the content that we watch, I only realized this because I spent some extra time writing notes about the video and then cleaning them up while not doing anything else. Throughout the last year or so I've been trying to achieve some goals, again goals that were not well defined, and I failed a lot, I've watched a lot of videos like this one and most of them shared the same basic ideas: "Be mindful of what you do and actually do something rather than nothing even if you fail you'll have learnt something", I think defining clear goals was the missing piece, so thank you for sharing your ideas and methods, I'll give them a shot, even if I fail I will have learned some things.
ok real ꜱhit im like 17 rn and i have had this dream of making this huge story based game for like 9 years?? like ever since i was a little kid and whatever and ive been writing and putting things together for it since i was 14 but i suck at coding and have gotten NOWHERE with it at all and it all seems like the largest longest and most impossible task ever and i feel like im running out of time to do everything before my life changes drastically (college, work, military(maybe), etc......scared of the coming changes asf too which sucks) and this video really put things into perspective for me and changed my mindset about my dream and a lot of other things in literally just 7 minutes and thats just actually fuᴄking insane. i really appreciate the messages you send on here, i really hope more people see your videos because you are actually one of the most inspiring people on this platform.
i can FEEL the passion you have for your goal, it's awesome to see. Would be interested in checking that game out! keep me posted on your progress as you continue to move forward and know I'm cheering for you. We both have some big goals and now need to put the work in- Appreciate you my friend! continue to problem solve one step at a time
I treat life exactly the same as a video game. When you try to throw a grenade through a tiny window and blow yourself up, immediately laugh about it, load your last save and try something else. Some parts of the game you might fly through, others might take 100 attempts - kinda like dark souls. Again, similarly to dark souls, the boss that 99% of people struggle with for a week might be the one you breeze through on your second attempt, while the "easy" one according to others might be the bane of your existence. The game of life offers different challenges to everyone, but we can all play it and enjoy the process if we choose to.,
I knew something was off!!! Turns out I've been playing this P2W mobile game this whole time!! 😅 Can you believe it?? Seems like Raid: Shadow Legends is making my life much harder and grindier than it needs to be! So... Much... Grindier... ... Anywho, I can't wait to try out that other game you mentioned! Dark Souls was it? Downloading it now. Thanks random internet stranger! You guys have NEVER steered me wrong. I'll let ya know how it goes! ☺️
Awesome perspective my friend and thanks for sharing! Appreciate you and thanks for watching! Glad you found some value here, and more coming tomorrow-
there is a friend I have who I only talk to about important things like this. he told me smth like "I think u won't get far in life", After some thinking, I realised how wrong I was living, as was said in the vid, I was just existing. with no real plans or solid goals. I now more deeply understand my issue and know exactly how to go about it.
This year has been crazy for me I increased my income to 70-75k, started a business, hitting my fitness goals just going by a simple motto of if I want it it’s mine but it’s just a matter of time.
Love to hear it man, congrats! Keep riding that momentum- You cannot fail if you keep trying and adjusting. Keep me posted, interested to see where you are at the end of the year
Idk why but the one line creed said in Rocky finally got me out of my life’s slump. All he said to rocky was”There is no tomorrow.” I’ve literally been saying that to myself every time I want to push something off, it made me realize that I was making myself more miserable by doing what seemed easier in the moment
Sounds dumb I know but just try it with all the small things you put off every day, for me it was things like laundry, making good meals, working out, etc.
it’s hard to find authenticity with so much BS from people speaking in a perspective that wasn’t theirs. i appreciate what you’re doing, your raising a lot of people with your content
"Think about what you want. Take the step..." I want a house. I Got a job. Job doesn't pay a living wage. Suffering, cant pay bills, debt. No house. Only pain. Method doesn't work.
Sorry to hear about the struggles my friend. Got a job > not making what you need > analyze what isn’t working / other options to get to your goal > try those steps Don’t give up my friend. Don’t forget about the rest of the steps
You might wanna add: read some books. Yes, they may sound boring. But books like the magic of thinking big are truly motivational and set you an amazing basis for starting out
What I Want: Become a teacher in the fields I am invested in(German and History) I have achieved the following steps for my goal : Made it out of the pauperistic cycle by graduating with the highest non universitary degree of my country Started to work in retail for my self-worth and confience I have a great circle of Friends who help me get to improve on my flaws and the backtracing of the generational standart(behaviour and the super late phase known as "finding your self" by expirimenting and using my chance to take inciative.) All this is what I have done in the 8 Months of this year. Edits will follow.
You really cooked with this one. It's hard to believe in yourself when you fall over and get up and fall over and just fall over so. many. times. I just had a vague idea of what I really want and chased what I thought it was, but its obvious now that I need to let my imagination run wild and believe that whatever I want, I can have. Then I can find what real success would be to me. So thanks.
Let’s go! I’m excited to see what you do, so keep me posted. In process of making a community because you are right.. it can be tough to believe in yourself while you are trying to change for the better. It feels lonely. Together, we can walk the path to make it easier

As long as the solution involves anything similar to "put in hard work, consistently" most people on this earth will not realize their dreams. It's just human nature. We seek the path of least resistance without even realizing it.
agree with you 1000%. that is the culture we live in unfortunately, the world needs more people willing to take the path with more resistance. How do we help with that? appreciate you and your feedback my friend
Maybe you should do what pro gamers do. Or reach to pro gaming communities for support. Start your gaming portfolio thru streaming or TH-cam videos.@@nickevershedmusic8927
The thing is - I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. In most areas where I focus my attention, like job or gym or whatever - it is pretty straight forward, and mistakes are obvious. But when it comes to dating - I'm stumped. There are so many variables that go into it that it's impossible for me to figure out the common denominator. To be fair - this goal is not "life or death" for me. I am quite content with myself, so I don't bend my very being in order to have a partner. And from what I can see, a lot of people date out of desperation. "Better to be with a man who abuses me than to be alone" is a common mentality. In my case - I will not settle down with just anyone, it needs to be a good fit for me. Not perfect, I'm not delusional, but something worth spending my time on. So in short - I want a relationship, but I'm not desperate, so it's not really going anywhere for now. But I also can't let go of it completely, because it feels wrong. Maybe that's the problem? Idk
Maybe change your view from 'someone to settle down with' to 'a companion I feel comfortable with'. That removal of expectation will take the pressure off you and the person you're dating. I was alone for a long time, took a gamble with online dating and found someone who it definitely NOT my 'type', but is generous, kind, funny, caring, etc. Sometimes you just have to be open to taking a risk, but always trust your gut.
@@Tamaresque I don't really expect a "lifetime soulmate" or whatever. I know that a lot of relationships go south after a few years, but that's fine by me. And I would give online dating another shot, but it has been an absolute disaster for me in the past. Plus as a bi dude in a very homophobic country, the amount of risk I take trying online dating is outstanding. It's rough out there for our folk
I'm a 57 year old man who been in several relationships. However my last was the best as she is now my best friend. No one knows me better than her. She got a new boyfriend that I think is a really great guy so I'm not fooling myself and I'm content being single. I as everyone else have my dark times but this has nothing to do with not having a girlfriend or wife. I Used to be shy and did not believe I would ever get into a relationship as I thought the chances of me falling in love with a person that would also fall in love with me would be terribly small. I also thought that the game people play is stupid and wondered why people could not be direct and honest. A friend at the time, currently psychotic btw, sad to me something along the lines of this. Look around and watch the other guys. Do they look better than you? Are they more interesting? smarter? You must realize that everyone, also the cutest or what you consider the best person also have desires, are insecure in their own ways and want to be seen as who they really are. (inside everyone there is a small child that want's to be seen. have you noticed how couples sometimes talk baby language to each other? It's about that). Playing games is not necessarily dishonest as all animals play games for reasons. Mind you, we play games in all walks of life, (also when we are alone, my umbrella is still a sword) and It's a way to find out more about the other, but also about yourself. For a girl it is more important to test the guy than it is for him to test her, and it's more important for a guy to be somewhat secure for a relationship to work, maybe unless she is much older than him. All games require practise though so you have to start of by striking conversations with others. It's scary and you will probably lose a lot in the beginning, so set your first goal to be just managing to talk to that person and not being afraid of appearing stupid. We are all stupid and make fools out of ourselves from time to time but the best are not afraid to laugh of themselves and therefore easier to hang out with. Don't use dating apps (particularly bad for women) and don't make sharp distinctions between a date, flirting or anything else. Better practicing with people on youtube than apps. Try to find people who share some interests by taking part in activities you like. Hiking, art courses, yoga, taking photos or playing an instrument in the streets, whatever people do other than looking at screens. Try to not look at your phone in social settings. Better then to read a book because that is attractive. Today, still not interested in a new relationship but flirt because it's fun, giving people compliments (both men and women). As long as you are not pushy or needie most people like to be liked by others, even if the other is not attractive to them. There can be an erotic tension and sparks without two people actually wanting to take it further. The tension can be fun in itself. But probably not so fun for younger people though. Hope it's something here you can use.
@@jonaseggen2230 the thing is - I don't feel attracted to anyone by looks alone. So I very, very rarely have a desire to talk to someone randomly that I don't know yet. From what I've gathered in my 26 years of life - most people strike up a conversation with someone of the opposite sex (or the same sex if they swing that way) because there is sexual interest, something in the looks catches people's attention and they decide to strike a conversation. That is not for me. I do find some people quite hot, but there's no burning desire inside, I don't care about looks in that sense. What attracts me and turns me on is actions, behaviour, what people say and how they say it, internal stuff. That's why I met a lot more friends and relationships in like twitch chats or random online groups than irl or even on dating sites (I don't use them anymore). And I know that to a certain extent looks are a mirror of the soul, but it's like a window in a mansion - you can see inside, but barely anything is covered. If I feel attracted to someone, I don't really have any problems approaching them. It's scary, yes, but nothing crazy really. But it never really led anywhere. And as I said - it's so rare for me to be interested in a random person. And I think it's too late for me honestly. I am not quite content with being single for all my life, but I'm getting there. I didn't fit in right, and that's something that happens to some people. It sucks, probably more than anything, but that's how things are. Without basically any experience, being as shy and introverted as I am, when everybody else already has "the game" figured out - there's no real chance of me meeting someone. The worst part of it all is - I know that what I imagine isn't true. That not all relationships are sunshine and rainbows, that not everyone already had massive experience in dating, there are a lot of people like me who never really tried. There are many things that I know for a fact, but the feeling that I'm missing out, the feeling that I am a loser because I never had a gf - the pain is real. We all struggle with different parts of life, and this is my burden to carry
@@iluxa-4000 Introverted people in general communicate better with one person than in a group. Group talk becomes to superficial or shallow. There is however possible to be introvert and extrovert in different contexts. I was bullied and shy and afraid to speak or express myself in groups, and whenever I found a group or people who liked and or accepted me, I was still, and still is an outsider. Today however I have no problem being different and visible, something that makes me attractive to other types of people. For a man 26 is not old and when I was 50 my last ex stumbled into my life. The first woman I had some kind of relationship was rather older than me I she though me a lot about women. I started with music/piano at 40, something that changed my life for the better rather much. I hope you will find other environments or milieu where other sides of you will be recognized and you can thrive. We are all like plasticine, moldable and even the most self sustained of us need others. There are no sigma people. It is something about expectations, that when we are most content and not really searching for anyone, they are more likely to stumble into our life. I agree that most people who strike a conversation with a stranger of the opposite sex (or whatever), are looking for a partner or sex, but not always. If you tell people who you are, that you are shy and talking to strangers makes you insecure, you will appear as aware and self conscious and thus stronger or more mature. People doing things are more attractive than consumers and I think for an introvert person in particular to find activities that involves others is important. Like say a course in cocking or whatever. Here in Norway many people go hiking in the mountains to find someone, but unfortunately for women, there are not that many guys doing the same. These days people at your age, extrovert or not seems more lonely to me. Maybe to do with social media, other crap the internett or other medias push into our heads or maybe to do with families shrinking. More and more people grow up with only one parent, something that has a different effect on boys and girls. We are all broken though as we live in an artificial world. But play. Ask silly questions, try to have fun. For me thinking about the grander scale of things, the size and age of the universe can sometimes be helpful. Problems become smaller and as everything is pointless really, I create my own purposes. Doing something that feels right, like planting a tree or care for others, talking to a beggar or an old lonely lady sitting there feeding birds helps them but also strengthen my self esteem.
Only catch about that last example though is that your reputation is ruined - you aren’t likely going to be trusted again in the same field (or any business you build) at that point and will have to choose a new goal in life. The analogy to the games: most games you can simply retry a level, or have infinite continues.. in life you can fail and fail for good, game over. You can’t just reset the level and most failures don’t reset someone back to square one, it sets them back further than where they started and ups the difficulty on a level they are already struggling to beat. I work with a lot of clients that have made mistakes and become incarcerated and unfortunately that means now the max potential where they can get in life is drastically lowered, and the difficulty to pass the same level as someone else is now exponentially more difficult. We have to carefully calculate the risk vs rewards in life because some things you only get one shot and can’t afford to fail.
I'm 14, and I feel like I'm stuck in one place, hopefully after watching your video i will finally go and atleast figure out my goal. It seems that i either have a lot of choices for what to in life, but at the same time, none. I always say that I'm just a teen and later, suddenly, I'll figure out my goal, but i know, i'ts definitely not how it works. I dont try to do anything, honestly. I just have no idea what i want, and i know no one can help me with that, i just dont know in which direction to go
It is completely normal to not know where to go. Happens to everyone at some point- You are young. I would try as many things out as you could. Pick one thing you THINK you would like and try it for a month. You either will find you like it and can keep course correcting OR you find you don’t like it and can make a better guess. Either way is a win. Enjoy the journey!

This channel is way better than Casually Explained because you actually explain the content without throwing an annoying ironic joke in every 2 seconds. Good job. You'll blow up in no time.
Keeping this comment section as a weekly notebook. As of Sunday 8/4/2024, I'm currently out of shape without a regular workour routine, my room's a mess, I'm eating like junk, I feel terrible, both physically and mentally, and I'm currently failing one of my summer classes. I'm going into my Junior year of college and I feel like I've made no progress for the last two years. I have a goal, to be a Meteorologist, but I've done very little to actually break that goal down into smaller steps. So I'm gonna do what this guy says, break my goal down into manageable steps, and get somewhere with myself. See you in a week.
We are cheering for you my friend. Difficult question, but one that has to be asked.. if things didn’t change for the next 5 years and you were in the same exact situation you are now.. how would it feel? You got this. One foot in front of the other
A good way to improve your goal is to make them "Smart". S - Specific (Exactly what is your goal? You want to be rich but how will you do this? Will you run a company? What would you sell?) M - Measurable (How are you going to measure your progress? Think metrics such as revenue or other factors that can be consistently measured) A - Achievable (Is your goal realistic to you? If not, can you break it down into smaller smart goals that contribute to your main goal? R - Relevant (Why is this your goal? Where does it place in the bigger picture? Does your goal matter to and motivate you?) T - Time Bound (A goal needs a timescale for you to work in, when do you want to achieve this goal? Is there enough time to fit all the smaller tasks?)
I like how you gloss over that there is luck, time constraints, and money involved in improving. This is literally Underpants Gnome logic that you've presented.
Wrong, people of wealth and luxury in our society have the time and means to even attempt more than survival within the system. You at least got the simple part nailed down.
money is something u can fix, time isn’t mentioned bc this process isn’t supposed to be an hour long, it’s ur entire life. there r ways to make urself more susceptible to lucky opportunities (if u sit at home doing nothing no luck is gonna come ur way. stop blaming other things and take accountability. u will never improve like that
@@philovermyer6166u completely missed the point. jimmy butler was homeless and now he’s an nba star. it’s pathetic on how ur blaming things and not reflecting on urself.
@@williamhuang3808 Being an NBA star isn't a thing you can work for, it's a thing that happens to you. You're coping with the fact that the world is random, that hard work is a lie, that your goals are as likely to be achieved as you are to be struck by lightning the more ambitious your goal. Money is not something you can fix, you either start with a lot of it or you will forever struggle to achieve anything ever. You are the very idiot that will buy $100k of dogecoin because Musk told you it's a sure bet and lose everything.
I'm back after 7 days! My life did get a little tiny bit better! It's not a big step but it did get better which is good for me even if it's little. I will continue this path Thank you again!
Sometimes people fail to figure out what went wrong. Sometimes you try again and again and again until you exhaust your resources or time horizon without having made any progress. That's fine, life is unfair. Someone has to lose. But let's at least acknowledge that.
Resourcefulness and problem solving. If you can find a way to stay in the game long enough, and making your next attempt 1% better.. eventually you will win based on logic
I think there is a point here that must be adressed: Why do we want the things we want? People drift aimlessly through life because they are not very aware of their own desires, and they suppress their greed on the wrong things until it comes back to bite them at the worst times. A person will rationalize how they don't have the money to start a new hobby, learn a new skill or start a business, or even save money in a fund (which i think is the least productive of these options), but they will spend hundreds on gambling, nice clothes, apparel and nights out. Many people live gritting their teeth surviving day to day, and then when they get a bit of freedom they blow it all on something that makes no lasting impact on their life. The rule is not to just set clear goals, but to also seek only clear desires. "Everyone wants to be rich", but what would that give you? If you were rich, say financially secure to the point you wouldn't need to think about basic living expenses what would you do? The answer to that question is the true desire that you have. Or maybe "being in shape", what do you want? Attention from the opposite sex? An ego boost? Are you going to the gym because you like lifting heavy weights? Or because you think that will make you feel better about yourself? See we are less independent in our desires than we think, and most of the common desires are actually cancerous, since they are so vague and vapid that you instantly lose motivation once you start working towards them. Now the good desires and the ones you should try to have more of, are the ones that are the most easily comprehensible and straight in front of your face. Let's say you break a chair and need to fix it/get a new one. Do that immediately, since that's a clear goal and clear desire that you can immediately fulfill. Or maybe you hear about a new game that sounds interesting. Go watch the trailer and sleep a night and if you wake up thinking of that game, then buy it. If you don't have the money, think what you need to do to afford it, then do exactly that, and get that game. Now your brain has solved a problem and received a reward as fast as possible and you start to Pavlov's dog your own brain into solving shit and getting it done immediately. The best businessmen statistically aren't the most cautious, but the ones who take risks and do stuff constantly, and are also resilient to the inevitable setbacks that come from those risks. Be a bit more impulsive, and go through with the stuff that you really want to do. Even if something seems impossible or frustrating it will feel amazing when you figure it out, just keep doing stuff and eventually it will work out. If you fail or burn out or need to take a break then do that and don't look back. When you get pissed off at yourself for sitting on a couch all day then start again. Skills and experience degrade really slowly once learned to a high enough degree. (And good tools last for a lifetime) The worst thing you can do is wait for the right opportunity, because time is the only thing that we are constantly spending. Or maybe i am completely wrong and somehow ruining my own life, but this mentality of not looking back and constantly trying new things and doing challenging stuff has made me appreciate everything a lot more. On paper life is pretty similar with marginal improvement, but mentally it has made me a lot more free, when i don't have to worry if the next choice impacts me in 20 years or something, just pick what feels right in the moment and then face the consequences.
I think this is a great perspective and ultimately.. whatever you have found to work for yourself, you should triple down on that Appreciate you my friend and thanks for watching -
This year is the first time I've done something successfully for months, the clarity of the goal was huge, an additional thing I came to realize tho is that my goal constantly shifted if I wasn't paying attention. So I might say I need to post a weekly TH-cam video as part of this step of the process to practice that skill, but then I'd post and I should be proud but my goal subconsciously shifted to "I actually want views" and then I felt bad instead of accomplished cause obviously starting out you're unlikely to get a ton of views. So the lesson that's gotten me the most consistency in bouncing back is noticing my goals shifting and bringing it back to the original goal and reminding myself how that's more big picture important over how many views this one video gets
Love the perspective, thanks for sharing! I agree, focusing on what you can control - the video posted - helps keep you sane along your journey. Keep me posted on your progress! Appreciate you and thanks for watching-
@partyboycs6086 you aren’t wrong. Unfortunately common sense isn’t always common practice Glad you found some value @cariyaputta appreciate you my friend-
@@simplereally. I guess I've just always kind of done what you said in this video, but many others aren't that way lol. Sry if comment was negative, I think I was just expecting more from the title 🤣
What does a person do if they're so burnt out, tired, and unfocused that they can't envision a goal? A goal of figuring out what your goal is is circular and nonspecific enough to be inactionable. Some of us need a sort of low level bootstrap process for how to at least get there.
One step at the time. Like brushing your teeth sloppily is better than not. Tidy a bit is better than nothing. Sosial media, consumption and alcohol/drugs bad. A walk or making a meal from scratch good. You will fall down the stairs again, but now you know the staircase a bit better. We never reach our goals because when we get there we found other goals. The journey, life itself here and now is the real thing.
This is the best motivational/productivity video you could watch. Just wow. Changed my perception a little but i would have needed this couple years ago so much more.
your comment made my day, my friend. I'm glad to hear you found some value here. Excited to see how you put the work in to make this year a good year. please do keep me updated on your progress-
this is called manifesting. and to reach your goal, most of the time you just manifest it without even knowing its manifesting or realizing it is. the main point of manifestation is to KNOW your goal and shape your soul/mindset and maybe even body for it. and when you do this, you are on the right path of it. if you dont become the "person" that achieved your dream, then you most likely to be on very different paths with it, i am not talking about becoming someone "else". you still have to be "you". and "you" must obtain and analyze what your soul needs. sometimes what your instinct or biological nature wants is not what your soul actually wants. the trick of manifesting is to stay positive, learning, keep being yourself, loving yourself and ACTUALLY trying
Love the insight and perspective you have! I’m sure this helped someone along their path too. Wishing you all the best this year and keep me posted on your progress. Appreciate you and thanks for adding your insight -
Above all this, you need a vision for your life. We can't avoid autopiloting through life every now and then. Having a proper vision for your life will ensure that you autopilot towards it, not away from it. Goals are nice and all, but if you don't know what they are working toward, you tend to lack the motivation to actually do the thing. Having a vision also makes you more attractive.
If you need some written advice, I have some that may/may not help: If you think you dont have a goal, you're wrong - you're drifting. Just do it. Im not quoting Nike. I'm not asking. I'm telling you. If you get tired, dont stop too soon. You're probably making at least some progress if you are. Feel the burn, and use even that to get rest, gain stamina etc. Stop procrastinating. Re-affirm: your loyalties, priorities, weaknesses/strengths, needs/wants etc. Re-evaluate people you're close to: e.g. so-called friends, family, colleagues, classmates etc.
The problem is that there are so many possible reasons for my problems and I can’t seem to find the root cause E.g.: Not doing the work and being on YT instead could be just a dopamine thing, it could be my subconscious telling me I am lazy (because I always got it told), it could be some deep trauma that causes it, it could be that I have a inner fear that I am not able to deliver what I promise (I have an agency), and much much more. What should I do in this situation?
This video, while true, is basically just saying things everybody already knows in a more sophisticated way to make it sound more wise than it actually is. "Keep doing new things until you get the specific result you were looking for" is a concept anybody with more than a pulse already understands.
Holy shit that's a really good ending with that question, "What are you going to do about it?" Respect dude, great video. Stuff like this helps give serious motivation for the push back when life gets difficult
To add, a lot of the problem is the mindset. If you're finding yourself say "I have to do X" every few minutes to motivate yourself, you're not going to last long. What you want to do is to weigh the difference of joy in setting on your behind to achieving your goal. William Danforth in "I Dare You!" wrote about an interesting point similar to this. He had a Scottish friend who drank alcohol but hated the taste of it. Why did he drink it then? For the effect. In the same way, something like exercise can take you from feeling comatose, depressed, and powerless, and turn it around to make you feel like you can actually achieve things, be flexible, be much less moody and be much more confident in yourself. If you treat the pain of goals, exercise, and so on like a video game character drinking a bottle of alcohol to be more outgoing, you'll go much, much farther than you'll expect. Well-made video, by the way
Appreciate you my friend and thanks for watching! Glad you found some value here, and more coming tomorrow- Appreciate you adding your insight as well I think that was an interesting perspective
I have 3 things I consider myself good at: Crocheting Fashion And music I don’t want to crochet for a living, I want to be nothing more than just a hobby out of work. I love fashion, creating cool outfits, see how my style has evolved over time, but man, I don’t like the fashion industry. So the only thing I can remotely consider is pursuing music. Which I actually lied, I’ve never written or composed a song. But I feel like I may have a chance at getting good at it. I have no idea what kind of music I want to make, which kinda fits my outlook on life. I don’t want to be categorised into a label just because. Whether it’s my looks, my behaviour, or my creations. So just now, after I’ve literally had a mental breakdown about how there’s “no hope” in my life, I actually came to some kind of conclusion. I’ve never been in this position where I’ve made a life choice i feel secure in. Maybe that’s just my tired brain but I think this may work. I just have to work on trusting the process… and maybe stop being so judgmental too…
Emotions are tricky to navigate. But anyone who has taken a step has felt unsure too. You figure it out as you go 99.9% of people will tell you they never have all the answers. The other .1% is lying
This is just so cool. I really enjoyed watching this and I've definitely learned what I needed to learn. Thanks for all the help!! I'm off to achieving my goals!!! ❤️
This is something I realized a while back, this is not untrue. We have the power in our own hands. Now imagine if we had an army of likeminded people? The possibilities are endless.
One thing you forgot to mention is the importance of pruning the less important things in life. For example, I spent many years trying to make a YT channel for MC videos. As time went on I realized that I wasn't enjoying the effort I put into the channel, so I decided to wrap up my channel and instead focus on just playing MC with my friends instead. This was a critical decision for me and it allowed me to not dread editing hours and hours of footage.
I love this. Great vid man. I especially agree with the "now youre not actually ruined as you know how to do it again in the fraction of the time". And this is so true. I might be autistic, or at least, had very untrained social skills. After so much work and learning social skills and improving my physique from a tiny guy to a little above average muscles, I successfully got together with a total of 10 girls in three years. Then I got a long term committed relationship with a daughter, but realized Ive been manipulated to give away all my money and also take a big loan for my ex fiance. Im not ruined, and I dont feel ruined despite the circumstances. Even got a bit chubby, and was fat at one point in the relationship. Weighed 81 kgs at my peak muscle to fat ratio, stopped working out, then got to 107kg... now I stoppad, or at least decreased, portion sizes, more brisk walks, cut out unhealthy foods. Now I weigh 92 kgs, Im Improving my skills and knowledge and try to put it into actions to start a business and make money away from my full time job somehow. Also stay consistent on my other YT channels. Let's see how I will do. Slowly but surely, I'm getting back up on my feet. Wish me luck, pal!
coming from one of the 3 percent that set a goal and turned my life around for the better, this video is accurate and amazing take initiative and try things, that, simple
my Longterm goal is to run a smoked meat roadside business. I want it to be just my smoker and I, selling to hungry people for dirt cheap. I did the math and most places are charging ALOT for food nowadays. Based off a 10lb bag of potatoes at Walmart, I can sell a 1/2Lb of French fries for just 86 cents and wouldn't be losing money. McDonalds is charging something like 4$ for a large. I can see how to be successful, but my problem as of right now is not having any free time to pursue it. I work full time and am going to school full time for electrical engineering. I work somewhere around 90hrs a week between the two. so what am I doing about it? I smoke or grill about 1 different thing a week. learning small lessons now that will help me be better at cooking once I go to sell it to people.
You have no clue how much this means to me. This video realy put a lot of perspective out there for me. If not for me, I won't disappoint you at all. Just one small thing. What does a person do if they are unsure about what goal to have? I mean literally no clue whatsoever.
What would make an AWESOME story for you to tell one day? Goals continue to change the further down the path you go. Start and you’ll find it my friend-
our generations parents were overbearing which has made us inherently struggle to do things for ourselves. We were also forced into being unnecessarily kind by the schooling system. I know this was/is the problem for me. But here goes nothing. 23 now, see you when im 30
I appreciate how simple yet very clear and concise you made this video, and it struck me very deep due to the fact you were on the spot about how I’m goal-less and need to realize that my problems are actually a lot simpler than they FEEL. Great work.
Here's the fun thing about "getting what you wanted", sometimes, the thing you thought you wanted, you don't actually want. I got an inflatable 12 foot boat with a 25 horse power motor. I took it out on the water once and I instantly regretted my decision for "wanting" this thing. I THOUGHT, I wanted it, but after experiencing it, I found out I didn't. Now, I look at things I want and always ask myself...do I really want that, or do I think I want that? It's usually just me thinking I want it. A second example is boots. I was watching a TH-cam channel that did reviews on boots and I wanted boots as well. I went out to a boot store, tried on boots and found out that I actually don't like them. It was the idea that I wanted and not the actual thing. You'll more than likely find this to be true in your experience as well. A lot of things you think you want, you don't even really want. So what I need to figure out now, is how to filter out what I want, compared to what I think I want.
Love the input you have shared. Life has a funny way of correcting us doesn't it? in a way, finding out what you don't want is still moving you closer to what you do want. It's course correction. Do it for long enough and eventually you will get there. Make your best guess, act, analyze, adjust, repeat. have you found what you think you want next?
I think about this all the time I see everyone around me act like the example in this video, theyre just lazy and unmotivated. You really can do anything, but youre not gonna get any further unless you pushit.
its a very simple concept isn't it? not easy, but simple. keep me posted on your progress, seems like you definitely know what you have to do. Let's make it a good year this year. appreciate you-
I've seen a lot of videos/tips etc. that follow the same logic as this one and I always thought: "Hey, thats some good advice, let's do that". But the more I think about it the more I start to question how and if this works for "normal" people. I came to the conclusion that I don't want anything that this strategy would work with. I just want to chill, spend time with friends, go on some adventures and maybe travel a little. In short I just want an easy and free life. I don't want money, fame or some other ambitious goal. But without money nothing I can't get the things I want or sustain them for a long time. A different society or world is what I need for that to happen. But I can't to anything to change that. So I will stick to the bare minimum to get the money I need to survive and do what I want as far as I can. Do you guys think that my thinking is flawed or that it's maybe an indication for depression or something else? I'm honestly interested in your thoughts about this.
You don’t NEED to want anything. You don’t need to have a huge goal. Not talking at you only sharing what I have found to work for me. When I don’t have something challenging me to be who I should / want to be.. I start going downhill. But if you keep honest tabs on yourself then maybe a giant goal isn’t what you want and need . Only way to find out is to act though
If my next 7 years don’t improve I’m suing you for false advertisement and fraud.
this comment is gold lol. Appreciate you watching, follow the framework and no way this doesn't improve you my friend-
Waiting for your followup in 7 years 🫡
Just reminding you in advance. (year 0)
It could take 7 seconds of common sense
ain’t no way 😭😭 7 years is really a long time,
i might wait and see 😱
The line that has forever changed my view was “imperfect action will always beat perfect inaction”
let me be that guy for a moment
If perfect inaction is the perfect type of action, than imperfect action cannot be better by definition. If inaction is not considered an action, then there is nothing to compare it to, therefore inaction cannot be perfect, or at least it is unnecessary to state that.

Ok seriously,
I've been seeing this a LOT lately so I have a legit question:
Did I miss a world meeting where we decided than and then are interchangeable?
Or is my if/then statement programming brain just being triggered?
Appreciate you my friend and thanks for watching! Glad you found some value here, and more coming tomorrow-
@omegadragon01 I’ll be honest, I have to double and triple check to make sure I’m using the correct form lol
Set goal > make goal specific > start somewhere > improve on your mistakes > when progress is lost get back up 'cause you know how to do it > profit
simple really! appreciate you for watching, excited to see what you accomplish the rest of the year. keep me posted!
@@sabin1618 frfr, but not like for small goals - they're quick and pretty easy to do although, let's admit it, they are very insignificant. Big goals require a lot of courage, time, dedication. The mere thought of that deflects us from going towards just because we see that from our supposed starting point they're impossible to do. I don't really know real people that just decided to do something big and consiously took the required steps, they rather vaguely approached their goal by doing a lot of random decisions that somewhat made them achieve something great. On paper, yeah it does sound pretty easy, but it doesn't take in the little factors of real life that work as a main opposing force of reaching our goals. For this reason I would like to say that this video bears some nice theoretical info, but not entirely practical.
@@sabin1618 i literally have the problem that i really dont have a goal, or lets say choose for a goal. there is nothing i want to achieve.
@@Mansory811 yeah I have the same problem, I can't make a big goal. I can plan and acomplish small goals, but they're practically worthless.
@@Mansory811 then just be happy - or if youre not really happy, learn to be happy - because if youre happy without anything, you will be happy too with everything. A thing that most people forget - they wortk their assses of to achieve somthing, get rich, but afterwards theyre not happy in life.
So first get happy without having or achiving anything, and as a happy person you will achive things way easier, without even trying. They fall in your lap. Also beeing a happy person makes everything relativ, you dont care to much about material stuff - most people chase for money and career, cause they miss something inside - and not for mental health and wellbeeing. Big mistake.
Right now, I am working two jobs, out of shape (close to obesity), have a huge debt on mortgage and an idea for business. I will watch this video everyday and follow its principles. I will update my status in 7 years, on Saturday, August 2nd 2031.
Most small businesses fail within the first year. I’m not saying this to discourage you, but given that you’re working two jobs and paying off a huge mortgage, the last thing I’d want to see happen would be for you to invest your precious money into a business idea and lose everything as a result. It can be game over really fast. Make sure you have a safety net and family to fall back on. I am cheering for you. Be careful.
GOOD LUCKKKKKK
good luck man, wishing you the best
I believe in you man, ya got this 😎
Good luck and God bless you 🙏
Brother, we believe in you.
I’ve noticed that when I take actions to improve my situation it ends up landing me in a better position. It may not be the exact best action but it’s a “guess” and doing something is better than nothing.
agree with you 100%! appreciate you adding your insight, seems like it has helped people also. imperfect action will beat perfect planning every time
"In 'Atomic Habits,' it's explained that being in motion isn't the same as taking action. When you're in motion, you're thinking, planning, and learning-activities that are helpful but don't directly achieve results. Action, however, is what actually gets things done and brings about real outcomes."
This is just basic logic I guess
Singing with the choir but yes, doing SOMETHING always gets the blood running in a different way than sitting and waiting.
You either learn that it wasn’t so hard and that you can do this or that this was not the way and you should do something else.
for those of you who don’t believe in this framework, look at this channel as an example. at the time of writing this, he’s only at 7K subscribers. it honestly feels like he’s making content worthy of 100K+ and it’s only a matter of guessing, taking action, and adjusting until he gets there. he’s in the SAME boat as us.
PHENOMENAL INSIGHT, appreciate you adding this. This channel can be an example, so work along side me. We are all going to make it, just need to keep working.
keep me posted on your progress my friend, excited to see what you accomplish-
So this framework leads to your measurable results noticeably falling behind your actual skill?
and a couple weeks later he's almost at 3 times that amount, with roughly 21k already.
A 250% increase in subscribers in 3 weeks is remarkable! 25,000 as of today.
@@johndoe-rq1pubad news, this aged horribly, in 3 weeks he's already up to 25k, what the framework does is allow you to build the skills so that when you are noticed, when you do start to expand you already have the skills of someone foe example with 100k subscribers

Even if you'll fail, you still gain some experience from your failure and can do better next time.
Phenomenal perspective, exactly! Use everything to keep moving you forward
Appreciate you, and I believe you insight helped someone else
I feel like an important angle to consider are objections like "I'm too depressed" or "I'm too anxious to do this". That would mean that your first actions should include developing coping skills to overcome these mental barriers. Doing something, even the littlest thing, will get you what you want someday. Make your bed, meditate, drink some water, etc.
Absolutely! By doing something when you don’t feel like it, that builds a lot of the needed skills you need to be successful
Discipline, mental toughness, etc
Great point in making the first step appropriately small-
Appreciate you my friend
Meditate in your waterbed.
I agree, coping skills are helpful 😊
Remember often times the people around you don't have goals either. Recruit them to help you with your goals.

Facts! No one can change your life but yourself.
I got my dream job and people ask how I did it all the time. I used to try and help, but whenever I say that it's completely in their hands, I hear an excuse, so now I just say 'ok' and move on.
Sadly that person isn't ready to get the life they want.

In professions like art, programming, and design, it's easy to see mistakes people made. So when you are not sure how to start you: "Do it wrong and then correct yourself". And then you can take advantage of that instinct you have when you want to point out and correct others' mistakes but for your own advantage.

Yes you did
@@simplereally. Was making a youtube chanel your goal, and did you achieve it by following the steps you mentioned.
@@TheGraphicalHarmonicist was honestly "afraid" of doing so! but watch a video from @danmartell where he said something along the lines of "if you have something that helped you out of life and you don't share it with others who are also struggling, that is wrong"
definitely got that quote not 100% right. I'm doing well for myself now - a lot of people doing even better. But if I can help someone fix their situation that's what matters
not sure if that was the answer you were looking for, but hope it helped-
One day I woke up and looked at my life. Heck I'm 18 now and I haven't developed a skill that I always wanted to, people younger than me have learned to draw or are masters at guitar.
I always wanted to make music, make art, and add a little bit of uniqueness in my not so interesting life.
So lately I've started to map out what I need to achieve those and what I can do.
I'm pretty good at math, so I've planned on tutoring to earn myself some money to afford what I need, like guitar equipment or a better drawing tablet.
Tutoring would also be a great way for me to interact with other people more often, it makes my life more eventful.
I hope whoever is reading this will also find their way to put their life into motion.
Love the vision you have and the effort you put into it. Now continue to take the action.
Keep me posted, if you came back and shared a link to a channel with your music that would be AWESOME for everyone to see.
Appreciate you , let’s make it a good year
I like how you're thinking! A personal tip from me is to make sure you don't get too sidetracked; even if the tutoring business is something you genuinely want to do, make sure you're practicing drawing before you have the money to get the equipment. You'd be surprised how much you can do with a pen and paper! (I do recommend pen to start, as it prevents you from perfectionism/constantly erasing "mistakes")
Best of luck, and feel free to keep us posted!
we forget that because of our tiring schedule and because we have the internet to give us the immediate boost of happiness we need so :
you should enjoy your hobby, learn by drawings ocs, things you imagine, things you find pretty, maybe an animation? but at least enjoy it. practice is key
@@thetominator1931 The paper advice really does make so much sense. I never considered that, but having zero means to undo failure has a rather unique feeling

glad you are finding value here. plan on giving you so much value you can't fail, as long as you are walking the path with me. lets make it a good year, yeah?
I've found this video about a week ago, when I fist watched it everything you said made sense but it didn't stick with me, just like the tens of other videos like this that I've watched, today I remembered this video and gave it another watch, while taking notes this time, and something inside my brain just clicked, all of the goals that I've set for myself after getting out of school were very broad, so I ended up not achieving them and on most occasions just quietly giving up on them. I was initially going to share my notes here on this comment but I think that would defeat the purpose of them, nowadays we don't usually spend time actually thinking about what we do and the content that we watch, I only realized this because I spent some extra time writing notes about the video and then cleaning them up while not doing anything else. Throughout the last year or so I've been trying to achieve some goals, again goals that were not well defined, and I failed a lot, I've watched a lot of videos like this one and most of them shared the same basic ideas: "Be mindful of what you do and actually do something rather than nothing even if you fail you'll have learnt something", I think defining clear goals was the missing piece, so thank you for sharing your ideas and methods, I'll give them a shot, even if I fail I will have learned some things.
ok real ꜱhit im like 17 rn and i have had this dream of making this huge story based game for like 9 years?? like ever since i was a little kid and whatever and ive been writing and putting things together for it since i was 14 but i suck at coding and have gotten NOWHERE with it at all and it all seems like the largest longest and most impossible task ever and i feel like im running out of time to do everything before my life changes drastically (college, work, military(maybe), etc......scared of the coming changes asf too which sucks) and this video really put things into perspective for me and changed my mindset about my dream and a lot of other things in literally just 7 minutes and thats just actually fuᴄking insane. i really appreciate the messages you send on here, i really hope more people see your videos because you are actually one of the most inspiring people on this platform.
i can FEEL the passion you have for your goal, it's awesome to see. Would be interested in checking that game out!
keep me posted on your progress as you continue to move forward and know I'm cheering for you. We both have some big goals and now need to put the work in-
Appreciate you my friend! continue to problem solve one step at a time
any luck with the coding yet bro? hope u succeed and watch ur dream happen
@@atryrb5653 yeah! im taking coding classes in school now :) everything is slowly coming together. thanks man
Similar to you I had a dream of creating something specific since I was about 14. I started at 18 and it's taken me further than I could've imagined

I treat life exactly the same as a video game. When you try to throw a grenade through a tiny window and blow yourself up, immediately laugh about it, load your last save and try something else. Some parts of the game you might fly through, others might take 100 attempts - kinda like dark souls. Again, similarly to dark souls, the boss that 99% of people struggle with for a week might be the one you breeze through on your second attempt, while the "easy" one according to others might be the bane of your existence. The game of life offers different challenges to everyone, but we can all play it and enjoy the process if we choose to.,
I knew something was off!!! Turns out I've been playing this P2W mobile game this whole time!! 😅 Can you believe it?? Seems like Raid: Shadow Legends is making my life much harder and grindier than it needs to be!
So...

Anywho, I can't wait to try out that other game you mentioned! Dark Souls was it? Downloading it now. Thanks random internet stranger! You guys have NEVER steered me wrong. I'll let ya know how it goes! ☺️
Awesome perspective my friend and thanks for sharing! Appreciate you and thanks for watching! Glad you found some value here, and more coming tomorrow-
there is a friend I have who I only talk to about important things like this. he told me smth like "I think u won't get far in life", After some thinking, I realised how wrong I was living, as was said in the vid, I was just existing. with no real plans or solid goals. I now more deeply understand my issue and know exactly how to go about it.

Love to hear it man, congrats! Keep riding that momentum-
You cannot fail if you keep trying and adjusting. Keep me posted, interested to see where you are at the end of the year
Idk why but the one line creed said in Rocky finally got me out of my life’s slump. All he said to rocky was”There is no tomorrow.” I’ve literally been saying that to myself every time I want to push something off, it made me realize that I was making myself more miserable by doing what seemed easier in the moment
Sounds dumb I know but just try it with all the small things you put off every day, for me it was things like laundry, making good meals, working out, etc.

You really cooked with this one. It's hard to believe in yourself when you fall over and get up and fall over and just fall over so. many. times. I just had a vague idea of what I really want and chased what I thought it was, but its obvious now that I need to let my imagination run wild and believe that whatever I want, I can have. Then I can find what real success would be to me. So thanks.

As long as the solution involves anything similar to "put in hard work, consistently" most people on this earth will not realize their dreams. It's just human nature. We seek the path of least resistance without even realizing it.

The thing is - I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. In most areas where I focus my attention, like job or gym or whatever - it is pretty straight forward, and mistakes are obvious. But when it comes to dating - I'm stumped. There are so many variables that go into it that it's impossible for me to figure out the common denominator. To be fair - this goal is not "life or death" for me. I am quite content with myself, so I don't bend my very being in order to have a partner. And from what I can see, a lot of people date out of desperation. "Better to be with a man who abuses me than to be alone" is a common mentality. In my case - I will not settle down with just anyone, it needs to be a good fit for me. Not perfect, I'm not delusional, but something worth spending my time on. So in short - I want a relationship, but I'm not desperate, so it's not really going anywhere for now. But I also can't let go of it completely, because it feels wrong. Maybe that's the problem? Idk
Maybe change your view from 'someone to settle down with' to 'a companion I feel comfortable with'. That removal of expectation will take the pressure off you and the person you're dating.
I was alone for a long time, took a gamble with online dating and found someone who it definitely NOT my 'type', but is generous, kind, funny, caring, etc. Sometimes you just have to be open to taking a risk, but always trust your gut.
@@Tamaresque I don't really expect a "lifetime soulmate" or whatever. I know that a lot of relationships go south after a few years, but that's fine by me. And I would give online dating another shot, but it has been an absolute disaster for me in the past. Plus as a bi dude in a very homophobic country, the amount of risk I take trying online dating is outstanding. It's rough out there for our folk
I'm a 57 year old man who been in several relationships. However my last was the best as she is now my best friend. No one knows me better than her. She got a new boyfriend that I think is a really great guy so I'm not fooling myself and I'm content being single. I as everyone else have my dark times but this has nothing to do with not having a girlfriend or wife.
I Used to be shy and did not believe I would ever get into a relationship as I thought the chances of me falling in love with a person that would also fall in love with me would be terribly small. I also thought that the game people play is stupid and wondered why people could not be direct and honest.
A friend at the time, currently psychotic btw, sad to me something along the lines of this. Look around and watch the other guys. Do they look better than you? Are they more interesting? smarter? You must realize that everyone, also the cutest or what you consider the best person also have desires, are insecure in their own ways and want to be seen as who they really are. (inside everyone there is a small child that want's to be seen. have you noticed how couples sometimes talk baby language to each other? It's about that).
Playing games is not necessarily dishonest as all animals play games for reasons. Mind you, we play games in all walks of life, (also when we are alone, my umbrella is still a sword) and It's a way to find out more about the other, but also about yourself. For a girl it is more important to test the guy than it is for him to test her, and it's more important for a guy to be somewhat secure for a relationship to work, maybe unless she is much older than him.
All games require practise though so you have to start of by striking conversations with others. It's scary and you will probably lose a lot in the beginning, so set your first goal to be just managing to talk to that person and not being afraid of appearing stupid. We are all stupid and make fools out of ourselves from time to time but the best are not afraid to laugh of themselves and therefore easier to hang out with.
Don't use dating apps (particularly bad for women) and don't make sharp distinctions between a date, flirting or anything else. Better practicing with people on youtube than apps. Try to find people who share some interests by taking part in activities you like. Hiking, art courses, yoga, taking photos or playing an instrument in the streets, whatever people do other than looking at screens. Try to not look at your phone in social settings. Better then to read a book because that is attractive.
Today, still not interested in a new relationship but flirt because it's fun, giving people compliments (both men and women). As long as you are not pushy or needie most people like to be liked by others, even if the other is not attractive to them. There can be an erotic tension and sparks without two people actually wanting to take it further. The tension can be fun in itself. But probably not so fun for younger people though.
Hope it's something here you can use.
@@jonaseggen2230 the thing is - I don't feel attracted to anyone by looks alone. So I very, very rarely have a desire to talk to someone randomly that I don't know yet. From what I've gathered in my 26 years of life - most people strike up a conversation with someone of the opposite sex (or the same sex if they swing that way) because there is sexual interest, something in the looks catches people's attention and they decide to strike a conversation. That is not for me. I do find some people quite hot, but there's no burning desire inside, I don't care about looks in that sense. What attracts me and turns me on is actions, behaviour, what people say and how they say it, internal stuff. That's why I met a lot more friends and relationships in like twitch chats or random online groups than irl or even on dating sites (I don't use them anymore). And I know that to a certain extent looks are a mirror of the soul, but it's like a window in a mansion - you can see inside, but barely anything is covered.
If I feel attracted to someone, I don't really have any problems approaching them. It's scary, yes, but nothing crazy really. But it never really led anywhere. And as I said - it's so rare for me to be interested in a random person.
And I think it's too late for me honestly. I am not quite content with being single for all my life, but I'm getting there. I didn't fit in right, and that's something that happens to some people. It sucks, probably more than anything, but that's how things are. Without basically any experience, being as shy and introverted as I am, when everybody else already has "the game" figured out - there's no real chance of me meeting someone.
The worst part of it all is - I know that what I imagine isn't true. That not all relationships are sunshine and rainbows, that not everyone already had massive experience in dating, there are a lot of people like me who never really tried. There are many things that I know for a fact, but the feeling that I'm missing out, the feeling that I am a loser because I never had a gf - the pain is real. We all struggle with different parts of life, and this is my burden to carry
@@iluxa-4000 Introverted people in general communicate better with one person than in a group. Group talk becomes to superficial or shallow. There is however possible to be introvert and extrovert in different contexts. I was bullied and shy and afraid to speak or express myself in groups, and whenever I found a group or people who liked and or accepted me, I was still, and still is an outsider. Today however I have no problem being different and visible, something that makes me attractive to other types of people.
For a man 26 is not old and when I was 50 my last ex stumbled into my life. The first woman I had some kind of relationship was rather older than me I she though me a lot about women. I started with music/piano at 40, something that changed my life for the better rather much.
I hope you will find other environments or milieu where other sides of you will be recognized and you can thrive.
We are all like plasticine, moldable and even the most self sustained of us need others. There are no sigma people.
It is something about expectations, that when we are most content and not really searching for anyone, they are more likely to stumble into our life.
I agree that most people who strike a conversation with a stranger of the opposite sex (or whatever), are looking for a partner or sex, but not always. If you tell people who you are, that you are shy and talking to strangers makes you insecure, you will appear as aware and self conscious and thus stronger or more mature.
People doing things are more attractive than consumers and I think for an introvert person in particular to find activities that involves others is important. Like say a course in cocking or whatever. Here in Norway many people go hiking in the mountains to find someone, but unfortunately for women, there are not that many guys doing the same.
These days people at your age, extrovert or not seems more lonely to me. Maybe to do with social media, other crap the internett or other medias push into our heads or maybe to do with families shrinking. More and more people grow up with only one parent, something that has a different effect on boys and girls. We are all broken though as we live in an artificial world.
But play. Ask silly questions, try to have fun. For me thinking about the grander scale of things, the size and age of the universe can sometimes be helpful. Problems become smaller and as everything is pointless really, I create my own purposes. Doing something that feels right, like planting a tree or care for others, talking to a beggar or an old lonely lady sitting there feeding birds helps them but also strengthen my self esteem.
Only catch about that last example though is that your reputation is ruined - you aren’t likely going to be trusted again in the same field (or any business you build) at that point and will have to choose a new goal in life. The analogy to the games: most games you can simply retry a level, or have infinite continues.. in life you can fail and fail for good, game over. You can’t just reset the level and most failures don’t reset someone back to square one, it sets them back further than where they started and ups the difficulty on a level they are already struggling to beat. I work with a lot of clients that have made mistakes and become incarcerated and unfortunately that means now the max potential where they can get in life is drastically lowered, and the difficulty to pass the same level as someone else is now exponentially more difficult. We have to carefully calculate the risk vs rewards in life because some things you only get one shot and can’t afford to fail.
I'm 14, and I feel like I'm stuck in one place, hopefully after watching your video i will finally go and atleast figure out my goal. It seems that i either have a lot of choices for what to in life, but at the same time, none. I always say that I'm just a teen and later, suddenly, I'll figure out my goal, but i know, i'ts definitely not how it works. I dont try to do anything, honestly. I just have no idea what i want, and i know no one can help me with that, i just dont know in which direction to go
Dude figure it out early and pursue it, talk to a guidance counselor, look into work programs. Don’t waste your youth.
@barrymacocknher3720 In my country, we don't have a guidance counselor, but I can try tho to look into work programs
It is completely normal to not know where to go. Happens to everyone at some point-
You are young. I would try as many things out as you could. Pick one thing you THINK you would like and try it for a month. You either will find you like it and can keep course correcting OR you find you don’t like it and can make a better guess.
Either way is a win. Enjoy the journey!

Keeping this comment section as a weekly notebook. As of Sunday 8/4/2024, I'm currently out of shape without a regular workour routine, my room's a mess, I'm eating like junk, I feel terrible, both physically and mentally, and I'm currently failing one of my summer classes. I'm going into my Junior year of college and I feel like I've made no progress for the last two years. I have a goal, to be a Meteorologist, but I've done very little to actually break that goal down into smaller steps. So I'm gonna do what this guy says, break my goal down into manageable steps, and get somewhere with myself. See you in a week.
Aight bro I’m waiting
Good luck! But really, luck doesn't come into it. "If is it to be, it's up to me." I hope you get there.
We are cheering for you my friend. Difficult question, but one that has to be asked.. if things didn’t change for the next 5 years and you were in the same exact situation you are now.. how would it feel?
You got this. One foot in front of the other
A good way to improve your goal is to make them "Smart".
S - Specific (Exactly what is your goal? You want to be rich but how will you do this? Will you run a company? What would you sell?)
M - Measurable (How are you going to measure your progress? Think metrics such as revenue or other factors that can be consistently measured)
A - Achievable (Is your goal realistic to you? If not, can you break it down into smaller smart goals that contribute to your main goal?
R - Relevant (Why is this your goal? Where does it place in the bigger picture? Does your goal matter to and motivate you?)
T - Time Bound (A goal needs a timescale for you to work in, when do you want to achieve this goal? Is there enough time to fit all the smaller tasks?)
Love it! Appreciate the insight you gave, I’m sure it helped someone on their path

Wrong, people of wealth and luxury in our society have the time and means to even attempt more than survival within the system. You at least got the simple part nailed down.
money is something u can fix, time isn’t mentioned bc this process isn’t supposed to be an hour long, it’s ur entire life. there r ways to make urself more susceptible to lucky opportunities (if u sit at home doing nothing no luck is gonna come ur way. stop blaming other things and take accountability. u will never improve like that
@@philovermyer6166u completely missed the point. jimmy butler was homeless and now he’s an nba star. it’s pathetic on how ur blaming things and not reflecting on urself.
@@williamhuang3808 Being an NBA star isn't a thing you can work for, it's a thing that happens to you. You're coping with the fact that the world is random, that hard work is a lie, that your goals are as likely to be achieved as you are to be struck by lightning the more ambitious your goal. Money is not something you can fix, you either start with a lot of it or you will forever struggle to achieve anything ever. You are the very idiot that will buy $100k of dogecoin because Musk told you it's a sure bet and lose everything.

Sometimes people fail to figure out what went wrong. Sometimes you try again and again and again until you exhaust your resources or time horizon without having made any progress. That's fine, life is unfair. Someone has to lose. But let's at least acknowledge that.
Resourcefulness and problem solving.
If you can find a way to stay in the game long enough, and making your next attempt 1% better.. eventually you will win based on logic

Appreciate you my friend glad you found some value here!

I think there is a point here that must be adressed: Why do we want the things we want?
People drift aimlessly through life because they are not very aware of their own desires, and they suppress their greed on the wrong things until it comes back to bite them at the worst times. A person will rationalize how they don't have the money to start a new hobby, learn a new skill or start a business, or even save money in a fund (which i think is the least productive of these options), but they will spend hundreds on gambling, nice clothes, apparel and nights out. Many people live gritting their teeth surviving day to day, and then when they get a bit of freedom they blow it all on something that makes no lasting impact on their life. The rule is not to just set clear goals, but to also seek only clear desires.
"Everyone wants to be rich", but what would that give you? If you were rich, say financially secure to the point you wouldn't need to think about basic living expenses what would you do? The answer to that question is the true desire that you have. Or maybe "being in shape", what do you want? Attention from the opposite sex? An ego boost? Are you going to the gym because you like lifting heavy weights? Or because you think that will make you feel better about yourself? See we are less independent in our desires than we think, and most of the common desires are actually cancerous, since they are so vague and vapid that you instantly lose motivation once you start working towards them.
Now the good desires and the ones you should try to have more of, are the ones that are the most easily comprehensible and straight in front of your face. Let's say you break a chair and need to fix it/get a new one. Do that immediately, since that's a clear goal and clear desire that you can immediately fulfill. Or maybe you hear about a new game that sounds interesting. Go watch the trailer and sleep a night and if you wake up thinking of that game, then buy it. If you don't have the money, think what you need to do to afford it, then do exactly that, and get that game. Now your brain has solved a problem and received a reward as fast as possible and you start to Pavlov's dog your own brain into solving shit and getting it done immediately. The best businessmen statistically aren't the most cautious, but the ones who take risks and do stuff constantly, and are also resilient to the inevitable setbacks that come from those risks.
Be a bit more impulsive, and go through with the stuff that you really want to do. Even if something seems impossible or frustrating it will feel amazing when you figure it out, just keep doing stuff and eventually it will work out. If you fail or burn out or need to take a break then do that and don't look back. When you get pissed off at yourself for sitting on a couch all day then start again. Skills and experience degrade really slowly once learned to a high enough degree. (And good tools last for a lifetime) The worst thing you can do is wait for the right opportunity, because time is the only thing that we are constantly spending.
Or maybe i am completely wrong and somehow ruining my own life, but this mentality of not looking back and constantly trying new things and doing challenging stuff has made me appreciate everything a lot more. On paper life is pretty similar with marginal improvement, but mentally it has made me a lot more free, when i don't have to worry if the next choice impacts me in 20 years or something, just pick what feels right in the moment and then face the consequences.
I think this is a great perspective and ultimately.. whatever you have found to work for yourself, you should triple down on that

This year is the first time I've done something successfully for months, the clarity of the goal was huge, an additional thing I came to realize tho is that my goal constantly shifted if I wasn't paying attention. So I might say I need to post a weekly TH-cam video as part of this step of the process to practice that skill, but then I'd post and I should be proud but my goal subconsciously shifted to "I actually want views" and then I felt bad instead of accomplished cause obviously starting out you're unlikely to get a ton of views. So the lesson that's gotten me the most consistency in bouncing back is noticing my goals shifting and bringing it back to the original goal and reminding myself how that's more big picture important over how many views this one video gets
Love the perspective, thanks for sharing! I agree, focusing on what you can control - the video posted - helps keep you sane along your journey.
Keep me posted on your progress! Appreciate you and thanks for watching-
I watch this at 3x speed and it's well worth 2 minutes of my attention
This wasn't even worth 2 minutes of attention, everything in this video is just common sense.
@partyboycs6086 you aren’t wrong. Unfortunately common sense isn’t always common practice
Glad you found some value @cariyaputta appreciate you my friend-
@@simplereally. I guess I've just always kind of done what you said in this video, but many others aren't that way lol. Sry if comment was negative, I think I was just expecting more from the title 🤣
NAAAAAAAAH Putting tesla and edison together is CRAZY
We deserve to know the TRUTH
What does a person do if they're so burnt out, tired, and unfocused that they can't envision a goal? A goal of figuring out what your goal is is circular and nonspecific enough to be inactionable. Some of us need a sort of low level bootstrap process for how to at least get there.
One step at the time. Like brushing your teeth sloppily is better than not. Tidy a bit is better than nothing. Sosial media, consumption and alcohol/drugs bad. A walk or making a meal from scratch good. You will fall down the stairs again, but now you know the staircase a bit better. We never reach our goals because when we get there we found other goals. The journey, life itself here and now is the real thing.
This is the best motivational/productivity video you could watch. Just wow. Changed my perception a little but i would have needed this couple years ago so much more.
your comment made my day, my friend. I'm glad to hear you found some value here. Excited to see how you put the work in to make this year a good year. please do keep me updated on your progress-
this is called manifesting. and to reach your goal, most of the time you just manifest it without even knowing its manifesting or realizing it is. the main point of manifestation is to KNOW your goal and shape your soul/mindset and maybe even body for it. and when you do this, you are on the right path of it. if you dont become the "person" that achieved your dream, then you most likely to be on very different paths with it, i am not talking about becoming someone "else". you still have to be "you". and "you" must obtain and analyze what your soul needs. sometimes what your instinct or biological nature wants is not what your soul actually wants. the trick of manifesting is to stay positive, learning, keep being yourself, loving yourself and ACTUALLY trying
Love the insight and perspective you have! I’m sure this helped someone along their path too.
Wishing you all the best this year and keep me posted on your progress. Appreciate you and thanks for adding your insight -
Discipline and consistency will play a major part in you reaching your goal
Couldn’t agree more!
Compared this to the times I have been successful in life and you made some amazing points that are absolutely true. Thank you for the motivation ❤
Appreciate you my friend glad you found some value here!
Much more coming soon, thanks for watching-
Adding few here, set goals for each area of your life.
Work, family, wealth, health,.. de nada.
Above all this, you need a vision for your life. We can't avoid autopiloting through life every now and then. Having a proper vision for your life will ensure that you autopilot towards it, not away from it.
Goals are nice and all, but if you don't know what they are working toward, you tend to lack the motivation to actually do the thing.
Having a vision also makes you more attractive.
Love your perspective! Appreciate you my friend and thanks for watching! Glad you found some value here, and more coming tomorrow-
universe will choose the path of least resistance 100 out of 100 times
If you need some written advice, I have some that may/may not help:
If you think you dont have a goal, you're wrong - you're drifting.
Just do it. Im not quoting Nike. I'm not asking. I'm telling you.
If you get tired, dont stop too soon. You're probably making at least some progress if you are.
Feel the burn, and use even that to get rest, gain stamina etc.
Stop procrastinating.
Re-affirm: your loyalties, priorities, weaknesses/strengths, needs/wants etc.
Re-evaluate people you're close to: e.g. so-called friends, family, colleagues, classmates etc.
Appreciate you sharing some insight! Let’s make this is a good year yeah?
Thanks for watching
"this is the one brother" got me 🤣
Appreciate you my friend and thanks for watching! Glad you found some value here, and more coming tomorrow-
The problem is that there are so many possible reasons for my problems and I can’t seem to find the root cause
E.g.: Not doing the work and being on YT instead could be just a dopamine thing, it could be my subconscious telling me I am lazy (because I always got it told), it could be some deep trauma that causes it, it could be that I have a inner fear that I am not able to deliver what I promise (I have an agency), and much much more.
What should I do in this situation?
Thanks for the heart but no reply :|
You might have ADHD. If you have it medication might help you focus
This video, while true, is basically just saying things everybody already knows in a more sophisticated way to make it sound more wise than it actually is. "Keep doing new things until you get the specific result you were looking for" is a concept anybody with more than a pulse already understands.
You are correct! Common sense isn’t always common practice. These days, it’s rare.
Thanks for watching, all the best-
Holy shit that's a really good ending with that question, "What are you going to do about it?" Respect dude, great video. Stuff like this helps give serious motivation for the push back when life gets difficult
Appreciate you my friend and thanks for watching! Glad you found some value here, and more coming tomorrow-
To add, a lot of the problem is the mindset. If you're finding yourself say "I have to do X" every few minutes to motivate yourself, you're not going to last long. What you want to do is to weigh the difference of joy in setting on your behind to achieving your goal.
William Danforth in "I Dare You!" wrote about an interesting point similar to this. He had a Scottish friend who drank alcohol but hated the taste of it. Why did he drink it then? For the effect. In the same way, something like exercise can take you from feeling comatose, depressed, and powerless, and turn it around to make you feel like you can actually achieve things, be flexible, be much less moody and be much more confident in yourself. If you treat the pain of goals, exercise, and so on like a video game character drinking a bottle of alcohol to be more outgoing, you'll go much, much farther than you'll expect.
Well-made video, by the way
Appreciate you my friend and thanks for watching! Glad you found some value here, and more coming tomorrow-
Appreciate you adding your insight as well I think that was an interesting perspective
I have 3 things I consider myself good at:
Crocheting
Fashion
And music
I don’t want to crochet for a living, I want to be nothing more than just a hobby out of work.
I love fashion, creating cool outfits, see how my style has evolved over time, but man, I don’t like the fashion industry.
So the only thing I can remotely consider is pursuing music. Which I actually lied, I’ve never written or composed a song. But I feel like I may have a chance at getting good at it.
I have no idea what kind of music I want to make, which kinda fits my outlook on life. I don’t want to be categorised into a label just because. Whether it’s my looks, my behaviour, or my creations.
So just now, after I’ve literally had a mental breakdown about how there’s “no hope” in my life, I actually came to some kind of conclusion.
I’ve never been in this position where I’ve made a life choice i feel secure in. Maybe that’s just my tired brain but I think this may work. I just have to work on trusting the process… and maybe stop being so judgmental too…
Emotions are tricky to navigate. But anyone who has taken a step has felt unsure too. You figure it out as you go
99.9% of people will tell you they never have all the answers. The other .1% is lying
This is just so cool. I really enjoyed watching this and I've definitely learned what I needed to learn. Thanks for all the help!! I'm off to achieving my goals!!! ❤️
This is something I realized a while back, this is not untrue. We have the power in our own hands. Now imagine if we had an army of likeminded people? The possibilities are endless.
Love your perspective! It’s true. Simple, but not easy
Appreciate you my friend and thanks for watching
idk bro but this video is really just so simple and accurate lmao I love you brother thank you for sharing information w us❤❤❤❤
Appreciate you my friend glad you found some value here!
Much more coming soon, thanks for watching-
One thing you forgot to mention is the importance of pruning the less important things in life. For example, I spent many years trying to make a YT channel for MC videos. As time went on I realized that I wasn't enjoying the effort I put into the channel, so I decided to wrap up my channel and instead focus on just playing MC with my friends instead. This was a critical decision for me and it allowed me to not dread editing hours and hours of footage.
The Pareto principle wins again! I agree with you man. There’s a few core things in life that bring us the most joy. What if we just focused on those?
This is the sort of motivational video that works for me
I’m glad you found some value here! Appreciate you and thanks for watching
All the best-
I love this. Great vid man. I especially agree with the "now youre not actually ruined as you know how to do it again in the fraction of the time". And this is so true. I might be autistic, or at least, had very untrained social skills. After so much work and learning social skills and improving my physique from a tiny guy to a little above average muscles, I successfully got together with a total of 10 girls in three years.
Then I got a long term committed relationship with a daughter, but realized Ive been manipulated to give away all my money and also take a big loan for my ex fiance. Im not ruined, and I dont feel ruined despite the circumstances. Even got a bit chubby, and was fat at one point in the relationship. Weighed 81 kgs at my peak muscle to fat ratio, stopped working out, then got to 107kg... now I stoppad, or at least decreased, portion sizes, more brisk walks, cut out unhealthy foods.
Now I weigh 92 kgs, Im Improving my skills and knowledge and try to put it into actions to start a business and make money away from my full time job somehow. Also stay consistent on my other YT channels. Let's see how I will do. Slowly but surely, I'm getting back up on my feet.
Wish me luck, pal!
Wishing you all the best my friend! Keep me posted on your journey, I want to see you win.
One step at a time-
"Everything you want you can have"
1. Think about what you want
2. Make a guess of what that step is to get there
3. Take the step
Simple as that!
Appreciate you my friend, all the best-
coming from one of the 3 percent that set a goal and turned my life around for the better, this video is accurate and amazing take initiative and try things, that, simple
Love to hear about your journey my friend! Appreciate you watching and adding your insight.
All the best-
my Longterm goal is to run a smoked meat roadside business. I want it to be just my smoker and I, selling to hungry people for dirt cheap. I did the math and most places are charging ALOT for food nowadays. Based off a 10lb bag of potatoes at Walmart, I can sell a 1/2Lb of French fries for just 86 cents and wouldn't be losing money. McDonalds is charging something like 4$ for a large. I can see how to be successful, but my problem as of right now is not having any free time to pursue it. I work full time and am going to school full time for electrical engineering. I work somewhere around 90hrs a week between the two. so what am I doing about it? I smoke or grill about 1 different thing a week. learning small lessons now that will help me be better at cooking once I go to sell it to people.
7 minutes well spend.
Thank you sir!
You have no clue how much this means to me. This video realy put a lot of perspective out there for me. If not for me, I won't disappoint you at all.
Just one small thing. What does a person do if they are unsure about what goal to have? I mean literally no clue whatsoever.
What would make an AWESOME story for you to tell one day?
Goals continue to change the further down the path you go. Start and you’ll find it my friend-
@@simplereally. One of the coolest advice hands down!!!
our generations parents were overbearing which has made us inherently struggle to do things for ourselves. We were also forced into being unnecessarily kind by the schooling system.
I know this was/is the problem for me.
But here goes nothing.
23 now, see you when im 30
Keep me posted on your progress!
Appreciate you and all the best-
This video is truly powerful I admire the work
I appreciate how simple yet very clear and concise you made this video, and it struck me very deep due to the fact you were on the spot about how I’m goal-less and need to realize that my problems are actually a lot simpler than they FEEL. Great work.
Appreciate you my friend and thanks for watching! Glad you found some value here, and more coming tomorrow-
Here's the fun thing about "getting what you wanted", sometimes, the thing you thought you wanted, you don't actually want. I got an inflatable 12 foot boat with a 25 horse power motor. I took it out on the water once and I instantly regretted my decision for "wanting" this thing. I THOUGHT, I wanted it, but after experiencing it, I found out I didn't. Now, I look at things I want and always ask myself...do I really want that, or do I think I want that? It's usually just me thinking I want it.
A second example is boots. I was watching a TH-cam channel that did reviews on boots and I wanted boots as well. I went out to a boot store, tried on boots and found out that I actually don't like them. It was the idea that I wanted and not the actual thing. You'll more than likely find this to be true in your experience as well. A lot of things you think you want, you don't even really want.
So what I need to figure out now, is how to filter out what I want, compared to what I think I want.
Love the input you have shared. Life has a funny way of correcting us doesn't it?
in a way, finding out what you don't want is still moving you closer to what you do want. It's course correction. Do it for long enough and eventually you will get there. Make your best guess, act, analyze, adjust, repeat.
have you found what you think you want next?
@@simplereally. Thanks. I'll reflect on that.
I think about this all the time I see everyone around me act like the example in this video, theyre just lazy and unmotivated. You really can do anything, but youre not gonna get any further unless you pushit.
its a very simple concept isn't it? not easy, but simple.
keep me posted on your progress, seems like you definitely know what you have to do. Let's make it a good year this year.
appreciate you-
Why is a concept so simple... so profound. Idk why, but this hit me like a truck.
Appreciate you my friend and thanks for watching! Glad you found some value here, and more coming tomorrow-
I got fit. You can do it too. May the "Prodigy Roadblox" be with you, anon.
Appreciate you my friend! Awesome to hear you got fit.
More value coming very soon-
I've seen a lot of videos/tips etc. that follow the same logic as this one and I always thought: "Hey, thats some good advice, let's do that". But the more I think about it the more I start to question how and if this works for "normal" people. I came to the conclusion that I don't want anything that this strategy would work with. I just want to chill, spend time with friends, go on some adventures and maybe travel a little. In short I just want an easy and free life. I don't want money, fame or some other ambitious goal. But without money nothing I can't get the things I want or sustain them for a long time. A different society or world is what I need for that to happen. But I can't to anything to change that. So I will stick to the bare minimum to get the money I need to survive and do what I want as far as I can.
Do you guys think that my thinking is flawed or that it's maybe an indication for depression or something else? I'm honestly interested in your thoughts about this.
You don’t NEED to want anything. You don’t need to have a huge goal.
Not talking at you only sharing what I have found to work for me. When I don’t have something challenging me to be who I should / want to be.. I start going downhill.
But if you keep honest tabs on yourself then maybe a giant goal isn’t what you want and need .
Only way to find out is to act though
