  • This is a video I made a while back, but took a month to get the clips. I originally wrote this as an essay for my English class but realized it could make a good video. In the video, I explain the dangers of staying normal and comfortable where you are, and how escaping changes your life. Enjoy!

    Hey! I just saw this video after I finished watching a video for a class and have to say it's motivated me to start being more productive. I've decided when I get home from school that I'm going to go for a walk (maybe ride my bike to mix things up) before starting on homework to refresh my brain & not sit around on my lazy bum doing nothing & avoid doing my homework. I feel like if I'm being productive at something else then it will motivate me to be more productive while doing things such as homework. I know I've definitely not done things because I've forgotten because I just haven't been motivated. This is just a start, but I plan to do more in the future and try to not live by the stupid social standards this world has set up. There don't seem to be as many people out there with great common sense. Thanks so much for making this video! It helps seeing other people do it and you should definitely have more people watching your stuff because it is awesome and definitely inspiring! 😄
    *Also I agree with the US banning TikTok, but for a different reason. I think it is too addictive and people could be doing better things with their lives instead of staying up until 3 am. I definitely plan on trying to only be on electronics if it is for school work or if I'm texting with someone (but not for hours upon hours). If you're able to, try slowly decreasing your hours on TikTok everyone & go for a walk, enjoy nature, read a book, or sleep (if you don't get enough already). You may just find how great it feels to do things like that!

      @@wrkt. Hey. So I went on a bike ride today and it was quite fun and refreshing. I think my motivation & proactiveness just gets depleted whenever I'm on my computer. Should I think about moving to somewhere else and call that my new workplace? Maybe my brain is just so used to going on other things instead of doing my work in this space. Do you have any suggestions on how to get rid of my urge to try doing something else on my computer instead of my homework? I can't just stop using my computer though because most of my work is online.

    It’s so nice to see this pop up in my feed. As of today, I’m on day 552 of my lifestyle change. So far, I’ve lost 101 pounds, I feel a lot more positive minded, have a better relationship with my wife, children and friends, more physically, mentally, and spiritually aware and responsible. I’m truly happy to be on this journey, and seeing more wholesome, simple and sincere content like this is a wonderful boost. Please keep it up! You’ve just earned yourself another subscriber.

      @@wrkt. It is, mostly since I’ve had the mass on for so long that whenever anyone comments on it I’m still catching up to understanding just how much of a difference it is. I’m not quite to my ultimate goal for weight or physicality, but I’m certainly getting there. Plus, I’m still getting to where I want as far as my mental and spiritual goals, so I have plenty to work on and keep me busy.
      Something I didn’t expect on the journey has been developing the mentally of “why not?” Like, “why not try this new technique?” “Why not go on this nature hike?” “Why not try this new hobby? That looks kinda cool,” and then doing it for the sake of doing it and because you want to. Not because you’re told to or expected to. Life certainly has gotten more fulfilling and worthwhile, especially with my family.

    • @wrkt.
      @wrkt.  22 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      Hey man! I read your comment and I was just curious: do you think Tiktok really helps you DEAL with negative things in your life, or it just lets you escape for a few hours? From what I have learned, the first option would be something healthy and the second not as much. Maybe if you want, try to find a hobby or activity that is a bit healthier,, in order to deal with your negative problems man. I used to have tiktok and I thought the same, but all it really did was make me compare myself to others and make me feel worse. Maybe its different for you? Just my thoughts! Good luck!

      @iamassyl 22 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @@wrkt. thanks for your thoughts! yes you are right. I think i misphrased myself. It helps me avoid certain things (mostly smaller problems). Tiktok or even youtube does not actually help me with solving and dealing with my actual problems. I’d say that comparing myself to others isn’t something that I focus on too much whilst being on those apps. It’s more so displacing my focus to things like other comedy/drama haha.

      @@iamassyl Great reply! I agree, these apps are very good at displacing people's focus. I think about it like this: every time I open a social media app, it is a battle between my mind, trying to stay present and on task, and every single software engineer at the site, like youtube, trying to keep me on the site. I'd say the biggest thing that helped me was allowing a different activity to let me displace my focus. Mostly reading. I find it more productive, more relaxing, and I have been sleeping a LOT better than before. Hopefully this helps!

    Yo man love your shit. I honestly think we need more true and honest people like you on this platform, or overall in life. I'm currently 14 and I'm tryna find where I wanna go in life. I've been kinda like balancing between the Andrew Tate or David Goggins mentality and I've decided to totally drop the Tate bs. Or like the: you have be a millionaire at 24 years of age. Most of these finance mfs are painting a fake picture and tryna sell some course to make money for themselves. Or maybe I'm wrong and being too skeptical. But anyways, this is the reason why I respect honest people like you. I just thought to myself: why am I worrying about being a millionaire when my aunt who is currently 83 told me that she was still playing with dolls at my age. Maybe the year gap explains it but still. Kids just aren't kids anymore. But ofc this just my view, I'm no philosopher. I just want to be happy at the end of the day but not lazy.
    So I want to ask you.
    I wan't to gain muscle, look the best I can naturally (none of that plastic surgery shit) and maybe find a partner in life. And at the same time I want to be a tough person mentally too. I've tried that David Goggins shit and my best achievements are: ran 15 km in 2 hours and 30 mins in the sauna no breaks or drinking water. Took me exactly 3 months and I used inflicting pain on myself as a coping mechanism for the discomfort so ig I didn't do it legit. I know these aren't that good as achievements but they are my best and only proof that I ain't absolute shit.
    Now problem.
    I wan't to gain muscle and go on runs n shit. But I don't have enough money to buy money (Tf happened here. *To buy food) to fuel myself with. Here's when the money making and Tate shit comes in. But I'm to skeptical to try any of the shit these finance mfs are telling me to do. So I'm kinda stuck in a limbo of not being sure what to do.
    Sorry for the yappathon man but I genuinely wish you all the best in life.

    • @wrkt.
      @wrkt.  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Damn thanks for sharing! 15 km is no easy task, especially in 2 hours! I cannot really give you advice about money, because I am still on my journey as well, but I can tell you what I did and what I am doing now. I tried the Andrew Tate style business like drop shipping and basically quit immediately. It wasn't purposeful, it was boring, and it felt like a scam. Not how I wanted to make money. Money is important to me, but I want to make it by helping people, not by selling cheap products. I do have a job which pays pretty well, but this TH-cam thing I hope to grow through my experiences. I like it because I get to share mistakes I have made in order to help others, while always being motivated to go out and try new things. That is what I recommend, but again, I don't really have the credentials yet to give advice. Hope this helped!

I feel this creates a sense of the bigger picture and for us to focus on it, as if we focus on small things the big things will never be done. Or it could be something to look up too like a statue of someone who did great things and for us to aspire to be them. I just feel that these shots can be really inspirational.
