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.
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.
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 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
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
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.
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-
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!
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.
"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
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.
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?
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
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
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.
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
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-
Maybe you should do what pro gamers do. Or reach to pro gaming communities for support. Start your gaming portfolio thru streaming or RU-vid videos.@@nickevershedmusic8927
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.
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
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

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!
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.
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.
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.
"No one other than your obese friend" Lmfaoooo man that put a smile on my face. Thank you so much for this video I have been going through a rough time and this helped. Thank you for this video it helped me a lot
To the person watching this video, How many of such videos have you watched till now? Dont you already know what you need to do! I have a solution for you, Avoid information overload. Sit on a chair with no phone or entertainment, if you don't to work. Why am i even writting this comment, when all you lack is implementation not information Anyways, have a great day
This video really relates to me in the last year of college as I don’t really have a clear goal, I just have a bunch of really good ideas and I enjoy them all but nothing really stands out.
I think the video posting tomorrow might help you out! You aren’t alone, goal setting / finding the thing to go after is one of the most requested topics Appreciate you my friend and thanks for watching-
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
One of the oldest traditions in self-improvement circles is to create a list of things men need to do in order to become successful. Exercise! Be Confident! Positive Mentality! Social Skills! Hygiene! Here's something interesting to consider: Who is the intended audience for your list? It's the 18-23 year old demographic. Now, think about this group. Imagine for a moment that we took a generic advice list, such as this video, and read it to an 18-year-old. Exercise! Confidence! Positivity! What would happen? How compliant would they be? Likely not at all. This is because your list lacks emotional engagement. Young adults already have numerous sources of advice: teachers, parents, even the media. They are overwhelmed and paralyzed by it all. For your advice to be effective, it needs to be more appealing than playing video games. Everyone generally knows what they should be doing. So if you are going to write yet another advice list, at least make it engaging. These young people are searching for meaning. Provide that meaning so they have a reason to emotionally invest in self-improvement. Convince them that folding their clothes is important because it's a habit of disciplined individuals like Navy SEALs. Make exercise a spiritual journey. Present social interactions as psychological adventures. It's not difficult; they are young and get excited easily. Ultimately, all speaking is about persuasion, and this is especially true in self-improvement communities. Bullet points are not persuasive. You are speaking to people, not coding a database. Sell your ideas to your audience. Otherwise, you risk communicating ineffectively. Also find your own voice bruh 💀you're not gonna build a brand on the foundations of a Chinese-esque copy of another youtuber.
@@simplereally. Your response represents the average stagnant self-improvement guru wannabe position, where you confuse yourself out of integrating new information. It's evident in your inability to grasp the abstract thesis of the comment and your over-reliance on concretes-i.e. 'I never said anything about exercising, being confident, and so on. This means that this does not apply to me and that this commenter did not watch the video.' You are regurgitating something as banal as goal-setting in the same banal way as everyone else. Your target audience has not been receptive to the countless other times they have been told this in the manner that it has been told, yet you show us that you are consistent with your copycat brand and persona by saying the exact same thing in the exact same manner and failing to realize once it has been pointed out to you.
@@CSGOCOMPILER There's a difference between offering constructive criticism and just being rude! No one has the right to talk about self improvement before they learn the basics on how to respect another human being. Everyone deserves to be treated with dignity. Are you comfortable with the way you're speaking to this person? It seems more like an expression of resentment than helpful feedback. Let the man make the videos he enjoys making, and if you have a problem with it then bring it up respectfully. You are loved ❤

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.
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
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-
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
I've actually made tons of amazing improvements in my life in every aspect relationship, youtube, financially. physically, and mentally, and i cant wait to see how it all. and i hope that i can reach my goals in the near future (i do have clear goals and plans on how to make them happen) this video just made me more motivated and want to work harder i hope that if anyone read this you also find what you want to do most and actually try
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 RU-vid 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 🤣
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.
My dads godfather gave him a piece of advise that was later shared with me that I think does a good job summarizing this clip: You can’t make changes to an empty piece of paper. You can talk about wanting to do this or accomplishing that, but until you’ve taken a step towards trying to accomplish whatever that thing is, you never know what you need to change to get there, because the canvas is empty and you can’t analyze what you’re doing and what’s wrong about what you’re doing to make the proper adjustments to get where you want to go. Getting started is what matters because you’ll make mistakes, but you know what part of the paper needs to be changed.
Beautifully said my friend! Action gives you the feedback to take a better next step. And so on… Appreciate you sharing your insight, I bet it’s helped someone else out there-
I am silently suffering at a 9-5 cubicle job that has me stuck in an unfulfilling routine. I have so many entrepreneurial ideas but I am afraid to quit my "stable" job. The bottom line is that I am afraid to fall. This video reminded me that life is about Falling and getting back up
A quote I love is “lack of resources doesn’t cause you to fail. A lack of resourcefulness causes you to fail” Won’t be easy, but can you find a way to build on the side to make the transition easier? Keep me posted, all the best-
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?
Paying attention to goals and the process by being passionate is all great. Keep up the great work in perspective shift. It is worth noting though, that it is still statistically impossible for everyone to become comfortable. With our current system, if everyone followed this, we would still have the a similar amount of people poor or uncomfortable. The economic structure is something we need to change more directly too, and thinking on an individual scale cannot do that. Individualism, goal setting, and refining yourself is 100% still valuable and great.. but the system is making even that less and less reliable. Stand together. Keep the positive outlook, keep refining yourself, and let’s make a difference for everyone when we can too. ❤
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.
> I want to learn to code. > Too vague. What do you want to code? > Simulations or games. > Goal achieved! > I can't code. > What language do you want to code in? > idk lol...
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?)
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
I love this video, it’s simple and to the point, I enjoyed the animations and the message behind it, it’s also crazy that most people don’t try or convince themselves they will be a failure and then it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy at that point, thumbs up 👍 glad I watched 😊
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!
Wow, after watching your video, I just realized I've been using this framework for years in my code but never thought to apply it to my life! 😅 Thanks for the lightbulb moment, bro. You've definitely earned yourself a new subscriber 🙌
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
