Self-Discipline is Freedom... From Yourself. | Why it's Important. 

Freedom in Thought no problem. Nice video btw.

I love your content

hey what do you think about fascist philosophy (not so much the political one)

Freedom in Thought I get your point, but ignoring most of our main biological behavior is also wrong, I think that sticking to the most natural behavior is the right thing to do, for example a natural human wouldn't find pleasure in watching two people have sex through a computer neither eating junk food, but he also wouldn't find pleasure in many restrictions that are necessary to live the perfect life, in fact, the pursue of the perfect life is what leads people to lose valuable time in something impossible, so don't worry too much about those things man. Greetings from Mexico :)

diego delgado well the thing to ask is" what is a perfect life" then, its more about "what can i do to get there" and wether or not perfection is attainable. Seeking perfection isn't a waste of time if by seeking it you have become better at living. So the fact in fact is if you believe perfection is unattainable. Living a better life is in itself a progress which implies a process which inadvertently connotes imperfection because in order for it to be propelled it needs to have a reason. That reason being unsatisfactory feedback to a current state of being. So why not?

Well said mate and thank u for commenting this

Discipline has no pain, just the decreasing voice of desire.

Pain of regret

true, for me the pain of regret is much more painful

the reward for discipline is nicer though 🤷

It gets hard though because no matter how disciplined you are that doesn't mean your desires will ever get met.

This is the Christian principle of 'denying yourself/your sinful nature' and choosing what is right. It's walking the narrow path

The process of going through suffering and negative experiences is itself a positive experience , and similarly the process of positive experiences (eg short term pleasures) is itself a negative experience in long term .All the best for future

This comment is good! Mind is an excellent slave but a terrible master!

iLoveTurtlesHaha you can do it, & you will! keep pushing bro!

iLoveTurtlesHaha "I do this kind of work because it is fun. In fact I would urge you all to find a means of making money that is fun." -Alan Watts

Doesn't it suck that more people seem to want you to fail than to see you succeed? Most people are too lazy to grow and try to improve and change themselves. So they resort to trying to keep other people from growing so they don't feel left behind. Those people don't matter. Their opinion doesn't matter. I'm considered to be boring by most people around me because I don't like to drink anymore or waste my money on things like eating out so often. But I have many other interests and hobbies that another like minded person will find fun and interesting. Just hoping to meet those kinds of people and stay away from those who don't think about the consequences of the choices that they make today.

Well said im in this dilemma

iLoveTurtlesHaha DO IT! You only experience life once, do whatever your soul tells you to do. Be productive and change your life

You and I are very similar. XD ... Screw those guys, they are simpletons running around giving into cheap thrills.

Read page 73 of Steven Pressfield's book "Turning Pro." You will not regret it..better yet, read the whole book, after "War of Art." And remember, it's lonely at the top, but you're NOT alone. Stay true to yourself, change for nobody ✌

chapachuu You should read/listen to "The book" by Alan Watts.

chapachuu when people criticize dedicated and disciplined people they are just trying to feel better about themselves, because they wish they had the discipline to do things that are worth pursuing.

chapachuu please post a video on how to do this because of all the comments requesting exactly what your saying here.

Same!! But it’s okay, because you know the problem now and you can fix it. It’s never too late. You can start from the first beginning and be the person who you want to be. I believe you and I hope you feel better now! Sending lots of virtual hugs!!

Remember you control your body and mind at the end of the day it’s your choice. You really just gotta embrace the suck. And do the opposite of what your mind tells you to. It just wants to be comfortable and survive

@@bilge7262 Thank youu 🥺, I just felt the need to express this b/c I know I'm not the only one and that perhaps someone who feel the same might feel a little less lonely reading this. For now, I'm working on time management and been trying to get into shape again! :) I really wish you all the best! 💕

@@cello9877 Awww that’s so sweet!! Yes, I know you can do it. I believe in you. Oh and thank YOU 💓

Oopp for me it's the opposite- I really thought on how I can rise from the darkness during the pandemic. but you can do it! If I could change I know Damm well you can. From one human to another I'm telling you have the power within you to become who you wish to become. Lots of 💘

That’s good

Yes and Amen 🙏🏾🙌🏾

That’s right

yeah that would be good :)

will do :)

how you do it is easy .. you get a goal and you start taking small steps .. everyday .. if you fail .. you repeat .. that's how itt works 3..

Guess Who Am I Yea it'll be more accurate, I thought the same

holy shit dude i see you on every rocket league video! I reached champ and decided that it is time for me to quit, precisely because of self-discipline. I take seeing you here in the comments as a sign I made the right choice, seriously. Random af but thanks for commenting.

I think that’s a fair point . Also beeing disciplined in a few area and still keeping space for spontaneous fun can go hand in hand, maybe even better then in a life without order and structure. Another point is that you don’t need to be disciplined or improve on it in every area of your life. Chaos can play it’s role too, as long as YOU can decide how big this role is allowed to become. And that’s where the argument of discipline=freedom comes in handy.

Well said.

Totally agree

I agree with you. Thanks for pointing that out.

agreed, great point

how did it work out for you mate ?

W you got this

Everything in moderation. Balance is key. Nothing wrong with porn but get yourself a meaningful and steady job, a nice long-term partner, invest to become financially free, and take care of your healthy by working out and meditating. Then you'll never have to worry about becoming addicted to anything or anyone again. Stay in your power, be independent, self-reliant, and free = happiness.

wow huge compliment, thank you so much

Tried to build habit of stretching daily for 5 minutes, disciplined myself for 2 months and expected to still do it after, but it didn’t stick Then mediated for 10 minutes daily for 2 months, still don’t feel no different Listened to affirmations for 20 minutes right after waking up for 3 weeks, still feel no difference in mentality Tried practicing gratitude, I actually did notice all the beauty around me but the problem is I didn’t feel it Then tried guided breathing for a while which many others reported amazing results, however for me, as you can expect But don’t take this negativity too much in, I’m just trying to find that one practice that will actually change my mentality, do you have any suggestions?

@@mentiquebakabila4254 that’s perfectly ok. You fall. Make mistakes. They again start from scratch with experience. We are human beings and we need to find perfection in imperfections. I can feel your situation as I have gone through exactly same thing. But it’s ok. Just accept yourself the way you are and try to be 1% better the next day. Never loose hope. ❤️

@@Love-Runs-Blind Thank you! but what do you mean about my "mistakes"? there is no easy way to inner peace?

@@mentiquebakabila4254 I think you're focusing too much on the usual expected routines, rather than listening to what actually suits you. Forget all of that stuff, if it has no meaning to you it will feel manufactured and empty. Just find something that's important to you, that adds value to your life, or even helps you achieve your goals. It could simply be doing the dishes soon after you eat soon so they don't build up, or reading the newspaper in the morning while you eat your breakfast, or going to bed at the same time each night. Good luck.

@@mentiquebakabila4254 it’s not a magic trick to self discipline bro. You can meditate, listen to affirmations, etc all you want, but if you aren’t doing what you need to reach your goals everyday, you won’t feel any better about yourself. At the end of the day we can’t fool ourselves we all know what we gotta do to reach our goals and be successful. It comes down to sacrificing comfort and putting ourselves in uncomfortable situations. Stop looking for the easy road.That’s how you build mental toughness and confidence.

I get the vibes of...Souls series.

Andy R I like Don't Starve. It's extremely time consuming though. You have to play all day and all night to survive a year in game time, after which it gets boring and you might starve in real life instead.

That's you making excuses, trying to justify why you spend so much time playing video games. NOBODY, and I repeat, NOBODY has ever gotten anywhere closer to their life's goals by playing video games. Nobody has gained anything by playing video games. Video games are a tool, like television, for passing the sands of time, because people feel the sands of time are so painful to bear, that they need something to numb them up and pass it through. UNLESS you're a professional esports athlete, or a streamer/youtuber/speedruner. Then you're making money off of the pass-time. So you're in a different ballpark.

I gained quite a bit playing video games. Sure, I also have to put in the real-life practice, but games certainly enhanced it. One example is playing Unreal Tournament 2004, where players would use sniper rifles like it is a close quarter weapon and get awfully good at it. Well, in real life, in my latest Army marksmanship qualification, I shot 39 targets out of 40 (okay they were paper targets, rather than pop up, but still) and scored expert. Another example is playing Don't Starve Together and having that help me better understand how to survive on my own. Bridge building games have helped improve my understanding of mechanics and statics. Racing games helped me become a better cyclist. Games like Skyrim helped me become better at exploring the real world on my own. Then there's the aspect of modding and game design. Surely, many gamers would also have dabbled in some of that. I can say me dabbling in game design has made me a better programmer, and better at project management. Graphics design helped me become better at visualizing in 3D. The Universe sandbox game inspired me to write my own particle simulations using what I know about math and physics. Some terminology appearing in the game / graphics design world also appear in the scientific community, since ideas are often borrowed. Examples include quaternions and bezier curves. Also, don't engineers have to use CAD tools? Wouldn't experience in 3D modeling be helpful in that regard? Ever tried 3D modeling, rigging, sculpting, and texturing (to include normal, bump, and specular map texturing) a dinosaur? I haven't, but there are people who have, as you can look up on RU-vid, and it doesn't look easy. A slacker would not want to deal with all of the complexities and work associated with designing a game, or building a gaming PC. Having experience in building PC's was quite helpful when I worked in IT (TBH, I don't think any of the IT training I got would have been more helpful than my own hands on experience building/upgrading gaming PC's). Another example for what gaming can be helpful is that video cards are now being used to accelerate scientific computations. Just look up CUDA, OpenCL, and Numba. Sure, if all you are is a casual gamer who only plays Peggle, you're probably not going to gain very much out of it, but you can get deep into it and have it become rather rewarding. It doesn't have to directly make you money for it to help you.

what. I'm a programmer because I've started playing video games long ago. I know english cuz of it. I've made dozens friends worldwide, which opened my eyes on who things really are due to video games.

peter peter you are absolutely correct. the statement made about genetic engineering in this video was wrong. You have explained genetic engineering correctly.

peter peter Well, I myself have become suspect of the food industry and FDA. But I feel it's all the sugary foods with no nutrition they've created. So many wondrous stories out there about sickness disappearing when one gives up sugar.

Mary Hill gmo's are fucked. you cannot trust the FDA or the food industry, most high ranking members of the FDA have ties to food companies. GMO are unhealthy, rats fed with gmo's get sick more often, don't grow as much, and die sooner than rats fed with normal food

I'm sure I drank over 100g of sugar today from a bottle of grape juice in morning combined with a cup of soda in the afternoon. Drinks usually have around 50g of sugar, which is about all you should consume each day. Then if you're hungry, there are sugary snacks easily available at 7 11's and vending machines. If you prefer something savory, Ramen Cup noodles are inexpensive, but high in sodium, while most fast food restaurants have meat for food, very few vegetarian options, if any. If you try and get vegetarian, it's a salad or they put guacamole on it which tastes like ass. You have to really put in the effort to find vegetarian food or make them yourself, but that will consume your time, which could be spent getting sleep or working.

Mary Hill, GMO is not about putting sugar (or salt, or fat etc) in the food. GMO is about for example making crops better at resisting pests or for example to not die of sudden draught or flood.

Do a "relaxed self-discipline" ;-) Like "I have to do that, that and that today". Not hour per hour planning.

That is because you separate self discipline from your everyday life. After having had self discipline for a long time you become used to it and realize how helpful it is. For example, I use discipline to meditate everyday and thus it my days are more peaceful. Learn to use your discipline wisely.

poor bear, he just wanted some honey

Joe Belland yeah, really, poor beee he pulls his weener out of the bear and the bee dies

👍

Can you please share some of these verses with me? I know that I need to be more self disciplined, and I can't do it without Jesus.

@@jemimajanvier4706 Proverbs Chapter 20 alone has several. "An inheritance claimed too soon will not be blessed at the end," is a good one. It tells you to hold off on the reward a little while and to wait before claiming it. Takes discipline for that. These verses tell you WHAT to do, but don't tell you how to WANT to do it. I don't know any way to teach someone to want discipline enough to do it. Just got to do it whether you want to or not I suppose.

I'll make a video on it but short answer: pick one thing and do it every day no matter what.

+Engineering Worth Thank you! That would be so appreciated, you have no idea how much you are helping me, I am a terrible student but being a civil engineer is my dream and I will never give up! I will grow and improve my self! Saludos desde Argentina.

learn an instrument. play a little every day without fail.

Read "7 Habits of Highly successful people" - awesome book on learning self-discipline and navigating our negative thoughts!

You're going to find that if you jump in right away with something big, you'll give up. What is working for me is doing something simple. I'm current very inflexible (body wise), so every morning, without fail, I just do some stretches to fix my problem. I've noticed this automatically made me want to do more so after a few days of stretching I started working out and eating healthy. Now 2 weeks later, I am able to concentrate better so I started studying in a more structured environment and gave up facebook and porn.

brokecreole except there is nothing greater than itself. We are made up of the exact same material that created the universe. We are everything. We are just energy that took a human form. Once you realize that, your connection to everything will deepen. Because of the societal system people are very divisive due to beliefs and likes/dislikes and opinions on countless, meaningless subjects. I found that separating myself from those systems (not entirely clearly), but furthering myself from the physical desires, the happier and more whole I become. Meditation, practicing power of will (cutting off what your dependant on), clean eating and being conscious of what your mind takes in will make you a happier person and bring you more in touch with reality. And you'll realize you don't need much at all because you have everything.

Maybe humans have convinced themselves that greatness begins and ends with them. Yet science gives different indicators that humans are most vulnerable in the universe. A tree can live for over thousands of years. Yet humans die when love is absent.

brokecreole Absolutely. Our awareness of self, intelligence, and ability to question the universe is quite amazing, comparative to any species we've known. That's impressive and has the potential to enhance life on earth for all beings. Yet it's currently used to exploit, torture, and kill all things for the benefit of a small percentage of humans because of ego and power and a made up concept of money. Torturing and killing 50 billion sentient beings each year, hundreds of thousands humans killed in war a year, millions of animals and humans enslaved and forced to do free labor. If all bees die the eco system goes to shit. If all humans die, the planet would thrive and life on earth would be drastically improved for all living beings. I would say our importance is illusory or we haven't realized it because we are too distracted by lies of society, government and imaginary dividing lines created by ourselves. But the only way to change things is by changing yourself first. Be the greatness you want humanity to be and spread that positivity.

brokecreole I wouldn't go so far to say we are the most vulnerable. Is Life span your definition of greatness or vulnerability? Everything plays a part for better or worse but in the end does it really matter? I think we make up a meaning for the meaningless existence we all live in. But the fact that we have the capability to analyze in that way is a thing to appreciate while we are here. We die and our energy disperses and is recycled. Everything is energy and energy cannot be created nor destroyed.

happily confused dog I used to be an avid gamer. I am happier now without playing video games. sorry. I tried to defend your stance too for a very, very long time until I actually experienced better situations without playing videogames. you just socialize better, cook better, eat healthier too afterwards. use your skills for something else dude. best of luck.

happily confused dog I agree with your stance. Not to mention he treats extrinsic rewards (money) as having the same value as intrinsic. He basically preaches being self-disciplined from the mundane "societal cages" to achieve even more mundane things. Only people who do not have the ability to think for themselves would take such shallowness at face value. This attempts to convey an idea but really has no base to support it.

Glad to see someone that understand. I will give a dislike on the video just because of that.

happily confused dog You're missing the point. What if you use your whole life playing videogames 24 hours, while your job is stagnating, and you're too lazy to do any streams or practice yourself to be more entertaining? WITH those aforementioned short pleasures, you can get something out of life but if you always give in while you know the benefit is only for pleasure then what will you get? You should analyze first instead of only getting triggered.

R B M The thing you just described there is called addiction, most people that get physically or mentally hurt are addicts, unlike actual gamers who have self control over their hobbies. This is the same thing for knowledge as well, some people will be so obssesed with finding the truth and facts that they will lose what really matters in life and that's living it well.
