I identified my best days always have 3 things. 1. a meaningful conversation with someone in my inner circle 2. create something I find beautiful 3. learn something I didn't know before.
Wow, that second one hit hard. Saw a lady smell a flower that was on the table in a restaurant we were at and it blew my mind. To stop and smell the flower while I didn’t even notice them on the tables. Has been over a month and I still think about it
Sounds like a great day to have. I found that for me it's 1. progress in the gym, 2. learning something new 3. progress in business & 4. getting sunshine, drinking 1 gal of water, eating good food.
One of the biggest frustrations in life is when you know all of this, and have thought through it dozens of times, in depth, over years, but still fail to consistently act. Always trying to break through those barriers.
I feel you, I'm in the same boat. I think i'm just now starting to understand how important it is to be aware of what distracts you from your purpose, and not let those thins get to you, no matter what.
Its because its apart of the programming/indoctrination. There's a ton of stuff to be said about this... but lets just try to make it very simple instead of 70,000 words long. We all know or understand trauma right? And the way trauma works? That is sort of the same way people's actions/behaviors work, because of all the beliefs that have been programmed into their minds. 0 - 13 are the most important years of every human beings life. Read the book "What Happened to You" by Dr Bruce Perry & Oprah Winfrey to understand, human beings subconscious minds controls at least 90% but realistically 95% of their actions. In reality, all of the programming to either cripple/silence or stuff away the spiritual side of people is done early on in life, and then as they age more & more distractions, dopamine, more of the false realities to engage in is thrown at them to spend their lifes in hedonism. Why? Because, truly free human beings are dangerous. It was the easiest way... for the people with the most power to handle having a mass abundance of humans living in one civilization, we have 100s of millions of people living in the most developed prosperous nations, and endless in less developed countries suffer so they can benefit since their must be some order & balance in the universe. Balance is everything, the secret to everything, the reason for everything, the explanation for everything. Light cannot exist without darkness. Mindless pleasure without mindless suffering. There's a lot more to be said... there are many more reasons why they want to keep people unfree, weak, closed minded, weak willed... some of the reasons are for purely capitalistic, materialistic surface world agendas and others are just out of human emotions such as fear (of people taking control/power or too many people not wanting to live to be slaves for the people at the top of the hierarchy and finding their own meaning in life) & greed.
I am not sure what it is, but there is something that puts an end to that cycle. One day you just commit. You do something small that leads to the next step and so on. Soon enough, you are doing it for a year already. Something you failed to keep up with for a few days in the past, you are now doing every single day for a fucking year. Find your chains so you can set yourself free by removing them. People pleasing and doom scrolling were some of my chains for example.
@@spinnerboyz I totally hear you. I started meticulously tracking everything with a big habit tracker on my wall, X-ing out each activity daily, and setting daily minimums. Worked great for about a year, then I kinda hit a funk and lost it. Still trying to get back on track.
I’m an African girl. Finding your Chanel has been a blessing to me because you articulate some of the thoughts I’ve had in my mind. Goes to show how similar we all really are. Love your content, you are Awesome! Thanks for sharing
I wrote down lots of quotes but the biggest takeaway for me is that people will default to what others are doing around them for the simple reason that they don't know what else is possible. To break free from this, you need to come up with (or be shown) an alternative way of life which is more in line with your own personal aspirations and values. If you're in this comment section, chances are you don't need help with that part. The next step is to systematize and set process goals for how you will realize that unique vision for your future. Great video Dan, thanks for the perspective.
Seriously I know I have said this before but as a 21-year-old who spent years in hospitals and now almost 4 years of recovery I wasn't to thank you, Dan. Watching your videos gives me so much perspective and fuel to get myself going legitimately independent. I'd love to find a time to communicate with you.
@@holdenludwig_ I would recommend joining his Modern Mastery community. You get to chat with Dan and other cool people there. I'm a member and it's been a great experience
There is so much we need to let go of. So much that takes away from our natural way of being. Our kids grow up barely knowing us parents. We all need to stop denying what our hearts tell us. Let's change society. Let's gather together and bring down the spoiled rotten so-called leaders! Hegelian Dialectic is the spell put on us.
"If it isn't conducive to achieving your purpose, then it isn't important." Made a note of that straight away. Captures so succinctly what I need to focus on, and it is something I will keep repeating to myself and coming back to when I start to drift away from my purpose. Brilliant video, thank you.
I have been binge-watching alot of your videos, and they have been so helpful in clarifying the things I should be doing in my business, on top of all the other philosophical gems you mention. I am so grateful that I have found this channel.
27:35 Really stood out to me because I love learning and watching educational content but I have such a disconnect when it comes to action. I haven't really been able to figure out why, but hearing this part about how focusing on the outcome (gaining the 50 followers a day) can cause mental chaos, hit close to home. This new perspective of seeing the daily win as "Did I put out the content and do the "boring fundamentals" "? is amazing because it removes the friction of the parts you cannot control(getting the likes, shares, followers, replies, etc.) Loved the video Dan, can't wait to see more!
I can’t escape modern enslavement. As Siddharth Kara points out, Congolese Slavery that is perhaps the worst in human history is the basis of our electronic devices.
"Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative and creation, there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favour all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now." ~William Hutchison Murray
Thank you for this, this confirmed that my absolute number 1 goal, or the north star in my life right now, is to become financially independent. I've been following this path already for years, and I've gotten a bit tired of it lately as it takes such a long time to get there, but I really wanna escape my corporate career desperately. I think I've become dedicated to financial independence with an almost religious ambition, comparable to the dedication it takes to become a monk or a nun. The price for this is to let other areas and aspects of life fall short (fun, enjoyment, relationships). But I just wanna escape this bloody rat race so desperately after more than 20 years running in it high speed.
Because you have failed to realise the fundamental flaw in your plan for financial independence. There will never be enough money. You will merely keep getting more and more financial burdens that need maintaining, thus illustrating the old adage 'The things you own end up owning you'. As you make more money, so your standards will rise in accordance.it will never end. You could probably give everything up and live in a tent and have more than enough but you won't. Same as billionaires. How much do you need? You couldn't spend that wealth in ten lifetimes. But yet they keep going. This isn't a criticism, just an observation. If that is your goal, you will always just be on that never ending treadmill.
@@acechadwick No, I'm really not this naive. I've been living as a minimalist for years, I never buy "stuff". I need 2000 USD per month for rent, insurances, food and pleasure. That's enough. As long as my dividends cover this, I'm set.
Kudos foryour dedication, but it would be important to nevertheless find sources of enjoyment (that cost very little or nothing) throughout the way - this is what will keep you happy, motivated and going. Getting books from the library, hiking, running, swimming, learning a new hobby through free youtubevideos, helping others in difficult situations, learning to meal prep frugal, healthy and nutritious meals to be properly fueled- all of these things cost little to nothing but can bring you a lot of joy. Also, consider building a side hustle on a topic you are very passionate about that would allow you to leave your job much faster and work on your own terms.
@@Laura-je2uw Hi Laura, thank you and yes, I'm doing all that, apart from the side hustle, for which I really don't have time and energy. Leaving my job is not too far away, hopefully, and if I can stay on track as planned. All the best to you and thank you for your thoughts!
I haven’t yet watched but the title! 10 years ago I quit my job after issues with management. I tried working from home under various schemes and everyone would laugh and say it’s a pyramid scheme, get a job. Fairs. But then what is an employment structure if not a pyramid scheme. And then what is society itself if not a pyramid scheme. So much illusion crumbled right there for me in that moment 10 years ago. I’ve said it ever since. Society is a pyramid scheme! This is the first time I’ve seen it written.
I think balance is really important too, a lot of people never accept responsibility because it seems like we have to be a certain way all the time but I think slowly evolving into your best form is the most natural and effective for long term change
Slow is smooth, smooth is fast, may be a true statement for lots of things in life. But I think when it comes to human nature, most people are just not willing to work very hard for anything. So “taking your time”, however that may be true in some cases, it really comes down to how hard you are willing to work. For how long can you sustain that? And if you’re not asking the right questions, and your cap on how hard you’re willing to work is not very high as it is, then your chances of succeeding in anything is already almost zero. No matter how long this person slowly progresses, they will not achieve any real difference by the time they die. You gotta find a way to go all in, and mean it to the core, consequences be damned. Your either in or your out. Developing this kind of mentality, and holding yourself to an extreme level of responsibility and discipline, this is how you can actually get somewhere with anything. In my experience at the very least.
so glad I stumbled across your channel right as im prbably as lost as ive ever been in my life. Long story short I worked for my father in his metalworks company throughout covid, got really mentally drained by the entire situation and almost ruined the relationship with my father, so I decided to leave everything behind from one day to the other, moved countries to a circle of friends who now are my family. Being responsible for my very own life for the first time in my life as a 27 y old has been nothing but terrifying and hard.. I now realize what I left behind and am much more appreciative of what I had in the past, but I cannot rly go back since my father and I are just functioning better when we dont see each other day to day. I am now the director of my own story but am just lost at how I will make it. Your videos are giving me one hell of a stepping stone to get things right, drop out of school I dont even want to do, get a "necessity" job and then start building towards my dreams and ambitions. I feel like it the beginning of something big but right now I am terribly scared because I feel like I might have bitten off a little more than I can chew. Good luck to everyone out there, may your wishes come true!
You're doing solid work. Being scared is evidence you are living your life and not hiding in someone else's shadow. Trust yourself, work hard, don't fall prey to addiction. You'll do fine.
Sounds like you may have learnt a strong work ethic from your Dad. Harness that energy and point it in your chosen direction. Having said that, I started my own business at your age, struggled, persisted and prospered. My biggest achievement in life was meeting my wife and having two kids. I was determined to not expose my kids to the negative aspects of my childhood. Peace and love from Australia ✌🏼🇦🇺🌏
Wow… I was about to give you some sound advice, but reading the comments above speaks for itself. And the simple fact that you have “Self Awareness” already shows your ahead of the game & most certainly will figure it out. Good luck on your journey friend…. YOU’VE GOT THIS! 💙 science/conscience 😉
Working with family is very difficult with all family's, our parents do the best with what they know. It sounds like your dad loves you very much & has given you the space to your own freedom. I hope your doing well & good luck🤗
I'm always extremely sceptical to these kinds of videos, self improvement in general, but you have been very inspiring. You are more clear on how to progress in life, while other people often don't know what they are talking about since their success was a very concrete thing. They are telling you to quit certain things to save up a few bucks a month, but they brag about how much they spend on cars, partying, women etc. They got random success from some unethical business and they try to make it seem like that cola you shouldn't buy makes all the difference. Success is literally just accomplishing goals. Find a problem in your life, and instead of complaining about it, find the solution and make that your purpose/goal. A successfull person does not neccessarily own a million dollars. It's not about money. It's about happiness and purpose.
Thank you 🙌 I'm so sick of these dudebros who define success as pure materialism. If I wanted to shill an unethical business to a bunch of naive people to get rich quick I would. But my spiritual standards are much higher than that. If you only define success in terms of gEtTiNg RiCh you are bound to participate in the corrupt illuminati social pyramid scheme that is designed to reward predatory and deceptive people. True success (ie alignment with your spiritual purpose whilst also surviving) is a lot harder than getting rich
Dan, I just finished watching and I have to say… You have a wonderful mind and soul ❤ My favorite part was every minute of it. Wow. Thank you for bringing such amazing value to the world. As I said, I have been marinating for too long. I know what I want, I know how to do it, but I’ve been so conflicted with myself and I really couldn’t figure out why and it’s absolutely a lack of clarity. Thank you!
This content is gold !! For someone who has done a lot of reading and self reflection, this is just the truth I have finally started to realise ! Thanks for this content.
Thank you, for helping people like me, trying to break free from the painful mental enslavement of our insane confusing modern society. That is blindly destroying our humanity and the gifts of the natural world, on our life-giving planet Earth.
Dan, I can certainly commend you on the level of depth in your content. You have an introspective approach on just us humans just merely living and being sentient but also maximizing our potential using our surroundings/knowledge. I find myself coming to your videos near the end of the day when I want to put everything together and really update my biological software. Appreciate the hard work man.
I think it's very important to remember that any icon, teacher, mentor, guru or any kind of purveyor of knowledge and wisdom it's still a human being filled with flaws and fears and doubts and ego. One person that I think got me very interested in self-reflection in the exploration of consciousness would be Alan Watts and when you listen to him speak it sounds like he has it all together it sounds like he gets it, but if you look at his life you see a lot of inconsistencies that could invalidate what hes saying. I mean he had multiple unsuccessful marriages, was known to be an alcoholic and was categorized as so by his own children, and while his words of wisdom are so valuable I think even he and especially he would remind us that nothing that he is saying is something we can't figure out on our own that we don't need him or any other guru to teach us. Sometimes that guidance can be helpful especially if you are new to some of these concepts but the true understanding of those concepts is something that cannot be taught it has to be earned through your own understanding. I reference back to an amazing book by Hermann Hesse called Sidhartha where he examines the life essentially the Buddha but along his journey is informed of a great teacher who is called the Buddha by a friend of his and he journeys to hear him speak. He listens to the Buddha and he agrees with everything the Buddha is saying and after he is done speaking he approaches him to talk. He tells him that he agrees with everything he has heard and he believes that Buddha is truly enlightened, but the Buddha has nothing to teach him and to this the Buddha is intrigued and asked him to explain. He says that in words he cannot be taught what it is like to experience and lightning that's the way the Buddha did under the bodhi tree, in words there is no way of explaining how to find that understanding of the universe of life, the only way he can do that is to go out and try to find it for himself to which the Buddha smiles and tells him to go do so. The first thing he does is he breaks from his ascetic monk lifestyle and finds a woman to teach him the art of making love. After that t picks up a trade and becomes a businessmanfor many years and lives the life a businessman would full of money and success and friends and family until one day he wakes up and realizes that he has learned everything he can from that lifestyle and decides to search for something new. In that search he comes to a river and they blind ferryman and without words the ferryman teaches him how to sit and listen to The River and the world around him. After many years of just listening and being and reflecting that is when he finds it and what's so fascinating is as I read what it is he finds I know I have not found it because in reading his story I am not instructed on how to find it only in the knowledge that I must do so on my own in my own. If you realize that when you stop putting these figures on pedestals realize that they are not more special than you will have access to something you don't that everything they have you can find inside yourself if you want to. Learn the lessons read the books watch the videos but in the end the real work is when you're alone in your own head working through your own realizations
There is an even deeper enlightenment though. The enlightened practice of not writing everything in one long paragraph. This gives rise to greater capacity for teaching as it's actually possible to read text without losing our sanity.
@@cyberneticbutterfly8506 ok fair enough point I suppose. I was just using voice command to comment while I was getting ready for my day so grammar was not high on the priority list.
@@cyberneticbutterfly8506 Thank you for the thoughts and the short summary of the book. I have been wanting to get it but would need to use amazon as its not available in my own language.
My goal is financial freedom but also creative freedom. Even though my job is relatively easy, it feels restricted and inauthentic. I’m so tired of corporate culture. We’re taught to be zombies following nonsensical rules. I want to make my own rules. I want to help people. I want authenticity.
Dan, you have been my inspiration to create my RU-vid Channel and begin using my voice to help others. Looking forward to your Digital Economics Bachelors course.
Thank you. My biggest stumbling block is that I really don't know how to play this game. This channel is like finding a cheat code that then allows you to actually understand and play better Edit: I have major social anxiety, the more I examin myself the more I realize that this is the problem , playing a game that everyone seems to know the rules to except me.
"There isn't just one purpose in life, there are lesser and greater purposes. You have to achieve one purpose in odder to unlock the next." "A purpose is a goal and a goal introduced a problem, and so my purpose is the most pressing problem in my life right now" Which if for me is sleeping because is to warm and there is no was of turning it down because i am on the 4th floor and the boilers underneath me, and mine, all create so much heat that humidity is unhealthy. What I've quoted from what you've said Dan for me is game changing. Just wow bro. Actually think of getting this tattoo on my body somewhere, like my bicep. Thank you dude, I much a appreciate you, your doing gods work in my eyes right here
Amazing content as always Dan, I always liked to share my thoughts with family and friends and help them with their problems, I like to do research on a lot of different topics, so in my circles I'm always the go-to for information and advice. Obviously I don't expect to be always right, but hey hopefully I can help most of the time. Thanks again for the amazing content, thanks to you and other cool figures that I look up to online, I decided to become a creator myself. My main hope with the channel is to create a community of interesting people, and actually make connections irl if possible, I will of course consider monetary gain, I would be a fool not to, but that will be a "lesser purpose" :) Thanks again, best wishes in life.
Dan, thank you for the effort putting out this very helpful content. In time of need, you have helped me realise a new level of clarity necessary for my future development. Through your pragmatic approach for evaluating one’s most pressing problems, my eyes are wide open; focussed on what issues need to be prioritised and where my attention needs to be [not to mention the steps required to get to the next stage to make effective change]. I can’t thank you enough.
I got away from enslavement at 34, hard work good investments took a ten year plan and did it I pull in 4K a month of passive income from rental properties. And no I didn’t use credit and I never made over 35 k a year it was buying cheap land and putting in a lot of physical and mental work into them flippin some and holding some but now I’m in Florida on a beach and getting money wired right to my account ❤ it’s possible you jus have to be a badass
Excellent video with a lot of pertinent information regarding your immediate purpose. And he provides a smart description of what your purpose should be.This is one of the freshest perspectives I've heard in a long time. Thank you Dan for this timely video and overall great content on a regular basis.
In the beginning when you talked about following the process of your thoughts/emotions the connections related to it and reminded me of a book that my wife and I recently started reading together. Really recommend it: “How Not to Be Wrong: The Power of Mathematical Thinking”
@@trippybruh1592 Seriously! It shows a unique perspective on the utility of mathematical thinking in everyday life. Most people dislike math, I and the author propose, due to omitting this perspective in standardized math education.
All I want is a plot of land and some good friends. I’ll admit that I’m spoiled by technology and comfortable living. But I’d seriously give that up and work my ass off on building a sustainable community. I like working hard for those reasons. I resent having to work hard for a boss at a corporate job. For-profit corporations are anti-human.
The clarity of your content is unbelievable, I appreciate it a lot Dan. It's so helpful, because when you read books such as Mastery, The Power of Now, etc. you tend to forget the key insights after a while. But your videos bring useful insights together in an effective way that makes action easier. Thank you for giving us access to them 👍
I got a lot from Jim Rohn. One of his quotes was. '' If you decide to let someone else design your life, what do you think they have planned for you? Not much ''. Get a job is only a bandaid to a much bigger problem.
Wow. Thank you Dan! You’ve literally encapsulated everything I’ve been thinking and feeling for the last few years. I get a sense of depth and real insight from listening to you. Tysm. 🙏🏼✨
Grazieeeeeee! Fantastic!!! 😍❤🙏 After reading so many books on finding purpose THIS is the best piece of advise and point of view I've ever stumbled upon! Thank you for taking the time to share this video 🙏 I send you lots of energy ✨✨✨
Funny I find you at a pivotal point in my life: endeavoring in my journey on life, and goals, consciously, as it pertains to work and other categories. Intellectually, I’ve accomplished a lot, but nothing with passion. I’m 53, disabled, and hoping that life will not pass me by. Thank you, for everything that you are doing: contributing to science and art. It really is appreciated from the bottom of my heart and mind. Oh, and I’m an atheist. ✌️
Hi friend, could you please help me assist my sister she’s disabled(scolioses) and epileptic and I may lack the full Understanding of what she goes through on a daily basis but I want her to be comfortable with who she is and understand that she can achieve anything she puts her mind to. Words have failed to motivate her please help me assist her if possible ❤ much love
@@mirageisme2665 I am disabled myself, so I cannot help you. Try group meetings for caregivers, or your local hospital for referrals to various group meetings.
Came to the conclusion attention was our most valuable commodity about two years ago. You’re the only one I’ve come across speaking about it! I had the thought after reading many books on different topics.
I already read your newsletter, and it was one of my favorites. As soon as I saw you posted the video version, I couldn't help but to watch/listen to it to consolidate what I read. Excellent content as usual! Thank you for the clarity and inspiration. Love your style!
Very insightful and resonates. Watched this in the stillness of the night, and not a dull second of those 40 mins. Dan is my favorite LinkedIn content creator. 👍🏼
We have been talking about this since the 60s. Finally awakening is happening on a mass level. Awakening is the beginning, but then the hard part of embodiment is the yoga.
I am compltely 100% behind this and am very creative, I am doing a job I love=teaching children art, which is amazing, but the reality is conditions in schools must change as well as for students and tor teachers, and also making an impact is very important on the new generation so important, we must strive for balance but not settleling for less than what we are!
My introduction to Dan Koe and I am impressed. I'm a big advocate of Napoleon Hill's Principles of Success and this video helped me fine tune my understanding. Especially of the most important principle which has to do with Definiteness of Purpose.
Favorite part about this video has to be that you people like you exist. It is refreshing to know that there other people pushing to get the most out of this life. Digging the content super valuable and digestible information. Thanks!
I am very amazed by all you said, so good to watch great content coming from a person that is self aware and can help out others, it inspired me to get on my youtube channel, it has been hard to me to choose something I really can add to the world but with something that comes from my heart. Thank you for all the tips, I am trying but now and each day closer to my best version of myself. Cheers from Brazil.
btw, it toke me less than 5 min to subscribe to your channel, I guess the right people and information comes at the right time along our journeys in life.
Life is monopoly, everyone takes the pieces of out of the box but in the end all of the pieces have to go back into the box until the next players take out the pieces again. Love mr.watts, I listen everyday ♥️✨
Very insightful. Getting moving is an issue for many. I go to the gym. There are days that I think, I will take a break, Knowing if I do this, the breaks come far to often. At one gym, there was a blind man there, with his dog. The trainer would help him on the treadmill, while his dog laid in front of the treadmill. He would also run the isle with the trainer guiding him. I have seen people with leg braces on, getting on the treadmill. Other "disabilities" that did not stop some from going to the gym. When I get that lazy day in mind, I think of the people that cant do what I am procrastinating about and do it.
Once again, another awesome video from you Dan. You are truly brilliant, and I love that you mix philosophy, spirituality, and entrepreneurship together to form a tangible understanding of the modern world. Truly spectacular video :)
This really is a complete plan to take back control of our lives. You've outdone yourself once again!! I'm forever grateful for everything you do for us!!!
Dan, I recently discovered your channel but the things you say and teach resonate with my beliefs 100%. I am a gaming content creator for a very niche 8 years old game called Endless Legend (EL). For the longest time I convinced myself that I wouldn't be able to make money sharing EL content, but to be honest I think I was just running away from doing the work required to grow my audience. Finally in 2022 I took the plunge and started streaming and making RU-vid videos and have been having a blast doing it even though my audience, the EL community, is small. The work I do feels meaningful because I receive lots of positive feedback from my community about how much they enjoyed my content or how my content helped them. As long as even 1 person finds enjoyment from my content, or even better, 1 new player decides to join our multiplayer games because of my content, I will continue to make more. Thank you for sharing valuable wisdom and improving people's lives!
I only found your videos this morning and it feels as if you are talking to yourself before the success. I work on myself everyday alan watts when i was younger was the one who opened up my eyes on the world. Thank you for doing this because it really resonates with me. Bet you are the guy who listesn to some kevin kelly and jason silva shots of awe as well.
I have been watching your videos lately, and I have to say its one of a kind on youtube. The content of your videos start with a sort of philosophy and find their way to the purpose of the video. Can't wait to see this type of content being appreciated more!
Why is everybody so biased against corporations? "Like climbing the corporate ladder because they don't have clarity on anything". No.. I've climbed the corporate ladder for the last 17 years and I am very happy with my work/life balance. I have clarity on all that is possible out there, I have even experienced most of it. Some of the most exceptional people I have met have been in the corporate world. Nobody says you have to keep climbing. You can reach a certain level, decide to stop and just enjoy life as a whole. Which is what I did 7 years ago. Also you can make a nice sum of money and still decide to live in a minimalistic, non status chasing way. Put the money into your kids and family.
Funny you mentioned Holism. I’m about to start reading Jan Smuts 1927 thesis on Holism upon which many of these ideas are based from my understanding. I love these little ethereal moments/ coincidences in life. I appreciate that in your videos you also give actionable advice derived from these philosophies.
Great video! This is a wealth of knowledge and information! Here's a very very simplified summary of this video and the newsletter, but I highly suggest everyone watch through the whole video and read through the whole newsletter. I did. It's really good. Summary: Modern Society enslaves us. Have a purpose. (Your purpose is the most pressing problem in your life right now.) Ask yourself the following questions: What do I really want out of life? What is important to me? What is the highest version of myself? What does my ideal day look like? What do I have to accomplish in order to get there? Does that solve a problem in the world, and what product or service aligns with both? What is the next phase of my purpose? Have a process to achieve goals & overall purpose. It could involve mastery of something. Prioritize and make decisions that align with your purpose. Have multi-perspective and don’t view problems as problems. Be conscious of everything. Challenges will help you grow and push you towards your purpose. This will not come easy. Figuring this all out is a process. Self-reflection over time with help.
This video is so helpful to me in terms of clarity and helping me to simplify or articulate something I understood but it was nebulous in my mind. Thank you!
Thank you for this video..I always try to take on too much at the same time and become overwhelmed, lose focus and feel stuck. This is such a nice breakdown on what to do and how to get unstuck ❤ I deeply appreciate your video and will definitely subscribe
This is what I understand: 1) 16:10 The Focus Formula creates a Holon (our purpose), 2) a Holon (our purpose) resides within a Domain, 3) a domain is our mind, & 4) Holons that are purposes can only number a certain few in our mind because our mind couldn’t handle so many.
Expanding on 'existence is relationships' we gain the opportunity to remove the individual altogether. What remains are circumstances and situations - which are quite obviously not you. So naturally this begs the question, what are you? You are the process. The verb. The energy. The action. Not the thing. Not the noun.
Very deep intellectual content. I took amazing notes . My goal is creating a new matrix for my culture you just helped me 10x my GAMEPLAN . Thanks Dan !
I receive more validation helping others than I do helping myself. At one point I had a vision of traveling the world with a camera, but I don't care enough to pursue that anymore. Definitely lost a lot of faith in this world. For some of us freedom and the fantasy of freedom take parallel strides. This is definitely great advice for younger people however. Teens and early 20-somethings in particular.
Thats just an excuse though. It is easier to give up and settle for something less than what you truly want and blame it on something else. It might be harder due to you having more responsibilties then the younger people but it still might be doable. No matter the age you can always change if you really want to
A totally creepy notion but every cell in my body says you are speaking the truth. As far as Alan Watts and Ken Wilbur. These guys are human and it amazes me that people expect more of them. Leaders ...of thought or any other thing are humans first. Maybe their human "failings" was a desire to get out from under the pressures of others to be a perfect leader? Or simply witnessing societies pain and floundering in growth. Society...bless our hearts.. We are unbrainwashing ourselves from so so many untruths.. Not easy nor pretty. But you know...no one soul can live my life for me....and some days that's a hard thing to say....admit....own. But ahhhhhh..... the freedom that can be attained. Dan, I just "discovered" your channel a few days ago. I think the Universe had a hand in that. You are a wise man...thank you for sharing the wisdom.
I've been watching your videos every day for the past couple weeks now. You have great straightforward content. I do similar type of videos, I was watching Dan Lok videos and you popped up
I guess I will sign up for the modern mastery for community and oh just everything. you are such a breath of fresh air!!! thanks for showing up. brilliant approach. new sub. :)
My personal Method is aROUND PURPOSE too… everything focuses IN on… expands OUT and moves around the cycle… recently found your channel… excellent content!
My biggest distraction from my studies is that I get ready daily for my university. I wear good clothes, I prepare them in the night, my bag , I think in my mind how I would look the whole time in there. Then I have to spend time making pictures. On the other hand , none of my class fellows comes dressed up like me daily. Now I feel a bit wayward. I am going to look normal, very normal again not buying any attention. As it has costed me my time time, my future, I have been wasting time just making myself look good and it has paid me nothing. Thia is how my friend also thinks that I am just a mad and fooliard and just a time waster and this is how she has never helped me not only with my studies but also these distractions. Lucky are the ones who have heartiest best friends.
You're making some interesting points here. There's a Central thing that needs to be clarified. Not everything in life is a problem to be solved. We go through tragedies as human beings and these experiences shape the way we see the world. Dealing With the death of one of our parents, for example, it's a tragedy and not problem that can be solved and then "life goes back to it's path". I get your view, this is just quick reminder about deeply conditioned we all are about the productive mindset and the bourgeois view of life. Not everything is problem to be solved and that's ok. That's what creates art and love. All the besy
Bro… thank you!!!! Yes… I can’t stand when people are like oh “they” set it up… “they” want you to be poor “they” they they Who the crap are they? It’s not a team of elites like making people join the rat race. You are the first person I’ve heard explain this in a way that makes sense and that I’ve already formulated in my head but just couldn’t say it. Man I freaking love your stuff. I’ve tried for 7 years to make a living online and I feel deep down I’m missing a key piece of something that is holding me back. Your content I feel has something that I can use to let me break through the barrier of $500-$1000 per month online. Cause that is where I have peaked at for 3-4 years.
