00:00:00
for most of my life I've always thought
00:00:03
that if I would improve myself and that
00:00:06
I would achieve my goals that I would
00:00:09
then reach the point in my life that I
00:00:11
could
00:00:12
finally truly be happy like truly truly
00:00:17
happy where you've reached a point in
00:00:19
your life where you can just sort of
00:00:21
relax and be content with the life that
00:00:25
you're living right and especially
00:00:27
during the phases where I wasn't doing
00:00:29
so well in life i' always tell myself
00:00:32
well this makes perfect sense because um
00:00:36
I'm fat and I'm broke I don't have a job
00:00:39
I do nothing but play video games all
00:00:41
day and live in my parents' basement and
00:00:43
I'm too afraid to talk to girls so that
00:00:45
is the reason why I'm feeling unhappy
00:00:48
right now and so if I fix these problems
00:00:51
if I am no longer fat and I'm no longer
00:00:53
broke and I have a girlfriend and my
00:00:55
problems are fixed and then I'll
00:00:56
actually get to be happy right and there
00:00:59
came a time in my
00:01:01
life where I sort of initially thought
00:01:05
that I was right about this because
00:01:07
there came a time in my life where I
00:01:09
actually did start to radically flip my
00:01:12
life around and I started to improve
00:01:13
myself so I started to lose some weight
00:01:17
I started to bring up the courage to
00:01:19
talk to girls and I got a job so now I
00:01:21
was no longer broke and I felt on top of
00:01:26
the world I felt probably like the best
00:01:29
that I've ever ever felt in Life or like
00:01:31
one of the best feelings that I've ever
00:01:32
felt on life in life I felt confident I
00:01:36
felt happy I woke up with a smile on my
00:01:38
face everything I just felt good
00:01:41
okay and I remember very well that I
00:01:44
would tell myself I tell
00:01:46
myself damn if this is what I'm feeling
00:01:51
right now already then imagine how
00:01:55
happy I am finally allowed to be once
00:01:58
I've actually achieved my girls cuz
00:02:01
right now I still didn't have a
00:02:02
girlfriend right I brought up the
00:02:04
courage to actually talk to girls and
00:02:05
hey I was making progress and I was
00:02:07
developing my social skills but I still
00:02:09
didn't have a girlfriend and yeah I was
00:02:11
making progress losing weight but I was
00:02:13
still a little bit fat and I wasn't at
00:02:15
my G Body yet so I wasn't done with my
00:02:18
goals yet and yet I was feeling
00:02:20
incredibly good about it so I would tell
00:02:22
myself if this is what I'm feeling right
00:02:25
now then imagine how incredible I'm
00:02:28
going to feel when I've actually
00:02:30
achieved all of those things how I'm
00:02:31
going to feel at the end point
00:02:35
right but there came a point in my life
00:02:39
where I had reached this end point this
00:02:42
temporary Endo that I had set for myself
00:02:45
and I sat there in the comfort of my own
00:02:48
home on the couch with the girlfriend
00:02:51
and the body that I wanted to have and I
00:02:53
had a job I mean I wasn't Rich sure I
00:02:55
wanted to have more money but at least I
00:02:57
had a job and I wasn't broke anymore I
00:02:59
wasn't the loser that just played World
00:03:01
of Warcraft all day anymore I sat there
00:03:05
and I realized
00:03:06
that I wasn't feeling that good at all
00:03:10
in fact there came a
00:03:12
point where I didn't really have any
00:03:15
goals to work
00:03:17
towards and I actually felt kind of bad
00:03:21
again I wasn't feeling as bad as I felt
00:03:23
during my lowest lows sure I still felt
00:03:26
better I guess but I wasn't feeling good
00:03:30
I was actually feeling kind of bad
00:03:33
despite the fact that I had achieved so
00:03:35
many of these goals that I wanted to
00:03:38
achieve I felt a lot worse than I did
00:03:41
during that phase where I was improving
00:03:43
myself and I was shedding off the weight
00:03:46
and I was going out and talking to girls
00:03:49
and it was the inner gamer inside of me
00:03:53
that suddenly realized what was going on
00:03:55
because Without Really knowing that it
00:03:58
happened I had already already
00:04:00
experienced this before in the video
00:04:03
games that I played so I've played a lot
00:04:05
of games like World of Warcraft where
00:04:08
you usually have things that you are
00:04:11
working towards right and I noticed
00:04:15
several times throughout my gaming
00:04:18
career that I would always work towards
00:04:22
something so for example you're trying
00:04:24
to get the best gear for your character
00:04:27
and you're having a lot of fun trying to
00:04:29
get the best gear and you always tell
00:04:32
yourself oh man once I have all the best
00:04:36
gear it's going to be so amazing right
00:04:40
well that is when the fun really starts
00:04:43
because then I have the best gear and I
00:04:45
have such an awesome character and oh
00:04:47
man I can't wait until I've reached that
00:04:50
point in the game that is what I'm
00:04:51
working towards that's going to make me
00:04:53
feel so [ __ ]
00:04:56
good but whenever you have all the best
00:05:01
gear you just stand there in the game
00:05:05
you look at your own
00:05:08
character and you realize that you don't
00:05:10
really have much to do in the game
00:05:13
anymore and the whole game kind of just
00:05:16
feels
00:05:17
empty and you miss the times where you
00:05:21
didn't have the best gear yet but you
00:05:23
could still work
00:05:25
towards the best
00:05:27
gear all this time
00:05:30
that you've been telling yourself that
00:05:32
the fun will start by the time that
00:05:36
you've achieved your
00:05:37
goals you failed to
00:05:40
realize that you were having the most
00:05:43
fun all along and now I came to a point
00:05:45
in my life where I realized that the
00:05:49
exact same thing applies to real life
00:05:53
just like how in a video game you have
00:05:57
more fun getting the gear than actually
00:05:59
having the gear in real life you become
00:06:02
a lot happier from working toward your
00:06:05
goals than from actually achieving your
00:06:09
goals I was sitting there on the couch
00:06:13
with my best gear on I had the body that
00:06:16
I dreamt of having I had a girlfriend I
00:06:18
had a job I was no longer broke and I
00:06:21
realized that all this time that I was
00:06:24
working towards this point I was failing
00:06:26
to realize that I was already living the
00:06:30
life that I wanted to live I was already
00:06:32
feeling what I wanted to feel all along
00:06:36
but I was failing to realize it because
00:06:38
I was stuck in this illusion that I had
00:06:40
to achieve this [ __ ] point at some
00:06:42
point in the future you see you don't
00:06:45
suddenly become happy once you have a
00:06:48
specific number in the bank account it
00:06:51
doesn't it doesn't work like that you
00:06:54
don't suddenly go from depressed to
00:06:56
happy the very day that you get get a
00:07:00
girlfriend or that you get a promotion
00:07:02
at
00:07:03
work the real way to become happy is to
00:07:08
see yourself consistently working
00:07:12
towards your goals on a daytoday basis
00:07:16
it's by looking in the mirror and seeing
00:07:18
that you are slowly but steadily losing
00:07:21
weight it's by talking to that girl and
00:07:24
bringing up the courage to ask her out
00:07:27
or bringing up the courage to ask your
00:07:29
boss for a promotion and even if your
00:07:33
boss or that girl say no and reject you
00:07:37
it is the act of consistently working
00:07:41
towards your goals and picking yourself
00:07:43
back up from failure and learning from
00:07:46
failure and rejection that is exactly
00:07:50
how you become happy and build the life
00:07:52
of your dreams the life of your dreams
00:07:54
does not start at the end point but it
00:07:57
starts by what you do on a daytoday
00:08:01
basis and so I guess there are two main
00:08:04
reasons why I wanted to make this video
00:08:06
and the first one is just the fact that
00:08:08
you need to be careful and you need to
00:08:09
make sure that you always have something
00:08:12
in your life that you can kind of work
00:08:14
towards it doesn't have to be big it
00:08:16
doesn't have to be like a business goal
00:08:17
or whatever but you have to have
00:08:20
something in life that inspires you and
00:08:22
that you can aim for or else you're
00:08:24
going to have that same feeling in that
00:08:26
video game where you just stare at your
00:08:27
own character and everything feels empty
00:08:29
again but the second and probably most
00:08:32
important thing that I want you to know
00:08:35
is that all of this means that the life
00:08:38
of your dreams is probably a lot closer
00:08:41
than you think that it is like I said
00:08:44
the life of your dreams does not start
00:08:46
at the end point the life of your dreams
00:08:48
starts when you consistently start
00:08:50
working towards your goals so you could
00:08:54
literally be living the life of your
00:08:57
dreams several weeks or maybe several
00:09:00
days from now if you come up with a
00:09:02
solid plan you figure out what you truly
00:09:04
want in life and what you truly have to
00:09:06
do to work towards these things and you
00:09:08
start to work consistently towards them
00:09:10
you bring up the courage to break your
00:09:12
comfort bubble and you start working
00:09:13
hard consistently towards your
00:09:15
goals you could literally feel the
00:09:19
happiest that you'll ever feel in your
00:09:22
entire life several weeks from now
00:09:27
that's not an exaggeration you could
00:09:28
literally feel the happiest you'll ever
00:09:31
feel in life several weeks from now you
00:09:34
could be living the life of your dreams
00:09:37
in fact a lot of people are living a
00:09:39
pretty damn good life already right now
00:09:41
but just like how the gamers are failing
00:09:44
to realize that they were having the
00:09:46
best gaming time of their life these
00:09:48
people are failing to realize that
00:09:49
they're already living a good life and
00:09:51
they're failing to appreciate the life
00:09:53
that they have because they are stuck in
00:09:55
this mindset where they believe that
00:09:58
they're only supposed to be happy once
00:10:01
they've achieved certain goals in life
00:10:04
they're waiting until they've reached
00:10:06
that certain end point in life where
00:10:09
they have a certain amount of money or
00:10:11
they have a certain body that they're
00:10:14
dreaming
00:10:15
of but the truth is that there is no end
00:10:18
point in life there never is once you've
00:10:21
achieved a goal you're either just going
00:10:24
to feel empty or you'll just have a new
00:10:27
goal to work towards and the only thing
00:10:30
that really really matters is what you
00:10:32
do on a daytoday
00:10:36
basis so do not ever waste these
00:10:41
possibly incredible years of your life
00:10:43
that you're having right now being stuck
00:10:46
in this idea that your life only starts
00:10:49
at a certain point in the future CU you
00:10:52
could literally be living the life of
00:10:55
your
00:10:56
dreams right now
