    I'm going to explain to you why you
  • 00:00:01
    haven't become the person that you
  • 00:00:04
    strive to be it's for three main reasons
  • 00:00:06
    the first being you lack confidence and
  • 00:00:09
    that you can actually change the second
  • 00:00:11
    being that you lack belief and that
  • 00:00:13
    you're actually strong enough to
  • 00:00:15
    withstand the struggle and the third is
  • 00:00:17
    your environment so to start with the
  • 00:00:20
    first you lack
  • 00:00:22
    confidence that stems from a few
  • 00:00:24
    different things the main thing being
  • 00:00:26
    that as time goes on as we grow older as
  • 00:00:30
    we age we're continuously being
  • 00:00:33
    programmed to an extent by
  • 00:00:36
    society and if we have no backbone if we
  • 00:00:40
    have
  • 00:00:41
    no courage
  • 00:00:44
    to say otherwise or say you guys go that
  • 00:00:47
    way I'm going to go this way we kind of
  • 00:00:51
    with time just reflect those around us
  • 00:00:55
    and assuming that you want to do
  • 00:00:58
    something great you want to do something
  • 00:00:59
    ambitious you want to do something
  • 00:01:02
    bold not everyone's doing that most
  • 00:01:04
    people aren't most
  • 00:01:07
    people choose the comfortable route most
  • 00:01:10
    people choose the familiar
  • 00:01:13
    route I'm assuming that's not what
  • 00:01:15
    you're after and in order to develop the
  • 00:01:19
    habits the thought patterns the
  • 00:01:23
    subconscious Behavior to set ourselves
  • 00:01:26
    up and give
  • 00:01:27
    ourselves a proper Foundation to go
  • 00:01:30
    ahead and pursue such a path and develop
  • 00:01:33
    things like strong confidence and firm
  • 00:01:37
    belief and that we can transform who we
  • 00:01:40
    are we can achieve the things that we
  • 00:01:43
    want to do we are capable of Paving the
  • 00:01:47
    way we really need
  • 00:01:49
    to prioritize what we're inputting
  • 00:01:53
    through our eyes through our ears
  • 00:01:55
    because it's all really important it all
  • 00:01:57
    adds up we might not conscious ly be you
  • 00:02:01
    know taking note of it but it matters
  • 00:02:04
    our subconscious picks up on everything
  • 00:02:07
    whether you know it or not if you don't
  • 00:02:09
    know it now you'll know it eventually
  • 00:02:11
    and it's better to recognize it now than
  • 00:02:13
    later because then it might be too late
  • 00:02:16
    or maybe not necessarily too late
  • 00:02:19
    but these things just become harder to
  • 00:02:22
    reverse with
  • 00:02:24
    time the deeper the seed is planted and
  • 00:02:26
    the more time it has to sprout and grow
  • 00:02:28
    its roots
  • 00:02:30
    the harder it is to to get rid of it and
  • 00:02:32
    the way that we can do that the way that
  • 00:02:34
    we can control what we're inputting into
  • 00:02:38
    our subconscious
  • 00:02:40
    mind is through uh isolation to an
  • 00:02:43
    extent now I don't mean lock yourself in
  • 00:02:46
    your room and don't talk to anybody
  • 00:02:48
    that's
  • 00:02:49
    unhealthy but I do mean that look if you
  • 00:02:52
    have a group of friends
  • 00:02:55
    who talk about
  • 00:02:57
    nonsense all day and they hang out they
  • 00:02:59
    don't do things that align with your
  • 00:03:01
    priorities maybe they have bad habits
  • 00:03:04
    unhealthy ways of
  • 00:03:05
    thinking um or even family or just
  • 00:03:10
    people in general you have to distance
  • 00:03:11
    yourself from these people now I
  • 00:03:14
    understand that there are certain
  • 00:03:15
    situations where it's a little tricky
  • 00:03:17
    maybe your parents aren't supportive of
  • 00:03:19
    what you do and that's a little bit more
  • 00:03:21
    meticulous to navigate but um there is a
  • 00:03:25
    way there is always a way what I used to
  • 00:03:28
    do because I was in a pretty rough
  • 00:03:30
    environment for a considerable amount of
  • 00:03:33
    time and I couldn't change it cuz I was
  • 00:03:34
    too young I put on my headphones and I
  • 00:03:37
    watched every motivational video I could
  • 00:03:39
    find on YouTube I listened to music that
  • 00:03:42
    was um like high energy High vibration
  • 00:03:45
    it gave me um it made me excited it
  • 00:03:48
    helped me visualize and imagine an ideal
  • 00:03:51
    future and I became almost obsessed with
  • 00:03:54
    this
  • 00:03:55
    visualization to the point where it
  • 00:03:58
    didn't really matter was happening in
  • 00:04:01
    front of my
  • 00:04:03
    eyes because the vision that I had in my
  • 00:04:06
    head was so strong I was so invested I
  • 00:04:09
    was so immersed in it this this future
  • 00:04:14
    reality that I was creating for myself
  • 00:04:16
    the motivation it gave me the excitement
  • 00:04:18
    it gave me the drive that it gave me
  • 00:04:22
    outweighed everything else meditation is
  • 00:04:25
    also a very good method that you can
  • 00:04:28
    utilize again the type of music you
  • 00:04:30
    listen to the type of content that you
  • 00:04:32
    consume it's all very very important and
  • 00:04:35
    the more that you can control that and
  • 00:04:37
    the more you pay attention to
  • 00:04:40
    it the easier it's going to be to
  • 00:04:42
    develop things like confidence in
  • 00:04:43
    yourself so that again you can really
  • 00:04:47
    have a strong Foundation to stand on
  • 00:04:50
    when it when when you do finally make
  • 00:04:52
    the decision to fully commit to to this
  • 00:04:55
    path the second reason is that you don't
  • 00:04:59
    believe that who are actually strong
  • 00:05:01
    enough to withstand the struggle you
  • 00:05:04
    know I I see it so many times
  • 00:05:07
    where people say they're going to commit
  • 00:05:09
    they say they're going to lock in and
  • 00:05:12
    then they you know they make efforts
  • 00:05:14
    couple weeks a month and then they face
  • 00:05:17
    a barrier whether it be physical or
  • 00:05:19
    mental and I think it's daunting to an
  • 00:05:23
    extent because the thought of man I
  • 00:05:26
    don't know I don't know if I can really
  • 00:05:28
    put up with this time and time again I
  • 00:05:30
    don't know how long I'll be able to
  • 00:05:33
    withstand struggle like this because
  • 00:05:36
    that's real you know when you hit a
  • 00:05:38
    roadblock a strong
  • 00:05:41
    roadblock and maybe you get into a rut
  • 00:05:44
    maybe
  • 00:05:46
    you something unlucky happens
  • 00:05:49
    maybe um you miscalculated something or
  • 00:05:54
    I don't know things happen right like as
  • 00:05:56
    you go throughout whatever your thing is
  • 00:05:59
    that you're pursuing things come
  • 00:06:01
    up
  • 00:06:03
    roadblocks pop up you face
  • 00:06:06
    adversity there's endless challenges you
  • 00:06:10
    face failure you hit dead ends we know
  • 00:06:13
    this but it's one thing to think about
  • 00:06:16
    these things and and take note of it
  • 00:06:17
    mentally and then actually stand face to
  • 00:06:20
    face with
  • 00:06:21
    the with adversity and I think the
  • 00:06:24
    thought
  • 00:06:26
    of I don't know when I'm going to win
  • 00:06:29
    I'm might have to do this for the next 2
  • 00:06:32
    3 years before I see any success I don't
  • 00:06:35
    know if I can endure the struggle that
  • 00:06:38
    long I don't know if it's worth it maybe
  • 00:06:43
    I don't win in the end maybe I end up
  • 00:06:46
    just putting myself
  • 00:06:48
    through pain and struggle and confusion
  • 00:06:51
    and doubt
  • 00:06:53
    and whatever else for x amount of time
  • 00:06:57
    and I get nothing out of it in the end
  • 00:06:58
    so
  • 00:07:00
    you know what maybe maybe I will just go
  • 00:07:02
    the comfortable
  • 00:07:04
    route you're losing belief in
  • 00:07:07
    yourself and if you don't believe in
  • 00:07:09
    yourself you really have nothing there
  • 00:07:11
    you have nothing to stand on that's why
  • 00:07:13
    the first reason that I mentioned is so
  • 00:07:16
    important but the reality is you are
  • 00:07:18
    strong
  • 00:07:19
    enough because you are God's creation
  • 00:07:23
    Now I'm not I haven't believed in God my
  • 00:07:26
    whole life I'm not a super
  • 00:07:30
    religious person
  • 00:07:33
    um I would be lying if I said that I was
  • 00:07:38
    always loyal to God there was a point in
  • 00:07:40
    my life where I really did not like the
  • 00:07:42
    idea of God given my past and I'm I
  • 00:07:47
    regret to admit that but it's the
  • 00:07:49
    truth so I'm not saying this from like a
  • 00:07:52
    religious high horse or
  • 00:07:56
    whatever but it's true you must
  • 00:07:59
    recognize that you have a Creator and
  • 00:08:02
    the reason that is so significant is
  • 00:08:05
    because if you were created in God's
  • 00:08:08
    image that means you are you're put here
  • 00:08:11
    for a
  • 00:08:12
    purpose you are put here to fulfill
  • 00:08:15
    something so if you know that you have a
  • 00:08:18
    purpose whether you know what that is
  • 00:08:19
    yet or not why would he create you to be
  • 00:08:23
    incapable of fulfilling
  • 00:08:26
    it it just doesn't really make sense
  • 00:08:28
    when you think about it so you are
  • 00:08:30
    strong enough you have all the tools you
  • 00:08:34
    have the endurance you have the
  • 00:08:38
    strength but if you listen to the devil
  • 00:08:41
    if you listen to evil the opposing
  • 00:08:43
    forces in this world that try and stray
  • 00:08:45
    you away from that
  • 00:08:47
    path that's how evil works it it
  • 00:08:50
    deceives and manipulates you to to to
  • 00:08:52
    lose uh faith it it it lies to you um it
  • 00:08:59
    tells you
  • 00:09:01
    that it does everything in its power to
  • 00:09:04
    strip you of your
  • 00:09:06
    belief confidence in
  • 00:09:09
    yourself belief in that you will
  • 00:09:13
    win it tries to Blind you from your own
  • 00:09:16
    strength so I
  • 00:09:19
    think at moments when you feel
  • 00:09:22
    weak when you begin to lose that that
  • 00:09:27
    faith that belief in that you are
  • 00:09:31
    capable it's important to remember your
  • 00:09:33
    origin where you come from you were
  • 00:09:36
    created by
  • 00:09:38
    God you know what does that that's a
  • 00:09:42
    think about that you were created by
  • 00:09:47
    God that's a pretty
  • 00:09:49
    significant powerful thing with that
  • 00:09:52
    there's nothing in this world that you
  • 00:09:54
    cannot
  • 00:09:56
    do recognize that power
  • 00:10:00
    and become close to it the third reason
  • 00:10:03
    is your environment now I understand
  • 00:10:05
    that there are certain cases where you
  • 00:10:07
    simply cannot affect your environment
  • 00:10:10
    right you can't affect where you
  • 00:10:11
    live whether it's because it's of age or
  • 00:10:16
    Finance it's sometimes there just
  • 00:10:18
    something you have no say in now in that
  • 00:10:21
    case again visualization what I
  • 00:10:24
    mentioned earlier is a very very very
  • 00:10:27
    powerful tool don't under estimate the
  • 00:10:29
    power of your mind if you can really
  • 00:10:32
    become in tune with
  • 00:10:34
    it and you take the time
  • 00:10:37
    to be with
  • 00:10:39
    it you can use visualization as a tool
  • 00:10:42
    to really
  • 00:10:45
    almost teleport yourself into an
  • 00:10:48
    alternate reality and that might
  • 00:10:52
    sound weird or outlandish or extreme or
  • 00:10:56
    whatever but it's a really really
  • 00:10:58
    powerful tool we're talking about the
  • 00:11:00
    imagination here and if you think of
  • 00:11:03
    anybody who has done anything great in
  • 00:11:06
    this
  • 00:11:07
    world um if you think about anybody
  • 00:11:09
    who's invented something amazing
  • 00:11:12
    something
  • 00:11:14
    revolutionary if you think about um some
  • 00:11:17
    of the most profound artists whether
  • 00:11:19
    it's a music or
  • 00:11:21
    painting or poetry everything starts
  • 00:11:25
    with the imagination it's an idea it's a
  • 00:11:28
    thought and the more you can kind of
  • 00:11:30
    mold this thought and mature it
  • 00:11:34
    and kind of paint the picture be make it
  • 00:11:38
    become more detail
  • 00:11:41
    oriented the more you can immerse
  • 00:11:43
    yourself in it the more it becomes real
  • 00:11:46
    and the more you Empower that the more
  • 00:11:48
    you can become connected to
  • 00:11:51
    it the stronger that Vision will
  • 00:11:53
    be and that will be a beacon for you if
  • 00:11:58
    you're an environment that you can't
  • 00:12:01
    change or you don't have much control
  • 00:12:03
    over and it's really limiting your
  • 00:12:05
    ability to be creative
  • 00:12:08
    or have ambitious thoughts or you know
  • 00:12:12
    remove that that ceiling those limiting
  • 00:12:15
    beliefs and get into a head space that
  • 00:12:18
    is motivating and driven having that
  • 00:12:22
    strong Vision again will be your beacon
  • 00:12:25
    it'll be your light to look to and that
  • 00:12:27
    gives you Direction
  • 00:12:29
    that gives you
  • 00:12:32
    orientation having a strong Vision
  • 00:12:34
    allows you
  • 00:12:37
    to it gives you the ability to say what
  • 00:12:40
    is right and wrong what's a right
  • 00:12:42
    direction and what's a wrong direction
  • 00:12:44
    what's a smart choice and what's a poor
  • 00:12:46
    choice now to extend that our
  • 00:12:48
    environment also consists of
  • 00:12:51
    friends if you're spending all of your
  • 00:12:54
    time around friends who
  • 00:12:56
    again do not have the priorities
  • 00:12:59
    straight if you're spending your time
  • 00:13:01
    around friends who are drinking and
  • 00:13:04
    smoking and playing video games all day
  • 00:13:07
    and going to the club and just talking
  • 00:13:11
    about unproductive things things that
  • 00:13:14
    really will get no one anywhere
  • 00:13:17
    certainly is not going to be good for
  • 00:13:18
    you and if you really want to do
  • 00:13:20
    something great in this world if you
  • 00:13:22
    want
  • 00:13:23
    to be the one that paves the path if you
  • 00:13:26
    want to be the Bold one
  • 00:13:30
    there's really not a lot of margin for
  • 00:13:32
    error in that regard and it's easy when
  • 00:13:35
    you're young to think like well it's
  • 00:13:38
    okay I'm young I can have fun I can get
  • 00:13:40
    wild I can be Reckless a little
  • 00:13:45
    bit like yeah some people that's
  • 00:13:49
    perfectly
  • 00:13:51
    fine but this is a different type of
  • 00:13:54
    life that we're
  • 00:13:56
    pursuing this is a
  • 00:13:59
    stricter
  • 00:14:01
    path but at the end of
  • 00:14:04
    it uh you are rewarded with boundless
  • 00:14:09
    fulfillment a strong sense of purpose a
  • 00:14:11
    strong sense of
  • 00:14:14
    meaning you will be able to
  • 00:14:17
    inspire others those around you your
  • 00:14:19
    family and you will have
  • 00:14:21
    freedom if you take the risks if you put
  • 00:14:24
    in the work if you continuously show up
  • 00:14:29
    and your focus and priority is on
  • 00:14:31
    improving
  • 00:14:32
    yourself and developing your skills and
  • 00:14:34
    becoming a better
  • 00:14:36
    person strengthening your
  • 00:14:41
    mind you will be a person that attracts
  • 00:14:45
    freedom in all Realms of Life
  • 00:14:47
    financially location wise TimeWise I
  • 00:14:52
    think that kind of future that kind of
  • 00:14:55
    lifestyle is what attracts most of us
  • 00:14:59
    it's what sparks that thought you know
  • 00:15:02
    and it's it's more than money money
  • 00:15:06
    is money is a thing and it helps us do
  • 00:15:09
    other things more things
  • 00:15:13
    but there's something deeper there those
  • 00:15:16
    who get to the end of that
  • 00:15:18
    path they don't get there they didn't
  • 00:15:21
    have the sustainability or the longevity
  • 00:15:24
    or the grit or
  • 00:15:26
    tenacity because they were money hungry
  • 00:15:29
    that's
  • 00:15:30
    cheap and it's a short this it's it's
  • 00:15:34
    not enough with some things
  • 00:15:37
    yes but what we're speaking of what
  • 00:15:40
    we're after it's not enough there's
  • 00:15:42
    something much much deeper so you have
  • 00:15:45
    to
  • 00:15:47
    prioritize who you spend your time
  • 00:15:49
    with the things that you spend your time
  • 00:15:52
    doing in your free
  • 00:15:55
    time it all
  • 00:15:57
    matters a lot
  • 00:16:00
    especially when you're
  • 00:16:01
    young before I think your brain I'm not
  • 00:16:05
    exactly sure but I think your brain
  • 00:16:07
    stopped developing around 23 to 25
  • 00:16:10
    something like that but as you get
  • 00:16:14
    older it's harder to change so now is
  • 00:16:18
    where it's when it's more most important
  • 00:16:21
    to adopt these good habits to program
  • 00:16:24
    your subconscious mind
  • 00:16:25
    to be optimized to work in your
  • 00:16:30
    favor like that's the goal your
  • 00:16:33
    subconscious you want to program your
  • 00:16:35
    subconscious mind in a manner that it
  • 00:16:37
    almost works for you but you can't do
  • 00:16:40
    that if if you're reckless with your
  • 00:16:42
    environment if you really genuinely
  • 00:16:44
    focus on improving these three
  • 00:16:48
    things you will become the person that
  • 00:16:50
    you strive to
  • 00:16:53
    be but it's going to take some time it
  • 00:16:56
    is a process you're going to have to be
  • 00:16:58
    patient
  • 00:16:59
    but that's
  • 00:17:00
    fine find joy in that enjoy the process
  • 00:17:04
    um cherish it because it really is a
  • 00:17:06
    beautiful thing you are undergoing a
  • 00:17:09
    transformation you are think like a
  • 00:17:11
    caterpillar becoming a
  • 00:17:13
    butterfly that's a beautiful
  • 00:17:16
    thing and and that's what's happening to
  • 00:17:18
    you right
  • 00:17:20
    now
  • 00:17:22
    so observe it in a
  • 00:17:24
    way romanticize
  • 00:17:27
    it um and be grateful for the present
  • 00:17:31
    moment um it's easy when you are so
  • 00:17:34
    focused on the future what your future
  • 00:17:36
    is going to look like to take for
  • 00:17:39
    granted the present moment it's
  • 00:17:40
    something I struggle with I'm not
  • 00:17:44
    perfect but it's extremely important
  • 00:17:47
    because if you not the present is all we
  • 00:17:49
    have at the end of the day we're not
  • 00:17:50
    guaranteed tomorrow
  • 00:17:52
    friends we simply are
  • 00:17:55
    not um but if you can find that balance
  • 00:17:59
    if you can be goal oriented if you can
  • 00:18:01
    be
  • 00:18:02
    driven to pursue a a way of living if
  • 00:18:06
    you can be motivated to improve yourself
  • 00:18:09
    and work towards something and also
  • 00:18:12
    remember to cherish the present moment
  • 00:18:15
    and appreciate
  • 00:18:17
    it I think
  • 00:18:19
    that's that's where you want to be
  • 00:18:22
    at but hopefully you got something out
  • 00:18:25
