So you have a goal a vision
and For whatever reason you can't bring yourself to do the things that you
need to do in order to get there
and it almost doesn't make sense like how can you want something so
bad like I know that feeling I know
How amped up you probably get thinking about that thing, you know living
living that lifestyle being that person having that freedom, you know, all those things.
I like it invokes like this invigorating adrenaline.
It makes you feel alive, you know, it gives you goosebumps when you think about it.
So how can you want that thing so bad and still
just not be willing to do the things that you
need to do?
And it's not like the things that you need to be doing are difficult in any way or
are a mystery.
Everyone knows what to do.
All the information is out there online.
You can find a ton of YouTube videos on how to do pretty much anything in this world.
Start any kind of business.
You can learn how to become an artist.
You can learn how to do anything.
You can learn how to become a chef.
You can literally learn anything on the internet nowadays.
So it's not a matter of how.
It's a matter of will.
Where do you find the will?
Evidently, it's not going to be motivation
because motivation doesn't trump laziness, you know, because motivation is temporary.
That's why when you think about your goal or your vision,
you maybe get amped up and you know, you might
work at it for a week or two weeks or maybe even a month,
but eventually you burn out and like
you just go back to square one.
and it's just like this repeating endless dreadful cycle.
So what needs to change?
How do we find the will?
Many of us are too focused on everything that's going on out here, external factors, right?
And when the physical world doesn't reflect what we want in our minds,
it leaves us frustrated and
confused and exhausted and discouraged and
a whole bunch of other things that no one wants to feel.
Whereas what needs to happen is we need to embody the person that we want to become
on the inside.
We need to adopt their mindset.
We need to adopt their mental framework.
We need to replicate their behaviors
and naturally the physical realm will kind of just reflect that.
Now this probably isn't the first time you heard someone say this.
Like you need to adopt the mindset first.
But I want to really specify something because a lot of people go out this a completely wrong way.
You need to really immerse yourself in this.
Like this is a very involved process.
This isn't like you just tell yourself,
Um, a few positive affirmations and
you meditate for 10 minutes
and call the day.
No, like this is a, you need to rework your, your internal system here.
Like this is a deep rooting issue.
Um, because what you're asking to change is, is, is you, your identity, who you are.
Right.
Uh, good news is once you actually make this change, you pretty much,
win at that point, like that's the hard part.
Everything else just kind of follows because all that life is is a projection of what's going on in here.
So if you can get this right, if you can align this with what you truly want.
Everything will just kind of fall into place after that. But I want to make that clear.
You have to really immerse yourself in this process.
I did this through a form of self hypnosis.
I would isolate my mind.
I would turn off all the lights, get rid of all the distractions.
I would make sure my environment was silent.
And I would get into a very relaxed state almost where everything kind of around me just disappeared.
And I was really able to focus all of my energy on me.
What this gave me the ability to do was
look deeply into my
subconscious into
why I did certain things, what I truly wanted in life, why I wanted them, what
was truly preventing me from getting there, what were things that I most needed to change
about my current self, to
better reflect who I wanted to become, like these kinds of things.
And I was able to really hyper fixate on them in this kind of state.
What I noticed was when you really isolate yourself, your mind, and you put yourself one-on-one with your
weaknesses, the things that you must change, the things that you need to
improve on in order to reflect the person
that you're trying to become, you rapidly transform.
Like you evolve at a rate that you
might not even imagine this possible and I mean truly like that's the only way to do it
but many of
us are too distracted on our phones or watching TV or YouTube or
who knows what else like go into
the club or going out partying or whatever you do I don't know but playing video games.
The list goes on and on and on. We live in a world of distraction and temptation.
I would say
99% of people really don't give themselves any time out of the day to do this kind of
thing at any level.
So you
get a whole bunch of people saying that
they want to change or they have a goal and they
don't understand why they can't pursue it at any rate.
And it's like,
once you look at it from this perspective, it's almost laughable because it makes no sense.
Why would you think that you could change if you're not giving yourself
any time out every day to see where you need to change?
So I want you to know the most powerful tool that you can possibly utilize is self-reflection.
patients as well, you know, like
the longer you can sit with yourself and really like every answer, every question that
you have All the information is within. It's nowhere else.
You're not going to get it on a YouTube video.
You're not going to get it reading a book.
YouTube videos are great. Books are amazing.
I'm not saying that they're not useful.
But in this case, what we're trying to do is, like I said, rewire our internal system.
We need to wipe away the crappy foundation we're currently standing on and rebuild it to replicate
the foundation we need in order to build this grand structure that we're trying to become.
You're not going to get that through a YouTube video or a book or by talking to
an internal process that
needs to happen. Does that make sense?
You know, and by extension in order to,
in order for that internal process to really take place in its full
form, you need to isolate yourself, and you need to immerse yourself in that.
You know, like, I'm having trouble to fully accurately describe it, but I feel like you probably
are kind of getting when I'm saying,
but I do promise you,
When you practice this, like give it a week,
okay, give it a week and see where you end up.
Give yourself an hour out of the day
and get rid of all the distractions, turn off the lights and just focus on your breathing.
Ask yourself, what do you truly want?
What type of person do you want to become?
How do they operate?
What is their lifestyle?
What are their motives?
What are their values?
Do any of those things defer from who we currently are? Why are
those differences rooted in something in our past?
What are ways that we can
go about changing them or improving them?
You just have to ask yourself questions. That's really it.
It's a very simple thing.
It's not...
It's not rocket science.
You just have to be with yourself, ask yourself questions, listen to your own answers.
And you'll just naturally be guided down the right path. I promise you.
And you'll acquire this new perspective that kind of opens up a whole new dimension of life
for you.
And we're getting down to whatever road now.
But Your issue is not laziness.
Your issue is
you're not listening to yourself.
You're constantly being distracted.
You're constantly preoccupied.
You need to just listen to yourself
and identify who you want to become.
Like I said before, all reality is a projection of what's going on in here.
So that's your main priority.
So you can straighten this out.
Laziness is just a mirror.
It's not even relevant at that point.
Laziness is such a surface level
issue that's not the deep rooting cause of why you're not making any progress.
You're not listening to yourself.
That's the root cause.
So dedicate like even just an hour out of your day to
just be alone in an isolated environment, isolate your
mind. Identify like what your vision is.
Who do you want to become?
How does that person behave?
How do they operate?
What about us deferral that? What's limiting us?
What do we need to change?
The more you sit with yourself, these answers will kind of just reveal themselves to you.
Like I said, you'll grow at a rate that you probably didn't even think was possible.
It's just you have to start doing it.
All this is just noise and distraction right now.
You are your answer.
So, hopefully that resonated and made some sense for you.
