- Here are seven things that
will make you unstoppable.
00:00
Number one, change your
inputs to change your outputs.
00:03
So a lot of us go throughout
life completely unaware
00:06
of why we do certain things or
why we think certain thoughts
00:09
or why we say things the
way that we say them,
00:12
with the tone in which we say them.
00:15
Or we can't figure out why
we're tired all the time.
00:17
Our behavior is like a mystery to us.
00:19
Something completely out of
our control, like the weather
00:21
or some foreign government EMPing you
00:24
while you're in a plane
on the way to Europe.
00:27
But maybe things aren't so
complicated or mysterious.
00:30
Maybe we're putting out
exactly what we're putting in.
00:33
Your mother and your
grandmother have said it
00:35
since you were a child,
00:37
"You are what you eat."
00:39
But it goes way deeper than that.
00:40
You are what you eat, what
you smell, what you see.
00:41
Your senses are soaking
in inputs all the time,
00:45
99.9% of which are
synthesized and understood
00:49
and processed by your subconscious.
00:53
And what that means is that
00:56
you're not conscious of it.
00:57
You're not consciously aware of the fact
00:58
that all these calculations
are being made.
01:01
Your conscious mind is super
efficient at no longer noticing
01:03
the filth in your bedroom,
01:07
the moldy spaghetti behind your monitor.
01:08
But your subconscious smells
that every second of the day.
01:10
What you are inputting into
your subconscious is information
01:14
that is making you feel a certain way,
01:17
that's making you behave a certain way.
01:19
Become conscious of what you
are feeding your subconscious
01:20
on a regular basis.
01:24
When was the last time you saw a tree?
01:25
Number two, you have to
stretch in order to grow.
01:27
So in order to be successful
in life, you probably need
01:30
to have habits that benefit you.
01:33
So maybe you don't have those (laughs)
01:35
and maybe you want to be
a person that has those.
01:38
But I think there are two
main ways that people fail
01:40
to implement beneficial
habits for the long term.
01:43
The first way is they think
it's going to be too easy.
01:46
They think that habit change
is this really fun thing.
01:49
People want to go to the gym every day,
01:52
so they shop for new supplements
and new workout clothes,
01:54
and they get all infatuated with this idea
01:57
of being this healthy, gym going person.
02:00
And then obviously you know the story.
02:02
You show up to the gym
02:04
and it's way harder than
you thought it was gonna be.
02:05
It feels nothing like thinking
about going to the gym.
02:08
Lifting weights is hard.
02:10
You have to sweat and then you feel like,
02:12
"Eh, this isn't fun."
02:14
So you stop doing it.
02:16
The second way I see people fail
02:16
is they think it's going to be really hard
02:18
and miserable, treacherous, not worth it.
02:21
Maybe they've tried a bunch of times
02:24
and they've burned away their naivety
02:26
and they say things like, "I
would start going to the gym,
02:28
but I just don't feel like
putting in all of that effort.
02:31
It's not worth it."
02:34
You probably can identify
that there are truths
02:36
and falsehoods to both
of these approaches.
02:39
Yeah, it's not easy to
implement a new habit.
02:41
Yes, it's not going to feel natural
02:43
and it's going to be kind of
unpleasant for a lot of it,
02:46
but also, it is worth it
02:49
because every single time
you implement something
02:51
that is genuinely good for you,
02:54
when you can manage to
have these small wins,
02:56
when you actually show up to the gym,
02:58
you put in a workout, it is difficult.
03:00
But when you leave the gym
03:03
and you're sitting there on your couch
03:04
after a great workout,
chugging back a protein shake,
03:06
you get this quiet feeling of victory.
03:10
Like, "Damn, a lot of bad
things could happen to me today,
03:12
but at least I went to the gym."
03:16
And that might seem subtle,
03:18
but if you compound that
feeling over a very long time,
03:19
you feel like a completely
different person.
03:23
You have inputted into
your mind repeatedly
03:24
that you have won, you've
done something worthwhile.
03:27
You're growing, you're getting stronger.
03:30
And when you have that
narrative in your subconscious,
03:32
the way you walk changes,
03:35
the way you make eye
contact with people changes,
03:36
the way you treat yourself changes.
03:39
That's the power of burning
away this lesser self,
03:41
of voluntarily subjecting
yourself to pain,
03:44
because what that tells
yourself is that I'm willing
03:47
to go through this to better
myself because I'm worth it.
03:50
I'm shouldering so much suffering
03:54
so that I can be the
best version of myself,
03:56
so that I can be stronger,
03:59
so I can treat myself with respect.
04:01
And that narrative,
treating yourself that way,
04:03
completely transforms your existence.
04:05
That is absolutely worth it.
04:08
And suffering viewed
in this proper context
04:09
is a wonderful thing.
04:13
It is joyous, even.
04:14
So remember that, yes, it's painful,
04:15
but hell yeah, it's worth it.
04:18
Number three, guard your eyes.
04:20
The more we look at something,
04:22
the more we are telling our brain
04:24
that this thing is valuable,
this thing is important to us.
04:25
Even when looking at
something as a reflex,
04:28
you hear a pen drop next to
you and you're home alone,
04:30
you're gonna look at that right away
04:34
because you value that information.
04:35
It could be a predator.
04:36
It could be somebody climbing
through your windows,
04:38
ready to stab your dog.
04:40
I find that the more I scroll Instagram,
04:41
the more I scan my environment
kind of aimlessly looking
04:44
for something to sort of peak my interest.
04:47
You know, there's sort of this aimlessness
04:50
to my field of vision where
I'm just kinda looking
04:52
for things to stimulate me,
04:54
to give me a little brain tickle.
04:56
If you really need to focus
on something in particular,
04:57
try looking at it for 30 seconds.
05:00
Try controlling your eyes,
guarding it from distraction,
05:03
and literally just looking at the thing
05:06
that you're supposed to do
05:09
and not directing your vision
anywhere else but that thing.
05:10
And when your eyes are
focusing on something,
05:13
your entire being tends to focus on it.
05:15
So you don't have to overthink things.
05:17
Just look at what you're supposed to do.
05:19
Don't allow yourself
to look anywhere else.
05:21
Treat your eyes like a laser beam.
05:24
Have a reason to be looking
where you're looking.
05:26
Number four, figure it out.
05:29
So if you wanna get into
power lifting really badly
05:31
and you've never lifted a
dumbbell, a barbell in your life,
05:33
then obviously a really dumb thing to do
05:37
would be to go onto YouTube
05:39
and watch a bunch of videos
of people who can power lift
05:41
or deadlift 600 pounds or more.
05:44
You watch all these videos
05:46
of these strong dudes showing
you the best possible way
05:48
to deadlift 600 pounds.
05:52
Like that's such a waste of time.
05:53
If you've never deadlifted
a thing in your life,
05:55
then watching any of these videos
05:58
is the biggest waste of your time
06:00
you could possibly imagine.
06:02
Go to the gym first,
06:04
and then when you're at the
gym, take out your phone
06:06
and watch a video on basic form
06:09
so that you don't hurt yourself
while you're deadlifting,
06:11
but deadlift!
06:14
Take all the energy you would use to try
06:15
to figure out the perfect
way to do something
06:17
and use it to do the thing
repeatedly and terribly
06:20
so that you can get good at it faster
06:23
than you ever would by
watching videos about it.
06:26
There is no amount of
videos you could watch.
06:28
You could watch 7,000 power lifting videos
06:30
and you would not be able
to deadlift one more pound,
06:34
maybe like two more pounds,
but it ain't gonna be 600.
06:38
Most people's problem
nowadays is they forgot
06:41
what it feels like to
just figure things out.
06:43
Start doing the thing.
Obviously, don't hurt yourself.
06:45
Don't be dumb, but figure it out.
06:49
"Oh no, Joey's telling me
06:51
to start doing free solo
climbing on the side of a cliff
06:54
and not watch a video or get a mentor."
06:57
No, I'm not.
07:02
Figure it out.
07:03
A big thank you to Skillshare
for sponsoring this video.
07:06

really wanted to get into
07:10

07:17
and I hope that you guys
can see the direct result
07:20
of me taking that class here

for sponsoring this video.
08:31
Number five, use leverage.
08:34
This sounds (laughs)
08:36
this sounds like the most technical one,
08:37
it sounds like, I don't
know what it sounds like,
08:38
it sounds (duck quacks) stupid,
08:40
that's what it sounds.
08:42
Not all productive
things are created equal.
08:42
There are things that you
really should be doing,
08:45
or maybe there's literally one thing
08:47
that you always avoid doing,
08:49
and it is by far the most important thing
08:51
you could possibly do.
08:54
In my own life, that's making videos.
08:55
From a strictly monetary, ROI perspective,
08:58
making videos from start to
finish and hitting upload
09:02
is, by far, the best use of
my time I can possibly do.
09:06
So whenever I am hanging out and you know,
09:10
I'm painting my window sill
black in my theater room,
09:14
that is a productive thing.
09:18
I'm painting my window
sill, I'm doing something.
09:20
But when I have a deadline for a sponsor
09:23
and I need to make a video and
I have something on my mind
09:25
and I should just sit
here and talk about it,
09:28
what the hell am I
doing painting a window?
09:31
So many things in life
are like that where yeah,
09:33
it's technically productive,
but it's not the thing.
09:36
It's not the thing that is on your mind
09:38
that's plaguing your existence,
09:41
that is making you feel
like you need to escape.
09:43
Everybody has that thing.
09:45
You need to find a way to
do whatever that thing is
09:47
as often as possible
for as long as possible
09:50
with as much intensity as possible.
09:54
There's a dirty joke in here somewhere.
09:57
And on the exact same
wavelength, there's something
09:59
that is the absolute
worst use of your time
10:02
that you could possibly do.
10:05
It has the absolute worst
ROI out of any activity
10:06
that you do on a daily or weekly basis.
10:10
If you thought about it
for even three seconds,
10:13
there's no reason to do it.
10:15
You need to find a way to do that thing
10:17
as little as possible.
10:19
So that's what it looks
like to maximize leverage.
10:21
Make that one thing that you need to do
10:23
as enjoyable as possible,
as frictionless as possible.
10:26
Make it just so easy to do all the time,
10:30
for a long period of time.
10:34
Spend money and time to
help you make that thing
10:35
as good as possible.
10:39
Increase the quality and enjoyability
10:41
of that most important thing.
10:43
And on the exact same token,
make doing the worst thing
10:45
that you can possibly do
as unenjoyable as possible.
10:48
Straight out miserable,
right? Make it inconvenient.
10:52
Make it as hard as possible to
do what you don't want to do,
10:55
and as easy as possible
10:59
to do the best thing
you could possibly do.
11:00
Number six, stop running from yourself.
11:02
Desiring to be a better version
11:05
of yourself should not
be confused with wanting
11:07
to run away from who you are.
11:09
That might sound cheesy, but
believe me, I've been there.
11:11
I've wanted to just not be who I am.
11:14
And instead of just resenting
my situation, I confused it
11:17
with resenting myself,
11:21
for punishing myself for failing,
11:23
or thinking it's somehow unacceptable
11:25
to be in the state that I'm in
11:27
or to have the lifestyle that I have.
11:29
And it's very important to realize
11:31
that once you start attacking yourself,
11:33
instead of just being proactive about
11:35
leaving your undesirable situation,
11:38
as soon as you start attacking
yourself, all progress stops,
11:40
because even if you
manage to get yourself out
11:43
of your situation, you're
not gonna be happy.
11:46
It's not gonna be good enough.
11:48
You will feel like you always need
11:49
to justify your own existence.
11:51
The narrative inside your head
11:53
when you don't like yourself very much is,
11:54
"Okay, I don't like who
I am and where I am.
11:57
So if I just do this
thing and get this thing,
12:01
then that will make me worth something,
12:04
that will justify my existence."
12:06
But there's no way to
justify your own existence
12:09
through achievement or
accumulating objects.
12:12
There's no point to any of
this if you don't believe
12:15
that you have inherent dignity.
12:18
And if you don't treat yourself
12:19
like you have inherent
dignity from the get go,
12:21
there's nothing you can do to earn that.
12:24
So look at yourself in the mirror,
12:25
take a deep breath, and
say, "I got you, buddy.
12:27
I might not like every single
thing about how I behave
12:31
or what I've done, but I
accept it as the truth.
12:35
I accept it as what has happened.
12:38
It is what it is. This is the reality.
12:41
Now, where do we go from here?"
12:43
Number seven, do what you want.
12:44
And I really mean this in
the deepest possible sense.
12:46
Do whatever the hell you want.
12:50
Now before you go and tear
open a package of Tim Tams
12:53
and start gobbling your
life away, hear me out.
12:58
I think we only ever do what we want.
13:01
We only ever do what
we think we want to do
13:04
in any given moment.
13:06
Even when we do something
that we don't want to do,
13:07
something that we regret doing,
13:10
something that we're
morally opposed to doing.
13:12
I feel like 99% of the time,
13:14
it's only because it's what
we thought we wanted to do
13:17
at the time, or there's
something in it that we want.
13:20
Maybe we don't want all of it,
but there's something there.
13:24
There was something about it
13:26
that we thought we wanted at the time.
13:28
And it turns out we didn't
want it, but we thought we did.
13:30
And I think this is important to consider.
13:33
Try to ask yourself on the
deepest possible level,
13:34
what do you want?
13:38
What kind of life do you want to live?
13:40
What kind of relationships
do you want to have?
13:43
What do you ideally want to
do on a day-to-day basis?
13:45
And why do you want those things?
13:50
How would it make you
feel to live this way?
13:52
And now contrast that with
what you currently do.
13:54
Think about all the things that
you don't like that you do,
13:57
and ask yourself,
14:01
what in these things do I actually want?
14:02
And a lot of the time when
we have things that we do
14:06
that are bad for us, there's
still something in it
14:09
that we want.
14:14
And it's not the thing
itself that we want.
14:15
It's usually a feeling it gives us.
14:17
Try to figure out what that feeling is.
14:20
And it's probably a feeling
that everybody wants, right?
14:22
It's just the thing itself or the activity
14:25
or the behavior isn't
the best possible way
14:28
to achieve that feeling.
14:32
Once you start going through this process,
14:33
a lot of the time you realize
14:35
that even doing what you don't want to do,
14:37
but you think it's something
that you want to do,
14:40
but you shouldn't do,
14:42
it's like even that thing
isn't doing what you want
14:44
in the best possible way.
14:47
Like obviously the easiest
possible example is, you know,
14:48
going on YouTube,
14:52
scrolling through YouTube
Shorts or whatever, right?
14:53
If you stop to ask yourself,
14:55
what about this do I actually like?
14:57
What do I want here?
15:01
Why do I do this?
15:02
What feeling am I looking for?
15:04
What do I have to gain from this
15:06
that I can take with me into life?
15:08
Like will I ever feel satisfied?
15:11
Like, man, I have arrived.
That was so worth it.
15:13
I feel so good now.
15:16
It's like, probably not.
15:18
Don't you want to feel that way?
15:19
Isn't that what you want?
15:22
Probably.
15:25
And a lot of the time,
these dopamine traps,
15:26
things that promise you something
and promise you something
15:29
and promise you something,
15:32
there is no feeling of,
"Ah, I have arrived,
15:33
that was so worth it.
15:38
I feel so good about myself now."
15:39
No, it's always some fake promise.
15:41
Find what that thing is promising,
15:43
and then find the best possible way
15:46
to give yourself that feeling.
15:48
And a lot of the time what
you'll find is giving yourself
15:50
the best possible feeling
15:52
usually aligns with your moral compass.
15:54
It usually makes your life better.
15:58
It usually, you know,
15:59
everything about it is just better
16:00
than doing the worst thing.
16:03
We always think that by
giving up the worst thing,
16:05
our life is gonna be less enjoyable.
16:08
We're giving up something
that's actually good.
16:10
But it's like, that thing
actually isn't that good.
16:12
You know, the best possible
way to get the feeling
16:16
that you want in life and
to be the person you want
16:18
to be in life is by being the
person you want to be in life.
16:20
Unless you actually
think about these things
16:24
and reflect on the feelings
all these activities give you,
16:26
you'll be blind to it.
16:31
You'll fall for false promises.
16:32
Does that make sense?

If that doesn't make sense, comment below.
16:36
Say "Joey, that makes no sense."
16:39
The bottom line is,
16:40
you are a living, breathing human being.
16:42
You affect the world around you.
16:46
You can decide right
now to pick up the glass
16:48
that's closest to you and
throw it against the wall
16:51
and shatter it.
16:54
You can do that.
16:55
You can move through space and time
16:56
and affect the world around you.
16:59
You can affect people around you.
17:01
But most importantly,
you can affect your life.
17:02
You can affect the habits you have.
17:05
You can change your life,
17:07
and you can live the life
that you want to live,
17:09
truly want to live.
17:12
And it will be what you want.
17:13
Like it's the most basic
possible thing and it's exciting.
17:15
So help yourself give
yourself what you want,
17:19
and not just moment to moment, right,
17:23
because that's shortsighted,
17:25
but what your soul is screaming for.
17:26
And I hope that by doing
so, you'll find more peace
17:30
and fulfillment and enjoyment
17:33
every single day of your life.
17:35
