5
And this is our take on his top 10 rules success need motivation watch the top 10 with believe nation
6
if you've been here before drop a hashtag believe in the comments below
7
so it can feature you here in a future video and
8
if you're new welcome to believe nation the only channel
9
that helps you believe in yourself daily one video at a
10
time okay let's kick it off with rule number one have patience delayed gratification is a big part of life
11
and i think what is it that allows people to strike this balance well
12
and gracefully and what is it
13
that you know kind of prevents people from doing it i think a lot of it is patience
14
and persistence you know most people so
15
if we kind of layer on the things we're talking about here
16
so we've got you have a certain kind of lifestyle
17
that you'd like to live day to day
18
but you also make these promises to yourself and you realize delayed gratification
19
and investing in the long term is a big part of life
20
and that's how we do get better results and life is easier
21
when you get better results
22
and then what we were talking about a minute ago with
23
leverage how do i get more output from each unit of
24
time i'm putting in how do i get more out of less
25
if you kind of start to layer all those things together what you realize is there aren't actually
26
that many things in life that allow you to check all those boxes
27
that allow you to both have a good daily life
28
and generate the long -term returns that you want
29
and have get you know get a great output from the effort
30
that you're putting in and
31
so i think a lot of people just get impatient with
32
the answers they don't come up with a good answer for it right away
33
because there aren't that many things that can do all that.
34
And so then they kind of give up and they settle for something less.
35
And I think one of the lessons is reflection and review is a really critical part of living a good life.
36
You at, you need to carve out a lot of time to think about what type of day do I want?
37
What type of lifestyle do I want?
38
What are my opportunities and what's available to me?
39
What resources do I have at hand
40
and how can I piece these things together
41
and align them with my personal interest in a way
42
that allows me to live a good daily life
43
and also get the long -term rewards that i want
44
and there probably aren't going to be just like a hundred things
45
that pop up as an answer to
46
that question you're probably going to need to think about it
47
and lean against it i mean in a sense it's something
48
that you never fully get an answer to it's a it's a process it's a question
49
that you continue to lean against for your whole life
50
and you kind of figure out the art of living as you go.
51
But by having the question, just by walking around and carrying that ambitious question in the back of your mind, you go a long way toward getting an answer.
52
And I think a lot of people give up on it too soon.
53
And that's why they end up with, you know, substandard answers and kind of have to settle for something, something less.
54
Well, number two, develop a system.
55
We're helpful for setting a sense of direction, kind of defining like what direction we're going to row the boat in.
56
They're also useful as a filtering mechanism.
57
If you know what your goals are and somebody comes to you with an opportunity or they say, hey, can you join me on this project or whatever, you can run it through that filter and be like, does that help me achieve the goal or not?
58
And if not, then it's easier to say no. So goals are useful.
59
However, they come with quite a few drawbacks, particularly if you are overfit the goal or overfocus on the goal rather than the system or the process.
60
And to put a little finer point on this, the way that I would explain it is your goal, that's your desired outcome, but your system is the collection of daily habits that you follow.
61
And if there's ever a gap between your system and your goal, if there's ever a gap between your desired outcome, your daily habits will always win.
62
Almost by definition, your current habits are perfectly designed to deliver your current results.
63
Like whatever results you have right now, it's a natural byproduct of the system, the collection of daily habits you've been running for the last three months or six months or a year or two years.
64
So the current system that you have the current daily habits you've carried you to this point.
65
And often we talk about, particularly in business, we talk about changing results.
66
Everybody wants, you know, let's double our revenue or increase, hit this quarterly metric or reach this milestone.
67
It's very much focused on position or outcome.
68
And a focus on the goal is more about focusing on, or sorry, a focus on the system is more about focusing on the trajectory, on the process rather than the position.
69
Rather Rather than saying it's about how much weight is on the scale right now, it's much more about the process and the trajectory of am I showing up to workouts?
70
Am I on a good path?
71
Or rather than how much money is in the bank account right now, it's much more about the process of am I making sales calls?
72
Am I showing up and like performing and building those habits day in and day out?
73
The key here, I think, is that we all so badly want our results to change, but the result is actually not the thing that needs to change.
74
It's the habits that precede the result.
75
Fix the inputs
76
and the outputs will fix themselves most of your results in
77
life are sort of a lagging measure of the habits that precede them, right?
78
Like your bank account is a lagging measure of your financial habits.
79
Your physical fitness is a lagging measure of your eating and training habits.
80
Your knowledge is a lagging measure of your reading and learning habits.
81
Even something as simple as like the clutter on your desk at work
82
or in your garage at your house is a lagging measure of your cleaning habits.
83
And so what we need to adjust is the collection of daily habits, the system, and not necessarily the goal.
84
There's also one final thing which I should add here, which is that in most domains in life, the winners and the losers, so to speak, have the same goals.
85
If you have 100 people apply for a job, presumably every candidate has the goal of getting the job.
86
The goal is not the thing that makes the difference in their performance.
87
Or if you have 25 Olympians competing for the gold medal, presumably every athlete has the goal of winning the gold medal.
88
It's not the goal that separates them.
89
It's the system that they follow, the habits that they're building, the way they train, the way they prepare, the things they do day in and day out.
90
That doesn't mean goals are totally useless, just that maybe they're good as check -ins to make sure that you're moving in the right direction.
91
But I think much more of the time and focus
92
and attention should be spent on the system and the habits that lead to that outcome rather than the goal itself.
93
Rule number three, follow the law of attention.
94
You know, people talk about the like the law of attraction.
95
You know, it's like you want more money, think about money, you want more whatever.
96
But I think actually we should call it the law of attention, because all it really is, is when you start thinking about something, once you start paying attention to it,
97
you naturally notice opportunities for it and areas where it pops up.
98
And this is like that, you know, you pick stillness and you start seeing areas where, you know, that can apply in life.
99
You pick, you know, like one thing I'm thinking a lot about recently is like leverage
100
or how do I get more out of each unit of time
101
or how do I get more of each unit of effort?
102
And when you have that frame, it gives you a different way of thinking about that, seeing the things that you face each day.
103
Rule number four, start with the identity.
104
Usually when people start the process of changing a habit or changing their behavior, they start by saying something, well, what outcomes do I want?
105
They're like, oh, I want to lose weight.
106
Okay, that's the outcome that I want.
107
So I'm going to change my habits to do that.
108
So usually it's like you pick some outcome.
109
All right, I want to lose 40 pounds.
110
So now I'm going to come up with a process or a plan.
111
I need to go to the gym four days a week and change my diet or whatever.
112
And typically it stops there.
113
The kind of implicit assumption, although people don't usually say it, is if I follow this workout plan and I lose 40 pounds, if I do this thing and I get this outcome,
114
then I'll be the person I want to be.
115
We sort of think that the identity will come as a side effect of that.
116
Oh, if if I make this many sales calls and I hit that revenue number, then I'll be the salesperson I want to be or the executive I want to be or whatever.
117
My argument is to invert it.
118
And instead of starting with the outcome, let's start with the identity.
119
So to use the workout example, you'd say, well, who is the type of person that could lose 40 pounds?
120
Maybe it's the type of person who doesn't miss workouts. And
121
so now actually your focus shifts from the number on the
122
scale needs to change to I need to build the identity of someone who doesn't miss workouts.
123
I need to master the art of showing up.
124
And the focus on being that kind of person, I think that it lends a little light hints at what I think is the real reason that habits matter.
125
We usually talk about habits as mattering because they provide external results.
126
Oh, they'll help you be more productive or double your income or lose weight or reduce stress.
127
And it's true.
128
Habits can do all those things.
129
It's great that they can provide those outcomes.
130
But I think the real reason that habits matter is they can reshape your sense of self.
131
And what I mean by that is your habits are how you embody a particular identity.
132
Any morning that you make your bed, you embody the identity of someone who is clean and organized.
133
If you study biology for 20 minutes on Tuesday night, you embody the identity of someone who is studious.
134
If you do one push -up, you embody the identity of someone who is an athlete.
135
And the way that I like to summarize this is to say
136
that every action you take is like a vote for the type of person you want to become.
137
And so the more that you cast those votes, the more you build up evidence of that identity.
138
So no, doing one push -up does not transform your body, but it does cast a vote for I'm the type of person who doesn't miss workouts.
139
And no, writing one sentence does not finish the novel, but it does cast a vote for I'm a writer.
140
And the same thing could be said in many business contexts.
141
No, making one sales call does not radically transform your book of business, but it does cast a vote for, I'm a salesperson, or I'm the type of person who does this every day.
142
And that, I think, in the long run, really means a lot because it reinforces that desired identity.
143
Ultimately, like the real goal is not to run a half marathon.
144
It's to become a runner.
145
The goal is not to read 30 books.
146
It's to become a reader.
147
And so once you adopt that identity, once you take pride in being that kind of person.
148
it becomes much easier to stick to the habit.
149
If you sign up for a half marathon, you might run because you have the race.
150
But somebody who identifies as a runner, they'll train whether they have a race or not because they're like, this is just part of who I am.
151
It's what I do.
152
And that's ultimately, so in that sense, true behavior change is really identity change.
153
And I think to bring a full circle, it comes back to building small habits because you are casting votes for that new identity.
154
You're reinforcing being that kind of person.
155
You don't usually talk about habits in that way.
156
You don't usually hear people discuss them in that way.
157
But ultimately, I think that's why they matter, is that they can give you this new narrative for talking about yourself.
158
And if you can do that, if you can cast enough votes and build up evidence, then you have every reason in the world to believe it.
159
And that's a little bit different than what you typically hear, which is like, fake it till you make it.
160
You know, like fake it till you make it is, I don't necessarily have anything wrong with it.
161
It's asking you to believe something positive about yourself.
162
But it's asking you to believe something positive without having evidence for it
163
and we have a word or beliefs that don't have evidence.
164
We call it delusion, right?
165
Like at some point, your brain doesn't like this mismatch between what you're saying or what you're doing.
166
And so my argument is to let the behavior lead the way.
167
Start with meditating for one minute or making one sales call
168
or writing one sentence and let that be evidence
169
that you are a meditator or you are a salesperson or you are a writer.
170
And eventually, you'll actually come to believe it because you cannot deny that in that moment, you were that person.
171

174
just click the link in the description to go grab it
175
i'll see you there rule number five know what you are
176
optimizing for one of the questions i try to ask myself
177
a lot is what do i i approach it in different ways
178
but you could say one version of the question is what am i optimizing for
179
so sometimes you optimize for free time or time with family sometimes it's for making money Sometimes it's for creative freedom, but the answer changes for not,
180
not just across people, it will change within you.
181
You know, like I'm optimizing for different things now than I was five years ago or 10 years ago.
182
So that question I find helpful.
183
Another question is what season am I in right now?
184
You know, sometimes you're in a season where the work burner is cranked on high and you're really focused on, you know, performing well there.
185
Other times the friends or family burner is cranked up.
186
But when your season changes, your emphasis or your habits often need to change, you know, what value you're emphasizing is going to shift.
187
And then the, the last way that I think about it is what it basically the question is, what do I want my daily lifestyle to look like?
188
Not do I, what do I want my results to look like?
189
Because if you do it based on results or you do it based on the opportunities that come your way, that's when it's really easy to get into talking yourself into, Oh, let me do this because it's a cool thing.
190
but if you do it based on what you want your daily lifestyle to look like
191
and then you say i'm going to draw a box around what i want my day to look like
192
and inside of
193
that box how can i make the most money reach the most people make the biggest impact you know
194
and so on but not if it's outside of it
195
but most people start the other way around
196
which is they say how can i make the most money
197
or reach the most people or make the biggest impact
198
or you know get the result that i want
199
and then they kind of draw the box around that
200
and convince themselves oh i would be okay with living
201
that lifestyle and what you end up with is talking yourself into a lifestyle
202
that you don't actually enjoy that much just because you were chasing the outcome.
203
Rule number six, master your choices and strategy.
204
Broadly speaking, I think there are kind of three main things that impact your outcomes in life.
205
The first is randomness or luck.
206
The second is your choices and your strategy and then the third is your habits and your behavior, the actions that you take.
207
Now by definition you don't have control over luck or misfortune good
208
or bad you can't influence it but if you can master the other two
209
which are in your control
210
if you can master your choices in your strategy make sure you're focusing on the right thing
211
and you can master your behavior
212
and your habits make sure you're taking actions on those right
213
things then i think what happens is you increase the surface
214
area for good luck to come your way you know you don't it's not totally in your control
215
but you're like increasing the odds that some that the domino falls in your direction
216
So I sort of see those two pieces of the puzzles working together.
217
You got your habits and that action, and then you've got your strategy and the choices.
218
And collectively, they can put you on a really solid path.
219
Rule number seven, build momentum.
220
One of the most effective feelings, one of the most motivating states is the feeling of progress.
221
Yeah.
222
And if you're focused on feeling guilty, blaming yourself for not improving,
223
feeling like, oh, I'm not able to build better habits because something's wrong with me, that's not a very productive state to be in.
224
Whereas if you shift it and say, all right, the problem is not me.
225
The problem is the system.
226
And if I'm going to change the system, then I can do X, Y, and Z.
227
And we can talk about a variety of those strategies.
228
But each time you do that, you take action.
229
and you build progress and momentum.
230
And so I think it is a much more productive way to approach the process of change
231
because it gives you something to actually work on.
232
I mean, all the rest of these strategies, a lot of the time it's about stuff like, you know, think positive or fake it till you make it or stuff like that.
233
And there's nothing necessarily wrong with that.
234
Like certainly if you want to think positive, it sounds better than thinking negatively.
235
But my focus is much more on practical action steps.
236
How can we make the process of behavior change actionable
237
and give you something that to do to design a system where you're more likely to succeed
238
and so i think that's just a better place to spend your time and energy number eight
239
prioritize long -term rewards if you take a bad habit
240
or an unhealthy habit like eating a donut
241
or something the immediate outcome is favorable it's sugary it's tasty
242
it's enjoyable in the moment that's how it serves you that's the reason why you repeat it the ultimate outcome
243
if you repeat that every day for the next three months
244
or year or whatever is you end up gaining weight or you're less healthy or so on.
245
For good habits, it's often the reverse, right?
246
Like sometimes, you know, the benefit of going to the gym in many people's eyes is the immediate outcome is unfavorable.
247
Sweat, I have to work, it's effortful, it's hard, I need to sacrifice, I don't get to watch TV, I got to go there instead.
248
So the immediate outcome is unfavorable.
249
The ultimate outcome, if you repeat that habit for two months or a year or whatever, is you're fit and healthy.
250
And this is one of the key challenges of building good habits and breaking bad ones,
251
is figuring out ways to take the long -term consequences of your good habits
252
or of your bad habits and pull them into the present moment
253
so you feel a little bit of the pain right now
254
so it serves you less and to take the long -term rewards of your good habits
255
and pull those into the present moment so it feels good.
256
And this is one reason why, you know, it's great to choose, like, what's the best form of exercise?
257
Well, maybe it's the one that you enjoy because if it feels good in the moment, now it serves you and you have a reason to repeat it.
258
Well, number nine, build keystone habits.
259
Is there such thing as I guess central habits that can help to shift and transform other aspects of your life?
260
Because that's something that I've noticed a little bit where
261
if I start eating better or
262
if I start going to the gym every day it's almost like a domino
263
or ripple effect where these other habits start to pick up naturally because I'm starting to feel better.
264
So like because I've been going to the gym five days a week so now
265
when I come home I don't feel like binging out on junk food I feel like eating better food
266
or if I wake up early
267
is that something you've noticed in your research yeah sure
268
so there are two ways to answer this question
269
so the first way is what you're describing is often sometimes called a keystone habit
270
and the idea is you do one thing
271
and it like ripples into other areas of your life and
272
so for me it's exercise like
273
if I go to the gym then I get the benefits of exercise
274
but I also tend to eat better I like for some
275
reason I just don't want to waste it I also focus more so I have sort of that like post workout high, uh, after I, after I work out.
276
Uh, and then I sleep better because I'm tired from the workout, which means I wake up the next morning and I have better energy.
277
Um, and at no point was I trying to build better sleep habits or energy habits or focus habits or nutrition habits, but all that kind of just came as a side effect of doing this one thing of going to the gym.
278
Some other common, uh, keystone habits are budgeting.
279
Sometimes people say when they pay off debt, you'll, then they'll like start to get in shape or they, um, you know, build, but they're more social and have better relationships or like, there's all kinds of things that kind of come out of that.
280
Um, going for a daily walk is a really big one.
281
It's very common one among creators in particular.
282
There's a book called daily rituals by Mason Curie.
283
And he basically just writes down like what, I don't know, it's a hundred or 150 famous like creators and scientists and whatever, what their daily routines were.
284
And a lot of them were raging alcoholics and on amphetamines and all kinds of other stuff.
285
But the ones who, uh, were more healthy daily habit, a daily habit, like walking was a really big part of their routine um
286
visualization is a big one especially for performers like a comedian
287
or something they'll often visualize the same kind of result
288
or professional athletes uh before they step out on the stage
289
or step out on the court
290
and remember 10 the last one before a very special bonus
291
clip is master the art of showing up people have heard things like this before start small small steps whatever
292
but even when you know you should start small it's still really easy to start too big
293
so uh you know say you want to get in shape and you're Like, all right, I want to run a couple days a week, but I know I should start small, so I'll only run for 15 minutes.
294
But even that is, like, way bigger than what I'm talking about.
295
I mean, it should be so small that you, in the book I call it the two -minute rule, but you should downscale any habit to fit within two minutes.
296
So it's like, all right, I want to go for a run three days a week.
297
My habit is I put on my running shoes and I step out the door.
298
Anything else that happens after that is just bonus.
299
It's a success.
300
now sometimes people resist that
301
because they're like well this sounds kind of like a mental
302
trick right like i know the real goal isn't just to
303
put my shoes on i know the real goal is to go for a run
304
so if you feel
305
that way my suggestion would be only do the first two minutes for the first few weeks
306
because what you need to do is master the art of
307
showing up like i had a i had a reader who ended up losing over 100 pounds We'll be right back.
308
And one of the things that he did was he went to the gym, but he wasn't allowed to stay for longer than five minutes.
309
So he would show up, be there, do like half an exercise.
310
Five minutes would go, he'd leave.
311
He did this for like six weeks.
312
Wow.
313
Now, it sounds ridiculous.
314
It sounds silly because it's the opposite.
315
You just work out for a half hour.
316
Yeah, yeah.
317
But what he was doing was mastering the art of showing up.
318
And a habit must be established before it can be improved.
319
If you don't establish the habit, there's nothing to optimize.
320
If you're not showing up at the gym every day, who cares about what workout you're doing? you're not even there don't start running an hour a day
321
if you've never run in a long time be the person who shows up
322
and puts their running shoes on every day before you worry
323
about how far you're running what kind of workout you're doing and all
324
that type of stuff your concept of getting one percent better is much more believable for most people
325
and so just address that for a second why why one percent better every day
326
and how does a habit do that sure
327
so first of all i think there's no reason that you can't be really ambitious, right?
328
Like I consider myself to be a very ambitious person.
329
I think it's just that you're oscillating or switching between these two modes, you know, like when you're in planning mode, when you're in strategy mode,
330
sure, you can be very ambitious and be very aggressive and, you know, stretching yourself and reaching.
331
But when it comes time to take action and execute, you have to scale it down to something you can achieve that day.
332
You know, like the, in one sense, the biggest unit of time you could ever do something is about a single day
333
because then you got to go to sleep, you know, and then you have to wake up again and do it the next day.
334
So unless you're playing, you know, at some point there's a limit, you can only stay up for 48 hours or 72 hours, like, you know, and then you break.
335
So that's the largest possible unit that you could ever do a single thing in.
336
And I think more realistically, most of the time, the truth is, you know, you got about an hour, maybe you got two hours to work on this and then got to go move on to something else.
337
So we don't have big chunks of time available to us.
338
We need to scale things down into pieces that we can actually work on and execute.
339
So the way that I think about it is when making plans, think big.
340
When making progress, think small.
341
And getting 1 % better each day is a way to encourage that.
342
Excellence, a lot of the time, maybe we can even say most of the time, is not actually about radical change.
343
It's about a commitment to accruing small improvements day in and day out.
344
Secondly, and I think this is also crucial, it encourages you to focus on trajectory rather than position, right?
345
There's a lot of discussion about position in life.
346
How much money is in the bank account?
347
What is the number on the scale?
348
What is the current stock price?
349
What are the quarterly earnings?
350
There's all this measurement around our current position.
351
But what getting 1 % better each day encourages is to focus on your trajectory instead.
352
Am I getting better?
353
Is the arrow pointed up and to the right or have we flatlined?
354
Am I getting 1 % better or 1 % worse?
355
Because if you're on a good trajectory, all you need is time.
356
right if you have good habits time becomes your ally you just need to let time work for you
357
but if you have bad habits time becomes your enemy
358
and every day that clicks by you kind of dig the hole a little bit deeper
359
and so it's very much at the core it's about encouraging you to focus on trajectory rather than position
360

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
