1
I've been thinking a lot lately about how we live in an age of distraction
2
and how people genuinely spend more time looking at a screen than thinking about their own reality.
3
They always make excuses like, I don't have time, I'll start next week.
4
Sometimes you don't even have the ability to make excuses
5
because you're too consumed in distraction to even know what you're
6
not doing with your life odds are you're probably no different
7
you've probably known exactly what you need to do for years
8
and odds are things probably aren't going to change unless you can actually fix the root cause
9
why do you think so many people watch other people achieve things
10
and won't actually go there and do it themselves i feel like it's easier to get that emotion
11
that you like feeling from ambition from watching other people rather
12
than having to do it yourself you continuously are consuming someone
13
else rather than yourself doing something you can almost just get away with
14
that quick fake dopamine hit that you get and i feel like people lie to themselves that doing nothing
15
is better than doing something bad or doing nothing is better than failing
16
because failing is terrifying and then in doing the nothing they watch other people do it
17
so they can at least kind of like keep a lie to themselves
18
and until you're in this like really dark place where you're forced to face the truth
19
and you're like oh wow like i haven't been doing the things
20
that noah should be doing being good or fulfilled
21
or whatever doesn't just come obviously from not doing good things
22
but when you know there are things that you should be doing
23
that are good for you good for people around you and you don't do them, that's bad.
24
The dream is really easy to love when it hasn't cost you anything yet.
25
And before you've taken action, it hasn't cost you anything.
26
I don't even think it's necessary that people are lazy, I just think they're addicted to the idea of potential.
27
Because it's super easy to sit there I would say I have the potential to do it, but I just haven't done it yet.
28
Versus, no, I tried and I failed because I'm not good enough to do that.
29
That's a fucking gut punch right there.
30
I don't know.
31
Where would you say the line is between consuming content
32
and letting your life pass by and actually being motivated and inspired by what you're consuming?
33
I would say in a loose word, humility, because your ability to be honest with yourself, which I think is a huge part of humility.
34
So if you're lying to yourself when you're consuming content, being like this is educating me motivating me pushing me towards doing my thing
35
but you're not actually doing the thing only you know
36
so you need the humility to be honest with yourself with
37
that and it's the intentionality behind what you're doing are you intentionally like okay
38
in my clear mind feeling good
39
and motivated this is what i'm going to do in the
40
day to get me to where i want to be i
41
have a block of 30 minutes where i'm going to consume content
42
that will either build my energy up educate me
43
and drive me towards that
44
or are you just like oh i got 10 minutes between this meeting
45
and that meeting i'm just going to mindlessly scroll or or you're stuck there for an hour.
46
Think it's just the ability to be honest with yourself.
47
Not be a skinny bitch.
48
What do you think, in your experience, stops most people from starting?
49
a lot of things but top two that come to mind one most dramatic answer would be ignorance
50
I think people are ignorant to the fact of how important and the magnitude of the reality that
51
life is so short and that we're going to die and they just think they have more time to do it
52
and they know it but they don't understand it
53
and believe it in their hearts enough to actually take on action on it
54
which to me is proof that they don't really know it
55
because someone sat you down and you could really sit there
56
and believe like you have one chance to do something
57
and it is going to be the most important thing
58
that you ever do for your entire existence
59
and all you have to do is put your best effort into it
60
and it will be fruitful be fulfilling it will be amazing
61
like that it's like well duh I'm going to do it
62
but like that's what your life is but people don't understand
63
that so one day they're going to die
64
and they're going to sit there
65
and be like fuck did I give everything I had probably
66
not you know you only have one shot you're all in on life
67
so you might as well make it the most spectacular thing
68
that you can possibly make it which brings me to point number two
69
which is another thing holding the back of their self -image I'm a huge belief believer in the idea
70
that you have an inherited self -image about yourself
71
that comes from how you were raised your brain was formed watching people do things
72
and that became your reality of what's possible
73
and what's normal next thing you know you have these belief systems these limiting beliefs from your past
74
that make you think you're not capable of more
75
and it's very hard to break that self -image
76
because over time it becomes what you're comfortable with it becomes
77
the people you surround yourself with that's what they know you for
78
so to be able to break that is like a form of death realistically
79
when people talk about an ego death that's breaking your self -image
80
because to you that was the self
81
that you created to fit into an environment as humans were
82
built to fit into an environment to have a community
83
so we don't go out and die so to let go of
84
that feel like you're gonna die but we live in a modern day where
85
if people are holding you back you can move on
86
and find better people who support you
87
because what you believe in your mind is possible is not
88
true it's just what you've learned from the past it's not objective reality it's subjective ideas.
89
So you gotta break past that shit.
90
Make your own reality.
91
Why do you think people would rather play it safe than take risks chasing their dream?
92
So it comes down to fear.
93
They're afraid of many things.
94
They're afraid of failure.
95
And I think in that sense, if you're not looking at things, again, you can be ignorant.
96
But what you don't realize is that if you're not aligning yourself with anything, then you're just always failing and you don't realize
97
that until it's too late most people do not have a stable sense of self -worth
98
so they attach it to things around themselves myself included done this my whole life working on it still
99
but when you attach your self -worth to something you are working on then
100
that failure feels like your self -worth is diminished so
101
when people don't have
102
that stable sense of self -worth they're much more afraid to actually go out
103
and take action it's easy to say people are afraid of failure
104
and then there's that famous quote from coach carter our deepest fear is not
105
that we are inadequate it's that we are powerful beyond measure
106
if you accept that you are powerful beyond measure and
107
that you are capable of much more what you are also admitting
108
that you are currently a failure or you are currently failing
109
so instead of sitting there being like you know i'm capable of
110
so much more than i'm doing i have a four hour
111
screen time much five cents four hours of my day working my ass off towards a goal
112
because someone else is doing it i want this thing
113
but someone else is working harder than me
114
if i believe i'm capable of
115
that well then in my position right now looking back at
116
last five years of my life we're like what the was i doing i just wasted all
117
that time doing nothing but unless you can look at that reality and use guilt as feedback
118
to push yourself forward rather than the shame as identity
119
if you can't do it you're going to be stuck
120
so you got to realize you're capable of way much than
121
you know you're just afraid to admit it that's gonna suck
122
it's gonna hurt it's gonna be embarrassing to look back at your life
123
but you You need to be able to sit in that embarrassment and look at yourself and be like, I am embarrassed of who I used to be.
124
That's why I'm not gonna be that person anymore.
125
It's time for me to fucking change my life and actually take action.
126
Oh, my God.
127
what does it cost long term if people keep acting from a position of fear
128
everything literally everything i feel like it's obvious to think
129
if you sit on the sideline your whole life it's a
130
direct path to a hollow empty life i also think people do not understand that
131
getting shit done discipline in general is a perishable skill i have learned this myself
132
as a slap in the face since retiring from the olympia
133
it's like cool i can say i did all these things
134
and i'm capable of discipline and holding myself accountable for a long period of time
135
and accomplishing incredible things
136
but unless i'm putting new things into action my discipline is fading entropy rules our world
137
if you're not actively trying to grow or move forward you're getting worse.
138
There is no standing still.
139
Standing still means everything you want is moving away from you.
140
There's two things actually from the Bible that I pulled inspiration from.
141
The idea that those who have more will be given more in abundance
142
and those who have less will have it all taken away from them.
143
Essentially it's saying if you have more and you do more with it you're going to get more.
144
You're going to be rewarded for enjoying and appreciating and putting into action the fruit that you've been given.
145
And if you have a little bit and you sit there
146
and you don't take action on it you will lose even
147
that little bit because that's just the way the universe works
148
if you have the potential take responsibility of
149
that take action on it put the pressure on yourself of what
150
that means to progress and move forward
151
and then you will be given more it doesn't have to
152
be perfect you have to have it all figured you just need to start taking action to understand
153
that what you have you should be grateful for the little bits
154
that you do have use it
155
and you will get more from it you can't sit still otherwise you're literally falling behind
156
Oh, my God.
157
What's the thing that people are really protecting by staying on the sidelines?
158
The life that they currently know.
159
I feel like they're protecting themselves from the fear of losing what they think is everything.
160
And I'll go back to an example of my life on this.
161
When I was in high school through university, loved to party, going out with the boys was priority numero uno.
162
We were just having a good time and
163
when my bodybuilding crew started to take off
164
and i realized it was taking away from
165
that i still lived in a house of five guys who
166
partied three to four times a week up late sleeping in eating whatever they wanted a w in canada
167
and when i decided that i wanted to get to the olympia
168
and then win olympia and then take it further
169
and further i had to make the decision that that life
170
that i knew the partying those friends with people my brothers
171
who i love i had such a good time with trust
172
me like those days are fun i had to choose in
173
the middle of it in the peak at the age of 20 to step away from all
174
that and let go of all
175
that to move across the country to leave those friends behind
176
for them to go out without me to be sleeping in bed at 8 p .m
177
while i hear them partying downstairs to be letting go of all
178
that and it's scary because it's all
179
that you know it feels like you're losing your friends not everyone is going to support you
180
and your goals and it can make you feel extremely alone
181
if you're like i want to change this stuff i want
182
to get fit i'm 200 pounds overweight okay well i'm gonna
183
go to the gym that's not a change in your life
184
that's one small habit you have to change everything about you have to let go of everything
185
that made you into that person now to become someone new otherwise it's not going to happen
186
so what people are holding on to what they're protecting themselves is loss of identity loss of life that they currently know.
187
The only way to change is to let go.
188
How do you solve for people being complacent
189
and not taking risks in their life? i feel like this is always
190
that like debate of whether you need to take action first
191
or believe you can first because it's hard to take action
192
when you believe you can but you don't believe you can until you take action
193
so it's like a chicken with the egg scenario the reality is
194
that you have to want to be bad you have to
195
switch your mindset of like oh this is embarrassing to you know i actually want to be bad at this
196
because being bad at something means i'm taking action you can't
197
be bad at something you're not doing sitting on the couch doesn't mean you're bad at doesn't show you
198
that you're bad at tennis you have to get on the court
199
and try and play tennis to be bad at tennis
200
but from that point of action you're at least at a starting point which allows for progress.
201
When I first started bodybuilding, I knew I was good in the gym.
202
I could train alone at hours when no one was there until I was good, then I could train at busier times.
203
I kind of worked my way up into these things.
204
Eating and all the stuff is done in private.
205
You can practice posing in private.
206
The training, you can go to a gym when it's empty, but stepping on stage, there's no hiding from anyone from that.
207
So when I got to my first bodybuilding composition, I was backstage with my posing trunks on underneath, just like terrified.
208
I was like, oh my God, like didn't even know I had to tan.
209
They're like, you have to tan.
210
I'm like, do I have to get naked? like what do i do like
211
so much anxiety did all
212
that then i put my clothes back on i'm like sitting backstage
213
and i was a junior and men's open bodybuilding
214
and i was like why the fuck am i doing this
215
i don't know why i'm doing this i'm like just like
216
hadn't practiced posing in front of anyone i got on stage
217
and i blacked out like i don't remember being on stage i got off
218
and i was like i think i literally hit every pose like this just deer in headlights
219
and it scared the shit out of me
220
because it was putting myself in a very vulnerable position of
221
which i wasn't felt ready for it
222
but i made myself do it by taking small actions before of getting to the gym
223
when at least no one was there of eating the meals
224
when no one wasn't around of proving to myself i'm acting like a bodybuilder
225
so i'm going to get on a bodybuilding stage even
226
if i don't feel like it in
227
that moment at the end of the day it sounds trite
228
but you don't have to know the first step if you're like
229
if i want to be a bodybuilder find a gym that's empty at 9 p .m at night
230
and go train at 9 p .m at night
231
when no one's around and do that for a while
232
and then just see what happens from there you just have
233
to take a single step forward do fucking something other than
234
sitting on your phone scrolling at home wasting your fucking life away
235
because if you look at anyone that you look up to
236
and imagine them like look at the person you look up to the most
237
and imagine them at phone at home just scrolling on instagram like they're not doing
238
that you got to get out and take action before you believe you do and then start to believe you do
239
i feel like the one thing in order to push for action
240
and instill belief because if you can combine those two things that's what you need right now
241
if you could do one thing literally tonight sit down
242
and define your future self or if you can't think of yourself like
243
that define like your ideal man of the person who could achieve the goals
244
that you want to do what is he working towards
245
and how does he act what are his values his belief systems redefine what this man is
246
and then define what he's capable of and if you go through all that stuff
247
and you read it you might be getting jacked up creating
248
this character in your mind you're like he could accomplish even more than i could have thought
249
that i wanted to accomplish
250
if he did these things well start doing those things in
251
your day it could be the smallest things like i said
252
earlier is he skipping the gym sleeping in late eating shitty food all these things probably not
253
so define what this person's values are and then take action on it
254
if you take one thing i would say at least to do
255
that process experiment whatever you would want to call it i've honestly done it before in therapy in different ways
256
and then it inspired me to do it myself in other ways
257
and i want to do it again now that my life has changed
258
so much so i'm a believer in that kind of stuff
259
but being able to visualize
260
and define the person you want to be to get where you want to go
261
so big thing but at the end of the day stop wasting your life sitting around watching other people live your life.
262
Go live it yourself.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
