You know when you start thinking about something and you just get unnecessarily pissed off?

That's how I am right now.

So excuse me if I yell at you for a second.

It's nothing personal.

I just am going to be completely honest with you.

I want to start by asking you a question,

and that question is, do you really think that successful people hated their entire journey to becoming successful?

Do you really think that they had to force themselves to do something

that they didn't want to do for a long period of time until they reach that point of success?

Or did they love what they do?

Did they love eating healthy?

Did they love working on their business?

Did they love doing the hard things?

If you feel like you have to force yourself to do something to achieve your goals, you're going to lose.

And there is something very wrong with the way that you're going about achieving your goals.

Because for successful people, loving it, loving the pain, even though it's not pain when you love it,

loving the process, the hard thing is their competitive advantage and you don't have that.

That's why you're going to lose.

And that's what most people get wrong about self -discipline is they hear

that word self -discipline

and then like a montage of David Goggin starts running through their mind of just like running

and like reaching this point where they just hate their lives and then like dying, I guess.

You think that discipline is about like lashing yourself to do something

that you don't want to do to achieve this goal that is probably wrong in the first place.

Because if you don't actually want to achieve the goal or care about the goal, why are you doing it?

And if you think about that, then you'll come to the conclusion, oh, someone else wanted me to achieve that goal.

I don't really want to achieve it.

Or your priorities are just completely messed up and in the toilet.

And we need to, that's what we're going to talk about today is like how

to go through this process to make self -discipline seamless

and get very clear on what it is that you want so that you can do these things without effort.

And as an example, I'm a pretty fit guy, right?

I eat healthy 99 % of the time.

I go to the gym.

I work on my business every morning.

I do all of these things that people see as crazy

or extreme or as hard when they're not difficult at all for me.

And so I thought through that.

I'm like, why is it so easy for me to do these things?

But for other people, it's like the hardest thing in the world.

It's like pulling teeth.

You just can't get them to do it.

They say, oh, I want to, I want to get jacked.

I want to lose weight.

I want to make more money.

And then you tell them exactly what to do.

You give them the complete roadmap and then they do nothing about it or they come up with these excuses like,

oh, I had to go to work.

Oh, I had to do this.

I had to do this.

What do you mean you had to?

You have to go to work, but you don't have to work on the goals.

You're trying to escape this life that you don't want to live,

but you don't have to do the things that lead to the life you want.

That's what your psychology is in the toilet.

You have no idea what's going on in your head.

And once you figure that out, like we're going to talk about, you'll be able to reprogram that into loving doing the hard thing,

or at least what you thought was the hard thing.

So if the people that you label as self -discipline, like David Goggins or some entrepreneur or some CEO is self -disciplined,

but they love doing the thing, then that points to the first insight that you really need to internalize.

And this may not make sense.

You are already disciplined toward the exact goals you are supposed to be because that's how the mind works

Goals are conditioned into your mind by your environment

Your goals become your filter for reality shaping what you focus on and what you forget

Your brain helps you notice and remember information that helps achieve those goals

and naturally you act toward those goals and your identity solidifies

So if doing the hard thing is actually hard for you

It's that there's another goal in your mind that is

Overtaking the goal that you actually want to achieve

and that's usually conditioned into you when you were a child

and to save you A lot of the pain of actually thinking through this

Most people have the goal of staying the same because that's survival.

That's just human nature

You want to stay the same and that's very important to you

and any other goal that comes in conflict with that will lose

So when it comes time to build the business

or talk to a new person or get in shape

and then you find yourself not doing the things that lead to achieving those goals,

you can peel back the layers and realize that you are working to stay the same.

You are doing everything in your power.

You are extremely self -disciplined at being the same person that you're trying to change.

And that's what creates this dissonance

and just gets you stuck in this limbo phase for multiple years until you do what we're going to talk about.

So the first part of this out of four parts

that we're going to talk about is that discipline is a feature of identity.

As an example, someone who deeply identifies, whether they know it or not,

as a good student, which is usually the process of conditioning when you're a kid,

your parents just force it into you that you need to go to school, get good grades, study, and that's the only thing you know.

Those good students, the students that you know in school that you would consider a good student,

It's not hard for them to study for 12 hours a day, right?

Their survival is at stake

Their their parents goals implanted in their head are at stake

There's a lot of psychology going on here that makes it easy for them to study for 12 hours a day

But you can't because that's not the goal that is intertwined with your identity

Now I want you to think of a bodybuilder who had

this shift in their life where they went through a breakup or they were really struggling with low self -confidence,

they don't struggle to show up to the gym every day and eat healthy.

It's actually a part of their life.

It's a part of who they are.

100

It's not painful for them to do so.

101

In fact, it's the other way around.

102

It's painful for them not to do so.

103

I was on a podcast with Mike Thurston the other day, and we kind of resonated or related on this fact that

104

when we travel somewhere or we go to or we don't have options to eat healthy, that's painful.

105

That's what throws our mind off.

106

Because if we don't eat healthy, then our mind or our identity is threatened.

107

Our survival is threatened.

108

I've talked about this multiple times, but humans don't only survive or reproduce on the physical level.

109

We don't only have physical sex and have kids.

110

We survive on the mimetic level, the conceptual level, our identity, what we associate with, what we consider who we are.

111

And if you're a bodybuilder and then that identity, your mental body is threatened, then you feel that stress.

112

You feel that survival response that makes you work in the opposite direction.

113

So closer to the end of this video, we need to understand how to redo that process, how to change who we are,

114

because that's going to determine how difficult it is to do hard things or achieve the goals we want.

115

Now, one more example to make it very interesting is

116

that a gamer doesn't find it difficult to stare at a screen and perform,

117

perform like you would as an athlete playing a sport.

118

They don't find it difficult to perform for 12 hours a day, sitting down, staring at a screen, playing video games.

119

It's very easy to them because that's who they are.

120

And if it's threatened, if their identity as a gamer is threatened, you see what happens in that case, right?

121

You threaten a gamer and they just use all of this lingo on you and start trolling you and whatever.

122

That's a survival mechanism, right?

123

And they don't understand that because they don't want to understand that.

124

Their mind doesn't care.

125

And this goes for little things too, like a person who loves a specific TV show will go out of their way to be self -disciplined,

126

arguably, in staying up late and binge -watching the episode.

127

And someone who procrastinates their work or what they're studying

128

because it doesn't align with who they are will endlessly scroll on their phone

129

because their goal is to not achieve the goal.

130

These people, the gamers, the procrastinators, the binge watchers, the people that are doing the mediocre habits that everyone talks about, they're not lazy.

131

They're actually arguably self -disciplined because that's what self -discipline is, right?

132

It's persistent effort toward a goal.

133

And most average people are extremely persistent toward the goal of a mediocre life.

134

And the simple fact that they aren't aware of that is why they're doing it.

135

And I'm not talking about a surface level awareness here of like, oh, I don't like my life.

136

I'm talking about a very deep and painful experience that makes you

137

so disgusted with the mediocre life that you're heading towards that that just stops becoming an option.

138

When you look at any successful person, you realize that they went through this.

139

They hit this rock bottom.

140

They may not have been like poor or struggling to survive or whatever it is, but a psychological rock bottom, not a physical.

141

Psychological rock bottom where they hit that they just hated the thought of ending up like everyone else

142

And then they changed in an instant and they loved doing the thing that people consider to be self -disciplined

143

Now the objection here is like but dan those things are comfortable playing a game is comfortable

144

They don't take effort to do or there's the immediate gratification and sure but writing every morning is very comfortable to me.

145

It gives me immediate gratification.

146

You just haven't turned the goals you want to achieve into a game.

147

It's more painful for me not to write every morning than it is to write every morning.

148

It's more painful for me not to go to the gym

149

or get 10 ,000 steps a day

150

or do whatever it is than it is to go to the gym or get 10 ,000 steps, or eat healthy.

151

And even as an example of this, I've tried to play video games like I did when I was a kid.

152

Like I'm not judging anyone here who plays a bunch of video games.

153

Like I was the same person.

154

I hit 10th prestige in Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2

155

because I was out sick from school for a week and had pneumonia and was,

156

that's all I did all day and just had 12 pack of Dr. Pepper near me.

157

I tried to do that again a few years ago because the new

158

Call of Duty came out, I downloaded it.

159

I started playing it, but it was just too much.

160

Like I was there and it just wasn't fun.

161

I would play a match or two and then it's like I have something better that I could be doing.

162

So most people have it backwards.

163

They start working on their goals and then they think I have something better that I could be doing.

164

You're missing the psychology of skill and challenge here.

165

When you turn your goals into a game, you don't just take on a level 50 because you get overwhelmed

166

but you also don't play a level one

167

because then you get bored you think you have something better

168

you could be doing human behavior is teleological cybernetic the mind is a goal achieving machine

169

we interpret the world with our identity as the lens

170

and the goals conditioned into our mind shape the behavior

171

that forges who we are if we can understand this process

172

or reverse engineer it we can leverage it to achieve nearly impossible goals the second part to this

173

that we need to understand is that limbo is the laboratory.

174

Feeling lost, being stuck in limbo, just like you're floating off in space.

175

You're not working towards the life you want, and you're kind of tired of the life that you're living.

176

The reason you want to be disciplined is that you've exhausted your current stage of life.

177

You're starting to notice that you've stalled out.

178

You're starting to notice that every day is the same as the last.

179

You're starting to notice that if you keep doing the same things, you won't achieve the life you want.

180

You're in limbo and you don't want to be there anymore.

181

It's painful, but you misinterpret that pain and think of the first solution that comes to mind.

182

Be more disciplined.

183

This is where most people get stuck in a loop of forcing themselves to do something

184

they don't want to do just to quit two weeks later and go back to the life they swore against.

185

Pain is the signal that change is happening.

186

So the way out of this is to lean in.

187

You have to become hyper aware of how painful your current situation is.

188

What you're trying to do here is you're trying to make

189

the pain of where you are outweigh any other pain in your life.

190

And once you do that, discipline, as you define it, is no longer painful because you don't have to force yourself to do it.

191

It's the thing you want to do when you see no other option

192

but to do that thing and you have complete clarity

193

that it will take you away from the life

194

that you are now disgusted with that's how you change your identity

195

so step one is to write out everything you hate about your current life

196

and i don't want to hear about positive thinking right now

197

because you're wrong and exactly what kind of life you will have

198

if you don't change those things

199

so you have this paper you have this note you have this document of everything

200

that you could come up with about the experiences you don't want to experience again,

201

the job you hate, things in your childhood that you don't want to experience again, all of these things, anything that can come to mind,

202

put it on paper.

203

Now, you're doing this at once.

204

This is going to take 15 to 30 minutes, and that's not enough time to really dig deep and excavate the painful experiences.

205

So when you have this paper, keep it somewhere, on your desk, wherever, on your phone.

206

If it's accessible, perfect.

207

Then you take a week and you just contemplate it.

208

You think about it all the time.

209

You go on a walk, even during conversations.

210

You go about your everyday life and you notice things from

211

that life that you don't want to be there and you really dig deep into them.

212

You research them further.

213

Where is this leading my life to?

214

What are the negative aspects of these things?

215

You can kind of start to condition how your mind views the world because this kind of sucks,

216

but it's also a very cool thing because you have control over it.

217

But imagine that you find a new food like avocados and you're like, hmm, what are the benefits of avocados?

218

And then you look those up and you're like, oh, I should eat more avocados now.

219

But if you were to look up the opposite, the negative, you would probably find something

220

that would make you hate the thought of eating avocados and then you would never eat them again.

221

Now avocados is a stupid example here, but you can do that for almost anything.

222

This is why the diet and nutrition world is all messed up is

223

because you can find negative and positive aspects of everything

224

and what you choose to focus on determines what you're probably going to eat in your diet.

225

So if we take that diet and apply it to your entire life,

226

you look up the negatives and you become very aware of where those things lead.

227

You have a lot of control over how your mind perceives reality to move you closer towards your goals.

228

and love the things that you want to do.

229

Now, since thinking through this and excavating this, well, one, thinking comes from questioning.

230

Thinking comes from conversation with yourself.

231

So if you want help with this, a good way to use AI is just this,

232

not having AI tell you what to do with your life,

233

but having it question you in a thoughtful way so that it can uncover what you don't want out of life.

234

I'll leave a link in the description for a prompt that I've made, The life reset prompt you can download that if you want to

235

so Limbo is the laboratory that was part two is that you like pain is a signal of change

236

You need to become absolutely fed up with where you're at in life

237

So you're fed up with where you are now.

238

What how do we become disciplined?

239

So part three is that

240

Discipline isn't built.

241

It's discovered i've been training in the gym for about 12 years now

242

And I posted actually one daily routine of mine where you can see what I look like

243

if you want I'm wearing a XL plus oversized shirt.

244

I'm six five, right?

245

I may look kind of lanky, but one day we'll do a Physique reveal i'm in a cut right now.

246

It's going really well I'm going to be shredded soon, but that's aside the point.

247

So i've been in the gym for 12 years

248

I've been writing online for about five i've been hitting 10k steps a day for about four years.

249

I have various habits that make people think like, how do you do that so consistently?

250

And for all of those habits, the first time that I tried them,

251

I fell off multiple times because I didn't hate the life or I hated the life,

252

but I wasn't deeply aware of how much I hated the life

253

that I was living to the point where I would change.

254

But I remember one of the first times that I was like invited to go on a walk with someone.

255

And I'm like, go on a walk?

256

Like that's for senile old people.

257

And the thing here is I was confirming the thoughts that helped me achieve the goal of staying the same.

258

I didn't want to do those things, but felt like I had to.

259

And when I finally formed the habit, it was different than the other times when I tried to force it.

260

They weren't hard to do.

261

They were the byproduct of experimentation and discovery.

262

All of those habits became a part of my life for four specific reasons.

263

The first is that I was deeply aware of a painful problem in my life.

264

Two, I searched for evidence to support a desirable future version of myself.

265

Three is I changed my physical and digital environments to solidify my new identity.

266

And four, I blocked out time during the week to do those things as

267

if I were going to be doing them for the rest of my life.

268

The first step there is to become deeply aware of a painful problem in your life.

269

You do not understand how powerful

270

that can be to become deeply aware of a problem because most people don't want to solve their problems.

271

They don't realize that life is just a series of problems and you build solutions and you get better.

272

That's how you make more money.

273

You solve your own problems.

274

The way you solve a problem is with a project.

275

The project is a solution.

276

You can turn that into a product and put it online.

277

That's what fitness people do.

278

That's what business people do.

279

That's what anyone creating a product has done.

280

They solve a painful problem in their own life or someone else's.

281

If you just solve your own problems for life, just continue and not get distracted from the series of problems

282

that are laid out in front of you from shallow to deep.

283

Your shallow problems right now are get in the gym, get fit, eat healthy, you're overweight, you feel sluggish, you lack energy,

284

you don't have money, start a business, you solve the problems in your life,

285

and then you have experience to the point where you can make more money.

286

As an example of this entire process, when I was in middle school,

287

I was the tall and super lanky dude and I didn't like how I looked.

288

I felt awkward in my own skin and I lacked self -confidence.

289

So I used that pain to educate myself on fitness and nutrition.

290

I even remember reading this book that was called Nutrient Timing for Peak Performance on the Bus Ride to Middle School.

291

Like who reads

292

Nutrient Timing for Peak Performance on a bus ride to middle school?

293

I started doing push -ups in my room.

294

I started going to after -school weights

295

and my love for the gym just slowly picked up from there now to change my environment

296

when i was in middle school i couldn't really change my physical environment right

297

i lived with my parents i had certain friends i was in this specific physical location

298

but the beautiful thing about the modern world is

299

that you have the internet you can literally curate your digital environment

300

that creates and programs your identity by immersing yourself in the right information when i would get home from school,

301

I would go straight to my computer

302

and just watch the two to three fitness vloggers at the time when YouTube was just starting out.

303

And that changed my entire life.

304

They'd make videos about their programs or certain exercises to try or certain tips.

305

And every time I watched, I had this novel hit of dopamine because I had something new to try.

306

I had some new knowledge to experiment with.

307

I could go to the gym, try the new exercise, try the new program,

308

stick to it see progress create this feedback loop fall in love with it eat correctly so on and so forth.

309

The same with nutrition.

310

You're probably not sticking to your nutrition

311

because you're not surrounded by the people in your physical

312

or digital space that give you these new tips and tricks and knowledge that you can implement and see direct feedback from.

313

This is another topic for another video, but daily learning and self -education is so freaking and important because all of these things overlap and intertwined.

314

Just treat daily self -education toward your goals as a habit and your life will change.

315

So this entire time, I didn't just pick a random diet

316

or go to the gym and start doing random exercises because that's extremely chaotic.

317

The mind craves order, psychology, hierarchy of goals, turning your life into a video game, everything that we've talked about before.

318

I wasn't trying to force myself to doing something random

319

because I had clarity and novelty and dopamine that was leading to me doing something.

320

The problem here is that one, most people aren't hyper aware of a painful problem in their life,

321

so their mind doesn't release dopamine at the site of a potential solution, and two, they learn without experimentation,

322

so they never make the progress necessary to act as a feedback loop that keeps them motivated.

323

So far, we know that limbo is the laboratory, we know that self -discipline isn't built,

324

it's discovered, and now we need to understand how to engineer an identity.

325

And we're going to kind of rapid fire this, and you can do with it what you will.

326

Step one is recognition.

327

Who you are determines what you consider important.

328

You must first recognize that you are pursuing a series of goals, whether you are conscious of them or not.

329

Those goals frame how you interpret reality, and you usually notice things that confirm your current way of life.

330

The goals that your mind operates on stem from your conditioning.

331

This is the first thing that you need to become aware of.

332

And your conditioning stems from your environment, your parents, your teachers, your peers, your culture, the goals that society gave you when you were a child.

333

When you turn 15, 16, 17, 18, you can start to think, why am I on this life trajectory?

334

Did I even choose any of this?

335

And the answer is probably no, unless your parents were extremely high agency

336

and taught you how to navigate your teachers and peers

337

while you were young step two is strategic dissonance to avoid getting trapped in a state of feeling lost

338

or limbo you let the divide between who you are

339

and who you want to be grow wider

340

you cultivate dissatisfaction with your current lifestyle by noticing where you will end up

341

if you don't change by becoming aware of the problems in your life

342

you prime your mind for pattern recognition that's what your mind is a pattern recognition machine.

343

That's what leads to good dopamine.

344

Your brain starts to confirm that change is the right thing to do, and it helps you notice information and conversations and books

345

and social media content and other things that help you achieve your goals.

346

This is kind of funny because in order to learn something new,

347

you don't need to take a course on it or read a book about it or read something specific,

348

an article about how to do a specific thing.

349

That's helpful, right?

350

There's nothing wrong with those.

351

But by simply having this goal that you deeply care about, you'll achieve it because that's the thing on your mind.

352

That's what's framing how you perceive reality.

353

That's what's framing what you pull out of situations.

354

One person can read a book and their goal is to get a job

355

and they're going to pull information from that book that relates to getting a better job.

356

There's a person who is losing weight and you can read a spirituality book

357

and that spirituality book is going to be framed from the goal that they're trying to achieve, right?

358

It's going to give them the mental and spiritual strategies to, let's say, deal with the low energy that comes from being deep in a cut.

359

If you read

360

The Power of Now, when you're prepping for a bodybuilding competition, that's going to help you manage the emotions that come with that.

361

But a person who is really struggling to start a business, it's going to help them in that case.

362

That's what I mean by the goal frames your perception.

363

So another thing there is that if you're not getting anything from reading or from watching podcasts or whatever it may be,

364

and you're just watching them for entertainment, it's usually because you're not trying to pursue a meaningful and self -generated goal.

365

Now, step three is environment engineering.

366

Unfollow people who don't put out information that helps you achieve a better life.

367

Throw away the food that you allow yourself to eat at 3 a .m.

368

Pull out a paper and map out exactly what you're going to do that week down to the hour.

369

Review and iterate every week.

370

You need that feedback loop.

371

Immerse yourself in the people, places, and things that give you new things to try that can help you achieve your goals.

372

The little novel tactics, things to experiment with.

373

Follow new accounts, even if you disagree with them or don't like them as a person, but their information helps you achieve your goals.

374

Scroll through Amazon until you find a book that sounds interesting.

375

Scroll through YouTube until you break out of your normal algorithm and can start curating another one.

376

Or don't go onto algorithmic social media in general and only go based off of search.

377

So only search YouTube videos.

378

Intention is what matters here.

379

Intention is what are you stretching towards?

380

That's the Latin origination of it is what are you stretching towards?

381

That's what intention is.

382

What goal are you achieving?

383

Is that top of mind?

384

When you do something intentionally, you're thinking about what you're going to do.

385

Does it help me achieve my goal?

386

No, don't do it.

387

Intention is you giving a direction for your mind to rewire itself toward.

388

Step four is self -experimentation because problems that aren't solved through experimentation aren't solved for good.

389

Rather than being assigned another goal, you try everything until you find the one thing that you can't pull yourself away from.

390

Then you repeat that process until it becomes who you are.

391

Now, if you want more on self -discipline, self -improvement, business, all of those things,

392

human potential, finding, figuring out what you are good at in life, so on and so forth, subscribe to my sub stack.

393

I send out two free letters a week on all of those things.

394

And if you want to continue watching, you can watch my last video titled, you have 36 months to make it.

395

That'll be up somewhere on the screen.

396

So with that, like subscribe while you're here, it's just a button click.

397

Thank you.

398

See you in the next video.

399

Bye.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
