1
I want you to tell me if any of these sound like you.
2
1. You feel like you've been lied to about what a good life looks like.
3
You're pursuing a goal that sounds nice when you mention it at dinner with grandma, or a goal that wouldn't make your parents think you're a disappointment, and you really don't see it going anywhere.
4
If you ignore that feeling, you wake up 10 years later with a degree, a decent job, and a never -ending sense of despair that you'll never be able to chase your own dreams.
5
2. You're productive, but not actually making progress toward anything.
6
You wake up early, you listen to podcasts, you journal, you lift, your calendar is full, but you don't really know where you're going.
7
Give it five years and you'll still be figuring out what to do with your life.
8
Three, you're ambitious, but stay quiet because it sounds embarrassing to your friends and family.
9
You want a unique life.
10
You don't want to fit in.
11
But when people ask about your future, you water it down so nobody laughs at it.
12
You get stuck performing mental masturbation.
13
You feel special for wanting to be unique, but you still do the same thing as everyone else.
14
Nobody wants to end up in any of those three situations.
15
This video will change that for you.
16
Because one of my favorite things to do, it seems like a stupid pastime, but I love to study the habits,
17
actions, and thought processes of both successful people and mediocre people.
18
And that's all success really is, is doing less of what the mediocre people do and doing more of what the successful people do.
19
And the next few videos on this channel will actually be dedicated to all of that.
20
This is just the first one.
21
So when we reverse engineer the habits, actions, and thoughts of people who have done the impossible, like Elon Musk or Steve Jobs, and any of the other greatest creatives,
22
thinkers, and builders of the past, there is one pattern I've noticed between them all.
23
Their goals are delusional.
24
That's the key to their success.
25
And that's exactly what we're going to go over.
26
First, why average goals lead to mediocrity and failure, the psychology of delusional goals and why they work and why you need them,
27
how to enter the same reality as ultra -successful people, and of course, how to achieve what most people think is impossible.
28
So that's what we're going to start with, why realistic goals lead to failure and mediocrity.
29
And you fall into this category by default.
30
Everyone falls into this category by default.
31
And I think it's best illustrated by an Elon Musk quote, the most common error of a smart engineer is to optimize a thing that should not exist.
32
So you have goals, even if you didn't set them.
33
That's just how the mind works.
34
And if you become aware of this or understand how your mind works, you can quickly see why you or other people aren't able to stick to the goals that they set.
35
And we're not talking about some New Year's resolution
36
or some shallow goal that you set because you looked in the mirror and felt bad about yourself.
37
So you wanted to go to the gym or start eating healthy
38
and you eat one healthy meal and then you quit immediately because you just forgot about it.
39
Something more important stole your attention, like something funny on your phone.
40
Or in other words, because another unconscious goal was more important than the one you set
41
and you're just not aware of it.
42
And that unconscious goal is usually convenience and comfort.
43
That's what you want.
44
Or you just don't want to draw attention to yourself.
45
So you stop eating healthy or going to the gym because secretly, and even without admitting it to yourself, you don't want to stand out.
46
So we're not talking about those kinds of goals.
47
We're talking about how your mind is like a heat -seeking missile.
48
Every thought you have and every action you take is aiming toward a goal.
49
It just makes sense, right?
50
I'm looking toward this camera because I have the goal of creating a video.
51
I may be tapping my foot because I have the goal of just not being bored.
52
It's every single little thing.
53
Everything is goal directed or directed by stimuli, which we'll talk about in a second.
54
But you have to understand that your mind is optimizing for a goal
55
that you probably never chose and that you don't even know is there.
56
Or someone else assigned you the goal, like go to school, get a job, retire at 65, because that's what you were raised to do.
57
That's what you were conditioned to do and you never questioned it.
58
And so those sit in the back of your head and silently guide every action that you take without you realizing it.
59
So I want you to actually take a second and think about that because this is massive.
60
This could mean that the entire direction of your life
61
and where you end up in life is completely out of your control or at least out of your awareness.
62
Every single thing you think or do is aiming toward a goal.
63
Do not forget about that.
64
So here's how it goes.
65
First, you're born.
66
Your first goal is survival.
67
And then your parents have been thinking about what goals they want you to pursue for quite some time now.
68
They want what's best for you, so to say, but really they want what's best for them.
69
They want you to be a respectable young adult that doesn't embarrass them.
70
And then your parents teach you how to walk, how to communicate, and then eventually what their version of success for you looks like,
71
which is usually the goals that society passed down to them unless your parents questioned them or your parents were high agency.
72
So go to school, get a job, praise your God.
73
And so that's what you do.
74
You go to school and then you go to college because that's just what's next.
75
You don't really make that decision.
76
That's the only decision you can make.
77
And then you get the job, you hit the milestones, and you check the boxes.
78
And then after almost a quarter of your life, you start to wonder if this was what you wanted in the first place, which is kind of not cool.
79
A quarter of your life is gone.
80
And so the default state is having average goals and just going with the flow.
81
And if you understand entropy, you understand how disastrous this can be.
82
Entropy illustrates that systems trend toward disorder.
83
Now, applied to the mind, psychic entropy, psychic isn't some fancy word like you're moving water bottles with your mind.
84
It literally just means of the mind.
85
It's the mind.
86
So psychic entropy means that your mind and therefore your life drifts toward disorder and chaos.
87
And you can see this everywhere.
88
This is just what happens.
89
If you don't water a plant, it dies.
90
If you don't clean your room, it slowly gets more disorganized with time.
91
If you don't maintain habits of personal development, your mind slowly devolves into chaos.
92
And so this is what happens on the default path is you have these average goals that you didn't choose, that you didn't set.
93
You don't put any effort into them because you don't actually care about them.
94
And then you eventually find yourself in a rut.
95
Everyone experiences that.
96
That's why this is such an evergreen video.
97
This shouldn't be a thing.
98
Like you should want better for yourself.
99
But that's also just the nature of reality.
100
And I do think it's there for a reason, because at some point a system becomes unstable and a new, more ordered structure must emerge.
101
So when you think of water that is just pouring out of a faucet, let's say into a bathtub, eventually it gets so chaotic that a whirlpool starts to form,
102
a beautiful ordered whirlpool.
103
So in your life, you hit a point where the lower part of you wants to stay the same
104
and the higher part wants something more, and it feels like you're being ripped in half.
105
That is a signal to completely turn your life around.
106
That's what my next newsletter is actually going to be about, is kind of how to launch out of a very bad position in your life
107
because that's the best time to do it.
108
So the reason most average and realistic goals lead to mediocrity and failure is because of how you choose them.
109
First, you look at what you think is possible
110
or what you know is possible
111
and what you know at this point in your life is really only told to you by your parents
112
or your teachers or what other average people do.
113
And then from those possible goals, you water it down a bit so that people won't laugh at you for trying to improve yourself.
114
Because whenever you try to improve yourself, crabs in the bucket mentality, all of your friends are going to be like, oh, you should drink this beer.
115
You shouldn't stick to your health goals.
116
Like, oh, come on, just lighten up, live a little bit.
117
And so you want to avoid that because you know it's going to happen.
118
So you water down the goals and don't take them seriously in the first place.
119
And a goal only feels realistic if it fits the life that your parents, teachers, and friends already expected you to have.
120
In other words, your mind is a cage.
121
And if you keep choosing to live in that cage, you'll never have the chance to notice a potentially life -changing opportunity.
122
That's what a lot of this video is about, is about noticing.
123
And if you don't notice that opportunity, there's no way you can act on it.
124
And again, your life just slowly gets worse and worse
125
and worse until the pain becomes so great that you either get crushed or you finally decide to act on it.
126
So delusional goals, what are they?
127
Why do they matter?
128
Are they actually delusional?
129
We'll start with a quote to transition from Maxwell Maltz.
130
The man who conceives himself to be a failure type person
131
will find some way to fail in spite of all his good intentions or willpower, even if the opportunity is literally dumped in his lap.
132
The person who conceives himself to be a victim of injustice, one who is meant to suffer, will invariably find circumstances to verify his opinions.
133
Now another thing I like to think about is why humans are unique or why humans are different from animals.
134
And humans, they're not unique in the sense that they have memory
135
or a different type of consciousness than animals or more refined intelligence than animals, even though those play a role.
136
They're unique because they constantly simulate the future to steer the present.
137
You think about the future more than you do the past.
138
Because usually you aren't really thinking about the past, you're thinking about how the past impacts the future and what you're trying to avoid based on the past.
139
And the future is what causes your present behavior.
140
Again, all behavior is mostly goal -directed.
141
So contrary to, I guess, popular belief is your actions do not create the future.
142
You create the future first and your actions follow.
143
So all of this falls under the umbrella of selective attention, Meaning your brain either gets pulled by stimuli or directed by a goal.
144
And when you focus on one thing, that means, by definition, you're not focused on the 99 .99 % of other things you could be focusing on.
145
Your attention is goal -directed rather than tossed around like a ragdoll looking for the next cheap dopamine hit.
146
That's the important part, because delusional goals force this.
147
If you're focused on one overarching delusional goal and only focused on that thing, then everything else is noise.
148
So I want you to imagine two different people with drastically different goals Person one, Tommy, has the same goal as almost everyone else.
149
Go to school, get an education, get a decent job so he can finally afford a nice apartment and acquire enough material status symbols to attract a mate.
150
Person two, Johnny, has a goal that seems impossible.
151
Build a content business that makes $100K a month in six months.
152
As one example that I guess many in my audience can relate with.
153
Now, will Tommy ever have the possibility of making more money than what a decent job would pay him?
154
Will Tommy ever learn something outside of school that allows him to pursue a more lucrative opportunity?
155
No, because that's not what his attention is selecting for.
156
He could come across life -changing information
157
and his mind will consider it noise just because it's not necessary to achieve the goal he's pursuing.
158
Johnny, on the other hand, cannot think like the average person.
159
To achieve that delusional goal, he realizes that most actions he's taking are completely useless.
160
So a properly set delusional goal pushes your brain into the unknown.
161
Everything you knew before is off the table.
162
You can't use it.
163
And what this does is it accelerates neuroplasticity.
164
Consistency reinforces pathways in your brain, but novelty and challenge stimulate learning and change faster.
165
So flipping the switch
166
and going all in on a goal throws your brain into an environment where it has no choice
167
but to rewire fast and the new behavior becomes your new baseline.
168
And even better, many have experienced this in short bursts of their life, is that this is when the five intrinsic drivers of flow and obsession come into play,
169
which create a blissful quality of life.
170
I mean, it's the flow state.
171
It's the peak human experience.
172
And those five drivers are one, curiosity, which is the desire to explore the unknown, learn how to change, and fill knowledge gaps.
173
And this results in good dopamine from novelty and nirepinephrine, which heightens attention, preparing you to learn.
174
The second is passion, so an intense enthusiasm is built for the path that allows you to change your life.
175
This results in more good dopamine and norepinephrine.
176
The next is purpose, which is the feeling that your actions contribute to something larger than yourself.
177
Achieving goals results in more dopamine and reinforces behavior.
178
Serotonin stems from significance and belonging.
179
Oxytocin stems from connection.
180
The next is autonomy, which is the desire to direct your own life and work, to control your choices, actions, and environment, which results in yet again more dopamine and a reduction in cortisol,
181
the stress from feeling put in a box, allowing for creative decision -making.
182
And then mastery, the process of learning and growing is its own reward.
183
This results in sustainable good dopamine that keeps you in the game, keeps you playing.
184
And so that's kind of what we're aiming for here is you throw yourself into the unknown, you become curious, and maybe you become curious before enough to throw yourself into the unknown,
185
and then you generate passion, right?
186
You're not passionate about things until you've invested time and energy into them.
187
You can't find your passion because you haven't done anything.
188
You have to stick it out into the unknown until you become passionate about something.
189
And so many people get this wrong.
190
Like you don't have to be passionate about some fancy -pantsy artistic thing.
191
You can become passionate about literally anything.
192
As long as you dive deep enough into it
193
and learn enough about it so that you can kind of nerd out about it, that's where passion starts to come into play.
194
And then once you can tie that passion to a sense of purpose and eventually do your own thing with it, so autonomy and mastery, then that's the best way to live.
195
That's what I'm all about with the things that I teach.
196
And so this all sounds great, but I can hear your objection because I've faced the objection before myself.
197
And that objection is, but Dan, I've tried setting a goal like this before, and I didn't feel any of this.
198
I didn't feel motivated.
199
I just set the goal.
200
And yes, that's exactly what we're trying to avoid.
201
Your goal needs gravity.
202
It needs to pull you toward it.
203
It needs to be so strong that everything else in your life just becomes stupid and pointless.
204
And that's difficult to do.
205
That's why this is going to be a video series rather than just one video.
206
So for now, we just have to learn how to properly set a delusional goal.
207
And in reality, we're not setting a goal.
208
What we're doing is we're entering a new reality.
209
And that sounds woo -woo, that sounds weird, but that's what you're doing.
210
And so we want to enter the same reality as ultra -successful people.
211
And a quote that I love by Anthony DeMello is that every great idea starts out as blasphemy.
212
Everyone is going to think you're crazy because that idea scares them.
213
And I think the best way of illustrating this is with Steve Jobs.
214
So Steve Jobs would walk into a room, state an impossible deadline or an impossible product as if it were already decided.
215
He'd say, we'll ship it by January
216
and it will do this with such total conviction
217
that the room of engineers who knew it was impossible would leave believing it
218
and then build toward it like it was simply the plan.
219
This was Steve Jobs' reality distortion field.
220
Most people would dismiss it as charisma or manipulation
221
or him being an asshole when it was simply him re -aiming the room's attention.
222
Steve Jobs refused to be pulled by the stimuli of this timeline can't possibly work and overrode it with a future target.
223
Every brain in the room started selecting for a path instead of selecting for reasons it wouldn't work.
224
And that's just the thing.
225
Most people have a misunderstanding of what a goal is.
226
A goal is not a destination that you hit.
227
It's not climbing up the mountain and reaching the top.
228
A goal is a point of view.
229
Because when you're at the top of the mountain, now you have a completely different way of viewing everything underneath.
230
It doesn't matter that you reach the top.
231
Like you're going to go home and go to bed the same as you do every night.
232
It's just not that important, but what you gained was a vantage point.
233
You gained a new perspective.
234
So a goal is a filter that decides what your brain sees as important and what it sees as meaningless or unimportant.
235
So I hope that makes sense because that is just so powerful to understand that, is that you're not actually trying to reach the goal.
236
That's the kind of self -help dogma that so many people are indoctrinated with.
237
And then they go and turn against goals and say
238
that goal setting is useless and all you need is systems when a goal isn't meant to be hit.
239
It's a point of view.
240
It's what filters information.
241
It's what allows you to notice opportunities because your attention
242
and your focus is looking in a different direction from a different level.
243
In other words, you're in a different reality.
244
You're seeing different things that other people aren't seeing.
245
So to properly set this delusional goal and create your own reality distortion field, here's what you need to do.
246
And now would be a good time to pull out a notebook or open up Eden to take notes.
247
But step one is to install the point of view.
248
And there are exactly two things that you need to set a delusional goal.
249
The first is that the goal has to be so big that you think it's impossible.
250
And second, you need to set a timeline so short you also think that's impossible.
251
So a goal that's impossible and a timeline that's impossible to hit.
252
Because impossible is relative to your current situation.
253
It actually is possible, but if it were possible to you, then you wouldn't be operating in the unknown.
254
You wouldn't be doing anything new.
255
Now, if you don't know what goal to set or even what to do with your life, I find it helpful to just start with the most painful problem in your life
256
that would unlock other areas of your life.
257
That's like your main priority.
258
So for most people, that usually revolves around fitness or finances, because getting in the gym and dropping 20 pounds can do wonders for your confidence and energy and mental health,
259
making it easier to start turning your life around.
260
This was true for me, and it's true for a lot of business people that I talk to is that their gateway drug into business was fitness.
261
I was in the gym since I was like 14 or 15.
262
I had a little garage gym, which was really just a bench press and a captain's chair.
263
But I'd go out there because I just wanted veins in my arms.
264
It didn't matter how I started because I learned so much and I eventually fell in love with the process.
265
And it taught me the habits and behaviors that transfer over so well to something like business.
266
And obviously the energy and the confidence helped a lot with that.
267
On the finances side of things, making more money relieves stress, it opens your mind, and it lets you invest in other areas of your life.
268
And the specific how of achieving those goals doesn't need to happen yet, because simply by setting the goal, if it's a real goal that is on your mind all the time,
269
it's your main North Star, that allows your mind to identify finally and learn the how, because you don't know how to do it because you don't know where to find it.
270
Next, you need to ask yourself one question.
271
Is the goal and timeline you just set impossible for who you are now?
272
In other words, can your current approach get you there?
273
If yes, the goal is linear, not impossible.
274
Reject it and raise it further.
275
The goal must sit beyond your existing skills, habits, and assumptions of what's possible because that's exactly what creates a lens
276
that shows you a new reality instead of a to -do list.
277
Now last, the goal must be singular and self -chosen.
278
You cannot have competing goals.
279
That splits focus and doesn't lead to a point of view at all.
280
And it cannot be inherited from your parents, your culture, your industry, or your algorithm.
281
So the finished version of setting this goal is when you can say, I do this with total conviction, and you can instantly see that most of what you're currently doing has nothing to do with that goal.
282
And then I can also welcome you to the unknown, which is the most meaningful place to be.
283
Now, the second step is to set standards for what you don't do and stick to them.
284
Now, this should already be a thing if the goal is properly set.
285
But if the goal doesn't feel properly set, then you need to do this as well.
286
You need to define what you just don't do anymore.
287
So you have to audit your life, every habit, every project, every client, every relationship, routine, and obligation.
288
Do any of them help you reach the goal?
289
The answer is almost certainly no. And this is the hardest part
290
because you have to create a standard that you refuse to lower.
291
And these are the things that you no longer do, period.
292
You don't almost stop partying on the weekends or undercharging for your freelance services.
293
You completely eliminate that behavior.
294
And of course, this is easier said than done.
295
There's the sunk cost bias, like, oh, I've invested so much in this, it would just be irrational to stop doing it now, or fear, or just having a lack of accountability.
296
And that's because the mind is a self -deception machine.
297
That's what the mind does best, is it deceives you, and it lies to you.
298
And humans just love lying to themselves so they can stay the same.
299
The best way to frame this, in my opinion, is as a chance to practice brutal self -honesty and just rip multiple band -aids off.
300
So the finished version of raising your standards is that life feels dramatically simpler.
301
You just have less weight on your shoulders.
302
You have fewer things, fewer obligations, and fewer justifications that clog your mind and prevent you from action.
303
Now, step three is to focus on the highest leverage path available to you because you have the goals, now what do you do?
304
And this may not come immediately.
305
You probably have to experiment a little bit.
306
You just have to try things.
307
You have to learn and do until the path becomes clear
308
because your goal has created a frame that allows you to notice new opportunities.
309
And your standards subtract everything from your life that does not serve the goal, which creates space for your attention to actually move in the right direction.
310
So now you must accept that there are very few real paths to achieve the goal.
311
But you don't find the path, person, or opportunity fully formed.
312
For something like fitness, the delusional goal, which is again impossible outcome plus impossible deadline,
313
is to compete in a physique show in six months or squat 405 for the first time this year.
314
Like seriously, when was the last time you set a goal like this and actually pursued it?
315
Because for those who have set these types of goals, you understand that you look back on your life and you remember that point in your life.
316
You don't remember anything else.
317
You don't remember the things you do every day that you love so much, supposedly like playing video games and eating an entire pizza to yourself.
318
Like you just don't remember that because that's your normal life.
319
And as a tangent, it's just crazy how normal this is.
320
When I log on Instagram, I see this whole Doomsday thing, like how Dune Part 3 and Avengers Doomsday are coming out at the same time.
321
And so people have this schedule of, okay, we're going to watch Dune Part 3 at 10 a .m.
322
Then we're going to go to like McDonald's or Burger King or something.
323
And then we're going to watch the Avengers at 7 p .m.
324
And then we're going to play GTA 6 all night.
325
Now I get it.
326
I'm going to watch those two movies, But how this goes viral every single time like
327
that is the most shit and boring life that you could ever have And as I said, i'm gonna watch those movies I'm, not gonna play gta 6
328
because I don't have a console like I don't even care
329
to play it anymore It's genuinely not interesting to me
330
and i'm not saying that as like an oh i'm better
331
that it's just not interesting to me
332
But like every single day like that's your lifestyle every single
333
day something is wrong terribly wrong One of my friends is in crypto
334
and I didn't believe him when he first said this, but he was telling me that like me building Eden wasn't the right move
335
because he knows for a fact that the future is just moving towards three things, gambling, porn and video games.
336
That's it.
337
And now I see that everywhere.
338
That's it.
339
That's where the future is going.
340
That doesn't mean I'm going to stop building Eden
341
because I do think there's still a shred of hope for people to want to create things, but it's just absurd.
342
It's absurd.
343
Back, well, let's get back to the video.
344
So when you set this goal of a physique show in six months or squatting 405, you have to watch what happens to your attention.
345
Suddenly, the linear path of show up, lift, repeat, that just doesn't work anymore.
346
You need structure.
347
You may need a coach who can get you on the right track fast.
348
Your current training program needs to solely focus on the sets, reps, and exercises that will get you there.
349
You start seeing sleep and food as strict and non -negotiable, all things that you didn't even think about because your previous goal filtered it out as noise.
350
Now, when I wanted to hit my first 100k in a month in business, which was a delusional goal for me, who was making under, a little bit under,
351
100k as a freelancer, I only had around a thousand followers on social media.
352
And so that's kind of impossible, you would think.
353
And so me posting content normally
354
or trying to go on social media wasn't going to get me there in a short enough time frame.
355
I just obviously wasn't going to get there by posting consistently and hoping the algorithm notices me.
356
So I had to find leverage.
357
I had to find force multipliers.
358
I needed an offer first that would actually convert.
359
That's a part of it.
360
But I also needed more distribution than the 1 ,000 followers I had.
361
And so I could go the paid ads route, but I didn't have the money to invest enough into that.
362
And I just didn't know how to do it.
363
And so instead, a viable route was borrowing other people's audiences, meaning I had to network and exchange value with someone who had 20
364
or 50 or 100 ,000 followers that would share my posts to their audience
365
so that I would get a lot more traffic to my offer.
366
And so we talk about multiple ways to do that in the creator bootcamp, which is a part of the pro annual plan of Eden, link in the description.
367
But that's what a lot of people miss is they just follow the generic advice because they have generic goals.
368
And now if you don't know what Eden is, Eden is a second brain for creators where you can save any idea or anything from across the web, research what ideas are already working,
369
create content people can't ignore, and soon with the next update, get paid for your knowledge.
370
So it's going to be build a second brain
371
and then monetize it or monetize your knowledge
372
because everyone's talking about how info products are dead when I don't think that's the case.
373
I just don't think they've evolved into the AI age.
374
And so that's what we're building.
375
And it's going to be frictionless to get your first product up
376
because if you have any valuable thing that you do in AI, I'm going to make it so you can monetize that.
377
Not by just sharing a prompt or a skill, but by actually getting paid for it.
378
I see that as the next wave of info products.
379
They're just going to be a lot better and a lot more valuable to your customers.
380
So if you actually want to see that, at minimum, you can just sign up for a free account and start playing around, start writing, start saving ideas, start taking notes.
381
But then you'll get the email when the update goes live.
382
So now, after all of this, everything we just talked about, now that your focus is singular, you're more disciplined than 99 % of humanity, but you love it.
383
It is one of the greatest things you can experience on this planet.
384
And if you do not feel this joy, that's another problem.
385
So in the next video, we're going to talk about how to add gravity to your goals and how discipline isn't something that you just brute force.
386
So if you want that video, subscribe, check the links in the description.
387
As mentioned, like the video while you're here, and I'll see you in the next one.
388
Bye.

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
