1
Here are seven things that will make you unstoppable.
2
Number one, change your inputs to change your outputs.
3
So a lot of us go throughout life completely unaware of why we do certain things, or why we think certain thoughts, or why we say things the way that we say them,
4
with the tone in which we say them.
5
Or we can't figure out why we're tired all the time.
6
Our behavior is like a mystery to us, something completely out of our control,
7
like the weather, or some foreign government EMPing you while you're in a plane on the way to Europe.
8
But maybe things aren't so complicated or mysterious.
9
Maybe we're putting out exactly what we're putting in.
10
Your mother and your grandmother have said it since you were a child.
11
You are what you eat.
12
But it goes way deeper than that.
13
You are what you eat, what you smell, what you see.
14
Your senses are soaking in inputs all the time.
15
99.9% of which are synthesized and understood and processed by your subconscious.
16
And what that means is that you're not conscious of it.
17
You're not consciously aware of the fact that all these calculations are being made.
18
Your conscious mind is super efficient at no longer noticing the filth in your bedroom, the moldy spaghetti behind your monitor.
19
But your subconscious smells that every second of the day.
20
What you are inputting into your subconscious is information that is making you feel a certain way, that's making you behave a certain way.
21
Become conscious of what you are feeding your subconscious on a regular basis.
22
When was the last time you saw a tree?
23
Number two, you have to stretch in order to grow.
24
So in order to be successful in life, you probably need to have habits that benefit you.
25
So maybe you don't have those.
26
And maybe you want to be a person that has those.
27
But I think there are two main ways that people fail to implement beneficial habits for the long term.
28
The first way is they think it's going to be too easy.
29
They think that habit change is this really fun thing.
30
People want to go to the gym every day, so they shop for new supplements and new workout clothes,
31
and they get all infatuated with this idea of being this healthy, gym-going person.
32
And then obviously, you know the story, you show up to the gym, and it's way harder than you thought it was gonna be.
33
It feels nothing like thinking about going to the gym.
34
Lifting weights is hard.
35
You have to sweat.
36
And then you feel like, heh, this isn't fun, so you stop doing it.
37
The second way I see people fail is they think it's going to be really hard and miserable treacherous, not worth it.
38
Maybe they've tried a bunch of times and they've burned away their naivety and they say things like, I would start going to the gym,
39
but I just don't feel like putting in all of that effort.
40
It's not worth it.
41
You probably can identify that there are truths and falsehoods to both of these approaches.
42
Yeah, it's not easy to implement a new habit.
43
Yes, it's not going to feel natural and it's going to be kind of unpleasant for a lot of it,
44
but also it is worth it because every single time you implement something
45
that is genuinely good for you when you can manage to have these small wins
46
when you actually show up to the gym you put in a workout it is difficult
47
but when you leave the gym
48
and you're sitting there on your couch after a great workout
49
chugging back a protein shake you get this quiet feeling of
50
victory like damn a lot of bad things could happen to me today
51
but at least I went to the gym and
52
that might seem subtle But if you compound that feeling over a very long time, you feel like a completely different person.
53
You have inputted into your mind repeatedly that you have won.
54
You've done something worthwhile.
55
You're growing.
56
You're getting stronger.
57
And when you have that narrative in your subconscious, the way you walk changes.
58
The way you make eye contact with people changes.
59
The way you treat yourself changes.
60
That's the power of burning away this lesser self.
61
Of voluntarily subjecting yourself to pain.
62
Because what that tells yourself is that I'm willing to go through this to better myself because I'm worth it.
63
I'm shouldering so much suffering so that I can be the best version of myself.
64
So that I can be stronger.
65
So I can treat myself with respect.
66
And that narrative, treating yourself that way, completely transforms your existence.
67
That is absolutely worth it.
68
And suffering viewed in this proper context is a wonderful thing.
69
It is joyous even.
70
So remember that.
71
Yes, it's painful, but hell yeah, it's worth it.
72
Number three, guard your eyes.
73
The more we look at something, the more we are telling our brain that this thing is valuable.
74
This thing is important to us.
75
Even when looking at something as a reflex, you hear a pen drop next to you in your home alone, you're gonna look at that right away because you value that information.
76
It could be a predator.
77
It could be somebody climbing through your windows ready to stab your dog.
78
I find that the more I scroll Instagram, the more I scan my environment kind of aimlessly looking for something to sort of pique my interest.
79
You know, there's this sort of this aimlessness to my field of vision where I'm just kind of looking for things to stimulate me, to give me a little brain tickle.
80
If you really need to focus on something in particular, try looking at it for 30 seconds.
81
Try controlling your eyes, guarding it from distraction, and literally just looking at the thing that you're supposed to do and not directing your vision anywhere else but that thing.
82
And when your eyes are focusing on something, your entire being tends to focus on it.
83
So you don't have to overthink things.
84
Just look at what you're supposed to do.
85
Don't allow yourself to look anywhere else.
86
Treat your eyes like a laser beam.
87
Have a reason to be looking where you're looking.
88
Number four, figure it out.
89
So if you want to get into powerlifting really badly and you've never lifted a dumbbell, a barbell in your life,
90
then obviously a really dumb thing to do would be to go onto YouTube
91
and watch a bunch of videos of people who can powerlift or deadlift 600 pounds or more,
92
you watch all these videos of these strong dudes showing you the best possible way to deadlift 600 pounds.
93
Like that's such a waste of time.
94
If you've never deadlifted a thing in your life, then watching any of these videos is the biggest waste of your time you could possibly imagine.
95
Go to the gym first and then when you're at the gym,
96
take out your phone and watch a video on basic form so that you don't hurt yourself while you're deadlifting, but deadlift.
97
Take all the energy you would use to try to figure out the perfect way to do something
98
and use it to do the thing repeatedly and terribly so
99
that you can get good at it faster than you ever would by watching videos about it.
100
There is no amount of videos you could watch.
101
You could watch 7,000 powerlifting videos.
102
You would not be able to deadlift one more pound.
103
Maybe like two more pounds.
104
But it ain't gonna be 600.
105
Most people's problem nowadays is they forgot what it feels like to just figure things out.
106
Start doing the thing, obviously don't hurt yourself, don't be dumb, but figure it out.
107
Oh no, Joey's telling me to start doing like free solo climbing on the side of a cliff
108
and not watch a video or get a mentor.
109
No, I'm not.
110
Figure it out.
111
A big thank you to Skillshare for sponsoring this video.
112

127
Number five, use leverage.
128
This sounds like the most technical one.
129
It sounds like, I don't know what it sounds like.
130
It sounds stupid, that's what it sounds like.
131
Not all productive things are created equal.
132
There are things that you really should be doing, or maybe there's literally one thing that you always avoid doing
133
and it is by far the most important thing you could possibly do.
134
In my own life that's making videos.
135
From a strictly monetary ROI perspective,
136
making videos from start to finish and hitting upload is by far the best use of my time I can possibly do.
137
So whenever I I am hanging out
138
and you know I'm painting my windowsill black in my theater room you know that is a productive thing.
139
I'm painting my windowsill.
140
I'm doing something.
141
But when I have a deadline for a sponsor
142
and I need to make a video and I have something on my mind
143
and I should just sit here and talk about it.
144
What the hell am I doing painting a window?
145
So many things in life are like that where yeah it's technically productive but it's not the thing.
146
It's not the thing that is on your mind, that's plaguing your existence, that is making you feel like you need to escape.
147
Everybody has that thing.
148
You need to find a way to do whatever that thing is as often as possible, for as long as possible, with as much intensity as possible.
149
There's a dirty joke in here somewhere.
150
And on the exact same wavelength, there's something that is the absolute worst use of your time that you could possibly do.
151
It has the absolute worst ROI out of any activity that you do on a daily or weekly basis.
152
If you thought about it for even three seconds, there's no reason to do it.
153
You need to find a way to do that thing as little as possible.
154
So that's what it looks like to maximize leverage.
155
Make that one thing that you need to do as enjoyable as possible, as frictionless as possible.
156
Make it just so easy to do all the time for a long period of time.
157
Spend money and time to help you make that thing as good as possible.
158
Increase the quality and enjoyability of that most important thing.
159
And on the exact same token, make doing the worst thing that you can possibly do as unenjoyable as possible.
160
Straight out miserable, right?
161
Make it inconvenient.
162
Make it as hard as possible to do what you don't want to do
163
and as easy as possible to do the best thing you could possibly do.
164
Number six, stop running from yourself.
165
Desiring to be a better version of yourself should not be confused with wanting to run away from who you are.
166
That might sound cheesy, but believe me, I've been there.
167
I've wanted to just not be who I am and instead of just resenting my situation,
168
I confused it with resenting myself for punishing myself for failing
169
or thinking it's somehow Unacceptable to be in the state
170
that I'm in or to have the lifestyle that I have
171
And it's very important to realize that once you start attacking yourself instead of just being proactive about
172
Leaving your undesirable situation as soon as you start attacking yourself all progress stops
173
Because even if you manage to get yourself out of your situation, you're not gonna be happy It's not going to be good enough.
174
You will feel like you always need to justify your own existence.
175
The narrative inside your head when you don't like yourself very much is Okay, I don't like who I am and where I am So
176
if I just do this thing and get this thing then
177
that will make me worth something that will justify my existence
178
But there's no way to justify your own existence through achievement
179
or accumulating objects There's no point to any of this
180
if you don't believe that you have inherent dignity And
181
if you don't treat yourself like you have inherent dignity from the get-go There's nothing you can do to earn
182
that so look at yourself in the mirror take a deep breath
183
and say I got you buddy I might not like every single thing about how I behave
184
or what I've done But I accept it as the truth.
185
I accept it as what has happened.
186
It is what it is.
187
This is the reality Now where do we go from here?
188
Number seven, do what you want.
189
And I really mean this in the deepest possible sense.
190
Do whatever the hell you want.
191
Now before you go and tear open a package of Tim Tams and start gobbling your life away, hear me out.
192
I think we only ever do what we want.
193
We only ever do what we think we want to do in any given moment.
194
Even when we do something that we don't want to do, something that we regret doing, something that we're morally opposed to doing,
195
I feel like 99% of the time it's only because it's what we thought we wanted to do at the time, or there's something in it that we want.
196
Maybe we don't want all of it, but there's something there.
197
There was something about it that we thought we wanted at the time.
198
It turns out we didn't want it, but we thought we did.
199
And I think this is important to consider.
200
Try to ask yourself on the deepest possible level, what do you want?
201
What kind of life do you want to live?
202
What kind of relationships do you want to have?
203
What do you ideally want to do on a day-to-day basis?
204
And why do you want those things?
205
How would it make you feel to live this way?
206
And now contrast that with what you currently do.
207
Think about all the things that you don't like that you do.
208
and ask yourself, what in these things do I actually want?
209
And a lot of the time when we have things that we do that are bad for us, there's still something in it that we want.
210
And it's not the thing itself that we want.
211
It's usually a feeling it gives us.
212
Try to figure out what that feeling is.
213
And it's probably a feeling that everybody wants, right?
214
It's just the thing itself or the activity or the behavior isn't the best possible way to achieve that feeling.
215
Once you start going through this process, a lot of the time you realize that even doing what you don't want to do, but you think it's something that you want to do,
216
but you shouldn't do, it's like even that thing isn't doing what you want in the best possible way.
217
Like obviously the easiest possible example is, you know, going on YouTube, scrolling through YouTube shorts or whatever, right?
218
If you stop to ask yourself, What about this do I actually like?
219
What do I want here?
220
Why do I do this?
221
What feeling am I looking for?
222
What do I have to gain from this that I can take with me into life?
223
Like, will I ever feel satisfied?
224
Like, man, I have arrived.
225
That was so worth it.
226
I feel so good now.
227
It's like, probably not.
228
Don't you want to feel that way?
229
Isn't that what you want?
230
Probably.
231
And a lot of the time these like dopamine traps things
232
that promise you something and promise you something
233
and promise you something There is no feeling of ah I have arrived that was so worth it.
234
I feel so good about myself now No, it's always some fake promise find what that thing is promising
235
and then find the best possible way to give yourself that feeling
236
and a lot of time what you'll find is giving yourself
237
the best possible feeling usually aligns with your moral compass it usually makes your life better
238
and usually you know everything about it is just better than doing the worst thing we always think
239
that by giving up the worst thing
240
our life is going to be less enjoyable we're giving up something that's actually good
241
but it's like that thing actually isn't
242
that good you know the best possible way to get the feeling
243
that you want in life
244
and to be the person you want to be in life is by being the person you want to be in life.
245
Unless you actually think about these things and reflect on the feelings all these activities give you, you'll be blind to it.
246
You'll fall for false promises.
247
Does that make sense?
248
If that doesn't make sense, comment below.
249
Say, Joey, that makes no sense.
250
The bottom line is you are a living, breathing human being.
251
You affect the world around you.
252
You can decide right now to pick up the glass that's closest to you
253
and throw it against the wall and shatter it.
254
You can do that.
255
You can move through space and time and affect the world around you.
256
You can affect people around you.
257
But most importantly, you can affect your life.
258
You can affect the habits you have.
259
You can change your life and you can live the life that you want to live, truly want to live.
260
And it will be what you want.
261
Like it's the most basic possible thing and it's exciting.
262
So help yourself, give yourself what you want and not just moment to moment, right?
263
Because that's short-sighted, but what your soul is screaming for.
264
And I hope that by doing so, you will find more peace and fulfillment and enjoyment every single day of your life.

Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?
Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
