Q & A
What are the two key things one should become 'brutally aware' of to get ahead in life according to the transcript?

Why is observing the masses and their outcomes important for personal growth?
-Observing the masses helps one to see the consequences of mindless action and understand that it often leads to undesirable outcomes, which can motivate personal change.
What is the significance of not just accepting what is seen on the surface as reality?

How can one use the concept of an 'anti vision' to clarify their actual vision for the future?

Transcripts
Here's how you get ahead of 99% of people in 6
to 12 months
become brutally aware of two things.
The first is what you don't want.
The second is where you will end up
if you keep doing the same things
in life.
Observe the masses
and see where mindless action leads.
It's not pretty at all by any means.
When you do this,
when you observe the masses, sit
with your thoughts.
Think them through.
Don't just close your mind off
and take what you see on the surface
and accept it as reality.
That's not how this works.
That close minded surface
level living is
what got you into this situation
in the first place.
You need to think deeper.
It's easier
to know what you don't want
from experience and observation
than it is
to know what you want from imagination.
And just thinking
and having all of these grand ideas
for your future.
And don't get me wrong
here, I'm not writing those things off.
Those things are good. They are not bad.
Do not label
any of what I'm saying as good or bad.
Test it through your direct experience.
Many of you know that I'm very big
on creating a vision for your future,
but the best way to do that
is by also creating an antidote
and having a negative thing.
Something that you despise,
something that will get you angry
because negative energy is very,
very potent.
It can be used in transmuted
to actually achieve
what you want in life.
It's like when you're going to
the gym, I'll be walking
on the treadmill as a warm up
and I'll just think of
what my life would be without the gym.
Where could I end up
if I don't put my all into that workout?
And somehow I just get very, very pissed
and I can feel that energy.
And not being pissed isn't bad.
Negative emotions aren't bad.
They exist.
They are what they are
and they should be
used, not suppressed, but used for good.
So to create your anti vision,
sit down with a notebook,
become a mad scientist,
draw out everything, sit
with a notebook for 30 minutes
and just draw out everything
your entire future.
But start with the anti
and write down every single thing
that you do not want in this life.
What do you not want to look like?
What do you not want your future to be?
What do you not want your day
to look like on an everyday basis?
And from that
it will be much clearer to you
what your vision will actually be,
because it's just
the opposite of those things.
And so when you look at your anti vision
after creating it,
or as you're writing it,
you should feel uncomfortable.
You should feel very uncomfortable
with the possibility
of where you could end up in life
if you do not take control of your life.
And so with that discomfort,
you should laser in on one
big goal, laser
in on your vision for the future.
And this should be meaningful
because your anti vision
is usually meaningless.
It comes from mindless action
and comes from not doing anything
and letting entropy take hold
and just drag your life into chaos.
That's what entropy does.
That is the supreme law of the universe.
If you do not create order for your life,
you will decline into chaos.
So in that same notebook
with that vision for your future
and your anti vision
plan out,
be the mad scientist
that is going to
work on the project of your life.
Create a plan, create a strategy
for exactly
what you are going to do on a day to day
basis, week by week.
Every single thing
you're going to do for the next week
and write it out
get extremely specific,
create the order
so you do not be a victim of entropy.
Next, disappear.
And whenever I say
disappear, like disappear for six months,
people take it literally.
Almost every of much of what I say
is metaphorical
and exaggerated
to get the essence of the message across.
I'm not saying
disappear
like your physical body
is just going to disappear.
I'm saying disappear
from the things
that don't belong in your life.
Cut them out.
This can be people,
games, apps, or even bad habits.
Just become aware of
the things that are holding you back.
And there are multiple ways to do this.
But with the process that we've discussed
and what's work
best for me is to just rip
the Band-Aid off, get rid of them all.
You don't need to explain yourself here
to other people
that are going to be messing you.
Hey, bro, Where'd you go?
Just disappear.
In other words,
break your addiction
with feeling like shit.
Because that feeling feeling like shit
has one cause, and that is, well,
it has multiple causes,
but we're talking about mental here,
not physical,
which would be
attributed to something
like nutrition or food,
but mental mental energy
that you were
spending on people
and things
that don't give a fuck
about you and direct
that mental energy
that you now
have into your vision for the future.
Because you have created a system
that will prevent entropy in your life.
The thing that will take you
from anti vision
to vision,
the system there,
and to maintain a system
to prevent entropy,
you need energy,
in this case, mental energy
to actualize
or manifest that vision,
if you want to call it that last.
Make a habit of the boring fundamentals,
but realize
that the boring fundamentals
are not boring
because most successful people,
they take the same repetitive actions
on a day to day basis
in a game
in like a game
that mimics the real world,
you are logging on
and you are repeating the same thing over
and over to slowly level up over time.
Right?
You're you're killing monsters, you're
going through dungeons,
you're doing the same thing
to stack experience.
So you need to transfer that
into the real world
and move the levers
that will actually take you towards
your goals.
These are fundamentals,
These are principles,
These aren't tactics.
And so understand
that these are not boring.
They seem boring on the surface
when you look at someone else
doing it day in, day out, like, Oh,
this guy down,
he writes for 30 minutes every morning,
Oh, that's
that seems so boring,
but it's mastery over misery.
It's like how sushi chefs,
they take years
to perfect the preparation of rice.
And it comes in stages
like a tennis player.
You first learn how to hold the racket.
Then there is a very specific way
to do that well,
and then you move up to the next stage,
which is how do you angle the racket,
How do you hit the ball
and you have to practice these things
over and over and over again,
like how you were learning to walk
until it becomes
effortless or unconscious.
So you open up more mental energy
to move on
to the next thing that will take
you ahead of the people
that are trying to just get a result
that would usually take ten years
to get in two weeks.
That's just not going to happen.
And so the question that everyone asks,
like when you start something new
is, okay, when will I see this result?
Like a tennis player?
When will I be able to compete
and stop asking that question?
Because you're going to get an answer
that you don't want to hear
and it's going to throw you off track.
It takes years.
It takes an entire lifetime of trial
and error to create a project.
As I said, become a mad scientist.
The essence of science
is trial and error.
So to perfect a project
your life
that you are building out,
it is going to take a lifetime.
Get comfortable with that thought.
So this entire process
that we just went over of realizing
what you don't
want, creating a strategy
and launching yourself
into the opposite direction
and prioritizing long
term success and mastery
is the origin story.
You will hear this in every origin story
of a successful person.
So flip the switch inside of you.
New Year's is coming up.
Flip the switch inside of you
and build a foundation
that will carry you into the life
you want.
So first off, Merry
Christmas and Happy New Year.
This is a much shorter video
than I normally do.
Many of you know that I was saving.
I'm saving along the longer
I have a lot of good videos coming.
The long, in-depth ones
coming next week.
I just didn't want to post it around Christmas
because I want to give those videos
the hopefully attention it deserves.
So first let me know
if you like these shorter videos
because I can work in one of these
every single week
along with the in-depth videos.
And if you guys like them,
I'll keep them coming.
So with that, leave a comment.
