Transcripts
most of us have two lives the life we
are living and the unlived life within
us between these two stands resistance
you can have more than you've got
because you can become more than you are
you're sick of not being able to work
hard on your goals you're tired of
sitting down to do a task but you just
can't find that energy to start and of
course the other side of the coin reads
unless you change how you are you'll
always have what you got look I've been
there it genuinely sucks because I know
you want to work hard you would be
watching a video like this otherwise I
get happier about the harder it is
because I know that no one else will
follow us but doesn't it feel like
there's always something holding you
back from starting Once the mind knows
you're not going to quit something I
always felt like there was just this
Indescribable force that completely
helped me back from attacking my goals
it's going to try to find more even
though in my mind I was actually really
ambitious when your mind knows it's not
going to quit your body will adapt to
whatever is in front of it I would set
to-do lists and goals for myself but
they never got completed and I
eventually came to learn that this force
is actually called resistance and
learning how to overcome it has
completely transformed my life if you
have ever bought a book but never
actually read it if you have ever gotten
a gym membership and didn't regularly go
or the best one if you have ever had an
exam but put off studying for it until
the last minute well then you know that
feeling of resistance and B way that was
always me if you constantly run away
from things that you don't want to face
how is there growth resistance is the
force that keeps us from fulfilling our
potential and achieving our goals it's
them negative voices in our heads
telling us we are not good enough strong
enough or motivated enough to start but
paradoxically it is actually a force
that we create ourselves see you are the
person who creates the resistance but
this also means you you are the person
who can defeat it whatever I'm afraid to
do I do it it is literally impossible to
set yourself a worthwhile goal without
resistance being produced because as
they say every action has an equal and
opposite reaction when you set yourself
a goal that requires you to grow into
someone new to achieve it that goal
threatens your current self and because
your future self and current self can't
both also exist at the same time your
current self decides you know what I
want to survive so I'm going to produce
resistance so that you don't start into
your work and you don't evolve into the
best version of yourself you are
probably feeling resistance right now to
watch this full video but I learned from
this guy Charlie Morgan that you can't
blame your current self for this
resistance because without your current
self we would not have a desired self to
become see the majority of people have a
negative relationship with who they
currently are because they view
themselves as this thing that is holding
them back when in reality it is the
thing that pushes them forward and it
pushes them forward by generating this
resistance and by overcoming this
resistance daily it allows you to grow
into that person you've always wanted to
be so doesn't that mean you should
actually really be thankful for your
current self and you know I think it's
about time we stop delaying Our Lives
any longer we need to stop waiting
around for that perfect time to start
and instead take control of our life Liv
because if we are serious about wanting
to become people who can really work
hard and Achieve our goals we are going
to have to learn how to overcome this
resistance and well how do we do that I
found the answers to this question in a
book called The War of art by Steven
pressfield and from that Charlie Morgan
guy I mentioned earlier who happens to
be a millionaire entrepreneur see to
overcome this resistance you need to
change your outlook on hard tasks and in
the war of art Steven pressfield says
you do that by turning pro what he means
by this is that an amateur thinks that
the fear of starting into a task must be
defeated before the real work can begin
but a professional knows that the fear
never goes away you just have to power
through it as best as you can see when
faced with resistance you have two
options you can feel the pain now and
use effort to overcome it or you can
feel pleasure now but pain later and you
will feel that pain in the form of
regret and trust me I wasted years
procrastinating my goals because I
couldn't confront that pain of stalling
into my tasks and it made me feel
terrible about myself so you need to
start telling yourself I am a pro and I
conduct myself like a professional
because a professional defeats
resistance and goes to work despite how
he feels treat it like you're a
professional so every day at the same
time you sit down in front of your
keyboard and you start working and just
put in the work put in the work and
force your to do it you force it like a
muscle by repeatedly doing this over a
period of time your self-image will
begin to change into someone who fused
themselves as a professional that is
able to sit down and do the work despite
not wanting to and whenever you are
faced with a challenge in your work
don't quit instead start training
yourself to see new challenges as a step
you must overcome to reach your goal you
also need to realize the more important
something is to your personal growth or
the closer you get to achieving your
goal the more resistance you will feel
and Charlie Morgan said the best weapon
to consistently beat this resistance is
with the work he says the work is
defined as action having the
intelligence to figure out the work you
need to do and doing it see the work can
be feed as taking an action your body
doesn't want to take this means your
body will make it painful for you to
take that first step and the majority of
that pain will be in your mental your
mind will produce all all sorts of fears
doubts and excuses as to why you
shouldn't do the work but understand
that if you want to work hard you have
to change your perception of this pain
you have to actually seek out the
resistance because the more resistance
you confront and overcome the faster you
can become the best version of yourself
and achieve your goals realize the only
thing between you and your goal is this
pain and everybody hates pain I'm no
different but if you flip your
perception of the pain and begin to love
evolving pain it will allow you to grow
into the best version of yourself
obviously I'm not talking about pain
which would cause you genuine harm I'm
talking about evolving pain that comes
as a result of going to failure in a set
or doing a hard task you didn't want to
do these are things that grow you and
allow you to become that person who can
consistently work hard and the key to
becoming a person who can work hard on
his goals is to face this evolving pain
every day until your body eventually
becomes friends with it this shift can
only happen once you realize that all
the suffering and Agony from the
evolving pain is actually helpful and
productive don't get me wrong the pain
from these hard things will still suck
but you will start to enjoy the pain and
you will actually begin to desire it
because you start to realize that pain
equals growth like when I began to
consistently get up at 6:00 every
morning to go to the gym and start
training to failure on all of my sets it
sucked so bad to the point I would be
nervous before going but gradually this
evolving pain I was feeling became my
new basine and I started to get used to
it and now nearly 10 months later I
still experienced the same pain in my
sets but I don't fear the pain as much
and I'm not as nervous as before as
crazy as it sounds I actually kind of
welcome the pain because I know I'm
going to grow as a result and it's
honestly best if you can hold this
mindset in everything you do do because
how you do one thing is how you do
everything so if you have resistance to
do any task even outside of your work
attack that resistance and strengthen
that muscle of being able to start even
in the face of fear and this will make
overcoming the resistance of starting
into your work so much easier and your
confidence will exponentially grow in
everything you do and you know what the
funny thing is you actually begin to
like the evolving pain because your
brain has a familiarity bias meaning
your brain starts to really enjoy things
that are familiar to it like coffee for
example when I was younger I hated
coffee and then I started to drink it a
few times and now I love the taste of it
so if doing hard work is something you
are currently really struggling with it
just means you haven't exposed your
brain enough to these hard tasks so you
can take great advantage of this
mechanism in your brain by regularly
pursuing evolving pain until your brain
becomes familiar with it and eventually
it will learn to love the evolving pain
as a result I'm not even joking when I
say that if you regularly overcome this
resistance daily for a few months it
will completely reshape you as a person
because honestly I feel like a
completely different person to who I was
this time last year and I've even
recognized the same mental
transformation in the guys I work out
with so by consistently facing this
resistance day in and day out I no
longer find it as hard to start into
different ult tasks and obviously I'm
nowhere near perfect and still have a
long way to go but learning this has
really set me on a good path understand
that resistance is always going to show
up but it's up to you to decide if you
are going to let it stop you or if you
are going to let it grow you remember
what is impossible to man is possible
with God and as always make sure to
