This is someone actually watch myself I'm subscribed to I got the notifications on you know that good stuff So this is definitely someone I look up to and yeah, go give him some love. Peace day 10 Guys a couple years back six years ago. I was 19 years old and During this time I was getting depressed. I was feeling unmotivated. I felt no Motivation for life. So I would lay in bed all the time and you've probably heard the story But so you know what I learned to do is I learned to cope and I did that By turning to a substance this substance was nicotine. It wasn't through smoking Excuse me, it was through dipping tobacco the in the can and I would now do this once a week And then eventually I did it every day and then eventually always dipping a can of tobacco a day getting my fix and I believed that I needed this substance in order to be myself and I always had this cognitive dissonance and I you know, I'm sure some of you guys smoke I'm talking about every addiction here Marijuana can be an addiction. All right, you can't argue guys. All my friends are like dude. It's so addicting. So weed porn masturbation nicotine harder drugs junk food, I Mean the list goes on and on think of any video games So what I began to realize is that I would turn to this substance Because it would give me something It would give me the motivation the buzz the happy feel-good Feeling that I would get that I wasn't getting from life And as I began to research and I learned more about it the reason that I talked to you guys and I push the 90-day no-fab The reason that I talk about Fighting depression and fixing the dopamine. It boils down to this point When you use drugs or any of the stuff that we talked about You are Stimulating the dopamine now the dopamine is not responsible for Feeling good. This is the very most important part. It is responsible for Motivation So instead of being motivated for life When you are dependent or when you're using Substances you are now dependent on this vice to motivate you You're motivated for that drug Okay, and What realized me what realized me what made me realize is that I was getting less Motivated for life. It was an illusion. It was this drug making me feel happy life is good But then really guys I was stagnant as could be And I went months at a time quitting and then getting back on months Fighting this cognitive dissonance hating that I would do this but feeling like I needed it in order to be myself So the one thing that helped me quit that really it wasn't the fear of getting cancer It wasn't the money probably wasn't anything the fucking thing that clicked in my mind the city lives And we got to get our shit together man. We got to change our life Is that I realized that if I could feel more motivation if I stopped Then I better fucking stop if I could be more Happy to be alive by stopping then I better fucking stop because now like when I stop guys this Monk mode thing I Now have more motivation for life I don't get my motivation Firing off in my head from the dopamine by being stimulated by a drug life does that for me now And you know what life where life is it's out there. It's not at the grocery store. It's not at the gas station It's not on my computer That's not where life exists life exists here See when I go to get that quick Stamulus from the get no that's not where it is man life is out there and now Motivated to get the fuck out there and make something of myself into really live That is my call man, and I realize as soon as I give it up. I'm motivated for everything dude I mean I find like a feeling of euphoria that comes over me. I'm walking around. I'm more Serena more calm I mean I'm more motivated to eat my greens like I'm more motivated to just get up in the morning and go for a walk But we have a drug everything else seems subpar So that's why yeah video games are okay, but we should limit them Yeah, you know like Man, that's just so and you have to really be honest with yourself What is it in your life that is sapping you of that motivation because guys as soon as you let it go The brain begins to rewire itself. It begins to repair and now you are again a hole It's not about becoming a monk All right, it's not about just doing it or and being this masochist like like self-harmed. There's no self-harm here We don't take cold showers for that reason. It's the self-discipline that we in court that we like now And still in us and self-discipline is one of the greatest Feeling things that you are now in control of your body a master of himself a slave to know thing a King See that that is such a great feeling guys and then as you begin to know that that no longer I'm no longer a slave to that fucking drug. I don't need that to feel whole. I Need myself. I Mashed over my mind. I don't need that to make me happy. I don't need that porn To make me fucking, you know, happy or feel something I've been through the battle and I am my own man That is the greatest feeling I think for any man is to know that he is in control And then anything that seems hard That comes to you in life anything you have this Background that you know that you can handle it That's what self-discipline gives you the Understanding and the courage and the confidence that no matter what happens in your life. You can do that That's powerful You see but we run from it all the time and the world that we live in the Yolo world that we live in you only live once this hedonistic lifestyle of Pleasure pleasure avoid the plant pain and go for the pleasure teaches you to fear The cold it teaches you to fear Anything that's of that's not comfortable and it makes you softer as a man See it's very hard to learn self-control. It's hard to teach yourself self-discipline But once you understand why you're doing this in the first place man It makes it all worth it and I know you guys are gonna stick to this fucking thing I know that you know it gets fucking tough But keep going with the guys keep going make it the 90 days with it with me prove to yourself that you can And if you fail then just start the fuck over Okay, this isn't a race. This is us brothers building each other up trying to be the best version the most motivated version of Ourself because it is okay to realize that the things that I'm doing are Sucking are being a leech to my motivation in life Why am I not as inspired by just looking out of the window on a sunny day or going for a walk? That's supposed to be How it is so I asked you guys we're gonna get back there We're gonna be these Indomitable men man and limitable men and I will see you guys very soon
