 So I wanted to record a video on a topic that I like to call modes of being. Now, what are modes of being and why are they important to you? So the way that we operate as humans is that a large amount of the way that we take action and the way that we think is determined by our levels of consciousness, meaning where are we at at that moment? Are we in a in a depressed sort of state? Are we in a normal state? Are we in a happy state? In an abundant state? And different modes of being, different ways of being in the world get basically different results and different growth out of us. Some of them obviously do not. What I do is I consciously like to choose one of three types of modes of being that I like to inhabit as much as possible throughout the day because these are the ones that have generated all of the results that I have created in my life. So what are these three modes of being for me? And again, they can be very very different for you. So it's very important to find what these are and then learn how to tap into them. So the first one is the meditative mode of being. That's where what I do is I center my attention on the present moment and I make sure that all I'm focused on is what I'm feeling at the present moment, basically mindfulness. So this is for example the mode of being where I'm at right now, which is to eliminate thinking, focus as much on the present moment, focus on sensations and just let everything come up and pass. And this mode of being is very useful because what it does is it keeps you grounded. It keeps everything kind of moving and becoming very fresh and it keeps new ideas coming up. So as long as I'm in that mode of being, I tend to attract really better circumstances in my life. I tend to attract better ideas to my life. I tend to come up with a lot of creativity and things that are negative tend to pass very very quickly. So it keeps me grounded. Now the second mode of being is what I've learned from David Goggins. And you can read his book Can't Hurt Me, which is arguably one of the top three books that I've read in my entire life. And in the book he kind of describes this mode of being that he calls Can't Hurt Me, which is in a mode of being where what you're doing is you're challenging yourself to become the toughest version of yourself, to become a brutal killer for your mind and basically reach a situation where you can overcome your mind and overcome yourself. And a large part of the way that he recommends to do this is by taking the limits which you thought you've had and then breaking them by becoming very very uncomfortable and sustaining that. So I take up this mode of being usually once a day when I go, for example, for a run. And what I'll do is I'll take the current limit that I have, the pain limit, the frustration limit that I have, and I'll try to extend it beyond that. So I'll try to see if I can push past the current boundaries that I have that when I reach a certain point I just say, okay, I have to stop. This is too much. And you can apply the same for work, for reading, for studying, for meditation. Basically, how far can I push beyond my comfort zone and sustain it and continue moving forward? And this is the second mode of being that I can take. Now, the benefits of that mode of being is that it makes you much tougher. It makes you non-reactive. It raises your standards of what you believe you can do. It lets you take control over your mind and basically allows you to become a much tougher, stronger version of yourself with a lot less limitations. Now, the third mode of being is what I've learned from Grant Cardone, which is basically the 10x mode of being. And in that mode of being, what you do is you basically take whatever thinking that you currently have and you multiply it 10 times. So that means if your goal is to make $500,000 by the end of the year, you basically take that goal and you say my goal is to make $5 million. If you're trying to have a date with your wife, you say, okay, instead of having a regular date, let's see how we can 10x that date. So basically, how can we turn this from a nice date into the best date in the fucking world? Same thing for working out. How can we take this regular workout, turn it into the craziest workout in the world? Let's say, I want to improve my sales. How can I 10x my sales? I want to improve my marketing. How can I 10x that? And basically it forces you to think in a geometric way, in a frog leaping way rather than an incremental way, because the way that we usually think is how can I take what I have and add more? So if I'm making, you know, $10,000 a month, how can I make 12? And this kind of thinking is basically how can I go from 10 to 120 per month? So that is this third type of thinking. And what it does is it opens you up to a higher level of thinking that can actually get you to a higher level of success in life. It makes troubles go away, because whatever you're afraid about, whatever, you know, makes you feel uncomfortable, whatever you're scared of and feeling scarce about, when you can think in those 10x terms, whatever concerns you may have disappear at that higher level. For example, if you're currently worried about how do I pay my bills? If you then change your focus from how can I make, just make it to the end of the month, how can I make the $2,000 just to make it, to how can I make $20,000 this month? When you start asking these questions, also the the worries and the stresses and and even the rewards of that earlier level kind of go away. And I've used that to 10x my business as well, because in half a year I've built a business with my partner that has 20-something employees, dozens and dozens of clients and is growing very very fast, because we were able to constantly 10x our thinking and really just make these fraud leaps, which obviously worked well with things like meditation, because meditation helped me stay sane, basically helped me stay centered and grounded, despite things going up all the time. So I hope this kind of helps you understand the three modes of being that I take and I hope one of them at least inspires you to also take up one of those modes of being and try to also inhabit them as much as possible.
