 So our buddy cross that's his Screen name Says that he for ten years. He's been addicted to video games And it's it's really it's destroying his life because he doesn't go out anymore and all he won't he's literally addicted to this thing He doesn't go out. He's good at sports apparently. He's gifted in playing football and he loves football But he won't even go do that anymore now this out that might sound silly to some of you guys You know fucking loser just turn off the video games and go outside and play It's easy to say shit like that it's easy to give advice and just be like hey Just man up and go and do it, but I totally get it dude. I understand. You're you're physically physiologically Emotionally addicted to this shit, and I know why it can be because you're literally living in an abstract world You all of your personal identification with the characters in the game Tell you what with it. It's like you're living in the video game I understand what and I see a lot of people it happens to that's why I ran on video games often I see a lot of my friends. I'm like dude your life sucks because you won't turn that fucking thing off But anyway, so he wants to know how do I break free of this addiction? It's just like any other addiction, you know is addicted to the cigarettes or whatever the case may be I was talking to a friend yesterday and We're talking about how is it that some people can can advance in life How is it that some people can move forward and some people just seem stuck? They're just stuck in their life. They're stuck in mediocrity. They're stuck in The the comfort that the zone that they've created for themselves. It's because they we as human beings need one of two things It's always gonna be one of two things and the first is The one that I'm gonna tell you you're gonna need to do you need either a tragedy Or you need a goal so big that it draws you it pulls you out of bed It's much more difficult to be pulled towards something than have something chasing your ass, right? So you need a tragedy you need something that's like biting at you at your ass You know, it's much easier to run when a dog is chasing you and nipping at your ass then running towards a prize You know you get you give two people you give one person two options And or you put them in two different circumstances one dog chasing his ass He's gonna run you're gonna fucking run because it's a tragedy or you can get your ass bit And then you put a million dollars At the end of another one that guy's gonna run too But you know if you know it's a million dollars is gonna be there he's not gonna run nearly as fast or with as much Intensity It's a guy that's getting his ass bit So you've got to create a situation and I'm gonna tell you what to do You know, it's gonna be the most irresponsible advice that you've ever heard me give But it's the only one that's going to make you do what you have to do because I know that you can't reach Otherwise you would have reached it's been ten years. You're not good You're not a goal person and I'll end to be quite frankly to be quite frank It's difficult for even myself at times If I don't have something nipping in my ass, you know, I go after something, right? You've got a really like brainwash yourself to do that. That's a different story But anyway, bro, you need to literally pick up your video game machine smash it the fucking pieces Walk out your house get in your car and go live in your car go somewhere go go check into a homeless shelter You need to shake up your life like it's never been shook up before go and you know me extreme here but go live with your grandmother just just smash your video game machine go live with your grandmother and You have nothing now now you have no choice because you have no comfort and you have no stability And you have nothing but I got to get off my ass going live with your grandmother is gonna be it's gonna be too easy You really need to go where create a situation where you sink or swim And you'll learn how to swim You've got to place yourself in the midst of a storm and it's got to be a self-created storm Otherwise, you know, most people have to wait till the shit comes crumbling down before they they take action in life I'm inviting you to create a shit storm for yourself so that you will be Motivated by the wolf crying at the door by the dog nipping at your ass by the fire under your ass All right, dude. So you there's no nice way to do this Right rip the fucking band-aid off throw yourself off the cliff and learn how to fly on the way down. Good luck
