 So in this video, I'm going to explain to you why why rationality is your best route and why you actually want to Flutter and out emotions That regards certain problems that you have so let's say for example You know you have like a work problem that you need to get done most people They like to be stressed and they think that the stress is Helping them. They're like, oh, I need to be Stressed to you to accomplish this goal and then when they're not stressed. They think that there's a problem So I've definitely suffered from this It's gotten so bad when I had it that I had a rule Financially that I have to spend a hundred and twenty percent of what I make that month So if I made that month ten thousand dollars, I'll spend 12 if I made then, you know, 13 to get that back I'll spend 15 and then I'll get 15 or 16. Whoa Sorry, I almost fell And I'll get 15 or 16. I get I'm keeping that piece in. Let me know if you saw me fall So so, you know if I make 15 16, I'll have to make more and it literally worked like that for Almost a year and almost killed me like I was seriously on the brink of Felt like I was on the brink of having a heart attack at one point Because I believed that if I don't Get myself like like Anxious like you have to do it or else this or that happens, you know that fear thing then it's just not gonna happen I'm just not going to do it and Nowadays, I'm happy to say that I'm rational I am more interested in investing and growing my wealth than, you know, increasing income by destroying it But the point is that So many people are Feel like they're depend on that emotion You also get for example married couples and you know, I asked them like hey, why Why did you marry and they're like what like of course we married, you know, because we love each other I'm like, yeah, but you know, what's the point? Like why did you actually do it? You know the whole legal process and everything and they're like, oh because it's you know, how are you gonna be committed? If you're not married, you know when you're married you're Committed to each other. So I always ask like oh, yeah, like that's That's what makes you committed like having a piece of paper That says that you're committed that like a ceremony. That's what makes you committed You know, no, you should be you should be committed naturally by you know, the virtue of wanting to be in a good relationship with your partner if you decided to be committed So again, many people I've just been giving giving examples of how many people most people Use emotional triggers Or feel like they depend or they need to use Emotional triggers in order to accomplish things. I need to be stressed to get this problem done I need to be excited to go to the gym And I believe you can already start seeing where I'm going with this and why this is so wrong and the reason for that is Emotions are unreliable That's the first example the first reason just they're unreliable like you can't trust the motion Something might stress you and then next moment it doesn't something might make you excited and the next moment it doesn't So they're unreliable they constantly change And they they're unnecessary and they're not dependable so Let's say that you set your main Way of dealing with a problem is as a rationality like that's your tool being rational So, okay, there's a problem needs to be taken care of and then you take care of it in a relaxed fashion rational fashion Your calm everything is good You're gonna be more effective you're gonna be able to For example take massive action because now your emotions are getting in the way So, you know people who rely on emotions for massive action Yeah, sometimes it does work But then it then it doesn't because you have you feel like you're in the gym You feel excited, you know like oh my god. I'm gonna pump this way And then you go, you know, you're you lift the weights There you go. It's crazy. It's crazy. It's crazy, but then you don't feel it anymore Now what now you're out of juice or let's again if you're attacking your problems like yeah I can deal with it. I can make it happen. Blah blah blah blah Then the emotion goes away You don't feel like it or let's say you're not stressed about your finances. You're like, oh my god I'm not stressed anymore. What the fuck? Sorry, I'm not stressed. So why would I work if I'm not stressed? So it's just this dependency on emotions and in my experience again, I was seriously dependent on them and Never solved it, you know, I usually give you guys like do this and this and this and this will solve it But in this case, it's it's more of a decision to be honest. It's not up. It's less about It's less about a technique or something You just need to realize that it's pointless the moment you realize that the emotion is Pointless that you don't need it to achieve your problem. You'll stop generating Emotion so the moment you look at for example financial problems And you realize that you're not gonna deal with them by being stressed or that you can deal with them better Like objectively you're like, oh, I can deal with it better if I'm not stressed You're just not gonna want to feel stressed anymore. So the power of rationality Really comes into play here any problem that you have can be solved professionally and Emotions are unnecessary and the moment you realize that like I don't need to depend on emotions to Do something like I don't need to fear Cheating on my wife so that I don't cheat on her. I could just be disciplined about it or I don't need to feel excited to work out and have a great workout then that goes away as well and And What do you get in return? When you face that you know when you face that fact that you don't need these emotions is You get a more stable Rational existence without as many ups and downs Because you don't need them So next time you want to make more money, you're not gonna try and create more Problems with emotions So every time, you know, you want more money. You're probably like, oh my god I'm not making enough money. What the fuck what the fuck again? It's what I talk about inspiration or desperation like oh shit shit I have to make money or it's the firm inspiration like like oh my god. This is so amazing. It's such an amazing business idea again, both of these are gonna fade away both of these emotions are gonna go away and What's the number one key to success? Consistency So you can't be consistent if you're relying on something that's inherently inconsistent independent not dependable and short-lived And again, I tried I tried living on emotions like I tried by Continuously upping the ante and just again more stress more stress and then you get used to it And then more stress more stress more stress and because once you get used to the stress There's no more stress so But again, it destroyed me like it was the most the hardest most horrible time of my life I was very successful in that time, but but that depends on how you What you call success because I was fucking miserable I was miserable like completely miserable and Wasn't happy. I was constantly stressed, you know, so what if I was making money like what does it matter? So When you learn to be rational when I learned to be rational I started looking at my life, you know in my goals And again, let's say there's something I need to fix Then I wouldn't have to wait until inspiration or desperation, you know until I have an amazing idea Or until it gets so bad that I don't have a choice So when I'm conceit when I see something that I can improve, you know financially health-wise Athletically in relationships, you know, whatever it is doesn't matter I'll just sit down and I have my daily reports and I'll just add it like oh for example, I recently realized that I Should spend more time thinking and strategizing with myself like I took a shower and The morning it was a cold shower and then Because of that I said okay, you know, I had to take a shower again in the evening So I said, okay, I'll take you a regular shower and I know it sounds funny But it's the first time I took a regular shower in like two months, maybe three four months so I took it and I suddenly had like many ideas like bam like whoa I should do this and I should do that because I like to think in the shower and you can't do that when you're fucking you know freezing to that so So That brought me to another conclusion that I need more time for myself to think and to strategize so instead of being like You know from inspiration like oh my god That's so amazing. What the fuck I'm gonna change everything now You know, my life is gonna change. Fuck, you know, it's all about this Like and just destroy everything. Oh instead of being from desperation You know like what the fuck this is so horrible. I wasn't thinking enough. I just came from a very rational place. I'm like, okay Clearly this is working. This is producing results. I failed to notice it, you know, you you fix your steps along the way that's part of the process and I Just added it to my daily habits. So now every day. I also sit and strategize for 20 minutes It's that simple No big deal. No big fuss, you know, or let's say, you know lately Doing 60 minutes of meditation has been really really hard for me. I don't know why it happens But I'm not gonna, you know, like go over the habit. So I'm just gonna dial it down to 20 minutes for now Okay, and I could be like, oh my god, it's not working. What the fuck? No, just going crazy Everything is is rational Everything is rational because you know, that's why what they teach astronauts in space They basically take them through every single possible scenario So that they don't freak the fuck out because they say in space Panic equals death You can't allow yourself to panic. You don't have that luxury You're gonna die because you have to be always rational and in control So, um That's kind of the way I try to go about my life is Always be rational always be calm. And again, this is coming from somebody who's Been in the opposite end, you know, it's funny how Usually find people In opposite ends like the super fat guy turns into into the super skinny guy The super extreme guy turns into the balanced guy But yeah, that's as the way I deal with it today. So I highly recommend you take this rational approach to success It will make you much happier much calmer much more effective, you know, to be honest That's like one of the biggest points and maybe you won't see as much short-term results because Again, it's much easier to get results if you're in a crazy stress but The crazy stress won't last and then you get like a peak like a beep beep like like in the heart monitor like did it Did it but it's gone. So, you know, you maybe you maintain it for a week Maybe you go crazy like me risking hundreds of thousands of dollars And you know waking up every morning with with heart attack almost And you you manage to last it for, you know Five months six months a year But it's still going to go away and the moment it goes away You won't be able to hold up to that level Of emotion just like when you work out and you have that amazing workout because you felt super pumped up That's an exception And if you try to make it like that every day and it's possible You're going to have to start doing some coke at one point because if you don't then You're not going to be able to maintain it and then You're going to lose it because The whole point of consistency is that efforts have to be maintained In order for results to keep growing if you take, you know, this much effort For half a year and you know you grow and then you go down from this to this You're going to crash very fast because you have to make continuously maintain the efforts and build on the efforts You can't just you know, let go of the efforts and expect to see an increase of the results Now again, I'm contradicting because like I said, I am Going from 60 minutes of meditation to 20 every day But I'm keeping the consistency because it's a rational thing that I do out of Out of a realization of what I'm doing. I'm like, okay I know This is going to slow down the process. So I'm not going to freak out. I'm not I'm not going to get like, oh my god It's not, you know, improving as fast as it did. What the fuck and then then stop the habit But let's say you're growing your income You know, and you're constantly doing this thing where you're spending more than you should and You're going getting into these very extreme situations Or let's say that you depend In your workouts on like amazing pumps and amazing Success and then suddenly you lose that fuel You're probably going to quit because it's too boring now. It's too It's like a sudden loss of Of what you had So anyway, I hope this This video helps you.
