 Honestly straight up. I think motivation is the biggest scam ever now before you start screaming at me But I'm here isn't this a motivational video. No, it's not a fucking motivational video I'm just here to tell you something that I've noticed that it's a repetitive pattern with a lot of people I don't know about you, but I've gone to a bunch of conferences I've gone to two wrote Tony Robbins event and I always look around. I see the same type of people there and It's the same people who are looking for external gratification External highs, right? So this is why when people say I need motivation They're looking for this outside source to give them validation They're looking for this outside source to give them love and they're looking for this outside source as an yes I give you I give you my thumbs of approval to go continue what you're doing And this is why motivation doesn't work. It doesn't work on a psychological level It doesn't work on the biological level and doesn't work on a spiritual level because we are the creatures of habits, right motivation is like Man, my best my best metaphor for motivation is like doing heroin, right or doing any type of addictive drug You get your high you get your fix you get your dopamine fix to get your serotonin fix however, you're biologically wired and It lasts for a temporary period of time after that period of time Well, guess what you're feeding for some more like you give me some more motivation You got some Tony Robbins I got some of these YouTube videos and you need that fix and this is why you find yourself in that repetitive habit Of always trying to find out I need some motivation. Oh, guess what? Let me go to fucking Instagram and scroll and read those. I hate those fucking stupid fucking co-common Quotes and like you must do better get the fuck out of here. That shit's fucking retarded man All that shit is garbage garbage completely garbage This is why people don't succeed and I'm talking about success just in finances. That's rubbish. I'm talking about success as An individual success as a human being that loves themselves So that is like I mentioned before health wealth and love right all combined together And so the question is like what do you do right? If you're that individual who only is looking for that? External motivation. I always tell people well fuck it man. Let's sit down. Let's talk to you Let's figure what's going on. Obviously. There are some self-love issues Obviously the characteristics that you developed like all characteristics have originated from when you were a child like all the behaviors that we have Who we are how we behave how we act how we see the view how we see the world Originated when we were kids right gobermati actually has some interesting take on that where he states and even young Ian if you look at young in psychology it talks a little bit about this where the The the traumas that we have or the characteristics that we have our characteristics Develop from an early age based on early trauma now trauma in this at this aspect Some people might view it as a negative connotation. I don't view trauma as a negative I think it's open-ended it can be negative, but trauma can also be positive because it's very Subjective right for you viewing something it might be traumatic in your cultural Context religious context and society context, but if I take that same Situation that you endured and I and I and I overlaid in some other culture. It might be acceptable, right? So this is very subjective to the word towards the individual anyways so we have all these traumas that have created our characteristics and Lot of people due to these traumas they now are looking for validation Acceptance are looking from love for other people and they don't know themselves enough. So one of my fucking Suggestions for people who are looking for outside motivation is it's number one number one is Creating something I have to call the human constitution. I think a lot of people have never done this I try to do this about I want to say recorder because that's a lie I probably do this twice a year and so what the human constitution is for example The emir constitution is same thing like the United States of America has a constitution with the emir constitution I create a constitution of things that I absolutely stand for and things that will not accept from anybody else So it could be as like number one constitution no matter what I create my own hours No matter what I have you know one night one date night with my wife no matter what X Y Z you you create these You take you create these non Negotiables and you stand by these non negotiables right and so this exercise is really interesting because it challenges you to really Understand yourself better and to understand what you truly respect It challenges you to figure out. Okay, wait a second if all shit hits the fan my my startup goes out of business Or if I get fired, what are the fuck may be if all else fails no matter what this? Constitution right here remains intact So there's a lot of thinking to do right you can't change your mind on this So that's number one focusing on your individual human constitution number two number two This might not resonate with some people. I'm telling you things that I do right. I'm now I've never been a type of motivational person But I'll tell you things that make that challenged me to think for myself the challenge my belief systems that have made me to really audit and Systematize how I think and what I respect number two psychedelics Right now. I'm not suggesting any psychedelics for anybody. I'm telling you what worked for me So I've done many different forms of therapeutic guided psychedelics and I can tell you Personally and there's a lot of science to back this up. You can look up the maps organization multi disciplinary association psychedelic research Roamed by Rick Dublin the psychedelics Personally for me has been exponential right helping me to better understand who I am helping me to better Map and understand the experience I've been through Specifically as a child helping me to understand why certain emotions arise at a certain time that one's really important super fucking important and so It's up to you what you want to do when it comes to psychedelic I would recommend definitely checking out maps. They have they have very good guidelines. They have scientific approach and Just reach them up. I believe it's maps. Our org look at their organization They're doing amazing job and if you can't support them in any way possible. I think psychedelics are one of the most underrated Powerful modalities that a lot of humans can do to take us from a DOS operating system that we have right now to more or less Integrative let's say 2.0 human operating system because right now. We're running on very old-school primitive Paleolithic I would say software. There's a good saying this is from EO Wilson a biologist And so he has a quote is like we have Paleolithic emotions medieval institutions and god-like technologies, which is so fucking true like Fuck man. It's so brilliantly well said right Paleolithic emotions medieval institutions and god-like technology So that's number two is looking at psychedelic therapies to really understand yourself in number three number three is applicable for every aspect of your life every aspect and that is having more experiences in your life if you look at most people in your life or If you audit your life ask yourself how many times you've had real experiences that challenge you challenge you as an individual Now like oh, I went to the movies or I took a walk. No, man. No, no fucking way. I'm talking about challenging you I'm talking about fuck man. I did rock climbing for the first time good or I did white water rafting good Or I did whatever something that both a physically challenges you be Psychologically challenges you and see three emotionally challenges you Lot of reasons why people are looking for external motivation Like I said from from the beginning is because they don't have self-help self-love One of the reasons why they don't have self-love is they don't have enough Experiences in life to have a feedback loop to understand themselves better because they follow the fucking straight path Joseph Campbell has a saying He who thinks he knows doesn't know he who knows he doesn't know knows and So most people have been programmed Right to follow this path of least resistance But this path has no teachers right so there's also another saying when the student is ready the teacher will appear And so you follow this path, but you have no feedback from your environment You went to school and post-secondary got married. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, you're like fuck man. I'm fucking 40 fun Something I'm kind of a little bit overweight. I'm fucking depressed. What the fuck is happening. Well, that's exactly what's happening, dude Dude or gal you follow the straight path of least resistance Not your path not your path at all because the path that you follow is gonna be like this All over the place. So the question is when you're 40 right now what to do Experiences man fucking do experiences. I can't stress enough the more experiences to challenge you on those three points Mentally physically emotionally will really understand yourself better and following number four This will pick up to everybody and anybody no matter what no matter who you are is give back man. There's a Anthony Kitas from the Red Hot Chili Peppers one of my favorite fucking bands. I love funk His their autobiography is really good And he's if you know Anthony Kitas drug abuse, you know, one of his best friends was Joaquin Phoenix's brother River Phoenix. He overdosed. So yeah, and his dad was one of the biggest drug dealers. Anyways You know anytime he got himself in a depressive slump You know, you try to do the standard things like motivation and talking psychiatrists None of that fucking thing work what helped him always was giving back Giving back showing love to other people Helping people who are in need and he said that was the Number one thing in his tool belt that he used to better himself to understand himself better and to Connect with himself on a deeper level Andre Agassi in his autobiography open has a great saying to tennis brought me to my knees Love picked me up and one of the greatest things that he did to get him out of the slump was not motivation I listened psychiatrist was getting up and giving love back. And so that's my advice man I think motivation for the most part is an industry that just sells you smoke and fucking mirrors It doesn't give you any proper tools to assimilate in you to take with you to utilize When needed appropriately and so forget this motivational shit forget all that crap man Dig in do deep work as Cal Newport talks about deep work and Understand yourself better on such a level that you've never understood yourself before and I'll leave it at that guys If you have any questions for me about this leave a comment below this video and oh, yeah Make sure to subscribe peace
