And going a step further, if they did, they'd still find a way to strike it down. That's why its so important to not need anyone to understand us. When I reached that level, I can't even tell you the mental freedom.
I’m not sure of the psychology behind it. But when I was in school I was a terrible student. Absolutely abysmal. So bad I was put in the special needs classes because I was so damn lazy. Well one year I decided I was tired of being treated like special needs and tired of being thought of as stupid. So I made it my goal to make honor roll that year. I succeeded rather easily actually. But something I took from that was, I lied to my brain all the time. Until I wasn’t lying anymore. Before that year of studying. I spent a year obsessing over fitness and got into the best shape of my life. I fell in love with the pain and ache from working out. The next year when I started my educational obsession. I would catch myself saying “agh I hate home work” or “I hate studying for soo longgg” I started to correct this behavior because I new smart people, like really smart students, all they did was study. And even if it sucked, they loved it. So now “I love studying” “I love how uncomfortable it is to sit here for hours” “I don’t even have a hard time focusing on the pages” and eventually, I did love spending all day every day with my head in a textbook. (Before, I never opened a text book for any kind of work) I consciously told myself I loved everything that my subconscious told me was difficult. Until my subconscious would ask why we weren’t doing that thing we liked. And I made honor roll. With my highest grade at 115% in chem (extra credit) and 96% in physics. To be fair I was mainly doing subjects I enjoyed, but that was another big reason why I was able to stop being lazy. I realized my laziness was preventing me from doing and learning about things I actually enjoyed.

Overcoming distractions and achieving goals requires self-discipline, which comes from clarity and knowing what you want----------sometimes we don't know what we want or just feel helpless to find or achieve it Dan Koe : You can watch this and do nothing with your life because you " don't know enough to start" OR You can finally take the leap and dedicate ur life to learning and building rather than expecting everything to be given to you
When you start a business… by yourself…. YOU ARE THE PRODUCT. Figure out your strengths, personality, and skills. Market YOU. Connect with customers that MATCH YOU. Target people YOU WANT to help.
As an artist, I've always had the negative reaction to the word "business" just as you described. It's an unfortunate and limiting belief that has kept me working for studios and not for myself for several years. I'm excited to start Mental Monetization and finally start working for myself. Thanks Dan.
Im glad I transformed and doing everything Dan mentions in this clip. I also working to get closer to enlightenment, there are 4 stages and according to head monk in a temple I was staying for a while Im close to stage 2 so I just “float” around, not worrying much, working every single day towards fine tuning my goals and MY future and being selfish. You all should do the same. We come with nothing into this world and will leave it same way. Make your life count and BE HAPPY. Ask yourself what do I really WANT? Now in this very moment and in your lives.
Listening to you feels like digging deep into your emotional & psychological self to uncover hidden flaws, preventing you from being who you are & advancing in life. More effective than any session at the psychoanalyst. Thank you for raising people up through your impactful words!
Thank you for this. I want to quit my job so much and just go head first into the deep end of my goal. I’m the only one bringing in a pay check and to make matters worse where I am in getting me nowhere. I need to be in another state to make what I want to work. But I have to start where I am. I can write. I can brain storm and I have an idea. This video is something I will watch again. I wish you could go even in-depth. Thank you Dan
You dissected it so accurately, the matter. I'm in total chaos for so long it's hard to imagine anything else. I just postpone all the ideas and do only the most important
I felt confident in writing because I wrote a lot and enjoyed writing but never treated writing as a valuable tool in my business. Writing was just an enjoyable mental exercise for me. Since I didn't guide my writing in a productive way, I stopped writing because it was taking too much energy. But now it is time to take it out and use it in my business. But this time, I think I can guide myself to use writing in a more productive way. Thank you Dan for this fresh look on writing. I also realized it will be extremely productive if I write before I create a youtube video. Now I feel grateful that I did write so much in the past. All that writing wasn't in vain. But this time, I am going to write to be profitable! I can't wait to write again!
Best video you have made this far. I used to game eu4 like always. I stopped and build yt videos instead. I cant go back to eu4. The yt is my new game.
Very insightful Video. Caring about others only makes you weak by draining your energy. It’s better to utilise that energy to care and love yourself ❤️. My prayer and wishes to all of you who are chasing your dream🏃♂️.
You, legit, have thee most valuable videos I’ve come across in life advice in areas that are exactly what I’m looking for. THANK YOU for bringing value back to a domain that’s otherwise going to sh*t.

Thank you Dan, I'm so depress today but you words give me courage. 🌞
Thank you for these amazing videos. I’m building my channel slowly but surely with weekly posts. I take in everything you say and apply it when appropriate. I’m on week 20 and I’m committed to the long haul. I find your videos moving and inspiring. Keep em coming! ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽
Excellent point on the power of self-discipline in achieving goals! Remember, regular reflection on your progress and readjusting your strategies can also significantly enhance your focus and drive toward your personal ambitions. 🚀
May be the best video yet, Dan. I like how you explain identity formation and socialization. These messages of autonomy is what this age of distraction needs~
Contrary to the notion that the mind craves order, it is, in fact, inherently chaotic. The mind operates by diverging into multiple directions, enticing distractions, and perpetually scanning the environment for threats and pleasures. Attempting to sit still without thought proves difficult, regardless of the meditation technique employed. Nevertheless, achieving success in any domain necessitates understanding one’s mind and imposing a degree of order upon it. This task becomes particularly challenging in our modern age, where myriad distractions constantly vie for our attention.
Our Will seeks Order, but the rest of the brain is causing erratic disorder and affects the mind. Developing a stronger Will will help us assert Order over Entropy. I believe the region of the brain that neuroscientists say is the seat of Willpower and potentially even the will to live is called the Anterior Mid-cingulate Cortex, if I recall. It can be grown larger and developed, but most people don't know how to develop it and do things that shrink it. Addictions weaken it. Doing things we don't want to do grow it, which makes it easier to do what we don't want to do and develops our Willpower. The opposite, falling into bed habits and addiction, shrinks it, which obviously makes it harder to crawl out of and weakens the Willpower.
Hi, this is the first video of yours I’ve watched, and I had to pause near the end just to say this is one of the best videos I’ve ever watched! You gave so much valuable insights, such clarity and really helpful information. I appreciate you!!!
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
Yes, dr.sporessss I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
“I could have wrote this” (at 22:19) is grammatically incorrect. I really do like your content, so please don’t take this as anything other than constructive feedback. It’s just that I would expect a self identified writer, and one who’s selling a paid course on writing, to use excellent grammar. Anyway, I really like your messages, and it often hits home and makes me a better person. Thank you for what you do.
Holy Shit. Your videos are my absolute favorite. They always shake me with uncertainty and excitement, and help me realize the vast limitless of today if only I start taking more steps. Keep up the phenomenal work Dan!
When he said "you are sitting watching Netflix and eating snacks" I immediately put down the snacks and switched off the tv😄 cos it's one of my biggest distractions right after SM scrolling. Thanks @Dan I've told my friends about you and we're all here to learn and grow
I've started reading your blog instead of scrolling through reddit and I've been getting some ideas and further inspiration for starting an instagram brand. Appreciate you, man
I took many radical decisions that were criticised and mocked by the people around me. These turned out to be the best decisions I have ever taken, and these people would wish they had enough courage to go the similar path. But they didn't.
I do not know how to explain this feeling. You sound just like me when I'm talking with my kids. It eerie. Same words, same logic... must be on the same vibe somewhere lol.
Start writing, start creating, Start recording,start pursuing. You have enough energy. it's just too disintegrated or spread in too many directions. You just have to build it in one direction and just like that, it becomes a laser beam of energy which can penetrate any problems you face.
Appreciate you! You helped me get through late night imposter syndrome. This video felt like a course in itself. I apologize but I found your courses on the dark web, I will buy your next one though :)
I had a mental death thanks to AI art. Ruined my business plans, hobby, and joy in life entirely and a dire reminder that some skills can lose their value overnight. It's very hard to start a business all over again now that I've gone through this. Thinking of just mastering investing now, because why bother with honest work anyway when nobody freaking deserves it, just print money and go on with your life.
I agree. Besides, it's very tempting to "go with the flow". A business can only thrive if you're willing to adapt. But what if it's no longer aligned with your values? Would you still do it just because you need the money?
What about the love of it? You may not be able to charge XX$ per item, but your ability and honed talents may be helpful to others. Helping not for profits for example. Many things beyond 💵 exist.
1. visualise what you want to become.
2. Learn skills to become that version of yourself.
3. Put into action what you have learnt.
4:02 “Discipline comes from clarity not force” that was a bar 🔥
“They don’t know what you know”
Good wisdom to understand why some people won’t support your efforts
And going a step further, if they did, they'd still find a way to strike it down. That's why its so important to not need anyone to understand us. When I reached that level, I can't even tell you the mental freedom.
self discipline is the byproduct of knowing what you want and accepting nothing less from yourself.

Discipline is freedom.

Discipline is the illusion of freedom

Amazing summary! Thanks
Well done.and thank you for your excellent summary
You describe me. A million goals to focus on. Never achieving any. Spread too thinly.
Same bro same! So many ideas so less execution. Plus ADHD
@@sejwalvishu don't stigmatise yourself this way, you can dismantle this identity. All the best.
Start habit tracking and prioritize the most important habits
Find someone who can help you automate some of the tasks, work on this first.
In part that is due to being highly creative. So don’t view it negatively.
Just empower yourself to get things done in whatever way works.
When you start a business… by yourself…. YOU ARE THE PRODUCT. Figure out your strengths, personality, and skills. Market YOU. Connect with customers that MATCH YOU. Target people YOU WANT to help.

Sounds like I should sell myself. I pass.
Hi
I'm from India. I can relate to every word you spoke. You are doing a great job and the world needs great value creators like you
As an artist, I've always had the negative reaction to the word "business" just as you described. It's an unfortunate and limiting belief that has kept me working for studios and not for myself for several years. I'm excited to start Mental Monetization and finally start working for myself. Thanks Dan.
Im glad I transformed and doing everything Dan mentions in this clip. I also working to get closer to enlightenment, there are 4 stages and according to head monk in a temple I was staying for a while Im close to stage 2 so I just “float” around, not worrying much, working every single day towards fine tuning my goals and MY future and being selfish.

For real.
Good for you.🌸
I'm glad you exist.
The succinct explanation and questions used to gain clarity in this video is so much more practical than 99% of the BS on UA-cam, great job.
Listening to you feels like digging deep into your emotional & psychological self to uncover hidden flaws, preventing you from being who you are & advancing in life. More effective than any session at the psychoanalyst. Thank you for raising people up through your impactful words!
Your videos are such gem that i dont want the world to know about them 😭 but the content you share is reaching masses undoubtedly
I subbed yesterday after realizing I'd been loosely watching your channel for several months without being subscribed.
🙏🏽
I appreciate you, Dan.
Thank you for this. I want to quit my job so much and just go head first into the deep end of my goal. I’m the only one bringing in a pay check and to make matters worse where I am in getting me nowhere. I need to be in another state to make what I want to work. But I have to start where I am.

Good luck my friend 👍❤️
“You will eventually hit a ceiling in a job. Someone is in charge of the limit you can reach” That hits me hard
Needed this! I’ve been relentlessly pursing something not because of me but because of pressures. Thank you for the reminder
Dan, you are the modern day guru. Thank you
Thanks I appreciate
You dissected it so accurately, the matter. I'm in total chaos for so long it's hard to imagine anything else. I just postpone all the ideas and do only the most important
This is the path I have chosen for the rest of my life. I like this path so much. Thank you Dan for this value addition
There’s no way I couldn’t NOT comment on this. The gems you dropped made me have to note them down. Thank you. ❤
The best thing I ever did was subscribe to your UA-cam channel!!!
A lot of people think they don't care but they actually do a lot.
That's them their life
I felt confident in writing because I wrote a lot and enjoyed writing but never treated writing as a valuable tool in my business. Writing was just an enjoyable mental exercise for me.

Thanks for delivering to us such as informative and motivating video❤
Thank you for this video
Start writing, start creating,
Start recording,start pursuing.
You have enough energy. it's just too disintegrated or spread in too many directions.
You just have to build it in one direction and just like that, it becomes a laser beam of energy which can penetrate any problems you face.
Might be my favorite video
