Gentlemen, we are at war every single day. From the moment you open your eyes until you lay your head down. Don't let anyone push you down and keep moving forward!
I can't express how important and enlighting your videos are. Much like Jordan Peterson, you allow me to articulate the ideas already in my head. The thing on introverted game, declaring war on your past, and the feeling of staying stagnant. I love you man and one day I'll meet you and thank you personally for all the shit you've helped me through
Holy fucking shit dude - Hands down your channel is life changing - Its raw as fuck - no sales bullshit - no hidden motive - You are just building up the people around you. Thankyou!
Miamoto Musashi and Marcus Aurelius; both lived hundreds of years ago in the past, both knew they had to carve through their enemies even though they loved peace, just like you had to give up on your character to be in a relationship. You have to be bold enough to sacrifice your sense of humanity in order to forge your heart into a steel, an unbreakable one. You will suffer either way, but each day you will have to choose the pain of regret or the pain of discipline.
Man, this really comes out of my heart. I am a man, a strong man but these emotions I feel are real. If it wasn't for you I don't know if I would still feel like life was worth living for. Your videos are so helpful and really a lifeline for me. Your words sound and resonate so clear, make so much sense. I recognize myself a lot in your past self. "Embrace the FUCKING SUFFERING!!!" reminds me of WHEN THe Rohirrim marched upon Minas Tirith, DEATHHHHH, DEATHHH. a little bit more of this in our lives, let's go
12:00-12:40 lol i was just listening not watching, i thought you were still reading from the passage when you said 'learn to grow a fucking pair of nuts, & grab them'
Thank God for you bro. I started my self-improvement journey when I was 24 years old (I'm 28 now). There are days where I get very depressed and angry with myself because of my past and I played victim all the time before I started improving. It's videos like this that REMIND me of my work. It's videos like this that make me grateful that your words can serve as a reminder to me rather than a brand new idea. I couldn't imagine being 28 years old just now realizing that I could take control of my life lol. I'm grateful because I'm almost confident that had I stayed the same, there's a good chance I never would've found you. I was once again beating myself up about my life just 20 mins ago and here I am thanking you. Much love Elisha.
I love to see how your mind and thinking ist growing! Keep up your good work bro, you're an inspiration for a lot of us. Best wishes from Germany, Berlin
boi what you have said in this video definitely is the best thing i heard in 2019 and should be written in gold for me i was thinking about this for a long time and been stuck in this rut of consuming “ knowledge “ “ techniques “ “ tips & tricks “ for years and years only to make my problems worse and more the reason to not be present in the moment it ruined me more than it helped me but I won’t deny it opened my eyes for many perspectives and ideas i won’t regret knowing but everyone got a fucking opinion its INSANE !!!!
Good word. A reminder to be conscious of the stories we tell ourselves. Stories of failure, rejection, etc. Stories about how women are this way or men are all that way. Stories of just not good enough. Saying things to ourselves like I didn't, I can't, I should of, I could of, I wish, etc. None of these say to ourselves what we are doing about it.
I also had my parents telling me I had potential. They knew I was strong so I believe It is a matter of strength, consistency and perseverance. As the time went by the things that surrounded me made me doubt about myself. But trusting, being the flow and and the getting the traits I mentioned above got me back on track. I can't wait for 2019 to come. Peace & love✌🏼😌
I love your channel I also like self development and becoming a better person for others and myself. Being creative and living my life with no limits, it is not a easy road there are a lot of bumps and potholes, it will be worth it in the end, which doesn’t really exist.
Damn, I reflect with the high school shit. Crazy how that shit stays ingrained in our psyche even much later deep down. Still attractive better social skills but deep down feel like a loser...
Yo man, I think you should read Vagabond. It's a manga that is a historical fictional take on Miyamoto Mushashi's life and rise to greatness. It talks about life, the human condition, goals, and more, and Mushashi himself is a great character, very fleshed out, and is truly a real human on paper.
Hey Elisha you should check out the story of Chandragupta Maurya. His story is a textbook example of the warrior mentality and the absolute abandonment of the Loser mentality.
So much energy you have man, Hey, can you please make a video on dealing with ADHD (Attention Deficit Disorder), also I recommend you to read the book 'Inner Engineering by Sadhguru', you will like it
@@ElishaLong Thanks a lot for replying. My problems are both short term and long term. 1. Have important task to do: My mind seems like restricts me from doing it and finds excuses in form of: drink tea then do it, watch the youtube video (thats how i landed on your video today), and third one, whenever i am very creative, after a while, a surge of anxiety rushes in my stomach that urges me to poop immediately, and that time i poop a lot, otherwise i am constipated for 2days. 2. Till date, i never finished any of my personal goals in the long term, either because i get another better thing to do. Mind is always interested in searching the next new idea to work on, but never sticks on one for a long time to complete it. And i have somewhat realized its because of anxiety -> procrastination -> anxiety loop If i procrastinate for long, more anxiety builds up which prevents me to do the task i started but stopped. So i made a slow entry technique where i set a timer of 5 mins, and work. But despite all these fighting with myself, I just want to be free from all these resistances, its a pain for me. I think too much, My thoughts wander when i need to work. This may go with not practicing it, but I am trying hard for long enough and its painful for me. 3. Mental Inertia: If I start doing a task, If i quit it for some reason, i cant get my head off it (or cant concentrate on current task). Say i played flute for a while, then i have to write a article, my mind is always on intertia of playing the flute. In summary,high mental resistance in doing important task, unable to shift focus where its needed, creativity-anxiety is my problem, and i have hard time dealing with it. I also tried meditation, but again, as my mind has hard time shifting focus, if i tell myself 'meditiate' which i think is important, i procrastinate on it and dont do it altogether. What is the root problem ? In essence, by the 80/20 rule, my mind likes to do the 80% in detail but gets into anxiety while doing the important 20%. Also recently I shifted to a new town so I am isolated completely from friends, It doesnt bug me much because I am learning much about myself in isolation, but seemingly its also boosting my ADHD more. --------------------------------------------------------- One success story for me is on a Nofap technique of mine. I tried hard for almost 5 years, failing at 7day, 20day, 30 day..but always feared that someday i will bust it and all be a waste. And everytime i relapsed, i binged on it 5+ times a day for a week thinking this will be the last time. Then I have read somewhere that what you resist, persists, embrace it and it will dissolve. Tried this on nofap and it seems to work. From past 3 months, I fapped whenever my body urges to and dont give any thought to it (either negative or positive). When i relapsed, its 1-2 times max without much interest for more. And, now i have very less interest in PMO, which i think will go away completely one day, but i dont fear it anyway. Final thought is, people like you are a blessing for us. Love you.
Elijah, I don't know if this comment will ever reach you, but thank you this was an amazing video and I will try to get some skin in the game. Thank you.
So if I find comfort in learning more about what went wrong and what I could’ve done better in certain situations should I follow this urge to keep learning more via videos etc.? Or am I subconsciously telling myself that I’m not good enough already by always seeking more knowledge? It’s hard to find a balance sometimes.
This video really reminds me of the 24 year old go-getter. Which isn't good cause this video is literally telling you to stay away from those concepts/ideas
@@ElishaLong Well in your video you explained to get away from concepts and get to action instead, which is solid advice. Everyone gets so rooted up in internal ideas that they forget to take action, I do it all the time. But then this video reminded me of the 24 year old go-getter, which is a meme/concept in and of itself. Not a criticism of the video, just something random that I thought of and associated with
i felt that but i smh started to enjoy it. Another good way to learn are audiobooks, that's how I started, just listening to it on the train and stuff..
Elisha can you give me advice? I feel like im stuck in a circle,when im inside (usually playing games) i feel bad because of all the things im missing in life but when i go out i feel depressed because i see ppl in relationships enjoying or whatever and im out with my family.Its like none of those 2 sides doesent feels good,i mean i know i need to break the circle but where,how? its also causing me to fail NOFAP, preventing from going to the gym (but i do some simple workouts at home)
Elisha I need your help bro. So I’ve been seeing a therapist for my porn addiction, she has been a lot of help but she is super Catholic like literally a nun. She has brought god back in my life and I like that but I don’t want to get too affiliated and attached to religion because it causes me to feel a lot of guilt and shame on myself. And I’ve started having these strange thoughts like “if I go to church and become too catholic I’m going to have to become a priest and won’t be able to get a girlfriend or a wife some day, or have sex at all.” I originally started nofap to to start talking to more girls and increase my self confidence. This thought of possibly becoming a priest is terrifying man that wasn’t the goal of all this at all. I can’t get to the gym at all now or set the goals I’ve wanted to.
Just chill out bro. Learn to do things without attaching yourself to them. Look first you were a porn addict and to “cure” it you dived into the church. The root of the problem is the addictive trait you have, either find a way to channel that obsessiveness to a positive and fulfilling goal or eradicate the additive trait. I personally recommend the former over the latter.

2019 is gonna be our year! Lets do it for real bro! Be ruthless
Let's go....

LETS FUKKIN DO IT!!!!!!!
Let‘s do this...
I know your videos are for guys but I still like them and I think they are helpful for anyone needing some inspiration for their lives. 💖
Holy fucking shit dude - Hands down your channel is life changing - Its raw as fuck - no sales bullshit - no hidden motive - You are just building up the people around you. Thankyou!
You're the best bro youtube has to offer.
"more books, theories, and thinking only make the problem worse" that is probably the realest thing ive ever heard
“Get out there, and get some skin in the game.”
Damn this hit me hard. I know what I have to do now.
Knowledge was never the answer... end of the video made me have a realisation. It’s all action, I’m in control. Thank you Elisha

stick to the old timeless ideas of the greeks, that's your education in self-help, nothing else
Everyone looks for enlightenment, but the action of searching equals losing. Don’t search, feel. Just like Bruce Lee said “Don’t think, feel”
You dropping some serious books in the beginning. Gotta build that Iron mentality.

I replayed 8:17 to 9 about 10 times. Very profound shit Elisha.
I listen to this daily
Been watching you for a year probably top3 informatively deep videos I have seen of you

You said exactly what I’ve been telling a buddy of mine. Thanks for taking the time to post this
Thank you man.
beautiful man
Great video as always, inspired as hell to take action.
All I am gonna say is thank you .
im loving your videos, im getting my first spot feb 7 and embarking on my journey, thank you bro
the message i got out of this is just relax and dont overthink stuff. this vid also made me want to read up on japanese history
Anyone read Vagabond? It's pretty sick.
The art in that manga is sublime.
I also had my parents telling me I had potential. They knew I was strong so I believe It is a matter of strength, consistency and perseverance. As the time went by the things that surrounded me made me doubt about myself. But trusting, being the flow and and the getting the traits I mentioned above got me back on track.
