SUMMARY - Actualized - One Simple Rule For Acing Life
Rule: Always do whats emotionally most difficult in whatever situation you are.
Do the exact opposite of what most people and you do.
Most people look for the most convenient thing. this leads to a mediocre and frustrating life.
It applies to the way you think, your mood, your goals, relationship, finances
Living a good life is counter intuitive, you have to do against what the herd, society is doing
your mind is unconsciously programmed to find emotionally security and comfort.
you are always looking for the emotional short cut
it takes study of your psychology to see that all you do applies to looking for comfort and security.
This creates a lot of problems
Before you can unwire it you have to realize, see it.
you have to realize that you cant live a good life if you are seeking comfort and security. 6:00
Culture, society, etc, is designed to feed that emotional weasel in you longing for emotional security and comfort.
you want no emotional easy life but a self ectualized life. this is the emotional hard way.
Depression, dissatisfaction comes from emotional weaseling
eg. school
emotional difficult thing is to read the text book, taking hardes classes
youtube: emotional difficult is to not click on stupid cat videos
afraid: not feed into fear with more worry, not panic
relationship: establishing clear lines of communication
loosing weight: giving up sweets and going to gym 10:00
advertisement refers to your low consciousness weasel longing for emotional easiness
arguement: considering that you are the wrong one
debate: adopting the other side
church: question all your beliefs about the church
dating: walking up to a cute girl/boy and talking with
criticism: taking criticism seriously and taking it as feedback
life in generally: sitting down and turning off mind and meditating
your emotional weasel resists that, he does not want to be bored by just sitting
presenting information: presenting the facts objectively without eggagerating
business: creating lots of value without asking for payment in return
Taking a self help program: sitting down and doing every exercise that is told
spiritual work: admit your own wishful thinking. saing that all ideas how spirituality works is bullshit, complete ficiton 17:30
life in general: questioning your culture.
managing finances: serving money for retiring
having sex: using a condom
health: getting that scary lab test done, going to the gym
business: not taking short cuts, building solid business on solid foundation
life in general: not doing what your friends and family are doing
angryness: staying mindful through that anger, not loosing yourself in it
getting power: not abusing this power
People would have incredible success, mood, relationships, health, business if they lived this principle
this is no magic pill, it is a high quality advice
Dont look for short cuts
Leo is often not able to do the emotional difficult thing too
society feeds your emotional lazy weasel
you will have piece of mind, dying happy, being happy applying this principle
if you are fed up with depression, anxiety, bad mood, bad relationship, whatever you are fed up with exercise doing the emotional most difficult
Bite the bullet, dont look for magic solutions, do the emotional labor requred, its not bad as you think it is, it feels refreshing to your spirit
Thanks Leo
It was emotionally difficult to read all that but I did it
Tough but true. Always give your extra mile and you will one step ahead of others.
Sebastian
Ruben Barajas others are you. Who are you going to be one step ahead of? We are all here, in these bodies, on this planet... we are all the same
Thanks for the summary Sebastian!
28:12 - 4 Years Later Leo. Since learning this I worked out my body into excellent shape (6-pack and all), coming from a childhood where I didn't play sports. Got out of a toxic relationship and have since had a dating life beyond what I could have imagined. Stopped smoking weed and started meditating. And finally turned to pursuing my financial independence full time, using what you taught. [Plus a lil marketing advice from Eben ;)] Thanks Leo. This really was the key insight that helped spark some radical change!
Any other changes you can say?
Happy for you! I wish i had a 6 pack and all lol XD
I totally get this. Deeply. I used to be 400 pounds 8 years ago. During that time, in those moments, each second was agony because all I craved was ANY kind of pleasure. And because I couldn't get pleasure physically and I couldn't get it mentally because my self-image was shot, the only way I got it was from eating food. The same exact thing that was destroying me was the only source of pleasure I had. Now, I'm the healthiest I've ever been, not only physically, but mentally as well--which I found to be the most important of the two and the most conducive to a good, satisfying life. The longer I put up with emotionally difficult things (exercise, learning, socializing) the more I took a step towards improvement. The "better version of me" is smarter, a clearer thinker, sexier, more confident, adventurous. There is so much to enjoy in life on a difficult journey.
Yves Tiongson Good for you!
"It's like we are living in an abusive relationship with society"
Leo Gura you are a deep thinker man
I really want someone to make a compilation of all the times he has said "heeeyyyyyyy this is leo"
+Charlie Crome Challenge accepted
+Charlie Crome for what?
+Joseph-Benjamin Mutuc we place our trust in you.
that would be so funny xD
did you do it?
You are real as fuck and I am really glad I came across your videos. Thank you.
You're so real Leo. You make me re-think my life. I wanna come up to that standard. It's the most revolutionary video I've ever watched in my life. You speak Not to Sell things but to make me think about me. Great inspiration! Thank you.
Rizwan Qamar completely agree
i work at a treatment center for youth and showed this to the students today. Lots of commentary during the video from them.
+Judy Ceccherini Thanks for sharing :)
Amydurst. You really make sense thanks I do listen the problem is most people don't pay attentio
Brilliant 👍🏽
You say the things I don't want to hear
leo is the human manifestation of the red pill
Leo you are the King of self-improvement!
Dear Leo,
The more I watch your videos the more certain I become that you, my friend, are a BEAUTIFUL specimen of human species, and the one actually (pun slightly intended) worth being called a role model... I also think that you would make the most amazing father ever. Hands down.
Thank you for everything that you do, may you find peace and happiness on each and every step of the way!
Lots of love from the Balkans!
You think too highly of me. But thanks for the benefit of the doubt.
I literally paused the video and sent good weird vibes his way. Bless him
Actualized.org, Your Videos are Very Helpful. Thank you!
"Question your culture"
For an Arab woman, Nobody can imagine how emotionally difficult it has been to me! Since I was 19, I have been struggling with my culture, and yet still standing! :)
thats racist
Heard radwa
@@jonwalts2763 Literally not racism lmao
I feel ya, I disagree on many bullshit in our culture, you do you & live your life on your own terms, at the end of the day it’s your life not their life
Radwa...Leo here is talking about "questioning your culture" that does not necessarily mean "going against your culture". We should question all our beliefs including the religious one and as a result we may agree or disagree with the beliefs and take our course of action. For example I am a Muslim and I questioned most of my beliefs and then came to actually a conclusion that I am infact following the right religion and the beliefs.
This is one of the best pieces of content I've come across on UA-cam this year! Thanks for taking the time to share this with us all! :-)
Ikr
Basically what I take from this is growth is a byproduct of suffering. We must go against the EGO at every turn and in every way EVERY time we have the chance. Powerful
Terrible advice, its not suffering, its expanding your tastes and pushing boundaries by being comfy in the process, gosh, pamper yourself, you are God for gods sake.
When I first heard you speak, within the first minute I got the vibe that, this guy meditates for sure. Then at 15:05 you mention it. And yes I agree with you, that is the huge one - meditation is life changing and definitely the emotionally hardest thing to do when you witness your own mind.
Yeah, right? When you meditate, you can spot people who has very calm vibe so you know they meditate too :)
My IQ points actually increase when I watch your videos.
CoachCarroll No they don't, that's just your ego telling you that 😉
Yeah then they decrease when you click over to a cat video.
They don't, but they have the potential to if you take the videos seriously and apply the advices in you real life, and more importantly, your EQ increases!
If people really put in the hard work and determination they would honestly live completely different lives. I love each and every one of Leo's videos because they are not filled with bullshit and sugar coating. He is realistic. And in the end of the day that is the most true advice one can follow. As a girl in university I have gone through really bad anxiety. It got to the point where I would avoid school because of panic attacks. After a while, as uncomfortable as it was I forced myself to go to the one place that would trigger my anxiety and challenge it. Now, because I made the conscious decision to not take the most easy and comfortable way, I no longer get anxious. If anyone is afraid or uncomfortable always challenge yourself! It will be so rewarding.
I'll be giving you money for telling me this stuff Leo, keep up the great work. I'm inspired. It's all starting to work out for me. Thank you.
Greetings from Belgium!
Frenchie here, Bonjour! :)
Bonjour! :)
Great video, I agree entirely. Over the past few weeks I have done a lot of things outside my comfort zone and it really does change your life for the better
I can certainly agree with this one.
The moment I begin to dread meditating, I immediately go and meditate.
Christopher Merritt good for you!! I find it really hard too, especially lately. I have been kicking myself a lot to get back on it. stuck in that motivationless rut again, I need it more than ever
Good point! I'll do that right now!
"Always do the one things that's emotionally the most difficult to do."
Catching my self weasel at play is key. Then choosing the difficult emotion. Pushing through the fear for the joy & love of life. Thank you Leo.
I have watched many videos of yours, but I just noticed today that you have beautiful eyes.
I gave up drinking. I needed AA to do it. AA might be the best thing I have ever done for my personal development. Watching Leo’s videos have also helped. Thanks handsome.
My emotional weasel didn't want to watch this entire video until the end, it didn't even want to click on it...
But I did it!
And I meditate everyday and I love it
in many cases people actually fight against the thing that would benefit them the most. And feel pride in not participating in those activities.
Hey leo, thank you for your free content. My life, thought process, my surroundings, getting better day by day.... Thank you so much
Good for you! ;-)
I hope you never plan on quitting my friend. Your videos contain some of the best advice I have ever received. You have helped me dig out of a very dark place in my life and I am truly grateful.
I love you! You're literally changing my life!!
This video grabbed me by the shirt and kicked my weasel ass. Thanks Leo, I really needed this one.
Ha ha !
"If you do what's easy, your life's going to be hard, If you do what's hard, your life's gonna be easy "
I love how extremely necessary this channel is. After UA-cam I usually feel like I wasted time. This is actually relevant.
Leo, thank you so much for all you have done. You helped me out significantly all the way from the beginning of my first love (over a year ago) with the how to make a girl squirt video ;) And then through the break-up where I started denying your philosophies about love. I thought love was a fairy tale and we were "meant to be!" NOPE :D and over time really surrendering myself to what you have to say, because please take the following as a compliment: these are not your own philosophies, because you speak the TRUTH. You're helping me and giving me great insights into spiritual enlightenment (people literally think i'm crazy because all I feel is joy all the time.) Fuck society! I'll be extremely happy whether you answer or not, but just know you're doing great things. Much love - Alex
+Alex Hagendorf Cool
Alex Hagendorf which video is that?
Which video is what?
The ‘girl squirt’ video, wow, how hard could that be ? You wrote those words !
I have been fighting my emotional weasel all my life and didn't know it until now. I am extremely uncomfortable when I'm in my comfort zone. Love and appreciate deep diving...thank you Leo!!
This is one of the most significant and powerful videos you've created. Wow!
Hi Leo Im a student from Korea. I just deleted all of junk internet apps and SNS apps. I've been suffering from anxiety disorder for very long time and I just learned to accept and care myself and that was really helpful. However, I always thought that my life is boring and becoming something that I never wanted. But after watching your video, I finally feel like I managed to find the right way of my life. Yet I might still be anxious, depressed and gloomy, I will try my best to do my best to live 'my' life. You are my hero Leo. I feel like I just started to change my life. Thx!!!
Your videos have changed my life. Thank you.
Leo, this is frankly the best self-help and growth advice I have ever heard in my life. And believe me I 've seen hundreds of motivational videos on UA-cam. You changed my life!
I wish the best to you man!
OMGGGG this helped me to the extend that I made youtube ID and my chennel to post this comment here. This is my first comment on youtube olalalaa.. Thanks Leo for such a great motivation. I hope continues improvement like a rocket hahha
You can have no idea what so ever how much your knowledge helps me in changing my life for better! I won't share publicly what place I was in when I stumbled upon your channel, but I will say that within just few weeks I moved FAR away from that place and I am not looking to go back, ever!
*sound of chocolate bar dropping* I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS DIET WAS A LIE!@!!! Great vid ;).
Leo you are the savior of my life, a complete turn around, as i'm listening to this i teared up as i implemented ur principal in my psychic, i was having so much confusions which i never faced for the fear of getting it worse than ever regarding with my inner psychic on how unexplainable things work but now that i applied ur principle into it, i feel a huge burden inside my chest being lifted up and now gone, everything i have been ignoring somehow wishfully thinking in my subconscious mind it would go away is now almost gone, i have found a solution because of you, you can even write a whole book on this video topic, also i believe the order of ur videos each week are very back and forth (for example, the next week video kinda explains the confusion the previous week video could put it out) i really appreciate how you even think about ur viewers , it's 2am i'm going to meditate (going aganist my emotions) i've been wanting to start for months now, leo again thanks you
Hey Leo. I started to watch this video yesterday and I stopped, because you were telling things that I don't want to hear. I was avoiding this video, because I know it would suppose to assume my own fears, and that was veeery uncomfortable. So, I wake up to this morning and I solved the problem that was worrying myself. It was difficult, but well, you were right, it was also the key to feel better :)
Good for you!
Look, don't take this the wrong way. Bootstrapping.
This is a brilliant video Leo! I wanted to get in shape and gave up junk food completely and have been going to the gym for a year now. The results have been worth it! You say the right stuff, but do it in a way that makes people want to listen to you. You narrate ideas like a story instead of a lecture. Keep up to great work! Cheers!
This is one of my favorite video's, just watched it for the 2nd time.
YOU ALREADY STARTED CHANGING MY TAKE ON THE LIFE. THANKS. GOD BLESS YOU.
Appreciate these posts Leo, I wholeheartedly thank you
Even when you try to set up a destination,goal in your life the emotion come and give you the option that is emotionally easy for you to chose. And when you ignore that and chose something from your heart now you gotta fight against your homeostasis.
Appreciate your video Leo! I been watching your video for 1 year. I want to say thank you. And i hope you have peace in your heart
The most emotionally difficult thing after watching this video was to share this with a friend. I was like fuck this.. This is precious...Not gonna share it.... but I still did it....... thanks to leo.....
Once again another awesome video! I swear this channel came to me at the perfect season in my life. Let’s go deeper brother!
I meditate 8 hours a day while sleeping.
bigboss2011 How? Lol
😀
Lol
Just challenge yourself, and work on everything to the best of your own potential. There is a woman named Barbara Arrowsmith who had a naturally fragmented mind since she was born, at 25 she couldn't tell time or understand simple concepts. She ended up working on her self and was able to repair her brain. But the big takeaway is that you can get anything out of life so long as you work hard enough for it as cheesy as it sounds, taking the emotionally hard route builds you up. I think the difference between humans and other beings is that we have the capability to challenge ourselves and to grow. So thank you Leo for your in depth talks, and for the work you give.
hello leo!
me as a social worker loves your ideas and structure of your videos! you make great work.
:)
I recognized from the start that this channel was a great source of awesome advice, but with every video i'm more impressed by the things i can learn here. It's hard to believe that a youtube channel (lol , all other channels i watch are just dumb entertainment) can help me change my life for the better in significant ways.
I hope the gods bless you with eternal life , Leo.
Life changing info! Damm - The Obstacle is really the way! Thank U Leo!
I watched this video a while ago, forgot about it, re-discovered it by myself recently, and now I'm watching this video again. Life is crazy.
In short you are saying step out of the comfort zone..
shailesh navale the point of actualized is not to just give a simple answer but an in depth explanation.
Step out of your emotional comfort zone yes...
Leo spits nothing but flames! I love this video
Leo. as i progress through pyramid, Ive actually experienced this by accident by frustration. when u have that moment of "fUCK I fucking hate this shit but I'm NOT letting this goal go, (it means more to me than that) and I WANT to and WILL create the reality for this goal if I can't fit this goal into my fuckin comfortable little reality cabin" like for example I was sitting here making a beat and got pissed cuz I got into a hellish spiral of frustration, trying to let it go, along with enforcing creativity. more so led me to the main frustration of me not uderstandig why making beatss isn't easy (yet) still after since 2010 of constantly carving at my craft. its not anything physical. better equipment isnt guna help. so now the all mighty scary truth came up (as result of my firmness to find the actual truth about it) of me asking myself if I'm ever going to really make a any at al from music or not? then i had 2choices. figure out what's wrong, (go through the hard tough rugged roaded adventure) or just simply quit and perdue whatever "feels" better. but what broke this down to the next step was me coming back to my roots and realizing why I loved making beats in the first place. not necessarily money or for people to like my music (I've failed over and over again and have YET to sell my first beat), but as a way to express myself and ALSO me making me led me to a harsh awakening that I am very thankful for and honestly is my key to the universe into understanding frequency (obviously), vibration, energy, and most important of all that still I hold till this day is duality, understanding the connection between me and source, and how powerful expression is. all I have to say till now is thank you. I cry of appreciation of you. you have no clue how dramatically you've changed my life with such high insight that you spread helping people wake up. words can't describe the gratitude i feel of what you do for this world
too long didn't read
I SO AGREE OMG
Yes. Leo has changed the way how i deal with my mom's constant neurotic-narcissistic-negative (NNN) person (cus i lived with her and as a lived-in home care assist which my brother pays an annual $25k salary to me to take care our mom). Leo has helped me of age 48 (has nothing if i die tmw) to grow and "not get into an explosive anger" with her when she is in her NNN state. Oh by the way, I owed my mom $525,000. She loaned me her "entire savings - this money over the last 7 yrs" and i lost them all in whatever bullshit business (real estate crash) i was doing. I had tremendous guilt including addiction (not drug but don't want to say) and all the bad stuff i don't want to mention. I first came to accept myself "by watching your videos" and learn to gradually stop the addiction, then accept my mom. Oh by the way, you are not going to believe this. But I am going to tell you like it happened. Just not too long ago, my mom realized she has this NNN problem, too. She, yes, during my father (who is a pastor now passed-away) baptism of a fellow church goer, my mom went up to the podium and in front of the audience and ask for "MY Forgiveness" and two legs fully knee down while washing my foot in front of 57 congregation members and with tears in her eyes saying, "I am so sorry to you son, please forgive my trespass".
This has always been my favourite video from Leo
It’s helped me so much since I’ve watched it, really difficult to do but once you get a flow of it you really see the benefits later on
Thanks Leo 🙏
Be well
Makes sense ..on paper
But (there's allways one isnt't it?)
As you listed all those emotional difficult things to do i realised that i was doind every one of them ... and yet i feel as empty and unhappy a ever before. The truth is that all that stoicism that is "doing the emotional difficult thing" only eroded my soul. Now, at 30, i'm begening to learn to do the exact oppsite, to do the emotional easy thing, to take a break, to be more tollerant with myself, to endulge every now and then...
I now find that the key is to know yourself and to follow your intuition ... and of course dont forget about the proverbial moderation.
I think you can have your cake and eat it too. For me, Leo's message is to take the emotional high road to start to untangle your nature of doing things the easy way. I think 'easy' here is relative to the person, so very subjective. However, if you have a different starting point, such as only doing the emotionally difficult thing (that's sounds like no one I know), maybe the opposite can work. Could your cultural background have something to do with this?
Traian Constantin I did the same as you did and got severly burnout for 3 years straight, overworking, overdieting, overexcerising, overstudyingen. The key to a happy and fullfulling life is to do everything in moderation.....
Daniel Webster be mindfull of your emotions and body. I recently discovered I had heart palpitations 24/7, and was out of breath after walking up the stairs.....not a good sign
I got the burnt out feeling after years of hard emotional work. I now think the key is not to avoid hard things, but to do everything in a relaxed state. For people who make hard things look easy, it is easy for them, because they're relaxed. In the past where I would ignore myself if something feels wrong or too difficult, I stop, relax, and go easier. The progression continues, but at a much slower pace and one that I can adapt to.
+crcaccount I relate to this so much. I have caved so many times in the face of hardship. As you say, slowing down is key, it allows things to be workable. But the back of my mind says 'time is ticking, you aren't getting any younger, you've been through this before, why aren't you better, already?'. I think when we take these thoughts too literally, we get anxious and form negative opinions of ourselves.
This is brilliant. And this video really hit me, because yesterday I'd just talked with my girlfriend on how I have been taking the "emotional easy way" with my parents, which I'm trying to change. And then this video comes up, so that I'm hit with a powerful 1-2 punch, that says "wake up!"
So I guess what I'm saying is, that I really appreciate how you keep punching out the hard truths, in a "no nonsense" way each week, and I'm looking forward to more eyeopening lessons.
seems like a version of stepping out of your comfort zone
+Astfresser A synonym for it that is, except it's more clear in my opinion.
I like very much the interpretation of Leo even if it is similar ideas. Thank you very much Leo :)
YES! AGREE 100%
+Astfresser I think this is beyond comfort zone, which to me always has seemed very general and a way to not fully commit to changing
+Alvin Burrell
That doesn't make sense man. Stepping out of your comfort zone will does not limit change it promotes it. What are you talking about?
In a parable, this reminds me of human diseases, like chicken pox. If you run away from chicken pox, you body doesn’t know how to fight it off since it doesn’t know what it is. The ‘trick’ is to safely but deliberately inject your body with chicken pox (!) so that your body becomes IMMUNE to it. In the same idea with emotions, Leo, you are inviting us all to become ‘emotionally immunised’ using the same parable. We are still emotional for sure, only once conquered, we become less ‘afraid’ to conquer new areas of life like opening up new doors to previously unconquered personal territory. The more difficult the emotional task, the more things in life that we can overcome. Lovely idea! :)
no pain, no gain...
I always faced all the pain of life consciously. I'm not a masochist, but I met Masters like OSHO, Gurdjieff, Ouspensky, when I was 18. Since then, I practice meditation at all times, at all circumstances. Today, at 53 years old, I'm not awake, however, I have an extraordinary force which makes me continue to experience fully alert all kind of misfortune. I never sought suffering because I didn't need. My life in itself, spontaneously, is hell enough.
All us guys need to do is not masturbate this will utterly change your life
The material you present here is water. This is the wisdom of the world. Leo's videos are the key to life. Honestly.
From South Africa
with great respect for Actualized.org and Leo
36 minutes doesn't sound too simple.
kid just doesnt how much its already compressed
You're a honest, intelligent and wise man, I'm your fan, I share your videos with my sons ( I'm 65 and know I have to learn a lot and want to) congratulations for sharing all your knowledge for free!
"give a man a fish and he'll feed for a day, teach him to fish and he'll feed for a lifetime" springs to mind.
This is gold. This is not a magic pill, but a plan in one rule. This is what I needed since I recently moved out of my parents house at 18 and all I looked for was shit to fill a void and avoid fears of being alone and knowing who I really am.
Who would not click a like on here! This is good shit!!!
Everytime I listen to the same video, it's like my mind catches something I didn't before and things start to get more clearer. I wish I could just broadcast this on national television for everyone to see. Very empowering! Love ya. Literally.
Thank you. A real gem.
I feel sorry for people who don't know about you. You are truly a gift to us. Thank you God.
I love you and everything that you represent
+Jack H no, thank you
+Jack H Thank you Jack, you are amazing
Hey Leo, I explored this emotionally difficult way of life as a style of living 4 years back, but i haven't been taking it that seriously. Now that i am 20, everyday i wake up, there is an excitement, and i can feel it that if i encourage that excitement for taking pain and actually working out and working hard for becoming a better man when i am older, there is a fear, and by now i can totally feel that working hard would make me happier, why am i so afraid that it makes sitting and just watching rock videos with my nicotine gums look somewhat appealing in some sick way.(I feel my answer is in my question. this self actualizing treasure is amazing! gentle taps on your white head!)
I believe that everything we do is to fill the void caused by existential anxiety. If you take the easy path, you are filling your life with instant gratification that will soon destroy you, if you live by this rule Leo is talking, you are filling the void with good stuff.
Still, I believe humans need to evolve into something more than just filling the void. Even animals do that, when my dog gets bored he starts destroying the house. I don't know how we would evolve, maybe by having a clear purpose since the day you are born (lack of purpose causes the void).
If we don't evolve, mankind will soon go extinct, by destroying our environment and/or ourselves with meaningless conflicts, wars and the culture of consuming shit to fill the void.
What are your toughts on this Leo?
Thanks for the awesome videos as always
You may be onto something ;)
One of the most important videos you will ever watch for real.
Path of most resistance
I've had many sleepless nights before having to face a difficult moment and every time I got through it. I gained so much. Growth is so uncomfortable but the confidence you gain after busting through fears is priceless. Many wonder how people "have it easy", it's because they do what most are too afraid to do. I call it being responsible and taking care of business. Great Video!!!
dude you rock
26:32 - 'Psychologically, society is not as advanced as we think it is. Our technology is far more advanced than our social psychology'.
I thought this was a profound insight!
It is good stuff for my English, thanks
yeah man, my English has been improved already, and also my accent and fluency have been improved by watching this channel.
Mine too! Learnt so much new words and now I'm just pausing the video and repeating everything Leo says to get better at pronouncing.
Big thanks for this. I've known this for a long time but a part of me still kicks against having to face discomfort in order to make progress. On one level, it almost feels like you're doing something wrong if moving towards your goals feels so uncomfortable or painful. But I like the way you've put it here. It's a law that's counterintuitive. You have to recognise and live by it no matter how counterintuitive it feels.
Thank you, Leo, this was really helpful :)
As all you're videos are
for about a year i was down by a hard depression
i underestimated myself so much that i couldn't look at other peoples faces, and of course i didn't see the purpose in life.
yesterday your channel was introduce to me by a friend and since than my life ha changed.
i'm fighting with my past pattern of thoughts, doing whats emotionally hard and understanding the purpose of it.
all though its a short time, i know your tips are a part of my life for now on, so thank you, personally, stav.
you are awesome
This has allowed me to save me from my miserable addictions that have been running my life in order to deepen my self mastery. What a wonderful person for allowing me this possibility.
Am i the only one who haven't seen a single cat video?
I can't afford therapy. I've been in counseling before and I benefited from it. Your channel has been a God send for me. I'm starting fresh with a new job and perspective on life after a protracted mourning period over a tragic loss and these sessions give me the tools to do so. Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️
Leo if I follow this single principle, will it be my ticket to the self-actualized life?
In looking for a ticket you failed to follow this single principle
;)
+Actualized.org Hahaha I see what you did there.
Leo I have applied this principle on and off with dating and my school work, I study at UC Berkeley, and I have seen results in grades and with girls; however, I hate to describe it this way but before I started to see results I have been utterly exhausted and extremely fearful. But I keep re-watching this video, and I repeat to myself everyday "At any given moment always do the most emotional difficult thing to do." I'm even thinking of tattooing this on my arm.
It has work but when a new day comes I feel a lot of resistance to consistently apply this rule. It's a clean slate as new challenges arises and I go through the pain and fear again of studying or talking to cute girls. I feel like I'm at war with myself - described by Steven Pressfield's The War of Art.
How can I train myself at doing the most emotionally difficult thing at any given moment without feeling painful resistance? I do not want to interpret these feelings as pain or fear anymore.
But maybe that is it? Maybe in absolute fear and pure exhaustion I can achieve the life I want? What do you think?
+Marlon McKnight See the pain and fear for what they are. Weakness leaving your body and mind. Obstacles to the life you want falling behind you.
+Marlon McKnight The emotionally difficult thing isn't called difficult for no reason, you see? ;)
It's supposed to be challenging and painful every day. That's how you are gonna grow. The comfortable option won't lead you to success.
And it's normal, we all have to experience this in one way or another.
Don't give up! :D
I think we should use this method from time to time to not let ourselves get soft and settled in our comfort zones
Leo, this literally changed every aspect of my life. This is the exact thing I needed to hear to get out of my own way in the journey to success and how I want my life to plan out. And you were totally right, it so simple yet mind boggling. Great video! Great!
If it's one simple rule why's the video almost 40 minutes long?
+calmdown15 because you get more money with more viewing time i guess
+calmdown15 dude i was actually expecting it to be longer, details make a big difference

Yeah, but very rarely get to finish them cause his videos are so long.
Not trying to be rude, love your channel and all the wisdom you drop Leo!
you're a lazy person with no attention span.

More a person with an opinion that can question things if he feels that way...
A pal of mine was really hesitating between regular high school and a specialized one (you basically learn already how to perform a certain job) and then he said "screw it" and went for the latter to follow his tailoring passion. Never regretted it since.
I'm sorry guys but am I the only one who feels as if they're going through an emotional puberty? I'm 20 by the end of the year. But the only way I can describe this change is "puberty"
+Roman Gavanyuk GOOD for you man. Make sure that you're always to do two things take care of your mind and take care of your body. All the power to you. When you make something of it I'll tell everyone about this conversation and have bragging rights. hahaha good luck.
+BigMacDeliciousness He dropped out of school so he's not really taking care of his mind.

"Spend years of acquiring abstract knowledge" - that's a bullshit generalization. You're saying you didn't even finish the cake walk that is high school?
+BigMacDeliciousness Your 20s are kind of is emotional puberty imo
A lot of people talk about a quarter life crisis or just struggle in their 20s. You're not alone
+shitmandood Right everyone must follow the same path. You don't know what's best for some strange on the Internet's mind, get off your high horse.
After watching I realised what I have been doing over many years. Its time for me to grab life by the balls and move forward. Thanks Leo
The emotionally hard thing to do is: not use curse words in your videos. ; )
