i like what you said about having a plant. reminds me of an ancient quote: _to be happy for an hour, take a nap; to happy for a year, get married; to happy for a lifetime, have a garden._
I tried joining the military, cardio got addicting. I used to hate pushups when I was a little kid, now I love them. Bored? Drop and do 20, Feeling weak and useless? well drop and push the depression away a good 20 times.. etc..
My car got broken into today... Shattered window, and sound system stolen. I felt proud of myself for the way I handled myself, specifically my attitude. It could have been a lot worse... In the end, it's fixable, I still have a working car, and I'm still alive. Attitude is key.
Hey Alpha I know this video is old but I just wanted to say thank you for the motivation, I'm currently in a moment of my life where I'm starting to improve and be my best self. This video and everything else you teach means alot to me.
Your last point about fitness really struck a chord. I have not worked out for 1 year and kept postponing purchasing a gym membership. Now when i look back, i wish I had not procrastinated so much. I finally started working out though. Thanks a lot Alpha!
My dad always loved nature & taking care of the garden he owns. People which are connected to nature & take care of it, are definitely different than others, in a very positive way.
Damn, this guy is very good looking. Also, he gives good advice. Usually, you would have professional speakers that have you pay to hear the same advice alpha m gives.
Just watching this helps boosts self esteem. It motivates me to be a better person, so on the off chance that nobody is telling you that you make a difference in people's lives, here it is my friend. You make a difference
Seriously, this is one of your best videos. Towards the end of the video i felt as if you were really talking to me. I felt as if what your doing is truly for all of our aspirations. What your doing is great and i don't doubt your sincerity at all any longer. Great video
All good advice. I've suffered from self esteem issues quite a bit myself, but in the last year I've really made an effort to change myself for the better. I think that is a really key step - you must realize that it is going to to take a conscious effort as well as a physical one to change and at times it will be difficult. Another one for me is I had to quit drinking so often and smoking pot every day. You can't think as clearly or be as motivated to achieve goals when you're fucked up all the time. Something that really helped me to get on track is to start writing down goals. Everything from to-do lists like "get groceries" to fitness goals like "run five miles" and general personality goals like, "Be a hard worker at work, don't slack off." Nothing makes you feel better than being able to look at the things you actually achieved or motivates you than to have to stare at a list of shit you need to do. I also really recommend keeping a journal so you can review your wishes/wants/desires and figure out what it is you want to do or more importantly who you want to be. You need to start from where you are and make incremental changes. Figure out what shit you're doing that doesn't work for you and what you need to do to change it. Look at what you like about yourself and how to improve it. When I first started this process I was overwhelmed with negativity, but I started to slowly chip away at goals and see change in myself and have slowly become more confident and hopeful. I think I can identify with Ben's outlook. I used to always identify with the opening line from the Radiohead's "Talk Show Host" - "I want to be someone else or I'll explode." and now I've realized my own value change I've changed my mantra to, "I want to be a better me." Anyway, I hope this helps someone.
Joseph Ang If our parents don't praise us enough we seek it out from others in destructive ways, and people use praise and condemnation to lord over others and install themselves as each others masters, I think people possess genes that seek confirmation of worth, or they seek out destruction/get depressed and live in a holding pattern until they acquire the praise the gene needs. That gene may help weed out murderers and hedonism and help shape a conforming society of beings that can survive together, but judgement is a different animal. People misuse it as praise or to condemn others and its not for that; judgement is illogical without attaching purpose or worth for a purpose. You can judge an apples worthiness of being eaten, how good someone is in bed, but when you judge someone or something without attaching a purpose, you cross judgement with praise/condemnation, and your life goes to hell. Its the root of all human suffering.
I want to say thank you for making this vid, I am three yrs late on saying thx. I watched this vid after my second yr of my degree and I was dealing with alot of personal issues and trying to find out more about myself and this vid helped alot (Especially the plant!). Thanks very very much!!!
Sometimes we know the right answers but need to hear them from someone else. I started my change last week before seeing this now . Thanks for reassuring I was on the right path
the health part really speaks to me, im always putting off stopping smoking and changing my diet and it,s so true that if i started when i first had the idea too i would be a long way down the road already! starting a new from now thanks m8
Aaron, you're right man, it is an ongoing work in progress. 2 yrs ago I started watching your vids and I worked on my attitude and style, and man guess what? I ended up falling in love and getting married. It's like magic. Now I find myself letting myself go, this vid is a great reminder at what amazing shit I can accomplish by taking care of myself. Thank you! Keep it up!!!
Have seen loads and loads of Alpha's videos and I think I like this one the best of all. Fully dressed and talking the best. I could go without the fully dressed part but still would enjoy the talking the best. Thanks.
Amazing stuff... Do u prepare a speech or something or is it all flowing automatically.. Whatever, but you just gave a boon of live, hope, spirit and energy to dejected souls. Kudos
I've watched your Social playlist. I loved all your videos. Mind you I am a woman. Granted some topics didn't directly apply to me but they really helped me out. Thanks for all your words of wisdom!
I am so thankful for your videos. I love how you go beyond just style, and grooming and your sense of humor just makes it that much more easy to start this work in progress i call me.
The universe sent me this video, I am not Ben but I am in the exact same situation. I want to change everything about my self. I’m a former otaku and geek, being shy, low self esteem, being babied by parents, I feel like a rabbit in a hole
I had an amazing Friday, I was surprised at how things were working out. I talked pretty confident and nice to a girl I have never talked to and talked to a friend with confidence, security, manlyness and made a pretty nice handshake. With the rest of the people I had good posture, didn't say bad words, spoke clearly and said a lot of please and thank you. The thin was I was conscious of what I was doing and how I was behaving so I let simple but nice stuff came out of me. Also I managed to listen more than talk with a friend on Thursday... that has never happened xD
+DKMRFCBrlz Thats awesome dude! Keep it up, I'm also starting to realize there are some joys in listening to other peoples thoughts. Anywho, glad to hear about your newfound confidence! Have a good rest to your weekend!
This video is really funny! And I noticed aaron now dons a shorter hairstyle which in my opinion suits him much better! Good on you aaron and thanks for all the advice!
First thing I did was controlled my diet, ate healthier and kicked sugar to the curb. Then after a couple months of that and watching working videos I went you the gym hard and heavy. Lost almost 60 pounds and I overcame depression. It helped with my attitude too.
Wow it makes me so happy he didn’t sell out this episode. This video really means a lot to a lot of people. When he started talking about washing your face and stuff I thought he was going to plug dollar shave club lol
Alpha, I have been trying to find a great sweater with the design you have, where did you get it? Not having it is holding back my style! Thanks for all these great videos. =]
Hey alpha m, I want to say I have watched some of your videos, but this one caught my atention. You give good advices to men that are helpful, but unfortunatly not all wil follow. Once again great video and keep giving good tips to people :)
Love love LOVE your vids, man! Keep up the great work! One question though--Is there a female counterpart you could recommend who basically does what you do on your vids?
On point with each video. One other way for a man to better himself is to become a Master Mason. This is the best thing my friends and I could ever do to place us immediately among the most power people (alphas)
This is a very video. Thank Aaron, this is very helpful and I'm going to be taking your advise, and I shall be doing me best to be the better man. Thank you. ps Good use of movie quotes
Thank you. I lost my daughter a few weeks ago and I haven't been the best. Low self esteem. Jealous when my girl is talking to a guy friend. You have me good points
i like what you said about having a plant. reminds me of an ancient quote:
_to be happy for an hour, take a nap; to happy for a year, get married; to happy for a lifetime, have a garden._
Wouldnt the marriage happiness last more than a year or was this quote taken from hollywood?
anthony hamilton just ask guys who have been married longer than that. 4 out of 5 will tell you to stay single.
Jeff Well then I must keep meeting the 5th guys with amazing families.
suh dude you definitely are because i have never met that guy 😂
The garden part means have many plants in your life, the nap and marriage are plants in the garden
I started at the gym. picking up a dumbbell was the best decision I ever made.
Ty Smith i picked up a dumbell once. it was my younger brother. i proceeded to throw him into the jacuzzi.
Ty Smith I agree sooo much
I picked up a dumbbell, Uhh what changes now
I tried joining the military, cardio got addicting. I used to hate pushups when I was a little kid, now I love them. Bored? Drop and do 20, Feeling weak and useless? well drop and push the depression away a good 20 times.. etc..
My car got broken into today... Shattered window, and sound system stolen. I felt proud of myself for the way I handled myself, specifically my attitude. It could have been a lot worse... In the end, it's fixable, I still have a working car, and I'm still alive. Attitude is key.
happend to me today..im trying not to freak out..
Bett well I’m on the way for the rest now so keep the attitude great I’m helping you become a better person 🤣

your the best person there is..
thank you I hope u read this
Just watching this helps boosts self esteem. It motivates me to be a better person, so on the off chance that nobody is telling you that you make a difference in people's lives, here it is my friend. You make a difference
The most simple, yet motivational talks I have ever heard.
It is difficult to be genuinely interested in other people when you genuinely could n't care less about them!
Then your social circle is not the right one.
Dude .. this is honestly the best video/advice/inspiration I had in 2016 .. much appreciated.
What I like about myself is I hate talking or specifically hate shallow conversation with people so that one thing is what I will not change. :)
Seriously, this is one of your best videos. Towards the end of the video i felt as if you were really talking to me. I felt as if what your doing is truly for all of our aspirations. What your doing is great and i don't doubt your sincerity at all any longer. Great video

Don't think how good you are just think that you are. Judging yourself and others is the root of all evil.
My depression almost disappeared when I stoped caring about what people think about me.

One question though--Is there a female counterpart you could recommend who basically does what you do on your vids?
It's pretty obvious from the way you look that you do take good care of yourself. We should all strive to do the same for ourselves too!
Your words hit deep friend
Bravo, Mr. Marino. Keep it going.
