00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,000
I'm at a crossroads right now.
2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:09,880
So right now I just got home from Funnel Hacking Live.
3
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:12,520
And let me tell you all about it.
4
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:15,860
It was great and I was actually recording while I was there.
5
00:00:15,860 --> 00:00:21,520
So the past few episodes, I think the past four episodes, I recorded at Funnel Hacking
6
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:22,720
Live.
7
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:30,240
So in Florida, I was at a trip and it was just a trip with me and my friend Franklin.
8
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:34,760
And we went to Funnel Hacking Live, got a lot of information.
9
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:41,200
And we brought home this one book called 10X is Easier Than 2X.
10
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:46,840
And inside this book, it's basically exactly what the name says.
11
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:48,360
10X is Easier Than 2X.
12
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:56,280
So the 10X mindset is essentially, let me explain this first.
13
00:00:56,280 --> 00:01:02,600
Throughout your life on normal living, you're 80% of the things that you're doing right
14
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:07,960
now, if you're just an average person, normal person, 80% of the things that you're doing
15
00:01:07,960 --> 00:01:09,600
are comfortable.
16
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:15,040
They're old, they're like habits, they're comfortable for you to do.
17
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:18,200
And then the 20% are things that are moving you forward.
18
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,560
Things that are moving you towards your goals.
19
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:25,720
And this 10X, so that's the 2X mindset.
20
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:29,800
That's basically you marginally improving and that's what smart goals are.
21
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:39,120
It's basically 2X is improving a little bit at every moment, improving a tiny amount and
22
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,840
then going for small goals.
23
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:50,400
And the issue with that is you can achieve a small goal through many different means.
24
00:01:50,400 --> 00:02:00,840
There are thousands of ways to earn $100,000, but there's a very few amount of ways to earn
25
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:02,480
a million dollars.
26
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,960
That's pretty much like the premise.
27
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:11,360
So he imagined like three lines on top of each other.
28
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:16,960
Three horizontal lines that are stacked on top of each other with spaces in between them.
29
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,240
So this is the story that he gave.
30
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:26,000
Dr. Benjamin Hardy, he actually spoke at the event.
31
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:31,640
And the story he gave was his son is a tennis player and he's really good and his coach
32
00:02:31,640 --> 00:02:34,360
asked him, why not go pro?
33
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:38,120
And so his son was like, I don't know, I want to go to college.
34
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:42,320
Well, no, his coach asked, what are your goals?
35
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,560
And then his son said, I want to go to college.
36
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,280
And then the coach was like, why not go pro?
37
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,120
And then the son was like, I'm not sure.
38
00:02:49,120 --> 00:03:01,560
So then in the car after that talk with the coach, Dr. Hardy's son and himself were talking
39
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:09,400
and Dr. Hardy was asked, so do you think you're on the right path?
40
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:10,800
Are you going to be able to go to college?
41
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:14,080
And his son was like, yeah, maybe.
42
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:15,800
And then he was like, do you want to go to pro?
43
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:17,240
Do you want to go pro?
44
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,240
And he was like, yeah.
45
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,560
And then he was like, well, do you think you're on the right path for pro?
46
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:23,960
Do you think you're doing enough?
47
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,320
And then his son was like, no.
48
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:31,120
And it's because there are thousands of ways, thousands of pathways to get to the college
49
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:32,120
level.
50
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:38,040
So imagine the three lines again, the horizontal lines all stacked on top of each other with
51
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,280
spaces in between.
52
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:45,080
On the bottom level, it's labeled, the bottom line is labeled where you're at right now,
53
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:46,760
like current life.
54
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:50,080
And then the middle line is labeled college.
55
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:54,080
And then the top line is labeled professional.
56
00:03:54,080 --> 00:04:01,680
So basically there are hundreds of thousands of arrows pointing up towards that college level.
57
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,160
Like there are many different pathways to get to college.
58
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:09,320
If college is your goal, you can pretty much not have to worry about making drastic changes
59
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,680
and you don't really have to.
60
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:15,720
You can basically do the majority of things you're already doing.
61
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,120
Maybe you'll have to make a few small tweaks here and there.
62
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:23,600
But for the college route, you can pretty much do what you're already doing.
63
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:28,560
And the thing is with the college, there are so many different paths to get there.
64
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:34,040
So you have this thing called analysis, paralysis by analysis.
65
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:38,760
So it's like, you don't really know, you have too many options.
66
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:42,680
So you're paralyzed by all the options.
67
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:50,400
But then only like who one or two arrows actually reach all the way to the pro level.
68
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:56,480
So there's thousands of arrows that only stop at the middle line, the college level.
69
00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:00,840
But like maybe one or two arrows go all the way up to the professional level.
70
00:05:00,840 --> 00:05:03,520
So those arrows represent pathways.
71
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:09,560
So that basically means that you can basically do anything you want to get to the college
72
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:10,640
level.
73
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:14,760
But there are only a few ways to get to the pro level.
74
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:20,120
You pretty much only have a few options or one option.
75
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:27,240
So that brings me to where I started this episode, where I'm at a crossroads right now.
76
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:35,560
So originally my goal was, and I'm over the past couple of weeks, I was saying that I
77
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:41,260
wasn't going to tell you guys my goals, but I think it's different.
78
00:05:41,260 --> 00:05:47,880
So I, after liking live, I learned one, don't tell your big goals to small minds.
79
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:54,040
So yes, don't tell your goals, your big aspirations to people with small minds.
80
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,080
So like normal people, average people.
81
00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:05,880
And then another thing is do not brag about your goal, just declare it.
82
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,760
And I think that it's okay to declare your goal.
83
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,880
So I'm going to be declaring my goal now.
84
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:19,400
And my goal was to just go move to Hawaii, just move to Hawaii and become a surfer.
85
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:23,120
Now originally that seemed kind of impossible for me.
86
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:24,680
Now I hadn't achieved it.
87
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:31,680
I haven't achieved it yet, but I don't think that that, now I'm thinking that it's like
88
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:32,680
too easy.
89
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:36,340
I think that it's actually possible.
90
00:06:36,340 --> 00:06:43,880
So when I, Dr. Hardy actually wrote down, he actually, at the end of his speech of explaining
91
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:51,760
all about the 10X process, he actually talked about, he actually had us write down in our
92
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,760
notebook our goal.
93
00:06:54,760 --> 00:07:04,120
And so naturally I wrote down, my goal is to be, to move to Hawaii and surf every day.
94
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:08,600
So then, and then right when I finished writing that down, he said, again, a reminder, your
95
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:15,960
goal should be so big that you would think it's impossible to achieve.
96
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:19,800
And so I immediately crossed it out because I knew that it was not impossible.
97
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:23,160
I knew it was possible.
98
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:30,000
And then I was like trying to think of a different goal to write, but I realized that it wasn't
99
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:31,000
going to come right away.
100
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:36,160
So I kind of just let it be for then, and then stayed in the moment and listened to the next
101
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:37,160
speaker.
102
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:44,200
And then eventually, actually this morning is when my next goal, or actually my next,
103
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:52,600
my big goal actually came into fruition over a few days because my original, I wanted to
104
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:57,040
get the two comic club, which is make $1 million.
105
00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:02,720
That was my original, that was one of my original like goals before Funalaki Life.
106
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:08,760
But now I want two comic club X, which is make $10 million.
107
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,680
And I want to do it in one year.
108
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,440
And this is an impossible goal for me.
109
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,800
Like I have $0 in my bank account.
110
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:24,160
I have a little bit more than that, but I have not made a single penny off of my business.
111
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:28,600
And so that's because I didn't really have a clear goal.
112
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,480
So now I have a clear goal.
113
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:37,320
And that's like one of the first steps to the 10X process to find your clear goal.
114
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:47,080
And so what my clear goal is, is to move to Hawaii and become a surfer, but also live
115
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:53,040
in such a way where I have the exact lifestyle that I want and I can, I'm never burdened
116
00:08:53,040 --> 00:09:02,240
by money and I'm in the 10X, 10X or two comma club X, two CCX.
117
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:10,560
And that means that I have $10 million earned and I have the house that I want, which I
118
00:09:10,560 --> 00:09:12,040
don't really know what house I want.
119
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:18,360
I just kind of want to get a nice house, which I guess I should fix that.
120
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:23,120
So that was my goal that came about probably yesterday or the day before.
121
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,480
That was my new goal.
122
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:29,640
So it's basically the same goal that I had before, except a little bit more lavish and
123
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:34,400
a lot more like, what's the word?
124
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:39,480
A lot more, just a lot more extravagant.
125
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:46,260
And so this morning actually, while I was in my, I was doing my balancing.
126
00:09:46,260 --> 00:09:50,800
So every morning I balance on a medicine ball for like 10 minutes.
127
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:55,520
And this is to help me improve my balance so I can be a better surfer when I actually
128
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:59,240
get to that stage in my life.
129
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:03,000
And I'm like, I'm balancing on my ball this morning.
130
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,640
And then this image pops up into my head.
131
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:16,960
And it's, because usually when I'm balancing, I am, I'm visualizing me surfing.
132
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:21,480
I'm kind of like imagining that I'm surfing a lot of times when I'm balancing.
133
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,760
So that's like a cool visualization exercise that I do.
134
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:29,680
It's another thing that's a guaranteed visualization because you need to be visualizing every single
135
00:10:29,680 --> 00:10:31,560
day.
136
00:10:31,560 --> 00:10:35,800
And I don't really visualize often throughout the day.
137
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:41,340
So and there's one thing that one rule that I know is true.
138
00:10:41,340 --> 00:10:47,540
And it's anything that is in your morning routine is a guaranteed thing to happen every
139
00:10:47,540 --> 00:10:51,320
single day, which is why I have a four hour long morning routine.
140
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:55,880
Like all of these things are guaranteed to happen every single morning.
141
00:10:55,880 --> 00:11:00,280
So that's why I extended my morning routine so long so I can put in more and more things
142
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,760
to have in my morning routine.
143
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:07,400
So that's why I put in visualization in my morning routine through my meditation as well
144
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:13,400
as my surf, not surfing, as well as my medicine ball balancing.
145
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:17,240
But while I'm balancing on my medicine ball, I'm visualizing my surfboard and then this
146
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,280
image just pops up.
147
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:26,480
And it's, it's basically the same image that I see in my surfing visualization.
148
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:31,200
And mind you, I don't really, I can't really see when I'm visualizing like I'm kind of
149
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,360
a little bit blind in the mind's eye.
150
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:38,040
So I can like feel the energies of it's, it's weird.
151
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:39,800
I don't really know how to explain it other than that.
152
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:43,000
That's like best explanation I have for my visualization.
153
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:50,820
So I'm like on this surfboard and then this image pops up and it's just the same image
154
00:11:50,820 --> 00:11:55,120
except my surfboard got a new color to it.
155
00:11:55,120 --> 00:12:00,840
It's got a new like decal, basically like a new paint, paint job.
156
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:06,200
And so before my surfboard was just plain, I don't really know what color it was.
157
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,480
I just, well, I didn't really imagine a color.
158
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:10,640
I just imagined the board.
159
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:19,360
But now my surfboard is all black and in the middle, it has in golden colored letters,
160
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:23,000
2 comma club X.
161
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:30,680
And that's pretty much just an all black surfboard with 2 comma club X written on it.
162
00:12:30,680 --> 00:12:35,600
And so that is exactly what I'm visualizing now.
163
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:40,160
Like that's my new goal, surfing with the 2 comma club X, but that's not, that's not
164
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,960
all, that's not all.
165
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:47,760
But another thing that popped up in my head at the exact same time is one that surfboard,
166
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,320
but two, my swimsuit.
167
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:58,960
My swimsuit was like black, all black with on the left side, on the left leg of the swimsuit.
168
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:02,520
It said 2 CCX in gold fine.
169
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:08,880
It's very minimalist, but that's pretty much like my new, my new slide.
170
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:15,440
It's basically me imagining myself with the 2 comma club surfboard and 2 comma, or 2 comma
171
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:19,280
club X surfboard and 2 comma club X shorts.
172
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:26,880
So I could get those before I got $10 million, but that I would never do that.
173
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:27,880
That's dishonorable.
174
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:34,760
In order for me to get those, I have to get the 2 comma club X.
175
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:39,000
I have to make enough, I have to make 10 mil.
176
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,480
So that's basically my new, my new goal.
177
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:49,040
And I'm reading 10 X's easier than 2 X's as I just said, but I'm on probably page 80
178
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:52,960
right now, maybe like 75.
179
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:57,800
And there's one thing that I realized.
180
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:03,160
So this is getting back to the first thing that I said of how I'm at a crossroads right
181
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:04,320
now.
182
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:05,680
I'm getting to it.
183
00:14:05,680 --> 00:14:11,400
This whole episode so far has just been context, but I'll get to where I'm at the crossroads.
184
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:12,400
I'll explain that.
185
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:15,120
But at first I have to explain this one thing.
186
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:18,360
I was absent all week last week from school.
187
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,240
And by the way, I'm a senior in high school.
188
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:27,480
And so I was absent all week last week from school to go to Florida, to go to the business
189
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,320
conference for an acumen.
190
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:34,840
And when I come back, I'm reading this 10 X's easier than 2 X's.
191
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:43,800
I'm realizing that you have to ditch like 80% of your old habits, old lifestyle, old people,
192
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:49,920
old like actions, old schedule, everything that you're doing that's comfortable, that's
193
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:50,920
holding you back.
194
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:52,480
You have to ditch it.
195
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:59,320
And then you have to, in order to achieve the 10 X process, which is like true evolution
196
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:07,280
and true growth, you have to strive for that 20 or that 20%, which is all of the new things
197
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:08,520
that you're doing.
198
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:15,560
So for me, the 20%, I believe is podcasting every day, as well as just recently I started
199
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:23,120
TikTok, posting three TikToks every day.
200
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:26,400
So I haven't actually posted any yet as of recording.
201
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:31,760
I just scheduled them because they're kind of linked to every episode that I record.
202
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:38,560
So I basically have three daily lessons that I record.
203
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:43,880
So in my description of the podcast, this has evolved over time, but recently I'd been
204
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:51,320
doing three kind of descriptions or three, what's the words?
205
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:52,320
Three lessons.
206
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:53,760
So I basically have three daily lessons.
207
00:15:53,760 --> 00:16:00,400
And so I take each of those and make a video, like a short form video, like 20 to a minute
208
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,000
long, 20 seconds to a minute long.
209
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,440
And so I basically take those and then record that.
210
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:11,760
And I post three TikToks every day, which they're not scheduled until two days from
211
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:12,760
now.
212
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:18,880
And now I'm recording this on the second and it's going to go live on the fourth.
213
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:20,080
And that's another thing.
214
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:25,720
Over break or not break, over the past week, I missed two days of episodes.
215
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:27,640
Just, it was out of my control.
216
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:33,000
I like travel days and I was using my friend's computer.
217
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:37,040
So there is two days that I missed.
218
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:38,840
So I'm back at five episodes.
219
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:41,680
Like this is going to be my fifth episode that's scheduled.
220
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:46,600
So I'm going to have to double up episodes again soon to catch up to seven.
221
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,760
But to where I'm at the crossroads.
222
00:16:49,760 --> 00:17:01,280
So with that 80, 20, 80%, 20% explained, another thing is he was saying that you have
223
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:05,000
to dramatically like change everything.
224
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:09,280
And there was, I was thinking about this one thing and it's this one thing that's been
225
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:17,840
kind of on the back of my mind for the past couple months, honestly, since like summer
226
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:18,840
break.
227
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:25,160
And so it's been on my mind for the past like four months, maybe, maybe three, three to
228
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:28,120
four months, and it's to drop out of high school.
229
00:17:28,120 --> 00:17:33,840
And I'm saying this quietly because I don't want my parents to hear because I'm in this
230
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:41,120
kind of state where I over the past three months, I've been like kind of wanting to drop out
231
00:17:41,120 --> 00:17:42,120
of high school.
232
00:17:42,120 --> 00:17:46,760
And I feel like my parents kind of know because I have mentioned it before.
233
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:49,200
I have said I should just drop out.
234
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:51,760
I have said things like that.
235
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:55,360
But I'm not sure if they're, if they know I'm actually serious about it.
236
00:17:55,360 --> 00:17:58,520
But I'm thinking about this thing.
237
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:02,560
This action is on the back of my mind.
238
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:06,920
And while I'm reading this book and every single thing that he's saying that relates
239
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:12,680
to 10x corresponds with me dropping out of high school.
240
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:20,560
So literally, literally nothing that I'm doing in school is 10x.
241
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:23,320
Like it's all 2x and it's all holding me back.
242
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:26,080
It's that 80% that's holding me back.
243
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:33,520
And what I realized is that this morning I had this.
244
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:38,920
So I hope you guys are familiar by now with the terms of Transurfing called the heart
245
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:40,840
and the mind.
246
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:47,400
But if you're not familiar, the heart or the mind is basically what is talking to itself
247
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:49,120
all day long.
248
00:18:49,120 --> 00:18:58,520
And the mind is, it's basically logical, it uses reasoning and it like talks, it like
249
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:01,760
perceives information from the outside world.
250
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:09,320
And then the heart is, it knows things, it feels things and it's emotional and it's creative.
251
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:10,920
And the heart actually knows everything.
252
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:18,800
So basically in most people the heart is kind of drowned out, like the whisperings of the
253
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:27,000
heart or the input of the heart that it's trying to help the you is drowned out.
254
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:32,720
All that noise made by the heart is drowned out by the constant chatter, the inner monologue
255
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:34,560
of the mind.
256
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:38,080
So we don't really hear our heart that often, we have to look for it.
257
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:45,760
And so I have been way more conscientious about looking for this noise, like looking
258
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:51,040
for this Russell the Morning Stars, this is what it's called by Vadim Zan.
259
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:55,960
And I've been a lot more conscious about listening to this noise.
260
00:19:55,960 --> 00:20:00,120
And this morning, let me explain this first.
261
00:20:00,120 --> 00:20:01,200
There's inner tension.
262
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:05,640
So whenever you're making decisions, your mind either does, or your heart either has
263
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:09,920
one of three things, inner tension, which means that it's a bad decision.
264
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:11,520
Like you don't want to do it.
265
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,280
Like the heart does not want to do it.
266
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:18,760
And then there's another thing is it just doesn't have any reaction.
267
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:22,680
There's no tension or peace.
268
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,480
And that's just, it just means that it's okay.
269
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:26,480
It's fine.
270
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:29,680
Like it's neither good nor bad, it's just it's.
271
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:33,800
So that action is, in general, it's okay.
272
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:39,080
And then there's a third one, which is inner peace, like inner joy, inner bliss.
273
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:42,800
And that whenever you experience that, you know that you're on the right path, right
274
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:44,640
track.
275
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:49,560
And so this morning, I'm getting ready to go to school.
276
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:53,400
It's been over a week since I've been at school.
277
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,280
And I'm getting ready.
278
00:20:56,280 --> 00:21:02,200
And the whole time I'm having this inner tension, especially while I'm biking to school, I have
279
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:03,200
this inner tension.
280
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:07,400
It just feels like my heart is screaming no.
281
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:13,320
Because at Funnel Hat King Live, we saw like eight speakers.
282
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:16,280
So there was probably like 30 speakers on there.
283
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:22,320
And we saw probably like, maybe eight is an exaggeration, but at least four speakers that
284
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:24,680
were high school dropouts.
285
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,640
And the majority of the speakers didn't go to college, I think.
286
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:29,280
Actually, I'm not sure.
287
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:36,320
But literally four of the speakers were high school dropouts, and they said it too.
288
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:38,360
And so that's another thing.
289
00:21:38,360 --> 00:21:43,120
And the other thing is that when I was watching the award ceremony, like right now I'm just
290
00:21:43,120 --> 00:21:49,880
listening to all the, like a lot more examples that is basically getting me to go deeper
291
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:54,880
on this kind of decision or desire to drop out.
292
00:21:54,880 --> 00:22:00,600
And so we're watching this award ceremony where people are walking across the stage
293
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:06,200
receiving an award, the Two Comma Club Award, which you can, there's people that earn the
294
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:11,400
Two Comma Club Award, which is one mil, Two Comma Club X Award, which is 10 mil, and then
295
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:16,960
Two Comma Club C Award, which is anywhere between 25 to 100 mil.
296
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:23,280
And I'm watching these guys, and there's like probably like 36 year olds walk across that
297
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:26,160
stage that got one million dollars.
298
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:27,160
Six year olds.
299
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:31,280
Like they may be smarter than me, but they're six years old.
300
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:34,480
Like I can definitely do better than them.
301
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:40,560
And like I can definitely, if a six year old can do it, I can do it, you know?
302
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:44,680
And so that's another thing is like they're not even in high school and they're already
303
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:45,680
a millionaire.
304
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:50,760
So that's another thing that kind of confirmed my suspicions of dropping out.
305
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:57,280
And so I'm like extremely kind of inner tense, inner tension.
306
00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:02,960
And I'm at school and even like the last night I was talking to my mom and I was like, this
307
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:10,120
is unacceptable that it's unacceptable that, or no, I was saying like I spent like five
308
00:23:10,120 --> 00:23:15,080
hours at school and she was like, no, it's like four hours.
309
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,320
And then we did the math and it was four hours.
310
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:23,160
But then I was like, okay, but I think about school a lot outside of school.
311
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:27,920
So I'm thinking about it and I'm focusing a lot of energy and attention on it outside
312
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:28,920
of school.
313
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:30,200
And plus I have homework.
314
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:37,640
So it's like, no, it's like I'm spending way more than five hours at school basically.
315
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:42,920
And I was thinking like this is unacceptable that I'm thinking about school at all.
316
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:44,240
Like I shouldn't be thinking about school.
317
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:45,560
It's such a waste.
318
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:47,120
It's a waste.
319
00:23:47,120 --> 00:23:54,680
And so then I go to school this morning with all this inner tension.
320
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:57,120
And you know what the craziest thing is?
321
00:23:57,120 --> 00:24:07,360
I was gone for an entire week and I was expecting a lot of work because my mom was kind of like,
322
00:24:07,360 --> 00:24:08,880
you got to check in with your teacher.
323
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:14,880
She was like getting on my case about getting all my work done for all my missing work done.
324
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:22,160
Because naturally I was expecting a lot of work and literally probably an hour of work
325
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:23,640
is what I missed.
326
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:27,760
An hour for an entire week of school.
327
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,520
So let's say I go to school for four hours a day.
328
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:36,520
I missed 20 hours of school and you know how much work I missed?
329
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:37,520
One hour.
330
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:40,480
Like that alone is ridiculous.
331
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:45,280
I'm just sitting in school wasting my day when there's only like one hour of actual
332
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:46,280
work.
333
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:48,760
And by the way, the work is like ridiculous.
334
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:50,800
It's stupid stuff.
335
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:55,720
And so I'm okay.
336
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:59,680
So then I go to school.
337
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:03,480
I'm at school sitting there wasting my day again.
338
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:09,120
And I come home and like usual my parents are like, hey, how's your day?
339
00:25:09,120 --> 00:25:10,560
And I was like, good.
340
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:11,560
That's normal.
341
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:14,000
I always respond that way.
342
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:18,920
And this whole time when my parents were talking to me, I'm just thinking like, I want to drop
343
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:19,920
out.
344
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:20,920
I want to drop out.
345
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:21,920
I want to drop out.
346
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:29,800
And I like had this extreme desire to say out loud, I want to drop out.
347
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,520
To declare that I wanted to drop out.
348
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:38,000
But I held my tongue because first of all, that was not a good environment to say it
349
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,480
because my mom was about to get on a call.
350
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:43,880
And so I didn't want to just drop that bomb.
351
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:47,720
And so I kind of just held it there.
352
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:49,880
But this is something that's been on my mind.
353
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,640
And so after that, I was making food.
354
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:57,760
And then it was like, after a minute, after a minute, after a minute, this thought was
355
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:00,880
getting stronger and stronger and stronger in my mind.
356
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:01,880
Like, I want to drop out.
357
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:02,880
I want to drop out.
358
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:03,880
I want to drop out.
359
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:08,160
I want to keep on getting this desire to and urge to drop out.
360
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:13,800
And so I go in my room because I can't deal with all this.
361
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:15,000
I want to clear my mind.
362
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:20,640
So I go in my room, take out my journal, and I write like, I don't remember exactly where
363
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:26,360
I wrote, but I was thinking like, is this is dropping out of school 10x?
364
00:26:26,360 --> 00:26:33,320
Is dropping out of school my next 10x or 10 phase in my 10x growth?
365
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:37,240
Or is dropping out of school going to allow me to 10x my life?
366
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:42,600
Is dropping out of school, but like, do I really want to drop out of school?
367
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:44,400
Is dropping out of school on my path?
368
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:50,560
And so I wrote down a bunch of different questions relating to that, just to like clear my mind,
369
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:54,680
just to release those questions from my mind and write them on paper.
370
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:58,760
And then I just got to the point where this idea popped in my head after I was writing
371
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:04,480
these, probably filled up half of a page of these questions, and this idea popped in my
372
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:09,200
mind that was to write a T chart, pros and cons.
373
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:17,400
And so I created a T chart and I labeled the left side pros, the right side cons.
374
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:21,640
And then I labeled it dropping out of school.
375
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:28,400
And so I went through the pro side and it was, I'll ease up a lot of time, ease up a
376
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:32,000
lot of mind power, brain power.
377
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:39,280
I'll kind of, I don't remember all the stuff I wrote, but I probably wrote like five items
378
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:41,440
on the left side.
379
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:48,720
And then on the right side, I didn't really know what to write.
380
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:57,920
And then I wrote down possible or unforeseen risks or unforeseen consequences.
381
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:01,320
But I wrote that with question mark because they're unforeseen.
382
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:03,200
I'm not sure what they would be.
383
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:06,000
And I'm not even sure if there will be any consequences.
384
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:10,800
I'm sure my parents would give consequences, but there was a lot of things that I've done
385
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:16,600
in the past like year that are, they're only one thing that I can think of.
386
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:22,840
Like I literally bought a tickets to Funalaki live before even telling my parents and they
387
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:25,400
were not happy about that.
388
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:34,840
And then I, but literally after a couple hours of letting it sink into their mind, they were
389
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:36,320
like okay with it.
390
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:40,960
And they were actually like encouraging me to go forward with it.
391
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,360
So that like shifted.
392
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:48,160
And so I don't, I'm not sure if dropping out of school will be much different because
393
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:53,240
another thing is first of all, when I declared that I was not going to go to college for
394
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:56,960
the first time, they were like uneasy.
395
00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:02,080
Naturally they were uneasy, but they were like, okay, we'll support you.
396
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:08,240
And they've been like, I feel like in the beginning they were just extremely tense about that
397
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:14,760
decision and like they were on the surface supporting me and like on inside they didn't
398
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:17,440
want me to not go to college.
399
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:20,120
And so they were still kind of holding on to that thread.
400
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:23,800
And so they were saying, you still have to apply to colleges, you still have to apply
401
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:26,440
to school when the time comes.
402
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:28,280
And I was saying like, I'm not doing that.
403
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:29,920
And they were saying, yes, you are doing that.
404
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:34,280
So then to end the argument, I just, I just agreed that I'll do it.
405
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:43,920
And then another thing is that they didn't want me to drop all of my classes to get a
406
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:50,600
half day for this first semester and they also didn't necessarily want me to graduate
407
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:51,600
early.
408
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:57,120
So those are two more things that kind of, but eventually with time they shifted and
409
00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,800
they ease, they were okay with it.
410
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:05,040
And then like just more and more things like all of these things were originally my parents
411
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:07,040
were not like didn't want.
412
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:09,480
And then over time they became okay with it.
413
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:15,360
So I'm thinking like would dropping out of school be any different?
414
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:19,240
Because eventually they allowed me to not even apply to colleges.
415
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:20,760
They were like, okay, don't even worry about it.
416
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:22,680
You don't have to apply anymore.
417
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:24,800
So I'd never applied.
418
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:32,560
And so they're like, all of these things are, I'm like, they're changing their minds.
419
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:34,840
And now they're like encouraging me.
420
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:41,880
And I feel like, like, so I did just say that they were on the surface.
421
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:46,960
They were on the surface supporting me for college, but not inside.
422
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:48,960
But now over time they've shifted.
423
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:55,240
And I do believe that they are supporting me 100% on the surface and inside.
424
00:30:55,240 --> 00:31:02,680
And so I'm not sure like, obviously dropping out of high school is a lot bigger of a deal
425
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:04,200
than all of the other things.
426
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:06,360
It's like the biggest thing.
427
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:10,120
But all of these things were bigger than the last.
428
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:14,760
Like graduating early was bigger than not going to college.
429
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:20,920
Having a half day, having like four classes was bigger than like not going to college
430
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:22,400
and graduating early.
431
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:24,000
Like all these things were bigger than last.
432
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:32,120
So the next step is dropping out is bigger than graduating early.
433
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:37,920
And so I'm thinking like, let's go back to the T-Chart.
434
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:42,200
On the con side, I wrote unforeseen consequences.
435
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:44,200
So I'm not sure if I get kicked out.
436
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:48,840
I don't think I'd ever get kicked out of my house, but I'm not sure like the stress or
437
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:55,320
the struggles because another thing.
438
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:56,320
Okay.
439
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:58,920
So one thing that I wrote down.
440
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:02,680
So I wrote down two things on the con side of the T-Chart.
441
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:05,760
I wrote down unforeseen consequences with the question mark.
442
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:10,880
And then the second thing I wrote down was my status will lower.
443
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:16,480
I will lower my status amongst low status people, average people.
444
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:23,480
So my status will be dropped lower amongst average, everyday, ordinary people.
445
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:31,320
So amongst people who have like college degrees, amongst most people who are part of the system,
446
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:33,440
like people are like, oh, where'd you go to college?
447
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:37,800
And then if you say you didn't go to college, they're already like, okay, you suck.
448
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:40,480
Like they're already thinking badly of you.
449
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:43,440
And so if you're like, oh, I didn't go to college.
450
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:45,240
And then they're like, oh, where'd you go to high school?
451
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:47,360
And you're like, oh, I dropped out.
452
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:50,920
Like if you say I'm a high school dropout, that's already you're lowering your status
453
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:52,520
amongst those people.
454
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:55,560
But that's a con.
455
00:32:55,560 --> 00:33:02,800
But it doesn't really matter because another part of the 10X process is your life and the
456
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:06,120
people around you are going to be radically different.
457
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:13,560
So these ordinary people won't even, like their opinions won't even matter.
458
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:19,720
And it's like, once you get to, like once I achieve my goal of being a surfer with the
459
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:28,760
10X surfboard, 10, 2 comma club X surfboard, then I will like, it doesn't matter if I'm
460
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:30,080
a high school dropout.
461
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:32,400
Like there's no, like that does not matter.
462
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:36,520
And even now, if I dropped out of high school right now, I still don't think that it would
463
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:37,800
matter much.
464
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:38,800
And I'm not sure.
465
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:42,120
I don't think that it would be like on my conscience at all.
466
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:47,320
Like if anything, it would just completely liberate me from like, it would just give
467
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:49,640
me infinite freedom.
468
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:57,560
And so I'm thinking like these low, low status people won't even matter.
469
00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:04,840
And then it's also like, when those, when those speakers, when those like four speakers
470
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:09,480
were on stage and they were talking and they said they were high school dropouts, I was
471
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:12,040
like, I didn't think badly of them at all.
472
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:13,040
I looked up to them.
473
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:14,480
I was inspired by them.
474
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:19,240
And I've seen this time and time again throughout other people, like high school dropouts become
475
00:34:19,240 --> 00:34:20,240
millionaire.
476
00:34:20,240 --> 00:34:21,920
Like that's a flex.
477
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:30,200
Like there's literally one of the hooks, one of the ad advertisement hooks was drunk high
478
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:34,840
school dropout becomes a millionaire after reading this four-hour book.
479
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:39,560
And that was an advertisement for the book called dot com secrets.
480
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:44,240
And I believe it was Dan Henry.
481
00:34:44,240 --> 00:34:49,920
Or yeah, I think Dan Henry or Dan Kennedy, I don't even know.
482
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:58,640
I forgot his name, but that guy was, he was a high school dropout and he became a millionaire.
483
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:00,480
And so that was like a flex.
484
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:03,760
Like he, they position, they leverage that as a flex.
485
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:05,920
Like Iman Gazi is a high school dropout.
486
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:07,760
And that's a flex.
487
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:11,920
Like all of these things are like the high school dropout status is a flex if you're
488
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:13,760
a millionaire.
489
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:23,400
And so I truly cannot see any cons other than the backlash I'd receive in my family, but
490
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:26,320
I don't really care about that.
491
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:34,400
If going like I'm, if going, if dropping out of high school will get me on a fast lane
492
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:41,080
or fast track my life and allow me to achieve my goals quicker, better, more efficiently,
493
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:43,560
then I 100% want to take it.
494
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:48,200
And so I, I don't know what I want.
495
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:50,680
I don't know what to do to be honest.
496
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:55,160
On one hand, I literally only have two months left of school.
497
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:58,240
Like it's October 2nd right now.
498
00:35:58,240 --> 00:36:04,800
And I graduate on like the last day of school is like December like 16th or something around
499
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:10,960
that day in December, like halfway through December is the last day of school for me.
500
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:13,680
So I literally only have two months of school.
501
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:17,520
I've already done two months of school.
502
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:23,600
Like I'm halfway through my senior year basically a little bit under halfway through.
503
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:33,240
I'm about to hit like quarter two, but it's like all of this, like this is just what's
504
00:36:33,240 --> 00:36:38,080
on top of my mind on top of my mind.
505
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:43,280
I'm not sure, I'm not sure where to move forward if I'm going to be completely honest.
506
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:47,120
I don't know if I should just pull the trigger and drop out.
507
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:48,960
I don't know how that would look like.
508
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:54,480
And I think the reason why I'm scared to do it is because I don't know it's like fear
509
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:56,040
of the unknown.
510
00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:58,560
It's like so many unknowns on the other side.
511
00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:05,040
I don't know how my life will change because if I'm going to be completely honest, my life
512
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:14,200
will change, like will not change at all unless my parents react drastically.
513
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:19,560
Like that's the only way that my life will change, which I don't, I think they'll react
514
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:27,040
drastically at the start, but I don't think that I'd get kicked out.
515
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:32,760
And so I'm just thinking like this is what I really want to do, drop out of school.
516
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:40,440
And I don't know, I'm just in a very kind of tense state where I'm kind of at a crossroads
517
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:49,240
where I think that this will absolutely change my life, but I'm not sure exactly how, like
518
00:37:49,240 --> 00:37:57,480
I'm not sure what to do, which talking about this out loud, the obvious answer, like the
519
00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:01,080
answer seems obvious, just drop out.
520
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:06,440
But which leads me to another thing is should I declare I am dropping out of high school?
521
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:09,400
Or should I say, can I drop out of high school?
522
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:15,880
Which I feel like the first, like the, what is latter?
523
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:17,000
Ladder is the second one.
524
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:22,800
And then, oh yeah, the former, I feel like the former would be a better option for like
525
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:31,240
having sternness, but the last time I, like the, the, the I will drop out of high school
526
00:38:31,240 --> 00:38:34,880
will be a better option for actually getting the result.
527
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:44,080
But I feel like if I say the second one, then I'll get like, I'll get a no, but, but it
528
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:53,320
will, if I say the first one, I make it like bad rep or I don't even know.
529
00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:56,720
That's I'm going to stop, I'm going to stop talking about that.
530
00:38:56,720 --> 00:39:06,360
But if you guys have any input, definitely, if you guys have some input, which I, I actually
531
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:10,800
know don't even give me your input because this is, this has to be a decision made by
532
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:11,800
me.
533
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:19,840
I make all of my own decisions and I could actually, if you, if you think that there
534
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:25,200
are some things that I need to know that I'm unaware of, then definitely send that information
535
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:33,560
over at James at a son momentum.com through email because these, these decisions, like
536
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:35,160
decisions you have to make yourself.
537
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:37,240
Like that's why we have our own heart and mind.
538
00:39:37,240 --> 00:39:43,040
Like if you pass on decision making process, if you outsource it, then you outsource your
539
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:44,280
life essentially.
540
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:46,720
You're basically outsourcing your destiny.
541
00:39:46,720 --> 00:39:50,960
So I have to make this decision on my own because this is a monumental decision in my
542
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:56,680
life, but I would like to have information to help me make that decision better because
543
00:39:56,680 --> 00:40:03,880
if there's information I'm missing, then I definitely want to take that in con, in consideration
544
00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:09,520
because I learned in the way of the spirit man, like the man needs to make the decisions.
545
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:13,000
Do not let the, do not let the woman make the decisions.
546
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:15,200
Like the woman wants to be led.
547
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:18,800
The woman does not want to make the decisions.
548
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:22,560
She wants the man to make the decisions for her.
549
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:27,960
But with that said, you should take into consideration any input from the woman and then make your
550
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:31,520
own decision from there, considering that input.
551
00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:34,560
But don't make your decision based off that input.
552
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:37,520
Make it in consideration of that input.
553
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:41,360
Just consider the input and then make your own decision from there.
554
00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:48,440
So that's it for that, that talk, that talk, that literally took the entire 40, that took
555
00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:53,000
40 minutes to talk about that.
556
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:59,280
Like I started this episode by saying I'm at a crossroads and that's the crossroads.
557
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:00,920
Do I drop out or do I not?
558
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:01,920
Like that's the crossroads.
559
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:08,320
I don't know where to go, but I feel like that my vision will be clearer over time because
560
00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:13,960
there's another, I want to talk about the 10x book because naturally it's on the top
561
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:19,240
of my mind and whatever book that I'm reading at the time is going to directly influence
562
00:41:19,240 --> 00:41:27,800
the outcome of the podcast, which is evident because if you look through my channel history,
563
00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:35,640
like I have eight episodes of the Transurfing Principles, which that reminds me, I have
564
00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:43,200
another one that I need to record or another one or two because I have, I wrote, I'm pretty
565
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:48,440
sure before I left, I wrote out all of the Transurfing Principles or I wrote out most
566
00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:51,280
of them for my last review.
567
00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:54,080
So I might have episode nine of that.
568
00:41:54,080 --> 00:42:02,080
So that might come out soon, probably not to like Thursday my time.
569
00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:12,680
So probably not to like five, maybe like three or four days.
570
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:16,560
But this heavily influenced.
571
00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:20,520
So whatever I'm reading at the time, because I read Transurfing for like two months for
572
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:25,480
the, actually I read Transurfing for I think the entire time that I was podcasting until
573
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:27,480
just recently when I stopped.
574
00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:31,520
And so whatever book I'm reading at the time influences the podcast.
575
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:34,400
And right now I'm reading the 10x is easier than the 2x.
576
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:36,760
So that's what I'm reading.
577
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:45,080
And one thing that I was thinking about is one, one kind of easy way out, which I'm not
578
00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:49,360
sure if it's the easy way out or it's just the best way to do things is whenever you're
579
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:54,720
reading a book that will like radically change your like decision making worldview and just
580
00:42:54,720 --> 00:42:58,760
kind of morph your mind into a better.
581
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:05,000
You are kind of like on the edge of making certain decisions like I am right now.
582
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:08,040
And so let me give you an example.
583
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:14,480
When I was first reading Transurfing, I was kind of on the edge about like different things.
584
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:20,640
I can't think of anything right now, but my mind was kind of like weak, like these Transurfing
585
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:22,240
principles were weak in my mind.
586
00:43:22,240 --> 00:43:26,320
And as a result, they were weak in implementation.
587
00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:29,480
So I didn't really implement that strongly.
588
00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:32,520
And so I had two options.
589
00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:38,000
One was to use my willpower and try and implement it stronger, which would take a lot of effort
590
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:39,000
and concentration.
591
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:41,200
I'm not sure if I would even do it.
592
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:46,360
And two was to just read it again and get it stronger in my mind.
593
00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:49,080
And so I took the second option because it was easier.
594
00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:54,120
And so I'm kind of taking that same approach with the 10X is easier than 2X.
595
00:43:54,120 --> 00:44:01,000
Like right now I still have the 2X mentality, obviously, because I'm still in high school.
596
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:04,800
And I still have the 2X mentality for a lot of things.
597
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:10,400
Like one of the things that he talked about in Benjamin Hardy's speech, after when I came
598
00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:20,200
live, he was talking about do not form your present using the past, but form your present
599
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:21,800
using the future.
600
00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:26,320
So use the future to form your present, not the past to form your present.
601
00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:31,160
Like don't use the past to form your present, but do use the future to form your present.
602
00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:33,120
But I was always using the past to form my present.
603
00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:37,920
I was using my past decisions to form my present life.
604
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:40,280
And what got you here won't get you there.
605
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:47,520
So what all of the like the mindset, worldview, attitude, skill set, and knowledge base that
606
00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:52,560
got you in this current position will not get you to your 10X goal.
607
00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:56,840
Like it will not get you to your next goal if it's big enough.
608
00:44:56,840 --> 00:45:01,240
And so you have to kind of let go of the old and then embrace the new.
609
00:45:01,240 --> 00:45:05,200
And so this is the thing that I'm thinking about when reading this book.
610
00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:08,240
I was thinking, okay, this is definitely the mindset.
611
00:45:08,240 --> 00:45:11,440
And I was thinking about this before I even started reading the book.
612
00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:16,920
Literally right after that speech, speech, I already made the decision to read the book
613
00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:23,920
and I made the decision to read it multiple times, at least once.
614
00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:26,240
Definitely not two times in a row, but I will read it.
615
00:45:26,240 --> 00:45:29,600
I definitely intend on reading it again in the future.
616
00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:33,160
Similar to how I read Transurfing two times, but not directly after.
617
00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:38,840
And I definitely plan on reading Transurfing a third time, but not, not anytime soon.
618
00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:45,680
Because I have other books on my list, but this thought that I'm not going to be able
619
00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:49,640
to make these decisions or I definitely can make the decisions, but they're going to be
620
00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:51,200
really hard and difficult.
621
00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:56,240
And I have to use a lot of willpower to make these decisions and solidify this stuff in
622
00:45:56,240 --> 00:45:59,440
my brain and like actually implement this stuff.
623
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:03,400
It's going to be hard to implement this stuff, which is why I'm just going to keep reading.
624
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:08,720
I'm going to take the easy route and keep reading it and then read it again to strengthen
625
00:46:08,720 --> 00:46:10,240
it even more.
626
00:46:10,240 --> 00:46:15,280
So then these decisions basically become second nature and they become a part of me, which
627
00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:19,680
is why I believe that reading is so valuable because I don't think you can actually get
628
00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:26,240
that value by not reading it multiple times.
629
00:46:26,240 --> 00:46:32,680
Or at least it would be extremely difficult and you have to like radically push through
630
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:35,120
discomfort.
631
00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:40,480
So that's why I'm really focusing on just reading it and not making drastic decisions.
632
00:46:40,480 --> 00:46:45,760
Like one thing that, because my friend is in a very similar position where we're definitely
633
00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:51,280
wanting to drop out, but I don't want to make radical decisions unless I'm confident in my
634
00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:52,960
ability to do so.
635
00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:59,560
Because this decision has been lingering in my mind for the past couple of months.
636
00:46:59,560 --> 00:47:02,760
Like I've been wanting to drop out for the past couple of months, but it wasn't until
637
00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:09,600
literally like yesterday or two days ago or today when it got extremely strong.
638
00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:18,360
Like it got extremely strong and I don't think that I have the capacity to do it, but I don't
639
00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:22,240
know if I have the knowledge base or the worldview or the skill set to do it 100%.
640
00:47:22,240 --> 00:47:25,320
Yeah, because that will absolutely destroy it.
641
00:47:25,320 --> 00:47:30,680
Like everything I come to see and know again, again, like I read that happened when I read
642
00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:34,680
Transurfing the first time, but now it's happening again.
643
00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:36,880
So that's kind of where I'm at with that.
644
00:47:36,880 --> 00:47:41,000
But another thing I want to talk about, this is extremely important.
645
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:42,240
So listen up.
646
00:47:42,240 --> 00:47:44,000
I want to give a back story.
647
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:50,280
So when I first started reading Transurfing, I was thinking like I developed this high
648
00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:56,840
ego and I developed this kind of very toxic attitude and mindset.
649
00:47:56,840 --> 00:48:03,400
Like I developed this superiority mindset where I developed, I learned all this new
650
00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:07,040
knowledge and I realized that no one else really knew it.
651
00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:12,720
And so I kind of started judging people internally, not externally, but I started kind of like
652
00:48:12,720 --> 00:48:15,360
putting other people down in my thoughts.
653
00:48:15,360 --> 00:48:22,000
So I was like thinking badly of other people and then I was kind of like in everything
654
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:29,560
that I did, it was this toxic attitude of, ugh, that's like not Transurfing or like
655
00:48:29,560 --> 00:48:31,560
I just developed this really toxic attitude.
656
00:48:31,560 --> 00:48:36,760
And then thankfully I became conscious of it and then I slowly started to destroy it.
657
00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:46,800
And then I grew like now I am pretty, I believe that I'm pretty blissful.
658
00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:47,800
Is that the word?
659
00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:48,800
I don't even know.
660
00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:57,920
But I'm pretty peaceful in my mind, in my thinking where I just, I take it as fact or
661
00:48:57,920 --> 00:48:59,240
I just take it as is.
662
00:48:59,240 --> 00:49:03,600
I accept the situation that not everyone knows about Transurfing.
663
00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:08,040
And now I accept that fact and I'm like, okay, that's okay.
664
00:49:08,040 --> 00:49:09,040
They can make their decision.
665
00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:10,200
I'll make mine.
666
00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:13,440
And now I just don't really worry about other people anymore.
667
00:49:13,440 --> 00:49:16,760
And I don't really have this toxic mindset anymore.
668
00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:23,120
And then when I learned about the 10X is easier than 2X, we were at Funalaki Live, me and
669
00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:27,560
my friend Franco were sitting next to each other and we're watching this and then we
670
00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:35,960
like this to radically, we got this new information that radically transformed our worldview again
671
00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:38,080
or our mindset again.
672
00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:43,700
So with this new information, naturally our ego started to rise because we had this new
673
00:49:43,700 --> 00:49:46,280
information that we didn't have before.
674
00:49:46,280 --> 00:49:47,600
And so we thought we were the best.
675
00:49:47,600 --> 00:49:49,760
We thought that we were amazing.
676
00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:52,200
We thought that we were beasts.
677
00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:57,920
And so then we started thinking like we started pointing things out like, oh, that's 2X.
678
00:49:57,920 --> 00:50:02,280
And we started developing this really toxic attitude.
679
00:50:02,280 --> 00:50:05,120
We started thinking like, ugh, that's 2X.
680
00:50:05,120 --> 00:50:07,800
And then another thing is really toxic.
681
00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:10,920
We were watching the 2 comma club.
682
00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:14,960
So this 2 comma club award was on our mind.
683
00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:22,400
And we were making jokes because my friend actually started this joke, but I maintained
684
00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:29,160
it and in my business incubator class, all of the years prior or like last year, the
685
00:50:29,160 --> 00:50:36,240
number one first place team made $5,000 in an entire year.
686
00:50:36,240 --> 00:50:47,400
So my friend originally made this joke because we were at the 2 comma club hangout basically.
687
00:50:47,400 --> 00:50:52,680
And then we realized that we had to go back to business incubator the next day.
688
00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:56,560
And so my friend was like, ugh, we got to go back to the 2 comma club.
689
00:50:56,560 --> 00:50:57,800
Or not the 2.
690
00:50:57,800 --> 00:51:01,120
He said, we got to go back to the 1 comma club.
691
00:51:01,120 --> 00:51:06,480
And so that was a funny joke, but it like spiraled and it started to go further and
692
00:51:06,480 --> 00:51:07,480
further.
693
00:51:07,480 --> 00:51:13,920
And then we established this very toxic and superior attitude towards literally everyone
694
00:51:13,920 --> 00:51:18,000
in that building, but especially in that room.
695
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:26,200
And then when we got into that room, we were just, I walked in and mind you, this morning
696
00:51:26,200 --> 00:51:27,720
I was thinking about that.
697
00:51:27,720 --> 00:51:30,080
And I was like, I had this inner tension.
698
00:51:30,080 --> 00:51:31,840
I had this inner tension.
699
00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:38,080
And I was like, I was talking like, or not, and last night I was talking about, we were
700
00:51:38,080 --> 00:51:41,400
saying like, that's 10 X or that's 2 X.
701
00:51:41,400 --> 00:51:44,320
We were basically having this toxic attitude.
702
00:51:44,320 --> 00:51:47,240
And I started to sense this inner tension.
703
00:51:47,240 --> 00:51:52,960
Going back to what I was said before how I started to actually pay attention to my inner
704
00:51:52,960 --> 00:51:56,400
tension now, like my heart pay attention to my heart.
705
00:51:56,400 --> 00:51:59,800
So I sense this inner tension, but I didn't really realize what it was.
706
00:51:59,800 --> 00:52:04,240
And then today walking into business incubator, my friend was already sitting there and he
707
00:52:04,240 --> 00:52:09,240
gave me this smirk that it was like this smile.
708
00:52:09,240 --> 00:52:16,400
And it was like the smile that you develop when you have this attitude of your superior
709
00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:18,280
than everyone else in the room.
710
00:52:18,280 --> 00:52:20,400
And you have this high ego.
711
00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:25,120
And I'm not trying to paint him in dark colors because I was doing the same exact thing.
712
00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:27,280
I reciprocated it.
713
00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:33,120
I smiled back at him and I was like, ugh, all these one comma club.
714
00:52:33,120 --> 00:52:34,600
It was a very toxic attitude.
715
00:52:34,600 --> 00:52:42,800
And at that moment, after I smiled back and reciprocated, I instantly became conscious.
716
00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:44,520
I was already conscious of the inner tension.
717
00:52:44,520 --> 00:52:46,160
I just didn't know what it was.
718
00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:51,680
I instantly became conscious of the fact that this was an extremely toxic attitude.
719
00:52:51,680 --> 00:53:00,720
And then my teacher was talking, like he was giving a lecture on the content for that day.
720
00:53:00,720 --> 00:53:05,200
And so I didn't really have time to talk to my friend about it until the end, but the
721
00:53:05,200 --> 00:53:08,160
whole time he kept on smirking at me and smirking at me.
722
00:53:08,160 --> 00:53:11,800
Like every time something my teacher would say something, he kept looking over at me
723
00:53:11,800 --> 00:53:12,800
and smiling.
724
00:53:12,800 --> 00:53:14,800
And I got really disgusted.
725
00:53:14,800 --> 00:53:18,120
I got really disgusted, I'm going to be honest.
726
00:53:18,120 --> 00:53:26,680
And so I said to him, I'm not playing this game anymore.
727
00:53:26,680 --> 00:53:28,400
And then he was like, yeah, I know I'm not.
728
00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:32,600
Because he thought I was talking about I'm not playing the one comma club game.
729
00:53:32,600 --> 00:53:38,280
He thought I was still part of the game that we developed of being high ego and superior
730
00:53:38,280 --> 00:53:40,120
than other people.
731
00:53:40,120 --> 00:53:43,120
And so, but I wasn't talking about that.
732
00:53:43,120 --> 00:53:48,000
I was talking about I'm not playing this game of being superior to other people.
733
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:50,560
Thinking that we're superior to the other people.
734
00:53:50,560 --> 00:53:55,960
And so once my teacher finally stopped his talk, I said to my friend again, because he
735
00:53:55,960 --> 00:53:57,920
like looked at me and smiled.
736
00:53:57,920 --> 00:53:58,920
He did that.
737
00:53:58,920 --> 00:53:59,920
Smile again.
738
00:53:59,920 --> 00:54:01,760
And I was like, no, dude, I'm not, I'm not playing this game.
739
00:54:01,760 --> 00:54:03,400
And he's like, yeah, I know I'm not playing either.
740
00:54:03,400 --> 00:54:08,600
And I was like, no, I'm not playing this game of, and then I gave like, I would literally
741
00:54:08,600 --> 00:54:10,720
like, had this burst.
742
00:54:10,720 --> 00:54:14,400
And I was like, I'm not playing this game of thinking that we're superior than other
743
00:54:14,400 --> 00:54:19,960
people like having such a high ego that we're dismissing everything everyone else is saying
744
00:54:19,960 --> 00:54:26,200
and we're like creating so much dependent relationships and access potential around
745
00:54:26,200 --> 00:54:31,520
a simple fact that we got a little bit new piece of information and we haven't even implemented
746
00:54:31,520 --> 00:54:32,520
it yet.
747
00:54:32,520 --> 00:54:37,480
Um, this is not exact word for word of what I said, but that's pretty much the gist.
748
00:54:37,480 --> 00:54:44,000
And then he like went silent naturally because I definitely hurt his ego at the time.
749
00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:47,920
And if I was to be in his position, I, my ego would have been hurt.
750
00:54:47,920 --> 00:54:50,000
And so I would have gone silent as well.
751
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:53,440
He went silent and then he didn't really, we didn't really talk that much for the rest
752
00:54:53,440 --> 00:54:55,360
of the period.
753
00:54:55,360 --> 00:55:00,840
And then walking to our next period, he was, he said, thank you so much for telling me
754
00:55:00,840 --> 00:55:01,840
that.
755
00:55:01,840 --> 00:55:04,680
Like I didn't realize I was creating all these dependent relationships.
756
00:55:04,680 --> 00:55:06,440
And that is huge.
757
00:55:06,440 --> 00:55:10,560
The fact that he was able to just turn it around, like we were both able to just turn
758
00:55:10,560 --> 00:55:12,560
it around just like that.
759
00:55:12,560 --> 00:55:13,560
That's huge.
760
00:55:13,560 --> 00:55:20,160
And I think that's a huge asset or a huge attribute he had to have because he actually
761
00:55:20,160 --> 00:55:26,800
wrote in the 10 X is easier than two X that one of the psychological flexibility is extremely
762
00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:27,800
important.
763
00:55:27,800 --> 00:55:34,280
And one of the most valuable, like one of the most valuable skills to have is the ability
764
00:55:34,280 --> 00:55:45,560
to accept and incorporate a brand new identity and like implement a brand new identity because
765
00:55:45,560 --> 00:55:52,200
that's all that 10 X you established this brand new identity of this 10 X goal.
766
00:55:52,200 --> 00:55:59,000
So right now my new identity that I'm beginning to establish is surfing as a two comic club
767
00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:02,000
X winner.
768
00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:03,120
That's my new identity.
769
00:56:03,120 --> 00:56:18,880
I'm trying to, excuse me, I have to pick up so let me get some water.
770
00:56:18,880 --> 00:56:19,880
Okay.
771
00:56:19,880 --> 00:56:23,360
So that's the brand new identity I'm trying to establish.
772
00:56:23,360 --> 00:56:31,560
And that's like what he said in the book, the ability to get new identities and incorporate
773
00:56:31,560 --> 00:56:39,360
brand new identities easily and efficiently is the best skill to have.
774
00:56:39,360 --> 00:56:47,560
And like after I'm really grateful for today because we realized that so going back to
775
00:56:47,560 --> 00:56:51,040
the story of how he said in the hallway, thank you for telling me that.
776
00:56:51,040 --> 00:56:59,520
And I said yes, because I'm glad because I said, yeah, I was I'm glad that we're conscious
777
00:56:59,520 --> 00:57:00,520
of this now.
778
00:57:00,520 --> 00:57:04,720
I don't remember exactly what I said, but the important thing is that I said, yeah,
779
00:57:04,720 --> 00:57:08,560
because we do this a lot.
780
00:57:08,560 --> 00:57:12,760
Every time we get a new piece of information or new knowledge or learn a new book that
781
00:57:12,760 --> 00:57:20,240
no one else knows about, our egos rise so much like asymmetrically like invariably
782
00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:23,640
higher than the new knowledge we learned.
783
00:57:23,640 --> 00:57:29,280
And that's extremely damaging because our egos rise so much and then we just create
784
00:57:29,280 --> 00:57:35,040
independent relationships and we see ourselves as superior to other people.
785
00:57:35,040 --> 00:57:44,280
So that's an extremely damaging or extremely dangerous mindset that we had that we developed
786
00:57:44,280 --> 00:57:49,160
that we just destroyed we nipped in the bud just with that second.
787
00:57:49,160 --> 00:57:52,760
And I'm very glad because we're getting better at this skill.
788
00:57:52,760 --> 00:57:57,760
So when we developed this mindset from Transurfing, it probably I'm not even gonna lie, I'm pretty
789
00:57:57,760 --> 00:58:01,600
sure it took months to destroy this mindset.
790
00:58:01,600 --> 00:58:07,920
But we heard that speech probably like maybe four days ago.
791
00:58:07,920 --> 00:58:13,040
And then we didn't start like creating this toxic mindset like literally yesterday because
792
00:58:13,040 --> 00:58:15,840
yesterday is when we started reading the book.
793
00:58:15,840 --> 00:58:18,800
And we didn't start creating the toxic mindset until yesterday.
794
00:58:18,800 --> 00:58:21,120
And so yesterday is when we started doing it.
795
00:58:21,120 --> 00:58:23,320
And then today is when we nipped it in the bud.
796
00:58:23,320 --> 00:58:29,000
So that's like right there we turned it around and destroyed that mindset.
797
00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:32,360
So that's an extremely important thing to know.
798
00:58:32,360 --> 00:58:37,400
Like when you're learning all this new information when you're learning new books, you have to
799
00:58:37,400 --> 00:58:43,720
act with humility, remain silent and remain neutral in your attitude.
800
00:58:43,720 --> 00:58:49,680
Because if you you have to keep your ego in check, keep your ego in check.
801
00:58:49,680 --> 00:58:55,520
And I constantly remind myself that because I am not superior to anyone else.
802
00:58:55,520 --> 00:58:57,320
Everyone is equal on an energetic level.
803
00:58:57,320 --> 00:59:04,360
And if you create a inferiority or superiority complex and you declare yourself inferior or
804
00:59:04,360 --> 00:59:09,080
superior to other people, you reduce your own influence on the world.
805
00:59:09,080 --> 00:59:11,480
And you don't want that if you're trying to achieve greatness.
806
00:59:11,480 --> 00:59:14,800
If you're trying to get a lot of goals, you want to have as much influence as possible
807
00:59:14,800 --> 00:59:16,520
on the world.
808
00:59:16,520 --> 00:59:20,960
So that's one lesson we learned about today.
809
00:59:20,960 --> 00:59:22,600
So let's recap.
810
00:59:22,600 --> 00:59:26,080
First thing, I'm at a crossroads.
811
00:59:26,080 --> 00:59:28,080
What's the lesson?
812
00:59:28,080 --> 00:59:30,440
Learn the 10x rule.
813
00:59:30,440 --> 00:59:32,840
Destroy all this stuff.
814
00:59:32,840 --> 00:59:37,520
And then the second thing is this attitude.
815
00:59:37,520 --> 00:59:41,520
Well, I'm pretty sure I missed one, but I don't know.
816
00:59:41,520 --> 00:59:45,040
I want to talk about I just bought a face cam on Amazon.
817
00:59:45,040 --> 00:59:46,960
It should come tomorrow.
818
00:59:46,960 --> 00:59:53,520
So either episode 76 or 77 will have a face cam on YouTube.
819
00:59:53,520 --> 01:00:00,440
And that's going to be huge because right now I have literally zero subscribers on YouTube
820
01:00:00,440 --> 01:00:04,180
and like 70 episodes uploaded.
821
01:00:04,180 --> 01:00:10,760
So I have like 70 episodes uploaded and zero subscribers and probably like 20 views all
822
01:00:10,760 --> 01:00:12,360
across the board.
823
01:00:12,360 --> 01:00:17,040
So I've got like no reach on YouTube, absolutely nothing.
824
01:00:17,040 --> 01:00:21,800
And it's because all of my videos, all my podcasts, they're all podcasts like one hour
825
01:00:21,800 --> 01:00:25,240
long and they have no camera.
826
01:00:25,240 --> 01:00:26,440
Like there's no camera.
827
01:00:26,440 --> 01:00:33,040
And I feel like people on YouTube watch podcasts with a camera, with a face cam.
828
01:00:33,040 --> 01:00:36,080
So expect to see that in the future.
829
01:00:36,080 --> 01:00:42,800
If you are listening on like a podcasting platform and would like to go watch the face
830
01:00:42,800 --> 01:00:45,720
cam, check out the YouTube.
831
01:00:45,720 --> 01:00:47,080
It's the same title.
832
01:00:47,080 --> 01:00:49,840
It's Ascend Momentum on YouTube.
833
01:00:49,840 --> 01:00:57,600
And with that said, to wrap things up, don't forget to download your favorite episodes and
834
01:00:57,600 --> 01:01:00,760
subscribe to the Ascend Momentum show.
835
01:01:00,760 --> 01:01:07,440
But before you guys leave, make sure to look up at the sky.
