Always Remember Your Destination

1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,000 So the big question is this, how do young men like us, who didn't listen to society, who are on our own, 2 00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000 how do we grow and improve ourselves so that we can live a better tomorrow? 3 00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:17,000 That is the question and this show will give you the answers. 4 00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:24,000 My name is James Radzinski and welcome to the Ascend Momentum Show. 5 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,000 Welcome back. 6 00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:31,000 Let's talk. 7 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:40,000 This morning I tracked my Bolt score, which is a test to see how healthy of a breather you are. 8 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:47,000 Healthy levels is at least 40 seconds and this morning I got 6 seconds. 9 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:56,000 For context, last week around this time I had 19 seconds and this morning I got 6. 10 00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:07,000 So that is something that I just want to let you guys know and I kind of failed on focusing my breathing. 11 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:15,000 But things are changing again and today I focused on my breath a lot more. 12 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:22,000 Did some exercises on the bike while I was biking to school, at the gym, home. 13 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:26,000 But I didn't do enough. 14 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:33,000 I have been focusing on my breath a lot more, trying to restrict my breathing throughout the day. 15 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:42,000 But it's a journey and I'm just at the beginning and I'm failing already. 16 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:46,000 I'll do better. 17 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:56,000 I just want to talk about lately I've been having low energy and not even low energy. 18 00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:08,000 I feel like it's my free energy, the energy that is flowing through my body is low. 19 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:17,000 Because once I got to the gym I was able to lift heavy and hard today. 20 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,000 But I've been falling asleep all day long. 21 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,000 I would just fall asleep. 22 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,000 I'm not talking about falling asleep for bed. 23 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,000 I'm talking about falling asleep mentally. 24 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:33,000 I would just lose vigilance a lot throughout the day. 25 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:38,000 Also I feel as though I'm not on the right path right now. 26 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:45,000 I'm not sure, I'm really not sure what I'm doing bad or what I'm doing wrong. 27 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:50,000 But that's pretty much what's going on lately. 28 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,000 Let's talk about what I did last night. 29 00:02:52,000 --> 00:03:09,000 I spent $180 buying a over the ear headphones, a CD player and wave one of the gateway experience CD. 30 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,000 And this is going to be huge. 31 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:19,000 If you are not sure, if you've never heard of the gateway experience, wave one, there are eight waves in it. 32 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:24,000 Each one is incremental so you start at wave one. 33 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:31,000 It is basically a guided meditation and wave one gets you into a deep relaxation. 34 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:39,000 They play noises that attune your brain waves to a certain frequency. 35 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:47,000 That allow your brain to actually get in that state. 36 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:52,000 So it's better to use that CD than not to. 37 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,000 It allows you to do a lot more. 38 00:03:55,000 --> 00:04:08,000 And eventually you can get an out of body experience where you literally are so deep into meditation that your soul literally just leaves your body. 39 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:14,000 But right now I'm just focusing on focus 10 which is wave one. 40 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:18,000 Wave one focuses on focus 10. 41 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:27,000 So right now you and you and I are both on focus one which is just fully conscious in the present. 42 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:33,000 And in or not just that but fully present in like conscious in reality. 43 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:38,000 So we are in reality itself. 44 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:46,000 And then I don't know all the focus levels in between but focus 10. 45 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:53,000 I'm not even sure if there are focus levels in between but focus 10 is the deep relaxation. 46 00:04:53,000 --> 00:05:02,000 And then you can get focus 12 and then focus 15 and then focus 21. 47 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:09,000 And then I don't even I'm just learning about all this stuff but pretty much I read Transurfing. 48 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:17,000 So after I read Transurfing once it started to change my by the way Transurfing is a book. 49 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,000 It's called Reality Transurfing by Vadim Zelen. 50 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,000 It's parts one through five. 51 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:31,000 So I read that book and it like shattered my worldview. 52 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:36,000 I started to like question my interpretation of the world. 53 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:41,000 And then once I started reading a second time through it started shifting my worldview. 54 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:47,000 And now I'm a little over halfway through the book on the second read through. 55 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:53,000 And my worldview is definitely shifting and I am starting to believe like anything. 56 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,000 I'm starting to be able to believe anything. 57 00:05:55,000 --> 00:06:06,000 So that's context but then the other day I discovered this on a D classified CIA document. 58 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:10,000 It's called the analysis and assessment of the gateway process. 59 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:18,000 And it's basically the CIA did like research or they did. 60 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:27,000 They had like a project where they would use the gateway experience which is developed by Munro Institute. 61 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:39,000 And they would like test they would use the gateway experience for like the army I'm pretty sure. 62 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:43,000 And so it was it's like this whole thing. 63 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:53,000 And it's basically awakening your consciousness like you becoming more conscious and more aware and expanding your consciousness. 64 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:59,000 And so I read that whole document the analysis and assessment of the gateway process. 65 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:00,000 It's like 30 pages. 66 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:07,000 I read it over the weekend and I actually like am excited for it. 67 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:14,000 I'm looking forward to it to the point where I actually bought Wave 1 like the first CD that they sell. 68 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:21,000 But if I were to have seen that document if I were to read that document one year ago from today, 69 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,000 I definitely would have just dismissed it. 70 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:31,000 I would have just like thought that it was fake or thought they were crazy. 71 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:35,000 And I would have just like dismissed the completely dismissed it. 72 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:49,000 And I think that really just shows how valuable it is to learn how to learn how to and to get good at destroying your limiting beliefs 73 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:56,000 and becoming conscious of it and changing your worldview because over the past year, 74 00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:06,000 I've gone on this journey of self improvement and just educating myself through reading a lot of books. 75 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:12,000 And there was a lot of things that I read, especially in Transurfing, 76 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:21,000 that absolutely destroyed my worldview and started to shift like and I started to take up new opinions and ideas. 77 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:30,000 So my beliefs and values and like my entire worldview was different from when you're from today. 78 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:44,000 And one of the biggest skills that I picked up over the past year is to be able to throw out ideas and change it for new ideas. 79 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,000 And let me explain what I mean by that. 80 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:54,000 It's super valuable to learn new information that contradicts your own information 81 00:08:54,000 --> 00:09:03,000 and have the humility to throw out your own information and throw out all the old crap that is not valuable anymore. 82 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:13,000 So I've done this so many times now and it's like becoming really good at it now. 83 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:22,000 And I can see why it can go bad if you throw out good for bad, but it's better. 84 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:32,000 I feel like the pros outweigh the cons and it's just one of those skills or things that people do that sets them apart from the rest. 85 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:37,000 It's like really the successful people are the ones doing that. 86 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:44,000 So a year ago I wanted to learn how to breathe. 87 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,000 That was the first book that I read. 88 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:51,000 And so I read the book, learned some new information and I realized, oh, this guy knows more than me. 89 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,000 And my breathing patterns were pretty bad. 90 00:09:54,000 --> 00:10:01,000 So I'm going to get rid of this and take up his own, his stuff and start believing in his stuff. 91 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:06,000 So I got rid of the junk and replace it with new stuff. 92 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:19,000 And then flash forward three months ago, or not three months, six months ago when I first read Transurfing. 93 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:24,000 That was the book that destroyed my worldview. 94 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:39,000 From the get go, from the first chapter, I already had to realize that this guy is talking about a lot of stuff that I contradicts my own worldview. 95 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:51,000 But this guy is actually onto something and I had the humility to throw out my own beliefs for the betterment of myself. 96 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:58,000 Because this new information that he was sharing was actually the right stuff. 97 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,000 And I was just holding myself back. 98 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:04,000 All of my beliefs and my thought patterns were just holding me back. 99 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:12,000 And I'm very grateful that I had the humility to adopt this new worldview and to integrate it into my own. 100 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:25,000 Because it is extremely harmful to just hold on to your own worldview forever. 101 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:35,000 And Transurfing, if you can internalize the concepts and the principles in Transurfing, that will change your life. 102 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,000 Now, my life hasn't changed much. 103 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:46,000 It's been six months, but to be fair, I haven't actually been... 104 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,000 Here, I haven't been working on it. 105 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,000 Let me explain. 106 00:11:51,000 --> 00:12:03,000 Today I realized a couple days ago, maybe a week ago, I read this sentence that really struck to me. 107 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:07,000 It was in the Russ... it was in Dancing After The Music Stops. 108 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:12,000 In that book, in the introduction, I haven't read the actual book yet, but I just read the intro. 109 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:18,000 And no, I don't even think that I read it in there. 110 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:22,000 I might have read it in that book, but I did read it from that author. 111 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:27,000 It might have been on his website, The Most Beautiful World, I'm pretty sure it's what it's called. 112 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:41,000 But I read him say that everything that he visualized, like everything he visualized using Transurfing, came true. 113 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:47,000 And he listed up like two or three different examples. 114 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:51,000 So I kind of just... I was like, oh, cool. 115 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:59,000 But then today I realized that he just talked about that. Like he was saying that's all Transurfing is. 116 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:08,000 Or not, he wasn't saying that, but he was saying like, there's the secret to life and those who learned to use it, like gain success. 117 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,000 And he was saying Transurfing. 118 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:15,000 And then he went on to explain that everything he visualized went on to be true. 119 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:27,000 And there's one thing that I realized today. I'm focusing on all the little bitty details, like not generating too much excess potential. 120 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:30,000 Reducing my importance. 121 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:38,000 I'm focusing on all the little things, which is good. 122 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:51,000 But I kind of just dismissed the biggest mover of Transurfing. Finding your own goal, your innermost goal, and finding your innermost door. 123 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:57,000 And then I dismissed visualizing. 124 00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:03,000 That's like the big pieces of Transurfing. 125 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:15,000 He literally said in the book, the only thing that is truly important is finding your innermost goal and your innermost door. 126 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:24,000 And I just dismissed it. I didn't spend time. I did spend time trying to find my own goals and doors. 127 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:30,000 But I don't think that I did it very consciously and very well. 128 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:36,000 And so that's what I'm thinking right now. I have to look out for my goals and doors. 129 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:43,000 And I'm remembering just now while I'm explaining this that he said, don't throw out your current door. 130 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:51,000 So right now my current door is podcasting and that's actually it right now. 131 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:56,000 My current door is podcasting. He said, don't throw it out. 132 00:14:56,000 --> 00:15:07,000 He said, be on the lookout, be vigilant, be conscious aware, looking for your next, like your actual goal. 133 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:14,000 Because right now I think my goal is going up, moving to Hawaii and surfing. 134 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:19,000 Like that's what I desire right now. But I didn't really give it much thought. 135 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:25,000 I heard my friend say it and then I just internalized it. 136 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:33,000 And then I didn't really look out for my innermost door consciously. 137 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:40,000 I kind of just went with the flow and stumbled upon it while I read a book. 138 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:51,000 So right now he said, the only things holding you back from achieving your goals are is yourself. 139 00:15:51,000 --> 00:16:04,000 So if you have doubt or if you don't have confidence or self-belief, then you're holding yourself back. 140 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:11,000 And so I have doubt that this really is my innermost goal and my innermost door. 141 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:15,000 And the door, by the way, is like the path towards your goal. 142 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:19,000 And it's basically the route you take to get to your goal. 143 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:28,000 And right now my door would be podcasting because that's kind of the route that I'm taking to achieve my goal, 144 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:36,000 which is to move to Hawaii and surf, become a surfer. 145 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:46,000 But that is, that's something that I just kind of reflected on on my bike ride home today. 146 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:56,000 And I was thinking like, why is my life, why am I so down? Why am I low energy? Why do I feel something nagging at me? 147 00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:02,000 And I think I feel as though I'm not really one, I don't know for sure if this is my innermost goal. 148 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:06,000 Two, I don't know for sure if this is my innermost door. 149 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:12,000 Three, I'm not visualizing. I'm not reminding myself of my destination. 150 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:19,000 I'm kind of just going through the day to day and I'm not reminding myself where I'm headed. 151 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:30,000 Probably the last time I reminded myself that I'm going surfing like consciously and legitimately for a decent amount of time was like a couple days ago. 152 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:40,000 So I'm not reminding myself my destination, which if you're going, if you're traveling and you're kind of just driving around 153 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:50,000 and you don't really know where you're going and you're not thinking of where you're going, well you're going to get lost and you're not going to end up in the right place. 154 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:57,000 So I'm not thinking about surfing enough. I'm not thinking about moving to Hawaii enough and I'm getting lost. 155 00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:01,000 I feel like I'm, I'm steering off of course. 156 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:06,000 So that's one of the corrections that I need to make in the coming days. 157 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:16,000 I have to figure out if this even is my, like my true goal, my true goal, my true path. 158 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:19,000 And that's another thing. 159 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:32,000 He said, settle on one main goal and then all of your other desires will be fulfilled along the way. 160 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:38,000 So right now my one main goal, well I actually have three, three goals right now. 161 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:50,000 Get a MacBook Air, go to Funnel Hacking Live in Florida in 20 days and move to Hawaii and become a surfer. 162 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,000 Those are my three main goals. 163 00:18:52,000 --> 00:19:02,000 Now those three goals, you should only settle on one. 164 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:12,000 So the one that I will settle on is my end goal, like my, the biggest goal, which is going to Hawaii and becoming a surfer. 165 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:23,000 Because to be honest, I already bought, we already bought the plane tickets and we already bought the hotel rooms or the hotel room to get to, 166 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:34,000 and we bought the tickets for Funnel Hacking Live, which is a conference, it's like an event, a live event experience for entrepreneurs. 167 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:39,000 And I bought all that stuff, so that is a done deal. 168 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:49,000 I haven't gotten the MacBook Air, I don't have any money for it, or I do have money for it, but I don't have enough money for that and getting food on, 169 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:55,000 like that and paying for the miscellaneous things on the trip. 170 00:19:55,000 --> 00:20:03,000 So that is another thing, but Hawaii is what I truly want. 171 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:09,000 Like I don't truly want a MacBook Air, that's just one of the things that I desire. 172 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:17,000 What I truly want is Hawaii, like I want to move to Hawaii and surf. 173 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:32,000 But it's, it's, it's, ah, yeah, that's it. 174 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:45,000 Focusing on Hawaii, going Hawaii, and there's one thing that I kind of remembered, I heard it when, I don't know if I heard this in my books, 175 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:50,000 or I kind of connected the dots and came up with this conclusion. 176 00:20:50,000 --> 00:21:02,000 Don't, so I, this is an example, don't plan on making, don't have your goal to get into the NFL. 177 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:09,000 So don't say, oh, I really want to get into the NFL and work towards it, and then maybe you'll get in. 178 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:15,000 No, the better goal would be, I'm going to be the best quarterback in the NFL ever. 179 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:23,000 Because then, with that goal, there's no question of, am I going to get in the NFL at all? 180 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:28,000 No, the goal is you're going to be the best in the NFL. 181 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:36,000 That's kind of what I, I was, I was walking by a TV today at the gym and it was playing football. 182 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:49,000 And that, like, kind of epiphany, got, like, I realized that epiphany in my head. 183 00:21:49,000 --> 00:22:01,000 So if your goal is to get into the NFL and play football professionally, well then, in your goal, you may have doubts that you're even going to get in the NFL. 184 00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:07,000 Like, your goal is to get into the NFL, so are you even going to get in the NFL? I don't know. 185 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:14,000 But if your goal is to be the best player in the NFL, well then, you have a much bigger goal. 186 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:17,000 So getting in the NFL is not of your concern. 187 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:22,000 So your mindset is going to be so much different when you're training and doing all this stuff. 188 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:27,000 Because you're not going to be playing for the short term, like, getting into the NFL. 189 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,000 You're not going to be training for that short term. 190 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,000 You're going to be training for the long term. 191 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:37,000 You're going to be like, okay, yeah, I lost this game. Doesn't matter. How can I improve? 192 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,000 This game does not matter. 193 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:44,000 What matters is my end goal, which is being the best player in the world. 194 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,000 How can I get there? What can I do to learn? 195 00:22:47,000 --> 00:23:00,000 Like, you find more and more areas to improve on and more and more things to learn. 196 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,000 So that's what I'm kind of thinking. 197 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:08,000 Right now, my goal was just to get to Hawaii. Hopefully, I can get to Hawaii. 198 00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:13,000 Hopefully, hopefully, maybe I can. Maybe I can. I don't know. 199 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:16,000 Can I even get to Hawaii? Is that even possible? 200 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:20,000 Can I move to Hawaii? Is that in the cards for me? 201 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:25,000 So I think that I need to come up with a bigger, batter, more long term goal. 202 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:28,000 Because then, my mindset totally shifts. 203 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:36,000 And I think that I derived this epiphany from a story that I heard from Russell Brunson. 204 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:42,000 And I'm going to give you a story to give context that he gave. 205 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:57,000 So this story, he talked about how there was in like the past, before they hit the four-minute mile, 206 00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:00,000 everyone thought it was impossible. Doctors said it was impossible. 207 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:06,000 Like, they actually said it's humanly impossible to run faster than four-minute mile. 208 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:16,000 Or to get a four-minute mile. Or a sub-four-minute, I think, yeah. 209 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:22,000 And then, no one did it. No one's ever done it until this one person did it. 210 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:25,000 He just broke the four-minute mile. 211 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:32,000 And then, like a few months later, like super quickly, another person broke that record. 212 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:37,000 And then, another person. And then, since then, over a thousand people have run a four-minute mile. 213 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:43,000 And so, the moral of the story is, people don't know that it's possible. 214 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:50,000 So they're not... If someone doesn't know that it's possible, they're going to have doubts. 215 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:55,000 And they won't know it's possible, so they won't try so hard, maybe. 216 00:24:55,000 --> 00:25:00,000 I don't really remember the exact moral of the story, but I kind of have a conceptual idea in my head. 217 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,000 I'm just having a tough time explaining it into words. 218 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:10,000 And so, once that person broke the four-minute mile, he proved to everyone else. 219 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,000 And then, everyone else had a completely mindset shift. 220 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:16,000 They realized, oh, it's real. It's possible. It is true. 221 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:19,000 Like, this is a thing that can happen. Like, I can do this. 222 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:23,000 And then, a person broke it again. And then another. And then another. 223 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:28,000 And then, thousand, at least more than a thousand people have broken it since. 224 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:32,000 And it's because that one person proved that it's possible. 225 00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:41,000 And so, a follow-up story that Russell told was, his goal was to make... 226 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:47,000 He was in college. He was a wrestler. And his wife was financially supporting him. 227 00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:53,000 And his goal was just to make a thousand dollars every month, just to help out the cause. 228 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:57,000 His goal was a thousand dollars a month. 229 00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:00,000 And then, he got an email. 230 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:04,000 So, one of the entrepreneurs in his... 231 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:10,000 One of the online marketers in his scene was selling... 232 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:13,000 Had a course. It was called Traffic Secrets. 233 00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:19,000 And he sold it. And Russell was on his email list. 234 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:23,000 So, he got... Russell got an email from that dude. 235 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:27,000 And the email said, we did it. 236 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:32,000 So, Russell clicked on the email. And he was reading through the email. 237 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:36,000 And at that moment, his time froze. 238 00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:40,000 He was just sitting there. And his life had been changed. 239 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:49,000 Because what Russell read was that that guy who sold the Traffic Secrets course 240 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:56,000 made one million dollars in less than 24 hours. 241 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,000 And that was the four-minute mile for him. 242 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:04,000 No one had ever made a million dollars in 24 hours in that market. 243 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:11,000 And then that guy broke the four-minute mile and basically proved that it was possible. 244 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:18,000 And so, once Russell saw that, he realized, oh, I've been trying to get one thousand dollars a month. 245 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:23,000 And this guy just got one million in a day. 246 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:26,000 And then Russell had a complete mindset shift. 247 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:31,000 So, from there, he was thinking, no. 248 00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:34,000 I'm not getting a thousand dollars a month. I need to... 249 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:38,000 I want to get a thousand dollars... or I want to get a million dollars a year. 250 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:42,000 So, Russell had that way bigger goal. 251 00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:45,000 And because of that, his actions were different. 252 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:49,000 He wasn't trying to get one thousand dollars a month. 253 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:54,000 His actions were proportional to his goal, basically. 254 00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,000 That's what I like to think of it. 255 00:27:56,000 --> 00:28:01,000 When his goal was one thousand dollars a month, his actions were a fraction of that. 256 00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:04,000 So, he was like, oh, how can I get a thousand dollars a month? 257 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:09,000 And so, his worldview, his information... 258 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:13,000 His brain was only picking up information that fit into that goal. 259 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,000 How can I make a thousand dollars a month? 260 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:20,000 Not how can I make a million dollars a month? 261 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:23,000 And then once he realized that you can make more... 262 00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:28,000 Once he realized that he wanted to make a million dollars a year in one year... 263 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:31,000 He was like, no, screw this. 264 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:34,000 I'm not looking for these little one thousand dollars a month. 265 00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:38,000 I'm looking for how can I make a million a year? 266 00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:41,000 And then his actions were proportional. 267 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,000 Let's say his actions were... 268 00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:49,000 I don't know if I'm giving the right statement for this, but... 269 00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:53,000 His goal, let's say your actions are one percent of your goal. 270 00:28:53,000 --> 00:29:03,000 So, if your goal is one thousand dollars a month, you're going to get one percent of that in action. 271 00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:07,000 So, he's basically going to take action one percent. 272 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:12,000 He's going to move one percent forward every day towards one thousand dollars. 273 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:16,000 But if his goal was one million dollars, he'll move one percent forward every day. 274 00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:19,000 So, what do you think is bigger? 275 00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:23,000 One percent of one thousand or one percent of one million? 276 00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:26,000 Well, I think one million is bigger. 277 00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:31,000 That is kind of what I'm thinking. 278 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:40,000 So, I think that one of the things that I have to learn is I have to change my goal. 279 00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:43,000 Hawaii just is not big enough. 280 00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:47,000 Like, a couple months ago, Hawaii was a huge goal, and I thought, 281 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:50,000 oh my gosh, am I even going to do this? 282 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,000 Or, I don't even know if it was a couple months ago. 283 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:59,000 Like, when I first got that goal, like a month or two ago, I was like, is this even possible? 284 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:02,000 But now I'm like, okay, this is definitely possible. 285 00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,000 What's bigger? 286 00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:10,000 What's my one million dollars a year? 287 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:15,000 So, because lately my actions have only been podcasting, 288 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:18,000 and I haven't really done any stuff for business. 289 00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:23,000 Now, podcasting is for business, but it's not doing anything now. 290 00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:34,000 Like, I could definitely sit down and make money online just regarding the podcast. 291 00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:41,000 So, I got to figure out, that's one of the things that I learned in my reflection, 292 00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:46,000 that I got to figure out my bigger goal. 293 00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,000 Hawaii just is not enough. 294 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:52,000 Because, like I said in the beginning of this episode, 295 00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:57,000 one year ago, my worldview and my mindset was completely different. 296 00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:59,000 I didn't think that much was possible. 297 00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:02,000 I still thought that I was going to college. 298 00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:06,000 And now I know so much more as possible. 299 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:11,000 I simply just haven't taken much action or haven't really proved it yet. 300 00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:18,000 So, I have to come up with a bigger goal and allow the world to help me realize it. 301 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:22,000 I have to use those big movers like visualization, having your true inner-most goal, 302 00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:29,000 having your true inner-most door, and visualizing, and always reminding myself, my destination. 303 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:32,000 Throughout the day, after reminding myself, this is what I'm working for. 304 00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:35,000 This is where I'm headed. This is where I'm headed. 305 00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:43,000 If I was to drive, if I was to get in the car and drive, start driving, 306 00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:45,000 I'd just go random places. 307 00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:49,000 Maybe I'd go in a circle. Maybe I would go all the way across the country. 308 00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,000 I don't know. 309 00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:55,000 Maybe I'd drive into water. Who knows? 310 00:31:55,000 --> 00:32:00,000 But if I were to be thinking, okay, I'm driving to Florida. I'm driving to Florida. 311 00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:03,000 I will start looking for Florida signs. 312 00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:07,000 I'll start looking for signs that say, head to Florida. 313 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:10,000 Like, I'm not just going to drive mindlessly now. 314 00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:15,000 I'm going to actually shift my attention and focus my actions towards that goal. 315 00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:20,000 So that is one of the things that I just completely dismissed and forgot about. 316 00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:27,000 I just got to keep reminding myself of my destination. Keep reminding myself of my destination. 317 00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:31,000 So that's the biggest, that's the big lessons for today. 318 00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:36,000 Have a big, have a big goal. 319 00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:42,000 Get a bigger goal and keep reminding yourself of the destination. 320 00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:47,000 All the time. Be obsessive over it. Just remind yourself, this is what I'm doing this for. 321 00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:51,000 Because I have a routine. I have a strict regimented routine. 322 00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:57,000 I do the same exact thing for the first, like, three hours of the day. 323 00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:01,000 No, actually, I do the same thing all day long, every single day. 324 00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:07,000 Because I wake up, do my same morning routine, go to school. 325 00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:12,000 Or by the way, studying is in my morning routine now. 326 00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:15,000 Go to school, go to the same classes every day. 327 00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:18,000 So I'm doing all the same stuff. Go the same route to her school. 328 00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:21,000 I literally drive over the same cracks on the street every day. 329 00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:26,000 Look at the same things. Everything is routinized in my life. 330 00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:32,000 And I can really get lost in that. I've found over the past couple weeks, 331 00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:35,000 I can get lost in that if I don't have a destination. 332 00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:41,000 Like, routine is good, but it's not good if you're aimlessly doing it. 333 00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:44,000 And that's what I was doing over the past couple of days or weeks. 334 00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:47,000 I wasn't reminding myself where I'm going. 335 00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:54,000 I got to remind myself, why am I studying this? Why am I, why am I podcasting right now? 336 00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:58,000 Because I'm headed somewhere. I have a destination set. 337 00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:04,000 Originally my destination was Hawaii, but soon I will discover my true destination. 338 00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:08,000 Now it could take days, it could take weeks, it could take months. 339 00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:14,000 Ah, Valemzalin said, finding your, the process of finding your innermost door, 340 00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:17,000 or your innermost goal could take months. 341 00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:20,000 It could be very long. Do not rush it. 342 00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:26,000 Don't set a time scale. Just be impeccable in your principles of Transurfing. 343 00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:32,000 And just constantly run everything through your head, through that lens of, 344 00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:36,000 will this make my life feel like a holiday? 345 00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:41,000 One more thing. 346 00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:44,000 Heart and mind, unity of heart and mind. 347 00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:51,000 There's one very, there's one very important principle in Transurfing that 348 00:34:51,000 --> 00:35:00,000 I have not really taken action on. I haven't really done yet. 349 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:05,000 I haven't really, what's the word, actually taken advantage of. 350 00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:09,000 And it is listening to the Russell the Morning Stars. 351 00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:15,000 So if you've ever had this intuitive thought, like intuitive moment, 352 00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:20,000 like someone's about to open the door, or someone's here, or you just got an epiphany, 353 00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:25,000 you had an aha moment, like you just realized that you know something that you didn't know before. 354 00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:29,000 That is all the workings of the heart. 355 00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:34,000 And throughout the day, when you're making decisions, your heart actually, 356 00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:39,000 you actually feel emotions, and your heart is actually sending signals, 357 00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:42,000 like sending emotions to you. 358 00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:47,000 It like sending tension or inner peace, inner tension or inner peace. 359 00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:49,000 Or nothing. 360 00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:58,000 And, but we don't, normally we don't realize it, because our mind is too busy with its own chatter, 361 00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:05,000 too busy with its own logic, too busy with its ego, its self-importance, inner importance. 362 00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:11,000 It is too busy with all that stuff. 363 00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:18,000 And let me explain context, heart and mind, that is the terminology he uses in Transurfing. 364 00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:21,000 But let me tell you, the heart and mind is real. 365 00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:26,000 And it is simply the left hemisphere of your brain and the right hemisphere of the brain. 366 00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:37,000 The left hemisphere is, that job, the left hemisphere's job is to gather in information from the outside world. 367 00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:40,000 Use logical analog, to analyze things. 368 00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:41,000 Use logic. 369 00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:47,000 It's all about logic and numbers, and that brain thinks things. 370 00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:54,000 It can, kind of, it's logical and analytical, and it can use, it knows words, 371 00:36:54,000 --> 00:37:01,000 it knows language, symbols, and it knows the human language, like English, Spanish, like, it knows your language. 372 00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:05,000 Like that is your left side of the brain, and that's the mind. 373 00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:09,000 That's the heart and mind, the left side is the mind. 374 00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:14,000 And then the right side of the brain feels things, it knows things. 375 00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:23,000 The right side of the brain is your heart, that's the terminology, the right side is the heart. 376 00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:28,000 So unity of the heart and mind is simply just unifying your brain. 377 00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:34,000 So most people don't listen to their heart, they don't listen to the right hemisphere of your brain. 378 00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:45,000 And how effective do you think they are in the day to day, if they're split, if their brain is divided on all things? 379 00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:47,000 Because that's what we're doing. 380 00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:52,000 We don't listen to our heart, our mind doesn't listen to our heart. 381 00:37:52,000 --> 00:38:00,000 Our mind thinks that it knows best, and our mind, which is the left side of the brain, it thinks it knows best. 382 00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:03,000 And so it just goes on its own will. 383 00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:09,000 The mind just focuses on it, what it thinks it wants, what it thinks it needs. 384 00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:14,000 But the heart knows what it needs and knows what it wants, which that's the right side. 385 00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:21,000 So if you, so that's everyone, like most people, me included, 386 00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:25,000 they only listen to the mind, the mind dictates everything. 387 00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:32,000 And then the heart just kind of gets the way, pushed to the wayside, it kind of just is ignored and it's not listened to. 388 00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:40,000 So how effective of a person do you think someone will be in achieving their goals and becoming whatever they want to be? 389 00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:47,000 How effective do you think they will be if they are operating on half of a brain, just using left hemisphere? 390 00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:49,000 How effective do you think they'll be? 391 00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:52,000 Now, not very effective. 392 00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:55,000 Now, I'm going to ask you another question. 393 00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:58,000 How effective do you think they will be if they use both sides? 394 00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:06,000 If they combine and you, they unify both sides of their brain, left side and the right side, unifying that heart and the mind? 395 00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:08,000 How effective do you think they will be? 396 00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:11,000 I'm pretty sure that they will be very effective. 397 00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:21,000 That's another thing that I ignored or didn't ignore, but I just didn't have any intent on taking action on changing that part in my life. 398 00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:27,000 Listening to my heart, listening to the dictates of the heart, but that is all, like that is transwerving. 399 00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:32,000 That is listening to your dictates of the heart and that's all about going into the right direction. 400 00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:37,000 Like your heart tells you if decisions are good or bad. 401 00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:44,000 Before you make a decision, visualize and imagine yourself having made one decision and feel your inner tension. 402 00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:49,000 Feel, listen to the rustle of morning starts, which is sense your inner feeling. 403 00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:54,000 Are you tense or do you have inner peace or is there nothing? 404 00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:59,000 Because the heart always knows what it does not want and the heart is always correct. 405 00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:03,000 Like the heart knows it's never wrong. 406 00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:04,000 The mind is wrong. 407 00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:06,000 The left side of the brain is wrong. 408 00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:08,000 A lot of the times. 409 00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:11,000 But the right side is never wrong. 410 00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:20,000 It's always right and it may not know what it wants all the time, but it knows exactly what it does not want. 411 00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:27,000 So if you make a decision and you feel inner tension, that's the heart saying, we don't want this. 412 00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:28,000 You do not want this. 413 00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:32,000 So go back on that decision if you can and choose the other thing. 414 00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:39,000 Or don't make a decision at all because that is all there is like unify the heart and the mind. 415 00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:41,000 So that's two lessons. 416 00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:45,000 That's two things that we've talked about so far. 417 00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:52,000 Having a big goal to change your action towards it and remember the destination. 418 00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:58,000 I'm actually going to write that down on a piece of paper because that is so important and so... 419 00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:04,000 That's just... Alright, so big goal. 420 00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:11,000 And then no destination. 421 00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:24,000 And then the other one was like actually fulfill your full potential and actually unify your heart and the mind. 422 00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:25,000 Use your brain. 423 00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:28,000 Like actually convert, like use your whole brain. 424 00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:33,000 Most people are only using the left side of their brain on the day to day. 425 00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:35,000 So use your full brain. 426 00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:38,000 Take advantage of the whole brain. 427 00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:44,000 Like unify brain. 428 00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:47,000 That is like that's what I'm trying to say here. 429 00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:57,000 I know I try not to do this but I drink a lot of water today and I really got to use the bathroom so I'll be back. 430 00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:58,000 Okay, I'm back. 431 00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:00,000 Sorry about that interruption. 432 00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:03,000 But that's all there... Like that's what it's all about. 433 00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:05,000 Staying on course. 434 00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:06,000 Stay on course. 435 00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:07,000 Stay on purpose. 436 00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:09,000 There's this podcast that I used to listen to. 437 00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:13,000 And I didn't really listen that many episodes. 438 00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:20,000 I started listening towards the end of when I stopped listening to podcasts. 439 00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:27,000 So I only had the privilege of listening to a few episodes. 440 00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:30,000 But that podcast was called On Purpose. 441 00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:37,000 And now I can't really speak on the podcast itself but the title On Purpose. 442 00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:40,000 I didn't really understand what it meant at the time. 443 00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:46,000 But now, obviously I don't know what that title means. 444 00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:49,000 But I just want to give context to the words On Purpose. 445 00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:53,000 So I'm going to stop talking about that podcast. 446 00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:58,000 But I want to talk about the words On Purpose. 447 00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:00,000 Staying on purpose. 448 00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:01,000 That is what it's all about. 449 00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:03,000 Know your destination. 450 00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:07,000 Know what the purpose of what you're doing all this stuff for. 451 00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:10,000 I have a regimen and routine. 452 00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:13,000 I do the same exact thing every single day. 453 00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:16,000 Around the same exact time. 454 00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:17,000 Wake up same time. 455 00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:19,000 Go to bed same time. 456 00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:21,000 Brush my teeth same time. 457 00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:23,000 Ice my balls same time. 458 00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:24,000 Eat same time. 459 00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:25,000 Go to the gym same time. 460 00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:27,000 Everything at the same exact time. 461 00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:30,000 Same exact thing every day. 462 00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:36,000 And yes, even if you just do it all mindlessly every single day, you still can get benefit. 463 00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:42,000 Your life is still going to be better than it is now in one year from now. 464 00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:52,000 If you do it for the same, like if you have a good routine like mine, and you just mindlessly do it for an entire year, your life will be better. 465 00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:56,000 But you got to remind yourself of what you're doing this stuff for. 466 00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:59,000 Because your life will be even better. 467 00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:01,000 And you will actually start to feel better. 468 00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:10,000 If you have a purpose and you stay on that purpose during your routine, you always remind yourself why you're doing all this stuff. 469 00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:14,000 Don't forget. 470 00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:18,000 Then you will have a destination and you will go towards it. 471 00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:26,000 If you are trying to go to Florida, or you're trying to go... 472 00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:31,000 Yeah, let's just say you're trying to go to Florida and you live in Chicago. 473 00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:39,000 It's just a straight drive down south, southwest, or southeast, whatever. 474 00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:46,000 But if you don't have that destination set, but you want to go to Florida, but you don't remind yourself, I'm going to Florida. 475 00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:53,000 When it comes time to make a decision, you'll kind of just make a decision based on how you feel at that moment. 476 00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:59,000 So let's say there's a road going to Florida or a road going to California. 477 00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:03,000 You'll be like, oh, California looks cool. Let's go to California. 478 00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:08,000 That's what happens when you don't have a purpose, when you're not staying on purpose. 479 00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:12,000 When your destination is not set and you forget about it. 480 00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:19,000 That's what happens when you have a destination, but you forget about it and you don't remind yourself. 481 00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:29,000 So what you do is you constantly remind yourself, obsess over your destination, but do it indifferently. 482 00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:31,000 Remind yourself where you're headed. 483 00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:36,000 So then when it comes time to make decisions, you'll make decisions based off that destination. 484 00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:42,000 You'll choose that road going to Florida instead of California because that's where you're headed. 485 00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:47,000 You're headed to Florida. 486 00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:52,000 So that was just a big rant over all that stuff. 487 00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:58,000 I want to talk about supplements. 488 00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:03,000 I used to be extremely against supplements. 489 00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:06,000 The only thing that I would take is creatine. 490 00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:08,000 I used to be like, oh, 100% natural. 491 00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:16,000 You need to get all of your nutrients from food, like how our ancient ancestors did. 492 00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:20,000 But now I'm thinking maybe supplements are actually good. 493 00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:34,000 Like if you can get high quality supplements, maybe that's actually good because one, our soil and our water, all nutrient deprived. 494 00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:42,000 So we're not getting as good as much nutrients as our ancestors were thousands of years ago. 495 00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:45,000 So that alone affects things. 496 00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:52,000 So that's another reason why you should have supplements. 497 00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:54,000 Now I'm starting to shift. 498 00:46:54,000 --> 00:47:00,000 Before I was thinking no supplements, I want to be 100% whole foods. 499 00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:08,000 But now I'm starting to shift and I'm starting to actually take more and more supplements because maybe it's actually good. 500 00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:15,000 Now that we have access to all this technology, we can have the best health we've ever had. 501 00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:22,000 There's a guy named Brian Johnson who I was looking into a couple weeks ago. 502 00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:36,000 And I'm pretty sure I talked about him on the podcast, but he is basically a millionaire, like a multimillionaire who started a company called Blueprint. 503 00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:42,000 And I'm pretty sure it's called that. 504 00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:50,000 I haven't looked into it in a while, but essentially he's taking hundreds of supplements a day and he's like the healthiest man on the world. 505 00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:53,000 Like he is reversing his age. 506 00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:55,000 That's how healthy he is right now. 507 00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:58,000 He's not aging as fast as we are. 508 00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:12,000 His organs, his health, all of his markers, all of his tests are healthier levels. 509 00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:19,000 He's more optimal than the top 10% or 1% of 18 year olds. 510 00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:25,000 So Brian Johnson, he's probably like 56 years old or something like that. 511 00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:28,000 And he's healthier than me. 512 00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:30,000 50 year old is healthier than me. 513 00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:37,000 I'm about to be 18 years old and he is healthier than me. 514 00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:40,000 And he takes hundreds of supplements every single day. 515 00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:46,000 And so once I learned about that, I slowly started to change my viewpoints. 516 00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:55,000 Like I said in the beginning, it's very beneficial to be able to change your viewpoints and change your opinions, your beliefs and your worldview. 517 00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:58,000 And so I started slowly changing it. 518 00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:09,000 And now I'm leaning towards pro supplements because I just think that they are extremely beneficial. 519 00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:16,000 Only if they're high quality, like Brian Johnson only gets the highest quality supplements out there. 520 00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:22,000 And there's a few supplements that I started taking. 521 00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:25,000 One of them is Cistanch. 522 00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:30,000 And it has definitely helped, I feel. 523 00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:35,000 Another is Pine Pollen, which I took the mega dose. 524 00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:40,000 I took two mega doses every day, which is basically you take like a big dosage. 525 00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:47,000 I took one in the morning, one at night, and it was the powder form, Pine Pollen powder. 526 00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:50,000 And that was definitely good. 527 00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:53,000 But I ran out, so I stopped taking it for a couple of weeks. 528 00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:59,000 But I ordered the tinkature, Pine Pollen tinkature, which is basically drops. 529 00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:06,000 It's like a squeeze dropper that you, it's like a pipette that you drop Pine Pollen. 530 00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:12,000 It's like a liquid form under your tongue and it's like more bioavailable and it absorbs better. 531 00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:19,000 And so I bought one of those and that will come soon, like within the week. 532 00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:24,000 And that like Pine Pollen is definitely good. 533 00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:28,000 I'm definitely getting a lot of benefits off of that. 534 00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:34,000 Now that was a type of supplement that I would have probably had even before I was against supplements. 535 00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:43,000 Simply because it's natural and honestly it's more natural than creatine if you get Pine Pollen powder. 536 00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:54,000 But, so right now I'm taking creatine, I take Cistanch, and there's this new thing that I added, magnesium powder. 537 00:50:54,000 --> 00:51:02,000 So I just got, I searched magnesium powder and my friend said it's good for your sleep, 538 00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:07,000 but it's also good for protection against EMFs, which is like Wi-Fi and stuff like that. 539 00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:20,000 So I got that and I definitely, I haven't really noticed anything, but I haven't really been looking for noticeable changes. 540 00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:31,000 So that's that, but I like it, I like the taste of it, so I still eat it and I already bought it, so I might as well keep using it. 541 00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:34,000 I think that it's definitely benefiting me. 542 00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:45,000 So that's the stuff that I use and I also eat salt, I pour salt into my water, like the first glass of water I wake up. 543 00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:52,000 And the first thing I do is go to the bathroom, but then I go grab a glass of water, but before I fill up the water, 544 00:51:52,000 --> 00:52:04,000 I pour a bunch of salt in there at the bottom of the glass, and then I put my Cistanch in, and then I put creatine in, 545 00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:12,000 and then I pour water in, shake it around, and then I pour in the magnesium powder, and then I drink it all, 546 00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:16,000 and then I fill up the glass all the way full this time. 547 00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:23,000 Like the first time I fill it up, like maybe a fifth way up, and now I fill it all the way up, and then I drink it all. 548 00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:26,000 So I get all of my supplements like right away. 549 00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:42,000 And then I do the same thing at night time, but I only take magnesium, and sometimes I take Cistanch, but I haven't been lately at night time. 550 00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:50,000 But that is, I've definitely found benefits with supplements, and I definitely recommend supplements. 551 00:52:50,000 --> 00:53:02,000 I want to talk to you guys soon. I am going to be having a different microphone, but I'm not going back to my terrible old microphone that I had before episode 28. 552 00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:14,000 Hopefully I won't be. My dad, like this, I'm borrowing this microphone from my dad, who needs it soon, like from now till tomorrow, I think. 553 00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:27,000 I probably won't have this microphone tomorrow. And so I'm borrowing this from my dad, and I have been for like the past 21 days. 554 00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:37,000 This is, well, more than, yeah, I think 21 days, because this episode is 49, and I started on 28. 555 00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:48,000 So it's been like 21 days on this microphone, and my dad needs it back. 556 00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:54,000 Like someone, one of his colleagues at work needs it back, or needs to use it. 557 00:53:54,000 --> 00:54:02,000 So, but he has a different microphone that he said is higher quality and is better that I can use instead. 558 00:54:02,000 --> 00:54:10,000 I might do that. I don't know. We'll see where things go. I'll figure it out. 559 00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:21,000 But that's pretty much like what's going on lately. 560 00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:26,000 This morning I studied Transurfine. 561 00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:36,000 Oh, all right. So a couple of weeks ago, I started, actually, no, like last month, in two days last month. 562 00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:48,000 So in like August 8th, I started balancing on a, I bought a medicine ball, a 10 pound medicine ball, and I started balancing on it. 563 00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:56,000 So I just stand on it, do like squats, walk around on it, stand on one leg. I just practiced my balance on that ball. 564 00:54:56,000 --> 00:55:05,000 And I told myself, I'm going to balance on it. I'm going to practice 10 minutes every day. Just add it to my routine. 565 00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:10,000 So I did that for the past month, and I've gotten a lot better. 566 00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:20,000 I can walk like all the way across my hallway on that. And there's one thing. I started doing this new thing. 567 00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:32,000 So every once in a while, I do a new, like move on it. So I started walking around on it and then I started doing one-legged balancing, 568 00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:41,000 which I am not going to one leg of balancing, but I started doing backwards walking, like walking backwards. 569 00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:56,000 And it's actually really difficult. I can barely move on it. I can go, my progress on walking backwards is about the same progress as I was walking forwards when I first started. 570 00:55:56,000 --> 00:56:02,000 But I'm definitely getting better at it every single day. And this morning I took a very big tumble. 571 00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:08,000 Like I fell right on my butt and it was really loud. It was like 5.30 in the morning when I was doing it. 572 00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:17,000 It was still dark out. My family was still sleeping. I fell right on my butt and it hurt pretty bad. 573 00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:25,000 But I just got back up and started balancing again because you take falls and you just get back up and remember why you're doing this. 574 00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:36,000 Because I'm doing this to be a better surfer. I am doing this so I can, once I get to Hawaii and start surfing, I'll have good balance. 575 00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:39,000 That's why I'm doing it. Just remind myself why I'm doing this. 576 00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:51,000 And that's another thing. For the past couple weeks, I've been cutting the practice short. I set a 12 minute timer and then I stop around like 4 minutes. 577 00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:57,000 So I only do like 8 minutes of practice. And then sometimes I only do 6. 578 00:56:57,000 --> 00:57:04,000 So I gotta quit slacking because it's literally just 2 more minutes. It's literally just 10 minutes of practice. 579 00:57:04,000 --> 00:57:11,000 I can get through 10 minutes of practice. And the thing is, I am not reminding myself of why I'm doing it. 580 00:57:11,000 --> 00:57:17,000 Like I stop and I cut it short because I forget why I'm doing it. 581 00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:21,000 Obviously I remember but it's not at the top of my head. 582 00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:26,000 So I just gotta keep reminding myself of my purpose, reminding myself of my destination. 583 00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:30,000 Reminding myself that this has a purpose. 584 00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:37,000 And that's one of the things that I cut short. Also, I've been cutting short my meditations. 585 00:57:37,000 --> 00:57:40,000 Like 10 minutes, 5 minutes short. 586 00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:46,000 That's something that's very beneficial in my day and I gotta stop cutting that short. 587 00:57:46,000 --> 00:58:00,000 Remind myself why I'm doing this because I spent 17 years of my life destroying my brain with TikTok, YouTube, doing all that stuff. 588 00:58:00,000 --> 00:58:11,000 And 17 years of my life has been shaping and molding my brain to hold me back to becoming an adherent to society. 589 00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:25,000 And so meditation allows me to cleanse my brain of all that corruption and actually change my brain back to where it's supposed to be. 590 00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:35,000 But with all that said, I wanna bring, to wrap things up, I wanna bring back, 591 00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:54,000 I wanna go full circle and go back to what I bought last night, the CD player, the CD of Wave 1 from the gateway experience and the headphones. 592 00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:57,000 I'm really looking forward to that and I already have plans. 593 00:58:57,000 --> 00:59:07,000 I'm going to be setting up the CD player because it's just battery so I'll set it up, plug in my headset, put on the headset. 594 00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:15,000 And then put it right next to my bed, which is a Tatami mat, just a mat on the floor. 595 00:59:15,000 --> 00:59:22,000 And then I'm gonna lay down a blanket on top of my mat so there's like some cushion for my back. 596 00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:28,000 Because if I lay, I found that if I lay on my back for a long time it gets sore. 597 00:59:28,000 --> 00:59:39,000 And then I will put my pillow down, the buckwheat pillow, and then get another blanket. 598 00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:48,000 And then lay on top of the first blanket, under the second blanket, put the headphones on, make my room dark like pitch black. 599 00:59:48,000 --> 00:59:54,000 And then literally just put the blanket over me and then lay there motionless. 600 00:59:54,000 --> 01:00:00,000 And then get into a deep meditative state, deep relaxation. 601 01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:03,000 And that's the whole plan. 602 01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:10,000 I'm gonna do that for like 30 minutes, 45 minutes, however long the CD lasts. 603 01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:13,000 And then once I outgrow Wave 1, I'm gonna buy Wave 2. 604 01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:19,000 It'll be like under a box, but it's definitely gonna be worth it. 605 01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:28,000 To wrap things up, don't forget to download your favorite episodes and subscribe to the San Momentum show. 606 01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:44,000 But before you guys leave, don't forget, remember the Eagles.
