Don't Forget the Eagles

1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,000 So the big question is this, how do young men like us who didn't listen to society, 2 00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:12,000 who are on our own, 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 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:29,000 Welcome back everyone. 6 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,000 Episode 30. 7 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:40,000 I'm not going to lie, when I saw that I was on episode 30, two minutes ago, I got excited. 8 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:51,000 Because every time I hit a new 10's place number, when I type in the episode number on my podcast software, 9 00:00:51,000 --> 00:01:03,000 I click, so for example, on episode 10, I would click 10 and then 11, 11, 12, 13, 14. 10 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:07,000 And then once I got to 2, I would click on 2 first. 11 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:17,000 And it's always, I don't know if you guys are like this, but it's always satisfying when I get to move up to the next number to click first. 12 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:22,000 So I don't know if you really understood what I was even saying, it doesn't even matter. 13 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:35,000 What matters is, I want to talk to you guys about something that I did and me and my friend did and we discovered maybe like a week or two ago. 14 00:01:35,000 --> 00:02:02,000 And that thing is that us boys, boys and young men in society, just normal average guys, we grow up watching TikTok, going on Instagram, other websites. 15 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:14,000 And we end up looking at a lot of pictures or videos that mess up our brains. 16 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:26,000 And what we do is we end up putting girls and women on pedestals and we end up making them seem a lot more valuable and we overinflate their value. 17 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:36,000 And this is extremely harmful for us because one, we shouldn't even be looking at that stuff because it fries our dopamine receptors. 18 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:58,000 Two, when we overestimate their value, we destroy the balance in the world through our thoughts and then the way the world brings the balance back is by reducing our influence on the world. 19 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:15,000 So us overvaluing women hurts us because we are not able to achieve our goals as easily or even at all because our influence has been reduced. 20 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:28,000 And us as men, we strive and need and aim to achieve a lot of influence on the world. So just cut it out and then that's what's holding you back. 21 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:37,000 And so that is one thing that I realized a week and a half ago when me and my friend went to the mall to ask for some girls numbers. 22 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:47,000 And we found out that a lot of that excess potential, let me explain what excess potential is. 23 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:59,000 It is what is formed. It's what you create when you overvalue something. So when you put a girl on a pedestal, you create excess potential. 24 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:09,000 And excess potential can be dissipated through action. So you can get rid of all the excess potential through action. 25 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:18,000 But that's what most men, most guys in our society don't do. They just watch TikTok and never take action in real life. 26 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:26,000 And so that keeps them trapped and it also reduces their influence to nothing. 27 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:33,000 But I realized that you can actually regain your influence by taking action. 28 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:40,000 And action is really simple. All you have to do is go talk to some girls and ask for their numbers. 29 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:44,000 So we did that. Easier said than done by the way. 30 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:51,000 But you can definitely do it. I mean, if you just think about it, it's easier than lifting weights. 31 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:56,000 It's just the emotional tie to it. It's the mental aspect that's hard. 32 00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:02,000 But so we did that and we realized that a lot of the excess potential just dissipated. 33 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:13,000 And we were starting to feel more comfortable in public situations, social situations, and a lot more comfortable around girls and speaking to them. 34 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:23,000 But I am not happy with just that because I'm not back to where I should be. 35 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:33,000 Right now I'm just starting to become comfortable. I still am a little comfortable and I still get nervous around girls. 36 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:37,000 And to be honest, that's unacceptable for me. 37 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:50,000 So let me tell you a story of if you guys have been keeping up over the past couple of days, there's this one girl that keeps trying to be near me and talk to me and stuff. 38 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:55,000 And today she did some even more interesting things. 39 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:59,000 And it doesn't matter. 40 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:06,000 I realized that while she was doing some stuff, I would literally just meditate. 41 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:10,000 But she wasn't doing anything towards me. 42 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:14,000 She was just like, I don't even know. It's hard to explain. 43 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:24,000 It could all just be in my head. And if it is, then it's good that I'm taking action because all this stuff is just not good. 44 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:37,000 So after today, I realized that I need to not feel nervous, not overvalue girls because that will reduce my influence. 45 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:43,000 So I texted my friend and I said that we have to go to the mall again tomorrow. 46 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:48,000 And I'm not going to check my phone until after I'm done recording this episode. 47 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:53,000 But I suspect he'll agree and we'll go. 48 00:06:53,000 --> 00:07:04,000 And this will be very good for us because there's this one girl that I just keep seeing. 49 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:10,000 And yeah, you guys know what it's like. 50 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,000 But I'm getting a lot better at not thinking about her. 51 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,000 Yesterday I thought about her a lot. 52 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:21,000 Or not even yesterday. The day before yesterday I thought about her a lot. 53 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:27,000 The next day I kept on bringing my focus back to my goals. 54 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:36,000 Every single time I would think about that girl, then I would just instantly refocus myself, 55 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:46,000 realign my thoughts towards more important things like my goals. 56 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:53,000 Now I want to talk to you guys about some Transurfing principles that I learned this morning. 57 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:59,000 Outer Intention is the thing that I was really looking forward to. 58 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,000 And it took me 200 pages to get to it. 59 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:07,000 But finally on page 203, I got to Outer Intention. 60 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:14,000 Now Outer Intention is the epitome. 61 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:18,000 Outer Intention is everything in Transurfing. 62 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,000 It's literally a cornerstone of Transurfing. 63 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,000 That's what it's all about. 64 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:28,000 And my first read through, I did not really understand inner or outer intention that much. 65 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:35,000 Much less how to evoke the winds of outer intention. 66 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:43,000 But now I'm reading it and I'm studying it and I'm teaching you guys along the way. 67 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:47,000 I'll get even more understanding. 68 00:08:47,000 --> 00:09:03,000 Excuse me, I have to get some water. 69 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:11,000 So Outer Intention is basically the will to that something has already achieved. 70 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:17,000 And you just have to focus on the process of it realizing itself. 71 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,000 And that sounds really weird. 72 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,000 So let me explain. 73 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:31,000 Inner Intention is pretty much anything that you do to affect the external world around you. 74 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:49,000 Now Outer Intention is how the world meets you halfway and helps you, helps the goals, helps you in a way that your goals realize themselves. 75 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:54,000 So your goals achieve themselves pretty much and the world helps you. 76 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:58,000 Outer Intention is all about the world meeting you halfway. 77 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:07,000 And it's all about saving energy and getting things with the easiest, simplest way possible. 78 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:16,000 And he talked about how ancient civilizations mastered the art of outer intention. 79 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:26,000 And that's how they were able to build the pyramids, the great pyramids of Egypt. 80 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:37,000 But advanced civilizations like Atlantis also mastered the art of outer intention. 81 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:46,000 But that created huge amounts of excess potential so it had to be destroyed by balancing forces. 82 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:55,000 And slivers of knowledge have been passed down upon us, but we're yet to really understand it completely 83 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:59,000 because we're using inner intention to understand it. 84 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:15,000 And moving forward, outer intention is a huge priority and a huge piece of the Transurfing model. 85 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:32,000 So today is the 18th and in like one month, so like 30 days, 29 days, maybe 28, I don't know. 86 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,000 It will be my birthday. 87 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:42,000 So on around episode 59, 60, 61, I don't know what episode exactly. 88 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:50,000 When I record, wait, no, I think it's, yeah, when I record episode 59, it'll be my birthday. 89 00:11:50,000 --> 00:12:00,000 But it won't be until like episode 45 or 46 or something like that, or 44. 90 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:06,000 That's when that episode goes live, it'll be my birthday. 91 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:14,000 And I turn 18, so then I will be able to create my own bank account for my business. 92 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,000 And I'm really looking forward to it. 93 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,000 So that's where I'm at with my business right now. 94 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:24,000 I'm just focusing on 100% on podcasts. 95 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:35,000 And during school and business incubator, we talked to the teacher and me and my friend Franklin are going to be able to get the whole curriculum down in the first semester. 96 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,000 So we can just learn everything. 97 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:46,000 And it's a two semester class, but we're graduating early after a first semester. 98 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:54,000 So we're going to get all of the, we're going to touch everything and learn everything that there is in first semester. 99 00:12:54,000 --> 00:13:02,000 And we're going to focus on building a business in that class. 100 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:07,000 It's going to be a funnel building business, a consulting business. 101 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:11,000 And we're not doing it because it's the best business possible. 102 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:17,000 We're doing it because that will, that business is probably going to win in the first place. 103 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:20,000 It's a competition amongst all the other teams. 104 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:30,000 But we're also doing it because that business will give us a lot of good experience and practice building funnels for people. 105 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,000 So that's huge. 106 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:36,000 And so we're building a funnel building business. 107 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:43,000 And we'll get a lot of experience with the business side of things. 108 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:47,000 And we'll get a lot of experience building funnels for businesses. 109 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,000 So we'll get better at building funnels. 110 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:59,000 And while all this is happening, I'm studying marketing and expert secrets because I really think that marketing is everything. 111 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:03,000 Marketing is so valuable. 112 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:27,000 Like you can, you can have a, a detier product and your customer will still be happy if you have good marketing because marketing allows your customer to be more successful because you're going to be able to share stories that destroy their limiting beliefs, which allow them to be more successful using your product. 113 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:43,000 So that's why I'm excited to study expert secrets again tonight because to be honest, yesterday I skipped it because the episode that I recorded yesterday went very long. 114 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:55,000 Not because I, it was a long episode, but because it took me a while to prepare for it and post it because I had to write a long description. 115 00:14:55,000 --> 00:15:00,000 And also the episode was about the Transurfing Principles. 116 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:18,000 So I had to collect all the principles beforehand in order to talk. 117 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:25,000 So today is one of those days where I'm having less energy than usual. 118 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:34,000 I feel like it happens every five, seven days, maybe the last time it happened was episode 22, I think. 119 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,000 So that was like eight days ago. 120 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,000 Maybe it happened even sooner. 121 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,000 I don't know. 122 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:52,000 But tomorrow I plan on going to the park because tomorrow is the weekend. 123 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:53,000 Tomorrow is Saturday. 124 00:15:53,000 --> 00:16:02,000 So I'm going to the park with my friend and my other friend who is the bodybuilder I told you guys about. 125 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:03,000 He's 30 years old. 126 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:18,000 And I, we're going to do a hard workout and then I'm hoping that Franklin will want to go to the mall afterwards again and go ask for numbers. 127 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:24,000 And we're going to do the mall quick because like less than an hour, just be there in and out. 128 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:30,000 Get it done and not be wooses again. 129 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:47,000 Because I want to go to the gym in the afternoon also. 130 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:51,000 So I want to tell you guys, outer intention. 131 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:59,000 I'm studying it very deeply because if you can evoke the forces of outer intention, 132 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:02,000 you'll be able to achieve anything you want. 133 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:09,000 And my only goal right now is to get to Florida for funnel hacking lives. 134 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,000 We already have the tickets. 135 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,000 So we already did the hard part. 136 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:17,000 We just have to get there. 137 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,000 Which honestly won't even be that bad. 138 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:22,000 We could probably figure it out if it was tomorrow. 139 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:26,000 But we have a whole month. 140 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:43,000 Which I keep thinking to myself time is a very valuable asset, but it can also be destructive because if you have a little bit of a time, you will focus up and get things done. 141 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:48,000 But if you have a lot of time, you'll slack off until it gets close. 142 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:52,000 So I have a lot of time to get to funnel hacking live. 143 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:59,000 I just, so I fear that I may be slacking off by only doing my podcast every day. 144 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:06,000 But I also think that this is good. 145 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:17,000 I think that I really only have like an hour and a half after school to do stuff other than going to the gym. 146 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:28,000 So I chose to work on the podcast every day and I think that this will be one of the best return on investments that I'm doing right now. 147 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:33,000 And also I'm still studying expert secrets, so that's good. 148 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:40,000 And I bought the book, Lynch Pin, his new book, Russell Brunson's. 149 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,000 So I'm looking forward to that. 150 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:45,000 But I want to tell you guys something. 151 00:18:45,000 --> 00:19:00,000 I hadn't watched the trailer, the promotional video for funnel hacking live yet until last night after recording the podcast episode. 152 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:06,000 And man, that is, I'm definitely going to be there now. 153 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,000 That I am dead. 154 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,000 I definitely have to be there now. 155 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:32,000 If you guys haven't seen it, I definitely recommend going to watch it, funnel hacking, just search like funnel hacking live and then there will be like one of the top websites is like buy tickets and then go on that and then watch the video because I have to be there. 156 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:41,000 It's not even a question, I will be there, but that place is going to the place is actually crazy. 157 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:47,000 It's going to be huge for me. 158 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:57,000 Because I just remember a couple weeks ago, watching the your first funnel challenge. 159 00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:03,000 And I was recording my podcast at that time. So I did document it. 160 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,000 And I did like talk about it. 161 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:16,000 And that was like a milestone in my that was like a turning point in my entrepreneur entrepreneurial journey. 162 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:21,000 And he did a great job and all the other speakers there were amazing. 163 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:29,000 And that was online, a pre recorded event that I watched in my basement on my computer. 164 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:37,000 And I'm learning about how you can. 165 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:47,000 Russell Brunson teaches that you teach your frameworks the same frameworks just package differently. 166 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:54,000 And make them more expensive. So, for example, an author of a book. 167 00:20:54,000 --> 00:21:02,000 First they would create an ad with their just basic framework like their table contents or something. 168 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:08,000 And then they would record a video a little bit longer, those would be free. 169 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:16,000 And then they'd sell the book. So that's a little bit more expensive $20 high value high perceived value as a book. 170 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:21,000 And then they would sell a course online course. 171 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:27,000 And then they would sell an event. And that's basically what Russell's doing. 172 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:34,000 So I watched his ad and then I watched his free video I watched. 173 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:42,000 I read his books and I'm actually studying his books, one of them at least right now. 174 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:46,000 And so I've gotten a lot of value off of that. 175 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:53,000 And he also said that if you can get them in a live experience, it's not about the content. 176 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:58,000 It's about the experience of being there that changes lives. 177 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:08,000 So that and he has done this like 10 years, he's done funnel hacking life for a long time. 178 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:14,000 And so he's perfected the art of creating an amazing experience. 179 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:21,000 And I trust that he will do it again this year because even just watching the video, it was amazing. 180 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:26,000 And it already gave me a heart pumping. 181 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:34,000 So being there in person and hearing him teach and speak and hearing all the 30 other people, all the 30 other speakers. 182 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:42,000 That experience will absolutely revolutionize my life. I believe it. 183 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:50,000 So I'm really looking forward to that. 184 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:55,000 I want to talk to you guys about my mornings. 185 00:22:55,000 --> 00:23:12,000 So over the past couple weeks, I cut out like vegetables because I heard that they were not good for you because they have like anti nutrients and then also DHT inhibitors. 186 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:19,000 So I cut them out and I only I only ate fruits and that and meats. 187 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:29,000 Until the other until like two weeks ago, I was getting very bad stomach aches in the morning, not like really bad like worse. 188 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:41,000 Not as bad as they were when I was eating unhealthy like processed foods, but they were bad enough in the morning to where it was so annoying because I'm healthy. 189 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:47,000 So I shouldn't be too healthy to experience pain while pooping pretty much. 190 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:50,000 I'm too healthy to have stomach aches. 191 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:56,000 So I looked out, I looked, tried to figure out how to fix it. 192 00:23:56,000 --> 00:24:03,000 So I added carbs to my diet, added rice, white rice, which doesn't have that much fiber. 193 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:11,000 I don't think but I saw marginal improvements. 194 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:20,000 And so but then it came back and it was bad again. And so then I added spinach to my eggs. 195 00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:26,000 So my friend said that he would recommend cooking the spinach. 196 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:34,000 So I just I just threw a bunch of spinach in my eggs while I was cooking them and that actually tastes so good spinach and eggs. 197 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:38,000 I did not even think that I would like it so much, but I love it. 198 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:44,000 So yesterday I started that and then this morning I put even more spinach on it. 199 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:53,000 And this morning my stomach ache was not there, but it just took a long time and multiple multiple poops to get everything out. 200 00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,000 So I'll let you guys know. 201 00:24:55,000 --> 00:25:01,000 I might let you guys know how this next one tomorrow morning goes. 202 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:15,000 I suspect that it will be the best. 203 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:25,000 So I read the first time I read expert secrets, I was learning about how to tell stories and how to teach your frameworks. 204 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:33,000 And that actually like helped me so much become a better speaker and teacher to help you guys. 205 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:46,000 And now I'm kind of I need the next thing or I need to refresh and learn more about it because I just read it through once and then implemented whatever I remembered. 206 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:59,000 So I improved but not as much as I should. So I actually got to the chapter where you're he's teaching you how to tell stories. 207 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:04,000 So I'm going to reread that again today and study it. 208 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:13,000 So definitely in the future you guys should expect me to become a better storyteller. 209 00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:20,000 I just realized that well for one this episode I'm kind of not really in the flow. 210 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:30,000 I'm not because I have low energy and that's just what happens when I'm recording and I have low energy. 211 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:36,000 I don't really know what I'm trying to figure out things to say but I'm just not doing very good. 212 00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:47,000 So it's perfect because I just looked over to my left and saw my Eagles story drawing and it reminded me that I haven't even told you guys about it in a while. 213 00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:50,000 I haven't even told that story in a while. 214 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:58,000 So I'm going to re say the story because I always say it's always the last word of my outro. 215 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,000 Remember the Eagles. 216 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:10,000 So it's definitely important and a lot of you guys may or may not have even heard it before so I'm just going to remind you. 217 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:29,000 So to start off let me get some water. 218 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,000 So to start off I want to talk to you guys. 219 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:35,000 Have you guys heard of the law of attraction? 220 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:39,000 Yeah a lot of people have heard of the law of attraction. 221 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:46,000 Basically whatever you think about you attract through your thought energy. 222 00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:57,000 Now I want to tell you guys about another not so well known law but it definitely governs all of nature and it's called the law of advancement. 223 00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:06,000 And what the law of advancement says is in order to go up it must go down first. 224 00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:12,000 Everything that comes up will go down first. 225 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:19,000 So what that means is I want you to imagine a house. 226 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:27,000 Just building, no I want you to imagine an empty vacant side of land and you're trying to build a house on it. 227 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:29,000 Well what do you do? 228 00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:32,000 You dig out a hole to place the foundation in right? 229 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:39,000 So first you go down, you dig the hole down so that is the down piece of the law of advancement. 230 00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:43,000 And then you fill in the foundation and build up the house and then that's the up. 231 00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:52,000 So first you have to dig the hole, go down in order to build the foundation and build the house, go up. 232 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:56,000 Are you guys getting what I'm saying? Are you catching this? 233 00:28:56,000 --> 00:29:01,000 So there's also, I want to tell you guys another example. 234 00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:07,000 Imagine a seed, it's a tree seed so it will grow into a tree. 235 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:15,000 It's in the ground and what does it do? Does it just grow straight up into a tree? 236 00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:26,000 No, everyone knows that the seed starts by spreading its roots and then it doesn't go up until the roots are spread sufficiently and then it will go up. 237 00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:38,000 So in order for a tree to form and grow it must go down deep into the earth in order to go up out into the sky. 238 00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:48,000 Alright, so now I want you guys to imagine, that's the law of attraction or that's the law of advancement. 239 00:29:48,000 --> 00:30:05,000 So now I'm switching phases, switching gears. I want you guys to imagine two eagles flying in the sky and their husband and wife and the wife is like, hey honey, I'm pregnant. 240 00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:09,000 So the husband is like, oh that's awesome, let's go build a nest. 241 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:13,000 And so they fly over to the tree and they build a nest. 242 00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:20,000 And on top of that tree in their nest the mother gives birth, the four eagles. 243 00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,000 Four baby eagles. 244 00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:44,000 And so every day once the eagles are hatched the mother flies back and forth from the forest to the nest and brings food to the babies. 245 00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:53,000 Excuse me. And every single day when the babies receive their food they're amazed and mesmerized by their mother flying. 246 00:30:53,000 --> 00:31:01,000 Because at this point in their life, at this stage of their life, they can barely even walk, much less fly. 247 00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:08,000 So they really want to learn how to fly. Their desire to fly is immense. 248 00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:16,000 So the babies are always like, hey mom, can you teach us how to fly? Can we learn how to fly? 249 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,000 And so the mom's like, no, not today. 250 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:30,000 And then after 14 days of them asking the mom how to fly, on the 14th day she's like, they're like, hey mom, can you teach us how to fly? When are we going to learn how to fly? 251 00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:35,000 And she's like, no, not today, but tomorrow's your first lesson. 252 00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:46,000 So they all get super excited and none of them can fall asleep because they're so excited for the next day, for their first flight lessons. 253 00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:53,000 And so the next day rolls around, they're all super excited and they all fight over who gets to go first. 254 00:31:53,000 --> 00:32:04,000 Their mom flies in and then the first person comes and they get that first baby eagle gets on the mother's back for the first lesson. 255 00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:10,000 So the mom starts flying and then the baby goes, mom fly higher, higher, higher. 256 00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:15,000 So the mom flies higher and higher and higher and then higher, higher, higher. 257 00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:29,000 She keeps flying higher and higher until suddenly she turns around and drops the eagle out of her wings and gets the eagle off of her wings. 258 00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:37,000 So at this point, the mom just kicked the baby eagle off of her back and the baby eagle is falling to his death. 259 00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:43,000 And he's screaming, he's like, mom, help, I'm going to die, I'm hitting the floor, I'm going to hit the floor. 260 00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:51,000 And so he gets so, he goes, falls all the way down through the trees, all the way down. 261 00:32:51,000 --> 00:33:02,000 And then right before he gets onto the ground and makes impact, the mother swoops in and saves him. 262 00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:07,000 And so the baby is like, why would you do this to me? Why? I could have died. 263 00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:10,000 I'm taking me back to the nest. 264 00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:12,000 So that was the end of the first lesson. 265 00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:22,000 And that, that baby warned all the other eaglets and told them how the mother is a psychopath and she's going to kill them all. 266 00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:31,000 And so the all four baby eaglets had a similar first lesson, similar experience for their first lesson. 267 00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:41,000 So they all go to bed and the next day comes around and they're all planning a mutiny because they do not want to be in relation 268 00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:45,000 with their mother who just almost killed them. 269 00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:56,000 And when the next day rolls around and they, the mother comes to the nest and it's time for the second day's lessons. 270 00:33:56,000 --> 00:34:03,000 They're all like refusing, they're all refusing to get on the mother's back because of what happened yesterday. 271 00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:14,000 So after a little back and forth, the mother demanded and they were forced to do their second day's lessons. 272 00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:18,000 So on day two of the lessons, same thing happened. 273 00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:25,000 The mother flew higher, higher, higher, higher all the way up and then dropped the baby, 274 00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:34,000 dropped all the way down, falling, falling, falling, the baby screaming, crying, crying out of his lungs, extremely scared. 275 00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:36,000 Imagine what you, how do you feel? 276 00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:42,000 Do you know, have you ever ridden a roller coaster and you are doing the drop and you get that stomach? 277 00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:46,000 You get that feeling in the drop, from the drop in your stomach. 278 00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:59,000 Imagine what that baby is feeling, extremely, maybe light headed, maybe just feels like he's out of this world because he's just falling to his death. 279 00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:07,000 So then, right before he hits the ground, again, the mother swoops up, takes him back to the nest, 280 00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:10,000 and then all four of them have that same experience again. 281 00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:16,000 So that same thing happens for 20 more days. 282 00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:30,000 And then on day 21, when it's time for the lessons, the first person gets up and it's time to ride on the mother's back and go super high into the sky and fall. 283 00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:40,000 So the mother flies high, super high, high, high, and then drops the first baby. 284 00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:44,000 And then something strange happens. 285 00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:51,000 The wind catches the baby's eagles' wings just right to where the baby starts gliding. 286 00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:54,000 And so the baby realized that he can actually fly now. 287 00:35:54,000 --> 00:36:00,000 So he started flying, and then he was able to fly back to the nest on its own. 288 00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:09,000 And this happened so he came back to the nest and told all of his brothers and sisters, like, guys, I just flew. I can fly now. 289 00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:16,000 So they're all super excited, and they all get their lessons, and they all learn how to fly. 290 00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:30,000 Now, I just want you guys to see that the eagles didn't learn how to fly by going straight up into the air and just going up. 291 00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:34,000 They didn't learn how to fly just going up. 292 00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:47,000 But in reality, they had to fall down, so I want you guys to imagine what a U, the letter U, looks like. It goes down and then halfway through it comes back up. 293 00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:51,000 So that's how the eagles had to learn how to fly. 294 00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:58,000 They fell down and then halfway through they had to fall down first and then come back up. 295 00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:03,000 So that's the law of advancement. They go down and then they go back up. 296 00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:10,000 And you guys might recognize that symbol, and that's the learning curve. That's what it's called. 297 00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:21,000 And it just shows that you have to fall and feel the discomfort before you can actually grow and start flying again. 298 00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:29,000 And the eagles didn't like it, but 100% of them succeed in learning how to fly every single eagle. 299 00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:38,000 Now, how many humans do you think learn how to fly? This is metaphorically speaking. 300 00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:46,000 How many humans actually achieve their goal and become great like eagles do? 301 00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:49,000 Well, only 3%. 302 00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:59,000 So why do eagles have 100% success rate and humans only have 3% success rate? 303 00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:05,000 Well, that's because they have choice. Humans have the choice to be whatever they want. 304 00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:18,000 They can choose to be great and learn how to fly, or they can choose to not and stay in the nest and give up after one, two, three days of training. 305 00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:32,000 Because they don't like the uncomfortable feeling, even though that feeling is a lot safer and a lot less unpleasant than falling to your death like an eagle does. 306 00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:45,000 So how is it that an eagle feels a lot more discomfort from learning how to fly and a lot more fear, a lot more real, tangible feelings? 307 00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:49,000 Like the eagle has literally fallen to their death in real life. 308 00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:52,000 Like if the mother didn't save him, he would have died. 309 00:38:52,000 --> 00:39:03,000 So how is it that 100% of the eagles go through with learning how to fly, but only 3% of humans can get through that discomfort? 310 00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:11,000 Well, it's because humans have choice. They get to choose their outcomes in life. They get to choose what they become. 311 00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:16,000 So I want you guys to think about the tree again. So we're going back to the tree. 312 00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:29,000 That tree does not choose. That sapling does not choose to become... it can't choose to become an amazing house. 313 00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:34,000 It has to grow into a tree. That's its only choice. 314 00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:40,000 Now that tree can be turned into many different things, but once again that tree does not have the choice. 315 00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:47,000 That tree can turn into toothpicks, wooden toothpicks, absolutely worthless. 316 00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:56,000 It can turn into wooden planks, worthless, but worth a little bit more than toothpicks. 317 00:39:56,000 --> 00:40:05,000 It can turn into a wooden chair, average, not that great. It's 20 bucks maybe. 318 00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:11,000 Or it can turn into a nice wooden desk. 319 00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:17,000 Okay, we're getting a little better. That's like 100 bucks maybe. 320 00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:27,000 Or it can turn into a grand conference hall, circular desk, where a million dollar deals are made in a business. 321 00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:38,000 Okay, that's a very valuable desk. But then I want you guys to think about a six million dollar cello. 322 00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:42,000 I don't know the actual price. 60 million dollars doesn't matter. 323 00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:54,000 60 million dollar cello that is made of wood and was sold at auction for 60 mil because it was played by the world's greatest musician. 324 00:40:54,000 --> 00:41:00,000 And it's the world's finest cello. Now that is great. 325 00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:09,000 So that tree can either turn into a worthless toothpick, worth less than a penny. 326 00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:20,000 Or it can turn into a priceless 60 million dollar cello, which people will pay millions for. 327 00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:27,000 And it provided an extreme value towards that one musician who is the most popular in the world, 328 00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:38,000 and all of its listeners who heard that musician play, and the next people who get to go and see it in the museums. 329 00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:47,000 So that tree did not get a choice to turn into a toothpick, but it also didn't get a choice to turn into a cello. 330 00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:52,000 And that's what separates trees and eagles from humans. 331 00:41:52,000 --> 00:42:01,000 They don't get to choose greatness or worthlessness, but we get to choose greatness and worthlessness. 332 00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:05,000 And that is extremely empowering to think about. 333 00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:16,000 Are you going to choose to be a toothpick, or are you going to choose to be the world's greatest cello that is sold for 60 mil at the auction? 334 00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:20,000 And it's really all up to that. It's all up to choice. 335 00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:32,000 Do you want to be mediocre and live life like everyone else, and be average, or do you want to live life amazing? 336 00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:38,000 And if you live life amazing, then life will be amazing. 337 00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:41,000 And that's really up to choice. 338 00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:46,000 So that's the Eagles story. 339 00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:51,000 And I feel as though I'm getting better at telling it. 340 00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:54,000 And I want to give credit where credit is due. 341 00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:56,000 I didn't make up that story. 342 00:42:56,000 --> 00:43:06,000 I actually pretty much copied it completely from an amazing speaker named Myron Golden. 343 00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:13,000 And I've only heard him speak once in the Your First Funnel Challenge. 344 00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:18,000 Russell Brunson's at ClickFunnels, Your First Funnel Challenge. 345 00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:20,000 I only heard him speak once there. 346 00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:29,000 And he told that story of the Law of Advancement and the Eagles story and the cello and toothpick, all that stuff. 347 00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:31,000 He told that story. 348 00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:37,000 And the story really clicked with me. And it really pushed me through a lot of things. 349 00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:39,000 And I actually wrote it out on my desk. 350 00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:46,000 I drew out the entire story on the desk with pictures and stuff like that. 351 00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:49,000 Pretty much how he drew it. 352 00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:51,000 And I memorized the story. 353 00:43:51,000 --> 00:44:00,000 And every time I experienced something uncomfortable and I feel like I want to give up or stop and not push through. 354 00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:04,000 I always try and remember the Eagles. 355 00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:09,000 So that's why at the end of every single podcast on the outro, I always say, 356 00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:17,000 and remember, wait, and make sure to remember the Eagles. 357 00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:20,000 Yeah, and that's why I always say that. 358 00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:27,000 Because it's extremely, it's an extremely impactful story on my life. 359 00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:31,000 And I'm very grateful that I heard it from Myron Golden speaking it. 360 00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:36,000 So if you guys ever have the opportunity to hear him speak, definitely recommend it. 361 00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:42,000 And now I didn't look at the entire list of speakers during ClickFunnels, 362 00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:49,000 but I hope that Myron Golden is one of them because he is awesome. 363 00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:51,000 I'll be right back. I have to use the back. 364 00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:55,000 Oh, yeah, I'm back. Sorry for that interruption. 365 00:44:55,000 --> 00:45:05,000 I try not to be interrupted in the middle of my podcast because I like to get it all the way through one cut unedited. 366 00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:09,000 But I had to use the bathroom really bad and I always try and go to the bathroom beforehand, 367 00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:15,000 but I'd been drinking a lot of water lately and I actually recommend it a lot. 368 00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:23,000 I bought a Super Sparrow water bottle and it's metal and it keeps the water cold. 369 00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:33,000 And I originally bought it because I was cutting out plastic and I used to use a Gatorade bottle, a plastic one. 370 00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:40,000 And so I got an all metal Super Sparrow recommended by Hamza. 371 00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:46,000 And that was like my first metal aluminum water bottle and it's amazing. 372 00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:48,000 I actually recommend it so much. 373 00:45:48,000 --> 00:46:02,000 So I always fill that up and just drink it throughout the day. Just drink as much as I can. 374 00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:06,000 So I want to talk to you guys about school. 375 00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:16,000 There is one moment this morning where I'm very grateful that I've been studying Transurfing 376 00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:19,000 because last year that would have gotten to me. 377 00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:27,000 It would have affected me and I would have tried to argue against it with my parents or something like that 378 00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:31,000 and just waste a lot of energy around it. 379 00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:38,000 And I actually forgot about it until just now when I'm trying to figure out something to talk about. 380 00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:48,000 And this morning in my humanities class we were talking about beauty and intelligence. 381 00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:53,000 And I live in a very liberal town, very progressive. 382 00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:59,000 So a lot of people have very vocal opinions. 383 00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:05,000 And my school basically teaches all that stuff. 384 00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:15,000 And so in humanities we're talking about intelligence and morality and beauty 385 00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:20,000 and if there's a link, like a correlation between all that stuff. 386 00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:31,000 And my teacher was talking about how she wasn't doing anything. 387 00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:39,000 No one was doing anything bad. It's just some of the stuff I would have always just let get to my head 388 00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:44,000 and I would have started complaining about it and talking about it with my parents or something. 389 00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:46,000 Just wasting a lot of energy. 390 00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:55,000 And what my teacher said was that back in the day men always had to be stoic and that was their role. 391 00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:58,000 Be stoic and not have any emotion. 392 00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:04,000 And right when she said that I was being stoic. 393 00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:13,000 I mean I'm usually always stoic during the class, during class time, like during school. 394 00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:25,000 But it was just she was saying that and then she was also saying men also had to be buff and be very strong and handsome. 395 00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:31,000 And so I was being stoic and I also lift a lot of weights. 396 00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:34,000 So I like to think that I am buff. 397 00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:44,000 And so she was saying that and then I was also making eye contact with her and I was being stoic the whole time. 398 00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:52,000 And so last year I would have just gotten self-conscious and then extremely overthinking it and all that. 399 00:48:52,000 --> 00:49:04,000 But this year, this morning when that happened, I got self-conscious but then I caught myself and then I literally just started being extremely mindful and just meditating with my eyes open. 400 00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:06,000 And then I tried to look for something to stare at. 401 00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:15,000 So I saw my friend who was also experiencing something similar during that class period because we were in the same class. 402 00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:20,000 And so I saw my friend and we just started staring at each other being extremely stoic. 403 00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:22,000 And it was really funny. 404 00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:28,000 And then at the end, my friend was like, when we were leaving the class, he was like, that was a Psyop. 405 00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:30,000 And I didn't know what a Psyop was. 406 00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:31,000 So I was like, what is that? 407 00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:38,000 He was like, it was like a social operation or a scientific operation. 408 00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:39,000 I don't even know. 409 00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:42,000 Some operation to change our minds. 410 00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:52,000 And so he basically, I inferred that he was basically saying that they were trying to mold our minds to how they want. 411 00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:54,000 And then I was just like, yeah, it's whatever. 412 00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:56,000 Just staying different to it. 413 00:49:56,000 --> 00:50:01,000 I wasted a lot of energy trying to argue and combat a lot of the stuff like that last year. 414 00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:09,000 And I was just, I just reminded him that it was a pendulum and it wasn't even worth investing our energy and just stay empty to it. 415 00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:16,000 And so he realized that we should just stay empty to it, stay indifferent. 416 00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:18,000 And I did too. 417 00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:20,000 And now we're both better off. 418 00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:26,000 And I think that neither me or him, I can't really speak for him, but he didn't bring it up again. 419 00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:32,000 So I don't think either of us remembered it throughout the day, which is huge. 420 00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:33,000 Just stay indifferent. 421 00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:34,000 Don't let it. 422 00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:37,000 Don't let the pendulum hook its claws into you. 423 00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:40,000 Just drop it the importance. 424 00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:46,000 And it was very interesting because a lot of my classmates were talking and voicing their opinions. 425 00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:48,000 And it was a lot. 426 00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:56,000 They're just like expressing their dissatisfaction about the social things, the social way of things. 427 00:50:56,000 --> 00:51:00,000 And I was just being indifferent to everything. 428 00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:11,000 Usually last year I would have just been tried to come up with arguments in my head and waste a lot of energy and it would just would have been feeding all my energy to the pendulum. 429 00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:19,000 But this year I literally just accepted everything the way it is and then stayed empty to it. 430 00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:21,000 Kept all my energy to myself. 431 00:51:21,000 --> 00:51:23,000 So that's huge. 432 00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:24,000 That's transurfing. 433 00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:33,000 That's what transurfing is all about, being free from the influence of pendulums. 434 00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:46,000 Let me get some water. 435 00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:50,000 So when I pause and always say let me get some water, I'm drinking water. 436 00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:52,000 And there's two reasons. 437 00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:59,000 One because speaking for an hour straight really dries up your mouth. 438 00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:04,000 And so water refreshes and rehydrates the mouth. 439 00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:07,000 But also you guys stay hydrated. 440 00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:10,000 So you guys see how often I'm literally drinking water. 441 00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:21,000 So you guys should try and replicate that and drink a lot of water because if you're trying to lift, if you're trying to get big and build an aesthetic physique. 442 00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:23,000 And build a nice body. 443 00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:25,000 And you're lifting in the gym. 444 00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:29,000 Well there are three crucial, very important things. 445 00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:34,000 Your diet, which is how much calories you're taking in, the quality of calories. 446 00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:36,000 So you want a lot of calories. 447 00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:41,000 And then how much food you're eating before your workout. 448 00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:46,000 Which I took for granted like for two years straight until literally last week. 449 00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:52,000 Where I would just eat one meal and go work out right away in the morning at like 6am. 450 00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:59,000 But it's so much better for you and your physique if you eat as many meals as possible before your workout. 451 00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:05,000 But not too late in the day so you can actually get sleep. 452 00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:08,000 And two is your sleep. 453 00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:11,000 So I get nine and a half hours every night. 454 00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:13,000 I used to get like ten. 455 00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:19,000 But I get nine and a half. I go to bed around, I'm in bed by 6.30. 456 00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:22,000 Like done meditating in bed, falling asleep. 457 00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:29,000 And since I've done a lot of, I do a lot of things right before bedtime. 458 00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:35,000 That I literally go to bed like within ten minutes, like five minutes. 459 00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:45,000 And then I wake up at four. So that's, I'm just gonna say eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, one, two, three, four. 460 00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:48,000 Yeah, so a little less than nine and a half hours. 461 00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:52,000 I get at least nine hours. 462 00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:56,000 And there's this saying that eight hours of sleep is all you need. 463 00:53:56,000 --> 00:54:00,000 No, you need more. That's your society telling you that. 464 00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:05,000 And if you listen to society, you end up like society. So don't do that. 465 00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:13,000 And if you listen to society, you're not gonna live how you want. 466 00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:18,000 So then the third thing is water. 467 00:54:18,000 --> 00:54:21,000 Water is so crucial. 468 00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:31,000 And I didn't really place too much emphasis and priority on my water until I got a metal water bottle. 469 00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:36,000 And then once I got that, I started drinking a lot and it's actually so much better. 470 00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:44,000 And I also started to place a little bit more emphasis and priority on it when I started taking creatine because I was dehydrated so much. 471 00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:54,000 And once I started taking creatine because you consume so much more water when you're on creatine. 472 00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:59,000 So yeah, that's what I recommend. 473 00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:08,000 There's some other stuff too, but those are like the big heavy hitters. 474 00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:12,000 I want to talk to you guys about my phone. 475 00:55:12,000 --> 00:55:16,000 So I haven't been bringing my phone to school. 476 00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:18,000 I haven't bring my phone to school at all this year. 477 00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:21,000 And it's one of the most freeing things ever. 478 00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:24,000 I don't even think about my phone. 479 00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:28,000 And in hindsight, I'm embarrassed that I used to be so attached to my phone. 480 00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:30,000 I felt like I couldn't leave without it. 481 00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:40,000 And so I'm building up to where I'm becoming so independent from my phone where I might try to go. 482 00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:44,000 Well, actually, yeah, my mindset with new things. 483 00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:51,000 So when we went to the school the Monday before the new school year to pick up our schedules, 484 00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:58,000 I was, my mind was trying to convince myself that I should bring my phone because I don't know what to expect. 485 00:55:58,000 --> 00:56:01,000 But I'm literally just using my phone as a fallback. 486 00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:03,000 I'm a man. 487 00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:05,000 I should be able to figure things out on my own. 488 00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:14,000 I don't need to be dependent on my phone to get through new situations that are uncomfortable. 489 00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:17,000 So I didn't bring my phone then. 490 00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:23,000 And then on the first day of school, my mind always tried to figure out ways to convince myself to bring my phone. 491 00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:28,000 Just because my mind is still trying to stay attached to it, trying to stay dependent. 492 00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:31,000 But then I was like, no, I don't need my phone. 493 00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:34,000 There's no reason I need my phone. 494 00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:40,000 So I didn't bring my phone and it was worth it because I never need my phone. 495 00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:44,000 Actually, there was a couple of times where I needed my phone. 496 00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:45,000 Excuse me. 497 00:56:45,000 --> 00:56:48,000 But it was just to join remind codes. 498 00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:51,000 And I don't care about another that I'm not even going to check. 499 00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:52,000 Oh, excuse me. 500 00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:54,000 I have the hiccups. 501 00:56:54,000 --> 00:56:55,000 I don't even care about another. 502 00:56:55,000 --> 00:56:57,000 I'm not even going to check my texts. 503 00:56:57,000 --> 00:56:59,000 So I'll figure things out. 504 00:56:59,000 --> 00:57:01,000 Oh my gosh. 505 00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:08,000 I'm not even going to check my texts throughout the day. 506 00:57:08,000 --> 00:57:21,000 So and it really helps you separate yourself from people you're trying to move away from. 507 00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:31,000 And that's one of the tips that I would suggest that I never saw online. 508 00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:42,000 If you are trying to follow the saying of you're the average of the five people you spend your most time with, 509 00:57:42,000 --> 00:58:01,000 then you're going to try and cut out your time spent with your less impactful friends, like your less, 510 00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:07,000 your friends that are not not pulling you up the people that are pulling you down, 511 00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:15,000 which I'm not going to get into my personal situation because I don't want anyone to hear it and feel bad. 512 00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:28,000 So I'm just trying to say that one of the best excuses to move away from people you're trying to move away from is to say you're cutting off the phone 513 00:58:28,000 --> 00:58:36,000 and literally just start cutting off your phone and then people will text you less and less until eventually they just stop talking to you, 514 00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:39,000 which is what I'm experiencing at the moment actually. 515 00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:50,000 And my plan is working and I did it on accident because I was trying to cut out my phone on my own just because I wanted the benefits. 516 00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:58,000 But in hindsight looking at it, it's actually helped me cut off a lot of people that I'm not trying to talk to or hang out with. 517 00:58:58,000 --> 00:59:02,000 And so as a result, I don't see them ever. 518 00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:13,000 And it just reminded me of the Transurfing principle, you experience what you let in your life, like you experience what you allow into your lifeline. 519 00:59:13,000 --> 00:59:21,000 And so I don't allow people into my lifeline that are going to influence me negatively. 520 00:59:21,000 --> 00:59:31,000 So that's what I experienced. No one in my lifeline that will influence me negatively. That's huge. 521 00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:39,000 And even just one week into the school year, I'm already so much more awake and vigilant in my day and I'm just doing a lot better. 522 00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:51,000 And it's just getting better and better every day. And then I'm really excited looking forward to the coming weeks and months. 523 00:59:51,000 --> 01:00:00,000 To wrap things up, don't forget to download your favorite episodes and subscribe to the Ascend Momentum show. 524 01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:06,000 But before you guys leave, make sure to remember the Eagles.
