1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,560 is this. How do young men like us who didn't listen to society, who are on our own, 2 00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:11,080 how do we grow and improve ourselves so that we can live a better tomorrow? 3 00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:16,400 That is the question and this show will give you the answers. 4 00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:19,000 My name is James Radzynski and 5 00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:23,080 welcome to the Ascend Momentum Show. 6 00:00:23,080 --> 00:00:34,560 Oh man, today was a great day and I'm sorry that I'm still on this poor audio 7 00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:40,400 quality. Last night the package was supposed to come, the adapter. I already 8 00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:47,640 have the microphone. My dad gave me a one of his really nice microphones that he 9 00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:55,200 uses for music and a stand. It's already set up right now for podcasting right 10 00:00:55,200 --> 00:01:04,960 next to me. But the adapter, the XLR to USB adapter that I ordered, was supposed 11 00:01:04,960 --> 00:01:11,520 to come yesterday but it didn't come yet and it's supposed to come today by two 12 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:16,360 minutes ago and it didn't come yet. So I just started recording because I have to, 13 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:23,520 I'm like cutting it close. I have to, right now it's 2.47 and I'll be done 14 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:33,640 recording at 3.47 and that gives me like 15 minutes to upload the video and then 15 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:38,680 at 4 o'clock is when I start studying expert secrets and then 5 o'clock is my 16 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:45,040 nighttime routine. So I could cut my study time a little, cut into it a little 17 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:50,680 bit but I prefer not to. So that's why I just started recording because I also 18 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:56,320 don't know when the package will come because they didn't say like X amount of 19 00:01:56,320 --> 00:02:01,280 stops away on Amazon. So it just says that it's been shipped. I don't know but 20 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:07,920 besides that today was an amazing day. I definitely felt like I shifted my 21 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:12,400 lifeline. My lifeline has shifted. Just things don't seem the same as they were 22 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:19,360 before. Everything is just so amazing and let me give you some, let me tell you why. 23 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:27,440 So today was the first day of school and I did my normal routine. I woke up at 4 24 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:37,760 did all my studying on trans surfing, all that stuff. I got a, so I got nine 25 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:44,240 squats on that medicine ball that I'm using to practice my bounce. I got nine 26 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,520 squats on that. That's my record but I didn't do that this morning. I did that 27 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:54,280 the other day but I'm trying to go for a new thing where I just walk on the 28 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:59,320 medicine ball like I stand on the medicine ball and walk it around. It's 29 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:05,560 really difficult. When I first tried it I could barely go like, I could go less 30 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:11,520 than a foot. I could probably go like two inches and then I fall. But now I can go 31 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:20,640 probably four feet. Like this morning I went four feet. That was my record and so 32 00:03:20,640 --> 00:03:29,360 right now I promise not to talk about my mom but I'm just gonna say my mom is out 33 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:36,120 of town right now and when she gets back my goal is she'll be back in like one 34 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:46,160 week and my goal is to have a, be able to walk all the way from one end of the 35 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:52,240 hallway to the other end of the hallway which is like 20 to 30 feet maybe. So 36 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:56,680 that's my goal to be able to do that by the time she gets home and I'll show her 37 00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:05,640 and that'll be awesome. So now let me, let me talk about what happened today. Today 38 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:12,200 was the first day of school and I went in early and it was it was perfect 39 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:17,480 because I didn't bring my phone because I'm not bringing my phone to school and 40 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:22,440 so I didn't plan for this to happen but right when I was leaving my house my 41 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:26,960 friend Franklin was biking right by so we ended up biking to school together 42 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:32,360 and we both went early because we were both going to our counselor early in the 43 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:41,240 morning before school. So we got there and the counselor didn't show up until 44 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:46,080 after I left because I had to go to my first period because my first period was 45 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:51,240 a class that I was planning on taking so I went to my first period but my friend 46 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:58,320 stayed and waited for the counselor and he rearranged his schedule. He didn't 47 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:04,560 really have as good success as I did but he's going again tomorrow but I went to 48 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:08,480 first period and my friend got in the same class of my first period which is 49 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:15,460 awesome. Then I went to the counselor during second period and rearranged my 50 00:05:15,460 --> 00:05:21,160 entire schedule and let me tell you this I went to the counselor and I was like 51 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:25,480 we were talking talking talking she did not at first she was like no no no no 52 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:32,040 but then I was like yes yes yes yes but I was saying that I wanted to drop all 53 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:38,320 my classes and only take the required classes and graduate early and have like 54 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:44,440 no and just get out like before 12. I wanted to get out at like fourth period 55 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:51,480 and then she said that I needed one more elective or one more credit to be able 56 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:59,320 to graduate so I had to add in one more class so but we didn't realize that so 57 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:06,680 then I was like well is there any way to make this work where I take the bare 58 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:15,200 minimum and she was like no I can't make it work for you and then I was like well 59 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:21,720 who can I contact to make it work and she was like the state of Illinois just 60 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:28,640 like jokingly to try and get me off the case and so I was like alright so can I 61 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:33,800 have their contact information and she was like no this is going way too far 62 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:39,280 this is crazy and then so she grabbed she told me and then she grabbed another 63 00:06:39,280 --> 00:06:44,560 one of the counselors so me and two counselors walked all the way like 64 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:50,400 across the office all the way across like the building to their supervisor so 65 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:54,200 we all we all had to go to the supervisor and so I was just like in the 66 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:58,440 room with two counselors and their supervisor and we were just talking about 67 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:02,360 it and then we came to the conclusion that I was to become a part-time 68 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:09,320 student and they were being very supportive I mean they wanted me to take 69 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:15,840 like math and stuff I was like no I'm not doing that and so they let me become 70 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:23,040 a part-time student which is awesome I'm so I'm so happy so we went back to the 71 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:33,480 office her office my counselor's office and we figured out the schedule so first 72 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:39,320 period I have humanities which I went in and then later in that period my friend 73 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:47,520 came in so that was awesome we're in the same class and that class I'm actually 74 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:55,120 really excited for because just the way she speaks I feel like I could get a lot 75 00:07:55,120 --> 00:08:02,240 of benefit from it but also she mentioned a book that we're reading 76 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:08,480 called Siddhartha or it's like about Siddhartha who is like the Buddha and so 77 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:15,840 I'm really excited to read that and there's one more key thing that is a 78 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:22,040 reason why this class is so awesome she said that this was her favorite class to 79 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:27,320 teach and she like this is her favorite class ever so that is awesome it's the 80 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:33,080 best when you have a passionate teacher on the subject so that class was awesome 81 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:41,360 then I go to second period is my gym class I skipped it today because I had 82 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:47,560 to I wanted to go to the counselor to fix all my stuff and I'm in co-ed team 83 00:08:47,560 --> 00:08:52,760 sports which will be fun but I'm trying to get into adventure ed which is a 84 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:58,280 class that I took last year all year and it's basically where it's a gym class 85 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:02,560 where you do a bunch of awesome stuff like you kayak in the pool but you 86 00:09:02,560 --> 00:09:09,280 literally kayak in the pool and then you rock climb they have a ropes course at 87 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:17,640 the school you climb the ropes course it's awesome that class is awesome but 88 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:28,040 then we I just realized that last year we were supposed to do a biking unit and 89 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:35,960 we didn't all right that's besides the point I'll have to ask that teacher about that but 90 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:42,800 then my third period is one of the classes that I had to add to get another 91 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:48,120 credit so it's not a required class but it's just another credit and it was the 92 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:53,560 one of the classes I was gonna take until I wanted to graduate early and 93 00:09:53,560 --> 00:09:59,920 drop all my classes and it's business incubator and it's basically where you 94 00:09:59,920 --> 00:10:06,160 group up with a group of four to five people and you just make a business in 95 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:12,640 class so that'll be awesome and there's another special thing about that class 96 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:20,200 that teacher is extremely passionate about the topic and what he does so that 97 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:25,480 is it like I said in my first period if you have a passionate teacher that is 98 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:31,400 awesome and usually I only have like one or two passionate teachers so far I have 99 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:36,640 first and second period or not second period first and third period and I'll 100 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:40,000 get to fourth period which is another passionate teacher but I'll get to that 101 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:49,800 in a second so my third period is business incubator and I by the way in 102 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:54,920 all my classes like my first and my third period class and my fourth period 103 00:10:54,920 --> 00:11:00,720 class I talked to them all about how I don't bring my phone to school so and 104 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:04,880 they were chill about it so I didn't bring my school my phone to school and I 105 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:18,560 will not at all and that that class business incubator is me really fun I 106 00:11:18,560 --> 00:11:24,280 feel like I feel like I could add a lot to the table because just looking at the 107 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:30,760 winner the winning team of last year I could definitely beat them and if they 108 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:37,440 won a similar style team will win this year I will definitely beat them I'm 109 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:46,960 gonna I'm gonna my team is gonna win first place okay and also there's one 110 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:51,040 thing that he said today that really stuck with me he said one of his 111 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:58,080 passions one of his goals is to have a student of his go on and become a 112 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:04,600 millionaire now I'm not sure if anyone actually has done that yet that he's 113 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:13,440 taught but I will be the first if not the next I will be one of the one of his 114 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:18,920 students that goes on to become a millionaire and fulfill his dream I mean 115 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:25,200 I'm doing it for myself but that's another piece to puzzle he'll help me 116 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:32,640 on my path and I'll become a millionaire and I foresee that help contact me in 117 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:37,200 the future and ask me to come talk to his class and I really want to do that 118 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:42,160 that'd be awesome in like five years time or two years time come back and 119 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:49,440 talk to a class about business that'd be so awesome I'm really looking forward to 120 00:12:49,440 --> 00:13:00,720 the future now that period is awesome now let me tell you about fourth period 121 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:07,240 when I walked into that class that that class is my English class it's sports 122 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:12,080 literature that's what it's called and that's my other English class that I 123 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:16,400 have to take for a required class when I walked in I was like no way this is real 124 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:24,760 that class was bumping literally all of the varsity athletes like all like half 125 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:30,960 the soccer team a bunch of football players like that class was full of like 126 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:36,320 my friends and a bunch of people that knew and like all the athletes so that 127 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:44,040 class was awesome and that's probably my least favorite class just because we have 128 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:51,400 to watch we're gonna have to watch movies but that's okay I prefer not to 129 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:55,240 watch a movie I prefer just to read a book which is crazy because last year at 130 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:59,680 this time I would have absolutely preferred a movie over a book but it's 131 00:13:59,680 --> 00:14:05,600 okay still gonna be awesome really happy about that class and that teacher is 132 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:09,440 really passionate about the subject so all of my teachers are passionate about 133 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:14,600 the subject and if I get into adventure ed with mr. I'm not gonna say his name 134 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:22,280 but if I get into adventure ed with my teacher that I had last year that he is 135 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:27,440 also very passionate about that class and I love him too he's like one of the 136 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:35,560 best gym teachers I've ever had so that is awesome and I I talked to my counselor 137 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:39,840 about getting in that class and she said that I should come check in with her 138 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:45,960 like every single day this week to try and get into that class 139 00:14:52,880 --> 00:15:01,640 so let me tell you this okay I was just gonna look up the my schedule like the 140 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:05,680 bell schedule at my school but I remembered the promise I told you guys 141 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:10,240 I was gonna stay focused and not use my computer so I will not look that up but 142 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:18,400 I think it's probably like 1130 maybe around 1130 is when I get out of school 143 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:22,920 because I have first period second period third period and fourth period and 144 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:31,840 then fifth period is lunch and then sixth seventh eighth are all dismissals and 145 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:36,600 when she was explaining it to me she said that it's already sketchy to do two 146 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:43,200 dismissals two early dismissals much so she already had to go through a bunch of 147 00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:49,080 loops and get a bunch of confirmation to get two early dismissals and I was 148 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:55,000 asking for three I was actually asking for four but what I got was three and 149 00:15:55,000 --> 00:16:03,080 I'm happy with what happened and so that 150 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:09,640 man that I'm so happy I had I just have first through fourth period and then 151 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:13,680 fifth period is lunch but I don't have to go to lunch because they don't take 152 00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:17,520 attendance like why would they take attendance at lunch and so I literally 153 00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:24,360 just leave so I don't have to eat lunch at the school anymore which was cry like 154 00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:30,160 last year I remember lunch was like so boring while I was eating it because my 155 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:37,800 entire lunch table was just on their phones the whole time and I mean that's 156 00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:45,720 just most that's just everyone everyone's on their phones but it's okay now I 157 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:49,280 don't have to go to lunch and I'm very happy about that I'm very grateful I 158 00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:52,520 don't have to go to lunch 159 00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:06,240 if any of my friends are listening to this episode and just heard me say that 160 00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:13,880 I still enjoyed lunch but I'm just saying I prefer to eat lunch at home I'm 161 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:21,240 like an introvert I'm an introvert so prefer to be alone you know or I prefer 162 00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:26,600 to recharge alone that's what lunch is all right off that subject don't feel 163 00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:35,120 guilt guilt tears you up inside so once I am done with fourth period I just go I 164 00:17:35,120 --> 00:17:41,960 leave like today I was going to the main entrance to leave and the security guard 165 00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:46,440 was like where you headed where you going and I was like I'm leaving and she 166 00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:50,880 was like no you have to go through the attendance office I was like I'm a 167 00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:56,520 part-time student I don't have any classes so I'm just like off for the day 168 00:17:56,520 --> 00:18:02,400 and she like reluctantly after like a minute of a little back and forth she 169 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:07,640 was like all right just head out I don't want to see you back again because she 170 00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:12,080 didn't she didn't want me to be like lying and just using that as an excuse 171 00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:19,320 to like leave during lunch and she looked at my skip my ID which has my 172 00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:25,040 lunch period on it and I got that ID before I changed my schedule so on my ID 173 00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:32,580 my lunch period is period six but I my new lunch period is fit and I was 174 00:18:32,580 --> 00:18:38,000 leaving at fifth period today so she probably thought that I was lying but 175 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:46,640 so whatever doesn't matter so now I just leave doing that so great I'm so happy 176 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:52,680 I'll have to figure out where my last class is like the door that my last 177 00:18:52,680 --> 00:19:00,800 class is closest to because then I'll then I'll put my bike there tomorrow or 178 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:05,600 the next day or whenever I figure it out I'll park my bike there so I don't have 179 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:10,800 to go through the main entrance and so I can just get out quicker because it 180 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:17,640 takes like two or three minutes to walk across that whole building so then once 181 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:25,480 I'm once I leave I just go straight home and cook my lunch which is four ground 182 00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:33,840 beef and one like with sauerkraut on it for or it's like one and a third pounds 183 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:40,400 of ground beef with sauerkraut and then eggshells I eat like two more eggshells 184 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:50,640 and then I eat some fruit whatever is available like grapes blueberries melon 185 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:59,400 banana whatever is available and then I have my two chicken breasts after that 186 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:05,160 and so once I'm done eating that today it was one o'clock it was around like 105 187 00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:09,840 when I was done but I'm trying to cut I'm trying to cut that down quicker and 188 00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:18,680 get it more efficient and be done like by like 1250 and so then once I'm done 189 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:24,280 with that I go straight to the gym my bag is already packed I packed both my 190 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:31,240 bags the night before and then I go straight to the gym which the gym is so 191 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:41,440 the way my town is my house is let's here imagine a a graph like a no imagine 192 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:48,040 a graph that you would see in math with the X and Y axis so let's put my house 193 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:58,720 at the at zero zero like the bottom so then the school would be at like two one 194 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:03,760 or something like that the school is like one and one and a half miles away 195 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:11,960 from my house top right so I'm go to the top right and one and a half miles and 196 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:18,000 then it's the school but then directly north of my school all right so my 197 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:25,880 the these aren't the actual directions of real life I'm just having these 198 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:33,400 directions relative onto that the graph so on the graph from my house if my 199 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:40,360 house is the origin of the graph which is zero zero northeast one and a half 200 00:21:40,360 --> 00:21:51,600 miles is a school about and then north half a mile is from north half a mile 201 00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:57,280 from the school is the gym so basically right right now what I'm doing is I'm 202 00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:01,400 biking all the way home one and a half miles which is the opposite direction of 203 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:07,760 the gym and then cooking eating and then biking all the way back to school all 204 00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:14,520 the way to the gym which is two miles so I'm kind of wasting a lot of time on the 205 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:19,800 commutes but I think it's for now I'm gonna do it until I come up with a 206 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:26,440 better solution because I was thinking about packing my lunch but I just I'd 207 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:33,120 rather cook my lunch it's so much better to cook so yeah I cook lunch and then go 208 00:22:33,120 --> 00:22:41,120 to the gym and man coming from someone who has been going to the gym for two 209 00:22:41,120 --> 00:22:51,240 years at like six in the morning before school for like two years in a row I was 210 00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:55,840 missing out and I were I don't regret it because that I probably wouldn't have 211 00:22:55,840 --> 00:23:00,480 been consistent because I had to go to school so the reason why I originally 212 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:06,880 went to the gym before school instead of after was because I had way more energy 213 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:12,960 before school to work out so my lifts would have been better because by the 214 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:16,320 time I was done with school I was super tired low energy because it was like 215 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:23,880 330 in the afternoon after like eight hours of school that's tiring but now 216 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:34,680 that I have a half-day schedule I'm a part-time student I I'm going now that I 217 00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:38,520 switched like yesterday was my first and I talked about that this in my last 218 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:48,920 podcast yesterday was my first episode or my first gym session being like fully 219 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:54,360 fed so I always go to the gym first thing in the morning after my breakfast 220 00:23:54,360 --> 00:24:00,480 so I only have eaten one meal and drink however much water I drink in the 221 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:07,840 morning which is like just one glass full but yesterday I went after having 222 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:17,560 three meals and having hydrated all day long and that is a game-changer yesterday 223 00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:24,000 was the best leg day I have ever hit and today was the best pull day which is 224 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:29,800 back and buys that I've ever hit and tomorrow is chest day pull a push day 225 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:35,680 chest triceps shoulders which I predict will be the best push day I've ever hit 226 00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:44,240 also and it's all because I'm it makes a huge difference my lifts have gone up so 227 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:50,760 before maybe I could do ten pull-ups with maybe like nine or ten pull-ups I 228 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:57,040 think it was nine actually but let's just say nine or ten pull-ups with ten 229 00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:03,440 pounds um like I that my gym has a belt where I can where I can like wrap around 230 00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:10,560 I can basically carry like ten extra however much extra pounds I want while 231 00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:16,480 I'm doing like pull-ups and stuff and so I usually in the mornings I'm able to do 232 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:25,080 ten pounds for like nine or ten reps but now since I'm bulking again I'm doing 233 00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:32,440 heavier weight I have to do heavier weights and lower reps in the first half 234 00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:38,360 of my workouts I went in depth on this yesterday's episode but now that I'm 235 00:25:38,360 --> 00:25:44,120 bulking I'm doing heavier and I'm doing it in the afternoon so I'll have more 236 00:25:44,120 --> 00:25:52,160 energy and I'll have been fed more more calories in me in the day I am doing 237 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:57,400 low reps high weight in the first half and then like super setting the second 238 00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:09,360 half with aesthetic aesthetic reps with H12 and I will say it felt good I did 20 239 00:26:09,360 --> 00:26:16,560 pounds 20 extra pounds so I was thinking all right I'll do like I'll just do my 240 00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:21,840 normal 10 pounds for the pull-ups but then I was like no I'm doing it in the 241 00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:27,960 afternoon having more energy and also I'm bulking now so I have to start 242 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:35,880 lifting heavy quit being a wuss and so I picked up two ten pound plates put them 243 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:43,480 on my belt so now I weighed like since I just had eaten lunch I probably weighed 244 00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:54,320 like 200 pounds I bet maybe maybe 195 I usually weigh like 170 175 so I was 245 00:26:54,320 --> 00:27:01,160 probably weighing like 195 to 200 pounds and I thought that I was only 246 00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:07,240 gonna be able to do like five pull-ups I did seven and they were like slow also 247 00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:15,480 on the descent so that's huge so maybe I should even add a little bit more next 248 00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:24,120 week I don't know we'll see and then I did like the rest of my workout the 249 00:27:24,120 --> 00:27:32,360 second half hit where I did dumbbell curls and I did like super setting and 250 00:27:32,360 --> 00:27:39,800 stuff like that and then once I got up to the locker room again to shower man I 251 00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:46,080 was like I didn't notice it until after I'd left the gym but my pump was 252 00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:54,280 absolutely insane today I when I left the gym it was super sunny out and I 253 00:27:54,280 --> 00:28:00,640 looked at my biceps and my vein was popping so much it was the furthest it 254 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:06,560 was ever popping so that was awesome that's pump I've ever had and I was only 255 00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:09,840 in there for like 40 minutes 256 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:23,080 and plus since I'm a part-time student now I'm going during the school day so 257 00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:28,520 no one else like no one else is gonna be there it's like very not crowded but 258 00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:39,320 it's there's enough people there to where I'm like working hard and I'm not 259 00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:45,320 just alone whereas when I was at when I would go to the gym at like 6 a.m. and 260 00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:50,880 on the weekends it was like absolutely empty and I was just lifting all of them 261 00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:55,760 which I was still putting in the work but it's different when there's people 262 00:28:55,760 --> 00:29:00,480 around you they don't know especially 263 00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:09,760 but when I came home from the gym I was like smiling the whole way home because 264 00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:17,280 it just felt different I it like felt like a Florida vibe and I was biking home 265 00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:25,720 it was nice warm sunny a little humid and I just felt like my lifeline was 266 00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:34,360 switching I'm getting closer to my goals and I'm just like so happy my mom asked 267 00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:41,560 me how I was doing like how was my first day and I was like so happy I was like 268 00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:48,320 everything's awesome no I shoot I never 269 00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:59,360 yeah but I'm excited hopefully tomorrow the podcast hopefully tomorrow I'll be 270 00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:07,440 able to set up the microphone I already have a podcast software podcastle I'm 271 00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:13,720 pretty sure it's not like the thing that most people use it's just like the first 272 00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:19,080 thing that popped up when I searched for it and it works and I that's what I used 273 00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:27,360 to edit all of my stuff it works and I paid like $250 for a whole year of it so 274 00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:34,840 I might as well use it but I want to tell you guys I literally have like $90 in my 275 00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:41,880 bank account I think like $80 now because I bought the adapter so I am 276 00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:50,400 like running short but I predict that soon since since the money is an 277 00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:56,040 attribute to the path towards your goal I predict soon money will come towards me 278 00:30:56,040 --> 00:31:01,640 as I get closer and closer to my goal honestly I'm I'm gonna try and do an 279 00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:07,500 experiment and this is trans surfing by the way in trans surfing they said he 280 00:31:07,500 --> 00:31:12,840 said don't worry about the money don't focus on the money focus on the goal the 281 00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:17,960 money is an attribute to the goal and when you create that your path to your 282 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:26,880 goal money comes along while you create your path to the goal so as I'm creating 283 00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:47,640 my path to my goals money will come to me and then yeah so in real time when 284 00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:57,760 I'm recording this it's Tuesday and I'll have been on the in the top 1% of 285 00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:07,320 podcasters in in for two days now so if you look up I've been talking about this 286 00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:15,120 a lot in the past couple episodes but if you look up how many podcasts make it 287 00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:26,400 past episode 21 1% literally only 1% of podcasts make it past episode 21 and so 288 00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:34,100 right now in real time for me at my episode my 22nd episode just published 289 00:32:34,100 --> 00:32:40,560 like this morning at 12 a.m. that was my worst episode yet I'm pretty sure so 290 00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:45,560 don't listen to that and if you already listened to it I'm sorry that is a 291 00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:49,720 terrible episode I'm pretty sure it was 22 it was like the one that was labeled 292 00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:57,080 like everyone has bad days but by the time you guys are listening to this 293 00:32:57,080 --> 00:33:04,760 episode on its release day I'll have recorded like I'll be recording episode 294 00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:15,080 like 33 I think or 32 and by the time I make it to Florida for funnel hacking 295 00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:21,600 live I'll be on like episode 50 or 60 so that's like actually insane to think 296 00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:26,000 about I'm pretty sure by the time my birthday hits I'll be on like episode 297 00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:37,400 49 or something like that man and it's so satisfying every time I upload my 298 00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:42,500 video my app or download my episode because in I have them all in the same 299 00:33:42,500 --> 00:33:50,440 folder on my computer and it just looks so satisfying seeing them all in one 300 00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:55,080 area and I it was satisfying when I built it up and then once I got that 301 00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:59,880 scroll bar because it got too long to build a seat on one page it was even 302 00:33:59,880 --> 00:34:06,720 more satisfying now it's just super satisfying and also seeing my episode 15 303 00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:11,440 through the current on pod castle that AI it's really satisfying because I 304 00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:16,640 didn't start recording my episode I didn't start editing my episodes until 305 00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:24,040 episode 15 because I needed to figure out how to connect two clips into one 306 00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:34,000 file because if you guys if you guys have noticed for the past all of my 307 00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:42,160 episodes that have gone over one hour so the past 12 episodes my voice 308 00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:50,360 recorder like cuts out at one hour and then starts a new recording essentially 309 00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:55,520 and so that's why it like pauses for like one minute or one second where you 310 00:34:55,520 --> 00:35:00,960 guys just my voice just cuts out for it teleports to the next thing that you 311 00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:06,880 hear so sorry if you guys hear some if you guys miss out on some information 312 00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:12,040 hopefully this episode will be the last where that happens because I'll be 313 00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:15,960 having this microphone and this microphone is really nice too it looks 314 00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:31,200 really nice it's called sure shure s m 85 so my dad just gave it to me to borrow 315 00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:37,560 so I'll take it I mean I'm definitely use it and I was gonna buy my own but he 316 00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:47,240 told me that he'll let me borrow his so that's awesome now if you guys heard 317 00:35:47,240 --> 00:35:54,360 episode 21 I'm pretty sure you were I talked about how episode 14 there was 318 00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:59,080 like a shift in my life and then episode 21 there was another shift and that's 319 00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:06,320 like six episodes different or seven episodes apart seven days apart and in 320 00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:11,320 episode 21 I was talking about how it's been like every week once a week 321 00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:18,760 something awesome happens and like a change in my life happens and I was 322 00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:23,920 saying like I'm not gonna expect it to happen again but maybe on episode like 323 00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:31,360 28 or whatever episode is seven days from now maybe on that episode I will be 324 00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:45,560 at like I'll have another time where I like another shift in my life and it it 325 00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:53,400 happened six so instead of seven it was six episodes so today's episode 27 so I 326 00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:57,880 don't know I'm really looking for the future things are just happening quicker 327 00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:06,400 and quicker and it's really like I've been locking in on my routine I know 328 00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:11,400 that as long as I keep this routine up and I now that I have these classes I 329 00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:20,400 will 100% be able to keep this routine up for many months to come as long as I 330 00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:25,520 keep this routine up I will be successful very soon and I'm very 331 00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:33,160 confident that like the core things I've been doing in the morning I do 332 00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:39,960 balancing on my ball my medicine ball and everything I do has a purpose so me 333 00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:45,560 balancing on the medicine ball is to get better balance because then once 334 00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:51,800 I become a surfer and I moved to Hawaii and I start surfing I will have such a 335 00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:55,560 big advantage than I would have otherwise because my balance will be way 336 00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:59,320 better so I'll be starting off my starting point will be way higher than 337 00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:06,040 it would have been so that's what the purpose of that the purpose of me 338 00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:12,800 meditating I talked about this a lot but I found that meditating every single day 339 00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:19,220 consistently for in the morning and at night it has been a game changer for me 340 00:38:19,220 --> 00:38:23,560 my focus is so much better I can get into the zone and when you're in the 341 00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:28,200 zone you're basically the most optimal you most efficient you which is extremely 342 00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:34,600 valuable now especially now because I'm not trying to have homework I'm not 343 00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:39,920 trying to work on school at home I'm only trying to work on school at school 344 00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:47,640 and then go straight from school and then once I'm done with school don't 345 00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:51,960 focus on school at all I'm trying to just batch school all at once and just 346 00:38:51,960 --> 00:39:01,000 only focus on school 100% during school and so meditation allows me to have that 347 00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:09,400 focus to get things done and that also takes discipline and me taking cold 348 00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:15,400 showers every day no matter what and it gets easier but it's still tough it's 349 00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:19,400 still really hard for me like this morning I was struggling but I do it 350 00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:23,880 because I need that discipline to be able to do what needs to be done during 351 00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:28,120 the day and every time I do it my discipline gets higher and higher and 352 00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:33,280 stronger and stronger now I'm not saying everything on my routine I already 353 00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:41,640 talked about this in my previous episodes I don't know which but studying 354 00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:47,320 in the morning and this is why I'm super glad there's another reason why I'm 355 00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:53,680 super glad that I decided to switch going to the gym in the afternoon 356 00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:59,040 because studying in the morning has been one of the best things that I have done 357 00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:05,120 I studied probably two hours after waking because in the first two hours I'm 358 00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:11,120 doing my morning routine like meditation and balancing on the ball doing that 359 00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:17,720 neck exercise I talked about last episode all kind of stuff eating stuff 360 00:40:17,720 --> 00:40:22,680 like that and then that gives me literally like an hour and a half to 361 00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:29,280 just study in the morning because I have to leave at like 740 so from 6 until 362 00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:39,000 like 720 maybe 730 if I'm cutting it close I get to study and in the morning 363 00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:44,440 I've been studying reality trans surfing because two reasons I originally did in 364 00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:49,600 the afternoon and I was retaining way more in from my morning study session 365 00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:55,880 than my afternoon study session so I swapped expert secrets in reality 366 00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:59,080 trans surfing so now I'm studying the trans surfing in the morning and expert 367 00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:07,520 secrets in the afternoon and that's just because trans surfing is way more like 368 00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:13,240 valuable for me to retain more of it extra secrets a hundred percent I want 369 00:41:13,240 --> 00:41:19,280 to retain everything in that but you when you're doing things in your day you 370 00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:27,480 just have to prioritize things I extra secrets is 100% a priority but trans 371 00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:34,200 surfing is just a higher priority on my list right now and that doesn't mean 372 00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:37,880 that I'm ignoring extra secrets like right after I'm done recording this 373 00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:42,800 episode I'm going straight to study extra secrets for one hour like I still 374 00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:48,160 do in the afternoon it's just I want the most efficient optimal time of my time 375 00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:59,000 in the morning on trans surfing and on the second reason why I chose trans 376 00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:05,960 surfing in the morning is because that sets me up on the day for the day it 377 00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:11,160 gets me attuned it gets my thought energy attuned and it reminds me of 378 00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:17,360 things that I need to be reminded about to prepare me for the day and I saw this 379 00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:22,880 especially this morning when I was studying I knew that I needed to be 380 00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:26,720 reading this stuff to prepare me for the day because I just finished the 381 00:42:26,720 --> 00:42:33,920 alternatives flow chapter this morning and while I was reading that I was like 382 00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:41,760 I got to keep this in mind today because today is a very impasse will be a turning 383 00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:47,680 point a possible turning point in my day or in my life it will be a milestone 384 00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:52,640 turning point and so I had to follow the principles of trans surfing to if I 385 00:42:52,640 --> 00:43:00,000 wanted to succeed and I did once I dropped the importance the walls of the 386 00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:07,040 barriers the obstacles the problems crumbled so that's the two reasons why I 387 00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:15,920 read trans surfing in the morning so then once I'm done with trans surfing I 388 00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:30,720 just pack up and then go to the school and honestly I'm really excited for this 389 00:43:30,720 --> 00:43:36,080 school year my classes are actually like really fun I would I'm not even gonna 390 00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:43,160 lie I was like thinking about I was thinking about dropping out because I 391 00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:48,080 thought all my classes are gonna be terrible no I'm dead I'm probably not 392 00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:52,240 gonna drop out I'm definitely gonna finish up and this is one thing that I 393 00:43:52,240 --> 00:43:57,600 was thinking about isn't my friend wants to drop out also and since he didn't get 394 00:43:57,600 --> 00:44:02,480 the classes that he wanted he might actually go through with it but I'm 395 00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:08,760 gonna tell him what I'm about to tell you guys and it is that if you were going 396 00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:19,160 to school that's pendulum right but if you were to drop out that would create an 397 00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:25,400 even stronger pendulum and an even more destructive pendulum because if you were to 398 00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:34,440 drop out and you're still living in your parents house then the thought energy 399 00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:42,280 will be so destructive you'll your life may like switch courses for the worse 400 00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:50,520 and the thing is in Russell Brunson's book or not Russell Brunson's MJ 401 00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:55,800 DeMarco's book the millionaire fast lane he talked about how he lived in his 402 00:44:55,800 --> 00:45:02,840 parents house for like maybe ten years I don't know how long but he lived in his 403 00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:06,800 parents house for a long time while he was figuring things out and trying to 404 00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:16,080 become a millionaire and while he was there his mom would always yell get a 405 00:45:16,080 --> 00:45:24,640 job or try and get him to get a job and that situation could possibly play out 406 00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:28,960 if you were to drop out so if you were just to go to school yeah it's a 407 00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:34,200 destructive pendulum but if you were to drop out you would probably be in a 408 00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:41,920 worse situation because parents would probably not understand and they would 409 00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:52,200 probably not like I don't know besides that point that's why I'm gonna try and 410 00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:58,680 convince him not to drop out and because if I really think that this is gonna 411 00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:05,200 help me along my path because right now so one of the principles in 412 00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:09,800 transsurfing is to stay awake it's basically to stay present and remember 413 00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:15,440 to follow the principles of transsurfing reduce importance don't get caught by a 414 00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:25,040 pendulum and stay awake and my friend brought this up to me going to school is 415 00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:30,440 a huge practice to stay awake because we'll be in immersed in the pendulum and 416 00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:38,720 we were probably asleep like 99% of the time last year maybe even more but now 417 00:46:38,720 --> 00:46:45,760 now that we've been practicing all summer and studying we'll be able to 418 00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:51,380 train our brain to stay more awake and while I was at the gym today I saw my 419 00:46:51,380 --> 00:46:58,360 friend and he actually said this is a huge opportunity for us because we'll be 420 00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:06,160 able to stay awake that muscle it's like a muscle in your brain that command in 421 00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:10,480 your brain your inner guardian is like a muscle and you have to train it to get 422 00:47:10,480 --> 00:47:16,440 better and right now we're probably awake for like 10% of the day not good 423 00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:22,360 enough then tomorrow we'll be awake for 12% a day and progressively overload and 424 00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:28,800 then by the end of the semester we will be awake a hundred percent of time and 425 00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:34,920 we will be true transsurfers and it's just amazing practice it's really good 426 00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:40,600 practice which since this is the most destructive pendulum in the world in my 427 00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:54,160 opinion one of the most at least then this is definitely a huge opportunity 428 00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:59,920 for us to practice because once we get through this nothing will be able to 429 00:47:59,920 --> 00:48:05,120 district nothing will be able to get us to get up nothing will be able to get us 430 00:48:05,120 --> 00:48:11,160 off track in the future 431 00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:30,400 yeah I'm really looking forward to the future so that in my meditation or my 432 00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:38,240 journaling last night I came up with this thing that I need to do and it is 433 00:48:38,240 --> 00:48:47,160 get a sheet of paper and label it transsurfing principles and I am I should 434 00:48:47,160 --> 00:48:53,760 need to write down every single transsurfing principle as I'm reading 435 00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:58,160 every single main transsurfing principle every single exercise every single 436 00:48:58,160 --> 00:49:09,320 technique and then I need to every single day so I need to every single day 437 00:49:09,320 --> 00:49:16,360 look at that list and then make a new list for like the week or the month and 438 00:49:16,360 --> 00:49:25,320 only focus on those and just 100% focus on them until they become a habit so for 439 00:49:25,320 --> 00:49:33,360 example the first thing I will do is probably focus on the positive and stay 440 00:49:33,360 --> 00:49:39,640 positive and try to always find a positive in every single situation I 441 00:49:39,640 --> 00:49:45,440 encounter including the negative situations and so for that entire week I 442 00:49:45,440 --> 00:49:51,720 will stay conscious of that principle and by the end of the week or the month 443 00:49:51,720 --> 00:49:56,960 however long it takes for it to become a habit then I'll move on to the next one 444 00:49:56,960 --> 00:50:02,280 and then the next one and I'm pretty sure this is the best technique to go 445 00:50:02,280 --> 00:50:09,840 about it so I'll have to figure out when I can do that I fear that if I don't do 446 00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:16,240 it today it will never be done but I'm probably not gonna do it today I have to 447 00:50:16,240 --> 00:50:32,640 get some water 448 00:50:33,640 --> 00:50:42,280 yeah so staying staying positive is one of the main principles of transsurfing 449 00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:50,320 and on days like this where awesome things happen to me it's easy but on 450 00:50:50,320 --> 00:50:58,920 days where I'm like down my energy is low which may or may not happen in the 451 00:50:58,920 --> 00:51:06,520 future who knows but on days like that that's when I need to focus on trying to 452 00:51:06,520 --> 00:51:24,520 find the positive that's when I need to remember I'm man I'm this is one of the 453 00:51:24,520 --> 00:51:31,680 things that I was struggling to find a positive about in my just trying to I 454 00:51:31,680 --> 00:51:36,080 was trying to find a positive about going to school but I definitely am 455 00:51:36,080 --> 00:51:43,840 looking forward to this year there's so many benefits to this that I'm doing 456 00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:52,560 I'm really looking forward to it and tomorrow I think we have an assembly 457 00:51:52,560 --> 00:52:03,400 which is awesome I'll have to figure out when that is I'm a part-time student I'm 458 00:52:03,400 --> 00:52:11,520 a senior I'm a part-time student and I'm graduating early and I'm an entrepreneur 459 00:52:11,520 --> 00:52:21,560 and I'm a surfer I'm a funnel builder I'm a surfer I'm so excited to go 460 00:52:21,560 --> 00:52:38,280 surfing I've never been surfing before this is one of the best things in my 461 00:52:38,280 --> 00:52:44,960 life this is the best thing that is in my life self-improvement is the best 462 00:52:44,960 --> 00:52:54,680 thing in my life I'm and being able to achieve my goals it's so awesome two 463 00:52:54,680 --> 00:52:59,680 years ago I was proud I was destined to go to college and get a nine-to-five job 464 00:52:59,680 --> 00:53:10,480 just like everyone else now I'm graduating early I'm a part-time 465 00:53:10,480 --> 00:53:21,760 student and I'm going to Florida next month to go to a live event to learn 466 00:53:21,760 --> 00:53:30,560 about marketing and soon I will be going to Hawaii and moving there purchasing a 467 00:53:30,560 --> 00:53:40,520 house 400k I'm going to purchase a house and move to Hawaii a one-bedroom one 468 00:53:40,520 --> 00:53:50,680 bathroom house I'm looking forward to the future I'm really glad that I 469 00:53:50,680 --> 00:53:58,520 started documenting the journey when I did and if you guys have any thoughts 470 00:53:58,520 --> 00:54:06,400 about starting a podcast do it just do it do it now because this is one of the 471 00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:12,840 most fulfilling things honestly like right now podcasting is like one of the 472 00:54:12,840 --> 00:54:19,360 things I look forward to in the day and I only have like seven subscribers to 473 00:54:19,360 --> 00:54:29,440 like less than 300 downloads so imagine what it'll be like in one month time 474 00:54:29,440 --> 00:54:35,560 when I have a thousand downloads or one year time when I have a thousand 475 00:54:35,560 --> 00:54:39,200 subscribers I don't know what I'll be like I definitely think that my growth 476 00:54:39,200 --> 00:54:48,080 is gonna happen within a year and then my life will be radically changed within 477 00:54:48,080 --> 00:54:54,640 a year simply because I'm locked in on my routine and I'm focused on the future 478 00:54:54,640 --> 00:55:01,120 this is one of the things that I wrote down in my journal the other the I think 479 00:55:01,120 --> 00:55:06,240 last night or the night before and it was never be the victim of circumstance 480 00:55:06,240 --> 00:55:11,840 most people are the victim of circumstance and it's just because 481 00:55:11,840 --> 00:55:18,280 they're asleep but that is how you few are like most people you live like most 482 00:55:18,280 --> 00:55:24,320 people and that's like a nine-to-five very miserable life I'm not doing that 483 00:55:24,320 --> 00:55:35,000 and the difference between them and me is I am I'm in I'm in charge of my own 484 00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:40,560 destiny I'm choosing my own destiny and I am not going to be the victim of 485 00:55:40,560 --> 00:55:48,640 circumstance the way you do that is to release importance and stay awake if you 486 00:55:48,640 --> 00:55:54,200 stay awake and stay purposeful and mission-driven goal-driven and follow 487 00:55:54,200 --> 00:56:00,320 the trans surfing principles then there's no way you can fail because you 488 00:56:00,320 --> 00:56:09,560 choose to succeed you choose to get your life now I want you guys to take note 489 00:56:09,560 --> 00:56:17,640 right now I'm a high school student make recording this podcast in my parents 490 00:56:17,640 --> 00:56:24,800 basement which I'm living it's my childhood home like I'm still living 491 00:56:24,800 --> 00:56:35,080 here and I'm 17 years old broke like 70 bucks in my bank account and I'm 492 00:56:35,080 --> 00:56:41,320 speaking like this and it's because my identity has been shifted to that of a 493 00:56:41,320 --> 00:56:48,560 successful person and the first step to making change is to change your identity 494 00:56:48,560 --> 00:56:54,960 so right now the only thing that's changed in my life is my identity but 495 00:56:54,960 --> 00:57:00,480 then soon after that I start making decisions based off that new identity and 496 00:57:00,480 --> 00:57:08,520 things start to happen in my life that align with that new identity and my life 497 00:57:08,520 --> 00:57:13,160 starts to change and every single time you take this is a transfer from 498 00:57:13,160 --> 00:57:19,840 principle by the way every single time a positive change happens in your life 499 00:57:19,840 --> 00:57:27,080 always take note of it and savor it so today the positive change that happened 500 00:57:27,080 --> 00:57:31,960 was I became a part-time student so I spent like the whole afternoon thinking 501 00:57:31,960 --> 00:57:42,480 about how awesome that is and what that does is I radiate thought energy to the 502 00:57:42,480 --> 00:57:49,640 same frequency of the wave of fortune which is basically the lifeline that you 503 00:57:49,640 --> 00:57:55,400 can get on which is like you struck a gold vein so you're just lucky you just 504 00:57:55,400 --> 00:58:08,480 are lucky constantly and that is once you hit the wave of fortune your life 505 00:58:08,480 --> 00:58:13,360 begins to shift for the better and then your lifelines shift to more successful 506 00:58:13,360 --> 00:58:19,960 lifelines and eventually you get to your goal so right now I have two goals my 507 00:58:19,960 --> 00:58:29,960 short-term goal is next month I'm going to Florida with my friend and going to 508 00:58:29,960 --> 00:58:34,960 funnel hacking live which is gonna be in like one month and 12 days that's when 509 00:58:34,960 --> 00:58:41,800 it starts so we'll probably get there in like one month and 10 days and my 510 00:58:41,800 --> 00:58:54,040 second goal is to purchase a house in Hawaii and live there like alone or 511 00:58:54,040 --> 00:59:00,400 with a friend or whatever doesn't right now I'm my goal is to do it alone 512 00:59:00,400 --> 00:59:07,640 because my friend has different dreams and visions but I'm going to purchase a 513 00:59:07,640 --> 00:59:13,280 house in Florida and moving there living there and just focusing a hundred 514 00:59:13,280 --> 00:59:24,080 percent on business and gym going to the gym and surfing that will be my days 515 00:59:24,080 --> 00:59:29,680 I'll work on my business like once a week because I'm gonna study the four 516 00:59:29,680 --> 00:59:38,240 hour work week again and automate my business and then just focus 100% on 517 00:59:38,240 --> 00:59:43,560 surfing and going to the gym that would be my life and that sounds like the that 518 00:59:43,560 --> 00:59:48,440 sounds like the good life to me and I'll also focus on my health by that point 519 00:59:48,440 --> 00:59:54,120 I'll probably be making a lot of money so I'll be spending a lot of money on my 520 00:59:54,120 --> 01:00:00,440 health and I'll probably join blueprint which is Brian Johnson's thing just 521 01:00:00,440 --> 01:00:07,400 experiment with a lot of things and get my health like perfect so the future is 522 01:00:07,400 --> 01:00:12,400 looking amazing and I want you guys to take note and of all the changes that 523 01:00:12,400 --> 01:00:19,480 are happening because it's not instant but it's not but it's also not over a 524 01:00:19,480 --> 01:00:24,880 long period of time if you follow the principles of transferring you don't 525 01:00:24,880 --> 01:00:36,400 have to retire in 40 years you'll retire in a year or less so when I started 526 01:00:36,400 --> 01:00:45,200 focusing and studying on business it was like June like 26th or something less 527 01:00:45,200 --> 01:00:56,160 than two months ago and I predict that I will have a steady income by December or 528 01:00:56,160 --> 01:01:06,440 by January 1st by 2024 all
