00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,000
So in a recent morning, I was really doubting myself.
2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:11,500
I was really doubting whether I was actually making progress, whether I was actually like
3
00:00:11,500 --> 00:00:13,000
going to achieve my goals.
4
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:15,000
I was really doubting my future.
5
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:22,000
It's like when you let that doubt overcome you, it's scary because it's hard to escape that.
6
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:28,000
And so I was doing my workout in the morning and I was literally just like walking around,
7
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:32,000
literally questioning like, is this going to be enough, is this enough?
8
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,000
Am I going to achieve my goals? Am I going to find success?
9
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:45,000
All this stuff, it's been seven months since I started the podcast, not much results.
10
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:52,000
But then I'm just like, I'm still like rummaging through my thoughts and my thoughts are running rampant.
11
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:57,000
Literally just going off on their own.
12
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:01,000
And all of a sudden, I just get this burst of energy.
13
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:07,000
I'm just like, no, no, no, I'm a beast.
14
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:11,000
And I just like punch a metal structure.
15
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,000
It hurt really bad, but I just like run around.
16
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,000
I'm like, no, I'm doing this.
17
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,000
Like this is exactly what I'm supposed to be doing.
18
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,000
I am doing this like screw down.
19
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:25,000
And then I just like basically logically convinced myself.
20
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,000
After I convinced myself emotionally.
21
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:32,000
So like the first thing was convincing myself emotionally, getting myself out of that rut.
22
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,000
Like I was in a rut of doubt.
23
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,000
Literally my thoughts were doubting in a cycle.
24
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:42,000
And then I was like, no, I gotta get out of this because this is an emotional trap.
25
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:47,000
And the only way to free yourself from an emotional trap is to use emotion.
26
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:48,000
You can't use logic.
27
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:53,000
Like you can't just be like, oh, but like this and this and this, like that's why that didn't work.
28
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:54,000
That wouldn't work.
29
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:55,000
And I was trying to do that.
30
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,000
I was trying to be like, oh, but like this is logic.
31
00:01:58,000 --> 00:01:59,000
It didn't work.
32
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:16,000
But the moment I would like literally remind myself to freaking hype up and get like excited and screw the doubt, slay that like literally absolutely freaking kill it.
33
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,000
Like obliterate that thing.
34
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:23,000
Like once I did that, that's when I was like, oh, like literally tension alleviated.
35
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:29,000
And so I was literally just like running around the park, literally like freaking phone like this, like hitting things.
36
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:34,000
And then like there's this, um, it's like a children's playground and I'm there at like five in the morning.
37
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:39,000
And there's this like bongo set, kind of like a plastic like drum set.
38
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,000
And I was just like playing a song.
39
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:42,000
It's like boom, boom, boom, boom.
40
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,000
And I was just like going crazy.
41
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:45,000
Literally just getting hype.
42
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:52,000
I was like, dude, screw that because the moment you allow doubt to freaking rampage your life.
43
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,000
That's when you lose.
44
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,000
Losers are doubters.
45
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,000
Never forget that.
46
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,000
And it goes the other way too.
47
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,000
Doubters are losers.
48
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:04,000
So, but we all doubt.
49
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:14,000
It's just a matter of who's going to actually destroy the doubt out of their mind or not before it comes too late.
50
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:19,000
So I destroyed that doubt and I was like, I was literally running around, running around the park.
51
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:28,000
And then I was like, once I got myself emotionally on the same level, then I could like reinforce it and reassure myself through logic.
52
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,000
I was like, okay, but this is like that.
53
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:38,000
And then like, if I do this for a certain amount of time, or if I do this until I get good enough, like, and that's when the logic comes in.
54
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:43,000
So much so that I literally like drew pictures for myself in my journal that night.
55
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:48,000
And I was literally drawing like, okay, this is what the graph looks like.
56
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,000
And then I'm at this point.
57
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,000
All I have to do is have patience and just keep getting better.
58
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,000
And then eventually I'll start to grow.
59
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,000
Like, eventually the rewards will start to compound.
60
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,000
Like I literally just went through an entire thing.
61
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:09,000
I probably spent like 30 to 45 minutes brainstorming logical reasons why I'll succeed.
62
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:14,000
Like that's how important logic is, but you have to get your brain to a certain point.
63
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,000
That's why public speakers,
64
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,000
they usually start with a story.
65
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:24,000
Like they're not just like, oh, if you do this, you'll get that.
66
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,000
Or like do this for me.
67
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,000
Like they never use logic right away.
68
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:33,000
They always use a story because a story puts them on an emotional level.
69
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:46,000
And it allows them to basically put their audience into the same emotional feelings that they were feeling at the time through their story.
70
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:52,000
And then that basically is the same thing that happened to me where I was like doubting.
71
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,000
The audience will be doubting.
72
00:04:54,000 --> 00:05:07,000
But then I literally just like, freaking infuse my brain with like electric emotions of excitement.
73
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,000
Like hype.
74
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:18,000
All of the happy good emotions, freaking inserted into my brain like a hard drive.
75
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:23,000
And then that is when I was able to be like pliable.
76
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,000
That's when I was actually able to be persuaded through logic.
77
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:38,000
Like logic is useless until you actually use emotion to transfer their kind of like persona or baseline or whatever.
78
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,000
I'm kind of having a hard time describing this.
79
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:46,000
But basically public speakers have a crowd, they're let's say neutral or doubting.
80
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,000
Or even like a little bit positive.
81
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,000
Whatever.
82
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:59,000
They are all not warm enough to actually get, like to actually change through logic.
83
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,000
Because we're emotional creatures.
84
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,000
We don't make decisions based off of logic.
85
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:11,000
And then all the speaker has to do is get them onto the same emotional level to where they're logic.
86
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:15,000
Like they're where they're actually pliable through logic.
87
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,000
Just like how I did to myself.
88
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,000
Like that's all there is to it.
89
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,000
You just persuade them through the motion.
90
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:26,000
Like get them to feel the emotion and then persuade them through logic.
91
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:36,000
Like that's it.
