I feel that self-improvement has kind of been tainted in a way that sounds weird like many others I started my self-improvement journey through YouTube and self-improvement has changed my life in ways I can't even put into videos but recently it's become kind of this trend on YouTube and other social media platforms and I feel that as my channel has grown I've kind of bought into this narrative more a little bit and honestly it's not what I wanted to do for this channel no one meditation a week and writing down your goals and you know watching
Andrew T's not going to change your life and I feel like I've kind of presented a lot of these things as a quick way to fix your life and turn everything around and that's just really not the case you have to put in hours and hours and hours of repetition of work of self-reflect of really going into your mind and figuring out how to create habits that you will continue doing for the long term and how to make changes that will actually benefit you and I've seen so many videos of kids you know I'm up
at 6:00 a.m. working on my business I'm going to be ahead like no bro year 10 enjoy life and I feel like that's where self-improvement kind of gets up right you know people focus on I'm going to stay up 12 hours and do Straight work all day and and lock in and work my business and yes I mean you will get far but honestly in my opinion I don't think you will get nearly as far as someone who prioritizes their time yes but also enjoys life you know that that must be miserable and I feel
that so many people are focused on I need to become a millionaire by 18 or or 21 and you know if you're miserable now and you become a millionaire in a year you're still probably going to be miserable it's like building a a luxury apartment complex on a foundation you know with shitty wood that's full of termites right like it looks nice at the top but on the surface these These are extremely detrimental problems that are underlying that you need to fix first people like Iman godi and Luke Belmont will try to sell you this
life of luxury and fun and women and and drinks and money and you know a lot of people's brains become fixated on this idea and they kind of lose touch with the actual difficulty of achieving this and the work it takes to get there and I guarantee you most people who started watch this video haven't watched to this point just because you know everything whether it's Tik Tok porn whatever it fixates your mind to to look for for pleasure in the short term right and this video doesn't have a ton of edits or a ton
of sound effects or or flashy colors or whatever this is probably one of the most Raw videos I will ever make on the channel and it's just something that needed to be said right and in addition to this I feel truly bad for a lot of people who think they're actually fixing their life right because they're kind of sucked back into this trap okay I'm watching self-improvement YouTube and self-improving Tik Tok and I'm going to the gym every day but have you really seen any major progress right you're still scrolling on your phone for hours
a day you're still playing video games you're still watching porn as I play video games I say that but again back to my point it's all about balancing life yes I enjoy playing video games once in a while but as long as I had a productive day and I can do something productive and I think that's the big balance between you know doing nothing all day and living a miserable life of unhealthiness and laziness and unfulfillment vers a life of working all the time never having any time for anything you enjoy and also feeling a
sense of unfulfillment in your more emotional ways thanks for listening to my little Yap session if you made it all the way through comment and I'll hit you up uh drop your Discord as well after I respond to your comment and uh I'll stay in touch with you I'll make sure you know you're on the right track you're locking in but you're also enjoying your life and I think that's a big important part of self-improve that that's not talked about enough so go out there get some done today but also have some fun improve now
