0:00Have you ever noticed how some people
0:02get everything they want while for some
0:05reason you don't? Have you also noticed
0:08how these some people may not always
0:10have the best of intentions, but for
0:12some reason they just rest easy and
0:16sleep like a baby at night? Whereas you
0:18have a very strong conscience. You want
0:20to do good in the world, but because
0:22it's so important for you to do good,
0:25you actually end up creating unnecessary
0:27resistance and you keep yourself stuck
0:30in overthinking and self-doubt. Well,
0:32the reason why this happens is because
0:34there's a side to you known as the
0:37shadow that keeps blocking your true
0:39power.
0:40Now, once this side to you is unleashed
0:42and harnessed correctly, you will truly
0:45become unstoppable.
0:47In today's video, I'm going to show you
0:49how to bring the shadow to light and
0:51become a completely different person.
0:53So, with that, let's get started. So,
0:56the very first thing I want to share
0:57with you that'll get you to getting
1:00success like a bad person without
1:03becoming a bad person is learning how to
1:06act with pure intention. So, if you
1:10notice a phenomenon where we, you know,
1:13want to raise our hands or do something
1:15very, very non-cerebral. It doesn't
1:18require any thinking. It's simply acting
1:20with pure intention. Let's say you have
1:22the conception of raising your arm. So,
1:25right now, you have a conception of
1:26raising your arm, then you go ahead and
1:28do it. There is no time delay between
1:30you receiving the instruction of raising
1:32your arm and you actually executing on
1:35the action. So, there is a conception of
1:37the action and that gets transferred
1:40into the action itself. You receive
1:43divine inspiration and you know, this
1:45isn't just in the case of raising a
1:46hand, but in just any case, you receive
1:49divine inspiration and you just simply
1:51carry out the instructions. But what
1:53happens for most people who are
1:54quote-unquote good? This is what
1:56happens. You have conception, then you
1:59rationalize. You rationalize or you
2:02think, and then you get to action. So,
2:06this rationalization is your ego
2:07stepping in saying, "Is this the right
2:09thing to do? What if I do this and
2:11people I lose my reputation, people
2:13think I'm weird, people think I'm bad."
2:15Any good person would have that
2:17conscience. Evil people don't. Bad
2:18people just don't. That's why they can
2:20just go out and do whatever they want.
2:21Eventually it catches up to them, they
2:23get arrested, they go to jail, they you
2:24know, bad things happen to them. But,
2:26what we want to do is have less and less
2:28of it, so it doesn't block us from
2:30achieving greatness. Okay? So, it
2:32doesn't block us from acting with pure
2:33intention. So, the more you can cut down
2:36the time delay between the conception of
2:39the idea and carrying out the action
2:41itself, the higher the likelihood that
2:43that divine inspiration that initially
2:45hit you, you'll be able to carry out on.
2:47This affected me deeply because when I
2:49started to see some results with my
2:51YouTube channel and I started to make
2:52some good videos, what I would notice is
2:55I would overthink. Right? I would get
2:57into this state of overthinking being
2:58like, "Oh, is this going to be good
2:59enough? What if this isn't a good video?
3:01I can't afford to make a bad video." So,
3:04now my thinking process, which initially
3:06made me successful, was, "I'm just going
3:08to go ahead go out and speak about
3:10whatever I want to speak about." Okay?
3:12I'm going to share as much as I can to
3:14help people. That's what my initial
3:16thinking process was that actually got
3:18me YouTube success. But, then once I got
3:21on that success, the ego, the rational
3:23mind, steps in and it says, "Oh, now
3:26you're successful. Now you are this
3:27person. And so, you have to maintain
3:29this person. Right? You can't sabotage
3:31this person. You've worked hard to
3:33become this person, now you must stay as
3:34it." And that's why successful people
3:36suffer so much. They suffer their own
3:38success. Right? They develop this ego
3:40and they're like, "I can't lose this. I
3:41must fight like hell to maintain this."
3:45And so, internally they always suffer.
3:47They're never fulfilled. So, that's why
3:50a lot of people, by the way, they get to
3:52a certain level in their careers and
3:53their businesses and they describe it as
3:55golden shackles, right? The golden
3:57handcuffs. Because they've attained all
4:00of this and now this sunk cost effect
4:02comes in where they're like, "Oh, you
4:03know, I've worked really, really hard to
4:05get up to this level. I can't sabotage
4:07this." Until something really, really
4:08painful happens in their lives. So,
4:10going back to my instance of, you know,
4:12when I would gain some success with
4:14YouTube, I'd be like, "Oh, no, I can't
4:15make a video that won't go viral. I need
4:17to keep making videos that go viral." My
4:19ego was attached to it and that's why I
4:21would over rationalize. I would have all
4:22these great ideas to make videos on and
4:24I would get into that energy state of
4:25sharing, but what I would do is instead
4:27of thinking about you, the people who
4:28are watching, I would think about myself
4:30and like, I would, you know, over
4:32rationalize and think about my image and
4:35how I presented myself as and I wouldn't
4:38want to test those ideas and share the
4:41ideas that I actually wanted to share.
4:43So, for a lot of you, you're holding
4:44yourself back from sharing your true
4:47power with the world because the ego
4:48steps in and it over rationalizes. And
4:51by the way, with this rationalization,
4:53what happens is you basically stunt that
4:58power of inspiration. You get inspired,
5:00you have a you conceive of an idea and
5:03in that moment you're super, super
5:04inspired. It's kind of like the child
5:07has the idea to do something great, to
5:09go on a great adventure, but then the
5:11mom and the dad, the rational parents,
5:14step in. They're like, "Oh, no, but you
5:15can't do this. You can't do this. You
5:17shouldn't do this. It's bad to do this."
5:19These voices that you have in your head,
5:21the voices of rationalization, guess
5:22where they're from? They're from your
5:23childhood. Someone programmed you to be
5:25this way, right? You didn't choose to
5:27think these thoughts. Someone programmed
5:29you to be over concerned with how you
5:31look, how you appear and it's typically
5:33something from your childhood. Maybe a
5:35parent, maybe church, right? Maybe a
5:39certain group that you were part of,
5:40maybe certain friend group that you're
5:41part of. Why do they do that? Why do
5:43they keep you stuck in these mental
5:45loops? Because they have something to
5:46gain from it. By keeping you good, by
5:48keeping you obedient, they can program
5:50you, right? So, that's the whole reason
5:52why we have this voice that comes in and
5:54it interrupts. Everyone has this, by the
5:57way. It's just the the judging
5:59mechanism. We have to judge whether
6:00we're doing something that's going to
6:02help us survive or it's going to
6:03contribute to us dying, right? So,
6:05that's exactly what happens. So, the key
6:07I want you to take away from here is
6:10don't think less of yourself, just think
6:13of yourself less. The hack, the mental
6:15perception shift that allowed me to
6:17break free from over-rationalizing and
6:20always judging myself, is just to not
6:23think about myself as much. Okay? So,
6:25key, think about yourself less. Don't
6:28think less of yourself, think about
6:30yourself less. Simple, right? Well, one
6:33of my success coaches simply One of my
6:35success coaches recently had this bout
6:39of imposter syndrome. You know, she
6:40would host these calls, these coaching
6:43calls, and she would feel great
6:45initially. And she felt like she kept
6:47getting better and better at delivering
6:48a great service to our clients and
6:50coaching our clients to success. But
6:52then recently she went on this journey
6:54to quitting a really harmful habit of
6:55vaping. And, you know, as soon as she
6:58started quitting, she noticed this brain
7:00fog, all of these withdrawal symptoms
7:02coming up. And she started to doubt
7:04herself. She was like, "Oh no, I've lost
7:05my mojo. You know, on these coaching
7:07calls I'm not as sharp anymore." And she
7:09started to get into a head about it. I
7:10simply advised her like, "Hey, you can
7:12only show up with the best that you've
7:14got in the moment. You're going through
7:16a journey of healing. It's not like
7:17you'll never get that back. Even, by the
7:19way, even if this is the case because
7:22you simply perceive that you're not, you
7:24know, sharp. However, others perceiving
7:26you probably don't think this at all.
7:29They're probably not thinking about this
7:30even one bit because most people are
7:32just thinking about themselves, right?
7:34So, first and foremost, this is probably
7:37not even true. And even if it were true,
7:40all you can do is perform the best that
7:42you can and evaluate yourself at the end
7:44of a certain period, right? A lot of the
7:46times when I show up to videos, some
7:48days I'll make a good video and I'll
7:49feel like I made a great video. Other
7:50days I won't feel that way and that's
7:52okay because you're going to have a good
7:54day, you're going to have a bad day.
7:55Some days you have great days, some days
7:57you don't, but that's just how life
7:58works, right? But you'll notice that
8:00your worst days will just keep getting
8:02better and better as you keep going on
8:04this journey and as you build
8:05competence, right? As you keep doing the
8:08thing over and over. Like for me right
8:10now making a video like this is a lot
8:12more natural than me making a video 6, 7
8:14years ago when I made my first ever
8:16video. Back in 2018, I made my first
8:19ever video and you should have seen how
8:21unnatural I felt on camera. Compared to
8:23that, if I were to make my worst video
8:25right now, it would be very, very it
8:28would be like 10 times better in
8:30quality, right? And the reason is
8:32because once you start doing something,
8:34your lowest performer, your lowest
8:36standard of it, it just keeps getting
8:38higher and higher because if you're so
8:40into the craft, you start to build
8:42subconscious muscle memory. You get
8:44unconscious competence. There's four
8:46types of competencies. There is
8:48unconscious incompetence where you don't
8:50know that you don't know. Then there is
8:52conscious incompetence where you do know
8:54that you don't know. And then a level
8:56above that is conscious competence where
8:58you know that you know and you're doing
9:00it, you're riding the bike for the first
9:02time. And then the highest level of all
9:03is unconscious competence where you just
9:06simply show up, you are, you can be and
9:09as a result of just being, you show up
9:11at that level because you've mastered it
9:14subconsciously. It's built muscle
9:15memory. It's like riding a bike for the
9:18thousandth time, right? And that's why
9:21they talk about the the law of 10,000
9:22hours. To achieve mastery in anything,
9:25you need to get 10,000 hours of
9:26experience. So if I keep making these
9:28videos again and again and again, I'm
9:30going to gain a level of mastery that
9:33others may not have in this particular
9:36craft. It would be unreasonable for me
9:38to expect that the very first video that
9:39I'm going to make is going to be a hit
9:41and it's going to be the best, right?
9:42It's not impossible. I'm not saying it's
9:44impossible, but it's it would be
9:45unreasonable to expect that. So, it's
9:47time and attention. The more you keep
9:49doing something, the more you keep
9:50committing to something, and the more
9:52repetitions you get, you're going to
9:53build muscle memory. Even if there are
9:56some moments where it's an up and a
9:58down, your worst core, the worst
10:00performer today is probably 10 times
10:03better than your best performer 3, 4, 5
10:06years ago, okay? So, I want you to keep
10:08that in mind is to think about yourself
10:10less.
