If you're reading this, you have an INCREDIBLE gift! One of the best abilities that we have as people is our ability to learn, not just from our own experiences, but from the experiences of OTHERS as well! It's a superpower when it comes to personal development. Think about this: You didn't have to get hit by a car to learn that you should look both ways before crossing a street. You probably didn't have to burn your hands on a hot stove to know that it's unwise to put your hands on it. You learned those things from being told by other people. That's the secret to developing skills and achieving your goals! What many people do when they set a goal is to reinvent the wheel. Someone gets excited, and gets started right away with what they think is the best course of action. (Note: I'm a HUGE fan of taking massive action, and by all means get started now, rather than later!) However, there is a faster way towards success in anything. Which is to become a "copycat" so to speak. You see, success leaves clues. No matter what goals you have in your life and regardless of the skills that you need to learn in order to achieve those goals, other people have already achieved those things! Instead of trying to figure everything out yourself, the key is to look for the proven path that others have already paved for you! If you want to get in shape, ask the fittest guys at the gym for tips. When facing issues in your relationship, ask the couple that has been together for 17 years. The fact of the matter is that if other people have achieved the goals that you want to achieve yourself, they either know things you don't or they have been consistently working on that goal for longer than you. "A smart man learns from his mistakes, but a genius learns from the mistakes of others." - Albert Einstein These days, it's especially easy! With Google, podcasts and YouTube, you have a TON of successful people in every endeavor sharing their stories, knowledge and experience. Here's my challenge to you: Right after watching this video, go to the search bar and search for a skill you want to learn or goal you want to achieve. Subscribe to a few people who teach those skills and watch their videos. Then, start actually implementing what you learn and you will reach your goals way faster than by trying to achieve them through trial and error!

Have you ever felt completely lost in life? To feel like you have no clue what you really want to do with your life (let alone how to do it)? Has life perhaps felt meaningless at times? And is there part of you that has no damn clue what to do to create a better lifestyle for yourself? If that's you, grab a pen and paper right now! As you can see, this is one of my longer videos, and it's this long because it covers the ENTIRE process of creating a life that you love! We're going through the process of goal setting and figuring out what TRULY motivates you. You learn how to get the only kind of motivation that actually works and get the step by step process to achieve any goal imaginable! Here's what you'll learn in this video: - The first thing to do when feeling lost - The importance of your physical wellbeing - Taking an honest look at your life, so that you know what to focus on - Mapping out the dream life that you want to live - Cultivating endless motivation (that actually lasts!) - How to Reverse-Engineer your goals & make them a reality - How to deal with setbacks along the way I might be biased, but I believe this to be a masterclass in personal development! If you're getting value from this video, please give it a thumbs up & subscribe if you're not already! Plus, if you know someone who's struggling with the things mentioned, do them (and me) a favor and share this video with them! Greatly appreciated! :)

You will often hear people saying that social media is responsible for ruining our lives, making us dumber, less social, and so on. Many people think that social media is a negative influence in their lives. People blame it for kids being bullied, comparing ourselves to others, destroying our attention span, and a few other things. This is simply NOT true! Social media has NOT changed us as people. Instead, it amplified us and our emotions, it exposed that to the world and has greatly increased our reach and sources of information. Social media isn't the issue, our human emotions are. But it's a LOT easier to blame social media, rather than being responsible for our own actions, mindset and emotions. So, how can you make social media great again? How to turn social media into a POSITIVE influence in your life? Here's how social media algorithms work: The first thing you need to realize in order to make social media a better influence in your life is that YOU are in control of the algorithms! All social media platforms want you to stay on the platform for as long as possible, so they will show you content they think you're interested in. So, take a look at the content in your feeds. If it's a bunch of videos that make you feel worse about yourself, content that wastes your time, posts that distract you from your goals, people that spread negativity and so on... that's a direct reflection on YOU! It's the content that you interact with and watch. So if you want to have a better experience on social media, unfollow all pages and people that drag you down. Instead subscribe to people and creators that teach you the skills you need, that are a positive influence and that help you become your best self! (While you're at it, subscribe to my channel too!) From there on, go and watch a bunch of content that help you become your best self and achieve your goals! And watch ONLY that content for a couple of days. As you do that, you'll see that these platforms like YouTube, Instagram, TikTok and Facebook will start showing you more of the same kind of content! And that's how to turn social media into a positive force in your life! You do not need to quit social media, instead turn it into something better.
