- [Voiceover] Your life is boring because
you have a horrific addiction to something
that no one has ever told you about
and this is an addiction that pretty much
every single human being on earth has, including myself.
And no, it's not something cliche
like you're addicted to procrastination,
you're addicted to being lazy.
This is something that even the people on the boats,
on the yachts, with the attractive people,
all of those people have the exact same addiction,
but these people know the secret
on how to manage this addiction.
So in this video, I'm going to give you the blueprint
on how to live an amazing, interesting life
through telling you how to destroy this one little addiction
that is ruining your life.
And the way that I'm going to tell you
what this addiction is, is through telling you the story
about how I improve my dating life back in college.
So back in college, I literally didn't have a dating life.
Like nothing was happening.
It wasn't that it was bad, it was that it didn't exist.
And in my mind, like the only thing that I wanted
was to have an amazing dating life.
I didn't care about money, I didn't care about school.
I just thought to myself
if I could just get some really cool stories
like all of my friends who are hooking up with people
and doing all these cool things then I would be a happy guy.
That's literally all that I thought about back then.
And I literally thought to myself, I'm like
if I can't do this, what's even the point of like anything?
What's the point of money?
What's the point of being in shape?
Back then, I literally thought that was the meaning of life.
So then I went to Youtube.com
and I typed in how to improve your dating life
and I found amazing people like Elliot Hulse
and Owen Cook from RSD and I learned a lot about dating.
They told me all kinds of amazing things
like how to break out of your shell, how to stop caring
about what other people think of you, those kinds of things.
And I love these things, but when I reflect back on it
I don't really think that was getting
to the root cause of the issue.
I think the root cause of everyone's problems
when it comes to not looking good,
when it comes to not making money,
when it comes to not having an amazing dating life
can all be tracked back to one simple thing.
And it's that most people, I think,
are totally addicted to their comfort zone
because we all know how to get in good shape.
You go to the gym, you eat protein, you eat healthy,
you do a bunch of bicep curls, but it's hard to do that.
The bicep curl hurts.
Not eating that piece of pizza is very, very difficult
because it's a lot easier to lay on your bed
with a bag of Doritos and just scroll on TikTok
or to watch endless YouTube videos
or to watch endless Netflix series.
For a lot of people that is their comfort zone
and they're addicted to that comfort zone.
And even when it comes to something like dating,
it's like you may not know
the exact perfect thing to say to someone,
but most people are not even willing
to go on the street and say,
"Hey, I thought you were cute. I wanted to say hi"
because it's too scary.
Because your comfort zone is obviously not doing that.
Your comfort zone is probably walking down the street
with your headphones in listening to whatever.
And even when it comes to something like making money
it's like most people can't even sit
through like a 45 minute free video explaining how to do it
because they're addicted to their comfort zone.
So the way that this relates
to living an interesting life is that most people, I think,
actually know how to to live an interesting life.
It's not difficult to do interesting things.
Like for example, you could literally
go get a one-way ticket to a city near you
and have no plan and just see what happens.
You could knock on random people's door and say,
"Hey, I know this sounds absolutely insane,
if I were you I probably wouldn't do this,
but I just got a one-way ticket here
and I know I sound crazy, I promise that I'm not,
but I'm trying to get outta my comfort zone.
Could I just spend a night with you?
Yes or no?
Could I sleep on your couch?
If you want, I'm happy to do your dishes
and make you a nice plate of food for your family."
I guarantee if you said that to
a hundred different families
or go to a hundred different houses,
one is going to say yes.
And hey, congratulations,
you just did something very interesting
that you can tell your grandkids
when you're 80 or 90 years old.
It's not that hard.
And to maybe make something a little bit simpler,
it's like you could go to your local bar tonight
and make a point
of having like a three to five minute conversation
with every single person in that bar.
You could go to your class or your school
and you can make a point of talking to a hundred people
on your campus and you're not allowed to leave the campus
until you've done it.
And the funny thing about that is that
I actually kind of did something similar to
when I tried to improve my dating life.
I remember I left my apartment in Vancouver
and I said to myself, "I'm not allowed to come home
until I approach a really attractive person on the street."
And I actually did that
and that's a story that I'll never ever forget,
when I'm 80 years old, when I'm 90 years old
and if I have grandkids
and the topic of dating comes up or whatever
I am going to tell them that story.
And that's something that every single one of you can do.
You don't need money to live an interesting life
or to do interesting things.
But the reason why most of you
are not gonna do any of these things
is not because you're stupid,
it's not because you're a bad person,
it's just because you're addicted to your comfort zone.
Because all of these things are so uncomfortable
and most people are just too scared to do it.
You could literally stop this video right now
get on the ground and do a thousand pushups
like you're not allowed to leave the ground,
leave the floor until you've done that.
You could do that right now, it's not that hard.
And just so you know,
I still am addicted to my comfort zone
and I think to some extent everyone is.
But the difference between these really interesting people
who do all these crazy things
is that they just do the thing anyway
even though it's scary.
It's not because people are smarter than you.
It's not because they're whatever.
It's just because some people are willing
to do the thing that makes them uncomfortable.
And it goes back to one of the most
cliche sayings in the world.
You have to get out of your comfort zone.
I genuinely believe this is the real reason
why most people will never, ever, ever
live an interesting life because it's not that hard.
And the thing is, is that interesting actions
will lead to more and more interesting things.
'Cause here's the thing,
what if one of you actually did this
and you knocked on my door in Canada?
Do you have any idea my reaction if someone said to me,
"Hey, man, yeah, so I watched this video on YouTube,
it's by a YouTuber named Mitch Manley, and he talked
about doing things that are a little bit scary.
So can I stay at your house?"
A, you can stay at my house.
B, we're gonna do an interview where we sit down
and we talk to each other.
Then I'm gonna shout out your Instagram,
so maybe you can get a little bit famous depending on
how many views it gets.
Like I would totally do that, right?
The point is, interesting actions
lead to more and more interesting things.
Okay, so that's it, start doing interesting things.
I love you very much.
