you are the ruler of your life you're the one on the throne calling the shots it might not seem
like this all the time your parents might try to pressure you into doing certain things but they
are no longer on the throne now you call the shots which means you determine whether or not you win
or lose if you feel like a loser it means you've been on a losing streak you've been making wrong
decisions and they're haunting you replaying in your head making you believe and feel like an
actual loser to combat this all you have to do is start winning but of course this is easier
said than done it's pretty hard to make the right decisions and to do the right things especially
in this rapidly changing world of ours what's the right thing to study the right thing to invest in
the right diet the right way to live life there are so many choices we have to make in life
how do we increase our chances of making the right ones well every great ruler has a great court a
wise and diverse council of advisors people that you can go to for advice and motivation whenever
you have to make a major decision if you want to stop feeling like a loser you must surround
yourself with the right people today i'm going to tell you the types of people you must have
on your council and where to find them first we have the fortune teller if someone is right about
the future more than 80 percent of the time they are a fortune teller these people either have a
great understanding of human nature are really good with numbers or have access to information
before others this allows them to spot trends and uncover truths that everyone else is oblivious to
you see what's funny about the world is that the masses are usually wrong most people are
just copying what others are doing or what the media tells them to do fortune tellers on the
other hand come to their own conclusions based on all the data that they process in the big old
brain of theirs people like this are very rare you probably won't find any in real life but luckily
we have the internet so we can follow them online some examples of fortune tellers that i watch like
a hawk are Naval Ravicant who is really good at spotting tech trends Pentoshi who is a twitter
personality that's good at reading the crypto markets and Neil howe the author of "the fourth
turning" who basically predicted all of the crises that the world is facing today it's important to
have more than one fortune teller on your council so that you can see multiple perspectives about
the future this will not guarantee that you make the right choice but it certainly does increase
your chances the second type of person you need on your council is the monk monks are the most
disciplined people that you know this is someone who sticks to every good habit you can think of
and still manages to have the time to outwork everyone else the monk is someone you need not
for the advice they give but because simply being near one will motivate you to get your
life together you see not taking action on the right move is the same as making the wrong move
and monks help prevent this now unlike the fortune teller the monk is someone you need to keep close
fortune tellers only need to be visited once a month their predictions often don't come true for
years on the other hand speaking with a monk for just five minutes will immediately motivate you
some good examples of monks are David goggins and Jocko both of which are navy seals but ideally you
should find a monk in real life because it's more motivating when you are closer to one if you have
a hard time finding people like this you could consider joining our discord community where there
are tons of people building habits and trying to be more productive i will link to how you can join
in the description box below next up we have the expert the expert is a trained professional who
focused many years of their life on a specific subject most experts act like mercenaries
traveling from kingdom to kingdom doing their best to help rulers in exchange for coin the
reason you want to have experts on your council is because it's literally their job to help you win
some examples of experts are lawyers accountants doctors and financial planners these people have
seen thousands of scenarios play out with hundreds of other rulers so they have a knack of being able
to spot the right move one very important thing to note though is that being an expert does not
mean they know the right move a hundred percent of the time experts are often deceived which is
why it's best to listen to multiple experts with different opinions before making a major move
now there is a very specific type of expert that is extremely beneficial to have on your council
and that's a therapist a therapist is an expert of the mind someone who helps you think about the
way you think this is incredibly important because our thoughts literally create the reality that we
live in you could have a terrible life but still feel happy if your mindset is good enough which is
why this episode was sponsored by better help if you've been having a hard time reaching the goals

join over a million people who are currently using the platform the next type of person you
need on your council is the shaman the shaman is someone who is spiritual and extremely open
to new experiences and ideas the real shamans of the past and many great shamans of today
often use substances or meditation to access different states of mind in order to explore such
ideas the reason shamans are important is because they help us become flexible the greatest rulers
are the ones that are open to all ideas no matter how strange or unconventional they may sound
often times the best move is a move that sounds so foreign that most shrug it off as nonsense it
might be something that goes against all of their beliefs about how the world works fortune tellers
tell you what might happen next monks motivate you to take action experts watch your back to
make sure you don't make mistakes shamans open up your mind so when you come across the right choice
you're more willing to believe that it might be the right one remember people who are not flexible
with their thinking are more likely to fail in life because the game is constantly changing some
examples of great shamans are philosophers like lao tzu alan watts and douglas adams who happens
to be elon musk's favorite philosopher finding a shaman in real life can be difficult they're
usually that one quirky person that we know who's always doing or thinking about something new every
time we bump into them so if you can find one keep them close and finally we have the challenger
the challenger someone who likes to debate and challenge your ideas they enjoy pointing out
potential flaws in your thinking to which you will be forced to come up with a way to prove
them wrong countering their statement if you cannot counter then it means that you do not have
a full understanding of this move that you think is the right one which is very useful as it shows
you which areas you need to do more research on challengers are quite common i know dozens of them
in real life the problem is that it's tough to find one who uses facts instead of emotions as a
way to debate most people nowadays on social media will attack the person making the argument instead
of the logic and you also want to find one who can identify false information many challengers who
do use facts and logic to push back on ideas are unable to see how data and news is often corrupted
things like propaganda and manipulated studies are far more common than most think some examples
of amazing challengers are people like jordan peterson and sam harris although you're probably
not gonna find someone that's at this level in real life which is fine because watching a video
of them debate online can still show you flaws in your thinking and regularly having debates with
average skilled challengers in real life can still be very useful if you find a decent one keep them
close and share all of your planned moves with them to see what things they push back on so to
sum things up find advisors for your council and go to them when you have to make major decisions
in life this will increase your chances of winning in the game of life i hope this video was helpful
and again if you want to surround yourself with more of these types of people i suggest you check
out our patreon which will give you access to our discord community besides that guys stay tuned
