- Conor McGregor's energy is fascinating to me.
On one hand,
you have somebody that is completely
got to a new level of success.
Somebody that is the most successful
and one of the most well-known athletes in the world.
And somebody that's really changed the name of the game
for UFC in general as well.
And somebody that at one point was a double champion,
a champion in two different weight classes.
Then what happens is this person
ends up going and doing boxing
and boxing was something...
I guess, Floyd Mayweather,
that made him over a hundred million dollars.
And after that point,
you see his energy change quite a bit.
Now, the reason I say this is
because I want to point out
some of the energy dynamic differences that I've noticed
and Conor McGregor's energy
from when he was at the top of his game
to where now it seems like he's definitely struggling
for him to remain at the top of where he used to be.
He's trying to get back,
but he's coming up with a lot of resistance in the process.
And what I wanna do is I wanna kinda look at
these different energy dynamics for you to see
because maybe it'll reflect something back to you
on how you can optimize your own energy.
And also just not make some of the same mistakes
because on your journey to success,
you may make some of these mistakes even just as I have
as I become more successful.
So one of the first things I'd like to say is that
Conor McGregor, to me is someone I used to watch a lot.
His fighting, his energy,
even though he is trash talking.
If you're familiar with who he is,
he's in the UFC, he's amazing, charismatic fighter.
Someone that's definitely compared to...
Very entertaining to watch as well.
And back in the day, back in 2015, 2017,
he was probably at the tip top of his game then.
He was winning consistently.
He brought a level of trash talk to the sport
that made it very interesting to watch.
And when I watch UFC, I'm fascinated by UFC.
I watch it.
Every couple of weeks, they'll be a big UFC fight
and I'll watch it.
And what I find fascinating is
the stories behind the UFC themselves.
What UFC has done a great job of
is in their embedded series.
They get you bought in on the character.
They get you interested on the character
and the hero's journey and seeing these people.
And as you see the inside of their lives,
you start to resonate with different ones of them
that then gets you tied in to the sport itself.
So you're no longer just watching
this person against this person's fighting skills,
you're watching their story,
the archetype of this person versus that person.
And if you identify with one of these people,
then you'll want that person to win.
However, in sports,
it's interesting to watch the ego
and how the ego can do
and how the different energy dynamics go at play.
So back in the day,
Conor was this new and upcoming fighter
who came from nothing in Ireland.
He came from Ireland,
said, "One day, I'm gonna be in the UFC."
And within fights,
he ended up working his way up to where then
he did exactly what he said he was gonna do.
He's somebody that also from what I understand,
he speaks it into existence.
He's a big fan of the law of attraction and visualization.
And it definitely worked for him.
He went from no money at all
to an extraordinarily amount of wealth
in a very relatively short period of time.
But one thing I noticed from back in the day
before he was necessarily famous
and as he was on that road
to becoming more and more well-known
and also just more successful in UFC is
he had so much fun in the process of fighting.
He in the process of fighting
and mixed some martial arts
was the end result in of itself.
He was doing it because he loved it.
It was his passion.
And it's funny because
even as I look at myself back in YouTube videos,
I make YouTube videos now three times a week,
when I was making videos
every single day on YouTube back in 2017,
I was so passionate about it.
I love doing it.
I get up every morning,
I'd make my video, I'd edit it.
Every single day, a YouTube video went out.
And I was doing it 'cause I loved.
This was something I was passionate about.
But even as,
that's why I can relate to
parts of Conor's journey through this
because what happened is eventually Conor got very big
and he became a double champion
in two different weight classes.
But then what happened is he lost a fight to Khabib
and then he went and he did boxing.
Boxing against Floyd Mayweather.
That Floyd Mayweather fight, which he's not...
Actually he's more of a mixed martial artist
and boxing is something people do their whole entire lives.
And he put on a great show.
Actually, the last day of my nine to five job,
selling woman's shoes was
the Conor McGregor-Mayweather fight.
So I opened that day, got off at five o'clock,
went to friend's house, watched it.
That was my last day of ever having a nine to five job.
It was a big symbol for me because
I could have quit my nine to five job earlier,
but I wanted to work that day
'cause it was in Vegas at Barneys New York
and it's commissioned job.
So I was like, okay, I know it's gonna be busy that day.
And then I went and watched the fight.
And after that moment, he has his whiskey brand,
from that moment going forward,
he had all the money in the world.
He has all the money in the world.
He's worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
And from being worth hundreds of millions of dollars
and having everything he's always wanted,
he then retired.
And he went from fighting three to five times a year,
doing what he loves to years without doing anything.
And something very interesting happened.
As he and it became more about the money,
he moved into a level of consciousness
where it became all about success, growth and money.
And once that happened,
it took him out of being focused
on what he's passionate about,
which is mixed martial arts and put it on the money
and then everything became about the money.
And the interesting thing is once that happened,
he then remained in it for a while,
has a very successful whiskey company.
That hunger began to go because he got to a certain level
to where there was, what else is there?
He got bored.
My belief is he got bored
after a couple of years of retiring.
He has a Lamborghini, motorboat.
He has all the cars and all the abundance in the world.
He's growing his family now.
But at the same time,
I think what happened is he got off of his passion.
And even fighting to him,
I think was something he really missed.
And what happened is he got back into UFC.
He had one good fight against somebody
that was pretty easy to beat
that was already on his way down.
And then after that,
I've seen him go more and more into his ego
and go more and more to try to hold on
to an old aspect of himself
that isn't no longer resonating. (clears throat)
And he's having to really put on this show
to be this past version of him.
And even it's interesting because
he's an amazing trash-talker
and that has got him to where he is.
And what happened is one of his last fights, he lost.
And one of the things that people said was
you lost because you weren't trash talking.
You weren't being the old you.
So what he did is there were some things that happened
and he lost to this guy named Dustin Poirier
in the second fight that they had against each other.
And then that means there was gonna be a third fight.
And the third fight, he became a dickhead again.
But not just a dickhead,
he became very mean and malicious
and became very serious about what he was doing.
And he's got the old Conor's back.
However, the old Conor wasn't really back.
What happened is he was trying to be the old version of him
and it was isn't authentic anymore.
And you could even see in the trash talking,
he was really reactive.
He really cared what other people thought.
He went deeper into his ego and that ended up requiring
and depleting a lot of energy from himself
and even said things like,
"You're gonna leave in a stretcher."
Maybe it was for a show,
but those are some of the things that you just don't say.
You don't talk about your opponent
actually leaving dead in a stretcher.
And the irony is that he had a freak accident
where he was walking back.
He was losing really badly in this round,
his third fight between Dustin Poirier just recently.
And he goes to step back and his whole ankle just cracks.
Horrible to watch.
And he ended up leaving in a stretcher.
And one thing that Dustin Poirier said is
Conor's a mere and it was a mere that he said that
and he's actually leaving in the stretcher.
And what I think that Conor McGregor needs more
than anything else right now is a consciousness shift,
a consciousness shift,
where he gets back to the spiritual principles
that I think got him to where he was.
The spiritual principles of doing
what you're passionate about and having fun with it.
When I was started to get bigger on YouTube,
it became more about the views
and always having to top myself
and always having to do more than I did before.
And what I found out is that required so much energy.
And even as I look at the past me
as like maybe the past me was better at making videos
and this version of me.
And I look at that,
but if I was to try to be that past version of me,
it would be a lot of energy.
It wouldn't be authentic and you would feel that.
And the thing that I think is important to realize is
the values and the spiritual principles
that got you to where you were or where you are
and regetting to those.
So more than anything,
Conor has an opportunity to go within himself
to really find out what really matters to me,
what am I really passionate about
and that also I have worthy for just being me.
I think part of him might be so tied onto
becoming and gaining his champion status back
or winning again because he's trying to
prove his own sense of self worth or trying to...
He has rules in his mind
as to what it takes for him to feel a certain way.
And that competitive nature can definitely fuel us,
but this is a very different Conor than the old Conor.
The old Conor had fun,
enjoyed the process
and was very much being authentic to where he was.
And then what happened is he went away for a while,
he came back and he was nice.
And because he was nice, he lost.
But that nice was his real him.
It was authentic and people like that.
And then some people,
he let the noise,
he let people outside of himself tell him what to do.
He let people outside of himself tell him who he was.
And then he had to put out all this energy
to be something that no longer was authentic,
something that was in resonance.
And I think what he has the opportunity now
is to go within himself and to really find out who he is
and to almost go through a dark night of the soul as well.
He's got to die to his old ego in a way.
His old ego, he's trying so hard to maintain it.
And the key is to realize, for me at least,
when I make videos,
it's like energy flowing through.
It's not really Aaron and the ego making the videos.
Yes, I talk through my
physical experience and stuff like that,
but it's divine energy that wants to flow through.
And when you look at Khabib, who's one of his opponents,
he's a very religious guy,
but he's always given the energy up to God,
his version of that, whatever religion he has.
And that's the energy is being allowed to flow through him,
even though it's something so primitive as fighting.
But when you start to think it's you doing everything,
the universe many times will slap you on your hand.
But when you recognize
that it's energy that's flowing through,
that it's not just about you,
but it's like there's something greater at play.
It's like the universe comes to your service.
But you have to be more pure,
you have to be more humble.
And he's getting his experiences now.
He's getting slapped on the hand
and he has these opportunities to be humble.
But he may get the message.
He may go more into a shadow for a while
and go deeper into the ego and double down on it,
but I think eventually he'll come out,
have a dark night of the soul and he'll come out
and recognize that the ego is in everything
and there's a spiritual component,
like a Bruce Lee component almost to it that can allow it
and to flow through in an even more powerful way
than you can imagine.
But he literally has to die to his old self.
Not try to recreate that old self,
but come out a completely new version of him,
maybe even a more spiritually in tune version of him.
And really if he's gonna fight,
he's gonna fight 'cause he loves fighting
not because of the status, whatever,
more money he can make and all of that.
Anytime I've done something based on
how much money I can make,
if I'm not passionate about it, it doesn't do well.
But when I do something I'm passionate about,
the money naturally comes.
Money is a side effect of you being you.
Money is a side effect of the process.
Money is not the end result.
If the money becomes the end result,
there's lessons that come involved
and you don't enjoy the process nearly as much.
So Conor I think has the potential
to transform himself through this process,
whether he comes back
and he's as good as he used to be
I think so relevant at this point
because it's more about a spiritual journey of him
becoming aware of who he is
and going through his own layers of self
and letting go of the old ego.
And I think all of us are divine.
Spiritual beings have a temporary human experiences.
And the more fun we have, the more we enjoy the process,
the more the focus is on helping other people
or of adding value,
it's like the universe comes out or service.
But the more we start taking credit for the ego,
we'll get success for a certain period with that,
but eventually it'll slap you on your hand.
It'll slap you and you'll get lessons from that.
So this is my perspective of what's going on
with Conor McGregor's vibration.
And let me know what you think.
Do you notice anything in it, comment below,
like this video if you like this style video.
Is there anybody else or any other energy dynamic
that you'd like me to talk on?
Comment below, let me know.
It's a new style of videos.
Just something I kinda wanted to make a seat.
What you guys thought of this kind of...
It's fascinating for me to look at stuff like this.
I enjoy talking about it.
So let me know.
Other than that, as always, I'll talk to you the next one.
Peace, much love and namaste.
