Hey everybody I am Sam and this is Emtiversal and you're listening to the
success mindset podcast and today I want to talk about the incredible
extraordinary benefits of thinking long term of going after the long term
success after going after the long term game about having long term goals and
just stop focusing on short term stuff but really looking into perspective and
I just can't stress how really important is that I also want to ask the question
why with humans always kind of preferred the short term goal and you know I just
want to ask that and hopefully urge you to ask yourself because we really need
to every day put effort into limiting this short term thinking and really
focusing on on the long term stuff and you know this is this every around us
right and I'll give just a few examples but you can really apply that to
absolutely everything in to our lives everybody know and look at the three
people that have one from the watery right millions let's say of dollars but
then we don't think about the 23 million people that are losing every day for
years and years we always remember you know that one time that on a roll a in
was Vegas left a right we won like $100 but then we don't remember the thousand
other times that we lost like ten dollars right all this is just this
short-term thinking and the truth is that the short-term thinking and the
short-term gain is the fastest way to losing and never actually achieving
anything that matters because as I said you know all these 33 million people
that let's say weigh their money every day on water right what if they invested
those money right what if they tried and build their
business you know what if they actually put them into education which gave them
let's say better job or they found another portunities and this where the
long term success comes against the short term gain for the short of days
0.0001 percent chance that you wind the water which means that there is like
99.9999 percent chance that you lose all your money and then you don't learn
anything you don't actually have anything back right and by the way that
is why even people that want the lottery they end up losing all their money right
because they haven't worked half who they meet they don't have the mindset of
long term of thinking what you can build of bringing value in creating value
instead of just having some kind of money or game right and this is where we
fail these were people a lot of people fail on the other hand though if you're
thinking long term right if you actually get our money even if it's like $50 a
month if we get those money and try to invest them or try to build let's say on
business write an online business right now their online businesses you
literally can start with $50 or with $200 right think about the long term
opportunity of that compared to the loss you taking right and the best thing is
if we're thinking long term right I talked about education and talked about
business talked about investing there's like literally if we put in the work and
if we put in the time there's like literally anywhere between 95 and 99.9%
chance that we win 95% chance that we win so I'm asking why would you choose
the 0.00% chance even the better thing is if we had the 5% right - if we're the
1% that actually loses thinking long term then we still actually gain because
we gain experience we gain knowledge we understand ourselves we understand other
people we understand how business works we maybe learn something about investing
and we just get some kind of knowledge which we can later still apply and maybe
yes when the first thing long-term you fail maybe on the second thing you fail
but on the third time or in the full time I promise you you succeed this is
just like simple maths and ability right if you put in the time in
the effort there is literally hundred percent chance in the long term you
succeed so I'm asking again why would we choose a short-term game it doesn't make
any sense and who actually is my buddy and I was thinking about this my
birthday back when I was poor like 12 years old when I bought my bike and he
just such a good extraordinary example and so grateful for my mother that she
told me that lesson and this is an amazing example of really the parenting
that children need I remember I was probably like nine years old and I
really wanted a bicycle but my mother came to me and told me I won't buy your
bike right and then you know I'm nine years old right I'm still so little
young but I told to myself right so if I actually want buy a bicycle I need to
find a way I need to work I need to put in my mind and I need to find a way to
find a solution to my problem and on what I started doing is I didn't spend
any money on anything I didn't want so I was going to school right and back in
the base my mother would give me like fifty cents for my breakfast so what I
would do is spend 30 cents on food ten cents on something to drink and I would
save ten cents a day and then obviously on my birthday is like my aunt and my
grandmother and one of my mother's friends let's say right they'll give me
like ten dollars so what I would do is take this ten of five dollars and save
them the other thing I would do is when obviously I was working at the house I
was helping my mother with anything I could but if there was something extra
right that we wouldn't actually do but I was like okay I can put in a little bit
of effort more right to do something more and I will ask my mother okay if I
do that would you give me like 30 cents of 50 cents or daughter or son smile
that's right and you know this money this was just incredible
lesson a first of all understanding how the world works right nothing is given
just like that right everything has a price
it learned me to really think about what I'm spending really thinking about in
the future in the long term and really setting a goal in working hard no matter
how how hard it was and to achieving it because now everybody around me were
bank like you know some kind of sweet stuff right or they would spend their
money on Hanauer pizza or something right and I was saving and you know I
believe it was after two years and a half two years and a half I was nine
years and something right I think on my 12th birthday I bought my bike and you
know I cheated my goal and it felt great and I loved this bike and I still have
it by the way and it's amazing that's just a really simple example of I
believe the thinking we should have and how I actually grew just kind of
thinking into myself and you know even if you are 20 when you're 30 even if you
are 50 you can still do that we can set goals and really understand that it's up
to us to achieve them and you know we work hard we sacrifice we hustle we
grind and we look forward to achieving it thank you for your time please check
