Hello Aluxers and welcome back to this Sunday Motivational video!
Today we’ll be breaking down several painful truths that you will inevitably have to overcome
at some point in your life, so why not take the time today to prepare.
You’re not gonna like many of the things you’ll hear but by the end of the video
you’ll be grateful you did.
Hopefully you will find this valuable!
Here are 15 Painful truths you will need to deal with!
Number 1: Everyone you know will eventually die - including you
Too many people are scared of death, so much so that they spend their lives trying to avoid
it to the point where they’re no longer living.. They are just.. Alive.
This is a valuable reminder that your parents are here for a limited amount of time.
That the friends you have will inevitably fade out one after the other, unless you’re
the first one to go.
Our mind does this weird trick on us where no matter how much you tell it that one day
it will no longer exist, the little voice inside your head refuses to accept it. It
intellectualizes it, but deep down the voice can not comprehend itself not existing. Try
it now and see what happens!
This point is not meant to scare you, but wake you up to realise that as cheesy as it
sounds, today is actually a gift - which is why they call it the Present!
Number 2: We are what we settle for In life, you will go as far as you’re willing
to keep going.
As long as you live you will never hear truer words.
People settle low all the time. They settle for jobs that make them miserable. They settle
for relationships that are just ok.. They settle for cities where nothing ever happens..
They settle for less than they wish they got.
Run the experiment long enough and you end up filled with regret. You don’t do your
job well and your partner isn’t happy because you’re not happy.
Just take a moment to think about it: Instead of living with no regrets, you regret
where you’re living!
All of this is under your control, unless you settle.
Number 3: Life is a game of overcoming failure and struggles
Life is constantly throwing obstacles your way just to see what happens. It’s the universe's
way of figuring out who you are actually meant to be in the puzzle it’s building.
The simplest rule of all is: never stop. Never give up.
As long as there’s breath inside of your lungs, give it another go.
Mountains seem uncrossable until you get to the peak and the only way to get there is
to keep putting one foot in front of the other.
For every difficult problem you solve, the universe will reward you with something amazing.
Think back on your life and the moments you thought there’s no way you will overcome
a difficulty.. What happened next? How did it feel to know you’ve conquered your fears
and managed to solve it in time? What was the aftermath of those choices?
People don’t reflect back on their lives enough, for if they did, they would see that
for every problem they face in their life right now, there’s already a solution or
a combination of solutions that they’ve used in the past.
Number 4: Easy choices - hard life, Hard choices - Easy life
Fundamentally, this is what makes the difference. This is why you see some individuals thriving
and others struggling.
This rule applies to everyone, no matter where you were born, your financial status, no matter
your gender or sexual preference.
It applies to everyone equally and as long as you will make the hard choices in life
you will win, given enough time for those decisions to generate outcomes.
Number 5: Everyone thinks they can, but very few actually do
We all think we have potential, because we do. When we are children, that’s all we
are: potential.
This little creature could become something great. Statistically speaking, it will probably
end up like everyone else. But because you’re in the body you are right now, you’ve experienced
your entire life for a first perspective. In your story you are the star because everything
is in relation to how you perceive it.
But At one point in your journey something clicks. It’s the moment you realise this
money isn’t about you, that other people are the main characters in the story you’re
living and you’re just there as an extra.
We believe we are destined for greatness, but destiny doesn’t work unless you do.
Some people make it their mission to push the limits of what their destiny allows them
to do. They rewrite it because they didn’t like the terms they got in the beginning.
That’s the people who make it.
The people who use everything in their power to alter reality based on their wishes.
They plan, they sacrifice, they set goals in such a way that they eventually achieve
them. And once you see it working, you become addicted. If this worked once, what can I
do next?!
These people use specific tools and methods that help them keep improving their odds of
success, tools and methods we’ve personally used to get ourselves in the fortunate position
we find ourselves in. We took out all the bullshit and kept only the most valuable and
effective insights and put it all in a course called GOAL MASTERY that we’re launching
NEXT SUNDAY and will be available for purchase at alux.com/goals.

We created this group for people like you to hang out in and sometimes we do these fun
challenges with the community!
Number 6: Being busy doesn’t mean you’re productive
Sometimes you keep running at full speed and still it doesn’t seem like much gets done.
Your life is still a mess.
For some reason people seem to think that the busier you are, the more successful you
seem to others, when it’s quite the opposite.
Many think this happens because they don’t have enough time, when in reality it’s a
priority system that they’re missing.
You’re too busy pursuing URGENT things and disregard the IMPORTANT ones - and we both
know that the important ones push your life forward.
Number 7: What you own is not who you are It takes being able to afford almost everything
to realise that you don’t really want it or need it. We know… this sounds like “rich
people talk” but know that it is the truth.
The moment you are able to afford something, it loses its appeal. We love luxury and beautiful
products, but once they’re out of the store and in your house their magic fades away and
revert to their utility status. Gucci shoes become.. Well.. just shoes.
But when you’re young and naive you tie your identity to material things, because
these are what you hold on a higher status.
I want you to pay very close attention to what we’re about to say next:
To love is very different than to own! - let that sink in.
Love pays out dividends regularly, while the things you own require you to pay rent regularly
- it’s just that the rent is paid in time so most people don’t notice it.
Number 8: You are just not the right fit for certain people
Not everybody you’ll meet will fit in your life puzzle and you won’t fit in someone
else’s. When this happens it’s just best to move on.
Sometimes we all get a bit carried away, we make big plans thinking about the bigger picture
only to realise the pieces don’t fit.
The sooner you figure that out the sooner you can go looking for the right piece.
Number 9: It’s not other people’s job for you to be happy, healthy or to love you
- do it yourself People expect others to come into their life
and change everything. You hope that one day you’ll find that really fit person who for
some reason will make it their life’s mission to get you into shape.
You think that somehow the love of your life will end up on your doorstep and teach you
how to love.
Above everything, you expect other people to actively contribute to your happiness..
All because of the bias you have towards yourself as we mentioned at number 5.
Happiness is a choice.
Health is a choice.
Love might require other people, but self-love is a choice.
What you need is to start making better choices.
Number 10: Your mind is a scary place, unless you tame it
Most people let their minds run on autopilot, the same way you don’t notice you’re breathing
until you make it the subject of your focus. Sorry for switching your breathing to manual
mode by the way!
The truth is, we are all dealing with demons others know nothing about.. It’s not just
you!
Some days we manage to put these demons in cages and other times we even force them to
work in our favor. But these are demons nonetheless.
The moment we forget to keep them in check they start screwing with everything we care
for as revenge.
It gets to a point where people decide to end their lives in the hopes that these voices
will stop. Be there for your friends, that’s all you can do.
If you’re feeling like this becomes dangerous to your well being, why not see a professional?
Nobody needs to know. Self-help is a form of self-love and as we just found out, it’s
your job to love yourself.
As for just keeping the demons in check, we found meditation works best. We traveled half-way
around the world when we built our meditation course: Mind Mastery to make sure you’re
getting the results you’re after. It’s available for purchase right now at alux.com/meditation
It’s a 21 day challenge where at the end you install this valuable skill in your system.
As with all our products, if you buy it and for any reason you believe you didn’t get
your money’s worth, we will provide you with a full refund.
Number 11: You don’t have to wait for an apology to forgive
We know people who’ve been carrying around some sort of anger for years because they
don’t want to seem like they lost an argument.
Looking back on your life on your deathbed can you believe how pitiful this is?
Friendships end, family relationships are broken and work partnerships fail because
of ego.
Your ego is blocking your way to a better life.
Number 12: You can’t save everyone No matter how hard you try there will always
be someone out there you can’t save - actually there’s gonna be a bunch of them.
You’re not here to save everyone, you’re here to save yourself and then the people
who want to be saved. Be like Jesus!
The painful truth here is that many try to save others although they can’t even save
themselves.
Please remember this: A sinking ship can not save anyone!
Fix your ship and then see who you’re willing to take onboard.
Number 13: Everything is in constant change - every second
If the past few years have taught us anything, is just how quickly everything changes. The
future the jetsons predicted is now. We are the jetsons. [put this photo up at high rez
while we say that]
Nothing done today will be done in the same way 20 years from now. The world we’re living
in is changing so quickly you’re missing it.
You are getting older.
Your priorities shift. Your perception changes. You learn what the world is like, but before
you’re able to process it, the world has already changed again.
That’s why you see so many angry old people. The world changed slower back in their day
and now they’re unsure what the hell is happening.
The best you can do is hold on and get ready, for this is going to be a bumpy ride.
Number 14: Better late than never, but too late is pointless
Don’t wait. Time doesn’t care about you, it’s too busy doing its own thing and pushing
everyone into the future.
Sometimes if you wait too long the opportunity has passed. So be ready. Be ready with everything
you’ve got, for when that opportunity door opens, sprint right through it and don’t
stop.
Timing is probably the most valuable thing one should master, for if the timing is right
everything is substantially easier. It’s easier to sail with the wind than against
it.
And the best thing about timing, you only need to time it right once and your life changes
because of it.
Number 15: You create most of the problems in your life
Yep, we decided to end on this, because why not piss off everybody who’s struggling
right now - especially with the covid situation still looming on us. Our safeway out is the
word MOST. There are of course some problems that are out of your control.
You can’t control the weather, but if you didn’t bring an umbrella that’s on you!
Think about almost every problem in your life right now and what you could’ve done to
prevent it.
People love to play victim. It’s easier to do so, to justify your reality sucking
because some external force outside of your control has decided to screw with you particularly.
The hard pill to swallow here is that it ain’t the truth. We like to think that everything
good in our life is because of our effort and everything bad is caused by someone else.
What if you were to flip it around?! Everything good in your life is the result of other people
helping you get there.. While everything that sucks is the result of you not being prepared
enough for what was about to happen.
This change in perception yields better results for everyone in the long term. So be grateful
for the fortunate position you find yourself in and make it your mission to give back.
There’s tremendous value in every single one of these, but we’re curious to know:
Which of these painful truths did you relate to the most? Let us know where you stand in
the comments!
As for those of you watching until the very end, here’s your bonus, you’ve earned
it!
Bonus: Just because you spent a lot of time making a mistake doesn’t mean you should
keep doing it
Some people are overinvested in bad ideas. Just because you’ve put half your chips
on the table on what was initially a bluff doesn’t mean you should go all in. If you
do, you’re gonna lose.
The problem with going all in consistently despite the evidence is that you’re not
playing a game where you need to be right EVERY SINGLE TIME for you to win and we both
know it’s just a matter of time until you don’t.
In life you want to play long term games where you’ve got many rounds in the chamber with
the hopes that you get one right and it’s enough. Get many of them right and you will
live exceptionally, but even one could make the difference.
The problem begins where you’re risking it all over and over again. Stop being overleveraged.
Stop gambling away your future.
Hopefully this gold nugget will be the answer some of you were looking for, as for the rest,
there’s always next Sunday!
If you’ve made it to this point, please write: DEAL WITH IT in the comments, as a
way to show that you’re dealing with whatever difficulty you’re overcoming right now and
as a tribute to the meme.
