In the next few minutes, I’m gonna say something that is NOT in my best interest.
In fact, it might make some of you stop watching my videos completely.
But that’s fine.
If you stop watching my videos as much after this, it’s OK because then it means I got
through to you… it means that my videos finally achieved their purpose of turning
you into the best man you can be.
My purpose of helping you trespass into the realm of THE GODS.
Proceed with caution my friend because I’m about to tell you why all of the YouTube advice
on self-help is ruining your life.
The MAJOR problem is YOU.
You lie to yourself about what you’re doing when you’re watching this.
Let me explain… make sure you’re holding on to something.
The problem with self-help advice on YouTube is that it’s infotainment.
You watch the video, then take no action.
You feel good about yourself because now you have knowledge, but you don’t do anything
with it.
You think knowledge is enough.
It’s not.
“If all it took was knowledge, we'd all be billionaires with six-pack abs.”
Shoutout to Derek Sivers for that quote!
Nobody has enough time to actually implement every single thing they watch in a video because
if they did, they wouldn’t have time to watch the vids, they’d be too busy doing
shit!
If you’re watching this video right now, there’s a good chance you’re trapped in
the following cycle.
You watch a video, you laugh once or twice, you think to yourself oh yeah that makes sense,
then you click onto another video, or you open up pornhub or Netflix or only fans and
jerk off into oblivion.
Rinse, at least I hope so, and then Repeat the next day.
It’s a vicious cycle plaguing viewers in this genre.
You think that if you just watch ONE more video….
You’ll find some special life-changing knowledge that will change your life forever…
This is the root of the problem.
You don’t lack knowledge.
You have enough knowledge.
You have too much fuckin’ knowledge bro!
You quite literally have all the knowledge in the world on your phone and you’re still
not doing the shit you say you want!
You lack action.
You lack purpose.
You lack a game plan.
I’m gonna ask you a deep question that you probably don’t have the answer to… what
is your purpose?
Why do you do the things you do, bro?
What are you hoping to achieve by watching video after video on how to look better, think
better, and BE better?
You’re trying to become someone or something that you’re clearly not already.
You’re watching to change yourself… at least that’s probably how you started watching
these videos.
Let me ask you a question that I don’t need the answer to.
You need to answer it for yourself…
Are you REALLY watching these videos to expand your knowledge and learn?
Or has it just become another addiction or habit that you can’t kick?
It’s easy to FEEL productive if you’re watching videos on how to improve yourself
and become a better person, but are these videos ACTUALLY making you a better person?
Can you draw a direct line from what you saw in a video, to what you’re doing right now?
Can you do that for every self-help video you’ve seen?
Are you a better person after 5 minutes of watching a YouTube video?
Have you magically gained substance as an individual from a 7 minute video?
Of course not!
Just think about how stupid that sounds.
The videos don’t work unless YOU do.
And most of the videos, you’re better off without.
You’re better off cutting out 99% of the content you digest and instead focusing that
effort on just becoming a better person.
Putting in the time to actually do it instead of putting in the time to “learn” how
to do it.
Watching videos on how to do something is NOT the same as doing the thing.
NOt even close.
People who are serious about doing something, don’t ask for permission, and they don’t
ask 1 million questions… they just DO.
They go and figure it out.
If shit goes wrong along the way, they fix it.
When they stumble upon a specific problem or issue, they try to fix it themselves.
If that doesn’t work, they look for help, they use the internet for help, they’ll
watch a video or two then laser-focus right back to the problem, they ask other people
who are knowledgeable and then they go and do what they learned.
This idea that “one more video” is going to be the solution or key to solving all your
problems is INSANE.
The only thing that can solve your problems is YOU.
The information in these videos is a supplement, NOT a cure.
If you watch all of my videos twice, take notes, but do NOTHING with the information,
your life isn’t going to change.
It’ll be exactly the same.
It’s no better than watching Netflix all day, or picking out OnlyFans subscriptions.
My videos are to inspire you into action.
It’s why I don’t upload every single day.
You don’t need to hear my voice every single day.
A few times a week is more than enough.
The videos are a guide… they fill the space in-between your journey.
But you need to be on a journey for them to be helpful.
And more importantly than being on a journey, you need to get to the destination.
Watching videos all day every day isn’t getting you closer to your destination, it’s
keeping you stuck in the same place.
People like to say that “it’s about the journey, not the destination” but that’s
a HUGE hunking load of crap.
“If there was no destination to reach, you wouldn’t go on a journey in the first place.”
Shoutout Kapil Gupta for that quote.
The videos you consume every single day have turned you into a prisoner… an addict…
waiting and searching eagerly for your next hit… for your next little high.
This is not what self-improvement was meant for.
It totally misses the point.
When it becomes about consuming more self-improvement content rather than actually improving yourself,
you’ve arrived at the polar opposite of self-improvement.
This is where most people who consume this content have arrived.
Watching it for entertainment value more than anything else.
Now is it OK that the content is also entertaining?
Absolutely.
My videos are entertaining as fuck!
I watch my own videos and laugh my ass off!
Some of my videos are just funny stuff for entertainment, they’re not all advice!
That’s perfectly OK.
We all need to laugh and learn at the same time, regularly.
If you can laugh and learn at the same time, then that’s great!
The issue comes when you start to convince yourself that you’re being productive or
that you accomplished something by watching the video.
The video is the first step.
It’s to inspire action.
If you’re just watching for entertainment that’s fine, but don’t lie to yourself
about what you’re doing.
If you’re here to learn then the video is only the first step.
YOU need to finish the rest of it.
Keep up your end of the deal.
I’ll keep making videos that entertain you, that help you, that provide you with amazing
knowledge to the best of my ability.
But i can’t tell you what’s the right thing for you to do after that.
You have to find it for yourself.
Let videos like mine and other people’s be a part of it, not the whole thing.
You weren’t put on this earth to watch other people live life all day.
It’s time you start living your own life.
So go my disciple, go do it.
Oh and while you’re at it, go ahead and subscribe so next time you need a kick in
the ass reality check, you know I’m the only god here on YouTube who’s gonna give
it to ya straight.
And for those of you who are struggling with your dating life right now, and liked this
straight to the point, no BS, no fluff approach to improving your life, then stick around
to the end of this video because I got something for ya.
And since it’s Based Zeus you know it’s going to be the same cold-hard facts, nothing
more, nothing less.
Watch the outro of this video
and I’ll see
you on the inside.
Zeus out.
