It's tough to turn it off, and it pushes you to always think about everything. Whenever you see a rich person, your mind immediately asks the question, how did he do it? What did he do to get rich? So when you come across a successful athlete who won multiple trophies, you instantly ask him? How exactly have you been training? What kind of diet do you have? How did you manage to get all of those trophies? Or when you meet a 60-year-old woman who looks like she isn't even 30, you start wondering what kind of skin care products does she use? It might sound, but that's our problem. We are always thinking. We are always asking - how to find a better job, how to start your own business, what books to read, how to find a girlfriend, what to eat to stay healthy! Let me explain. Just think about it. We have a clean, nice, beautiful lake where different kind of fish is swimming. Everything seems perfect, but then suddenly we decide to build a factory right beside the lake so that we have somewhere to throw all the garbage that the factory produces. So what happens Overtime, the lake deteriorates, it gets dirty, the fish starts dying because the lake is getting dryer year after year. Then we realize that we have transformed a lovely peaceful lake into the dirty trash. So what do we do! We have to save the lake! We send experts or the environmentalists to take the proper measures. Clean it from all the dirt that has been generated, do some research and Pour some minerals into it and populate it with new fish! Just imagine, we had an absolutely gorgeous lake with lots of different fine fish and we spent a lot of resources to destroy it, and now we want to spend even more resources to heal it back. Isn't that stupid? That's precisely what we do with ourselves. We always ask - what should we do! When instead we should be asking an utterly opposite question - what we should NOT do! I mean what didn't the rich man do to get rich compared to the poor man! He didn't waste his money on useless crap that he doesn't need. He didn't spend his time watching useless shows and so on. What didn't the old woman do to stay in perfect shape! She didn't eat every crap that looks delicious. She didn't drink soft drinks every single day! Just think about how insane we are. Like literally, we eat burgers, EAT chocolates, drink coca cola and then ask what should we do to have better skin or how to cure diabetes. We smoke a pack of cigarettes a day and then ask how to cure cancer. Exactly as it is in the case of the lake. You had a perfect skin or a healthy body, and you merely shouldn't have done anything about it in the first place. And the worst part of it is that. After filling our brains with all of that garbage, we ask ourselves, what else we can add so that finally we can fix everything! Sometimes people ask me, what should I do to be more productive? To have more time to achieve my goals? And my answer is always simple and easy! Stop doing all the things that don't matter! Stop wasting so much time on social media, stop watching every youtube video that you come across, by the way, that doesn't apply to my channel Just a little disclaimer, I am not claiming that you should not do anything and out of nothing, everything is going to be absolutely glamorous. But rather to avoid multiple problems in our lives, we should cut a lot of things from our life. Hope this video was helpful, thanks for watching and I will catch you in the next one.
