The first thing is the presentation of innocence.

Because usually, when someone does something that they label as bad, they will start to consciously or subconsciously rationalize why they did that thing.

And you will hear them say stuff like, well, I only did it because you were doing it too, I saw it.

Or, I only did it because I thought you were doing it.

Or, well, I only did this because that's what everyone else is doing.

Or you'll hear people say, well, I did this because of my trauma and my past, I don't know any better.

What's happening here is they're trying to present themselves as something that they're not.

They're trying to create an illusion.

They're trying to create a block between you and reality through these lies that they're telling themselves.

And this is the scary thing.

These people are not lying to you, they're lying to themselves.

And lying to yourself is the guaranteed way to become dependent, to become weak, to become disempowered to the point where you can't accomplish anything in your life.

And true power, true change in your life starts with you empowering yourself, which starts with you taking complete ownership and accountability with every single aspect in your life.

Go to your bank account and look how much money is in it.

That money is there or not there because of the decisions that you made.

Look at your relationships, look at your past relationships.

All of those things happen 100% because of you.

And I'm saying this to you not to make you feel bad, I'm saying this to you because I love you and I want you to succeed.

And this is actually step one to being successful.

And the second thing that you need to stop doing is you need to stop thinking that the world is this really bad, evil place where everyone is out to try to get you.

Because the truth is, is that your world is a reflection of your reality.

It's a reflection of you.

So if every single person in your life is lying and they're doing all these horrible things, that's because that's within you.

For me personally, everyone in my life is amazing.

My friends are so honest.

They're all successful.

They're caring.

We talk about starting charities.

Those are the people in my life because that's a reflection of myself.

And the reason why you won't hear any YouTuber talking about this because this content does not get views.

What gets views is me saying, oh no, it's not your fault.

It's the government.

It's the economy because that makes you feel good because it removes accountability.

Like I said, I love you too much and I care about you too much to tell you lies.

I love you so much that I am going to empower you right now.

The third thing that you need to stop doing is you need to stop living your life as though you are never going to die.

I swear to God, the number one prescription for making every single person in the world way happier is to give them perspective.

And the way that you give someone perspective is through telling them you are going to die.

You are not 20 years old.

You have 60 years left to live.

Then you are going to die.

Your skin is going to get wrinkled.

Your hair is going to fall out.

Your heart is going to stop beating.

And because of this, why are you getting mad at such little things?

Why are you being so disrespectful to your partner, the person who you say you're going to spend the rest of your life with, the person who's supposed to die beside you?

Why are you treating them with such disrespect?

I actually think if every single person had to be reminded of the fact that they are going to die one day, the entire world would change and everyone would be a lot more happy.

The fourth thing that you need to stop doing is stop putting off the thing that you know that you should do.

If you need to make more money, why are you watching Netflix?

Why are you doing anything if you're close to being homeless?

If you're someone who has money and your dating life is atrocious, no one likes you, no one is dating you, how is that not your main priority?

You should make money to sustain your life then put all of your energy into your dating life.

Life is not that complicated.

Define what your goal is and then start behaving in a way that will get you to that goal.

It's literally that simple.

And the fifth thing that everyone needs to stop doing is stop being stupid and start using common sense.

Because the truth is, is most people know how to get most things in life.

If you want to get jacked and shredded in the gym, you know you should go to the gym.

But Mitch, I don't know a workout to do.

Then go research it.

We have the internet, same with diet, same with even making money.

There's endless videos talking about how to make money.

Just start watching them and start implementing.

When it comes to dating, well, Mitch, no one likes me right now.

My dating life is horrible.

How many people have you approached this week?

You know that your dating life is not going to be good unless you actually start talking to people.

So go start talking to people.

And if you don't know the how behind all of these things, just start researching and start trying.

I'm telling you, life is extremely simple.

However, it is specific and it is difficult to do these things.

I like to think of life as one big cold shower.

It's not really complicated to get into a cold shower.

It's not that complicated to approach the track, the person on the street, but it is hard.

But you will have to do it at some point.

And you're welcome to look at different methods and different processes on how to do it.

But you have to start doing it.

Going back to the thing you have to stop doing, stop pretending that you're going to live forever.

Those are the five things that you need to stop doing.
