[Music] Like a bow, so it says the most important thing is avoiding the false path. Most people will want to guide you towards the direction of the false path, and the reason why is because the false path is conformity. The false path is conforming to people; it is working at that job that everybody works in, working at that machinery that everybody works with, following your father's job, um, working in the family business because everybody in your family has done it, right? It is pretty much, it is pretty much following the herd, all right. And you're gonna find you're gonna get a lot of resistance from people if you try to follow this path because they want you to conform. You know, you, by following, by not following the false path, you naturally do not follow money, and to some people, particularly your parents, that is very concerning, especially if you come from collective cultures like Indian people [__], Asian people, and stuff like that, right? So nobody's going to help you find that path because everybody wants you to conform; everybody wants you to do things that look good on the outside, everybody. And also, you're getting the pressure; your friends are getting new jobs, and it looks like they're making a lot of money, right? So it feels like you're behind when you follow your purpose in life; it feels like you're getting behind when you follow your purpose in life, right? So because of that, you are, you, you're pretty much on your own; nobody's going to be here to help you. What everyone wants you to do, though, is they want you to conform. If you want to find your originality, you are on your own; you're going to have to believe in yourself; you're going to have to make a sacrifice; you're going to have to take the risk, right? So you must learn. So, as a result of this, right, you might be working at a job that you hate; you might be, you might be having to pick a career to have to take, or even you might be at a job that you've been in for many years and you resent. But what you must do, the most important thing you must do, is foresee the changes in your profession that's going to come in the future, right? Foresee if you're working as a doctor, or even that's like a truck driver, right? Let's just assume truck driving, right? You got to foresee the changes that's going to happen in your career. You know, you're going to, you're going to have to see that some, that you're, that that you're going to have to be able to look into the future so that you sort of don't allow things to come to you; you rather come to it. You want to predict how the environment in your work environment is going to change, right? Like again, like automation is the big one, right? Or even artists, right? For example, when the cam, when the camera came and stuff like that. Let's just keep going, people; I'm very slow right now.
Um, so what you must do is remain flexible, or else you'll fall behind the times, right? So what you must do is this, man, is that if you're working at a job that you hate, you have to find a way to, in a way, like apply what you love, apply your skills to that job. So let's just listen, like for example, Einstein. Einstein worked as a, I forgot what he worked with, as he worked out as an editor or something like that, right? But what he would do, though, is that he worked as an editor; it was a job that allowed him to be able to do thought experimenting, right? So he picked the job that helped him do thought experiments on the side. So the first priority that, that, that, um, that Einstein had was to find a job that allows him to wonder from time to time, right? So he got a job as an editor, I believe; don't call me, I could be wrong. But once he finished his job, then he would daydream about about physics and science and stuff like that, right? And it was that moment, those little moments of him being able to visualize and to do thought experiments, is what eventually led to him discovering quantum mechanics and whatever the hell that all that is, right? In other words, is that if you're, for example, me, I used to work at a jail, right? And when I was working out of jail, I used to bring a lot of books because, because I worked at night; I specifically desired, I specifically asked them to let me work at night. Why? Because I knew all of the prisoners were [__] asleep, first of all. I'm safe; okay, I'm not gonna get stabbed that night. And the other thing is that while they were asleep, I will read a bunch of biographies, that will be reward buff his biography; I will read a bunch of [__], and I was on Adderall at that time, which is not healthy, but I was [__] reading through [__], right? I remember, let me show you this, let me show you this; these actually, it's funny, I never showed you guys this; these are actually the notes that I used to take while I was working there, right? These are the notes that I would take while I was working there, Adderall, Adderall. But these are all the notes I would take, all the notes, you know, just insights, you know, just all of the notes that I would take, right? I used to put it like business book, right? Mind you that was my mindset back then, right? So these are all of the notes that I would take, you know, why? Because when I was there, I had to, I had a lot of free time; it was nighttime; I took Adderall because it was nighttime. People, I couldn't, I couldn't, I couldn't keep, I couldn't stay awake. But what I'm trying to say is that if you're, if you're, what you must do is avoid the false path. So if you had a job that you hate, first of all, if you cannot, if that job doesn't leave you the energy to get home and then be able to do what you love, you got to find a job that pays less but, but gives you, but, but leaves you with some mental energy so that when you, so that when you get home, you could then do that thing you got to do, like draw or paint, or you know what I'm saying? Like don't pick a job that pays more money but that leaves you completely empty mentally. So what I did is I picked a job that was difficult, but it gave me the opportunity to take all of these notes, right? It's crazy reading these notes, man. Oh, look at this, right? These are the visual; I used to visualize, right? And I used to write down how my future is going to be. Listen to this; this was in 2015. You want to listen to what I wrote? Look at, listen to this, and this is, I used to write this down and while visualizing it for my goals, watch this is what I used to do. This, this is me predicting the future, right? Watch: You walk up from your brownstone; mind you, at that time I was broke, lived with my mom in New York City, no YouTube at that time, right? It's crazy. You walk up, you wake up from your brownstones, uh, one story of 14th Street with blank; I can't say what that blank is. The window facing the beds, no, the room is facing the backyard; you see the window facing the bed; the room is brown floor; um, I have a meditation cushion and a yoga mat next to the bed; I have white walls and the Larry Bird poster on the right and a white board on the right as well. I wake up and see my girl, right, brunette; oh, I'm giving you guys my type, right? The bed was, is an orthopedic bed, memory foam, and I have black sheets, a lot of big pillows, right? You get up and you go, and you, you get up and you do your to-do list; you see it's a Monday, which means it's miscellaneous day, miscellaneous meeting and analysis; you enjoy because those are what, that's what leads to growth. You see your to-do list and you say, and, and your to-do list says creative writing, because at that time I wanted to be a writer, right? Um, and my to-do list says yoga, meditation, meeting with business partner, meeting with mentor, write, practice for 20 minutes, work out for 20 minutes, and then at night meet the mastermind. I begin with three pages of creative writing; um, I then do 15 minutes of yoga and then 15 minutes of meditation, and it says you enjoy the process because you love yoga and meditation; you feel physically fit and limber. You then go on your laptop and begin writing 20 minutes for AskMen articles; um, you then check off meditation, yoga, writing; like I take it off, like I just finished it, right? Um, right, what else? Holy [__] man, I mean, I just pretty much, like I just pretty much use that moment for finding my life's task, right? So it's kind of like, that's the first thing you make sure that you don't let the parent job that you're in divert you from what you got to do. You gotta, you gotta make this like a life and death situation that you have to find it, right? If change is forced upon you, like I was, or even now, right? Right now, change is forced upon us; no, um, you must adapt to it and not resent it, right? So it's kind of like we're here right now, right? And you're saying, oh, I couldn't do what I got to do; do not resent the fact that you can't do what you got to do; do not resent that reality; what you want to do, all right ladies, I hope you guys enjoyed that that video, which is part of my Robert Greene Book Club, which you could become a member, become a toxic gang member and join because, in, in this, in the Mindful Attraction Academy, you get videos I don't post on YouTube that I would never post on YouTube, specifically for those who pay, and it's very cheap; it's like a cup of coffee, right? Let me, let me just, let me explain to you, right? The one dollar per month, you guys can get one video per month; I don't post on YouTube, right? And that's pretty much for people who just want to support me because I know a lot of you guys want to do this, right? The second one is the five dollar per month, which is the cup of coffee one, right? Which I call it the Purposeful Gang, where you get two videos, two or three videos per week that I don't post on YouTube anywhere else, okay? After that, you get the 10 per month where I'll give you credit in each video that I edit, so that's like one video per week; you get the credit; you can put dickweed in it, and I'll still put dickweed in the credits, right? So it doesn't matter; you could prank me in that way; who cares, right? After that, you get the, you get, you become part of the book club where I post videos two times a month, right? And these videos are based on the Robert Greene book club, uh, the Robert Greene book, and I go over all of his books, right? So I put the videos in, in the form of videos and in form of audio so that you guys can actually download it. Oh, sorry, so that you guys can actually download it when I'm not there, right? You see this is part of it; it's just how it is; it's pretty cool, right? So, so that's the 20, that's the 20 per month, and then after that you have the 25 per month. By the way, every, every benefit adds on to the other one, so if you become part of the book club gang, you also get the two videos per week, right? So then you have this one, which is kind of crazy, the two, the 25 hours per month where I'll give, I'll make a video based on the question that you have, so you can ask me a question, and I'll make one video on it; only 25 a month, right? That's a bargain because my coaching sessions could go up to 200, right? This one, you can ask me a question; I'll make a video; it's on Patreon exclusively, right? I mean, it's in the Mindful Attraction exclusively, and it's pretty affordable. After that, and you get the Robert Greene Book Club videos, that's pretty got them good bargain; it's a lot of work for me, though. After that, you get the Mindful Master where you get all those benefits, and on top of that, you get a drawing by your local YouTuber, and I'll send it to you in the form of an image, or you could pay for shipping, and I'll send it to you to your house from your favorite YouTuber, 20 minute, 20 to 30 minutes catch a view, and you get all the other benefits; you get the questions per month; you got the book club, and you get two videos per week. You could do this as a way to support me or as a way to get more exclusive content that I don't post on YouTube, okay? Follow me there; YouTube might close the channel; that's also why I'm doing this, to secure myself in case YouTube closes it; I have this as a way to back me up so that I can continue teaching you guys. Thank you so much for supporting me; I really appreciate every single one of you guys, and I hope that we continue this for decades to come. Stay toxic and subscribe while I'm closing the channel; stay toxic.
