Drei Dinge, die er seinem zukünftigen Ich zumuten würde

0:00I love this as a side note. Um, but one of the things that really motivates me or one of my most powerful motivational frames is thinking about the person that I want to become as the destination and thinking like I want to be bulletproof. I want to be bulletproof in these ways. I want to be bulletproof in my marriage. I want to be bulletproof in my business, etc. And I think about that man, whoever I want him to be. Like we said, hell is when you look at who you could have been and realize that you're not that person.

0:32And then I think, if I were to make that man, what would I put that man through to make him who he is? Like, it wouldn't be easy times. It wouldn't be quick wins. It wouldn't even be easy wins. It would be the the toil and the struggle of achieving and reaching for things that are right out of grasp that are right above my threshold and continuing to do that to like lift the weight to build the muscle to break it down and do it over and over again because like that's what creates the character traits that are the man that I want to be. And so when I'm going through those like really harder times I like to think of like looking in my mental mirror of like I'm making you. I'm not there yet, but I'm making you. And that has helped me get through some of the harder times.

1:20And from a gratitude perspective, my my most powerful frame for gratitude has been thinking about my 85-year-old self waking up as my 30-year-old self and all of a sudden looking at Ila and be like, "Man, I remember when we were this young." And then looking out the window and being like, "Man, you know, Vegas wasn't even developed. Like, there's no flying cars yet. Like, man, they were still used gas. It's like, "This is so cool." And I get out of bed and I'm like, "And my elbows don't hurt, my knees don't hurt, right?" Cuz I'm thinking about what my 85-year-old self would think. And, you know, we're talking about whatever. But it it it it allows me to enjoy the mundane in a way that I know that I would give everything that I had when I was 85 to enjoy again.

2:00And it's just it's a it's a trippy frame, but like if you can think like what would 8 85year-old me would be like, I'm just not my body doesn't hurt. You know what I mean? Like I actually have energy. Like I can think clearly. I don't have brain fog cuz I'm 85, right? And that has been probably my single most powerful frame on feeling grateful and allowed me to feel more present at times when I start like when I start to feel like I'm going through the motions and just like clicking in the routine and just like day after day after day and they feel the same. That's been my biggest slow down where I can pull the resins and be like just and and mind you it lasts a few minutes. But when I think back on the days where I where I use that frame, the part of the day that I remember is just the few minutes that I use it. So, I did this episode with Sam Harris. A lot of people have problems with Sam Harris.

2:44>> I found the time that I spent with him unbelievably enjoyable. I sat opposite him and a couple of times caught myself thinking, I am having so much fun doing this and he said this thing and I really wish I'd asked him another question. I should email him about it. um I was talking about presence and and the importance of presence and you could use it as a proxy for gratitude >> and he said that really what you're aiming to do is find small moments in the day when you just open up and realize what's happening

3:17>> right >> Conor McGregor won the featherweight title twice because he won the interim >> because Aldo was injured right >> and then he won against Aldo And somebody asked him, "What are you going to do differently this time against before the Aldo fight that you didn't do against the in the Mendes fight?" He says, "This time I'm going to be present." And there's this photo of him and he's stood >> Yeah. >> like this at the weigh-in and you've got this entire

3:45>> Yeah. >> stadium in front of him and he stood like that. He said the first time he did it, he couldn't remember it because he was just >> Yeah. >> drowning in the in in what was next. >> Yeah. And what I really loved that Sam said, and I think …
