The mindset that is slowly destroying your life

[Music] ah what a lovely weekend in the neighborhood Susan is out walking the dog Frank is hard at work writing his new book and Billy is ah yes a classic Billy Saturday waking up late his mind filled with Dread there are so many things he could do so many things he should do but it all just seems so hard for Billy his obligations crush him so he does what seems easy he passes the time on frivolous things that take little to no effort to do he thinks of his neighbor Frank industriously engaged in his Pursuits

always so focused and calm he seems to fill his days and weeks with productive healthy activities going for walks with his dog exercising daily and and making an impact at work constantly getting promoted GE Frank is just built different he must have more willpower than I do how does he stay focused on difficult things for long periods of time I wish I enjoy doing healthy things as much as Frank seems to and that mindset right there is the exact reason why you never will you've fallen for the illusion of should isn't it strange that some

people seem to genuinely enjoy having a healthy and well-balanced life full of activities that are good for them and have seemingly no problem focusing on challenging things for long periods of time overall it seems that these people just have it figured out it's almost like they know something that most of us don't what is the secret like Billy many of us are stuck beating our heads against a wall hoping for lightning to strike providing us with the magic motivation we need to suddenly like doing the things that are good for us and hate doing the

things that are bad for us but fret not just like Frank you too can spend far more time doing healthy things and you don't have to wait no willpower is needed just a simple shift in your mental Framing and you too can be just like Frank I can't yes Billy But first you must realize that you've been lied to your whole life I've been lied to oh no by whom was it the Democratic party no silly Billy it wasn't the Democrats it's you me you have managed to gradually brainwash yourself with considerable help from advertising

and societal conditioning into thinking you actually enjoy doing degenerate things and that things that are good for you are hard and painful I did yes Billy but the simple fact is that good things are not painful and you know this through experience consider all the times you've had a deadline for something important like a school paper and after days of avoidance Agony and stress you manag to scare yourself into productivity due to a looming deadline what do you remember feeling when you finally started making he way on that paper well I reckon I felt quite

relieved I remember thinking to myself why did I put it off this long I should do this more often yes Billy you brilliant bastard you're beginning to understand every time you do what is good for you it in fact feels good too this is undeniable evidence that you do genuinely enjoy doing the things that are good for you on the flip side Billy recall how you feel on the day is you lack That Fire Within you and you spend all day doing low value things bored out of your skull days where it seems like you

ran out of things to do on that silly Contraption of yours as you melt into a sad sorry little blob during these moments how do you feel well I reckon I felt quite rotten a little bit anxious as well like I ought to be doing something more more important with my life yes Billy and is that an enjoyable feeling not in the slightest well Billy by the sounds of it it seems like you genuinely do not enjoy spending time in this way doing what is bad for you feels bad as well but why does it

feel just so gosh darn unappealing to do what I need to do before I do it ah Billy you've asked the most important question of of all let me introduce to you the Sinister nature of should you see highly ambitious people are rebellious by Nature wanting to rise above mediocrity and not be a sheep this rebelliousness means we don't like it when somebody says you should do this when an ambitious person hears authoritative language like this they tend to do the opposite I don't let anyone tell me what to do we know Billy you are

very strong and cool but as you know just like finally writing that paper what we think we should do is often what we want to do anyways it actually feels good to do what we need to do so telling ourselves we should do it is no help at all is it what would you rather do Billy what you should do or what you want to do I want to do what I want to do yes Billy and what if it is the same thing what should you call that thing to make make sure you do

it I don't get it goodness gracious Billy you're so close son all I'm saying is that you don't have to play this silly little game with your mind anymore you can simply do what you want I can yes Billy I can do what I want Billy Billy wait [Music] w [Music] hello are you still there ah Billy nice to see you again are you having fun I don't feel so good well Billy what happened you said I could do what I wanted so I did what I wanted and how did it feel Billy do you

feel good now I just do you feel good now that you've put more time into that thing you said I could circling the lamp like a good little moth trying to drink the light but your wings grow heavy as you flitter and flutter alone in the dead of night what sorry Billy don't you see you're confusing your true Desires in life with compulsion companies all around the world spend billions upon billions of dollars every single year to make things seem enticing on the surface but these things make you feel worse after having done them instead

of better doesn't sound very enjoyable to me you see Billy they are traps of compulsion but if you can identify these traps you can avoid them it's quite simple Billy you get it now don't you let's go back to Frank who you admire so much Frank is able to properly identify what activities are truly fulfilling he recognizes the difference between compulsion and genuine satisfaction he feels fills his time with things that make him feel good as a person he knows that draining 5 hours into a manufactured entertainment Contraption actually doesn't make him feel good despite

what the marketing might say so it's not that Frank has less fun he actually has more more satisfaction more self assurance more happiness when you have this proper context when you see the truth then you can simply do what brings you happiness and fulfillment through and through reflect on what these things are for you and your life and dive into them fully guilt-free free from the burden of fruitless moral imperative you will naturally want to do the things you originally thought you only should do you'll begin to realize that you don't need more willpower to

be like Frank willpower has nothing to do with it it's simply living with Clarity with truth when you do what you want and what you want feels good you will know that you have unbin washed yourself it will feel better to be you the world is simply a better place when people aren't so confused about what makes them happy do you understand now Billy Where Oh Billy you are capable of so much more if you found yourself enjoying this video then do me a favor and hit that like button because when you hit the like
