It’s actually pretty easy to get ahead of 99% of people.

[Music] what if I told you it's incredibly easy to get ahead of 99% of people that it only takes 5 minutes a day stick to the end of this video and I'll give you a step-by-step bulletproof plan to do exactly that who am I and why should you care I am a Harvard trained ER physician with three IV League degrees whose mission is to give anyone who wants it the secret keys to success it all starts with the first thing the realization realize most people are doing nothing they wake up go to work do the

bare minimum to keep the lights on find 100 excuses to not do the thing they know they need to do and they waste their entire lives not doing it most are too lazy distracted scattered or even worse chasing the wrong thing entirely there's a gym in my neighborhood that we all share it's literally free and yet I often find myself the only one there I'm talking about hundreds of people who live in the same complex when I walk past their apartment on the way there and creepily stare into their windows I see row after row

of people glued to their TVs their computers and their phones the faint glow of those screams but a hypnotist wet dream back when McDonald's first came on the scene its unbelievable prices tastes and convenience was unheard of forced to compete the entire food industry morphed to fit the McDonald's model and here we are now decades later fatter than ever forget the gut your brain is next we are in the age of instantaneous gratification with mind numbing pleasure just a hand swipe away Tik Tok has been downloaded more than 4.1 billion times with monthly us users

equaling almost half of the entire population think about that in the US almost one out of every two people use Tik Tok you think other companies aren't noticing this is only the beginning it's only going to become more sophisticated more widespread more addicting we have technology already moving to invade your every Sense Technology invading to your very brain and soon the very fabric of your reality digital fentanyl that's what it is it's leaking into and contaminating everything we do consume or participate in and I seriously couldn't be happier y why because it's a gift imagine

you live in a drug Den it's dinner time and there's a random loaf of bread hidden somewhere if most people are high off their minds or incapacitated by withdrawal how big of an advantage are you going to have as the only sober one there think about that as long as you don't become part of the horde it has never been easier than it is now to get ahead and it literally only takes 5 minutes a day this is level one of your transformation harnessing the power of small winds the concept of a small win is

simple it's something that comes about in your everyday life that requires minimal effort to complete and yet most people still don't do it this is taking the stairs instead of the escalator this is choosing water instead of soda this is choosing to listen to an educational podcast when you pick up your phone instead of Auto clicking a garbage app like Tik Tok it's not that hard nor truly uncomfortable to do just kind of inconvenient this is what I call the collective comfort zone it's not a secret why my neighborhood GM is empty in the collective

comfort zone it feels nice to stuff your brain with a numbing Feelgood garbage you are different though you're about to set up camp outside of this bubble and build a consistent daily roster of small winds when these habits become automatic you are ready for level two harnessing the power of discomfort rule of level two is simple do one uncomfortable thing a day just one outside the collective comfort zone is another bubble the personal comfort zone think of the levels in terms of emotions conjured level one causes annoyance but is inherently doable level two causes anxiety

because it's downright scary back when I was single level two was pushing myself to say hi to that cute girl sitting next to me on the plane back when I lived in Hong Kong it was asking the dude eating noodles what he ordered because one it looked amazing and two I couldn't read the menu only for him to tell me to eat because I was bothering him at work that's saying no and sending up to your boss and telling him to eat chit and when that doesn't work eating Humble Pie and taking the L when

he fires you for insubordination level two is then uncomfortably admitting to yourself that you were an idiot for listening to some random guy on YouTube for advice device and are now unfortunately homeless maybe someone just cut you off in the road instead of giving them the middle finger you keep your mouth shut and be the bigger person whatever it is do it once and fulfill your level two quota for the day so that when the next guy cuts you off you're then free to give him the middle finger you only have to give out one

free pass a day remember whatever your level two task is I guarantee no one else around you is systematically trying to level up in this way one uncomfortable thing at a time that's great though because if you stick with the program this 5-minute habit will soon become second nature and when it does you'll be far ahead of the pack what bigger Fu could there be than that point is Chase discomfort in small doses and slowly widen the gap between you and those around you if you really want to widen the Gap one tool you should

be using is cify this video is kind sponsored let's say you have an insanely difficult course this semester the notes are dense the concepts are unclear and oh yeah your teacher sucks imagine at your fingertips is your own personalized tutor who not only understands the material like the world expert he is but he's able to summarize your dense lecture notes into personally tailored high yield study guides and practice questions at the touch of a button well guess what cify is exactly that all you have to do is upload your class materials and poof it creates

everything you'd ever need from one study guides and summaries outlining the entire material so you never have to read them again two key takeaways and Recaps and three the coolest thing ever real practice questions in mock exams literally made out of thin air how crazy is that in fact each practice question kifi creates for you is not only based on the material you give it it probes your understanding further with similar questions designed to attack the concept from other angles it's literally like you have a personalized tutor in front of you saying okay you got

this question right but let's make sure you really understand let's try a similar question now but with a slightly different scenario let's also rearrange the numbers a bit so you get more practice I actually owe a lot of My Success at Harvard Danielle to this exact method if I had a one-on-one tutor like this at my disposal studying would have been a lot easier point is don't limit your knowledge to how good your teachers are you have kify now harness its power and supercharge your study sessions making an account is easy just go to cify

doai and get started today now back to the video level three harnessing the power of pain are you starting to see a pattern now level one is annoyance level two is anxiety level three is pain but don't worry even if you stay at level two and step outside of your comfort zone once a day for the rest of your life you'd be better off than almost 90% of all people to get into the top 10 percentage points you need to live by the simple rule of level three to do one painful thing each and every

day pain is different from discomfort it's uncomfortable to put yourself out there and say hi to your crush but it's only painful if you get rejected if you don't get rejected you didn't actually reach level three level three is intentionally seeking out that pain and making it a daily habit that you actually embrace as a catalyst for real growth I know what you're thinking why the heck would I do that pain is freaking painful nobody likes pain pain is like herpes it just sucks yeah while that's true there's also a deeper truth behind Pain just

like her there's just no way to avoid it in the end it's coming for you you either get ready for it or you wait around for it like a useless sack of potatoes you choose the pain you face or life ends up choosing for you I choose the controlled pain of the gym instead of an unknowable pain of being a shriveled disease-ridden old fat guy I choose the intentional pain of hard-earned knowledge and experience rather than the pain that comes from ignorance and regret choose the pain you face while you still can that's why why

I plank 15 continuous minutes a day the physical pain and mental fortitude it brings me is my level three habit this is also why I chose to be an ER doctor on one hand I hate it because it's stressful dirty chaotic I see death disease and suffering every single day I'm there but on the other hand I love it for those exact reasons too it reminds me what really matters in life it toughens me up if I can go from picking out maggots from a dude's infected leg to digging out feces from a constipated grandma

M's butthole then saving a pregnant lady blinded by a bullet to her head all in the same shift then yeah I don't really care if you cut me off in traffic somehow I've gained just a little bit more perspective in life luckily you don't have to be in extreme situations to feel this way pain is entirely subjective if a single push-up causes you pain then you're in business and even better you don't need push-ups you don't have to do anything extra at all just by being a human being living your day today pain will find

you and when it does you'll be at a very important Crossroad you can either one whine and moan about it like you always do entertaining thoughts like why me it's not fair poor little me and be the helpless victim who learns nothing or you can take the high road the road that 99% of people will never take that road is the road where you say yeah this is but another rep in the gym of Life another chance to get stronger to gain perspective to toughen up and be even more prepared for the next one that

comes like everything this too shall pass but before it does you embrace it thank it with the Gratitude it deserves because without it you'll never grow into the person you want to become when you treat it as such and see it as this amazing thing it is it actually does become amazing pain isn't the bad guy the bad guy is actually you when you victimize yourself just like pain in the gy is not a bad thing it's a signal of growth if you treat it as such if you do the opposite that that is complain

about it like the ah this is annoying this sucks then guess what you'll avoid it you'll stop hitting the gy and get that heart attack down the road in the end pain is just pain you are the one that imbues it either with purpose or lets it fester in the bucket of meaningless suffering I don't know about you but meaningless suffering sounds like the worst possible timeline at any rate getting ahead in life doesn't have to be a hard ask with this simple three-step system there's a very clear ladder of progression you can follow every
