so guys this is how most people live their life they have their life they feel empty so they start to fill it up so we bought success bought money got girls we've got validation acceptance cars a house and then it gets that point where this starts happening okay and you see this right here this is the leaky end and this is how most people are living and that's what I want to talk to you guys about in this video all right guys so after getting my feet really wet from that intro I hope it does
paint the analogy which is as I said you know this is you and we all have that leaky bit at the end which is you know we think we need more we think we need something else and we think once you know we everything we think that if we keep filling this thing up right if we keep filling this part up eventually we'll be happy right so we just gotta fill it up a little bit form a little bit more money a little bit you know harder girls or other guys if your opposite sex you
know more success more this you know if you have a $50,000 car you need a $100,000 car if you have a quarter-million car you a half a million car you know and if the issue is like no amount will ever fix the fact that we have this opening we have this you know this leaky end right and I guess I wanted to use that quickly as an analogy for for in general let me fix the exposure for in general just how people see success in guys one thing I want to there's two things I want
to say in the beginning first of all when people I know this is some people's opportunity to go yeah success is like like shame on you for wanting nice stuff you know success is bad you just need to be appreciative and grateful and all that stuff and I completely agree with that but it really really bothers me if I'm honest when I see broke [ __ ] people trying to give advice and trying to preach about how money won't make you happy how would you know you have zero right to say that okay and you
know it's like I just it just bothers me I just think it's an easy way out for most people because I think unless you've lived it I just don't think you have a right to [ __ ] like you can have that opinion but just don't preach to other people it's just it's so pretentious it's Odyssey it's ridiculous right so that's the first thing I want to say is you should want nice things okay you should want to have the best things in life if you are broke if you can't take care of your mom
your dad if you can't take care of your family there is an issue with that that's wrong I don't agree with that well I I think if you can't take care of your family that's not something to be a property to be proud of right I also think if you know you can't go see the world and you know take your girlfriend away on a holiday or you know leave a nice life that's not something to be proud of okay so I'm you know that's the first thing that I want to mention and the second
thing I want to mention is the fact that look this is coming from a fix exposure once again this is coming from someone alright who's actually lived it okay I'm not some like okay I think the exposure is just gonna be screwed anyways I think you know I'm not someone who is coming to you as i said you know has been living in nepal his entire life and hasn't actually like experienced it and lived it I know what it's like to be that jar and I know what it's like and I'm still going through it
right now right to have that leaky end and think that if you just put more [ __ ] put pour more water into that jar that you know eventually you'll feel full okay so um you know I just want to paint that picture to begin with and give you guys a bit of context know as I said guys you know we all kind of start off like this and you know I know for example with me I generally thought okay once I get you know once I start making some money I'll go and buy I've
always been a super happy and you know having this doesn't mean you start off at zero who you're unhappy as you are it's just you know it's just a metaphor for you know the fact that we always think you know there's more there's more we can get more you know or we think once we fill this up we're gonna be happier so you know I thought for me you know once I start making some money and I can take care of my mom you know then I'll I'll be happier and that made that was the
most happy thing in the world you know to be able to take care of my mom so she doesn't really need to worry about anything anymore okay that then it was about like taking care of my friends who had my back once again that made me so happy then it's like you know maybe start buying some nice clothes you know then for me is like travel I've also want to travel but I can never afford to before last year then I was like you know then it then you add extra layers on top of it
have nice technologies you know or for me I was like you know I need to start having like incredible girls in my life and you guys know I'm like no bull showing here you know I need to start having like a lot of girls around me and have like amazing like nightlife and social circles so I did that and then I was like have you know the hardest should have like the hottest girls around me did that then it was like as I said travel and just do crazy experiences around the world did that and
all the while I still I still felt exactly the [ __ ] same then from you I was like get an apartment did down like once I get this apartment my life is gonna be like complete you know cause of all the just [ __ ] terrible memories I had on my child at home so just all of all the just a bad stuff you know that I went through kind of growing up you know I thought once I had this place I would leave all that behind and you know it was cool for like
a 1 2 weeks and then I go ok I live here now you know so and and even to this day I still have the belief you know I still have the belief that once I get my you know I was gonna get the drag or I have tie but honestly by the time I shirt for any car I'll probably have like a Lamborghini or or something like that I'm looking at the McLaren but anyways my point is McLaren are asked the morning TV 11 anyways you know it's still part of me thinks once I
get that car man things will be completely different and guys I think I've said this quite a few times I think you need to understand I think you need to go through a paradigm to understand it which is why I see like when I see people preach like oh you know money won't make you happy I'm like okay first of all if you haven't gone through that I don't think you have a right to say anything and second if you have gone through it I think you got to let people go through the process you
know even to this day I will never say like don't avoid money or avoid success or women or this or that I'm just putting it out there that like it will not make you happy and it will not fulfill you unless you fulfill yourself guys two things that I you know two sayings that I love first of all is you know wherever you go there you are there was crazy because I was sitting in Tenerife around a month ago and I'm singing Tenerife at this like [ __ ] like super expensive look shirt like that
trip cost near enough like like half of what I want to make an entire entirety of 2017 when I set my goals at the end of 2016 so you know I'm sitting there and I'm like sitting there with like my girlfriend and I'm just lying there and I'm just like this is literally everything that I've ever wanted and I still you know my right butt cheek still itches you know I'm like it's listen literally everything I've ever wanted it growing like think about faster over the past year and a half my dream was like being
this incredible like incredible Airbnb or hotel like by the by the poolside super luxurious place super exclusive names luxurious with this like super hot girl next to me who's incredible and we could talk about like anything from like philosophy to business to like and I was doing it and I still felt exactly the same right and and you know I think it's something you always get reminded of is the fact that like things don't change and wherever you go there you are have you ever seen it it's so funny where like you know I've seen
especially with the British people where like they'll go on a holiday right and the weather it's even it's even raining right now people complain about the London weather but it's honestly not that bad that's it ironically it's raining right now but you know London people will go to London people will go to you know abroad I'm gonna touch down the land and like for the first like you know for the first four or five hours they're like super excited super problem and then like six hours and they're like this place is way too warm right
they just came from [ __ ] like freezing London in winter and now they're in the superhot place and then now they're complaining it's too hot you know so guys other than a day wherever you go there you are do you see why I like with lottery winners when they win five million in the lottery they still end up broke because wherever you go there you are you can what is it you can take the boy out of the hood but you can't take the hood out of the boy right you can't like it's it's
so hard to take them and tally out of them of course you can and there's so many Admiral Admiral people who like have just done incredible things and they've come from so much adversity but a lot of time one of the issues I I think when I see you know people by the way I had like I like straight up I had a pre shitty childhood but I had nothing nothing compared to the people who like you know grow up in these just impoverished areas because I don't think I don't think that person or me
we were like we were both grew a broke right but the the thing with me is I grew a broke but I had money surrounding me right so me and my mom were in this weird like vortex were like we were poor with rich people around us and I knew what wealth looked like right and we were just as dead broke as those people in you know in the projects or the states here in London you know but that's the problem the issue with the people within the states is the fact that like they just
have them right and it's not therefore and I think that's the main issue it's not that scarcity of opportunity because what I do I could live in Tibet and still [ __ ] do it makes no difference right it's just the mentality growing up so you know that's as I said why you know to explain that to use that as an explanation like you can wherever you go there you are you know so I think at the end day you'll always think that you know once I'm sitting in my Ferrari or once I've got like
my $15,000 Rolex or once I've got this thing or that's that thing you'll be happy but at the end of the day wherever you go there you are and the second point is the grass is never [ __ ] greener ever there has been no time where and then this kind of ties into you know fear of missing out for those new entrepreneurs that you know are doing your thing and you're watching cuz I I know what this is like and you're and you're seeing your friends going out party going to clubs having fun and
you're like [ __ ] why am I missing out just understand the grass is never greener for me it was so trippy because like I remember this is like two years ago I would always all my rich friends were going out to like clubs and like this and that and obviously I had I had no money to even get in let alone like buy drinks luckily the fact that I don't drink or very very rarely drink has saved me so much money in the past month anyways I would watch this on like snapchat or Instagram
and I get [ __ ] like [ __ ] if I could just get in that club with them like if I could just be at that table with those hot girls and like um like you know it was just like like I know what it's like guys I know what it's like to like look at this [ __ ] or you look at like a multi-millionaire you're like [ __ ] if I could just have that sort of lifestyle you know but the trickiest thing for me was I go to that Club right I
end up there like six months later two connections not through having any money at all right and I end up there and I'm I'm finally like behind the Rope right I'm behind the velvet rope and I'm like I'm like in in in the circle in the world and like all of these guys and girls all they're [ __ ] doing is on Instagram and snapchat posting the stuff they're not even talking to each other like in the club like in a ball mask low ball mask music and they're like sitting next to each other just
instagramming or like what's happing people but they're not even enjoying it and at that point like my mind was [ __ ] blown I'm like four you know I learned my lesson I'm like the grass is never [ __ ] greener ever there's never been a time where I thought the grass is greener and it isn't now guys to just give you a little bit to kind of like you know balance you out if you don't have incredible women around you like it was funny I posted you know I posted a thing on my Instagram
story about like you know like I said something very crass on there I I'm not usually too too crass or just too late I was very blunt you know and I said something about like having a fat girlfriend or like being overweight you know and so and a bunch of people were like you know I appreciate what you're saying but I think you need to stop downplaying people who are overweight I think we need to saw as a society we need to stop being just so like just so airy-fairy like if you are overweight that
is a sign that you are unhealthy okay so like there's certain things in this world if you are broke that is not something to be proud of if you don't like if you don't have a cool source of social circle don't be proud of that don't listen to this and go oh it's fine because the grass is never greener when I have a healthy body the grass is never greener when I brought incredible women around me or guys the grass is never greener when you know I I can afford to take care of my parents
and and live in my dream apartment and buy what I want you know don't listen to that and go oh it's fine because the email says the grass is never greener if you don't have those things you should strive towards those things but what I have learned is that and you know guys you know obviously last month I did 72 thousand dollars in profit you know this year I'm you know ice 11 announcer properly but my goal for this year was a million dollars profit I'm gonna move that up to two million dollars profit because
I need something to like keep pushing me I'm ninety three point seven percent sure I'm gonna hit a million I mean I wasn't 100% sure even going into this year because I had such a strong belief and vision in it but my point is you know what I've kind of learned is you know it's fine like it's fine to keep pushing and aspiring and all that stuff you know I'm I'm looking to do my first six figure months in and then after that my first quarter million monsoon so you know it's fine to keep aspiring
it's it's the frame in which you're coming from and it's like what are you doing along the journey and along the process so for me this year it's about like continuing to push the boundaries and crazy [ __ ] ways but I'm doing so in a way where like I just appreciate what I have now and you know if you're making 2,000 a month that's not enough you know you've got to bring those numbers up not only for you but for your [ __ ] family and your friends and the people you care about okay
but just don't think that once you hit 10,000 a month or 50,000 a month that you're gonna be happy all of a sudden right be happy now make that choice now to be happy and to be full right and guys this is why on this channel I don't just talk about like money and hustle and grind and all this [ __ ] [ __ ] most a lot of what I talk about is mindset right is your mindset is your belief system it's your self-identity it's you know it's it's your spirituality and your presence work
to me that's really really important and living in a just a [ __ ] ball mast life because as I said guys you know I've seen so many people who have so much in their life and it's like it's like a hamster on on one of those like hamster wheels they just keep running they keep running after more success more more success more Fame more validation more girls more this more that more than that more that and they think once they keep doing like they think as they keep doing it eventually they'll get to a
point where like they're happy and it just never happens and to me it's like the most heartbreaking thing you could ever see so guys hope you enjoyed this video [ __ ] love the process enjoy the process you don't want to look back and go well I had a hell year like you know I had a year where I achieved so much but I did it I didn't with a smile on my face you know or I wasn't a cool person to be around with because I was so like logical and in my head and
stuff like that so guys push strive for more because well why the [ __ ] would ensure you know if not you then who else you know if you're watching this I know you are a different breed of woman or man you are you know you're on another level right because if you weren't I don't think you'd resonate with this [ __ ] right if you resonate with someone else like if you weren't on that level you would just resonate with watching like rap music videos and dan Bilzerian and just you know entrepreneur youtubers who
just talk about like how much money they make or like [ __ ] numbers and stuff like that you watch this for reason you've gone this far for a reason so I'd know that's the sort of person you are and guys said push strive for more but enjoy and love the process every single step of the way so yeah guys hope you enjoyed it I'll get back to work and I will see you in come in to the colors just another load and pain
