So the big question is this, how do young men like us, who didn't listen to society, who are on our own,
how do we grow and improve ourselves so that we can live a better tomorrow?
That is the question and this show will give you the answers.
My name is James Radzinski and welcome to the Ascend Momentum Show.
Welcome back.
Let's talk.
This morning I tracked my Bolt score, which is a test to see how healthy of a breather you are.
Healthy levels is at least 40 seconds and this morning I got 6 seconds.
For context, last week around this time I had 19 seconds and this morning I got 6.
So that is something that I just want to let you guys know and I kind of failed on focusing my breathing.
But things are changing again and today I focused on my breath a lot more.
Did some exercises on the bike while I was biking to school, at the gym, home.
But I didn't do enough.
I have been focusing on my breath a lot more, trying to restrict my breathing throughout the day.
But it's a journey and I'm just at the beginning and I'm failing already.
I'll do better.
I just want to talk about lately I've been having low energy and not even low energy.
I feel like it's my free energy, the energy that is flowing through my body is low.
Because once I got to the gym I was able to lift heavy and hard today.
But I've been falling asleep all day long.
I would just fall asleep.
I'm not talking about falling asleep for bed.
I'm talking about falling asleep mentally.
I would just lose vigilance a lot throughout the day.
Also I feel as though I'm not on the right path right now.
I'm not sure, I'm really not sure what I'm doing bad or what I'm doing wrong.
But that's pretty much what's going on lately.
Let's talk about what I did last night.
I spent $180 buying a over the ear headphones, a CD player and wave one of the gateway experience CD.
And this is going to be huge.
If you are not sure, if you've never heard of the gateway experience, wave one, there are eight waves in it.
Each one is incremental so you start at wave one.
It is basically a guided meditation and wave one gets you into a deep relaxation.
They play noises that attune your brain waves to a certain frequency.
That allow your brain to actually get in that state.
So it's better to use that CD than not to.
It allows you to do a lot more.
And eventually you can get an out of body experience where you literally are so deep into meditation that your soul literally just leaves your body.
But right now I'm just focusing on focus 10 which is wave one.
Wave one focuses on focus 10.
So right now you and you and I are both on focus one which is just fully conscious in the present.
And in or not just that but fully present in like conscious in reality.
So we are in reality itself.
And then I don't know all the focus levels in between but focus 10.
I'm not even sure if there are focus levels in between but focus 10 is the deep relaxation.
And then you can get focus 12 and then focus 15 and then focus 21.
And then I don't even I'm just learning about all this stuff but pretty much I read Transurfing.
So after I read Transurfing once it started to change my by the way Transurfing is a book.
It's called Reality Transurfing by Vadim Zelen.
It's parts one through five.
So I read that book and it like shattered my worldview.
I started to like question my interpretation of the world.
And then once I started reading a second time through it started shifting my worldview.
And now I'm a little over halfway through the book on the second read through.
And my worldview is definitely shifting and I am starting to believe like anything.
I'm starting to be able to believe anything.
So that's context but then the other day I discovered this on a D classified CIA document.
It's called the analysis and assessment of the gateway process.
And it's basically the CIA did like research or they did.
They had like a project where they would use the gateway experience which is developed by Munro Institute.
And they would like test they would use the gateway experience for like the army I'm pretty sure.
And so it was it's like this whole thing.
And it's basically awakening your consciousness like you becoming more conscious and more aware and expanding your consciousness.
And so I read that whole document the analysis and assessment of the gateway process.
It's like 30 pages.
I read it over the weekend and I actually like am excited for it.
I'm looking forward to it to the point where I actually bought Wave 1 like the first CD that they sell.
But if I were to have seen that document if I were to read that document one year ago from today,
I definitely would have just dismissed it.
I would have just like thought that it was fake or thought they were crazy.
And I would have just like dismissed the completely dismissed it.
And I think that really just shows how valuable it is to learn how to learn how to and to get good at destroying your limiting beliefs
and becoming conscious of it and changing your worldview because over the past year,
I've gone on this journey of self improvement and just educating myself through reading a lot of books.
And there was a lot of things that I read, especially in Transurfing,
that absolutely destroyed my worldview and started to shift like and I started to take up new opinions and ideas.
So my beliefs and values and like my entire worldview was different from when you're from today.
And one of the biggest skills that I picked up over the past year is to be able to throw out ideas and change it for new ideas.
And let me explain what I mean by that.
It's super valuable to learn new information that contradicts your own information
and have the humility to throw out your own information and throw out all the old crap that is not valuable anymore.
So I've done this so many times now and it's like becoming really good at it now.
And I can see why it can go bad if you throw out good for bad, but it's better.
I feel like the pros outweigh the cons and it's just one of those skills or things that people do that sets them apart from the rest.
It's like really the successful people are the ones doing that.
So a year ago I wanted to learn how to breathe.
That was the first book that I read.
And so I read the book, learned some new information and I realized, oh, this guy knows more than me.
And my breathing patterns were pretty bad.
So I'm going to get rid of this and take up his own, his stuff and start believing in his stuff.
So I got rid of the junk and replace it with new stuff.
And then flash forward three months ago, or not three months, six months ago when I first read Transurfing.
That was the book that destroyed my worldview.
From the get go, from the first chapter, I already had to realize that this guy is talking about a lot of stuff that I contradicts my own worldview.
But this guy is actually onto something and I had the humility to throw out my own beliefs for the betterment of myself.
Because this new information that he was sharing was actually the right stuff.
And I was just holding myself back.
All of my beliefs and my thought patterns were just holding me back.
And I'm very grateful that I had the humility to adopt this new worldview and to integrate it into my own.
Because it is extremely harmful to just hold on to your own worldview forever.
And Transurfing, if you can internalize the concepts and the principles in Transurfing, that will change your life.
Now, my life hasn't changed much.
It's been six months, but to be fair, I haven't actually been...
Here, I haven't been working on it.
Let me explain.
Today I realized a couple days ago, maybe a week ago, I read this sentence that really struck to me.
It was in the Russ... it was in Dancing After The Music Stops.
In that book, in the introduction, I haven't read the actual book yet, but I just read the intro.
And no, I don't even think that I read it in there.
I might have read it in that book, but I did read it from that author.
It might have been on his website, The Most Beautiful World, I'm pretty sure it's what it's called.
But I read him say that everything that he visualized, like everything he visualized using Transurfing, came true.
And he listed up like two or three different examples.
So I kind of just... I was like, oh, cool.
But then today I realized that he just talked about that. Like he was saying that's all Transurfing is.
Or not, he wasn't saying that, but he was saying like, there's the secret to life and those who learned to use it, like gain success.
And he was saying Transurfing.
And then he went on to explain that everything he visualized went on to be true.
And there's one thing that I realized today. I'm focusing on all the little bitty details, like not generating too much excess potential.
Reducing my importance.
I'm focusing on all the little things, which is good.
But I kind of just dismissed the biggest mover of Transurfing. Finding your own goal, your innermost goal, and finding your innermost door.
And then I dismissed visualizing.
That's like the big pieces of Transurfing.
He literally said in the book, the only thing that is truly important is finding your innermost goal and your innermost door.
And I just dismissed it. I didn't spend time. I did spend time trying to find my own goals and doors.
But I don't think that I did it very consciously and very well.
And so that's what I'm thinking right now. I have to look out for my goals and doors.
And I'm remembering just now while I'm explaining this that he said, don't throw out your current door.
So right now my current door is podcasting and that's actually it right now.
My current door is podcasting. He said, don't throw it out.
He said, be on the lookout, be vigilant, be conscious aware, looking for your next, like your actual goal.
Because right now I think my goal is going up, moving to Hawaii and surfing.
Like that's what I desire right now. But I didn't really give it much thought.
I heard my friend say it and then I just internalized it.
And then I didn't really look out for my innermost door consciously.
I kind of just went with the flow and stumbled upon it while I read a book.
So right now he said, the only things holding you back from achieving your goals are is yourself.
So if you have doubt or if you don't have confidence or self-belief, then you're holding yourself back.
And so I have doubt that this really is my innermost goal and my innermost door.
And the door, by the way, is like the path towards your goal.
And it's basically the route you take to get to your goal.
And right now my door would be podcasting because that's kind of the route that I'm taking to achieve my goal,
which is to move to Hawaii and surf, become a surfer.
But that is, that's something that I just kind of reflected on on my bike ride home today.
And I was thinking like, why is my life, why am I so down? Why am I low energy? Why do I feel something nagging at me?
And I think I feel as though I'm not really one, I don't know for sure if this is my innermost goal.
Two, I don't know for sure if this is my innermost door.
Three, I'm not visualizing. I'm not reminding myself of my destination.
I'm kind of just going through the day to day and I'm not reminding myself where I'm headed.
Probably the last time I reminded myself that I'm going surfing like consciously and legitimately for a decent amount of time was like a couple days ago.
So I'm not reminding myself my destination, which if you're going, if you're traveling and you're kind of just driving around
and you don't really know where you're going and you're not thinking of where you're going, well you're going to get lost and you're not going to end up in the right place.
So I'm not thinking about surfing enough. I'm not thinking about moving to Hawaii enough and I'm getting lost.
I feel like I'm, I'm steering off of course.
So that's one of the corrections that I need to make in the coming days.
I have to figure out if this even is my, like my true goal, my true goal, my true path.
And that's another thing.
He said, settle on one main goal and then all of your other desires will be fulfilled along the way.
So right now my one main goal, well I actually have three, three goals right now.
Get a MacBook Air, go to Funnel Hacking Live in Florida in 20 days and move to Hawaii and become a surfer.
Those are my three main goals.
Now those three goals, you should only settle on one.
So the one that I will settle on is my end goal, like my, the biggest goal, which is going to Hawaii and becoming a surfer.
Because to be honest, I already bought, we already bought the plane tickets and we already bought the hotel rooms or the hotel room to get to,
and we bought the tickets for Funnel Hacking Live, which is a conference, it's like an event, a live event experience for entrepreneurs.
And I bought all that stuff, so that is a done deal.
I haven't gotten the MacBook Air, I don't have any money for it, or I do have money for it, but I don't have enough money for that and getting food on,
like that and paying for the miscellaneous things on the trip.
So that is another thing, but Hawaii is what I truly want.
Like I don't truly want a MacBook Air, that's just one of the things that I desire.
What I truly want is Hawaii, like I want to move to Hawaii and surf.
But it's, it's, it's, ah, yeah, that's it.
Focusing on Hawaii, going Hawaii, and there's one thing that I kind of remembered, I heard it when, I don't know if I heard this in my books,
or I kind of connected the dots and came up with this conclusion.
Don't, so I, this is an example, don't plan on making, don't have your goal to get into the NFL.
So don't say, oh, I really want to get into the NFL and work towards it, and then maybe you'll get in.
No, the better goal would be, I'm going to be the best quarterback in the NFL ever.
Because then, with that goal, there's no question of, am I going to get in the NFL at all?
No, the goal is you're going to be the best in the NFL.
That's kind of what I, I was, I was walking by a TV today at the gym and it was playing football.
And that, like, kind of epiphany, got, like, I realized that epiphany in my head.
So if your goal is to get into the NFL and play football professionally, well then, in your goal, you may have doubts that you're even going to get in the NFL.
Like, your goal is to get into the NFL, so are you even going to get in the NFL? I don't know.
But if your goal is to be the best player in the NFL, well then, you have a much bigger goal.
So getting in the NFL is not of your concern.
So your mindset is going to be so much different when you're training and doing all this stuff.
Because you're not going to be playing for the short term, like, getting into the NFL.
You're not going to be training for that short term.
You're going to be training for the long term.
You're going to be like, okay, yeah, I lost this game. Doesn't matter. How can I improve?
This game does not matter.
What matters is my end goal, which is being the best player in the world.
How can I get there? What can I do to learn?
Like, you find more and more areas to improve on and more and more things to learn.
So that's what I'm kind of thinking.
Right now, my goal was just to get to Hawaii. Hopefully, I can get to Hawaii.
Hopefully, hopefully, maybe I can. Maybe I can. I don't know.
Can I even get to Hawaii? Is that even possible?
Can I move to Hawaii? Is that in the cards for me?
So I think that I need to come up with a bigger, batter, more long term goal.
Because then, my mindset totally shifts.
And I think that I derived this epiphany from a story that I heard from Russell Brunson.
And I'm going to give you a story to give context that he gave.
So this story, he talked about how there was in like the past, before they hit the four-minute mile,
everyone thought it was impossible. Doctors said it was impossible.
Like, they actually said it's humanly impossible to run faster than four-minute mile.
Or to get a four-minute mile. Or a sub-four-minute, I think, yeah.
And then, no one did it. No one's ever done it until this one person did it.
He just broke the four-minute mile.
And then, like a few months later, like super quickly, another person broke that record.
And then, another person. And then, since then, over a thousand people have run a four-minute mile.
And so, the moral of the story is, people don't know that it's possible.
So they're not... If someone doesn't know that it's possible, they're going to have doubts.
And they won't know it's possible, so they won't try so hard, maybe.
I don't really remember the exact moral of the story, but I kind of have a conceptual idea in my head.
I'm just having a tough time explaining it into words.
And so, once that person broke the four-minute mile, he proved to everyone else.
And then, everyone else had a completely mindset shift.
They realized, oh, it's real. It's possible. It is true.
Like, this is a thing that can happen. Like, I can do this.
And then, a person broke it again. And then another. And then another.
And then, thousand, at least more than a thousand people have broken it since.
And it's because that one person proved that it's possible.
And so, a follow-up story that Russell told was, his goal was to make...
He was in college. He was a wrestler. And his wife was financially supporting him.
And his goal was just to make a thousand dollars every month, just to help out the cause.
His goal was a thousand dollars a month.
And then, he got an email.
So, one of the entrepreneurs in his...
One of the online marketers in his scene was selling...
Had a course. It was called Traffic Secrets.
And he sold it. And Russell was on his email list.
So, he got... Russell got an email from that dude.
And the email said, we did it.
So, Russell clicked on the email. And he was reading through the email.
And at that moment, his time froze.
He was just sitting there. And his life had been changed.
Because what Russell read was that that guy who sold the Traffic Secrets course
made one million dollars in less than 24 hours.
And that was the four-minute mile for him.
No one had ever made a million dollars in 24 hours in that market.
And then that guy broke the four-minute mile and basically proved that it was possible.
And so, once Russell saw that, he realized, oh, I've been trying to get one thousand dollars a month.
And this guy just got one million in a day.
And then Russell had a complete mindset shift.
So, from there, he was thinking, no.
I'm not getting a thousand dollars a month. I need to...
I want to get a thousand dollars... or I want to get a million dollars a year.
So, Russell had that way bigger goal.
And because of that, his actions were different.
He wasn't trying to get one thousand dollars a month.
His actions were proportional to his goal, basically.
That's what I like to think of it.
When his goal was one thousand dollars a month, his actions were a fraction of that.
So, he was like, oh, how can I get a thousand dollars a month?
And so, his worldview, his information...
His brain was only picking up information that fit into that goal.
How can I make a thousand dollars a month?
Not how can I make a million dollars a month?
And then once he realized that you can make more...
Once he realized that he wanted to make a million dollars a year in one year...
He was like, no, screw this.
I'm not looking for these little one thousand dollars a month.
I'm looking for how can I make a million a year?
And then his actions were proportional.
Let's say his actions were...
I don't know if I'm giving the right statement for this, but...
His goal, let's say your actions are one percent of your goal.
So, if your goal is one thousand dollars a month, you're going to get one percent of that in action.
So, he's basically going to take action one percent.
He's going to move one percent forward every day towards one thousand dollars.
But if his goal was one million dollars, he'll move one percent forward every day.
So, what do you think is bigger?
One percent of one thousand or one percent of one million?
Well, I think one million is bigger.
That is kind of what I'm thinking.
So, I think that one of the things that I have to learn is I have to change my goal.
Hawaii just is not big enough.
Like, a couple months ago, Hawaii was a huge goal, and I thought,
oh my gosh, am I even going to do this?
Or, I don't even know if it was a couple months ago.
Like, when I first got that goal, like a month or two ago, I was like, is this even possible?
But now I'm like, okay, this is definitely possible.
What's bigger?
What's my one million dollars a year?
So, because lately my actions have only been podcasting,
and I haven't really done any stuff for business.
Now, podcasting is for business, but it's not doing anything now.
Like, I could definitely sit down and make money online just regarding the podcast.
So, I got to figure out, that's one of the things that I learned in my reflection,
that I got to figure out my bigger goal.
Hawaii just is not enough.
Because, like I said in the beginning of this episode,
one year ago, my worldview and my mindset was completely different.
I didn't think that much was possible.
I still thought that I was going to college.
And now I know so much more as possible.
I simply just haven't taken much action or haven't really proved it yet.
So, I have to come up with a bigger goal and allow the world to help me realize it.
I have to use those big movers like visualization, having your true inner-most goal,
having your true inner-most door, and visualizing, and always reminding myself, my destination.
Throughout the day, after reminding myself, this is what I'm working for.
This is where I'm headed. This is where I'm headed.
If I was to drive, if I was to get in the car and drive, start driving,
I'd just go random places.
Maybe I'd go in a circle. Maybe I would go all the way across the country.
I don't know.
Maybe I'd drive into water. Who knows?
But if I were to be thinking, okay, I'm driving to Florida. I'm driving to Florida.
I will start looking for Florida signs.
I'll start looking for signs that say, head to Florida.
Like, I'm not just going to drive mindlessly now.
I'm going to actually shift my attention and focus my actions towards that goal.
So that is one of the things that I just completely dismissed and forgot about.
I just got to keep reminding myself of my destination. Keep reminding myself of my destination.
So that's the biggest, that's the big lessons for today.
Have a big, have a big goal.
Get a bigger goal and keep reminding yourself of the destination.
All the time. Be obsessive over it. Just remind yourself, this is what I'm doing this for.
Because I have a routine. I have a strict regimented routine.
I do the same exact thing for the first, like, three hours of the day.
No, actually, I do the same thing all day long, every single day.
Because I wake up, do my same morning routine, go to school.
Or by the way, studying is in my morning routine now.
Go to school, go to the same classes every day.
So I'm doing all the same stuff. Go the same route to her school.
I literally drive over the same cracks on the street every day.
Look at the same things. Everything is routinized in my life.
And I can really get lost in that. I've found over the past couple weeks,
I can get lost in that if I don't have a destination.
Like, routine is good, but it's not good if you're aimlessly doing it.
And that's what I was doing over the past couple of days or weeks.
I wasn't reminding myself where I'm going.
I got to remind myself, why am I studying this? Why am I, why am I podcasting right now?
Because I'm headed somewhere. I have a destination set.
Originally my destination was Hawaii, but soon I will discover my true destination.
Now it could take days, it could take weeks, it could take months.
Ah, Valemzalin said, finding your, the process of finding your innermost door,
or your innermost goal could take months.
It could be very long. Do not rush it.
Don't set a time scale. Just be impeccable in your principles of Transurfing.
And just constantly run everything through your head, through that lens of,
will this make my life feel like a holiday?
One more thing.
Heart and mind, unity of heart and mind.
There's one very, there's one very important principle in Transurfing that
I have not really taken action on. I haven't really done yet.
I haven't really, what's the word, actually taken advantage of.
And it is listening to the Russell the Morning Stars.
So if you've ever had this intuitive thought, like intuitive moment,
like someone's about to open the door, or someone's here, or you just got an epiphany,
you had an aha moment, like you just realized that you know something that you didn't know before.
That is all the workings of the heart.
And throughout the day, when you're making decisions, your heart actually,
you actually feel emotions, and your heart is actually sending signals,
like sending emotions to you.
It like sending tension or inner peace, inner tension or inner peace.
Or nothing.
And, but we don't, normally we don't realize it, because our mind is too busy with its own chatter,
too busy with its own logic, too busy with its ego, its self-importance, inner importance.
It is too busy with all that stuff.
And let me explain context, heart and mind, that is the terminology he uses in Transurfing.
But let me tell you, the heart and mind is real.
And it is simply the left hemisphere of your brain and the right hemisphere of the brain.
The left hemisphere is, that job, the left hemisphere's job is to gather in information from the outside world.
Use logical analog, to analyze things.
Use logic.
It's all about logic and numbers, and that brain thinks things.
It can, kind of, it's logical and analytical, and it can use, it knows words,
it knows language, symbols, and it knows the human language, like English, Spanish, like, it knows your language.
Like that is your left side of the brain, and that's the mind.
That's the heart and mind, the left side is the mind.
And then the right side of the brain feels things, it knows things.
The right side of the brain is your heart, that's the terminology, the right side is the heart.
So unity of the heart and mind is simply just unifying your brain.
So most people don't listen to their heart, they don't listen to the right hemisphere of your brain.
And how effective do you think they are in the day to day, if they're split, if their brain is divided on all things?
Because that's what we're doing.
We don't listen to our heart, our mind doesn't listen to our heart.
Our mind thinks that it knows best, and our mind, which is the left side of the brain, it thinks it knows best.
And so it just goes on its own will.
The mind just focuses on it, what it thinks it wants, what it thinks it needs.
But the heart knows what it needs and knows what it wants, which that's the right side.
So if you, so that's everyone, like most people, me included,
they only listen to the mind, the mind dictates everything.
And then the heart just kind of gets the way, pushed to the wayside, it kind of just is ignored and it's not listened to.
So how effective of a person do you think someone will be in achieving their goals and becoming whatever they want to be?
How effective do you think they will be if they are operating on half of a brain, just using left hemisphere?
How effective do you think they'll be?
Now, not very effective.
Now, I'm going to ask you another question.
How effective do you think they will be if they use both sides?
If they combine and you, they unify both sides of their brain, left side and the right side, unifying that heart and the mind?
How effective do you think they will be?
I'm pretty sure that they will be very effective.
That's another thing that I ignored or didn't ignore, but I just didn't have any intent on taking action on changing that part in my life.
Listening to my heart, listening to the dictates of the heart, but that is all, like that is transwerving.
That is listening to your dictates of the heart and that's all about going into the right direction.
Like your heart tells you if decisions are good or bad.
Before you make a decision, visualize and imagine yourself having made one decision and feel your inner tension.
Feel, listen to the rustle of morning starts, which is sense your inner feeling.
Are you tense or do you have inner peace or is there nothing?
Because the heart always knows what it does not want and the heart is always correct.
Like the heart knows it's never wrong.
The mind is wrong.
The left side of the brain is wrong.
A lot of the times.
But the right side is never wrong.
It's always right and it may not know what it wants all the time, but it knows exactly what it does not want.
So if you make a decision and you feel inner tension, that's the heart saying, we don't want this.
You do not want this.
So go back on that decision if you can and choose the other thing.
Or don't make a decision at all because that is all there is like unify the heart and the mind.
So that's two lessons.
That's two things that we've talked about so far.
Having a big goal to change your action towards it and remember the destination.
I'm actually going to write that down on a piece of paper because that is so important and so...
That's just... Alright, so big goal.
And then no destination.
And then the other one was like actually fulfill your full potential and actually unify your heart and the mind.
Use your brain.
Like actually convert, like use your whole brain.
Most people are only using the left side of their brain on the day to day.
So use your full brain.
Take advantage of the whole brain.
Like unify brain.
That is like that's what I'm trying to say here.
I know I try not to do this but I drink a lot of water today and I really got to use the bathroom so I'll be back.
Okay, I'm back.
Sorry about that interruption.
But that's all there... Like that's what it's all about.
Staying on course.
Stay on course.
Stay on purpose.
There's this podcast that I used to listen to.
And I didn't really listen that many episodes.
I started listening towards the end of when I stopped listening to podcasts.
So I only had the privilege of listening to a few episodes.
But that podcast was called On Purpose.
And now I can't really speak on the podcast itself but the title On Purpose.
I didn't really understand what it meant at the time.
But now, obviously I don't know what that title means.
But I just want to give context to the words On Purpose.
So I'm going to stop talking about that podcast.
But I want to talk about the words On Purpose.
Staying on purpose.
That is what it's all about.
Know your destination.
Know what the purpose of what you're doing all this stuff for.
I have a regimen and routine.
I do the same exact thing every single day.
Around the same exact time.
Wake up same time.
Go to bed same time.
Brush my teeth same time.
Ice my balls same time.
Eat same time.
Go to the gym same time.
Everything at the same exact time.
Same exact thing every day.
And yes, even if you just do it all mindlessly every single day, you still can get benefit.
Your life is still going to be better than it is now in one year from now.
If you do it for the same, like if you have a good routine like mine, and you just mindlessly do it for an entire year, your life will be better.
But you got to remind yourself of what you're doing this stuff for.
Because your life will be even better.
And you will actually start to feel better.
If you have a purpose and you stay on that purpose during your routine, you always remind yourself why you're doing all this stuff.
Don't forget.
Then you will have a destination and you will go towards it.
If you are trying to go to Florida, or you're trying to go...
Yeah, let's just say you're trying to go to Florida and you live in Chicago.
It's just a straight drive down south, southwest, or southeast, whatever.
But if you don't have that destination set, but you want to go to Florida, but you don't remind yourself, I'm going to Florida.
When it comes time to make a decision, you'll kind of just make a decision based on how you feel at that moment.
So let's say there's a road going to Florida or a road going to California.
You'll be like, oh, California looks cool. Let's go to California.
That's what happens when you don't have a purpose, when you're not staying on purpose.
When your destination is not set and you forget about it.
That's what happens when you have a destination, but you forget about it and you don't remind yourself.
So what you do is you constantly remind yourself, obsess over your destination, but do it indifferently.
Remind yourself where you're headed.
So then when it comes time to make decisions, you'll make decisions based off that destination.
You'll choose that road going to Florida instead of California because that's where you're headed.
You're headed to Florida.
So that was just a big rant over all that stuff.
I want to talk about supplements.
I used to be extremely against supplements.
The only thing that I would take is creatine.
I used to be like, oh, 100% natural.
You need to get all of your nutrients from food, like how our ancient ancestors did.
But now I'm thinking maybe supplements are actually good.
Like if you can get high quality supplements, maybe that's actually good because one, our soil and our water, all nutrient deprived.
So we're not getting as good as much nutrients as our ancestors were thousands of years ago.
So that alone affects things.
So that's another reason why you should have supplements.
Now I'm starting to shift.
Before I was thinking no supplements, I want to be 100% whole foods.
But now I'm starting to shift and I'm starting to actually take more and more supplements because maybe it's actually good.
Now that we have access to all this technology, we can have the best health we've ever had.
There's a guy named Brian Johnson who I was looking into a couple weeks ago.
And I'm pretty sure I talked about him on the podcast, but he is basically a millionaire, like a multimillionaire who started a company called Blueprint.
And I'm pretty sure it's called that.
I haven't looked into it in a while, but essentially he's taking hundreds of supplements a day and he's like the healthiest man on the world.
Like he is reversing his age.
That's how healthy he is right now.
He's not aging as fast as we are.
His organs, his health, all of his markers, all of his tests are healthier levels.
He's more optimal than the top 10% or 1% of 18 year olds.
So Brian Johnson, he's probably like 56 years old or something like that.
And he's healthier than me.
50 year old is healthier than me.
I'm about to be 18 years old and he is healthier than me.
And he takes hundreds of supplements every single day.
And so once I learned about that, I slowly started to change my viewpoints.
Like I said in the beginning, it's very beneficial to be able to change your viewpoints and change your opinions, your beliefs and your worldview.
And so I started slowly changing it.
And now I'm leaning towards pro supplements because I just think that they are extremely beneficial.
Only if they're high quality, like Brian Johnson only gets the highest quality supplements out there.
And there's a few supplements that I started taking.
One of them is Cistanch.
And it has definitely helped, I feel.
Another is Pine Pollen, which I took the mega dose.
I took two mega doses every day, which is basically you take like a big dosage.
I took one in the morning, one at night, and it was the powder form, Pine Pollen powder.
And that was definitely good.
But I ran out, so I stopped taking it for a couple of weeks.
But I ordered the tinkature, Pine Pollen tinkature, which is basically drops.
It's like a squeeze dropper that you, it's like a pipette that you drop Pine Pollen.
It's like a liquid form under your tongue and it's like more bioavailable and it absorbs better.
And so I bought one of those and that will come soon, like within the week.
And that like Pine Pollen is definitely good.
I'm definitely getting a lot of benefits off of that.
Now that was a type of supplement that I would have probably had even before I was against supplements.
Simply because it's natural and honestly it's more natural than creatine if you get Pine Pollen powder.
But, so right now I'm taking creatine, I take Cistanch, and there's this new thing that I added, magnesium powder.
So I just got, I searched magnesium powder and my friend said it's good for your sleep,
but it's also good for protection against EMFs, which is like Wi-Fi and stuff like that.
So I got that and I definitely, I haven't really noticed anything, but I haven't really been looking for noticeable changes.
So that's that, but I like it, I like the taste of it, so I still eat it and I already bought it, so I might as well keep using it.
I think that it's definitely benefiting me.
So that's the stuff that I use and I also eat salt, I pour salt into my water, like the first glass of water I wake up.
And the first thing I do is go to the bathroom, but then I go grab a glass of water, but before I fill up the water,
I pour a bunch of salt in there at the bottom of the glass, and then I put my Cistanch in, and then I put creatine in,
and then I pour water in, shake it around, and then I pour in the magnesium powder, and then I drink it all,
and then I fill up the glass all the way full this time.
Like the first time I fill it up, like maybe a fifth way up, and now I fill it all the way up, and then I drink it all.
So I get all of my supplements like right away.
And then I do the same thing at night time, but I only take magnesium, and sometimes I take Cistanch, but I haven't been lately at night time.
But that is, I've definitely found benefits with supplements, and I definitely recommend supplements.
I want to talk to you guys soon. I am going to be having a different microphone, but I'm not going back to my terrible old microphone that I had before episode 28.
Hopefully I won't be. My dad, like this, I'm borrowing this microphone from my dad, who needs it soon, like from now till tomorrow, I think.
I probably won't have this microphone tomorrow. And so I'm borrowing this from my dad, and I have been for like the past 21 days.
This is, well, more than, yeah, I think 21 days, because this episode is 49, and I started on 28.
So it's been like 21 days on this microphone, and my dad needs it back.
Like someone, one of his colleagues at work needs it back, or needs to use it.
So, but he has a different microphone that he said is higher quality and is better that I can use instead.
I might do that. I don't know. We'll see where things go. I'll figure it out.
But that's pretty much like what's going on lately.
This morning I studied Transurfine.
Oh, all right. So a couple of weeks ago, I started, actually, no, like last month, in two days last month.
So in like August 8th, I started balancing on a, I bought a medicine ball, a 10 pound medicine ball, and I started balancing on it.
So I just stand on it, do like squats, walk around on it, stand on one leg. I just practiced my balance on that ball.
And I told myself, I'm going to balance on it. I'm going to practice 10 minutes every day. Just add it to my routine.
So I did that for the past month, and I've gotten a lot better.
I can walk like all the way across my hallway on that. And there's one thing. I started doing this new thing.
So every once in a while, I do a new, like move on it. So I started walking around on it and then I started doing one-legged balancing,
which I am not going to one leg of balancing, but I started doing backwards walking, like walking backwards.
And it's actually really difficult. I can barely move on it. I can go, my progress on walking backwards is about the same progress as I was walking forwards when I first started.
But I'm definitely getting better at it every single day. And this morning I took a very big tumble.
Like I fell right on my butt and it was really loud. It was like 5.30 in the morning when I was doing it.
It was still dark out. My family was still sleeping. I fell right on my butt and it hurt pretty bad.
But I just got back up and started balancing again because you take falls and you just get back up and remember why you're doing this.
Because I'm doing this to be a better surfer. I am doing this so I can, once I get to Hawaii and start surfing, I'll have good balance.
That's why I'm doing it. Just remind myself why I'm doing this.
And that's another thing. For the past couple weeks, I've been cutting the practice short. I set a 12 minute timer and then I stop around like 4 minutes.
So I only do like 8 minutes of practice. And then sometimes I only do 6.
So I gotta quit slacking because it's literally just 2 more minutes. It's literally just 10 minutes of practice.
I can get through 10 minutes of practice. And the thing is, I am not reminding myself of why I'm doing it.
Like I stop and I cut it short because I forget why I'm doing it.
Obviously I remember but it's not at the top of my head.
So I just gotta keep reminding myself of my purpose, reminding myself of my destination.
Reminding myself that this has a purpose.
And that's one of the things that I cut short. Also, I've been cutting short my meditations.
Like 10 minutes, 5 minutes short.
That's something that's very beneficial in my day and I gotta stop cutting that short.
Remind myself why I'm doing this because I spent 17 years of my life destroying my brain with TikTok, YouTube, doing all that stuff.
And 17 years of my life has been shaping and molding my brain to hold me back to becoming an adherent to society.
And so meditation allows me to cleanse my brain of all that corruption and actually change my brain back to where it's supposed to be.
But with all that said, I wanna bring, to wrap things up, I wanna bring back,
I wanna go full circle and go back to what I bought last night, the CD player, the CD of Wave 1 from the gateway experience and the headphones.
I'm really looking forward to that and I already have plans.
I'm going to be setting up the CD player because it's just battery so I'll set it up, plug in my headset, put on the headset.
And then put it right next to my bed, which is a Tatami mat, just a mat on the floor.
And then I'm gonna lay down a blanket on top of my mat so there's like some cushion for my back.
Because if I lay, I found that if I lay on my back for a long time it gets sore.
And then I will put my pillow down, the buckwheat pillow, and then get another blanket.
And then lay on top of the first blanket, under the second blanket, put the headphones on, make my room dark like pitch black.
And then literally just put the blanket over me and then lay there motionless.
And then get into a deep meditative state, deep relaxation.
And that's the whole plan.
I'm gonna do that for like 30 minutes, 45 minutes, however long the CD lasts.
And then once I outgrow Wave 1, I'm gonna buy Wave 2.
It'll be like under a box, but it's definitely gonna be worth it.
