So in a recent morning, I was really doubting myself.
I was really doubting whether I was actually making progress, whether I was actually like
going to achieve my goals.
I was really doubting my future.
It's like when you let that doubt overcome you, it's scary because it's hard to escape that.
And so I was doing my workout in the morning and I was literally just like walking around,
literally questioning like, is this going to be enough, is this enough?
Am I going to achieve my goals? Am I going to find success?
All this stuff, it's been seven months since I started the podcast, not much results.
But then I'm just like, I'm still like rummaging through my thoughts and my thoughts are running rampant.
Literally just going off on their own.
And all of a sudden, I just get this burst of energy.
I'm just like, no, no, no, I'm a beast.
And I just like punch a metal structure.
It hurt really bad, but I just like run around.
I'm like, no, I'm doing this.
Like this is exactly what I'm supposed to be doing.
I am doing this like screw down.
And then I just like basically logically convinced myself.
After I convinced myself emotionally.
So like the first thing was convincing myself emotionally, getting myself out of that rut.
Like I was in a rut of doubt.
Literally my thoughts were doubting in a cycle.
And then I was like, no, I gotta get out of this because this is an emotional trap.
And the only way to free yourself from an emotional trap is to use emotion.
You can't use logic.
Like you can't just be like, oh, but like this and this and this, like that's why that didn't work.
That wouldn't work.
And I was trying to do that.
I was trying to be like, oh, but like this is logic.
It didn't work.
But the moment I would like literally remind myself to freaking hype up and get like excited and screw the doubt, slay that like literally absolutely freaking kill it.
Like obliterate that thing.
Like once I did that, that's when I was like, oh, like literally tension alleviated.
And so I was literally just like running around the park, literally like freaking phone like this, like hitting things.
And then like there's this, um, it's like a children's playground and I'm there at like five in the morning.
And there's this like bongo set, kind of like a plastic like drum set.
And I was just like playing a song.
It's like boom, boom, boom, boom.
And I was just like going crazy.
Literally just getting hype.
I was like, dude, screw that because the moment you allow doubt to freaking rampage your life.
That's when you lose.
Losers are doubters.
Never forget that.
And it goes the other way too.
Doubters are losers.
So, but we all doubt.
It's just a matter of who's going to actually destroy the doubt out of their mind or not before it comes too late.
So I destroyed that doubt and I was like, I was literally running around, running around the park.
And then I was like, once I got myself emotionally on the same level, then I could like reinforce it and reassure myself through logic.
I was like, okay, but this is like that.
And then like, if I do this for a certain amount of time, or if I do this until I get good enough, like, and that's when the logic comes in.
So much so that I literally like drew pictures for myself in my journal that night.
And I was literally drawing like, okay, this is what the graph looks like.
And then I'm at this point.
All I have to do is have patience and just keep getting better.
And then eventually I'll start to grow.
Like, eventually the rewards will start to compound.
Like I literally just went through an entire thing.
I probably spent like 30 to 45 minutes brainstorming logical reasons why I'll succeed.
Like that's how important logic is, but you have to get your brain to a certain point.
That's why public speakers,
they usually start with a story.
Like they're not just like, oh, if you do this, you'll get that.
Or like do this for me.
Like they never use logic right away.
They always use a story because a story puts them on an emotional level.
And it allows them to basically put their audience into the same emotional feelings that they were feeling at the time through their story.
And then that basically is the same thing that happened to me where I was like doubting.
The audience will be doubting.
But then I literally just like, freaking infuse my brain with like electric emotions of excitement.
Like hype.
All of the happy good emotions, freaking inserted into my brain like a hard drive.
And then that is when I was able to be like pliable.
That's when I was actually able to be persuaded through logic.
Like logic is useless until you actually use emotion to transfer their kind of like persona or baseline or whatever.
I'm kind of having a hard time describing this.
But basically public speakers have a crowd, they're let's say neutral or doubting.
Or even like a little bit positive.
Whatever.
They are all not warm enough to actually get, like to actually change through logic.
Because we're emotional creatures.
We don't make decisions based off of logic.
And then all the speaker has to do is get them onto the same emotional level to where they're logic.
Like they're where they're actually pliable through logic.
Just like how I did to myself.
Like that's all there is to it.
You just persuade them through the motion.
Like get them to feel the emotion and then persuade them through logic.
Like that's it.
