So I remember finding out about personal development, and I thought it was just the greatest thing.

法助動詞 A2

I basically sucked at everything, but I realized, "Hey, I can improve whatever

But I ran into a problem that almost everyone going through the same

journey runs into which is basically starting to want to improve

So it goes something like this... This is awesome!

Starting tomorrow I'm going to wake up early, meditate for an hour,

go to the gym for two hours, go to work and as soon as that's done,

go to a martial arts class, come home and learn how to play the guitar

because I've always wanted to play it, and once I'm done with that,

I know it's really late, but I'm going to work on my five different

And that sounds so good because all of a sudden you're excited about

Here are the two most likely outcomes of that dream...

The first, and the most likely one, is that you won't be able to actually do it.

I don't care how great you think your willpower is,

because willpower's like a battery. It gets drained.

So when you start your day off trying to be the Dalai Lama,

and then Ronnie Coleman, and then Anderson Silva,

and then Jimi Hendrix, and finally at midnight,

you want to be Mark Zuckerberg, You won't be able to get to the Silva, Hendrix,

and Zuckerberg point, if you even make it that far

The other option, and this is very unlikely,

is let's assume a hypothetical situation where you somehow can manage and consistently get

through all those things. In this unlikely scenario,

the best outcome is that you'll still end up being average at everything.

So we're talking about success here in terms of how it's usually defined.

We think of the Dalai Lama as a success at what he does,

we think of Ronnie Coleman as a success at what he does,

same thing with Anderson Silva, and Jimi Hendrix, and Mark Zuckerberg.

Now if you look at all those people, what do they have in common?

You don't see Mark Zuckerberg busting through his shirt.

Why? Because if he dedicated his daily hours and focus

to his workouts, he just wouldn't be Mark Zuckerberg.

Same thing with Ronnie Coleman. If he's going to be up on the stage in 6 months,

he's focusing on one thing, and that's his physique.

He's not playing the violin while building awesome business websites.

And all of that leads us to this idea of the ONE thing.

Every person who we view as successful has the ONE thing that they focus on.

If it's Mozart, it's the piano. It's not the piano plus hitting the gym,

and shooting a basketball for hours. If it's Lebron James, it's basketball.

It's not basketball plus playing the piano, and trying to compose for hours.

Now let me make this clear that I'm not here to define success for you.

Your definition of success might be different than what's commonly accepted.

Maybe for you, Mozart and Lebron James aren't successful.

Maybe you like the idea of being okay at everything, and having a more balanced lifestyle.

And that's fine. I'm not here to tell you what you should do

But if you're asking about how to be successful and success is defined for you by

someone like Mozart in music or Lebron James in basketball,

you do have to realize that there's almost no balance

with that kind of success. There just isn't.

So if you've been following the channel, I took a month off from making these videos

and this was one of the biggest things I had to think about.

What do I want? And it wasn't an easy choice.

On one hand, I could pick a very balanced lifestyle.

Wake up and dedicate my time to whatever I want

like the gym every day, the piano every day, cooking awesome meals every day,

thinking about and exploring all the different business ideas

that come to my head every day, and a hundred other things that I'm slightly

which is read as much as I can and then share those ideas.

And that's what I ended up picking. So my ONE thing literally consists of just

reading and researching all day and my ONE thing at night is spending quality

The only other thing I really do is go to the gym,

and I've had to cut that down to full body workouts as well.

And if you've noticed, my posting pattern has been a lot more different

than it used to be. I mean there's no way I could be posting at

this pace if I decided to have balance and not focus

on this ONE thing. There's no way I can be hitting the gym for

two hours every day, getting better at playing the piano,

cooking gourmet meals all day, focusing on 5 different other business ideas,

and then consistently be putting out videos and focusing on my reading,

so I can turn this into something great, because my willpower battery is going to be

completely empty by the time I get to it.

Are you a Zuckerberg who's trying to also look like a bodybuilder?

What do you want?! That's the most important question here!

When I'm trying to explain a book, I like to use real life examples of how something

would be done, but I think I make it come across like

I accept and fully implement a 100% of every book I read,

which I guarantee you has never happened with any book

no matter how great. And I also sometimes phrase things in a way

that implies that you should do something, which isn't my intention either.

I genuinly don't care about what you do. I don't go to sleep at night worrying about

whether people are unconscious in front of the TV at home

So if you want to have a balanced life, I'm not here to tell you that you need to

be a success at something. And I'm not here to tell you how you should

think of success either. But, if you want to know how to be a success,

and you define success like it's usually defined, then I'm here to explain it.

The only way you're going to get there is by understanding what your ONE thing is

and then completely focusing on that. I wish there was a way to have a perfectly
