Alright guys,
this is kinda like a break down of the week,
what's going on,
what's happening.
Give you a bit of an update.
And kind of want to show you about
how I'm trying to improve myself.
Because I think you inspire by doing things.
But first,
let me show you something.
I mean this is me.
I was freaking huge.
Kind of looks like...
Nevermind.
Anyway, that picture reminded me
about how fat I actually was.
And how far behind I was on my own fitness goals.
It was a reminder to me that
I had set myself out to be fit this year
and I'm nowhere near that.
Because I honestly wanted a body
from something like Rain from ninja
or from the 300
as you would all know.
You know, and it kind of hurts
going back and seeing yourself,
F*ck! I've got nothing done.
Because here on this channel,
I'm trying to inspire and motivate people.
But yet, I'm failing in my own personal goals.
So I want to be upfront.
I've been lost along the way.
I've had distractions conquer me.
And now I've had months of no productivity.
I've got absolutely really nothing done.
I look back at playing games
and all the times I sat around and didn't do things
and I can't help but feel upset.
And you get that feeling
that you have achieved nothing.
And it feels absolutely sh*t!
So this is how I'm gonna start
dealing with these things.
Because sometimes you feel kind of defeated.
You feel lost.
And then so, you give up.
Because sometimes I look back
at all the things I'm doing
and I don't know if I'm finding meaning
from what I'm doing now.
My everyday work is a dentist.
I'm not sure if I want to be a dentist in the long term.
So my journey kind of starts here.
I'm gonna deconstruct exactly what I want to aim for
and how I'm gonna get there.
And so this is kind of a video for myself.
I want to tell myself it's okay to be lost.
It's okay to not know where you're going sometimes.
It's part of the journey.
Distractions get in your way.
You lose what you're trying to do.
But it's okay.
You take stock of that.
You look back on it.
So the first thing I'm gonna do is
I want to plan just the next year.
And I know everyone says
Oh, you should plan like 10 years ahead,
20 years ahead,
maybe even just 5 years ahead.
But I find that so unrealistic.
I don't know how you can plan for 5 to 10 years,
if you can't even plan for one.
Let's take this channel for example.
I want to give it a better chance.
I want to start a podcast.
I want to make more videos.
I wanna give you more content.
And so that's what my plan for this channel
is gonna be.
But at the same time, I want to be fit.
I want to be healthy.
As you can see
my reminder for this year
was a silly picture of myself when I was 12.
Maybe I was older...
I did try a little bit this year.
But not really,
that's just an excuse.
I didn't do it as much as I should have.
I should have stuck to the regimen.
I started eating unhealthy sometimes.
I started taking days off for exercising.
So I looked up regimens on how I'm gonna do it
and 6 times a week,
that's my goal.
And finally, I want to master a language.
Now this one's a tricky one
because I never really understood
the reason why I wanted to do it.
And I think that's so important
when you don't know what you're doing it for,
then don't do it.
Because you end up putting half your heart in there
and not really attempting it.
And if you don't attempt something hard enough,
you won't get it done.
And that's what happened to me.
I can speak a few little languages
here and there casually.
But can I speak them fluently?
None!
Not a single one.
So I set myself a deadline.
Next year I want to spend a few months in Korea
and to do that,
I need to really push myself to do this goal.
So I've set the hours I'm gonna do every week
and I'm gonna do it.
And I hope you can set your goals
and do exactly the same thing.
Now I just wanna notice something that I have
figured something out about deadlines.
Now this is really important
and I really want to break this down for you.
When you set yourself a deadline,
a deadline is only good
if you actually have a consequence.
Otherwise, it's not a real deadline.
If you think about it,
when someone says, I have to fly in 3 days,
there's a deadline now.
It's very clear he has to leave.
If you set an arbitrary month
or an arbitrary day that this is your deadline,
it's not good enough.
Because it's not a genuine deadline.
So what I realized was
when I set myself out,
a month,
a certain specific day
that I'm gonna fly out to go to Korea,
that has now become my deadline.
And so you should have a deadline
that is very clear on what you gotta do.
And some of these things may sound like
silly consequences
but a good example is
you just give your friend a hundred dollars.
Now obviously it has to be a friend that you trust.
But once you give him the hundred dollars,
you tell him don't give me this back
if I am not at a certain specific part of my goal
at this point in time.
It's a consequence.
A deadline doesn't work
unless you have a consequence.
But something bigger
sort of happened for me this moment was
when it finally dawned on me,
hey, what happens if you die tomorrow?
What happens if you die in a few years?
Now I know a lot of people will think
that's kind of silly.
Like why would you think like that?
We're obviously gonna live.
In some ways,
that's kind of the reason we don't get sh*t done.
Historically, we didn't know
if we were gonna live the next day.
We had predators.
We had dinosaurs as well.
I think we had dinosaurs.
You don't know if you were gonna live.
So you want to live your life to the fullest.
And tomorrow is so certain
that we are okay with delaying our goals.
Now I know this is going a bit deep.
I may not attain all my goals.
But I want to say that live
achieving or trying to achieve
those very goals that I set myself out to do.
Because some things are
genuinely out of your control.
If I'm on a plane,
it may crash.
Because there was a recent story this year
of this guy who was stuck in a traffic jam
and he couldn't reach his plane in time
and the plane set off without him.
And he was angry, he was frustrated.
But moments later he found out
that this plane had crashed
and like 180 people had lost their lives.
When I read that article, I was like holy f*ck!
Life can change in an instant.
Because of a traffic jam
which you probably are frustrated about
and you're angry
because you lost some money as well
and you lost time,
it was the actual reason your life was saved.
I remember meeting this family a long time ago,
who had saved so much money,
so that they could retire super early.
But then the wife was diagnosed with cancer.
I think now we take life kind of for granted.
We really do.
So I start to list
all the things that consumed my time.
Computer games.
Pointlessly walking around the house.
Eating garbage.
Man, I was wasting all these moments.
They may look like nothing.
They may look small.
But when you go back on your own year
you're like, where the f*ck did it all go?
So now it's genuinely different.
I feel the urge to get rid of all this sh*t.
And it's taken me 30 years to realize this.
If you're younger or older,
it doesn't matter.
You can just start now.
Life really is too short.
You just don't know when it's gonna stop.
Now I need to take a breather here and say,
this is not a YOLO moment
where you guys spend all your money
and just go f*cking partying all the time
or go celebrating and just doing pointless crap.
It's that you got time to achieve
the sh*t you want to do.
And if you don't achieve the stuff you want,
or at least be on the path to achieve it
before you can no longer do things,
then what are you gonna do?
It's a call out that
you got to achieve the sh*t you want to do
or at least be on the path of doing it
before life takes its turn.
There are people I see at the hospital,
in motorcycle accidents
and it's not even their fault.
But because they were there
and someone else had probably been drunk driving
or someone else was
looking at their mobile phone while driving.
It was because someone else caused the accident
but this person has taken the consequence.
And now I don't want to sound so dark
cause I am actually a positive person by nature.
But I do believe that
being a bit more genuine and honest with you all,
saying that, look, I also don't achieve my goals.
I'm not invincible.
I wish I could
but the amount of videos
I probably could have turned out this year
were higher.
And I am thankful for your support.
I found that you need to inspire and motivate people
by actually doing,
by people seeing you.
People may not be watching you at first.
But when they can see you in the corner of their eye,
doing something amazing
and starting to achieve,
that's how you instil
a moment of inspiration
and motivation in other people.
And that is where I want to start.
So everyone, this video is kind of me just saying,
I need to achieve some sh*t in my life.
There are so many times I can look back
and say I have wasted time.
So I'm not gonna slack around any more.
If you feel like you haven't achieved anything,
you probably have.
But even if you haven't,
it's okay.
Because you can start now.
Your life is too short to let it go to waste.
So go on achieve something
that you can be proud of.
Guys, I would love your feedback on this one.
Tell me what you think.
And I will be doing a bit more of these videos
a lot more often
as promised.
I'll see you all soon!
