Self Improvement Is Just MAST*RBATION
F*ck self-improvement. This is what they don't tell you:
Self Improvement Is Just MAST*RBATION
Hey ,
If you’re doing all these self-improvement habits, you are just doing them for an ego trip. You are doing them so you feel good about yourself and feel like you’re better than others.
I’m not saying self-improvement is bad, but this is what a lot of young guys, this is what younger me, didn’t understand and needed to know – all these self-improvement habits are useless if they are not in service of a greater goal/purpose.
You need a why.
Why do you meditate? Is it because Hamza told you to? Or is it so that you can be more focussed when you work, so you can be more present in your relationships?
Do you read because Hamza said it’s a good habit? Or do you read because you actually have a hunger to gain knowledge in your particular skill or area of interest so that you can apply it towards your purpose?
My goal, my purpose right now is to build up this YouTube channel, to eventually become financially free and support my family. It is to improve my social skills so that I can build a circle of meaningful relationships. All of the other stuff I do (building my physique, learning, improving my mental health) is in service of these goals.
This is just a subtle tweak, but this shift in mindset will refocus you and help you to actually be more productive and live a more fulfilled life.
Have a brilliant day,
From Yvan
