35. 1:18becoming
36. 1:19the true version of yourself is knowing

54. 1:59outsourcing it and living in comfort and
55. 2:02being, you know, okay with
56. 2:05uh status quo. [ __ ] status quo, man. Be
57. 2:07great. Be the best version of yourself.
58. 2:09Follow your path. If this was your last
59. 2:11night on Earth,
60. 2:13would you be at peace with that? Would
61. 2:15you be content with the way that you
62. 2:17have lived your life thus far? Are you
63. 2:19okay with the way things are?
64. 2:22Most guys
65. 2:23say,
66. 2:25"Mhm, no, I don't think so."
67. 2:27And I go, "Well, why?"
68. 2:29"Oh, man, I would have
69. 2:31Dude, I would have liked to have
70. 2:33traveled the world."
71. 2:35Okay, well, why are you not traveling
72. 2:36the world? I don't I don't know. Money,
73. 2:38family, whatever. Okay, well, get the
74. 2:40money, take your family with you, go
75. 2:42travel the world. Like do that. That's
76. 2:44part of the reason you've come. And I
77. 2:46feel like we all know,
78. 2:48like
79. 2:49intuitively, we know what we want to do
80. 2:52or ought to be doing, but we don't do
81. 2:54it. We neglect it. And that's the path
82. 2:56of pain.
83. 2:57So, path two, the path of conscious
84. 3:00vitality, is tuning into your intuition,
85. 3:02going, "Okay, so if I'm not at peace
86. 3:04with how things are right now, let me
87. 3:06ask myself, what do I need to do to be
88. 3:09content? If tomorrow comes,
89. 3:12will I be content?" No, okay, well,
90. 3:15start doing the things that are going to
91. 3:16make you feel peaceful and content with
92. 3:19being like leaving this Earth, because
93. 3:21we're going to die. That's the other
94. 3:23thing Guruji taught me.
95. 3:24He said, "Look,
96. 3:26you're going to die, I'm going to die.
97. 3:27You're not a man, I'm not a man, I'm a
98. 3:29soul. And we're here for a temporary
99. 3:30period of time, okay? So, how we use
100. 3:33that time is really important. And I
101. 3:35like to reflect and contemplate on my
102. 3:37life, on my own mortality, because that
103. 3:40helps me be a better person.
104. 3:42There is uh teachings in the Yoga Sutras
105. 3:45of Patanjali, which I'll do another
106. 3:47video another day, but there's five
107. 3:49causes of human suffering
108. 3:51that we all experience. And the last one
109. 3:54is fear of death. That's a big one. And
110. 3:57a lot of people manipulate you with
111. 3:59that. Or try to manipulate me. They try
112. 4:01to make you feel fearful cuz they know
113. 4:03that that's one of the
114. 4:05things that human beings most fear.
115. 4:07That's why I contemplate my own death so
116. 4:08I can live a fulfilling, enriched,
117. 4:11happy, content life. So when I leave
118. 4:14this earth, I'm at peace. I know that
119. 4:15it's not the end. This body will cease
120. 4:17to be. It'll turn to dust, gone. But
121. 4:20like my soul will move on. It's
122. 4:22omniscient, omnipresent. It's eternal.
123. 4:25It was never born. It'll never die. And
124. 4:27so are you. And that's the knowledge you
125. 4:29need to remember and understand.
126. 4:31But it starts with knowing thyself.
127. 4:33Fitness is the training grounds, the
128. 4:34breeding ground for knowing thyself.
129. 4:36What are you made of? And no, I'm not
130. 4:38talking about ego. I'm just talking
131. 4:39about challenge yourself. Make yourself
132. 4:42willingly uncomfortable and learn to be
133. 4:44the master of yourself by being
134. 4:46comfortable being uncomfortable. That's
135. 4:48the system. That's how you do it. Then
136. 4:50you can take that out into the world and
137. 4:52you can be the best version of yourself.
138. 4:55Okay? So I'm going to leave you on that
139. 4:56note. I'm going to say, "Hey,
140. 4:58if this was your last night on earth,
141. 5:01are you content with the life that you
142. 5:02lived thus far?"
143. 5:05Hm.
144. 5:07If the answer is yes,
145. 5:09beautiful. God bless you. Keep doing
146. 5:11that. The answer is no,
147. 5:14okay. Maybe you take your journal out.
148. 5:16You write. You think, "What are those
149. 5:18things? What's What's missing? Why am I
150. 5:20not at peace?" And you start to do those
151. 5:23things.
152. 5:24And maybe even share in the comments if
153. 5:26you feel inclined. That'd be pretty
154. 5:28cool.
155. 5:29One of my things is when I started to
156. 5:31awaken, uh
157. 5:33realize that whoa, I'm this eternal
158. 5:35immortal being having this temporary
159. 5:36experience in this body,
160. 5:38oh my god, I've done a lot of wrong
161. 5:39things in that ignorance and not knowing
162. 5:41that. Oh my god, I've caused a lot of
163. 5:43people pain. So I started
164. 5:45writing emails to people who I caused
165. 5:47pain to in the past. Hey, I'm really
166. 5:49sorry. I'm making some serious life
167. 5:50changes in my life and I've realized
168. 5:52some things and I'm very sorry for that.
169. 5:54So I started writing my wrongs. Maybe
170. 5:56you start there. I don't know.
171. 5:58But if you were to die tonight,
172. 6:01are you content?
173. 6:03Okay? I'm going to leave you on that. I
