1. 0:00Jeffrey finally locked in a few years
2. 0:02ago although he lived his teenage years
3. 0:04like a loser after years of discipline
4. 0:07willpower and monk mode Jeffrey was able
5. 0:10to achieve every goal that he had but
6. 0:12then that's when the women came that's
7. 0:14when the parties came that's when the
8. 0:16traveling came the habits that built up
9. 0:18jeffy's success were no longer in his
10. 0:20daily routine because of that he fell
11. 0:22off
12. 0:23Adonis Adonis was able to not only
13. 0:26become successful but to keep it too for
14. 0:29he knew that discipline was not just the
15. 0:31root to the rewards of life that he
16. 0:33wanted but it was the path in itself it
17. 0:37was never about acquiring resources
18. 0:40money status or fame it was about living
19. 0:43day to day as your best most disciplined
20. 0:45self that's why Adonis is so fulfilled
21. 0:48in the two stories that I've just told
22. 0:50you about Jeffrey and Adonis I am
23. 0:52Jeffrey I became disciplined for the
24. 0:55first time in my life around 4 years ago
25. 0:58trimmed my hair off I had no dating apps
26. 1:01no Instagram genuinely no Instagram no
27. 1:03Snapchat I just worked I used to run to
28. 1:06the park trained there like Callis dens
29. 1:08like gymnastics and then I would go to
30. 1:09my garage where I had some dumbbells and
31. 1:12a barbell and i' just do like a raw Bare
32. 1:14Bones workout to a double workout there
33. 1:17and I would spend an hour I promise you
34. 1:19this is true I'm telling you like I used
35. 1:21to meditate for 1 hour every day for
36. 1:23longer than a year straight like it was
37. 1:26just in my routine to wake up 20 minutes
38. 1:28meditation go and train come back shower
39. 1:3120 minutes meditation eat work read all
40. 1:34like the self-improvement habits and
41. 1:36then 20 minutes before bed time I would
42. 1:38do another meditation session I would
43. 1:40journal for like an hour a day I would
44. 1:42read and that Relentless discipline
45. 1:45where I didn't hang out with friends I
46. 1:47didn't have sex for months I didn't
47. 1:49watch porn or anything like that I
48. 1:51promise you zero scrolling on Instagram
49. 1:54or Tik Tok I didn't even have those apps
50. 1:56on my phone for months 2 years living
51. 1:59like that got me to around 20
52. 2:02$330,000 per month it got me to a few
53. 2:04hundred th000 followers on YouTube and I
54. 2:07think I'm right in saying this I deserve
55. 2:10that I deserve the success that I
56. 2:12achieved in like 2022 when I started to
57. 2:15get hundreds of thousands of followers
58. 2:16and I hit 1 million subscribers because
59. 2:18I really locked in for that so if you're
60. 2:21watching this and you want to become
61. 2:23successful or you know you're going to
62. 2:24become successful let me just tell you
63. 2:27about my mistake so that hopefully you
64. 2:29can avoid the listen this isn't like a
65. 2:31normal YouTube video where I'm not
66. 2:32making this for views in fact this is
67. 2:34going to be embarrassing as [ __ ] so I
68. 2:35hope it doesn't get that many views but
69. 2:37if you are really like locked in I don't
70. 2:39just always want to talk to you about
71. 2:41how to lock in how to get the success I
72. 2:43want to preemptively tell you okay if
73. 2:45you're on track to getting the success
74. 2:47here's what I wish someone told me
75. 2:49before I had achieved it it's all about
76. 2:52discipline I'm not talking about
77. 2:53discipline to build the success I'm
78. 2:55talking about discipline to maintain it
79. 2:57because if you believe at some point you
80. 3:00will ease up on the discipline so that
81. 3:02you can enjoy more of life that's like a
82. 3:04cancer like think about this for a
83. 3:06second right be honest to yourself is
84. 3:08your perception of success kind of like
85. 3:11where you're locked in right now but at
86. 3:14some point you're kind of ease up and be
87. 3:16like a bit more of a degenerate you'll
88. 3:18[ __ ] a few more girls you'll party a bit
89. 3:20more you'll travel and stay in like the
90. 3:22luxurious places more because if it is
91. 3:25you might be on a path to the rise and
92. 3:28the fall as most people are the people
93. 3:30who achieve success and keep it are the
94. 3:33ones who never really desire the watch
95. 3:36or the fame or the girls in the first
96. 3:38place and they're not really even doing
97. 3:40it for the success anyway they're just
98. 3:42disciplined people and they get like a
99. 3:45sense of enjoyment and fun from the
100. 3:47discipline like for example showing up
101. 3:49to the gym three times a day to train
102. 3:51martial arts like that already is the
103. 3:53dream for them do you see the difference
104. 3:55here the guys who end up losing it all
105. 3:57which is what I feel like happened to me
106. 3:59I I haven't lost at all like I think
107. 4:01I've been able to like you know just
108. 4:02about stay not even like stay afloat
109. 4:04like I've been able to still maintain
110. 4:05like a solid like $
111. 4:07800,000 months in my business and like
112. 4:10it's still a good tight-knit audience of
113. 4:12guys who still like me and watch me but
114. 4:14I certainly could have been so much more
115. 4:16successful had I heeded this advice
116. 4:19earlier discipline is not just what
117. 4:21builds the success you need to stay
118. 4:23disciplin once you've built it like
119. 4:25that's the next game if you think you're
120. 4:27going to build a success you're going to
121. 4:28you know level up and get like nicer
122. 4:30attractive hair and the physique and the
123. 4:32money and the Clouts and that's when
124. 4:34you'll start like you know being a more
125. 4:36of a degenerate that's when you'll start
126. 4:37going to more parties that's when you'll
127. 4:39start enjoying yourself your mindset is
128. 4:41messed up and I urge you to just listen
129. 4:43to this what we need to do is create the
130. 4:46belief in our mind that the discipline
131. 4:48is the enjoyment of life because I will
132. 4:51tell you right now so here we're going
133. 4:52to get like unfiltered as [ __ ] and I'm
134. 4:54going to start telling you about like
135. 4:55[ __ ] so make sure your parents can't
136. 4:57hear this right I'm going to just tell
137. 4:59you the compl compl and honest truth I
138. 5:01achieved every goal that I wanted by the
139. 5:04time I was like 25 I was [ __ ] new
140. 5:06girls every single day I was invited to
141. 5:09parties and podcasts and social events I
142. 5:12moved to Thailand to Dubai I had like
143. 5:14apartments and Villas that cost over
144. 5:16$10,000 a month and I was living like
145. 5:18this young lavish lifestyle I was like
146. 5:20you know looking nice and I had like the
147. 5:21physique and everything I was enjoying
148. 5:24the fruits of my labor imagine the
149. 5:25season of life where I'm doing that
150. 5:27right imagine I'm waking up a little bit
151. 5:29late still going to the gym fine cold
152. 5:31approaching girls in the gym coming back
153. 5:33and just you know doing like a fake like
154. 5:341 hour of work whatever but like you
155. 5:36know kind of brain fog sleep deprived
156. 5:38not really pushing to the best of my
157. 5:40ability all of it's just getting ready
158. 5:42for the night time where a girl is going
159. 5:43to come around and like suck my dick and
160. 5:45that's like the height of like the
161. 5:46enjoyment of like you know the success
162. 5:48right the seasons where I had that the
163. 5:50months where I indulged I look back and
164. 5:53I I will tell you the genuine truth they
165. 5:55are not months which I deem as enjoyable
166. 5:59or fulfilling like for yourself as well
167. 6:01right you might not have like lived the
168. 6:02sort of rockar lavish lifestyle just yet
169. 6:05but think about the seasons where you
170. 6:07did do more of the pleasurable
171. 6:09undisciplined actions like think about
172. 6:11the week that you spent whenever it was
173. 6:13playing video games watching TV eating
174. 6:15junk food you think that that week's
175. 6:16going to be fun right you think it's
176. 6:18going to be enjoyable but you remember
177. 6:20the last week where you were in like a
178. 6:21rut you remember it right it wasn't an
179. 6:23enjoyable thing but it's so weird
180. 6:25because you're doing pleasurable
181. 6:27activities but you remember the last
182. 6:28time that you jacked off like multiple
183. 6:30times in a day that should have been a
184. 6:32day of so much pleasure and enjoyment
185. 6:35because you were doing the bad habit
186. 6:36that we always says was enjoyable but if
187. 6:38I ask you how was that last day where
188. 6:40you jacked off like three times you
189. 6:42telling me it was awful it was so
190. 6:43annoying embarrassing that's so in do
191. 6:46you understand like the weird
192. 6:47realization that I'm trying to give you
193. 6:49here fun is not fun that's a scop like
194. 6:53this idea that pleasure is fun is a
195. 6:56complete and utter lie here's how you
196. 6:57know what the truth is Imagine the day
197. 7:00where you did everything the day where
198. 7:02you checked off all the boxes in your
199. 7:04habit tracker you hit a really hard
200. 7:06workout you meditated you journaled you
201. 7:08worked on the business or your studies
202. 7:10imagine you had like such a discipline
203. 7:12day that was a day of limited pleasure
204. 7:15that was a day where you didn't actually
205. 7:16do that many fun habits and yet if I
206. 7:19asked you how pleasurable and fun was
207. 7:22that day you would tell me oh it was
208. 7:23sick bro I got everything done I did
209. 7:26this I recorded this video which was an
210. 7:28absolute banger I studied and I feel
211. 7:30ready for the course and I had this
212. 7:32massive workout that's so do you see how
213. 7:34interesting that is the day where you
214. 7:36did none of the fun bad habits you would
215. 7:39actually say was more fun and I'm
216. 7:41telling you this is the truth like you
217. 7:43need to get this into your mind do you
218. 7:44see the realization here I was in barley
219. 7:47a few months ago I went looking good and
220. 7:49everything knowing okay I'm going to
221. 7:50like basically slay I'm just going to be
222. 7:52a [ __ ] boy here I went for the first
223. 7:54like 1 month that I was here I was using
224. 7:56like the dating apps and I was cold
225. 7:58approaching and I was was meeting woman
226. 8:00after woman to the point that like I
227. 8:02remember like I just had like the exact
228. 8:04same routine of the same bar that I'd
229. 8:06meet them my assistant would book The
230. 8:08the sort of couch which meant that we'd
231. 8:09be sat right next to each other drinking
232. 8:11wine okay back to my place like
233. 8:13consistently I was doing everything that
234. 8:15I thought I wanted so many young guys
235. 8:17would be watching this thinking like oh
236. 8:19that sounds awesome and I wonder if
237. 8:20you'll tell us the routine right there
238. 8:22was so much pleasure during that time
239. 8:25but again if you ask me how was your
240. 8:27life during that season i' tell you like
241. 8:28I was actually pretty [ __ ] and youd be
242. 8:30why like didn't you like have so much
243. 8:32sex and i' be yeah but like look that's
244. 8:33not what makes a good life it's simply
245. 8:36just about how disciplined you've been
246. 8:38this time around like so I left Bary a
247. 8:40few months ago and then I came back
248. 8:41recently and this time I haven't been
249. 8:43like that this time I've been more
250. 8:45focused this time I've came in with more
251. 8:47of an intention like I really want to
252. 8:49get to the next level of my fitness so
253. 8:51I've been training kickboxing like
254. 8:52usually around two 2 and 1/2 hours per
255. 8:55day training with the pro Fighters
256. 8:57assuming that I'll have a fight in like
257. 8:583 to 6 months which I know I kind of
258. 9:00announced before and backed out I hope
259. 9:01this isn't one of those times but I've
260. 9:03been like training super super [ __ ]
261. 9:04hard right and then I even go to the gym
262. 9:06after that so I've been training like
263. 9:07three times a day I've had very little
264. 9:09time for like fun activities what's
265. 9:11interesting is if you asked me has this
266. 9:14trip been fun I would tell you [ __ ] yeah
267. 9:17I've learned so much I'm so proud of
268. 9:19myself I have so much respect for myself
269. 9:22and in fact other people have noticed
270. 9:24this as well I was in the gym like maybe
271. 9:26a week or two weeks ago and this guy
272. 9:28comes up to me and he's like are you
273. 9:30Hamza like you know he's a fan okay he's
274. 9:32like a really nice guy and then he goes
275. 9:34then I see him come back to me and he's
276. 9:36brought a girl with him and he says oh
277. 9:38yeah she used to watch your videos so
278. 9:40she's like proper polite and you know
279. 9:41she's like smiling she seems like really
280. 9:43happy and I'm just you know speaking to
281. 9:44her I'm genuinely like just being me
282. 9:47right I'm not even trying to like change
283. 9:48in any kind of way and she just stops
284. 9:50and she goes you look so happy I
285. 9:53remember watching your videos and it's
286. 9:55like your energy is just changed like
287. 9:57you seem so happy and so fulfilled with
288. 9:59life and I was like man that's that's
289. 10:01such a good compliment and I am I feel
290. 10:02like I'm on the right path now I'm not
291. 10:04wasting my time I'm not being a
292. 10:06degenerate I'm just working I'm just
293. 10:08grinding now I'm really being more
294. 10:10disciplined than I've been in a while
295. 10:12and you know she seemed like happy for
296. 10:13me then I end up not with her but like
297. 10:15with a different girl from the gym I end
298. 10:17up taking this different girl to the
299. 10:19kickboxing gym with me that's kind of
300. 10:21like a wholesome little date right I
301. 10:22just like take a girl I'm going to teach
302. 10:24her kickboxing and we're having a fun
303. 10:26time we're laughing and everything and
304. 10:28she said the same thing to to me she was
305. 10:29like you know what Hamza you seem so
306. 10:31happy she knew me from like a few months
307. 10:32ago when I was in more of the
308. 10:34pleasurable season of my life and she
309. 10:36seemed like oh you look like you're way
310. 10:37more fulfilled with life right now
311. 10:39what's different about it and I said
312. 10:41like yeah I feel a lot more complete I'm
313. 10:43actually doing the discipline habits so
314. 10:45it's very interesting the point that I'm
315. 10:46trying to get to you is we think that
316. 10:48the fun pleasurable bad habits are how
317. 10:51you get enjoyment in life the reason why
318. 10:54many of us grind and try to work hard in
319. 10:56the physique or the looks maxing or the
320. 10:58money is because we feel like we're
321. 11:00setting up our future selves for more of
322. 11:02that kind of pleasure like we look Max
323. 11:04because we want our future self to have
324. 11:06access to more sex we make more money so
325. 11:08we want our future self to have access
326. 11:09to more parties and social occasions
327. 11:11whatever but I'm here to basically just
328. 11:13cut that belief in half and tell you
329. 11:16that the version of you whether you've
330. 11:17worked for it or not that enjoys the
331. 11:20success will actually have less
332. 11:23enjoyments in his life than the version
333. 11:25of you that stays disciplined forever an
334. 11:28example of of this is Conor McGregor and
335. 11:31khabib if you've seen their story it's
336. 11:33like these two big MMA fighters Conor
337. 11:35McGregor was like the most famous MMA
338. 11:37fighter but he was also kind of like a
339. 11:39loud mouth and also like the kind of guy
340. 11:41who would enjoy his success so when he
341. 11:43started to get success he started to
342. 11:44like party take drugs get like really
343. 11:47arrogant about himself whereas khabib is
344. 11:49like a Muslim like stripped and
345. 11:51basically they ended up having like a
346. 11:52fight together like an MMA fight for
347. 11:54like the big championship belt it's like
348. 11:56one of the biggest fights I think and
349. 11:58khabib wins of course he does like you
350. 12:00didn't need me to tell you that of
351. 12:01course the guy who stays disciplined is
352. 12:03going to win compared to the guy who's
353. 12:05partied a few times during the season
354. 12:07but what's more interesting is what
355. 12:08happened afterwards because they both
356. 12:10became like icons of this sport they
357. 12:13both got tens of millions of followers
358. 12:16on their social media Conor McGregor
359. 12:18seemed to have become like a degenerate
360. 12:19and there's clips of him in just like
361. 12:21random clubs like cheating on his wife
362. 12:23and he's you know he's just like
363. 12:24partying with people who just like him
364. 12:26for his Fame and everything and he just
365. 12:28seems to be like a lot it's like you
366. 12:29like a boy who's got access to man
367. 12:32pleasure and of course no offense look
368. 12:33look he's a strong guy he beat the [ __ ]
369. 12:35out of me of course so I'm just like a
370. 12:36random guy chatting [ __ ] about someone
371. 12:37who's stronger than me and more
372. 12:39successful or whatever but you can sense
373. 12:41the lack of fulfillment in a guy who's
374. 12:43like that you know it's easy to say like
375. 12:44listen oh but you know he's built the
376. 12:46success so fair enough let him enjoy it
377. 12:48but you can just tell he's having less
378. 12:50enjoyment in his life because the guy
379. 12:52who needs enjoyment through stimulation
380. 12:55and pleasure through fleeting highs like
381. 12:58sex and genery and parties that isn't a
382. 13:01fulfilled guy it just simply is not
383. 13:03anyone who tells you like oh but you
384. 13:05know just enjoy the success and they
385. 13:07need stimulation for that they're not
386. 13:09having real enjoyment in life and then
387. 13:11you see what happened with kabib so he
388. 13:13gets offered like tens of millions or
389. 13:15even $ hundred million do to come back
390. 13:17to the UFC like to become a fighter
391. 13:19again but he retired and he's just kind
392. 13:20of like living a wholesome life back at
393. 13:23his home that's what I assume anyway he
394. 13:25left Undisputed which meant like he
395. 13:26never lost so he has a clean track
396. 13:28record like he won like 26 fights in a
397. 13:31row never lost one you don't see clips
398. 13:33of kabib in in parties drinking now
399. 13:35what's interesting look here we have one
400. 13:37guy Connor who probably makes more money
401. 13:39and he's enjoying himself more he's
402. 13:42going to parties and clubs and drinking
403. 13:44and drugs then we have a guy who's
404. 13:46probably made less money from the sport
405. 13:48even though he was like more of the
406. 13:49winner he's not enjoying himself with
407. 13:52the parties and drugs and drinking but
408. 13:53if you just saw one picture of each of
409. 13:56them like in the kind of environments
410. 13:57where they've been spotted you could
411. 13:59tell who lives a more fulfilling life so
412. 14:02it's so interesting people think like
413. 14:03they'll build up the success and then
414. 14:05you know start enjoying it just what if
415. 14:07you start to visualize that you'll never
416. 14:09stop the discipline but secondly also we
417. 14:11realize that we wouldn't want to just
418. 14:13sit around and do nothing as we may have
419. 14:14seen our grandparents live quite like a
420. 14:16boring life but still want to have some
421. 14:18work that feels purposeful so we're
422. 14:20going to have purposeful work that we
423. 14:22want to work hard on for the rest of our
424. 14:23lives like up until we die you can go
425. 14:25ahead and try it yourself right you've
426. 14:27had those seasons and perhaps you'll
427. 14:28have more where you do fall off where
428. 14:30you're not as disciplined where you
429. 14:31start you know like you've got a good
430. 14:32physique so you start eating more junk
431. 14:34food you've got good mental health so
432. 14:36you start skipping the meditation you've
433. 14:38got good money so you start spending it
434. 14:40more and just see how you feel during
435. 14:43those periods it's stimulating to go buy
436. 14:45stuff it's stimulating to go like speak
437. 14:47to a girl and to be a degenerate of
438. 14:49course it is but when you look back
439. 14:51you're not actually glad for those
440. 14:53periods discipline is the only way to
441. 14:55live life it it it is the only way it is
442. 14:58the corner Stone of life and so what is
443. 15:00discipline discipline is doing the hard
444. 15:02work especially when you don't feel like
