0:47 brain this is true it's what allows us to learn love think create and even to experience Joy it's the gateway to our emotions to our capacity for deeply experiencing life to our ability to have lasting intimacy do you guys know the meaning of intimacy what is the meaning of intimacy it allows us to innovate grow and accomplish really this is very true and I mean it's obvious but we don't think about our brain so much but it's the

1:34 biggest blessing our like if you're if you're a healthy person mentally that is your biggest blessing just that in itself so I always pray about that mental health is very very important Guys Without mental health we wouldn't be able to do anything and we we are the only creatures on Earth with I mean not all people we have some crazy crazy people out there but as humans we are the only creatures with the ability to think so anyway yet few of us realize

2:20 that by applying a handful of practical methods we can enhance our brain and supercharge our ability supercharge our ability to learn most of us know that we can improve we can improve our card cardiovascular uh Health cardiovascular health through exercise and diet but most of us do not realize that we can also greatly improve our brains and in doing so our life what is the meaning of cardiovascular I'm I'm also testing your level guys so let's see what is the

3:07 meaning of cardiovascular what is cardiovascular very good Joey heart related yeah so anything related to Heart cardio means heart so cardiovascular that's how it's pronounced cardiovascular not cardiovascular but very good nun the blood vessels yes so related to the heart so you see most of us know

3:55 that we can improve our cardiovascular health through exercise and diet but most of us do not realize that we can also greatly improve our brains and in doing so our life unfortunately our world doesn't Foster a healthy environment for our brain before Jim quii provides a road map to become um Limitless he indicts he indicts or indicts this is actually a new word for me too H I think it's Indi

4:42 yeah yeah I mean I knew the the other meaning to indict someone like to call them you know to call somebody or to to charge someone with a crime and they have to go to court indict he was indicted so but I'm curious if the same uh like the pronunciation is the same for the other meaning anyways so

5:28 yeah indict there you go yeah indict so he indicts the four growing villains that are challenging to our capacity to think Focus learn grow and be fully human basically to indict means to who knows the meaning of inv indict so to indict means uh like I told you earlier to charge someone with a crime or like to com to accuse someone of something so or to say

6:15 that something is responsible for something else so he says he indicts the foreg growing villains that are challenging that are challenging uh our capacity to think Focus learn grow and be fully human the first one is what digital Deluge digital Deluge what does that mean the unending flood of information in a world of finite time an unfair expectation that leads to overwhelm anxiety and sleeplessness so we are gu guys yeah

7:00 guys we are living at the age of excessive information there's so much information that we don't know what's truth what's fake what's reality everyone comes out with a new book everyone comes out with a new method with a new religion with a new whatever so there's so much information that we can't believe and you know stay fix like stay focused on one thing right so this is the first one this is the first challenge drowning in data and Rapid

7:46 change we long for strategies and tools to regain some semblance of pro productivity performance and peace of mind the second villain is digital distraction digital distraction this is like the big big big big challenge like who here like who in the comments can you tell me how many times you check your phone or you check social media I know we are on social media I know we're on Tik Tok but how many times have you checked your phone today

8:33 I will say for me I can admit that I had my phone with me all day 30 times Brenda I'm pretty sure you you checked your phone I mean I don't know where you're from if you're from here and it's late at night you had all day I'm pretty sure you checked your phone at least a 100 times eight hours a day that's crazy it's really sad I am guilty of it myself it's very very dangerous I will say though when I focused on something I don't get notification so I can work on um

9:22 projects work I can get stuff done but man this is a big big problem so the second villain is what somebody says only when I left work at 400 p.m. but checking it till 1000 p.m. so there you go so from 4: from 4: to 10 p.m. that's 6 hours it's it's really really dangerous imagine you know exercising one of those hours you know or reading for 30 minutes let's see and then somebody else say 10 hours a day oh my God so bad how how

10:09 many times or how often do you check your phone so the reason I asked where you're from Brando is because you know some people are from the other side of the world and it's it's only morning so uh those people maybe if they check to 30 minutes and that's pretty crazy but so anyways What's the title of the book joined late all right I will tell you in a minute but this this book is about the brain uh all right so digital distraction the fleeting ping of digital dopamine dopamine pleasure replaces our ability to sustain the attention

10:56 necessary for deeper relationship deep deep learning or deep work I recently sat next to a friend at a lecture and noticed her picking up her phone multiple times within a few minutes I asked I asked for her phone and pulled up the screen time screen time app she had picked up her phone more than 1,000 times oh my God and had 1,000 notifications in one day texts social media notifications emails and news

11:41 alerts while important in context can derail our concentration and train us to be distracted from what matters most in the moment so really really dangerous guys the best thing you can do is turning off your notifications the next villain is digital dementia digital dementia a muscle sorry memory is a muscle that we have allowed to atrophy while there are benefits to having a supercomputer in your pocket think of it like an electric bike it's

12:27 fun and easy but doesn't get you in shape research on dementia proves that do you guys know the meaning of do you guys know the meaning of dementia it's a mental disability where you you have memory problems you know dementia it's fun and easy but it doesn't get you in shape research on dementia proves that the greater our capacity to learn the more mental brainer brainer size we perform the lower our risk of Dementia in many cases we have outsourced our memory to our

13:14 detriment the best brain damaging villain the last Brain damaging villain is digital deduction what is digital deduction in a world where information is abundantly accept access ible we've perhaps gone too far in how we use that information even getting to the point where we're letting technology do much of our critical thinking and reasoning for Us online there are so many conclusions being drawn by others that we have begun to surrender our own ability to draw conclusions this is very true we don't like to think we just want the internet to think for us we would never let another person do our thinking

14:00 for us but we've gotten far too comfortable with letting devices have that very power crazy the cumulative cumulative cumulative means like Collective when you collect a a bunch of stuff so the cumulative effects of these four digital villains robers of our attention focus learning and most importantly our ability to truly think it robs us of our mental Clarity and results in brain fatigue distraction inability to easily

14:46 learn and of course an unhappiness because when you check social media you're continuously comparing your life to other people when you're seeing sad stuff it affects your emot tions while the technological advances of our time have the potential to both help and harm the way we use them in our society can lead to an epidemic of overload memory loss distraction and dependency and it's only going to get worse the message of this book couldn't be more timely you were born with the ultimate technology and there is nothing more important than the health and fitness of our brain it controls

15:31 everything in life learning how to filter all the data to develop new methods and skills for thriving in a distracted World drawn drowning in a flood of information is what is needed to thrive in the 21st Century Learning and the ability to learn faster and more easily makes everything else in life possible which means that it's never been a better time to train your brain the way you do your body just like you want a healthy body you want a flexible strong energized fit brain that's what Jim does for a living he's the potential he is the personal

16:19 trainer for the Mind same word somewhere we don't understand can you explain can you comment what word the four super villains are just an example of the limits you learn how to overcome in this book the key to living by the way I'm reading this book Limitless by Jim quick the four the four super villains are just an example of the limits you learn how to overcome in this book The Key To Living an exceptional life as Jim States is a process of unlimiting ourselves and he has cracked the code

17:05 for personal transformation and his Limitless model if you're struggling to reach a goal in any area you must first ask where is the limit most likely you're experiencing a limit in your mindset motivation or methods which means that it's not a personal shortcoming or failure pointing to any perceived lack of ability and contrary to what we tend to believe our barriers are not set we're in full control and can overcome overcome them at any time if our mindset is not aligned with our desires and goals we will never achieve

17:50 them this is very true I'm going to read it one more time and can somebody explain so if our mindset is not aligned with our desires and goals we will never achieve them can somebody say something about this what do you think how long have you been on live for uh about 15 minutes 20 minutes I will be here for another 15 this is just a quick uh live session uh starting this new book I may post this video on YouTube so we'll

18:35 see this just the introduction for that book your mind should want what your goal is yeah I like that sunshine I like your username Sunshine that's good uh so basically if you let's say you want to lose weight right that's a goal but if you're mindset is somewhere else then that's not going to work so aligned means being in Balance aligned with just like who knows about cars you know when you go and do alignment so alignment means like

19:22 balancing the tires and making sure like they are you know in good balance not the tires but the mechanics whatever anyways so so your mindset if you want to learn English for example you want to boost your English take it to the next level then you want to make sure that you that's your goal but you also need to really believe it so if our mindset is not aligned with our goal then we will never achieve them so you can say all day long oh yeah I want to lose weight I want to do this but you're just saying it it's critical

20:08 to identify your limiting beliefs stories and deeply held beliefs attitudes and assumptions about yourself and what's possible examining Excavating and expunging those beliefs is the first step to having a limitless mindset I was told I could do anything by my mother that I was smart capable and could be the best at anything I tried that deeply held belief allowed me to succeed beyond my wildest dreams but I also had the believe that relationships were hard and filled with pain and drama from witnessing my

20:53 parents' divorce and marriages it took me nearly 50 years to erase that belief and find real happiness in my marriage the second secret to Limitless life is your motivation Jim outlines three key elements to motivation first your purpose guys we just finished this book The Alchemist uh and the whole book is about what your personal Legend your purpose a if you don't have a purpose if you have a if you don't have a like a deep goal in life you will just be wandering around not knowing where you where

21:40 you're going so the first thing I really love that so first your purpose the reason why matters I want to age well and I'm committed to lifting weights and getting stronger even though it's not my favorite thing to to do the purpose supersedes the discomfort the second key is the ability to do what you want this requires energy energy requires something called Energy Management the science of human performance is critical to achieving your purpose eating whole unprocessed food exercise Stress Management quality deep sleep and skills of communication

24:02 you guys shortcoming held expunging witnessing outlines what are the previous words so shortcoming shortcoming means weakness those are really good words actually yeah shortcoming means like weak points about yourself like you say you know my strength my shortcomings um that is the meaning of shortcoming and then we got expunging let me tell you guys one secret you don't have to understand every single word even me personally I don't understand expunging you don't need to know if you understand what's going on you understand the context all the other words around it h you can

24:47 ignore that one you see examining you understand examining you understand Excavating so you don't need that ex Excavating those beliefs is the first step to having a limitless mindset so that's one trick guys you don't have to know every single word the next word witnessing witnessing means seeing something like to be a witness means to see something while it happens to watch something while it happens so to witness something that is what it means I don't know exactly where it was but that is the meaning of witness so you need to

25:32 witness what was it anyway yeah and then finally outline outline means like plan something to to device something like a plan to outline it this is my favorite part lastly the tasks must be bite size bite size means like very small small steps that lead to success floss one tooth read one page do one push-up meditate for one minute right second paragraph second last line

32:30 we are at the introduction what is your One Wish seriously if a genie offered to Grant you one wish but only one what would you ask for Limitless wishes of course now imagine that I'm your learning Genie and I can grant you one learning wish any any one subject or skill what one thing would you want to learn what subject or skill would be the equivalent of asking for infinite wishes who knows the meaning of

33:18 Genie who knows the meaning of equivalent equivalent equivalent very good Marcy equivalent means equal the same as so what subject or skill would be the same as asking for infinite wishes to learn how to learn right that's a powerful powerful statement because a lot of times it's not that you don't want to learn it's you don't know how to learn and you have to learn how to learn if you really knew how to learn faster smarter and better then you would

34:04 apply that to everything you could learn to master your mindset or your motivation or use the methods to pick up Mandarin marketing music martial arts mathematics there would be no limit You' be a mental superhero anything would be possible because you would be Limitless I guarantee you a lot of you guys a lot of you that are on this live um I assume that you want to learn English or you you want to master the English language but as soon as you think this as soon as somebody tells

34:50 you oh you want to master English something limits you something in your mind tells you oh no there's no way you can do it that's impossible right so that's because of what because of your mindset where is it yeah the reason you think you can't do it is because of your mindset so once you shift your mindset things will also shift people don't believe in uh the spiritual side of life which is really really sad because man everything is not physical you know

35:37 like a lot of people if you don't touch it they don't believe it we are living in such a materialistic world that even about making money and stuff if you're not 100% sure that something makes you money you don't want to pursue it anyway my mission with this book is to Grant you this wish in the pages that follow let's start by saying how much I respect and admire you by investing in this book and now reading it you are far ahead of most of the population who simply accept their present conditions and constraints what is the meaning of constraint by the way thank you guys for joining if you're just joining I'm reading this book Limitless by Jim

36:25 quick please please uh share this video with your friends hit the like button so more people join all that good stuff so by the way I respect you guys and I admire you for being on this live because you want to learn you want to invest in yourself all right some people just accept their present conditions and constraints so constraints means limitations limits like we're talking about your limiting beliefs right so your constraints means your

37:10 boundaries you just think like you are in a bubble right this is a bubble you're inside there's no way to go outside that's the mindset for a lot of people you are a part of a small group of individuals who not only want more for their lives but also are willing to do what it takes to get results in other words you are the hero of this story you've answered the call to Adventure I believe I believe the Ultimate Adventure we are all on is to reveal and realize your fullest potential and Inspire others to

37:56 do the same I have no way of knowing how your life's journey has taken you to this book I'm guessing that at least part of that journey is accepting the confines put upon you confine another good word which basically means constraints limitations by the way one of the best things about reading is one of the best things about reading is you will be learning a lot of new vocabulary a lot of good stuff it's not just reading you're learning knowledge but you're also learning English guys so confines put upon you either by

38:45 others or by yourself you can't read fast enough to keep up with everything you need to know your mind is not agile enough to succeed at work you're not motivated to get things done or you lack the energy to reach your goals and so on the nature of this book is transcending ending the trans the mass hypnosis and lies that we learned from our parents programming Media or marketing that suggests we are

39:32 limited that somehow we're not enough not capable of being of doing of having of creating or contributing this is the most powerful one this is the most important one contributing what is the meaning of contributing who knows what is the meaning of contributing to contribute what does that mean very good assist take part be a part of something participating

40:20 devoting yeah so to contribute basically means to be a part of something to be a part of something give something from you to others I really love that I love that because contributing means being a part of the way I think of it is to be a part of something bigger than yourself the best thing you can do in this life it doesn't matter what kind of goal you have but a part of your goal must always be to contribute to the people around you to give to others to have a sense of

41:08 service believe that you're limited might be holding you back from your biggest dreams as well at least up until now but I promise you that none of your beliefs truly constrain who you are we all have vast potential inside of us untapped levels of strength intelligence and focus and the key to activating these superpowers is unlimiting yourself for more than 25 years I've worked with people of all ages nationalities races socioeconomic statuses and education levels what I've learned what I've discovered is that no

41:55 matter where you you come from no matter what challenges you face you have incredible potential that's just waiting to be tapped to be opened to be discovered you know so it doesn't matter what country you're from yes maybe opportunities are different from one country to another but the mind is Limitless um Unleashed yeah um and we have people from so many different countries on the live session all the time uh as always so it doesn't matter where you're

42:42 from um you can always change your mindset and uh and do more with your life every person every person regardless of age regardless means no matter or um without taking age into consideration regardless regardless of age background education gender or person history can

43:28 advance beyond what they believe they deserve and is possible and that includes you my friend that includes you working together you will come to think of your own limitations as an outmoded concept now in this book I prefer to superheroes and superpowers why is that first I'm a bit of a geek that way because of my childhood brain injury and learning challenges I escaped into comic books and movies to inspire to inspire me during my struggles I realized that my

44:15 favorite ones my favorite ones all shared the same pattern the hero's journey Joseph Joseph Campell Joseph campell's classic plot structure appears in nearly all framed Adventures including the Wizard of Oz Star Wars Harry Potter Eat Pray Love The Hunger Games Rocky the Lord of the Rings Alice and Wonderland The Matrix and more think of your own favorite story or one of the films or books I just mentioned does this sound familiar by the way who has read The Matrix who has read U not read who has

45:03 seen the movie The Matrix do you know the Matrix is a documentary H interesting thank you guys for joining just so you know I'm reading this book Limitless think of your favorite story or one of the films or books I just mentioned does this sound familiar the hero for example har Potter starts out in the Ordinary World the word they've always known the hero then hears hears the Call to Adventure they have a choice to ignore and stay in the Ordinary World where nothing will change or he the call and enter the new world of the unknown the unknown we have to what is the meaning

45:50 of the unknown guys what is the meaning of this word the unknown the unknown who knows the meaning of this word word the unknown what is the meaning of this word not defined yet ambiguous basically it just means not not known you don't know uncertainty something that nobody knows like tomorrow tomorrow is the

46:38 world of the unknown we don't know it doesn't matter who you are you have an idea you have an idea about what's going to happen to tomorrow but you do not know exactly what's going to happen and so but a lot of people are afraid of this feeling but if you accept the feeling of the unknown enter the new world of the unknown your life will change like accepting that you're okay to be in the unknown you work hard but you don't worry so much about the outcome you trust in God you try to do

47:26 your best but you don't care about the outcome because you don't know what's going to happen but the most important thing is putting in the work all right as Neo did with the red pill Neo is in the movie of The Matrix so Neo took the red pill there was there were two pills do you guys know do you guys know uh the red pill and the red pill and ooh you do not know T you guys need to read that

48:11 book uh sorry you guys need to watch that movie The Matrix Neo with a red pill so in the movie we have the red pill and we have the blue pill so the Matrix they meet their guides or mentors such as Mr Miyagi in the karate kid who trains and prepares them to overcome obstacles and realize new levels of fulfillment the hero is introduced to new powers and skills and encouraged to utilize their current abilities like never before they transcend perceived limitations learn new ways of being and eventually phas their trials who knows the meaning of trial this is a good word

48:56 trial phase their trials what does that mean trial means test okay test that's what it means like yeah very good B uh attempts so trials is like you make attempts to test something to figure out something right so trials to face their tests when they return back to the Ordinary World like Dorothy going back to Kansas they take with them the ultimate Boon the treasure emotions strength Clarity and wisdom

49:43 they discovered from their Adventure they then share their lessons and gifts with others the hero's journey is the perfect structure to lend power and purpose to your personal story in Limitless you are the superhero one of my core beliefs one of my core beliefs is that human potential is one of the only infinite resources we have in the world most everything else is finite finite what does that mean finite

50:35 yera the Luna the movie Matrix is about this life isn't real in and it's a video game yeah exactly limited limited limited so finite yeah is limited and it's numbered like you know Infinity the word infinity that's like Limitless um you cannot count finite is limited so very good word like finite numbers means a limited numbers you can count uh infinite is the opposite so the

51:21 only thing that's Limitless is your brain your mind everything else is numbered but the human mind is the ultimate superpower there's no limit to our creativity imagination determination or ability to think reason or learn my favorite word reason what's the difference between think and reason these two are two verbs these two are two verbs think reason to think to reason what's the difference who can tell me what's the

52:09 difference between think and reason I'm just going to say your middle name bow think is more like your bias opinion very good think is more like what you think like your personal opinion may not be true reason is based on facts very good very good so when you reason you logically think about something reasoning is deeper reasoning gives you more uh ideas more logical ideas things

52:57 that make sense when you think you just think I think this is nice but reasoning is like you think about all the different parts of something so so reasoning is very very important it's a very important skill to build yet this resource is also among at uh what is it is among the least tapped all of us can be the heroes of Our Own Story digging into The Well of our personal potential who knows the meaning of well The Well of our personal or our

53:43 potential every single day the well this is a good word Guadalupe good well in this case the well means the like a hole in the ground that has water that has natural water that's called a well so The Well of our personal or our potential so digging going down into The Well of our personal potential so digging deep digging deep into your own potential very good

54:30 Salah it's a big hole that contains water exactly that is what it means well Reservoir yep so sourced so that is a well uh where are we well of our personal every single day and never having that well run dry so that means you continue digging you continue trying to discover your potential and you never stop but so few of us approach our lives this way that's why I wrote this book to

55:16 help you realize that no matter where you are or where you've been you absolutely can free yourself and go from limits to Liberation that might be the only extra you need to transition from The Ordinary World to the extraordinary world this book is going to provide you with that that extra what you'll get Within These pages is a series of tools that will get you cast off your perceived restrictions you're going to learn how to unlimit your brain you're going to learn how to to unlimit your drive you're going to learn how to limit unlimit your memory your focus and your habits if I'm your

56:04 Mentor in your hero's journey then this book is your map to master your mind motivation and methods to learn how to learn and once you've done that you will be Limitless here's the door here's the door you know what's waiting on the other side do you guys want to walk through it who wants to walk through the door by the way everybody say alhamdulillah if an egg is broken by an

56:51 outside force life ends if broken by an inside Force Life Begins great things always begin from the inside this is very very true this is absolutely true that's why I tell you guys people only believe in physical things people only believe in physical things like if you can't see it with your eyes you don't believe it but when you dig deep inside yourself that's where everything begins

57:38 really everything starts from an idea everything starts from an idea and what is an idea it's inside you right so I'm going to read this one more time if an egg is broken by an outside Force life ends if broken by an inside Force Life Begins great things always begin from the inside you know the only the only thing that um the only thing that that a lot of people the reason a lot of people avoid success or avoid digging deep inside

58:24 their potential is because they want immediate change you want your life to just change overnight but that's not how it works you need hard work consistency and working taking small steps to get where you want to go what do you believe in are you asking me what do you mean all right free your mind free your

59:13 mind we do not need magic to transform our world we carry all of the Power we need inside ourselves already so what I believe in is I believe in Allah and I also believe that everyone is going to die and uh this life is the opportunity to continue growing so we do not need magic to transform our

59:59 world we carry all of the Power we need inside ourselves already I used to go boxing in order to free my mind wow I love that I really love that free your mind from negative thoughts if an egg is broken by the outside it feeds you if broken by the inside you have to feed it wow that's deep I love

1:00:47 that mashallah an Muslim yes by the way who those who don't know the word Muslim the word Muslim means somebody who surrenders so I Surrender my will to Allah so it's the best feeling because you give your self you surrender to the unknown you surrender to what God has given you or is going to give you so so yeah that's the meaning of Muslim all right becoming

1:01:34 Limitless becoming Limitless yeah by the way if you're a Muslim drop a drop a a moon or something drop a heart becoming Limitless I'm so stupid I don't understand I'm too dumb to learn these were my Maness growing up there wasn't a day that went by that I didn't tell myself that I was slow Dumb and that I would never learn to read much less amount to anything later in life if a pill existed that could supercharge my brain and make me smarter in one

1:02:19 swallow as there was in 2011 movie Limitless starring Bradley Cooper I would have given anything to take it I wasn't the only one who felt the way I did about myself if you'd asked my teachers when I was a kid money would have said that I was the last person they would expect to be writing this book for you back then they would have been surprised to know that I was reading a book let alone writing one this all stems from an incident in kindergarten that completely altered the course of my life I was in class one day

1:03:04 and there were Sirens outside the window everyone in this classroom took notice and the teacher looked out and said she saw fire trucks the entire class responded to this information the way kindergarteners do we immediately rushed to the windows I was particularly excited because by that point I was already obsessed with superheroes I still am to me the firefighters were the closest thing to real life superheroes I knew I bolted to the window with everyone else the only problem was that I wasn't tall enough to be able to look down at the fire trucks one kid went to grab his

1:06:10 time after that I'm not sure I ever would have learned to read if it weren't for the heroes I met and saw in comic books regular books couldn't hold my attention at all but my fascination with Comics drove Pro me to keep pushing myself until I could read their stories without waiting for someone else to read them to me I would read them by flashlight under my covers late at night those stories gave me hope that one person could could overcome impossible odds all right questions guys questions questions questions
