Brief Summary
This video discusses the benefits of "disappearing" and working in the shadows to transform oneself. The key points covered include:
- Shutting your mouth and becoming a mystery to everyone except your life partner
- Only caring about what you think, not what others think
- Hiding your plans and progress from others to maintain focus and momentum
- Embracing the pain and challenges of the transformation process
- Picking specific targets for your transformation and revolving your life around crushing those goals
- Reprogramming your mind to find happiness and fulfillment in the process, rather than the end result
Disappear
The video starts by explaining that the more you open up your life for display, the more people will find ways to drag you down. There is power in disappearing and working in the shadows, becoming unavailable and committing to the next version of yourself in secret. This can be exhilarating, as you know that when you reappear, your transformation will shock the world. The speaker emphasizes that the only opinion that matters is your own.
Shut It
The first step in disappearing is to shut your mouth. You need to get your natural habit of spilling information under control. You will no longer speak openly about your life to anyone except your life partner, if they want you to succeed. This is a difficult task that requires practice and repetition.
Only Care
The second step is to only care about what you think. You need to reprogram your mind to not care what others think, as they don't actually care about you. You have to create a person in your mind who is you, and only care about what that person thinks.
Hide Plans
The third step is to hide your plans. You'll develop ambitious plans during this journey, but you must keep them close to your chest like they are the passwords to your treasure. Sharing your plans with others will reduce your chances of accomplishing them.
Hide Progress
The fourth step is to hide your progress. As you make progress, you'll feel the natural urge to share it, but you must resist. Don't show off your improved physique, wealth, or skills. Focus on progressing even more, as going back to your old ways mid-transformation will reverse your progress.
Hide Pain
The fifth step is to hide your tears, blood, and failures. Crushing it in the shadows will be tough, and you'll face physical and mental challenges. You must shut the metaphorical pie hole and deal with these challenges alone, allowing the pain to build your strength and character.
Pick Targets
The first step in transforming is to pick your targets. Be specific about what you want to accomplish, whether it's getting jacked or building a money-printing business. Write it down and keep it to yourself.
Crush It
The second step is to revolve your life around crushing your goals. Every waking hour should be planned to drive towards your objectives. Be obsessed and dedicate your every breath to it, making everything you do intentional and focused on your transformation.
Reprogram
The final step is to reprogram your mind. You need to find happiness and fulfillment in the process of crushing it in the shadows. This will require a shift in your thinking and a reprogramming of your mind, which will become a part of your positive transformation.
Reappear?
After accomplishing your transformation, you may not even need to reappear, as you will have become one with the shadow. Your life will have transformed beyond your expectations, and you will continue to push towards bigger and better goals, remaining a mystery to most. You will find a calming peace in the shadows and a new life that you enjoy far greater than what you had before.
