If You’re Ambitious But Lazy, Please Watch This Video

Brief Summary

This video addresses the common struggle of having big dreams and ambitions but being held back by laziness and procrastination. It provides a three-step solution to overcome this issue: recognizing the value and limited nature of time, prioritizing sustainability over perfection by taking small, consistent actions, and shifting one's identity to align with their dream version. The video encourages viewers to stop taking time for granted, start with small, manageable steps towards their goals, and visualize and act like the person who has already achieved what they desire.

  • Time is limited and should be valued.
  • Sustainability beats perfection.
  • Shift your identity to align with your dream version.

Introduction: The Problem of Laziness and Untapped Ambition

Many individuals have significant ambitions and dreams, such as financial success, a desired physique, an ideal partner, and a dream home, but they often struggle with laziness and procrastination. This issue is widespread, and failing to address it can lead to personal injustice. The speaker emphasizes that ambition is already present in those watching the video, as they aspire to achieve something significant. Overcoming laziness is crucial to fulfilling one's potential and benefiting oneself, family, and loved ones. The solution involves understanding and acting on three key principles.

Time Is Limited: Understanding the Value of Every Second

The first principle is recognizing the limited nature of time. The speaker shares a story about an ambitious friend who passed away in his mid-20s due to neglecting his health, highlighting that everyone has a finite amount of time. It's crucial to avoid complacency and understand that life can bring unexpected challenges. Using the example of an average Indian lifespan of 70 years, the speaker provides a mathematical calculation to illustrate how quickly time passes. For instance, a 20-year-old has approximately 1.5 billion seconds left, emphasizing that each passing second brings one closer to the end. Even wealthy individuals would trade their fortunes for more time, underscoring its immense value. Therefore, it's essential to appreciate and utilize time wisely.

Sustainability Over Perfection: The Power of Small Actions

The second principle emphasizes that sustainability triumphs over perfection. Procrastination often stems from the desire to take perfect actions, which can be paralyzing. The speaker shares a personal anecdote about struggling with weight loss, initially attempting drastic measures and failing repeatedly. The turning point came when he started taking imperfect actions, such as walking and using the local gym instead of aiming for the best gym. By reducing friction and focusing on consistency, he achieved lasting results. The key is to start small and take the nearest possible action, even if it's just spending a few minutes on a task. Using the analogy of creating a large snowball, the speaker illustrates that starting with a small snowball and letting it gather snow as it rolls downhill is more effective than trying to gather a large amount of snow at once. Consistency is built gradually, and small actions accumulate over time.

Shifting Your Identity: Aligning with Your Dream Version

The third principle involves shifting one's identity to align with their dream version. Drawing from the concept of "life lines" in the book "Reality Trans Surfing," the speaker explains that infinite versions of each person exist, each living different lives. The dream version of oneself already exists, and by acting like that version, one can shift their reality to match that dream. This involves visualizing the dream life and identifying the daily actions that the dream version would take. For example, if the dream version has a great physique, they would eat healthy, exercise, and sleep well. By making a list of these actions and consistently taking the closest possible action each day, one can align themselves with their desired reality. This approach involves setting a compass towards the desired destination and taking actions that resonate with the dream version.

Conclusion: Beating Laziness and Achieving Ambition

By understanding the limited nature of time, prioritizing sustainable actions over perfection, and shifting one's identity to align with their dream version, individuals can overcome laziness and achieve their ambitions. The speaker encourages viewers to value their time, take imperfect but consistent actions, and act like the person who has already achieved their goals. The video concludes with a call to action, inviting viewers to share their thoughts, goals, and sustainable actions in the comments and find accountability partners to support their journey.

0:00 You have many dreams, many goals. You know how much money you want to make. You have to make a lot of money. You have a dream physique. Have a dream partner. There is a dream house. Right? You need a lot. You are very ambitious. You do n't want to live this regular life. You see yourself living a very different life. But then your laziness gets in the way. It comes to your mind that friend, I am not able to understand that I want so many things. My goals are very big. I also have problems in my life. I have to do a lot for my family. I have a lot to do for myself. But why do I still not work? Why do I Procrastinate ? Why does this happen to me? Let me tell you one thing. This problem happens with many people. You are not alone. But if you do not solve this problem then you are doing injustice to yourself.

0:47 People don't have ambition. If you are watching this video, then friend, you already have ambition. You think big, you want to do something different in life , you want to do something big , this is not there in many people. So if you don't fix this thing, you are doing injustice to yourself and your family and the people you love. Now the question here is how to solve this? To solve this you have to understand three things. And we have to act on these three things. And if you do this thing then you know you will punch this problem and knock it down forever. Right? First of all, let's talk about the first thing. You think you have time. You think you have time. Let me tell you a story. I used to have a friend. There used to be Manping. Meaning he is not alive now. Ambitious, very ambitious but he was not doing the things that he

1:35 should have done to achieve what he wanted in life. Was not taking care of his health. Wasn't it? Didn't it used to get a lot of sleep? He was not doing anything for his mental health. And in he mid 20's he left planet Earth. Now I am not telling you this to scare you but I am telling you this so that you understand that everyone has limited time. If you feel that you have a lot of time, you will have to stop thinking about this. And let's leave this story. I am sure you must have heard somewhere around you in your family, relatives, social media , school, college that you do not understand what the unexpected life shows you. So if you are thinking that everything is going cool, there is no pressure, there is no problem, then stop thinking like that. Because you never know when life comes unexpectedly and knocks at your door

2:21 and you think, hey what happened friend? Right? So get up. In fact, let me talk to you about some mathematics. An average Indian lives till the age of 70 years. The average may also be lower. It is rarely useful. But let's say that in some cases it can be more. Let's calculate how much life we ​​each have, assuming we will live for 70 years. How much time do we have left? What do you need to do to do this? Whatever your age is, just subtract it from 70. Ok? Then multiply it by 365 days. Then multiply it by 24 hours * 60 minutes * 60 seconds. Let me give you an example. If you are 20 years old, you just have 1 billion, 576 million and 800,000 seconds. Just how many seconds do you have left ? And as time goes by, these seconds are like a timer running, brother.

3:08 With every second we are approaching the end. Suppose you are 30 years old then you have 1 billion, 261 million, 44,000 seconds. If you are 40 years old then you have 946 million and 80,000 seconds left. Assuming that we live till the age of 70. Assuming that. Ok? But there is no guarantee of this either. So the first thing is to utilize your time well. Understand its importance. Live every second that is passing by to the fullest. Because don't take time for granted. You know, today you can go to any successful billionaire who has everything. Who are currently in their 60s, 70s and 80s. That person needs time. But he knows that he has very little time left,

3:54 in comparison to younger people, obviously that person would be ready to give all his wealth for time. That time is with us today, that time is with you today, you have it, utilize it well, this is the most valuable asset you have. Don't waste it, don't [ __ ] waste it. Number one, number two, you have to understand one thing that perfection will never make you win, sustainability will make you win, sustainability always wins over perfection. What do I mean by this? I know you are not taking action because you are lazy. You are not taking action because you are trying to be perfect. Let me give you an example. Let me give you my example, friend. Please open any of my old videos sometime and see it. Go to my YouTube. Watching my oldest videos. Let me also

4:40 show you some clippings here. I used to be overweight. Right? I've been overweight most of my adult life. And I kept doing something or the other. For example, let's say you went to a dietician, got a diet plan made, went to the gym, hired a personal trainer. Right? I immediately started running. And what I was doing wrong was trying to do all things at once. Because I had to do something, I will do it perfectly. And again and again I failed. If you lose a little weight, it gets gained again. It became a little consistent, then the consistency broke again. And you know when actually the problem was solved? Actually the problem got solved when I started taking imperfect actions. By imperfect action I mean when I started doing the smallest things, like short edges, like let's leave everything and start walking, or for example, leave everything and start

5:26 going to the gym, earlier I used to think that I would go to that gym which is the best gym in my area, I would have to go there by car, would have to walk, all of that right, I said no, no, I have done this, I will not drive, I will go to the gym in my society, my society 's gym is not the best gym in the area, but it's okay, it is not the fanciest, there's not much equipment there but it is good to start. I just have to go, press the lift button, and go up four floors. I reached the gym in my society, will workout and come back. So I reduced the friction a lot by the nearest possible action. I did that. I was consistent with that. After that I hired a fitness trainer. Then I got the diet prepared from him and did not follow the diet at all. What did I do first, friend? I start eating clean, home-made food. I will not do much. Used to order food from outside. I will still order a lot from outside but I will order it clean. So I kept taking small baby steps. And

6:13 now I think it's been one and a half year since I started doing it. And right now I'm in the best shape I've ever been. Where I have always been overweight. I used to feel underconfident because of my body. Today I feel very confident. I feel very energetic. I like it very much. Right? And this happened because I stopped chasing perfection. I was looking for sustainability. You have to do the same thing. Don't think about taking perfect action to achieve whatever you want in any area of ​​life. Ask yourself what can I do today. Even if I spend 2 minutes on this thing. You always think, friend, I want to read this book. I should read this book. You know, by reading these books you will be able to do something better or I want to start a business. But you think that I need lakhs of rupees to start a business. No, ask yourself what can I do today to make this happen ? What can I do that will

6:59 take me closer to my destination. Today now, not tomorrow now. You will have to start thinking about this thing. Allright. You know if you want to visualize this. Suppose you want to make a huge snow ball. Ok? You have to make a big ball of snow. Very big. Now, if you go and collect all the snow and stack it all, it will take you a lot of time. You ca n't do it. You will need people, you will need tractors. Is there anything I don't need? Cannot be done. This is always impossible. Suppose you want to make a 10-20 feet snowball. How can this happen? But this can be done in a very easy way. Go to a hill that's covered with snow. Go there, take snow in your hands, make a ball, make a small

7:46 snow ball and release it. I am sure you must have seen in movies and cartoons that when a small snow ball slowly falls down, it keeps collecting more snow and then by the time it reaches the bottom, it becomes a very big snow ball. What does it mean? START SMALL. Start with something that you can start right now instead of thinking that no no no, in order to create this, I need all these things first to achieve this, I will do it then. Hey brother, why do you look like a king from somewhere? Are you not a king from somewhere? Are you understanding? But if you really want to become a king, become the king of your life. And brother, at least win the smallest battle. Big battles can be won in the future but if you play a big battle right away, meaning if you try to win, you will lose. You will die, don't do it. START SMALL. Allright. So you have to always remember this thing. And if I give you another practical

8:33 example of this. I am telling you a very practical thing. You are watching this video on YouTube. Go and scroll my channel. You will understand that for the first few years I was very inconsistent on my channel. Anything is getting added. Sometimes one video is going on in a month , sometimes one video in two months. But for the last few times, in the last one and a half years, I have been super consistent. Right? Right? I think almost two years have passed. In fact, in the last one year , from 6 months to one year, we have become more consistent. That's one video to be known every week. Gradually that habit built, consistency built and I think we are growing really well. And I'm really happy with the growth you've had on YouTube. And if I had not done that, you would not be watching this video today. Take Small Actions. Started making a video for the first month. Then it came to two, then it came to three, then it came to four, then it came to five. But whenever I tried, I said, I will make four to five videos in a month, brother. It doesn't happen. Take it slow. So

9:18 ask yourself, can I do five- six videos today? No, I can do one video today. Yes, let me make a video. First ask yourself, what can I do today in the least possible time and do it gradually, only then will you be able to level up, brother. This becomes the second thing, now let's come to the third thing, you will have to shift your identity, you have an identity, now ask yourself, if you had to describe yourself to someone today, how would you do it? However you describe yourself, that I am this. This is the name of this human being. It has an edge. Lives here. Its habits are like this. Here's how it does it. It doesn't do such things. He should do things like this. You could have given some description. I am telling you, it is in your hands. You, your identity, the way you define yourself,

10:03 you can change it right now. How to do it? I'm gonna share a simple exercise with you. I recently read a book called Reality Trans Surfing. It is written by a Russian physicist and this book talks about a concept called life lines. You must have also seen in Marvel movies that there is talk of timelines there. There is talk about timelines or alternate realities, parallel universes, etc. It is a similar concept. Infinite versions of every human being, of all of us, already exist. Exactly like you. But everyone's lives are very different. The dream version of you, the one that you want to become, that dream version of yours is already existing somewhere. If you start acting like that dream version of yourself and start taking the same actions

10:50 daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, your reality can become like that dream version. And this is very practical. There is no rocket science. I am not talking about any magic. I sit and meditate on the Law of Attraction. I am not talking about that. It is very practical. What do you have to do? First of all you have to tell yourself, friend, what is your dream version? If you close your eyes and suppose God appears before you today. God comes in front of you. Genia appears before you and tells you that whatever you visualise for your life in the next two to three minutes after closing your eyes will be yours. So what will that be? Close your eyes. Ok? Think about those things. And then write all that stuff down. Which car do you want? Whatever is important to you. I am giving an example. You may not want a car. Whatever it is, which card you want, what kind of house you want, where you

11:35 want to live, how you want to look, what kind of life partner you want, what kind of business you want, whether you want to build a brand or not, where you want to travel, whatever it is for you, write it down, whatever is your dream version, what is your purpose, purpose means you should know what you want from life, if you do not know that then how will you reach there my brother, unless you put the destination on Google Maps, how will Google Maps show you the way, in the same way, until you do not set the destination of your life, then how will life show you the way, how will the universe show you the way or how will you actually make that path because you will have to do all the work by moving around. So first of all it becomes necessary to point that compass to us. So write that thing down and then ask yourself a question, this dream life of mine, let's assume that a version of me is already living this life

12:21 somewhere. What would that version be doing today Daily? I will give you a very simple example. Let's say your dream version of yourself has a six pack. Her body is great. What was he doing today? He does not eat junk food. I would be drinking lots of water , gymming, running , eating high lean protein , sleeping on time, I may also be meditating. You will come to know that this person does this work daily. Think about whatever dreams you have written, the person who has all this, the person who has got all this today or the person who has all this, what would he be doing in life, make a list of those things every day. And every single day you have to either start doing those things yourself or start taking whatever closest possible action you can. I will give an example. Let's start with building a business.

13:07 How do I tell you one from the other? You want to build an e-commerce business and your dream version is a guy who is running a Rs 100 crore e-commerce business. What will he be doing today? He must be researching new products today. Must be launching new products. He must be hiring teams. He must be running AIDS. Whatever you have understood till now, do some research on that, go to GPT, write it down and see which of these things can I start doing today. And by the way, as far as we are talking about business, if you want my personal recommendation that what according to me is the best business to start this year, I have made another video related to this. Here is the video or you can go and watch it directly. Either the link to this or what am I doing. I have added it in the description below. Go and check it out. Ok? The rest come back. So you have to start doing this thing. Set yourself a compass. Brother, where do I have to go

13:53 ? What would that version be doing daily ? And every single day takes the closest to perfect. Take the closest possible action that you can take that will align with your dream version. If you do these three things , you will [ __ ] beat laziness. You will beat the [ __ ] out of the laziness that you have. And your ambition will win. You will do justice to yourself, and the people who look up to you. People who have expectations from you. People you love: your family, relatives, friends, whatever it is, people who are important to you and most of all yourself. You will do justice to yourself. what to? First of all you have to understand that time is not limited. We've got limited seconds. Limited. You may feel like there are billions of seconds. I will not understand how it will go. Suppose today you are 20

14:40 years old, 25 years old. Have you found out how 20-2 years will work? I got to know that you are going to be more busy in your future life. When responsibilities increase and you become busy. And the current time will not be the same in the future. Get it in writing. I'm 31 right now. I am married, I have a child, I have business, I have a family, I have everything. I can tell you life will get more difficult. Responsibilities will increase. So value the time now. By which time you might be 40 years old. Doesn't matter. As we grow older things will get more difficult. So be prepared. So utilize your time so that you can manage further. Number two, you have to take action that you can sustain. Imperfect action. Ok? Do n't run after perfection. And number three, shift your identity. Start acting like your

15:25 dream version that already exists somewhere. And when you become that dream version, set that frequency, take that action, your outer reality will also start changing, very logical. Alright that's it for this video. Comment and tell me how you liked this video. What did you learn from this? What are you going to do? Like what is it that you want to do? What's on your mind? And what sustainable action are you going to take for that? Tell me by commenting. If you want to take action to create these habits, you need an accountability partner. You need someone you can work with. He should share his with you. You can share yours with him and update each other daily. Comment below and find an accountability partner in the comments. Enter your number and email. Whatever through which you people can connect with each other. Put your introduction so that the right person comes to you and asks

16:11 what I want. These are my goals , these are my visions. Put it down and say that if you also have similar goals then come let's just build a life together and be accountable to each other. Keep accountability, speak up. Share daily updates as sometimes it becomes difficult to do it alone. do that. Allright.
