Getting your s**t together... What you're NOT being told!

[SL]

The good thing about nobody caring about you and your self-improvement, is that you don't have to care about anybody else and their self-improvement :3

Hey dude I just wanted to tell you that you were pivotal in helping me quit weed. Your vid eloquently phrased almost everything I was experiencing. I appreciate you man, thank you 👊

This talk is incredibly based, solid 9/10. Here’s why:

1. Honesty and Realism: The speaker doesn’t sugarcoat the truth about self-improvement. It’s tough, especially for those with significant challenges like addiction or a criminal past.
2. Individual Responsibility: Emphasizes that nobody cares about your self-improvement as much as you do. Personal accountability is key.
3. Avoiding Comparisons: Stresses the importance of not comparing yourself to others, which is crucial for mental resilience and focusing on personal growth.
4. Small Steps Towards Big Goals: Highlights breaking down big goals into manageable steps, a practical approach to achieving long-term objectives.
5. Persistence and Consistency: Self-improvement is a lifelong journey requiring continuous effort, not a one-time fix.
6. Addressing Demons and Old Habits: Acknowledges that old habits and negative influences will always be a challenge, showing a deep understanding of personal development struggles.
7. Self-Motivation: Talks about the importance of being self-motivated and finding personal reasons to stay on track, rather than relying on external validation.
8. Realistic Expectations: Makes it clear that self-improvement won’t happen overnight and requires long-term commitment, preparing individuals for the effort needed.
9. Encouragement and Hope: Despite the tough love, offers hope by sharing personal experiences and progress, motivating others to keep going.

This talk is a masterclass in authentic, no-nonsense, sustainable self-improvement. 💪

This is the first time I hear anything from you. I don't know you you have never come up on my feet I do not follow you I've never heard of you and this is one of the realest conversations about doing a life pivot that I have heard in many many years. I'm looking forward to more. And yes I just subscribed. This is powerful.

Self help doesn't talk about taking care of your dying parents and grandparents because it's too hyper specific n hard to speak to each person's situation, but moreso because that reality has nothing to do with chasing our dreams. This is the insignia that self-help has been industrialized to sell you on an idea, not the truth or reality we all face.

It’s so nice having someone so relatable to give life advice. I’ll continue working towards my goals and staying on the straight and narrow

I hit rock bottom a few years ago. I was married for about two years but my ex-wife (and her rich dad) dragged me through all sorts of cases in court for 5 years. Hookers and booze got me through it. Now, however, I’m single and happier than ever. I even retired early at 45. I hope this little story inspires other guys out there that it’s quite possible for things to turn around significantly given time.

What a great and accurate description of the process of self improvement, I appreciate your insight and straightforward explanation ❤

What he said in the last minute of this video is what the pursuit is all about. It’s the inner knowing that you are on the right track, with the right motives etc. because it’s creating a deep inner positive energy and confidence that even other people can subconsciously pick up - though many don’t even realize it, and they respect it.

I like to hear you talk about these things, with simplicity and honesty. It's like listening to my older brother, if he hadn't lost himself in alcohol and drugs.

Truth is a hard pill to swallow!

Extra important to surround oneself with people who are a good influence — that for me has been the most challenging part of any change I’ve ever attempted so far.
Also— what actually gives me a sense of fulfillment and purpose in life (aka “success”) might seem bizarre and unimportant to “others” whether they have their “s..t together “ or not.
People prefer being able to categorize something as good or bad, favorable or undesirable…
Even just stepping out of the norm will always inevitably provoke fear or jealousy in others and push their insecurities to the surface — unless they themselves have made such progress in the past and can relate to it …
We are social beings and we need each other, but sometimes you just have to be the black sheep and not fall off the cliff with the heard … in the end, that’s just what Leadership looks like …

Recent studies have shown the importance of getting proper nutrition and how it can even easily affect one's personality. Easily overlooked and a very common problem is simply having a vitamin D3 deficiency. For anyone having addiction issues take a look at your diet. It may help more than you know.

Man you really dropping gems, love your vids like this, been helping me pick up my life again at 29.

Dorian is one of the realist dudes on the internet 💯. I'm starting @48yo at a 1st time career in programming. I've screwed up a lot. I've definitely reached the point that I cannot get a job in something I enjoy doing. I have no other choice to start this or be miserable the remainder of my life. Getting ready for my BS job now. Not my career. Just a job. I am totally expendable and it's made clear at my job. They got me!! I must get out of this..

[gizmodagimp]

Another reminder on keeping up the good habits!🧚‍♂

[themaninc]

Not sure when and/ or how long this channel has been going but I’ve just discovered your channel (Saturday July 27th 2024)

This is a very timely and poignant vid

Many thanks for posting this, Dorian! 🙏🏿

[inquisitivelycurious]

Smart straight talk. Just landed on your channel right on, subbed.

[Creatio.Ex-Nihilo]

I want to extend my gratitude but saying thank you for your extension. Your words are felt and reaches to those who striving for a difference.... including myself. It is not only motivation but a reminder that though we are separate individuals but many of us as a whole - are carrying the same objective for better. Positivity is the encouraging tool that helps us to keep sight at the end of the goal. Thank you brother.

I’ve been seeking out my goals for decades. Family responsibilities, having children makes it dmn near impossible to achieve your goals unless you have a strong family foundation, strong wife, and wealth that can be tapped into. Don’t have kids if you have goals and are the only one’s that they rely on. It feels horrible too not be able to care for them the way you want to care for them. Otherwise, just wait, get you poop in a group and build a foundation first.
