Step 2: Responsibility
Step 3: Sacrifice

The fact that this video is only 2min is great for those who actually need to watch it :)

If it wasn't for this a man I would either be dead or in prison. Drugs, money and gang warfare was getting the better of me. Eternally grateful.

I was employed for 34 years as a hospital-based social worker working with patients, their families, doctors, nurses... it was a deliriously busy multi-tasking position; at one point I had a 53 patient caseload. Thus I "rewarded" myself for the stress with both junk food after work and alcohol on the weekends. I suspect this "rewards system" is more common among those employed in stressful jobs than we acknowledge. So what helped? Retirement! Gave me the chance to get my health and body in shape and am healthier now than when I was employed. Also was able to heal myself from C-PTSD with the help of a YT channel called The Crappy Childhood Fairy, which I can honestly say changed my life. Lost 24 pounds, got my blood pressure lowered, got in shape, forgave my parents for neglect and abuse, and wrote/published 3 books. The 9-5 grind can be a killer

Love that guy's contribution at the end, wise words.

Hangovers and shitty REM sleep is a more than enough reason for me to cut down on the drinking. Nothing I value more than cognitive performance!

The irony that I am watching this during a wave of procrastination.

The id, ego, superego were explained really well, i understand way better now thank you 🙏

Actually im kind of overcoming Instant Gratification myself, quit smoking. No coffee. 2 Weeks now.

Feeling veeery meh. Sleepy all the time, very irritable. Absolutely pointless quitting, I am feeling no benifits, but Ill see how it goes after 1 month.

It is also super expensive.
When a cheeseburger costs $2 and a salad costs $6 the problem is obvious.

People just don't listen, because it reminds them of a parent imposing rules. Every human being needs insight to make a change. It's not always about the purpose.

[StellaJ.Padnos]

I am a huge JP fan, & if I may, the phrase/notion to "take responsibility for other people" is a slippery slope for me. I appreciate that it's a basis of family & community, and, oh boy, a grown-up will certainly do as they will at the end of the day, and it's on them.

[deliadonoso]

There's that connection, I barely touched finding the reason with a Nutrition Health Coach ... it was a while ago, this video is making me want to go again

[terrybyrd]

I don't need to watch this to suggest an answer .. just plant a garden. You'll learn all you need to know about patience.

To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats.

[encendercolores]

It'd be great if we got the whole video.

[vcollapse]

Despite fighting against it all my life, I still procrastinate at times. Perhaps it is just part of the human condition. Or I have undiagnosed ADHD. One of the two..

What interview is this taken from? Nice to have the source if you’re going to take and repost from someone else. I do appreciate seeing this, though.
