The worst self improvement mistake

[lyndsiecollis]

"We must all suffer from one of two pains: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret"
The one quote that has actually stuck with me :)

“Forget the mistake, but remember the lesson.”

"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then,  is not an act, but a habit." -Aristotle

One quote that has stuck in my mind was "discipline is choosing what you want most over what you want now". Once I heard it, I kept repeating it and it helps.

“You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.”
–C. S. Lewis

Do what scares you the most. You will find it was never so scary after all.

What I love about this channel is that joey doesn’t want himself to come off like he lives this perfect life in a perfect mindset and say we can too. He’s like the people who watch this channel and that’s how he can relate to us and actually give us achievable videos and goals.

This is so true. I've had this realization after 2 years of reading self-help books and watching productivity videos. I've always treated each book or video as a band-aid to the lack of motivation I had. I had the thought that one book or one video is going to change the trajectory of my life forever. But I realized that it's not the one book or the one video that changes a person, it's the consistency of showing up; it's the stacking amount of experiences that gradually improves our lives.

I love how he reassures us that he’s not perfect, that he’s also gone through the low points we are going through. Gives me lots of hope :))

I am in it right now. It's now been 10 weeks since my mother died. I need to pull it tf together. I did the lake jump (not an actual lake, I hoped on a plane...took an impromptu trip after mother's day... jumped in the car and drove 8 hours to Idaho for memorial day weekend)... even random daily stuff: painted a mural, learner how to make sushi 🍣 ...now I'm addicted to making my own sushi.. but my motivation is truly SO gone, that it feels like an uphill and rather pointless unrewarding battle... BUT if I'm going to feel this flat lined either way... I guess I might as well actually work on my studies. I may have just solved my own problem ..

I feel this, especially right now when I'm becoming a bit overwhelmed with a few things. One of the best things I could ask for is a great support system to get me through.

What a great video. For me, self-improvement in a nutshell is:

action > thinking

[GHLKM]

"By doing something that I hadn't done before, I started thinking things I hadn't thought before".

Holy shit. This quote just single-handedly launched me out of my rut of inaction. Thanks!!

This reminds me of a David Goggins quote, which goes something like this: "You don't find inspiration by doing nothing, you need to live in the grip of life to find inspiration. Put challenges ahead of yourself, when you put challenges ahead of yourself and attack it, that's when you find inspiration." Words to live by, in my opinion.

I had a similar spark from the quote of Albert Einstein's "the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting different results". I was such in a rut and decided to push myself outside my comfort zone and it worked wonders to fix my situation.

[sourabhsoni]

"Action is a far more reliable source of inspiration than inspiration itself." Thanks for these down to earth gold nuggets. 🙏

I think it’s important to address the “pseudo depressive state” comment. If you find yourself in this kind of rut often, and/or really struggle to get yourself out, it might be a good idea to talk to a professional. If you are constantly in this loop of motivation and self-loathing/pity, why keep doing the same thing? There is no shame in getting help when you need it.

"Seek Discomfort" is THE quote for me idk why, but it works.

Reminds me of Yoda: "Do. Or do not. There is no try."
