I identified my best days always have 3 things. 1. a meaningful conversation with someone in my inner circle 2. create something I find beautiful 3. learn something I didn't know before.

One of the biggest frustrations in life is when you know all of this, and have thought through it dozens of times, in depth, over years, but still fail to consistently act. Always trying to break through those barriers.

I’m an African girl. Finding your Chanel has been a blessing to me because you articulate some of the thoughts I’ve had in my mind. Goes to show how similar we all really are. Love your content, you are Awesome! Thanks for sharing

[EvandJohnson]

I wrote down lots of quotes but the biggest takeaway for me is that people will default to what others are doing around them for the simple reason that they don't know what else is possible. To break free from this, you need to come up with (or be shown) an alternative way of life which is more in line with your own personal aspirations and values.

If you're in this comment section, chances are you don't need help with that part. The next step is to systematize and set process goals for how you will realize that unique vision for your future.

Great video Dan, thanks for the perspective.

Seriously I know I have said this before but as a 21-year-old who spent years in hospitals and now almost 4 years of recovery I wasn't to thank you, Dan. Watching your videos gives me so much perspective and fuel to get myself going legitimately independent. I'd love to find a time to communicate with you.

[salvitoripopadillo]

There is so much we need to let go of. So much that takes away from our natural way of being. Our kids grow up barely knowing us parents. We all need to stop denying what our hearts tell us. Let's change society. Let's gather together and bring down the spoiled rotten so-called leaders! Hegelian Dialectic is the spell put on us.

27:35 Really stood out to me because I love learning and watching educational content but I have such a disconnect when it comes to action. I haven't really been able to figure out why, but hearing this part about how focusing on the outcome (gaining the 50 followers a day) can cause mental chaos, hit close to home.

This new perspective of seeing the daily win as "Did I put out the content and do the "boring fundamentals" "?
is amazing because it removes the friction of the parts you cannot control(getting the likes, shares, followers, replies, etc.)

Loved the video Dan, can't wait to see more!

[juliarosep]

"If it isn't conducive to achieving your purpose, then it isn't important." Made a note of that straight away. Captures so succinctly what I need to focus on, and it is something I will keep repeating to myself and coming back to when I start to drift away from my purpose. Brilliant video, thank you.

[christophdenner]

Thank you for this, this confirmed that my absolute number 1 goal, or the north star in my life right now, is to become financially independent. I've been following this path already for years, and I've gotten a bit tired of it lately as it takes such a long time to get there, but I really wanna escape my corporate career desperately. I think I've become dedicated to financial independence with an almost religious ambition, comparable to the dedication it takes to become a monk or a nun. The price for this is to let other areas and aspects of life fall short (fun, enjoyment, relationships). But I just wanna escape this bloody rat race so desperately after more than 20 years running in it high speed.

[tayzonday]

I can’t escape modern enslavement. As Siddharth Kara points out, Congolese Slavery that is perhaps the worst in human history is the basis of our electronic devices.

[innerpull]

"Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative and creation, there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too.

All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favour all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance which no man could have dreamed would have come his way.

Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now."

I haven’t yet watched but the title!

10 years ago I quit my job after issues with management.

I tried working from home under various schemes and everyone would laugh and say it’s a pyramid scheme, get a job. Fairs. But then what is an employment structure if not a pyramid scheme. And then what is society itself if not a pyramid scheme. So much illusion crumbled right there for me in that moment 10 years ago. I’ve said it ever since. Society is a pyramid scheme! This is the first time I’ve seen it written.

[vanesssaguevarahypno]

I have been binge-watching alot of your videos, and they have been so helpful in clarifying the things I should be doing in my business, on top of all the other philosophical gems you mention. I am so grateful that I have found this channel.

[Nonamed]

so glad I stumbled across your channel right as im prbably as lost as ive ever been in my life. Long story short I worked for my father in his metalworks company throughout covid, got really mentally drained by the entire situation and almost ruined the relationship with my father, so I decided to leave everything behind from one day to the other, moved countries to a circle of friends who now are my family. Being responsible for my very own life for the first time in my life as a 27 y old has been nothing but terrifying and hard.. I now realize what I left behind and am much more appreciative of what I had in the past, but I cannot rly go back since my father and I are just functioning better when we dont see each other day to day. I am now the director of my own story but am just lost at how I will make it. Your videos are giving me one hell of a stepping stone to get things right, drop out of school I dont even want to do, get a "necessity" job and then start building towards my dreams and ambitions. I feel like it the beginning of something big but right now I am terribly scared because I feel like I might have bitten off a little more than I can chew. Good luck to everyone out there, may your wishes come true!

[trueobscuregaming]

I'm always extremely sceptical to these kinds of videos, self improvement in general, but you have been very inspiring. You are more clear on how to progress in life, while other people often don't know what they are talking about since their success was a very concrete thing. They are telling you to quit certain things to save up a few bucks a month, but they brag about how much they spend on cars, partying, women etc. They got random success from some unethical business and they try to make it seem like that cola you shouldn't buy makes all the difference.

Success is literally just accomplishing goals. Find a problem in your life, and instead of complaining about it, find the solution and make that your purpose/goal. A successfull person does not neccessarily own a million dollars. It's not about money. It's about happiness and purpose.

Dan, I just finished watching and I have to say…
You have a wonderful mind and soul ❤
My favorite part was every minute of it. Wow. Thank you for bringing such amazing value to the world.
As I said, I have been marinating for too long. I know what I want, I know how to do it, but I’ve been so conflicted with myself and I really couldn’t figure out why and it’s absolutely a lack of clarity. Thank you!

[hassansyed]

Dan, I can certainly commend you on the level of depth in your content.
You have an introspective approach on just us humans just merely living and being sentient but also maximizing our potential using our surroundings/knowledge.
I find myself coming to your videos near the end of the day when I want to put everything together and really update my biological software.
Appreciate the hard work man.

[adriansullivan]

I think balance is really important too, a lot of people never accept responsibility because it seems like we have to be a certain way all the time but I think slowly evolving into your best form is the most natural and effective for long term change

[Jeremiahbae]

To communicate with very little ego on a platform that fuels, promotes and gives rise to it is truly amazing. Loving this content. ❤️

Thanks to Dan's special F Formula I got 4 women pregnant. 🙏
