overthinking everything?

My story (3 minute read):

I’m Hamza. I’m a normal guy who just randomly discovered the path of discipline and masculinity. I’m pretty obsessive, so I went all in.

Here’s my timeline:

13-18: Loser, video gamer, virgin

18-21: Degenerate, party boy

21-22: Anxious, depressed, and completely lost. Smoking we*d & jacking it to p*rn daily. I would watch self-help content but never take action. Just mindless consumption. Stuck in a toxic relationship with a girl from my party days. We didn’t trust each other, yet we lived together—a miserable reality when the person closest to you feels like a stranger.

22: We break up, and I move back to my parents’ house. That’s when I go all in on discipline—1 hour of meditation every day, fully committed to self-improvement. I start posting on YouTube and hit 1,000 subscribers by December 2020. Then, I date a girl I met on Tinder—she partied and smoked we*d with other guys. That ends too, after her family accuse me of being controlling because I wanted her to stop going out with guys to parties.

23-24: Hit 3,000 subscribers by my birthday (June 10th), and everything takes off after that. Hit 50k in December 2021. My life starts scaling up—fancy gyms, international trips, and some chaotic stories along the way:

- *Mexico:* Got caught having s*x in public and had to run from the police.
- *Greece:* Took a waitress from my home town, I liked her—until she casually mentioned she was known in university for “hooking up with black guys.” I’m brown.
- *Amsterdam:* Tried psyched*lics with my employees, but it hit me so hard I ended up hiding in the toilet, journaling on my phone while everyone else had a great time upstairs. I could hear them laughing.
- *Thailand:* We*d became legalised while I was there. RIP 2 months of productivity.

Life felt big and wild, but the deeper questions about fulfilment started creeping in.

25-26: On my 25th birthday, I hit 500k subscribers. It felt like everything I’d worked for was finally paying off, and I let myself enjoy the fruits of my labor. But with success came complacency. I stopped meditating, lost discipline, and started slipping. "Pride comes before the fall" couldn’t have been more true. I hit 1 million subscribers and moved to Dubai, becoming one of those cringe materialistic influencers. My life looked perfect on the outside, but behind the scenes, I was overwhelmed with extreme stress and shitty health. By the time I hit 2 million subscribers, I was making insane amounts of money but felt purposeless and directionless. I missed the simplicity and fulfilment of the early days when life was hard but meaningful. Success didn’t taste as sweet as I’d imagined.

27: Move to Bali. Realise importance of discipline again. Get humbled in kickboxing gym daily. Already making more than enough money for my simple life. Just enjoy making vids and helping the students in my online school/brotherhood…

PS. I still enjoy growing my family business. It’s fun. But I’m quite aware that chasing views and money isn’t the point of life. Now the focus is on being the best man I can be, and sharing my insights to you so you can get the lessons without the scars.

I have a hard time controlling my emotions, i run my mouth like a fool, i was overthinking and I saw this video

[Artistlncognito]

I actually paused this video and walked over to the girl I have had a crush on and started to talk to her and I had nothing in my mind on what to say, all I started with was Hey, how are you? and we got to talking

[vanir]

I learned a lot in this video, I learned about the fact that making decisions is not as big and complicated as i thought. I learned about the type 1 and type 2 decisions.
Type one decision: This decision is irreversible, it will have a huge impact on your life and it will decide a lot of things in the future, for example proposing or impregnating.
Type two decision: This is a reversible decision, it will have a small impact and in a short period of time this will be of no importance anymore, for example replying to a girl or choosing your meal.
I learned that if I get a type one decision, I will have to think good before I take action. If I get a type two decision then I shouldn’t waste my time overthinking it because it’s not that important, even if I make the wrong decision, it will have low to none impact on me.

I realized that everybody in this world has different opinion and no one is perfect

"do it or don't, you will regret both"

I gotta say the stick man thumb nails are very effective Hamza, i’d stick to them as it gets in touch with teens. I know it did for me

Asalam alaykum hamza I just gotta say I actually sat through this entire video ( 2hr 32 min vid on how to make 10k a month and honestly it was a wake up call. Alhamdulilah I started a TikTok 2 months ago and reached 1k followers and some decent views as I make Islamic content and took your advice of I am the brand I show my face show personality and use my platform to inspire educate and entertain or the IEE as I like to call it even got a lil catchphrase I be saying didn’t even realise it but it’s just my slogan at this point 😂 and once I’m up I really gotta shout you out man you an inspiration fr. Time to get out the matrix for good
