1 like = 5 pushups. Please I really need these pushups. Really appreciated for the likes. I did this to keep people accounted. I was acting a little depressed and lazy 10 months ago but now Im back on tract. Much love guys and girls
You cut a lot of the context out of this. He was saying that bad friends become distractions but encourages the formation of a tribe of like minded brothers
8 months ago, this video changed my life. I had just faced my first rejection from a girl, and i felt like i needed to focus on myself a bit to gain back confidence. This video implanted this mindset of setting clear goals, and then trying to achieve them, and I'll keep this habit of mine for a long time. I don't really watch Hamza anymore, i got what i needed from him, plus his opinions are too extreme for me, but at the time his videos were really precious to me. It helped me heal, and it helps me to grow and achieve a good purposeful life. Thank you
@@Raw_pancakes some ppl think others contribute more than other ppl. When hamza talks about "low quality" he's talking about ppl who engage in instant gratification hobbies like drinking and drugs. Ofc every human deserves to live and matters but some will bring you down. Atleast that's my interpretation of it
@@kantui100 I agree but my only concern is when he's talking of high and low quality, that's a generalised term. It would be concerning if people start to accept it as something that is evident for everyone, rather than for some
thank you my people abandonded me and i didnt see the true light i was entering i almost killed myself bc i was lost no joke, but really those ppl were evil and it was a tip from god to get me to evolve into better.
New content is starting to appeal to an older audience like myself (I'm 24) Please keep providing higher levels of knowledge and ideas. As you progress, I can see myself in the mirror through you. I appreciate your advice, you are an incredible influence and highly relatable.
Hey bro. Here’s your summary guy: Step 1: The Directions Set clear goals. Don't have more than 3 extremely important goals. Think about your goals 24/7, but don't let them control you. Step 2: The Distractions Cut all bad habits (EVERYTHING SHOULD BE REMOVED). No "off days" if you want to be successful. The World is full of bullshit distractions, just stay away and save yourself for once. If you have less fun now, you'll have more fun in the future. Step 3: The Basic Attack If you are trying to quit your bad habits, change your basic attack. It means changing what you do in your free time to avoid resorting back to bad habits (E.g. playing games - watching podcasts, doing the bad deed - reading books). Consuming content is not bad. Educational content is better than not consuming content at all (depending on your condition). Improve your thoughts, you will take action eventually. Step 4: The 1 Task Rule What is the 1 task that will achieve 80% or more of your goal? For example, a RUclipsr only needs to record and upload a video to achieve almost everything that he wants. Do that task, and keep things simple.
Please, don't ever ever stop making these long format videos, I beg you. The sense of clarity I have, the peace I feel is unmatchable. I was distracted from being an extreme guy in my whole generation and family to a victim of these instant hit dopamine frying videos. Now my brain and true self( being an extreme achiever) is fogless because of you brother. I beg you literally. I don't have massive following to convey this to you directly but I can only comment. Don't stop making these long format videos; you are giving purest form of value Hamza. Love
I can't express how happy I am that you switched back to this kind of content. It might sound weird, but I feel like the "spiritual connection" I had with you is finally back
i can relate so much to you. i was back to my old habits, living like i used to live, play games and stuff. But now yeah im back at it again! Got the connection back with hamza
I was literally going to search about monk mode and at the same exact time i got Hamza's notification about monk mode. It's like god planned it for me. I had been planning to start monk mode after a holiday (which ended today) and I'm blessed i can start it with this video. Thank you Hamza for changing my life, and good luck to all my brothers out there who are trying to improve theirs. Love you all and thank you Hamza once again!
“When we hyper focus on only a few things, we can accomplish them” - Hamza “All successful guys are extreme” -Hamza “To become successful to the level that you want, you need to have as many of your thoughts directed to your goals” - Hamza “These bad habits take these thoughts away from you” - Hamza “You are no longer the guy who is searching for stimulation, you are now the guy who is searching for education” - Hamza “Anytime you have some free time, just learn, don’t stimulate” - Hamza
Thanks for putting "- Hamza" after every quote. I did not know whose video I was watching, and seeing that every quote from this video was said by "Hamza" really helped me.
It's a few days to my 20th birthday and thank God I found this. It's about to change everything for me❤️. I'll be back with my review by August ☺️. Btw, any other girl here?
Im a 13 year old boy I was feeling shit about everything.playing games,eating junk food,not exercising was my daily habits I knew that i was just wasting my time with those things And you are the person who made me have a great mindset ❤❤ Love you hamza ❤
There is no reason for you to be depressed at such an age! i'm saying this just because i care about you even tho i'm a complete stranger towards you may be suffering things that as of now i'm not aware of! But i'm telling you this out of concern because at such a young age you should be happy and all that good stuff and not being fucking depressed
Y’all are 13 lmao. Calm down little kids. Keep being a kid. This self improvement hardcore stuff should on,y be done by like 16 and up. Y’all aren’t even done puberty yet u think u wanna get urself into this stuff 😂
@@WhitePeopleAreAnnoying there is no age to improve and the way you spoke defines your immaturity . 12 or 13 it doesnt matter if they have invested time in instant gratification there is nothing wrong in investing time in improvement
I just turned 21 four days ago. I am incredibly grateful for this knowledge you have given me and will surely take action. Today is the beginning of my new life. Thank you Hamza.
I was doing all the things hamza specified in this video, i was totally in that monk mode from the day the video released. But today i just fucked up and started doing all those shity things and kept falling in trap now im regretting it. I am here to rewatch the video and to continue all the good habits i was doing from last 3 days. I run this mf brain not the brain runs me.
For a teenager going into adulthood with no father his whole life I can’t help but thank you for taking charge and changing your life to show me and give me the motivation that I can do so as well thank you❤
True practicing muslim is always in monk more thus, its simple Be practising AND follow the obligations of ALLAH ...YOU WILL BE HAPPY HERE AND HEREAFTER
I've just realized that I think I'm wearing the exact bathrobe/dressing gown that Hamzas wearing hahaa that's crazy, hopefully I'm destined for greatness
This video really did something to me. I haven't felt like playing video games for 2 weeks now. I've been trying to get better as a programmer to get a better job and I suddenly got all this motivation to study and build shit like never before. The idea that I would spend any amount of time on video games when I have this more important goal in front of me seems insane to me now. It felt so overwhelming before because there's so much to learn with programming but that was because I was spending so little time on it and spending more time playing games. Now I cut out the games and I have all this time to just learn what I need to learn. I can see the path forward now and that gives me more motivation to keep going.
I changed my life in one week by cutting out every single bad habits but the one thing that brought me down is not having a destination or goal. I can’t express enough how important goals are to your self improvement success.
I am not down bad now, I am doing real good now, but this video is what I needed. Thank you, Hamza. My hunger for knowledge and education finally comes back. Thank you, you've changed my mind
I tried to get my friends on self improvement and you are absolutely right. They were so uninterested and didnt really think this is something they need.
Yeah in my opinion, those that will get to the point where they are on self improvement are those who hit rock bottom, e.g Hamza played 10 hours a day on RuneScape and I would average 6-8 hours a day on Tiktok staying up till 4am thinking I was doing really fking well if I went to sleep before 3, most people will never reach that level so most won't understand self improvement to the same level we do
Watched the whole video in a sitting, wrote everything down, did everything you told. Took about 2h20min, thank you for the knowledge bro, STAY HARD. Getting Goggins on the book would be crazy. Recently turned 16 and been watching you for longer than a year, can't thank you enough, I am eternally grateful.
I’m 19. At 15 I studied over 20 hours a day at peak performance and got accepted into one of the top 10 high schools in my country. Yet at 19 I have nothing to show for it. I graduated with a big fat “REJECTED” from the medical school I took the entrance exam to haha. Oh how I’ve fallen from grace. But I ain’t done yet motherfucker. It ain’t over till the fat bitch sings Ey? 😂 We’re both young boys trying to become better men. May we both find fortune in our lives. Time to change. Time to callus my mind.
Hey there bro, I too had encountered hamza last year, at the age of 16. My life at that point was really depressing , but now I have started really heeding his advice. I've been trying my best to do meditation, journaling and working out for 3 months now(working out and journaling wasn't very consistent hence not much gains) but I find my self more depressed. This is because I only did this basic stuff. Now I've decided to worl towards actual goals. Wish you luck on your journey
earlier this year i was in between a rough divorce my parents were going through. I found some horrible things out about my father, and realised he wasnt a man at all. thanks to hamza ive been able to educate myself, and put myself in a direction which is beneficial to me, and to my loved ones (eg gf and mum), so thankyou hamza.
Monk mode is something I thought about before Hamza posted this video, but It’s so cool to see someone talk about this for >1 hour. I’ve already had the idea having a 6-12 month period where I simply learn, implement and teach, which this video can help me start with.
This one really flipped the switch in me Hamza, thanks a lot. Whole video encapsulates the meaning of self improvement. Do the hard work especially when you don’t feel like it. 😙
I just wanna say. Hamza is a lot different then most of these masculinity channels. He isn’t manipulating us trying to make us believe we will never be on his level. He pushes us to be the best version of ourselves. Last year I weighed 176lbs (I’m 6,6). Now I weight 203. I can now almost bench my body weight. Use to I would bench 75lbs. Now I’m benching 195lbs. Thank u Hamza. Keep Inspiring
The way Hamza himself gets genuently hyped up when spitting absolute facts tells a lot about his reasons doing this, these topics covered in this video has helped him and will also help us. Thank you Hamza.
Please continue with this type of content. I can listen to these long form gemstones of wisdom while doing my day to day tasks at my full-time job work and it is enriching my soul with ideas that help me grow as a person. I have gained an elevated sense of respect for you brother with these last few long-form videos you've posted, these few are worth infinitely more than the hundreds of short edited videos you've put out. If the old style made people say you've saved their lives, fuck that, this type of shit is on a whole other level.
Hamza, I wanna let you know I'm so thankful for your content. You upload quite long videos very frequently and make a lot of people change their mindsets. Thank you for all your content
Bro I don't know how to thank you bro, you just get into peoples mind like a mystic and relate all the things at the possible level. I won't hesistate to say that you are just doing one of the most helpful things to peoples lives and you are one of the greatest youtubers of this gen who knows this gen in their veins. like hats off to you, I wish i could surely get a chance to meet you later on in our lives .
Thank you for your work Hamza, I've been watching you for months. I'm finally breaking free. Filling my life with good habits. I don't aim to be successful, I'll become the man whose daily habits bring success.
This is basically what I needed. Monk Mode, as a method, is, in my opinion, essential to take a step back from our addicting and stimulating world. Just imagine disappearing for a certain period, returning as a better, stronger, smarter ''different'' person. I needed such a video to not get lost. As always, thank you Hamza.
One of the top Best vedios I have watched in my life,that is realy worth it of emplimenting all the advice,it will change your life for good,thank you Hamza ❤
You said it right hamza I started watching educational videos and motivational videos like a year ago and rn I am taking actions without even knowing that when you mentioned this in your video its like a spark just popped in my brain like yeah you are so right on it I am back into college I am trying to stop all the bad habits I gained for the last 3 years and it is actually working so good for me I have a clear visions about what I want to be in the future and how to reach that spot thank you man Remember people if you don’t suffer you won’t make it it is the hard truth
After 2 years of watching self improvement videos and never making any sagnificant progress this video has made it click for me. Im increadebly grateful for your advice Hamza. God bless you
When I first took the test I had a score of 17 i depression and 12 in anxiety. I just took the test again to see where im at 3 months into self improvement and my depression score is 2 and anxiety is 1. I'm so grateful for Hamza because if it wasn't for him I'd still be in the higher range. Thank you.
Especially for me watching those full-length podcast videos does help me a lot in improving my English skills. As someone who doesn't speak English as my native language, I'm very proud of myself because I'm going to my third language. Thank you for helping me in my most difficult time, Hamza. God bless you a lot!
So I started listening to Hazma and another guy and I have listened read over 100 books and these 2 guys have sparked something in me that led me to do something I have always wanted to do. I posted my first RUclips channel motivational video last night. I didn’t over think it like always, did what I could, came out so so and posted. The journey has begun 🙏.
I am 21, hearing something like this at the age you are watching this would've been life altering. Don't take it for granted. Also brother, here's another shortcut... Turn to God but not through blind faith but logic and reason. Keep building your life up and exceed all the expectations you have set for yourself God-willing
Hamza, thank you! You really turned my life forever. I don’t mind if you read this or not, but because of you it will never be the same! One of my goals is to meet the guy like you and become your friend. I will try my best
Thank you hamza, this has truly been one of the most inspirational truths i've ever heard. Known of you for a year or two, but been truly trying to follow you for the past few weeks. Watching a couple videos each day and listening to you whilst training or walking in the woods. I strive to better myself, implementing your advices as best i can. So thanks.
These might be the most life-changing video you've ever made. Hamza, you are a genius. Thank you Hamza for making this video. I'm 100% sure that this video will change my life for the better.
This video was incredible.I found myself smiling whenever hamza said a new thing that he did because he said the exact things that I did if that makes sense. This helped me realize i’m actually making progress and I’m thankful hamza 👊
I've really struggled and went through worst moments of my life during Q3-Q4 2022 and it's when I've started consuming motivational eye-opening Hamza and The Tate Brothers and finally in december started to take action, working out and getting my shit done. Finished my bachelor's with my ASMR RUclips channel project. Then I saw some possibities and i'm trying to leverage it and push forward this idea. However I struggle, because of the bad habits. I've just come from work and watched all this video. I know it's just what I needed. Gonna work on bad stuff and form a new basic attack for creating more of these videos. Thank you for this one. I know I'll stick on to it and can't wait to get back here in a year to see my progress (28.03.23 today). Stay healthy broski
I'm 13 ¾ years old. Ramadan finishes tomorrow and I had made a goal to myself to get my screen time from 8 to 3 hours a day. Still pretty ass but this was a massive change for me. I watered my plants went for walks (around thrice a week) and thank god for the place I live in to be filled with so many kind people and beautiful nature. I didn't Meditate at all but I will start it after ramadan is over. My goal now (without having the worry of not consuming food and getting tired easily) is to lose fat, go for 7.5k steps each day, Meditate 10+ mins, shadow box until I'm prepared for hitting the bag, correct my sleeping schedule and a lot more stuff. The single worst thing that has affected me was youtube shorts, an endless feed of stimulation throughout which led to me having 5 hours+ of screen time. I need tips on how to solve this issue and overcome watching youtube entirely, but I think I will find out hoe to avoid it during my summer break. I also have to start Journaling, and stop wasting my time on dumbass things. Fapping too is a bad habit. Overall, I think I'll make it.
The fact you are here and tell your story and what is holding you back means you are already see whats going on.. thats step 1.. you cant make these bad habits disapear overnight. The seed is planted already.. all you have to do is water the seed and take care of the growth. You got this!
@@Z3KR. it originates from Buddhism (as the theory goes) but that doesn't mean it's haram (unless you wanna believe it is). It's a tool that can be used by anyone to be more mindful. I know ur entitled to ur own opinion but that's what I think about it
Your 'basic attack' and time learning before taking actions make so much sense, thank you Hamza. I have been wondering what's wrong with myself when I cannot do what I've learned. But then I realise, it takes time for the lessons to sink in and do the good habit.
Hi Hamza, I started my self-improvement journey 2 weeks ago. First 3 days were just living hell that i was constantly thinking about video games and shit. By the days go by my brain was refreshing day by day. And the moment u said about cutting out your shitty friends i thought why cant i just change them like me boom i felt soo happy when i got that thought so i just messaged to him "lets meet i have things to talk about" now im gonna change his life too. Thank you Hamza
"I am the shell of the man that I'm supposed to be if I don't live up to my potential." "You are the way you are because you've listened to your brain" - hamza
I take pride in the fact that I have gotten one friend on a full self improvement journey, the same one I was going through myself, and I feel more responsibility knowing he is looking up to me. *this is your best video yet, I don't know how you are this smart, but massive respect to you man.
Man this video keeps reading My mind, it tales months to finally undestand that Bad habits should be 100% gone, but sometimes u don't have with what to full ur time, I really gotta sit down and make a good plan about how to reach My goals
My 14th birthday is coming up soon and u have changed my life so much. I’m becoming a better version of myself and I feel so good. To all others around my age u can make it and your not too young!
Can you make an updated full guide to self improvement. Your old one was very good but I think with all of the new content it would be a few hours longer. Thank you Hamza

Hey Hamza I like the message u stand for and put out. I really respected your change to RUclips output and how u changed ur RUclips style to focus more on helping those already on a good path. Not sure this video is the kind of video you promised to put out from now on though. I think this video is a message you have repeated several times before. No hate ofc only love but just hoped this could be constructive feedback for u. ❤❤❤
you probs wont see this but ty for this video, it has given me some genuine good advice and is not short term like the other videos on this platform, this is a life style and i take it with great responsibility to adapt into this man and leave the shell behind
This was great advice ❤ ty I kept running 🏃♂️ from one flight of fancy to another but somehow kept going in circles. Sitting down and writing down these dreams and instilling that discipline really helped. It really helped me clarify my personal dreams and focus. Keep up the great work 👍
Hamza, man u saved my life 1. Made me a person who does not fap 2. Made me a person who is not nice to everyone 3. Made me dedicated towards my work 4. Made me read books 5. Made me meditate 6. Made me eat clean 7. Made me a person with almost less than two hours of screentime 8. Made me your disciple Love you Hamza❤❤❤You are the best You should visit India someday
What Hamza said about listening to self-improvement advice without taking action straight away is so true. I myself have been a game addict since around 6 years old (i am 20 now). I have been watching hamza from when i was around 19. All this time he has said gaming is bad and stuff. After hearing that, its not like i immadiately stopped gaming. Its just that hearing it so many times, i started to actually think the same way, and every time i played a video game, over time i started telling myself while i was playing 'wtf am i doing, im wasting my time'. This mindset builds up so much that eventually i stopped gaming. I have been 'clean' of videogaming for about a month now (and that's so much coming from someone who used to game 8+ hours a day if possible). Thank you hamza for your amazing video's. They've helped me so much so far.
Now, I'm not as attached to video games as you were, but i completely agree with you. I'm 17, playing video games (elden ring) for 1/1.5 hours a day. I have goals for me right now. I'm busy in studying high-level highschool math and i have computer science classes, so i take a lot of responsibility for taking care of my study schedule and making sure i don't neglect it. but i also want to be a musician, and i want to continue practice the guitar after 3 (quite lacking) years. i also want to learn how to drive. But all of this can't happen if i keep feeding my brain with interactive distractions at 60 frames per second. at the beginning of the video when hazma said to picture my goals, it was a hard decision for me to take, but i decided that until june 20th (3 months from now and the end of 11th grade), i half my video game consumption, and by the end of December i cut it entirely. I'd try to replace it with mainly meditation. it will help me clear my mind and prepare it for more guitar practice with my recording tools, and studying on how to drive, and earning money and having a life. wish me luck, random comment guy
Brother I totally resonate with you on this, after hearing him talk about how video games is such a waste of time I literally cant even play anymore. My mind goes straight to thinking how this is such a waste of time.
Short summary a/c to my understanding: 1.You need to set goals and pick & prioritize the least number of them otherwise you will get carried away by multiple goals and end up no where. Ideally try to pick 2-3 goals till the end of this year or 6 months from when you set your goals MAKE SURE YOUR GOALS ARE REALISTIC or you will revert back to your own shitty way of living. Having less things to focus on will help you become really good in those aspects and in turn make you more successful. 2. Hamza says you need to completely REMOVE your distractions. No 1 hour or half an hour of video games, porn, weed, etc. Modern addictions are so effective and powerful that only one hour of it can hamper your focus and fry your dopamine receptors badly. Stay away from your 'friends' coz they all Jeffery if they really cared they would have not even allowed you to be in this bad position that you are in right now, they will try to pull you down coz they don't want to improve and out of jealousy pull you down as well and any ways they are not your long term friends so why bother focus on your self and ignore them. 3. Now that you have decided that you will leave all your distractions you will have a lot of free time where you will get bored and eventually revert back to the bad habits we need to avoid this so what you will do is fill up those empty space of time with learning. Hamza explains how you may not be actively be on self improvement but watch videos of it and feel like shit but it is infinite times better than jacking off to porn, or playing video games, or smoking weed. You need to at least keep learning via watching long form content (podcast) 1-2 hours of duration or reading books more over prefer watching the video of podcast rather than just listening as it helps in better learning 4. Try to stick to one task which aids in progressing toward your goal and get extremely good at it for example if you are already watching podcast, why not watch the one which may help you in improving the way you approach your goal instead of some random celebrity podcast. if something is missing please inform me so that I can update this comment.
The most difficult thing for me to sort in my life has alwaya been and still is my sleeping pattern. Writing this at 3am, i just feel there is never enough time in the day and then use up all the time in the night would love a video(or to be directed somewhere else) to get the disicpline to sort that out. Great video as always, your video on religion, as well as Jordan Peterson talking on creating a relationship with God helped me massively into accepting I have always kinda been lowkey religious and its not something I should be scared of accepting in myself. Thank you again, keep going brother.

" when you have ambitious goals, friends become distraction " - Lesson from Hamza
Truw
That's true.
Depends on your friends really
I've contested that idea for a long time but tbh it is the truth
You cut a lot of the context out of this. He was saying that bad friends become distractions but encourages the formation of a tribe of like minded brothers
8 months ago, this video changed my life.
I had just faced my first rejection from a girl, and i felt like i needed to focus on myself a bit to gain back confidence.
This video implanted this mindset of setting clear goals, and then trying to achieve them, and I'll keep this habit of mine for a long time.
I don't really watch Hamza anymore, i got what i needed from him, plus his opinions are too extreme for me, but at the time his videos were really precious to me.
It helped me heal, and it helps me to grow and achieve a good purposeful life. Thank you
What's extreme about him
@@kantui100"high quality men & women"
@@Raw_pancakes some ppl think others contribute more than other ppl. When hamza talks about "low quality" he's talking about ppl who engage in instant gratification hobbies like drinking and drugs. Ofc every human deserves to live and matters but some will bring you down. Atleast that's my interpretation of it
@@kantui100 I agree but my only concern is when he's talking of high and low quality, that's a generalised term. It would be concerning if people start to accept it as something that is evident for everyone, rather than for some
@@Raw_pancakes I understand that tbh
" IF YOU ARE LOSING YOUR FRIEND, CONGRATULATIONS YOU START YOUR JOURNEY ON THE PATH OF SUCCESS "

thank you my people abandonded me and i didnt see the true light i was entering i almost killed myself bc i was lost no joke, but really those ppl were evil and it was a tip from god to get me to evolve into better.

"IF YOU WANT TO BE DIFFERENT THAN EVERYONE ELSE, DO WHAT OTHER PEOPLE DON'T DO"
no shit

🤓
IF YOU NEED TO TAKE A SHIT, TAKE A SHIT
Hey bro.
Here’s your summary guy:
Step 1: The Directions
Set clear goals.
Don't have more than 3 extremely important goals.
Think about your goals 24/7, but don't let them control you.
Step 2: The Distractions
Cut all bad habits (EVERYTHING SHOULD BE REMOVED).
No "off days" if you want to be successful.
The World is full of bullshit distractions, just stay away and save yourself for once.
If you have less fun now, you'll have more fun in the future.
Step 3: The Basic Attack
If you are trying to quit your bad habits, change your basic attack.
It means changing what you do in your free time to avoid resorting back to bad habits (E.g. playing games - watching podcasts, doing the bad deed - reading books).
Consuming content is not bad. Educational content is better than not consuming content at all (depending on your condition).
Improve your thoughts, you will take action eventually.
Step 4: The 1 Task Rule
What is the 1 task that will achieve 80% or more of your goal?
For example, a RUclipsr only needs to record and upload a video to achieve almost everything that he wants.
Do that task, and keep things simple.
thanks man
I do recommend watching the video for the examples
i was just scrolling to search a summary. Thanks man
You lose so much knowledge and nuances by doing that, I would really recommend teaching your mind enough discipline to really hear his wisdom.
I got to quit cigs !!!!!!
Please, don't ever ever stop making these long format videos, I beg you. The sense of clarity I have, the peace I feel is unmatchable. I was distracted from being an extreme guy in my whole generation and family to a victim of these instant hit dopamine frying videos. Now my brain and true self( being an extreme achiever) is fogless because of you brother. I beg you literally. I don't have massive following to convey this to you directly but I can only comment. Don't stop making these long format videos; you are giving purest form of value Hamza. Love
Did you Change?
I can't express how happy I am that you switched back to this kind of content. It might sound weird, but I feel like the "spiritual connection" I had with you is finally back
The good old hamza unfiltered 2 hour long videos with so much value
It's not weird. It's Inspiring
Same
its called "parasocial bonding".
i can relate so much to you. i was back to my old habits, living like i used to live, play games and stuff. But now yeah im back at it again! Got the connection back with hamza
I was literally going to search about monk mode and at the same exact time i got Hamza's notification about monk mode. It's like god planned it for me. I had been planning to start monk mode after a holiday (which ended today) and I'm blessed i can start it with this video. Thank you Hamza for changing my life, and good luck to all my brothers out there who are trying to improve theirs. Love you all and thank you Hamza once again!
hamza heard us bro same thing happend tonme
the fuck bro same thing with me i thought of watching iman's vid but this came

Thanks for putting "- Hamza" after every quote. I did not know whose video I was watching, and seeing that every quote from this video was said by "Hamza" really helped me.

i'm saying this just because i care about you even tho i'm a complete stranger towards you may be suffering things that as of now i'm not aware of!

Thank you papi
Love You and Thank You Hamza
Thank you!!!
I've just realized that I think I'm wearing the exact bathrobe/dressing gown that Hamzas wearing hahaa
that's crazy, hopefully I'm destined for greatness
This video really did something to me. I haven't felt like playing video games for 2 weeks now. I've been trying to get better as a programmer to get a better job and I suddenly got all this motivation to study and build shit like never before. The idea that I would spend any amount of time on video games when I have this more important goal in front of me seems insane to me now.
It felt so overwhelming before because there's so much to learn with programming but that was because I was spending so little time on it and spending more time playing games. Now I cut out the games and I have all this time to just learn what I need to learn. I can see the path forward now and that gives me more motivation to keep going.
People dont understand how fast they can actually change their whole life - This is Hamzas whole story. You can do that - too!
@@dylang2049 Our greatest Power as Humans is the ability to adapt. 👍
I changed my life in one week by cutting out every single bad habits but the one thing that brought me down is not having a destination or goal. I can’t express enough how important goals are to your self improvement success.
And also the basic attack section is very important make sure you spend every second doing good habits
Having the same problem
@@jacobcampbell7279 you can make your dream physique your goal
I am not down bad now, I am doing real good now, but this video is what I needed. Thank you, Hamza. My hunger for knowledge and education finally comes back. Thank you, you've changed my mind
This is Hamza’s best video to date
I tried to get my friends on self improvement and you are absolutely right. They were so uninterested and didnt really think this is something they need.
Same with me. 😊
Yeah in my opinion, those that will get to the point where they are on self improvement are those who hit rock bottom, e.g Hamza played 10 hours a day on RuneScape and I would average 6-8 hours a day on Tiktok staying up till 4am thinking I was doing really fking well if I went to sleep before 3, most people will never reach that level so most won't understand self improvement to the same level we do
I got my entire class in self improvement (12 boys) and then 1 year later, I still have 5 guys in it. Rest 7 got complacent
To be fair most people don't feel like there's anything wrong so
Today I've told my younger brother to start watching your videos . Your're such an inspiration bro
pleasure is a fools gold
hamza you’ve genuinely changed my life and inspired me to be so much better. I’m genuinely grateful for your work.
Watched the whole video in a sitting, wrote everything down, did everything you told. Took about 2h20min, thank you for the knowledge bro, STAY HARD. Getting Goggins on the book would be crazy.
Recently turned 16 and been watching you for longer than a year, can't thank you enough, I am eternally grateful.

Oh how I’ve fallen from grace.
But I ain’t done yet motherfucker.
It ain’t over till the fat bitch sings Ey? 😂
We’re both young boys trying to become better men.
May we both find fortune in our lives.
Time to change. Time to callus my mind.
Hey there bro, I too had encountered hamza last year, at the age of 16. My life at that point was really depressing , but now I have started really heeding his advice. I've been trying my best to do meditation, journaling and working out for 3 months now(working out and journaling wasn't very consistent hence not much gains) but I find my self more depressed. This is because I only did this basic stuff. Now I've decided to worl towards actual goals. Wish you luck on your journey
earlier this year i was in between a rough divorce my parents were going through. I found some horrible things out about my father, and realised he wasnt a man at all. thanks to hamza ive been able to educate myself, and put myself in a direction which is beneficial to me, and to my loved ones (eg gf and mum), so thankyou hamza.
Monk mode is something I thought about before Hamza posted this video, but It’s so cool to see someone talk about this for >1 hour. I’ve already had the idea having a 6-12 month period where I simply learn, implement and teach, which this video can help me start with.
This one really flipped the switch in me Hamza, thanks a lot. Whole video encapsulates the meaning of self improvement. Do the hard work especially when you don’t feel like it. 😙
I just wanna say. Hamza is a lot different then most of these masculinity channels. He isn’t manipulating us trying to make us believe we will never be on his level. He pushes us to be the best version of ourselves. Last year I weighed 176lbs (I’m 6,6). Now I weight 203. I can now almost bench my body weight. Use to I would bench 75lbs. Now I’m benching 195lbs. Thank u Hamza. Keep Inspiring
you better update ur youtube i tire because you look like a mushroom addict
Hamza bro, The new style of vids I am not exaggerating when I say they are genuinely like 50x better in every aspect for me bro. Keep it up g.
For real
Thank you, brother. It is fascinating how you can record a 1-hour video full of impactful information in one go.
The way Hamza himself gets genuently hyped up when spitting absolute facts tells a lot about his reasons doing this, these topics covered in this video has helped him and will also help us. Thank you Hamza.
Man, it's hard to do such a focused 1 hour video, especially unfiltered. Hamza is doing some incredible work ❤
Please continue with this type of content. I can listen to these long form gemstones of wisdom while doing my day to day tasks at my full-time job work and it is enriching my soul with ideas that help me grow as a person. I have gained an elevated sense of respect for you brother with these last few long-form videos you've posted, these few are worth infinitely more than the hundreds of short edited videos you've put out. If the old style made people say you've saved their lives, fuck that, this type of shit is on a whole other level.
Hey man, I just finished watching the whole video and wow you truly understand what I want in life and where I am right now. I needed this. Thank you!
Hands down the most impactfull video i've watched in years. Finally, someone who is not suger-coating the process. 🙌
Thank you so much Hamza, you are a blessing for our world 🙏❤!
Really hats off to you bro, you have been like a mentor we never had. We will continue the legacy! ❤

I won't hesistate to say that you are just doing one of the most helpful things to peoples lives and you are one of the greatest youtubers of this gen who knows this gen in their veins. like hats off to you, I wish i could surely get a chance to meet you later on in our lives .
Hamza you are such an inspiration thank you so much for helping us in this journey man 🥰
Thank you for your work Hamza, I've been watching you for months. I'm finally breaking free. Filling my life with good habits. I don't aim to be successful, I'll become the man whose daily habits bring success.
Thank you for fixing your content, good to be watching you again.
This is basically what I needed. Monk Mode, as a method, is, in my opinion, essential to take a step back from our addicting and stimulating world. Just imagine disappearing for a certain period, returning as a better, stronger, smarter ''different'' person. I needed such a video to not get lost. As always, thank you Hamza.

Remember people if you don’t suffer you won’t make it it is the hard truth
After 2 years of watching self improvement videos and never making any sagnificant progress this video has made it click for me. Im increadebly grateful for your advice Hamza. God bless you
3 month later and im here again. I didnt make the progress i wanted. Next time im back i will have achieved my goals
When I first took the test I had a score of 17 i depression and 12 in anxiety. I just took the test again to see where im at 3 months into self improvement and my depression score is 2 and anxiety is 1. I'm so grateful for Hamza because if it wasn't for him I'd still be in the higher range. Thank you.
Thats impressive bro congrats

God bless you a lot!
So I started listening to Hazma and another guy and I have listened read over 100 books and these 2 guys have sparked something in me that led me to do something I have always wanted to do. I posted my first RUclips channel motivational video last night. I didn’t over think it like always, did what I could, came out so so and posted. The journey has begun 🙏.

These might be the most life-changing video you've ever made. Hamza, you are a genius. Thank you Hamza for making this video. I'm 100% sure that this video will change my life for the better.
This video was incredible.I found myself smiling whenever hamza said a new thing that he did because he said the exact things that I did if that makes sense. This helped me realize i’m actually making progress and I’m thankful hamza 👊
I've really struggled and went through worst moments of my life during Q3-Q4 2022 and it's when I've started consuming motivational eye-opening Hamza and The Tate Brothers and finally in december started to take action, working out and getting my shit done. Finished my bachelor's with my ASMR RUclips channel project. Then I saw some possibities and i'm trying to leverage it and push forward this idea. However I struggle, because of the bad habits. I've just come from work and watched all this video. I know it's just what I needed. Gonna work on bad stuff and form a new basic attack for creating more of these videos. Thank you for this one. I know I'll stick on to it and can't wait to get back here in a year to see my progress (28.03.23 today). Stay healthy broski

I'm 13 ¾ years old. Ramadan finishes tomorrow and I had made a goal to myself to get my screen time from 8 to 3 hours a day. Still pretty ass but this was a massive change for me. I watered my plants went for walks (around thrice a week) and thank god for the place I live in to be filled with so many kind people and beautiful nature. I didn't Meditate at all but I will start it after ramadan is over. My goal now (without having the worry of not consuming food and getting tired easily) is to lose fat, go for 7.5k steps each day, Meditate 10+ mins, shadow box until I'm prepared for hitting the bag, correct my sleeping schedule and a lot more stuff. The single worst thing that has affected me was youtube shorts, an endless feed of stimulation throughout which led to me having 5 hours+ of screen time. I need tips on how to solve this issue and overcome watching youtube entirely, but I think I will find out hoe to avoid it during my summer break. I also have to start Journaling, and stop wasting my time on dumbass things. Fapping too is a bad habit. Overall, I think I'll make it.
The fact you are here and tell your story and what is holding you back means you are already see whats going on.. thats step 1.. you cant make these bad habits disapear overnight.
The seed is planted already.. all you have to do is water the seed and take care of the growth. You got this!
Hey hey , you're a Muslim do not meditate only pray your 5 prayers in the day meditation is from the budha religion or smth it's Haram!

@@hountybunter True that, it's the main reason why I haven't been able to make progress over the past couple of months, thanks!

Hi Hamza, I started my self-improvement journey 2 weeks ago. First 3 days were just living hell that i was constantly thinking about video games and shit. By the days go by my brain was refreshing day by day. And the moment u said about cutting out your shitty friends i thought why cant i just change them like me boom i felt soo happy when i got that thought so i just messaged to him "lets meet i have things to talk about" now im gonna change his life too. Thank you Hamza

Man this video keeps reading My mind, it tales months to finally undestand that Bad habits should be 100% gone, but sometimes u don't have with what to full ur time, I really gotta sit down and make a good plan about how to reach My goals
My 14th birthday is coming up soon and u have changed my life so much. I’m becoming a better version of myself and I feel so good. To all others around my age u can make it and your not too young!
Can you make an updated full guide to self improvement. Your old one was very good but I think with all of the new content it would be a few hours longer. Thank you Hamza
Dude I have so much respect for you. You are one of the only creators that actually wants the best for us and not you.
he said he would stop making new videos, tho they keep coming.
You so real man..I feel like I'm sitting right infront of you listening to you

Hey Hamza I like the message u stand for and put out. I really respected your change to RUclips output and how u changed ur RUclips style to focus more on helping those already on a good path. Not sure this video is the kind of video you promised to put out from now on though. I think this video is a message you have repeated several times before. No hate ofc only love but just hoped this could be constructive feedback for u. ❤❤❤
you probs wont see this but ty for this video, it has given me some genuine good advice and is not short term like the other videos on this platform, this is a life style and i take it with great responsibility to adapt into this man and leave the shell behind
This was great advice ❤ ty I kept running 🏃♂️ from one flight of fancy to another but somehow kept going in circles. Sitting down and writing down these dreams and instilling that discipline really helped. It really helped me clarify my personal dreams and focus. Keep up the great work 👍
Hamza, man u saved my life
1. Made me a person who does not fap
2. Made me a person who is not nice to everyone
3. Made me dedicated towards my work
4. Made me read books
5. Made me meditate
6. Made me eat clean
7. Made me a person with almost less than two hours of screentime
8. Made me your disciple
Love you Hamza❤❤❤You are the best
You should visit India someday

YOU did that too ❤
Diet- meat
@@ireneedmonds4712nah without Hamza he wouldn't be there
I urge everyone watching this video to not skip the stage 3 part. I can 100% resonate with the message in it.
This is absolutely brilliant. If you’re in this phase it’s definitely worth every second.
Thanks Hamza ❤
What Hamza said about listening to self-improvement advice without taking action straight away is so true. I myself have been a game addict since around 6 years old (i am 20 now). I have been watching hamza from when i was around 19. All this time he has said gaming is bad and stuff. After hearing that, its not like i immadiately stopped gaming. Its just that hearing it so many times, i started to actually think the same way, and every time i played a video game, over time i started telling myself while i was playing 'wtf am i doing, im wasting my time'. This mindset builds up so much that eventually i stopped gaming. I have been 'clean' of videogaming for about a month now (and that's so much coming from someone who used to game 8+ hours a day if possible). Thank you hamza for your amazing video's. They've helped me so much so far.
Now, I'm not as attached to video games as you were, but i completely agree with you. I'm 17, playing video games (elden ring) for 1/1.5 hours a day.
I have goals for me right now. I'm busy in studying high-level highschool math and i have computer science classes, so i take a lot of responsibility for taking care of my study schedule and making sure i don't neglect it.
but i also want to be a musician, and i want to continue practice the guitar after 3 (quite lacking) years. i also want to learn how to drive.
But all of this can't happen if i keep feeding my brain with interactive distractions at 60 frames per second.
at the beginning of the video when hazma said to picture my goals, it was a hard decision for me to take, but i decided that until june 20th (3 months from now and the end of 11th grade), i half my video game consumption, and by the end of December i cut it entirely. I'd try to replace it with mainly meditation.
it will help me clear my mind and prepare it for more guitar practice with my recording tools, and studying on how to drive, and earning money
and having a life.
wish me luck, random comment guy
Brother I totally resonate with you on this, after hearing him talk about how video games is such a waste of time I literally cant even play anymore. My mind goes straight to thinking how this is such a waste of time.
What do you do instead of gaming now?
Watching these long format videos during Ramadan is really nice, thanks for uploading
This is the best video i ever seen on my whole life, thank you Hamza.
You are truly a positive force in the world. I love your content. May God bless you.
Short summary a/c to my understanding:
1.You need to set goals and pick & prioritize the least number of them otherwise you will get carried away by multiple goals and end up no where. Ideally try to pick 2-3 goals till the end of this year or 6 months from when you set your goals MAKE SURE YOUR GOALS ARE REALISTIC or you will revert back to your own shitty way of living. Having less things to focus on will help you become really good in those aspects and in turn make you more successful.
2. Hamza says you need to completely REMOVE your distractions. No 1 hour or half an hour of video games, porn, weed, etc. Modern addictions are so effective and powerful that only one hour of it can hamper your focus and fry your dopamine receptors badly. Stay away from your 'friends' coz they all Jeffery if they really cared they would have not even allowed you to be in this bad position that you are in right now, they will try to pull you down coz they don't want to improve and out of jealousy pull you down as well and any ways they are not your long term friends so why bother focus on your self and ignore them.
3. Now that you have decided that you will leave all your distractions you will have a lot of free time where you will get bored and eventually revert back to the bad habits we need to avoid this so what you will do is fill up those empty space of time with learning. Hamza explains how you may not be actively be on self improvement but watch videos of it and feel like shit but it is infinite times better than jacking off to porn, or playing video games, or smoking weed. You need to at least keep learning via watching long form content (podcast) 1-2 hours of duration or reading books more over prefer watching the video of podcast rather than just listening as it helps in better learning
4. Try to stick to one task which aids in progressing toward your goal and get extremely good at it for example if you are already watching podcast, why not watch the one which may help you in improving the way you approach your goal instead of some random celebrity podcast.
if something is missing please inform me so that I can update this comment.
Don't trust your own brain, trust the brain that is already successful
Love it
I never felt somebody can be more genuine than him
The most difficult thing for me to sort in my life has alwaya been and still is my sleeping pattern. Writing this at 3am, i just feel there is never enough time in the day and then use up all the time in the night would love a video(or to be directed somewhere else) to get the disicpline to sort that out. Great video as always, your video on religion, as well as Jordan Peterson talking on creating a relationship with God helped me massively into accepting I have always kinda been lowkey religious and its not something I should be scared of accepting in myself. Thank you again, keep going brother.
