The Question You Need To Ask Yourself
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 май 2020
- There were two friends that grew up together.
However after they were done with their education, they went their separate ways.
One friend became extremely successful in every aspect.
The other friend however, became the exact opposite.
But no matter how different their lives became, those two friends still kept in touch.
In fact, they talked to each other every day.
That's because those two friends were actually the same person.
The first friend was that person's best and ideal version, while the second one was his worst version.
You and me both have those two friends inside of us. All of us do.
And we have the potential to become either one of them.
Which one we end up becoming though, is determined by the choices we make each and every day.

This channel is the biggest treasure I found in a while.
Agreed.
@@patrickhanson712 i feel the exact same, that channel is gold
Dániel Istvánfi i agree.
Relevant content, straight to the point
True
I was having a bad day and thought I would do nothing today and lie on the bed instead of doing my daily routine task. This video is the reason I am getting back to my daily routine and not lie on the bed all day. Thank you and keep making this videos.
I know, right? I feel the same. It's a nice video!
Congrats man, I hope you achieve whatever you're aiming for
It's these moments that can potentially catapult you into action. This is so good to hear shahir :)
Same here. Just 1 hour before, i felt so bad. But after watching this video, I feel much better. Thank you so much for making this great video
Great, mature choice, Shahir!
this is no new information/knowledge but the way he presented it opened my eyes
100/100
True - it is a very good, clear presentation, for all of us.
Well if you would have read "Indistractable" by Nir Eyal it's not that new :)
@@WeTruly
Dear We truly,
Like Mighty Mouse, the Grammar Police are on the way to save the day !(and the language !) The form of the conditional you used is circulating, but it makes me cringe. The correct form is,
"Well if you HAD read 'Indistractable'............"
Yes agree. My channel has similar content but I always love info graphics. This is very relatable 😇
@@WeTruly oooh this book sounds good thank you for sharing x
Sometimes when m not motivated, I ask myself to imagine what would my ideal version do.., and without a second thought I do it
thats a great way of thinking about it. A great way to weed out bad habits
Wow so Eye-opening!!

@@daffaagung Right. This or "choosing between .... and between ...". The way it is now however does not make any sense.
Wow!!!Awesome quote!!
Sheolitarian A lot of people use this quote to inspire them to make better choices. Would eating junk food be good for you? What do you want most? Making weight loss a priority, keeping positive, and creating good habits will help with that. That is if weight loss is the most important. This quote could be applied to anything. I love the flexibility of this mentality. :)

Hello ossein, I'm sorry to say that's Rubbish, I've made all the right choices and have everything I wished for, I've realised all my dreams, when people look at me they envy me..... However it is not because I am good at playing the game of life that I like that game.
Life always stays guaranteed suffering with a sure death sentence at the end, my only lifelong wish. -. that I never can realise - is never to have been.
@@KD-cg9iq Even the happiest life does seem hopeless when there is no hope because of death. But we have reason to believe that death isn't the last if only we seek with an open, non cynical heart. Humbling ourselves to the possibility that we were made with purpose and love, and that there is a reason doing imoral things elicits such a viceral and tangible reaction in all of us. There are traces of something more and therefore traces of hope. If I were you, I'd look into that, and pursue it, highly intellectualy, unbiasedly, and pridelessly. Would love to hear your thoughts. Much love - a fellow person.
End point is death- the ultimate fail.
This is a really valuable perspective. To take this a bit further, your current version may not be as bad as your worst version, but you will still compare yourself to your best version. This may make you feel like you are so far away from this version, and may never be capable of becoming that version, because the gap is so big. By taking steps towards that version it can give you confidence that you are making progress towards that version and reducing the gap every day.

ive become the worse version of me a long time ago, i was just a lost teenager, quitted school, made unhealthy relationships and habits, now im stick at home with a somatofrom disorder not able even to eat or sleep the way i should, ur videos getting me out of it. thanks man, just thanks what u r doing here is honestly incredible.
"Ask yourself: 'What would the better version of me do'?" Once again, you gave us a piece of advice that is immediately actionable, yet yields great benefits!
from now on I will try my best to be a better version of myself.
No! Do or do not. There is no try!
Thanks! Wish it could be more! You are worth a million!
Great video! “We must all suffer from one of two pains: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret. The difference is discipline weighs ounces while regret weighs tons.”

My best version would be reading books instead of watching RUclips. However, my good version will be taking breaks with RUclips and then focus on reading after this video
True but even our best versions would benefit from watching these videos, RUclips is great to watch if its stuff like this
@@gamertwig3909 I am so thankful for creators who make interesting and informative content like this
You are your own worst enemy. If you can learn to stop expecting impossible perfection, in yourself and others, you may find the happiness that has always eluded you.” - Lisa klepas
B yeah but it at least it was helpful
The best version of me:
- Stop criticizing others (even in my mind)
- Say good things to myself
- Know how to let go
- Take care of myself
- Open to learn
We should all try to aim to be the best version of ourselves. It's only what we deserve.
The best version of me would spread love, have luxury and great laughter with my friends.
And I wish love, luxury and laughter to all of you
That's from Darren Hardy's "The Compound Effect" - best book ever!
"The Slight Edge" is also an excellent book about this topic. It literally changed my life. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
@@flaviopinhota Agreed, I read it, too.
@@flaviopinhota Both great books, I would add "Atomic Habits" for sure
“We are our choices.”
This channel changed my mind more than Matrix changed
Because the times are changing pretty fast, the choices also have to change at the same rate. 10 years back, reading a book would be the best choice to gain right knowledge but presently a 20 knowledge packed minute video on RUclips could have same effect. Point is to be the better version of yourself and at the same time and stay upto date
True. HOWEVER, our ability to focus our attention is degrading. I would suggest not watch too many of those videos, but instead learn to focus the attention to a few at a time so the "knowledge packed minute" can be useful.

There is this amazing girl I like, but I sweared to myself I would not make a move on her until I become the best version of myself! That kept me quite motivated for a while :)
Wait, I think I even made a checklist... damn, that was 2 years ago! ....and I can mereley tick of one single thing T_T ok now im depressed :(
I’m the worst version rn because I’m procrastinating doing my online school work😫
same
I watch the Study with me Cross over from Thomas Frankly, it helps me to get started
School doesn't matter to win in life
Stop talking directly to me right now. I can't lol. Technically i'm not procrastinating... I call it taking a break. He just encouraged my best self is about to get back to work though.
Even if you are procrastinating your work you can still do some exercise and eat healthy to compensate
We are the sum total of all the choices we make.
B I liked the quote, chill out man
Well kinda but but not really. Luck is a big factor. I know a lot of people who did everything right and still failed. For example many newly opened restaurants with great food are now closed because of corona and they will not open again. So that is just really shitty luck.
@@nenadmilovanovic5271 they "chose" to open restaurants rather than Medical stores
I'm so glad I discovered this channel. This video gave me the motivation to continue the story I'm currently writing. Thank you so much! ♥️
I was making the bad choices during quarantine, your video just inspired me to be better than yesterday
how you have time to comment on all this videos !

Compounded effect, just focus on the process but have the end goal in the back of your mind.
Hello Tri, what if the end goal is the wish to never have been ? This video is rubbish, I've made all the right choices and have everything I wished for, I've realised all my dreams, when people look at me they envy me..... However it is not because I am good at playing the game of life that I like that game.

K D I think you need therapy of some sort
@@vendogg hello vendogg, I don't think matters will improve by therapy. I'm hitting fifty and I feel this way since the age of six.
At six I entered primary school, and because this was in a Catholic college we've also got religious lessons.
Here I've learned about the life of Jesus Christ and the way the good man was treated by his equals, the torment and bloodshed, the maliciousness that exists within people.
Indeed when examining the world I was living in I could see that these things were happening for real every day all over the globe, these things and even worse , unimaginable cruelty and agony since as long as life existed.
This is a game of eating or being eaten, a place where the law of the strongest prevails.
Existence isn't meaningless , it is about refined suffering.
Horrified by this knowledge I learned to play the game and it looks as if I'm actually good in it but I hate it to the bone.
How can someone really experience enjoyment I ask myself when you know all the grief and pain there is ? When I'm start laughing I start to feel guilty.....a pointless agony is likely a better description of life, at least the life of someone with a flilantropic attitude . After all, no good deed rests unpunished.
To fully enjoy life one has to be totally unscrupulous, non empathetic and super egoistic of character.
For such people life is one big roller coaster of joy, unrestrained pleasure and ecstasy. Never the less also for these kind of people there is no garantee, derailing of the roller coaster is not excluded and it is a certainty that the roller coaster ends up in station terminus to.......because one can only live in the moment, the last conscious moment is determinative to conclude what life is.....all the last moments of other people I've witnessed where full of suffer, pain and grief, therefore life is suffering..... that's why I say " it's better never to have been"
I do my time here in this awful prison and hope my punishment will be over once I've completed my sentence.
K D thank you for the reply. i take what I said back. I feel after reading this that I am the one who needs the therapy.
@@KD-cg9iq'IGNORANCE IS BLISS'
illusion of choice is the real deal
When I was young, I was not well educated. At that time I was just a little girl who didn't know what was good or bad. My parents had low education levels so they didn't care about me. For a long time I went the wrong way. Growing up, my perception was of what was right and what was wrong. Every day become a good version of yourself. Thank you.
I just want to take a moment to thank you for all the really valuable videos you put on this channel. Some people talk about making the world a better place, but you are actually doing it, one person at a time!😊
"It's the choices that make us who we are" ~ Peter Parker
This channel is helping so many people throughout the world, so from all of us. THANK YOU SO MUCH
This is an unbelievable video! I love how you simplify the solution to this problem so accurately! Staying in the moment and realizing that every second we have a choice to become better or worse is a great piece of wisdom!
I usually don’t like these kind of videos. I wouldn’t call them preachy, but so many of them are covering “easier said than done” topics. You did a great job on this video, and you made it clear to me that I was being too pessimistic. Improving yourself isn’t so easy as just doing everything the right way 100% on the first try, but you made a lot of sense to me by pointing out that a little bit of change compounds over time and is how improving (or not improving) really happens
I just started to watch your videos recently and im feeling like they have an amazing effect on me. I cut my sugar input by over 50% and im still feeling good because i finally realized that by making good decisions now i will someday feel the benfits. Thank you for making me realize that and for your great videos.
Jonas Waack great job dude.
There is no one like you on RUclips. A few may come close, but you sir, have a gift. And you use it very well for the betterment of the world. You are appreciated.
This... hit deep.
I feel attacked, and yet I know I should change.
Thanks for the criticism, perhaps it might be the motivation I needed
This is brilliant! I like that the two friends are one person. This follows what I’ve been thinking about regarding reinventing myself.
This has been one of the best videos I've seen explaining how good habits transform us into our best or ideal version. Every decision counts.
Continuous delay in hope to be more energetic and motivated in future is what kills me
I hope this guy has a great life he helps us so much and you can tell he is a good person
This exact video changed my whole life, your others videos helped me too of course, but the main impact was caused by this one, i just wanted to say, THANK YOU
Thank you so much to the creator of this channel. You have no idea how much this channel has helped me stay productive, happy, and healthy during the quarantine. The lessons I learned from this channel have shaped me as a person to become the best version of myself.
The way this person speaks is too soothing and calming.
This is one of my favourite RUclips channel. Each and every video brings something good every time and makes me better than yesterday. I have started implementing few tips and techniques he had shared in the channel. And I have really felt a good positive change. Thank you so much😍
It's been a year since a subscribe to this channel
English is not my native language but Im thankful I could comprehend most of your words
It really helps me overcome depression
I become wiser on how to handle things
Im an artist who keeps doing my best to make a living, Im glad I found your channel, it really means a lot
Totally agree. It's difficult sometimes to be our best version, but we're humans after all. It's important to try as much as possible to do the right thing :)
These videos are life changing for me. I start every day with one and feel so grateful for them. Thank you so much for sharing.
I feel bad for people that don't know about this channel, i got it back in my routine to watch 1 video before sleep, always exited for it
I feel that sometimes it is okay to make a 'bad' decision, since having some chocolate or playing videogames could be that reward that keeps you going in life, keeping you motivated and happy as you should be allowed to give yourself a dopamine rush once in a while. Great video!
Exactly. It's ok to do something we like sometimes, but the problem is when this "reward" comes from nothing, because we haven't done anything important to deserve that, and the reward stops us from doing the hard work.
My point in my comment exactly I became successful because I failed faster than everyone around me repeatedly until i became successful, you can't ever fail until you quit Trying or if you just stand there at the Y without committing to one or the other the clock is ticking go just go if you can't make a choice go one way or the other very rare for anyone to end up in the place they pictured after leaving school how many people end up in the field they got their degree in ? Very few
Yeah, he has another video about that, about using those things as a reward AFTER you get stuff done. It's called Dopamine detox.
bro of all the motivational channels on youtube yours has got to be the best, i dont know why you're not as big as you deserve to be yet but im rooting for u! thanks for all the great videos
I don't know what put this channel in my recommended but I am truly grateful that it was put there.
I watch this video every day to remind myself of those good choices and to encourage myself to make them. It really helps me
Literally the best RUclips video I have ever seen after 10 years and tens of thousands of videos watched. The highest compliment I can give and thank you! Hope to talk one day.
LOVE your channel! Just discovered it today. Think this is my tribe. And your voice, vocabulary, you have a bright future. DVDs books voice overs, etc. Thank you for the content. Extremely motivating and educational.
Felt like I needed this … not to long ago I felt I was beginning to fall in a rut … now I'm realizing I'm simply run out of choices to make simply because I wont do anything better today, as you said sometimes we think our future self will be more motivated or driven when in actual reality it is now at this time and place that gives you that power to decide on where you going to be … these are my responsibilities and ive got to follow through as I said I will... and not be a half filled book.
That's so Perfect explanation what was eating me and i couldnt understand. I was only putting myself in terms of its 'ideal me day' or 'bad me day'. Often when one bad choice occured, the day was doomed to be the 'bad me behind the wheel'. Splitting day into small decisions made it kind of a game for me. Where i'm trying to win the day with my best version. Thanks a lot, i needed that
sometimes you've just got to look around yourself and ask "What the hell am I doing?!?"
These videos are slowly changing my life . Ty
Found ur channel few days back , videos which i have watched till now , I feel very lucky to find ur channel. Watching this video, felt like seeing myself in mirror. Noticing the choices which is not definitely not in alignment with my best version, literally felt shameful. Hope hearing you and working on all the tips I am from now heading towards becoming the best version of myself. Thank you so much for your channel and it’s content 🙏🏼🙏🏼
6:13 but today is Monday......
so ill be my best version in Wednesday!!
thats how it works isnt it
No. Today is just a day. Humans gave the days their names, and habits gsve them reputation. See it judt as what it really is - a day full of possibilities. Use them, even the worst stones can help in building a nice thing :)

@@DavidOrtiz-dq9fm you're welcome, I'm glad to give something of help. I guess I miss many jokes, since english isn't my native language, but I hope to help with some stuff I've come to learn.

This is very smart. You have to be diffrent now to become different in the future or else you'll stay the same person. Great channel 👌🙏
Thank you very much. I now appreciate that small and daily decisions can impact our lives in the future.
Thank goodness this video showed up when it did! Totally needed this ❤
Every video I see on your channel is always a very good surprise and a new way to explain something we have seen a hundred times on RUclips. Thanks a lot, keep up the work please 👍 !!
Thank you for caring and helping people, your advices helped me a lot ❤️
The only problem is that I could like this video only one time.
So grateful for a channel to hold me accountable. Lets become our best version. Props & thank you.💚☮️
Really appreciate your constant effort in to helping as much people as possible to become a better version of themselves. Thank you
Remember that only a few can become successful. In a competitive market the successful burn out themselves, so everyone is a loser. Try instead to become happy it takes much less effort and you will feel much better. Happiness is the goal, not success.
I really needed this today. I’ve been in a rut for some time and this has given me some clarity.
One of the most useful and mind blowing videos i have seen lately! Thanks!!
Thank you so much ❤️ you're helping so many people with your videos
