15:30 I had this moment myself last month. After school, some dudes from an Youth Leadership and Communication skills development course thing came to do a workshop at my school. After some explanation of what the importance of leadership and communication skills are, they asked for a volunteer to teach communication skills to, and almost instantly, I raised my hand. It was the most discomfort I have faced in the past 2 years at least, having to stand in front of like at least 100 kids, and being told to give a speech twice (once with how I usually am, and the the second with some tips from the dudes on how to improve my communication). Afterwards, however, I felt so fulfilled
Good job. Good job, bro! Man I don't know you but I'm so proud of you. Keep facing your discomforts. I want you to know that you've inspired me to do more. Stay safe, man

Easily one of the best self improvement videos Ive seen. Truly helped to remind me of the core aspects of self improvement and the mindset to keep pushing through challenges to reach a better future. Thank you Hamza. "Everything is getting easier, but life feels harder" - Hamza
This might be a little dramatic but discovering your channel has really changed my life. I’ve always felt like I had a lot of untapped potential but never did much with it. You helped me realize as men we all hit this brick wall due to all these distractions (social media, games, etc). As a person who loves deep conversation I really appreciate the stripped back vibe of this channel, keep on doing what you do!
I think that another big problem besides comfort is boredom. Boredom is often "defeated" through social media and video games and with comfort you find yourself even more bored than before.
This is such a deep video. The essence in the life of man only lies in delaying gratification. Its a sense of responsibility for you and your loved ones. You want to achieve a lot but the reward comes at the cost of the COMFORT you can experience right now. Thank you Hamza, because of you, Andrew Tate and Jordan Peterson I have been into self improvement for more than 3 months and I feel great. I am 17 btw and I am studying for a very reputed exam in India to get into a very reputed University called IIT. Don't confuse these with the normal Uni, these are institutes that Google and Twitter hire from. Not that I want the job, its more like the Tag of IIT is far more important as it takes more than 2 years of dedicated hard work to really achieve something. And because of you I am going to fucking crack this exam. And its in 6 days soooo... Wish me luck. Thank you everyone
@@advikasija8435 Today was the exam and it went good. Thanks bro I am grateful for all the wishes I got from everywhere. This community has been a huge part of my success. After journalling and meditating for more than 4 months, I can confirm that working for your future self is always the better choice. Don't cash out today
I know exactly what you mean. Thank you for this explanation. Been struggling with this a lot, it is everywhere and anything. If you look at brushing your teeth. If you going to work for a car or house. If you want your own food garden. If you want to work good, and not look at youtube everytime. And most important of all. If you sacrifice yourself for your creator (The Almighty God) in this life, in the way of gaining good deeds to get the biggest plesure in the afterlife. Nice video dude, keep uploading. Al least you make much more helpful/motivating videos than me ;). Keep going.
I’ve been going to the gym consistently for the last two weeks and yesterday I ended up indulging in desserts and today I didn’t want to go to the gym but after watching this video you have remotivated me to stay of track. Now I’m going to the gym thank you 🙏🏻
I’m so grateful this video showed up in my feed. I’ve been contemplating my desire for comfort and feel like this video came in response to those reflections
This channel is amazing. I love the deep dives and the more chill vibe here. Feels like we could be having this conversation over a good coffee after a solid gym session I like your quote. I also heard "inaction is a slow death", which really vibes with me Looking forward to the next deep dive, feels good to be in the first 100 subs on this channel
im much older at 28 than most of the community so appreciate this more than anything else you do, and trying to be subjective and ask pointed questions to reveal more about ourselves and essentially better self knowledge/purpose/meaning behind what we do and why. id love for you to focus more on purpose as i think most people lack action because they dont have an underlying purpose or structure that fulfils them. its lke jordan peterson covers this but why should i excercise, why should eat good, why should i make x amount of money, why should i work hard, why should not entertain myself with films games, why should i not live a hedonistic life etc etc you get the picture.

@@strengthandlove_ bro.. i just wrote an essay and it never went through :( long story short: my goal is to get out of debt 100% and continue my fitness goals (i already reached my fitness goals 2021 so just continuing what i learned and bring it to the coming year). i used to be in sales but did a career pivot and spent the whole year last year in nursing school. just graduated a couple of months ago and take my board exam next week so please send those good vibes over! what about you?
I constantly look for podcasts I can listen to while I clean or drive. Still to this day I don't like any, but I just clicked on this and just listened.. I love it. Thank you so much for this. Its exactly what I needed all this time.
These kind of videos from you are a reason I seek discomfort voluntarily too. I wake up and go for Fajr in freezing cold. I fast the day I give in to the urges and fap, as a repentance. I sometimes volunatrily sleep on the floor, even having a comfy bed. I have started working out, and going on runs. May Allah grant you total hidayah bro, and the death of a true believer. Aameen
Brooooo I'm loving what Hamza's doing with this channel! Going back to the old style of videos but with more experience and reflection makes this a gold mine for young men. Thank you for everything you've done and continue to do for us Hamza; you truly have a heart of gold ❤
The quitting zone you're talking about is almost word for word on point with an idea James Clear introduced in his book Atomic Habits. He calls it "the valley of disappointment". Because all habits in life compound exponentially, as long as you keep going, your results just skyrocket. But at the beginning, you're putting in a lot of effort without seeing any results and that's where most people quit. If you haven't already read Atomic Habits, I feel like you'd resonate with it deeply! EDIT: Just fell down a Hamza rabbit hole. Yeah, you've read it haha. You're incredibly well read. I aspire greatly to be the kind of man you are
Echoing everything here, these videos have the same long-form view I loved from your main channel, but with the maturity and growth that has come from all of your work. So grateful to be here and re-learning, that I need to do the hard work, ESPECIALLY when I don't want to.
13:29 so damn true, i’d say that’s why the saying “hard times make strong men, strong men make good times, good times make weak men” is also true. you don’t have good technology and comfort in bad times, so you are forced to become a better man. PS. so grateful you made this channel, was starting to not wanna watch the main channel ngl, THIS content is what i love from you hamza
Bro, your videos helped me alot. I am still 14 but i am trying my best to help my future self. I've finished my first nofap month (hard mode) now, training calisthenics and some exercises with a dumbell that i have. I hope you will stay uploading videos to motivate us.
Beautiful. When you said comfort is the killer of man it reminded me of the saying - soft times create soft men, soft men create hard times, hard times create hard men, hard men create soft times
This guy is the teacher you want in your life. The things he says just makes so much sense that you pause the video and just be silent, pondering over the simple words he said, which we probably knew all the time, but never realised or decided to think deeply about it. Consistency is something that I find hard to achieve in my life (yeah, I'm a Jeffrey), but finding this dude's content had some effect in my life. If I could hold on to this and stay on it regularly, I know that I can be so much better than I am, and probably better than I thought I ever could be. I take notes from his videos and read em often to remind myself of the simple things which have the power to keep me motivated to sacrifice the comforts. Good luck to me on being consistent and good luck on your journey Hamza. Keep growing yourself and this community, make more men in this world of pussies.
Jesus christ Hamza! I seriously love your videos. You know i started gratitude journaling because of you and I actually wrote "Grateful for Hamza" - I honestly am. I did workout for some years on and off. I would eventually drop the gym grind as soon as I felt I was getting enough attention from people around me. But as I've began to dig into many of your videos I am gonna workout 5x a week for a lifetime. So far, I have not missed a single workout, unless of sickness for the past 4 months. Thank you for being you. It truly payed off
Love you dude! I had been falling off the track and I was wonder what had happened to my old self who was disciplined and driven. You reminded me my comfort was killing that guy I had built. You just sent me back in mode.
i feel like this video gave meaning to a lot of the more difficult experiences that i struggled through, while it sucked in the moment, afterwards i was enriched from the experience
Wow hamza this really spoke to me , i just realized im drowning in instant gratifications . Even though i worked hard for my grade in high school and got an honorary degree in college , now that i lead my own way and there is no easy road to follow , i fell in this instant gratification, i watch netflix and play almost everyday , i am afraid to start looking for companies and not wanting to work on making my portfolio which will definitely help in finding jobs….i gusse i took a very long vacation aftre graduation, and this has helped me wake up…. I always knew what this is but u put a name to it and understand myself……thank you i feel like i can do better and try the harder stuff.
Thank you so much for helping in by bad times I had a 21 score on depression and 16 on anxiety After watching your self improvement depression video my condition has started yo improve a little i can feel it I know its a long way and i will not give no matter what,i will make my life worth living So i am very grateful to you Thank you again Have a nice day Adonis
5:46 is so true bro. As soon as I learned about delaying gratification, I had a mental breakdown about my younger self and how much I just did instant gratification even though I didn't know there was such a thing
I feel so grateful for getting to watch this especially because I am about to turn 15 and if I start putting in the work now my future self would be immensely happy and grateful
I don’t understand why you get so much hate. I put myself on this path of self improvement kind of blindly but I know the first initial steps I need to take. I quit vaping and started to exercise and got tf off of social media and that was helping but I didn’t fully understand how much more I truly needed and seeing your videos helped fill in the gaps. Thanks g
I know this video is meant towards men however you really spoke to me. I’m a mom and I know that my love with instant gratification is having direct effects on my daughter I’ve been looking for sign and this is it. Thanks bro
Aye bro i got some ideas that you just brought to me, and i can totally relate to this video it's shocking and truthful because your comfort zone will kill your success. Your comfort zone will set you up for failure, and if you let dominate your state of mind, you're going to have so much regret, and just become a person that you told yourself you would hate to become. I love you guys and I appreciate you Hamza for not quitting RUclips fam and bringing this video into light for us and sharing your experiences, much love and man one day who knows but we can set up a reality show or something about this who know lol. But thank you so much for this and much love for you all!
I needed this. I have 48 hours of discomfort on my plate, and I keep finding excuses and seeking gratification. Then your video appears in my recommendations, and now I think this is fate. I need to get this done for my future self. Thank you.
These vids are giving me 1st man vibes. Discussions that are unfiltered and authentic. So glad I read your vid description in one of ur main channel vids.
Hamza, this is really the valuable content I needed from you, and still need in fact. You got me into the gym consistently for 3 months last march. You got me to seek discomfort by moving out (temporarily). I had this burning desire to find a girlfriend, so I decided moving out was the best move. I now live away from home, and have honestly not been making any progress whatsoever on self improvement. I turned to your current videos for help, but they cannot help me. You seem much less accessible and relatable than back then, a year ago. I remember listening to all of your long-form unedited videos during work driving around. You inspired me, and researching this video made me remember how inspirational you used to be for me. You've somehow lost that in the past half year. Nevertheless, I want to thank you for all you've done for me (us). I hope you can somehow return to the immense value you provided in this era of videos.
This advice is good for both Men and Women, boys and girls. I agree with him and Im so glad I learned about delaying gratification. I can't understand how I wasn't even aware of something so simple, Thank you! ...But I will forever watch youtube and Netflix on my relax days.
Feels good when you look back 1 year ago and realize how much you improved as a person. If I improved 1% better everyday last year, this year I’m working on becoming 2% better everyday for this year. I’m touching 100k this year. My mind is set.
Was about to pour myself a bowl of lucky charms. Opened RUclips and this is the first thing I see. I've been regretting my sugar consumption as I am training at a high level and it hinders recovery, so thank you Hamza for being a presence in these little but harmful decisions.
Hamza, I just want to let you know that your videos have really inspired me in so many ways. I’ve been watching you for the past year or so and honestly everything that you talk about is so relatable. Because, I also grew up being a very weak person and I am just now stepping into my strength and it is hard as fuck! But I feel so freaking good about myself when I do the things that are hard. Because I understand that not everyone can do that and it makes me feel so much more confident in myself to be able to go after the things that I truly want in life. Just know that you are doing an amazing thing for our young people. Thank you so much for everything that you do.
while watching the video and hearing it in the background, You said something about that the start of like going to the gym and there's no instant gratification of like instant muscle, you're not going to get the rewarded on the first day. I have a different kind of thought. You actually DO get rewarded, but in like SUPER small amount like 0.01% of the reward you want. If you go to train everyday your muscles get stronger and bigger by 0.01%. You are now 0.01% closer to be that one buff guy you dream of.
to all the girl viewers: THIS applies to us too!! wake up early. be consistent with the gym. stop taking the easy way out. like he said, “look at discomfort as an opportunity” it should be exciting!! you’re taking the next steps to becoming ur best self! anyways, great video definitely shifted my perspective.

Easily one of the best self improvement videos Ive seen. Truly helped to remind me of the core aspects of self improvement and the mindset to keep pushing through challenges to reach a better future. Thank you Hamza. "Everything is getting easier, but life feels harder" - Hamza
HAMZA, I LOVE THIS CHANNEL SO MUCH! These videos have the same vibe as your old ones.
Keep it up! You changed a lot.
Yeah his old videos are actually the best

"EVERYTHING FEELS EASIER BUT LIFE IS GETTING HARDER"
Holy shit dude...
This might be a little dramatic but discovering your channel has really changed my life. I’ve always felt like I had a lot of untapped potential but never did much with it. You helped me realize as men we all hit this brick wall due to all these distractions (social media, games, etc). As a person who loves deep conversation I really appreciate the stripped back vibe of this channel, keep on doing what you do!
These have always been my favorite Hamza videos since 2 years ago
I think that another big problem besides comfort is boredom. Boredom is often "defeated" through social media and video games and with comfort you find yourself even more bored than before.
True
This is such a deep video. The essence in the life of man only lies in delaying gratification. Its a sense of responsibility for you and your loved ones. You want to achieve a lot but the reward comes at the cost of the COMFORT you can experience right now. Thank you Hamza, because of you, Andrew Tate and Jordan Peterson I have been into self improvement for more than 3 months and I feel great. I am 17 btw and I am studying for a very reputed exam in India to get into a very reputed University called IIT. Don't confuse these with the normal Uni, these are institutes that Google and Twitter hire from. Not that I want the job, its more like the Tag of IIT is far more important as it takes more than 2 years of dedicated hard work to really achieve something. And because of you I am going to fucking crack this exam. And its in 6 days soooo... Wish me luck. Thank you everyone
Wish you luck brother
@@advikasija8435 Today was the exam and it went good. Thanks bro
I am grateful for all the wishes I got from everywhere. This community has been a huge part of my success. After journalling and meditating for more than 4 months, I can confirm that working for your future self is always the better choice. Don't cash out today
I'm going to start preparing for JEE too man, how did it went?
thank you, you've helped more than you think
I know exactly what you mean. Thank you for this explanation. Been struggling with this a lot, it is everywhere and anything. If you look at brushing your teeth. If you going to work for a car or house. If you want your own food garden. If you want to work good, and not look at youtube everytime. And most important of all. If you sacrifice yourself for your creator (The Almighty God) in this life, in the way of gaining good deeds to get the biggest plesure in the afterlife. Nice video dude, keep uploading. Al least you make much more helpful/motivating videos than me ;). Keep going.
Dude this is pure value and you becoming one of the 5 people I’m affected by is improving me so much
i fucking love the way you stop and stare as you think what you are going to say next it almost feels like a conversation
I’ve been going to the gym consistently for the last two weeks and yesterday I ended up indulging in desserts and today I didn’t want to go to the gym but after watching this video you have remotivated me to stay of track. Now I’m going to the gym thank you 🙏🏻
Bro. You just motivated me to study for exams, thank you.
I’m so grateful this video showed up in my feed. I’ve been contemplating my desire for comfort and feel like this video came in response to those reflections
This channel is amazing. I love the deep dives and the more chill vibe here.
Feels like we could be having this conversation over a good coffee after a solid gym session
I like your quote. I also heard "inaction is a slow death", which really vibes with me
Looking forward to the next deep dive, feels good to be in the first 100 subs on this channel
Never watched a video that often this video is just so true
Wow this video was super helpful, really needed this insight, thank you! Embracing discomfort is gonna be my motto for 2022, appreciate this so much!
im much older at 28 than most of the community so appreciate this more than anything else you do, and trying to be subjective and ask pointed questions to reveal more about ourselves and essentially better self knowledge/purpose/meaning behind what we do and why. id love for you to focus more on purpose as i think most people lack action because they dont have an underlying purpose or structure that fulfils them. its lke jordan peterson covers this but why should i excercise, why should eat good, why should i make x amount of money, why should i work hard, why should not entertain myself with films games, why should i not live a hedonistic life etc etc you get the picture.
I’m 28 too and definitely helpful to hear this to set my future up
You guys are young man I’m 25. There’s guys that are 50 and don’t understand this and they don’t have as much time or options or opportunities as you guys. Take it day by day with a long term overview. I have a few book suggestions for you. Learn and practice. I’m learning as much as I can and I’m trying to catch up too. We in this together fellas.

@@ceeb107 true say most people end up working like men use to work in the factories man
@@livingmyjameslifeRN out curiosity since were the same age and everything, what are you doing in 2022 for self improvement? also what sort of work do you do?
@@strengthandlove_ bro.. i just wrote an essay and it never went through :(
long story short: my goal is to get out of debt 100% and continue my fitness goals (i already reached my fitness goals 2021 so just continuing what i learned and bring it to the coming year).
i used to be in sales but did a career pivot and spent the whole year last year in nursing school. just graduated a couple of months ago and take my board exam next week so please send those good vibes over!
what about you?
I constantly look for podcasts I can listen to while I clean or drive. Still to this day I don't like any, but I just clicked on this and just listened.. I love it. Thank you so much for this. Its exactly what I needed all this time.
These kind of videos from you are a reason I seek discomfort voluntarily too. I wake up and go for Fajr in freezing cold. I fast the day I give in to the urges and fap, as a repentance. I sometimes volunatrily sleep on the floor, even having a comfy bed. I have started working out, and going on runs. May Allah grant you total hidayah bro, and the death of a true believer. Aameen
Ameen
Brooooo I'm loving what Hamza's doing with this channel! Going back to the old style of videos but with more experience and reflection makes this a gold mine for young men. Thank you for everything you've done and continue to do for us Hamza; you truly have a heart of gold ❤
comfort breeds weakness, weakness breeds struggle, struggle breeds strength, strength breeds comfort.
I am gratefull for hamza, he's changed my life in a way i couldnt have imagined.
The quitting zone you're talking about is almost word for word on point with an idea James Clear introduced in his book Atomic Habits. He calls it "the valley of disappointment". Because all habits in life compound exponentially, as long as you keep going, your results just skyrocket. But at the beginning, you're putting in a lot of effort without seeing any results and that's where most people quit. If you haven't already read Atomic Habits, I feel like you'd resonate with it deeply!
EDIT: Just fell down a Hamza rabbit hole. Yeah, you've read it haha. You're incredibly well read. I aspire greatly to be the kind of man you are
It’s surreal how what you’re saying is so relatable to me. Keep doing what you’re doing because you’re helping people in ways you could never imagine.
Echoing everything here, these videos have the same long-form view I loved from your main channel, but with the maturity and growth that has come from all of your work. So grateful to be here and re-learning, that I need to do the hard work, ESPECIALLY when I don't want to.
This is geared towards men but this message resonated with me too! Thanks for this
The people who suffer the most are the people who don't suffer on purpose.
I fw this channel more than the main one. Raw. Unfiltered. Straight to it. No memes to please the masses. You’re a fucking legend mate
I will keep moving forward until i destroy all my enemies
Just reading the title alone, without seeing the video first, helped out a lot more than you think. Thank you for this.
13:29 so damn true, i’d say that’s why the saying “hard times make strong men, strong men make good times, good times make weak men” is also true. you don’t have good technology and comfort in bad times, so you are forced to become a better man.
PS. so grateful you made this channel, was starting to not wanna watch the main channel ngl, THIS content is what i love from you hamza
“The sooner you step away from your comfort zone, the sooner you realize it wasn’t comfortable at all.”
I am really glad this video came on my fyp, this is really important
Man I’m not even half way through this and DAMN.. out of all the videos I’ve watched this one is by far the realist and rawest. This is pure gems 💎
Bro, your videos helped me alot. I am still 14 but i am trying my best to help my future self. I've finished my first nofap month (hard mode) now, training calisthenics and some exercises with a dumbell that i have.
I hope you will stay uploading videos to motivate us.
Beautiful.
When you said comfort is the killer of man it reminded me of the saying - soft times create soft men, soft men create hard times, hard times create hard men, hard men create soft times
Hamza really out here changing lives bros content too real
This guy is the teacher you want in your life. The things he says just makes so much sense that you pause the video and just be silent, pondering over the simple words he said, which we probably knew all the time, but never realised or decided to think deeply about it. Consistency is something that I find hard to achieve in my life (yeah, I'm a Jeffrey), but finding this dude's content had some effect in my life. If I could hold on to this and stay on it regularly, I know that I can be so much better than I am, and probably better than I thought I ever could be. I take notes from his videos and read em often to remind myself of the simple things which have the power to keep me motivated to sacrifice the comforts. Good luck to me on being consistent and good luck on your journey Hamza. Keep growing yourself and this community, make more men in this world of pussies.
Jesus christ Hamza! I seriously love your videos. You know i started gratitude journaling because of you and I actually wrote "Grateful for Hamza" - I honestly am. I did workout for some years on and off. I would eventually drop the gym grind as soon as I felt I was getting enough attention from people around me. But as I've began to dig into many of your videos I am gonna workout 5x a week for a lifetime. So far, I have not missed a single workout, unless of sickness for the past 4 months. Thank you for being you. It truly payed off
This channel is even better than your main one. No bullshit, raw content is exactly what we men need.
You're actually changing my life Hamza, thank you so much.
Love the way you speak, very relaxed and calming way you give information- also a girl and really appreciate this 👏 ❤
This channel is like the Hamza before the blow up
So grateful for this channel brother, could definitely sense the main one going more main stream and less helpful for me personally. Keep it up g
Love you dude! I had been falling off the track and I was wonder what had happened to my old self who was disciplined and driven.
You reminded me my comfort was killing that guy I had built. You just sent me back in mode.
same here ,but dont worry we all gonna make it !!
I think youre saving my life fam
i feel like this video gave meaning to a lot of the more difficult experiences that i struggled through, while it sucked in the moment, afterwards i was enriched from the experience
Wow hamza this really spoke to me , i just realized im drowning in instant gratifications . Even though i worked hard for my grade in high school and got an honorary degree in college , now that i lead my own way and there is no easy road to follow , i fell in this instant gratification, i watch netflix and play almost everyday , i am afraid to start looking for companies and not wanting to work on making my portfolio which will definitely help in finding jobs….i gusse i took a very long vacation aftre graduation, and this has helped me wake up…. I always knew what this is but u put a name to it and understand myself……thank you i feel like i can do better and try the harder stuff.
Thank you so much for helping in by bad times
I had a 21 score on depression and 16 on anxiety
After watching your self improvement depression video my condition has started yo improve a little i can feel it
I know its a long way and i will not give no matter what,i will make my life worth living
So i am very grateful to you Thank you again
Have a nice day Adonis
All this Knowledge for free bro I am so grateful to you Hamza
5:46 is so true bro. As soon as I learned about delaying gratification, I had a mental breakdown about my younger self and how much I just did instant gratification even though I didn't know there was such a thing
Discovered this channel yesterday and I’m obsessed! Just hearing this positivity is such a motivation boost for the day
I feel so grateful for getting to watch this especially because I am about to turn 15 and if I start putting in the work now my future self would be immensely happy and grateful
I don’t understand why you get so much hate. I put myself on this path of self improvement kind of blindly but I know the first initial steps I need to take. I quit vaping and started to exercise and got tf off of social media and that was helping but I didn’t fully understand how much more I truly needed and seeing your videos helped fill in the gaps. Thanks g
where the frick does he get hate? He doesn't,people who follow him blindly and listen to EVERYTHING he says are the ones who get hate.
There are some real life changing concepts in these videos, love The work and advice you provide us, Thank You so much 🙌🏻
discipline is freedom
I know this video is meant towards men however you really spoke to me. I’m a mom and I know that my love with instant gratification is having direct effects on my daughter I’ve been looking for sign and this is it. Thanks bro
The pain of discipline >>> The pain of regret.
Thank you Hamza, this is a very insightful video and I will do my best here on out no matter the difficulty.
Aye bro i got some ideas that you just brought to me, and i can totally relate to this video it's shocking and truthful because your comfort zone will kill your success. Your comfort zone will set you up for failure, and if you let dominate your state of mind, you're going to have so much regret, and just become a person that you told yourself you would hate to become. I love you guys and I appreciate you Hamza for not quitting RUclips fam and bringing this video into light for us and sharing your experiences, much love and man one day who knows but we can set up a reality show or something about this who know lol. But thank you so much for this and much love for you all!
I needed this. I have 48 hours of discomfort on my plate, and I keep finding excuses and seeking gratification. Then your video appears in my recommendations, and now I think this is fate. I need to get this done for my future self. Thank you.
These vids are giving me 1st man vibes. Discussions that are unfiltered and authentic. So glad I read your vid description in one of ur main channel vids.
Hamza, this is really the valuable content I needed from you, and still need in fact. You got me into the gym consistently for 3 months last march. You got me to seek discomfort by moving out (temporarily). I had this burning desire to find a girlfriend, so I decided moving out was the best move. I now live away from home, and have honestly not been making any progress whatsoever on self improvement. I turned to your current videos for help, but they cannot help me. You seem much less accessible and relatable than back then, a year ago. I remember listening to all of your long-form unedited videos during work driving around. You inspired me, and researching this video made me remember how inspirational you used to be for me. You've somehow lost that in the past half year. Nevertheless, I want to thank you for all you've done for me (us). I hope you can somehow return to the immense value you provided in this era of videos.
I don’t necessarily agree with everything in this video, but for me, pleaseee keep doing these, I love them
I am so happy that i find this video, knowing that such people with such mentality exist in this generation gave me a sense of relive
This advice is good for both Men and Women, boys and girls. I agree with him and Im so glad I learned about delaying gratification. I can't understand how I wasn't even aware of something so simple, Thank you!
...But I will forever watch youtube and Netflix on my relax days.
Feels good when you look back 1 year ago and realize how much you improved as a person. If I improved 1% better everyday last year, this year I’m working on becoming 2% better everyday for this year. I’m touching 100k this year. My mind is set.
Was about to pour myself a bowl of lucky charms. Opened RUclips and this is the first thing I see. I've been regretting my sugar consumption as I am training at a high level and it hinders recovery, so thank you Hamza for being a presence in these little but harmful decisions.
dude the fact you said my schedule smk weed have good ideas, work, smoke more. SO inspirational
This video changed everything , thanks hamza. Do it for your future self 🙌🏾
Bro when I tell you this came right on time. Thank you and much blessings to you.
Hamza, I just want to let you know that your videos have really inspired me in so many ways. I’ve been watching you for the past year or so and honestly everything that you talk about is so relatable. Because, I also grew up being a very weak person and I am just now stepping into my strength and it is hard as fuck! But I feel so freaking good about myself when I do the things that are hard. Because I understand that not everyone can do that and it makes me feel so much more confident in myself to be able to go after the things that I truly want in life. Just know that you are doing an amazing thing for our young people. Thank you so much for everything that you do.
I love that quote. Comfort is the killer of man.
Hamza you have helped me a lot. My mindset has completely changed ever since I started watching your videos. Thank you man, like truly.
while watching the video and hearing it in the background, You said something about that the start of like going to the gym and there's no instant gratification of like instant muscle, you're not going to get the rewarded on the first day. I have a different kind of thought. You actually DO get rewarded, but in like SUPER small amount like 0.01% of the reward you want. If you go to train everyday your muscles get stronger and bigger by 0.01%. You are now 0.01% closer to be that one buff guy you dream of.
so true and very wise. Watched this while in the gym at 6am this morning 💪🏼
This video has changed my life.
this is the video that every man needs to watch, thanks once again for this.
I like the personal touch on your story @ 4 minutes
