HARD PILL TO SWALLOW: Often the things that bring us happiness in the long-run require that we forgo PLEASURE in the short term. Lifting weights can be painful, but the physique afterwards brings us so much happiness that we got there. Working on or at a business tirelessly can be difficult, but when we succeed and get the promotion or the sales it feels incredible. Be wary of pleasure as it does not always mean we are on the right path in life. Sometimes, pleasure is exactly what we need to avoid if we are looking to get to the next level of success. Keep going my dudes!
I needed to hear this today. Thank you. I’m 38 and about to go back to college to finish my degree, and I’m starting to get nervous about being the oldest person in the class. But I keep telling myself I’m doing this for my baby daughter and my boyfriend and myself, to better our lives once I’m done in a few semesters (hopefully). My confidence is usually moderate but the more preparation I do for starting classes the more I’m thinking and worrying about how others will look at me. And it’s like, why do I fckn care so much. But I’m human, and I DO care what others think, no matter how much I try to say otherwise. I don’t think there’s a single person on this earth, even the most detached person, who truly doesn’t care at all what others think of them. But anyways yeah thanks for your comment. This stranger feels better after reading it. ❤ I hope you have a wonderful day!
What does the word "Purpose" in this context mean to you though? Does it simply mean to find a job or career you like? Because when I watch videos like this all anybody is ever talking about are Jobs. To me jobs are not the pupose of life but society tells you all that matters is work.
"Make your hobby your job and you will never have to work again". I remember my mum saying this to me when I was 5 years old. Since then I've been trying to find my purpose. Doing something that triggers your flow state is super important. It shows you that what you are working on is right for you.
That is a complete lie. Your purpose is really just the thing you’re willing to eat shit for. There’s plenty of days where working on my RUclips is more difficult than others. And it feels like work. But it’s worth it
@@ColeHastingstrue, just because you love to do something doesn’t make it any easier to do. There are days when you wanna give up, but then I’m reminded why I love working my job. I get to make people happy even if momentary, and that feeling, knowing I made someone’s day a little better, is well worth the work🙂. So whenever I feel the stress and pressures of my work, I’m reminded of that and keep going even when it’s hard. That’s why I like keeping the little thank you notes I get from my clients, it helps to remind me how I helped them and feel that feeling🙂

@@animator02Love is contextual when it comes to work as you have no other choice you have to work. If you could not work and you weren't forced to work because of money, would you? Most people would say no and they would find other hobbies and things they enjoy doing/spend time with people they love. Life could be one big party but instead we're forced to be slaves to corporations. And even if you have your own business all your time will be devoted to that. Is the purpose of life to work? Do you work to live, or do you live to work?
I turned a hobby I loved into work and monetised it. Worst mistake of my life, I absolutely despise it now, after dealing with a lot of clients and their bullshit.
As a copywriter working from home, distractions are everywhere. Trust me, designing your environment to get into that flow state is key. It really makes a difference in focus and getting things done.

@@cosmicabyss7358 work is like 90% of our lives tbh, or like at the very least A LOT lol. So make sure you be focused, also flow is also important for even fun stuff. Also if society or people " tell " you something, think on it yourself, journal it etc, for more understanding.
@@cosmicabyss7358I don’t think jobs or careers are the end goal or purpose in life, but I do think that some sort of “work” can give you a lot of purpose in your life. “Work” meaning projects or goals that you’re working towards, not necessarily a job.
It reminds me of a quote from Pelusa Caligari: "In the end everything is going to be alright and if it's not alright we haven't reached the end". Cheers, cole
You are definitely a needle in a haystack. Your way of description and diction is very impressive. When you described the advice people give without the actual steps following, the frustration between the what and the how, it made me truly connect with the video. In terms of focus and progression, you are the channel I thoroughly enjoy the most. Thank you for the wonderful content that you make, I find myself having a more vivid and brighter imagination after every one of your videos.
Thank you Cole, be on the look out for a series called "loser to king" here soon. I have an idea I am 100% confident about and will unveil it to the world soon, I hope this comment will age well months to years from now. You motivated me to put my all into this self-improvement series of mine and get into that flow state and get it done.
So this explains why I enjoy making RUclips videos so much. I find my flowstate when recording or editing videos, creating thumbnails, and searching for the newest and craziest video game mods I can find. I can sit at my computer for 12 hours straight putting my brain to work and coming up with new ideas, and every second of it is bliss. I ignore my friends calls and stuff because I’m so deep in that state. I love RUclips and it’s all I want to do. I will never give up on it
Hey Cole, I never write comments, but I really want to thank you for all the videos you make and everything you've helped me with unknowingly. You've had a significant impact on my life. Thank you for everything. I hope one day I can meet you, buy you a drink, and give you a hug
Thanks for this! I’ve been doing it for a while now and it feels so good. My routine to get into the flow state is: Before getting into a big coding task in my job I would drink some coffee and listen to some Cello music like Hauser (he’s awesome). After some days doing this my flow state started triggering a lot faster. If someone wants to try I’d recommend putting some music without lyrics, like classical, lo-fi or cello. Hope it helps!
Loved the video. These days it is really difficult to find purpose in something, but the video lucidly puts together some of the most important things there are to live a happy life. I found this incredibly useful. Thank you man
I was in the emergency room a few days ago.On my way over there I cried just by thinking all the time we waste and our life can end at any given time.Uninstall all apps that dont add up to your life and people too.Thank God everyday.
12:53 Thank you Cloe, Really, Thank you so much. It's so hard to find people who give you credit for what you are doing, everyone is just busy with their own lives and problems. But you care about your viewers and say this to us. This means a lot to me
I am so glad I discovered your channel. And I am just really glad that people like you exist in the world. Thank you for taking the time out of your life to help us out with our healing journey ❤
Thank you for not only sharing what you’ve found, but ultimately for pushing through the thicket of today’s confusion to deliver us refined wisdom. God Bless, man
I just 31 a few months ago and was lost and drugged up until about 2 years ago. I kinda fell into meat cutting and kind of got an interest in it and have been working almost 2 years straight without missing days at work. I have a real hard time making plans or goals so I feel happy for where i am today
I’ve felt stuck for a while now and i think doing some visualisation meditations could work for me. Your content is super valuable man we appreciate it 🙌🏻
thank you for the info about how to enter the flow state. i think i always knew it intuitively but to have it verbalized really helps. will try to implement! God bless and thank you!
6:10 I agree with you on the caffeine statement. The problem comes from using too much of it. Over the last month I’ve been in hospital and resting from my operation at home. During that time I haven’t used any pre-workout or fat burners. The last month has seen me being less anxious. I still have one or two small black coffees. But outside of that I don’t use any form of stimulants. Keep in mind that this is a habit I’ve had for 17years. That time I spent in hospital really changed my perspective.
I spoke to my counsellor earlier yesterday and she told me something slightly profound. Something on the lines of, “you know, you do have all the answers. It’s the lack of your trust you struggle with. Trust yourself better.”
Bunch of mumbo jumbo BS. What she means is life is hard work and you have no choice but to work hard or you'll have nothing. So sink or swim. I disagree with this we shouldn't be forced to work like slaves for corporations that don't care about us. But this is the world we live in we're modern day slaves.
@@cosmicabyss7358 that’s your emotional reaction to the current state of things. Life wasn’t easy for anyone, ever. Yet we owe it to ourselves to find peace in the things we do and demand the things we deserve. Trusting ourselves to make decisions in that regard is the first step. I’m guessing you faced quite a few betrayals in personal relationships and one of your parents (or both?) didn’t validate your feelings enough while growing up. Just taking a guess. Hope you’re finding the zeal in everyday life though!
Hey Cole! I appreciate on how you differentiate from other content creators you really do include a lot of psychology which is dope. Keep it up I always learn something from you.
My entire work day is a buffering period where I feel agitation. Work has always felt like an obligation despite trying different fields. The cognitive dissonance makes it difficult to accept pursuing flow states.
Cole thank you yet again, your videos are super inspiring and you provide such an important service to our community with the work you put in and the messages you conceive. Peace & positivity
This video couldn’t have come at a better time and I mean it because school is giving tons of work which makes it hard to do what I love. I’m constantly worried about the work I have and that prevents me from going into flow state. I still live with my parents too and help them around the house time to time.
Cole dear I don’t think caffeine cause anxiety 😊so keep having it add cinnamon I like to do it soon with my Nescafé I don’t drink coffee when I get headaches though
Your life is just today repeated - damn that though. It just hit home so hard and just at the right time in my life. Thanks a lot for the great content
Good video, it only further encourages me to work harder. I wonder though if anyone has tips on healthy things to listen to in early mornings. I have sleep issues that make waking up really rough. While i dont let it bring me down, It still doesn't make it easier to start the day without something to push me like this video.
Im so glad I discovered your channel. Your content is actually very interesting and provides information to apply to my own life. Thank you, Cole! Love from Amsterdam
Yeah brother I agree. I actually get a lot of inspo for my stuff from Cole. What do you like most about his channel? (doing some research for my own growing audience)
Great content! Thank you for making this video, this is one of those videos that I needed to watch and one of the most important things I needed to hear. Keep up the fantastic work!👋❤
Hey Cole, I can’t stop caring about the culture wars and woke. I live in CA near Berkley and we live in a very in your face leftist area. People put up yard signs with their political beliefs, teachers lecture on topics and give us a politically correct answers rather than giving us an opportunity to chat, and I feel like I’m being watched. So I ended up watching all these videos on woke this and woke that. Part of me wants to stop because I know it’s stupid but I think I enjoy being part of a group who feels the same way. I know that trans people just want to live and not be bothered just like all of us but my only image of them is from the bad interactions I had and the internet. I know from reading Marcus Aurelius that this isn’t healthy. My freind is worried about how it’s affecting me. I have a problem. What do I do? How can I know if I’m living right?
From the way you describe this I assume you might be trapped in between political interests. What I mean by this is that you have inputs from conservatives (hence the way you refer to these people as leftists, even though it's not a correlation, and that you feel like being watched-the main bluff of conservatives) but also from democrats (you live in a city where people have on average higher education and thus tend towards policy ideas akin to those put forth by democrats). Unless you find it a mission of your own that of changing people's views, you need to not care because you can't change anything. Your voice, unless you do real effort, will be meaningless in the grand scheme of things, so you just go vote (those who don't vote even if they can deserve no right to complain), and go on about your life with your ideas. You will not be liked by everybody, so not stressing about it by ignoring those that don't help you in getting better (random people saying stuff about you due to your view) don't matter. By my own definition, I too don't matter in your life.
I'm similar to you but I would stress to just keep a certain set of views and stick with them. If you find yourself focusing too much on these very real problems then remind yourself that there isn't much you can do if you're not in politics. This doesn't mean you have to become a leftist but it does mean that you should probably take a chill pill. Keep your conservative views but don't make them a huge part of your life. Just vote, provide input when given an opportunity, and move on. If you find yourself really passionate on this maybe make your voice heard in your community, but that's about it. By simply keeping your views you're already doing something meaningful against political correctness and there's no need to do anything more if it causes you stress. :)
@@smithrockford-dv1nb I just worry about how my kids will deal with the evolving world. I don’t want them to live in an oppressive society where they can’t speak freely. But I guess I should just vote if I care so much
It's hard to find a flow state or make your passion your job when you don't love anything. I've been trying new thing for 36 years and never once found anything that I'm passionate about.
Cole, you may not know me, but I consider you to be my "RUclips best friend". You and Clark Kegley are some of the handful of channels that whenever I see a video pop up, I know that it's going to provide some insight to gently encourage me to continue doing better, and to be okay with myself whenever I am not. The timing of your videos are always impeccable, and you have truly helped me to change my life for the better. Overwhelmed with monumental tasks? Start off with the smallest possible one from there. Seriously though, I wish you the best of luck in life. From the bottom of my heart, thank you!

i have a few different spotify playlists I use when im at work to help me get aggressive and get shit done. One if im feeling kinda down and not as confident in myself. Also have a bad habit of using nicotine pouches only when im at work but not at home.
Might be a tricky topic to bring up, does watching RUclips/any other info media while eating becomes detrimental in a long run? How could we replace this habit with something more useful and should we?
My best advice to people who have problems with addiction is to find better problems to solve. Try applying for a job for the first time and try to move out of your parents house.
HARD PILL TO SWALLOW:
Often the things that bring us happiness in the long-run require that we forgo PLEASURE in the short term.
Lifting weights can be painful, but the physique afterwards brings us so much happiness that we got there. Working on or at a business tirelessly can be difficult, but when we succeed and get the promotion or the sales it feels incredible.
Be wary of pleasure as it does not always mean we are on the right path in life. Sometimes, pleasure is exactly what we need to avoid if we are looking to get to the next level of success.

My entire work day is a buffering period where I feel agitation. Work has always felt like an obligation despite trying different fields. The cognitive dissonance makes it difficult to accept pursuing flow states.
Cole thank you yet again, your videos are super inspiring and you provide such an important service to our community with the work you put in and the messages you conceive. Peace & positivity
This video couldn’t have come at a better time and I mean it because school is giving tons of work which makes it hard to do what I love. I’m constantly worried about the work I have and that prevents me from going into flow state. I still live with my parents too and help them around the house time to time.
Mountain Dew, Mary Jane, and a big shot of test and lets go flow!

Great video bro this was very inspiring ‼️
1:05 NoFap+Cold Showers+Journaling is definitely a winning formula and 3:08 the 5 things to reach In The Zone conditions aka Focus Better
Cole dear I don’t think caffeine cause anxiety 😊so keep having it add cinnamon I like to do it soon with my Nescafé I don’t drink coffee when I get headaches though
Great quality videos
Hey man all of your videos are great, keep going, peace 🌱
i can get in the flow state through reading
Your life is just today repeated - damn that though. It just hit home so hard and just at the right time in my life. Thanks a lot for the great content
1. Flow
2. Depth
Good video, it only further encourages me to work harder. I wonder though if anyone has tips on healthy things to listen to in early mornings. I have sleep issues that make waking up really rough. While i dont let it bring me down, It still doesn't make it easier to start the day without something to push me like this video.
Really inspired by your content love your channel bro ✨️ keep going 🔥
your videos keep popping up in my feed.
I like them, specially this one.
Aaand I hereby announce myself a new subscriber

Im so glad I discovered your channel. Your content is actually very interesting and provides information to apply to my own life. Thank you, Cole! Love from Amsterdam
Your editing is on point congrats Cole fantastic video
How long does it take like this video to be edited?
Thanks, this one took probably about 15-20 hours to edit
ı think you are not like the other self improwment channels like only saying common things. really good
Yeah brother I agree. I actually get a lot of inspo for my stuff from Cole. What do you like most about his channel? (doing some research for my own growing audience)
Great content! Thank you for making this video, this is one of those videos that I needed to watch and one of the most important things I needed to hear. Keep up the fantastic work!👋❤
Hard way = easy Life. Easy way = hard life!
Getting a motorcycle made me happier, danger equals excitement and happiness 😊
Hey Cole,
I can’t stop caring about the culture wars and woke. I live in CA near Berkley and we live in a very in your face leftist area. People put up yard signs with their political beliefs, teachers lecture on topics and give us a politically correct answers rather than giving us an opportunity to chat, and I feel like I’m being watched.
So I ended up watching all these videos on woke this and woke that. Part of me wants to stop because I know it’s stupid but I think I enjoy being part of a group who feels the same way.
I know that trans people just want to live and not be bothered just like all of us but my only image of them is from the bad interactions I had and the internet. I know from reading Marcus Aurelius that this isn’t healthy. My freind is worried about how it’s affecting me.
I have a problem.
What do I do?
How can I know if I’m living right?
From the way you describe this I assume you might be trapped in between political interests. What I mean by this is that you have inputs from conservatives (hence the way you refer to these people as leftists, even though it's not a correlation, and that you feel like being watched-the main bluff of conservatives) but also from democrats (you live in a city where people have on average higher education and thus tend towards policy ideas akin to those put forth by democrats).
Unless you find it a mission of your own that of changing people's views, you need to not care because you can't change anything. Your voice, unless you do real effort, will be meaningless in the grand scheme of things, so you just go vote (those who don't vote even if they can deserve no right to complain), and go on about your life with your ideas. You will not be liked by everybody, so not stressing about it by ignoring those that don't help you in getting better (random people saying stuff about you due to your view) don't matter.
By my own definition, I too don't matter in your life.
I'm similar to you but I would stress to just keep a certain set of views and stick with them. If you find yourself focusing too much on these very real problems then remind yourself that there isn't much you can do if you're not in politics. This doesn't mean you have to become a leftist but it does mean that you should probably take a chill pill. Keep your conservative views but don't make them a huge part of your life. Just vote, provide input when given an opportunity, and move on. If you find yourself really passionate on this maybe make your voice heard in your community, but that's about it. By simply keeping your views you're already doing something meaningful against political correctness and there's no need to do anything more if it causes you stress. :)
@@smithrockford-dv1nb I just worry about how my kids will deal with the evolving world. I don’t want them to live in an oppressive society where they can’t speak freely.
But I guess I should just vote if I care so much
define "woke"
Nice one!
this video really helped me, thx
This man is 🔥
Man your videos are 🔥
It os great content! Thanks🔥
I looove this video aka all your videos. thanks so much
Great video!
This is really helping.. thank you
That was an amazing video.
It's hard to find a flow state or make your passion your job when you don't love anything. I've been trying new thing for 36 years and never once found anything that I'm passionate about.
The way u said that name got me dead 😂....great video as always tho
Cole, you may not know me, but I consider you to be my "RUclips best friend". You and Clark Kegley are some of the handful of channels that whenever I see a video pop up, I know that it's going to provide some insight to gently encourage me to continue doing better, and to be okay with myself whenever I am not. The timing of your videos are always impeccable, and you have truly helped me to change my life for the better. Overwhelmed with monumental tasks? Start off with the smallest possible one from there. Seriously though, I wish you the best of luck in life. From the bottom of my heart, thank you!
Thanks for the kind words brother!
2:51 Bless you.
Wow I was thinking the same thing. I loved this part of the video. Good call Riso!
in the music
The moment, you own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo
You better lose yourself in the music
The moment, you own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo
You better…
His soul's escaping through this hole that is gaping
This world is mine for the taking, make me king
As we move toward a New World Order
A normal life is boring; but superstardom's
Close to post-mortem, it only grows harder
Homie grows hotter, he blows, it's all over
These hoes is all on him, coast-to-coast shows
He's known as the Globetrotter, lonely roads
God only knows, he's grown farther from home, he's no father
He goes home and barely knows his own daughter
But hold your nose, 'cause here goes the cold water
These hoes don't want him no mo', he's cold product
They moved on to the next schmoe who flows
He nose-dove and sold nada, and so the soap opera
Is told, it unfolds, I suppose it's old, partner
But the beat goes on: da da dum da dum da da da da
You better lose yourself in the music
The moment, you own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo
You better lose yourself in the music
The moment, you own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo
You better…
No more games, I'ma change what you call rage
Tear this motherfuckin' roof off like two dogs caged
I was playin' in the beginning, the mood all changed
I've been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage
But I kept rhymin' and stepped right in the next cypher
Best believe somebody's payin' the Pied Piper
All the pain inside amplified by the
Fact that I can't get by with my 9-to-5
And I can't provide the right type of life for my family
'Cause man, these goddamn food stamps don't buy diapers
And there's no movie, there's no Mekhi Phifer, this is my life
And these times are so hard, and it's gettin' even harder
Tryna feed and water my seed, plus teeter-totter
Caught up between bein' a father and a prima donna
Baby mama drama, screamin' on her, too much for me to wanna
Stay in one spot, another day of monotony's
Gotten me to the point I'm like a snail, I've got
To formulate a plot or end up in jail or shot
Success is my only motherfuckin' option, failure's not
Mom, I love you, but this trailer's got
To go; I cannot grow old in Salem's Lot
So here I go, it's my shot: feet, fail me not
This may be the only opportunity that I got
You better lose yourself in the music
The moment, you own it, you better never let it go (go)
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo
You better lose yourself in the music
The moment, you own it, you better never let it go (go)
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo
You better…
You can do anything you set your mind to, man
Why did you change the title of the video:(
And you like berserk. Based.
i have a few different spotify playlists I use when im at work to help me get aggressive and get shit done. One if im feeling kinda down and not as confident in myself. Also have a bad habit of using nicotine pouches only when im at work but not at home.
wait till i have my apple vision pro
I know to work every day for your goals but when do you rest ? Can you use mindless scrolling for resting ?
Yeah I do that personally. But you also need to rest your brain completely by disconnecting entirely every day
We need a lots of vidio from your chanel
Please ❤
You are my friend even if you are far from me
But I feel it .
This video is reveloutionary
Might be a tricky topic to bring up, does watching RUclips/any other info media while eating becomes detrimental in a long run? How could we replace this habit with something more useful and should we?
2:50 I had to replay this a few times
3:05 - It's pronounced "Mee-hai Cheek-sent-mee-hai-ee" , he was a Hungarian person. 😄
Looking for answers I think I find it !
My best advice to people who have problems with addiction is to find better problems to solve. Try applying for a job for the first time and try to move out of your parents house.
Pronouncing Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi sounds exactly like this , just read them as english words: Mi-hi cheek-sent-mi-hi-i
the red pillers default answer to all mens problems- "hit the gym bro!!!" 🤣
2:50 dude had me rolling 😂😂
