Damn not a lot of people will make videos like this calling out bad habits in fear of alienating whomever is watching. Respect my man. I definitely needed to watch this video. I am very much guilty of a few of these myself.
This was one of the most eye-opening videos I have ever watched I my life. All the time I thought I am working to become my better version,which I actually did for like 15 minutes a day. Buy my bad habits have been pulling me back all this time and I have to be honest with myself. I have been doing things that make me get worse way often then i have been doing things that make me get better. I want to thank you for this video,I was able to learn a lot from it,and especially recognized how to implement it in my day to day life.

This man woke up this morning & decided to speak nothing but Facts😭😆 ( P. S ) Everything u said legit applies to me & I do feel guilty but I promise I'll try to do better so thank you♥️
I used to do a lot of this but my biggest problem is probably relying on motivation. I can’t help that I’ve lost a lot of energy juggling priorities but that’s because I force myself to be on top of my shit. I just never thought to do that with my passion. This video helped me a lot.
Damn! This is the best channel ever made. Wish i saw this instead of reading 50 self help books, just 3 videos in and already made a huge difference in my mindset. Thank you for your hard work.
There’s a reason this has 70k views as of now and not millions like most recommended things… because people don’t want to be told the truth. If you’re here right now, that means that YOU chose to click this video saying that “YOU will not be successful”. 99% of people don’t want to see things that are negative towards them, so they move on, but you, YOU took the punch and accepted the challenge. YOU can be that 1% of the 1%, you just got to realize that THERE IS NO BAR that you should settle for, and you ALWAYS HAVE TO keep pushing yourself to rise to the next one, no matter who around you gives up. Cole, thank you for giving us all a reality check on our lives, it’s about time we show our gen how to survive the bitter harsh environment we call society. Much love for you and your team❤️
Brother im 15 and have failed in school twice i been through the ringer all because of me and i get this video im just now within these past few months am coming out of this funk of a person. This video makes me not want to be who i once was thank you and God bless you and whoever's reading this
How I view success. 1: iam happy 2: everyone around me is happy 3: I have enough food and shelter 4: I have enough benificial knowledge of this world and everything. 5: me making other people happy.
Damn the reason #7 hits home. I always see people succeeding in life despite bad habits and somehow I can be like them too. But turns out I’m just an entitled brat.
We all have our impossibilities, but we must remember that they can be changed into possibilities with a switch of perspective. You have the power of the past, of the present, of the future. Take control.
For me, it did help stepping away from facebook or instagram. Now I only use youtube for info. Just recently I started to change my old destructive habits, and at first it was really difficult. Right now, I believe I am on the right track. Believe it or not, I am trying to change my self for the better with the inspiration from a person who I adored so much but she doesn't even know it. To start my day, exercise really makes me fueled up. I make this person amplify my desire to be successful but I must make my actions based on my self as the core reason. Thanks to the yogic teachings that helped me a lot.
It's time for me to take a break from being an avid youtube video watcher. It has turned into an obsessive habit that is my biggest obstacle, stopping me from making the millions I could make through Godly amounts of hard work. I will not let this video "change" me or "motivate" me, I just want it to be here, as reminder of when I personally got up and fully embraced the pain I must endure to reach my real goals.
this is exactly what im experiencing, i always compare myself to others, i kept consuming but dont apply, i read books of entrepreneurship and self help, i printed a physical copy of vision board of my dreams, i dont take action, i felt like i deserve the success, i wasnt patient, or taking action, taking action is what build wealth, ideas are only unused power of potential, im 15 yrs old, i needed to take action and go through the process
I rarely comment on videos, but this video hit different. I remember having all those issues you described. It was killing me mentally and physically too on some occasions. Then I took action. I talked to that girl I wanted to see, I started going to the gym everyday, I started publishing those videos, and I stepped out of my comfort zone to try new things, and now I’m better off than ever! Now granted, I’m not perfect and I still have a long way to go including staying consistent even if it kills me, but this made me realize how bad of a person I really was, and how I still need to improve if I ever want to be successful. Thank you for the wake up call! Much love ✊
This video hits home. My motivation is at an all time low. I'm expecting myself to learn new things or relearn things super fast and when I get frustrated, I turn to playing video games or binge watching youtube videos. I've also looked online for 'how to get rich fast'. Yeah, that's a bunch of nonsense. I think I've let society shape my mind a bit with how things should just be easy - all the time. It's not reality and trying to push myself out of this rut is a never ending process.
If deep down we know want to be successful people, then we have to develop how productive and how consistent we can be... And the method I am about to suggest is no panacea but something that will help us build consistency. Alright.. So the idea goes as follows: why don't we form a group outside of all of this where we just be there to really affirm the idea of being consistent. Not a motivational group, but rather a check in group where we share about our "productive day". We can each have our goals written for the period of time we want to complete them, then everyday we clock in, clock out, and build our discipline and so on, then once we reach our goals we share our accomplishments(judgement free zone) the concept is, we (all of those who join) are better doing it in a space that makes our goals feel urgent and feel like they need to be attended to. Really it isn't the most clear idea, but I'm willing to do it, not only to help me, but to also see how far we can all go (I want success for all)... If you like the idea please contact my email vanzuydamkian03@gmail.com
I always see that Berserk wallpaper in your videos, you should totally do a video on Berserk. There are definitely many stoic themes in it and the central message is to keep fighting no matter the odds against you. Feel like a lot of people would learn something from it, I know I did.
Idk. The RUclips algorithm would probably hit him hard for that if he uploaded it on this channel. It wouldn't get as many views as his other vids, so then it wouldn't push his next videos due to the last one "performing poorly". Tldr, the algorithm sucks, and he should just make a separate channel for talking about anime
@@ColeHastings well tbh the reason that video wouldn't hit you hard, is because you didn't title it "My thoughts on Berserk" or something of that nature. You masterfully integrated it with your typical unique content. Therefore it doesn't look or feel very different from your usual content. So great job
This used to be me, but I changed my habits/consistency for about a year and I’m just now starting to reap the benefits! It doesn’t happen over night, but good happens do sink in the more effort you give over a long period of time! It is possible!
A lot of people won’t be because they blame their situation on other instead of themselves when you do that your giving someone else control over your life 💯
The 3rd part is exactly my brother. There are parts on each reason that match with me not everything but you didnt go much further than a couple reasons. Great video tough love it!
Honestly, this video low key starts out like a description of what a narcissistic person is like, textbook. I almost thought it was like someone spied on my life and decided to do a story on my mom in the part about being entitled and being self focused to such a degree of "me, me, only me" kind of way of treating people around them. And the get rich quick schemes. But damn, dude, this video definitely was poignant, eye opening and definitely what I needed to hear for my own good since I really identified several of the points you had covered throughout the vid. For anyone out there this is like the holy grail of non-malicious and neutral "tough self reflection to better yourself with by taking a realistic look at yourself and giving yourself the right goals to focus on that you'd refuse to hear from anyone else."
I think that we need to remember to differentiate "complaining" and "critical thinking." We absolutely still need to be able to have objectivity and think about the world we're a part of in order to keep us all on the same page about what's universally stuff that's just "hell no, icky icky gross gross yuck, that's a no for all of humanity for all time." There's still value in comparison to others it's just not anywhere close to mattering to Self value. Even to the worst of irrevocably degenerate and evil of humans don't let comparison actually rule their self worth, it just serves as a catalyst.
I really liked this video. The "you rely on motivation" part was hitting really close and I appreciate you for telling the hurtful, but helping truth. I will try my best to be more consistent, because I think it's the main problem I'm having currently in my life. Thank you for making this I hope that this video will be the eye opener for me.
I'm happy I moved out of most of the traits in this video. Responsibility and trauma is making me think. I blame my childhood trauma for alot of things. Yet the trauma is me. Meaning I blame myself. Now that I know I blame myself I can instead try to take responsibility for it. Thank you for your video. Very enlightening.
I needed this. This last week was that way for me with hours of video games, my urges becoming strong, and procrastinating all due to entitlement and complaining. I feel dumb tbh. I’m not here to beat myself up tho, I’m grateful for this video.
It's impossible for me to get offended by any of this, because I know how true it resonates. But then, I also have come a long way as it is, from who I used to be...it's a process, and anyone on it will understand it doesn't just happen instantly.
I was exactly like this a year ago. I expected to be the star of the world. Beloved all the attention revolves around me. I showed no humility, beloved I was right all the time. When performing to others, my cousin would tell me my pitch needed work and I took that as a threat. With that mindset I was depressed, impatient and just very unattractive to be around. My mental health was trash and used stimulation to get what I wanted. Junk food, movies, porn you know it. Now I’m on self improvement and I’ve been journaling, meditating, improving my social skills and now I’m getting back into music with a crap ton of humility. I make sure I accept everyone’s feedback because now I believe that’s how I get better in doing the things I want to do. I’m proud to say it, I feel very fulfilled, I want to be successful and I know now this stuff takes months, years and even decades to achieve and when you put in the work consistently, you’re putting yourself in the position of wealth. I’m grateful that I’m able to get out of the rabbit hole because now I can put in the work especially when I don’t feel like it ;)
Bro wtf how did you do that 😭😭 it just kept on getting more precise and still true like you literally showed exactly what I was trying to hide to myself, goat
- Delete social media or use less And don’t use it for validation People only show the highlights not the beside the scenes - Think positive everyday kiss yourself and dance and own your insecurities Get comfortable with the uncomfortable - Stop comparing yourself. Be grateful for the little things and there are some people who wish they had what you have - It’s okay if you don’t know what you wanna do with your life. Van Gogh started painting at she 27. Colonel Sanders was rejected 1.009 times before KFC was a success spread love not hate. If you have a strong ego destroy it
Bro this content is so good. I pray that people watch this whole thing and really take it in without taking it personally. People like Cole have your best interest in mind people!
Being autistic, 37, and 7 years single, I've learned the most important lessons about my life. When I see my Unhappily Married parents it convinces me to be happily alone, never had a job in my life, never graduated from high school, but if I'm going to be successful with something in this lifetime of mine, it is acknowledging my self-worth and being happy with myself. Besides how can you see the happiness in others if you don't see the happiness within yourself to begin with?! So give peer pressure, families, friends and Society the middle finger, and go in your own path!
Brutally honest and true! As I watched I could totally see where almost every one of the points hit for me. It also reminded me and a quote from Mark Twain, *"Comparison is the death of joy"* .
@@ColeHastings Did all manga fans see what cole said? About the best manga of all time? Lmao dude is so wack and ignorant. He has no clue about what he is talking about and had a terrible take. Berserk is not the best manga of all time.
@@CDB-iu2ts it was a joke, I have never read any manga. Just watch his “reason 1” again and see the part where he makes fun of the guy who has a different opinion then him.
You're talking about your past self and present me. It was hard to watch but it's a truth I needed to hear. I was already aware of this to some degree but hadn't heard it in such a detailed and compressed way. Well done.
Ryu - The Darkening - HIT ME "Ryu" means that I am HIT ME, Hit Me All The Way, In Any Way, Anyway. HIT ME Always Works., I Do Not Hit. It Hits All By Itself., Everyone And Everything Has This HIT ME Side In It. The Red Bands., HIT ME., The Hits Are A Fact Of Life And The Key To Enlightenment., I Die For It. A Sacrifice For Love., The Way Out Of The Abyss. So we are what hits us and what we suffer from. "The Darkening" symbolizes the opposite of "The Enlightenment". Yet these two opposites are one. Because we are all at the same time darkened and enlightened. But "The Darkening"'s dominant form is the nature of suffering while "The Enlightenment"'s dominant form is the nature of blissfulness. And the all-encompassing being "A" holds the unity of all there is, "The Darkening" and "The Enlightenment". While... "HIT ME, Hit Me All The Way, In Any Way, Anyway. HIT ME Always Works., I Do Not Hit. It Hits All By Itself., Everyone And Everything Has This HIT ME Side In It. The Red Bands., HIT ME., The Hits Are A Fact Of Life And The Key To Enlightenment., I Die For It. A Sacrifice For Love., The Way Out Of The Abyss." can be seen as the relationship with suffering and the hits. The Words I am using as mantra's and affirmations and also the names for the soundtracks I connected these words and their real experiences with: Ryu - The Darkening - HIT ME Ryu - The Darkening - Hit Me All The Way, In Any Way, Anyway. Ryu - The Darkening - HIT ME Always Works. Ryu - The Darkening - I Do Not Hit. It Hits All By Itself. Ryu - The Darkening - Everyone And Everything Has This HIT ME Side In It. Ryu - The Darkening - The Red Bands (The red bands are bands I am holding on, to transfer the verbal or physical hits from someone or something into my hands. For when I cannot use the words in a direct "HIT ME" experience. Those are bands I am wearing around my forehead and my wrists. They help me deal and heal with the hits.) Ryu - The Darkening - HIT ME Ryu - The Darkening - The Hits Are A Fact Of Life And The Key To Enlightenment. Ryu - The Darkening - I Die For It - A Sacrifice For Love (Things I did wrong and the practice of redeeming myself) Ryu - The Darkening - The Way Out Of The Abyss HIT ME This quote from the joker actor Heath Ledger from "The Dark Knight" made an enormous impact on me and inspired me to create a philosophy. It helped me making peace with all of that. Through practices of any kind. I have learned to love my trauma, my illness, my feelings, my thoughts, my conflicts, my life and ultimately my suffering. The hits are a fact of life and the key to enlightenment. A hit affects you, internally or superficially. Everyone and everything has this "HIT ME" side in it. And if you set your life expectation to "HIT ME", it always works and you will never be disappointed that way. Because something always hits you. Even if you don't want to be hit by something, it still hits you. Hence, it still works as a life expectation. It even works when positive things hit you. Like soft raindrops or a soap bubble. Same as joy or bliss. Hit me all the way, in any way, anyway. If you devote yourself to such an idea, you decipher the path to enlightenment. This is a good reason to follow the path of loving our suffering as it brings great benefit to one. From ourselves, when we don't want to be hit and don't want to take in the hits, to the desire to be hit and take in the hits. It always works, regardless of the form. As Bruce Lee said: "Be unconsciously conscious or consciously unconscious". Once one has developed a certain level of this practice, one masters the suffering and becomes truly enlightened. I am quoting Bruce Lee again: "I do not hit. It hits all by itself." The Way Out Of The Abyss Only when we can accept what we want to let go, can we let go of what we want to accept. A peaceful mind is the cure for restlessness. And love is the cure for a broken spirit. Pain is strength in disguise waiting, to be revealed. And It takes a lot of strength to cry. Because when we cry, we open up to the pain that we experience. When all the waves come crashing down on you, there is faith to get you through. Express your belief into reality and believe in it. This is how you get through the waves. We make mistakes, because we are not perfect. And for that fact I am grateful, that I make mistakes. Remember the solution to any problem is the problem itself. It came into existence and it will not leave you. A sacrifice for love, is a sacrifice worth dying for. We don't have to undo what we do wrong in this life. We die for it and thus, sacrifice ourselves for love. So live for the truth and die for the lie. Die for your negative qualities and live for your positive qualities. That is the sacrifice and the salvation of the human spirit. The guilt we feel is that, which enslaves us. Only when we also remember our innocence, are we free at the same time. There is nothing in this universe, that can harm a mad person. Except making the mad person even more insane, through harm. When you are ready to take in all the hits, in order to gain strength from it and at the same time you are ready to pass on all the love out of compassion to others; one will be as strong as a demon and as compassionate as an angel. A demonic angel. A victory is achieved, by resolving the battles within. If you give up fighting yourself and instead start absorbing yourself, you will be invincible. When you change the powers that hold you back, into the powers that hold your back, you will be unstoppable. You are an example of what a human being is capable of. Take in the hits and use them, as fuel for Ascension. The greatest bliss is found when you make peace with your suffering. Because suffering is the root of blissfulness. If you love your suffering, blissfulness arises. And blissfulness is the key, to heaven on earth. If you can defeat yourself, by loving yourself, your fears, your pain and ultimately your suffering; then it will transform you and you will be reborn. In order to overcome suffering, one has to become suffering oneself. Because when you are one with all, you are bound by nothing and therefore free from everything. And through becoming one with suffering you master it. The journey to enlightenment is a process, that involves a lot of suffering. But in the end every moment of suffering will be worth it. Because choosing to suffer consciously is the springboard, to enlightenment. That's how you remember your origin and you begin to embody it. Because where there is suffering, the love spark resides and the fire is kindled where God, or Consciousness enters and spreads out. Become Ryu, the dragon. Become suffering. Be in a relationship with HIT ME from sadness to madness and become HIT ME and the hits yourself. And Ryu, the dragon spreads its wings and rises. Thus he finds the way out of the abyss.b
ouch .in the test way possible. Definitely needed to hear this. some points were way more relatable than others, but overall I saw myself relating to each. Thank you.
This doesn't sound like me too much but it certainly sounds like my little brother who is basically the exact opposite as me. I need to show him this. Thanks Cole!
I’ll admit it, I do some of this stuff sometimes. But I’m back in school and I want to change things. Your videos help me look at reality vs fantasy and I agree with everything you said in the video, thank you cole ❤️
okay. im in disbelief that every single point in this video applies to me, every single one. its like a much needed slap in the face and i couldnt be more gratful for it. i know i need to change, i know how to change. the hardest part is starting and sticking to it.

Damn the reason #7 hits home. I always see people succeeding in life despite bad habits and somehow I can be like them too.
But turns out I’m just an entitled brat.
We all have our impossibilities, but we must remember that they can be changed into possibilities with a switch of perspective.
You have the power of the past, of the present, of the future. Take control.
Ah man, this hit hard.
For me, it did help stepping away from facebook or instagram. Now I only use youtube for info. Just recently I started to change my old destructive habits, and at first it was really difficult. Right now, I believe I am on the right track. Believe it or not, I am trying to change my self for the better with the inspiration from a person who I adored so much but she doesn't even know it. To start my day, exercise really makes me fueled up. I make this person amplify my desire to be successful but I must make my actions based on my self as the core reason. Thanks to the yogic teachings that helped me a lot.
It's time for me to take a break from being an avid youtube video watcher. It has turned into an obsessive habit that is my biggest obstacle, stopping me from making the millions I could make through Godly amounts of hard work. I will not let this video "change" me or "motivate" me, I just want it to be here, as reminder of when I personally got up and fully embraced the pain I must endure to reach my real goals.
this is exactly what im experiencing, i always compare myself to others, i kept consuming but dont apply, i read books of entrepreneurship and self help, i printed a physical copy of vision board of my dreams, i dont take action, i felt like i deserve the success, i wasnt patient, or taking action, taking action is what build wealth, ideas are only unused power of potential, im 15 yrs old, i needed to take action and go through the process
Discipline and consistency, tbh it's a secret that everybody wants to know,
Bro, vocalizing all my inner thoughts right back at me REALLY hits hard and makes all these negative things seem ridiculous.
I Loved the amount of honesty in this video
Glad you liked it
This clip changed my life, I've seen the side of myself that I didn't noitced from this clip. Thank you!!!
I rarely comment on videos, but this video hit different.
I remember having all those issues you described. It was killing me mentally and physically too on some occasions. Then I took action. I talked to that girl I wanted to see, I started going to the gym everyday, I started publishing those videos, and I stepped out of my comfort zone to try new things, and now I’m better off than ever! Now granted, I’m not perfect and I still have a long way to go including staying consistent even if it kills me, but this made me realize how bad of a person I really was, and how I still need to improve if I ever want to be successful. Thank you for the wake up call! Much love ✊
glad youre better off now
yea man your growth is amazing been here since the workout channel this video hit deep.....
This video hits home. My motivation is at an all time low. I'm expecting myself to learn new things or relearn things super fast and when I get frustrated, I turn to playing video games or binge watching youtube videos. I've also looked online for 'how to get rich fast'. Yeah, that's a bunch of nonsense. I think I've let society shape my mind a bit with how things should just be easy - all the time. It's not reality and trying to push myself out of this rut is a never ending process.
Me and u both bro. I have a crazy idea, wanna hear it??
@@kianvanzuydam2959 yea what is it
If deep down we know want to be successful people, then we have to develop how productive and how consistent we can be... And the method I am about to suggest is no panacea but something that will help us build consistency. Alright.. So the idea goes as follows: why don't we form a group outside of all of this where we just be there to really affirm the idea of being consistent. Not a motivational group, but rather a check in group where we share about our "productive day". We can each have our goals written for the period of time we want to complete them, then everyday we clock in, clock out, and build our discipline and so on, then once we reach our goals we share our accomplishments(judgement free zone) the concept is, we (all of those who join) are better doing it in a space that makes our goals feel urgent and feel like they need to be attended to. Really it isn't the most clear idea, but I'm willing to do it, not only to help me, but to also see how far we can all go (I want success for all)... If you like the idea please contact my email vanzuydamkian03@gmail.com
@@kianvanzuydam2959 not a bad idea, you already have the group now?
How you doin now?
success is a long and hard way... and it takes even more to understand that.. so just lets don't give up and eventually we will get there!
I always see that Berserk wallpaper in your videos, you should totally do a video on Berserk. There are definitely many stoic themes in it and the central message is to keep fighting no matter the odds against you. Feel like a lot of people would learn something from it, I know I did.
Idk. The RUclips algorithm would probably hit him hard for that if he uploaded it on this channel. It wouldn't get as many views as his other vids, so then it wouldn't push his next videos due to the last one "performing poorly". Tldr, the algorithm sucks, and he should just make a separate channel for talking about anime
@@Jiggonomics If it was on another channel id still watch it, dont really care where its posted
@@SusLord718 agreed
@@Jiggonomics I made the video anyway. Also, the algorithm doesn't really discriminate based on your last video's performance
@@ColeHastings well tbh the reason that video wouldn't hit you hard, is because you didn't title it "My thoughts on Berserk" or something of that nature. You masterfully integrated it with your typical unique content. Therefore it doesn't look or feel very different from your usual content. So great job
This used to be me, but I changed my habits/consistency for about a year and I’m just now starting to reap the benefits! It doesn’t happen over night, but good happens do sink in the more effort you give over a long period of time! It is possible!
A lot of people won’t be because they blame their situation on other instead of themselves when you do that your giving someone else control over your life 💯
The 3rd part is exactly my brother. There are parts on each reason that match with me not everything but you didnt go much further than a couple reasons. Great video tough love it!
So basically focus on yourself, at the end of the day you are your worst enemy and don´t be a prick
Well yeah, worst enemy and best friend too
Honestly, this video low key starts out like a description of what a narcissistic person is like, textbook. I almost thought it was like someone spied on my life and decided to do a story on my mom in the part about being entitled and being self focused to such a degree of "me, me, only me" kind of way of treating people around them.
And the get rich quick schemes.
But damn, dude, this video definitely was poignant, eye opening and definitely what I needed to hear for my own good since I really identified several of the points you had covered throughout the vid.
For anyone out there this is like the holy grail of non-malicious and neutral "tough self reflection to better yourself with by taking a realistic look at yourself and giving yourself the right goals to focus on that you'd refuse to hear from anyone else."
this video is very good! Chronic discontentment is something I really struggle with. I got rid of all my social media and it really helped.
THIS. Thank you! Thank you for this video!
Never give up on your journey no matter how many times you fail get back up and fight 🤺
I think that we need to remember to differentiate "complaining" and "critical thinking."
We absolutely still need to be able to have objectivity and think about the world we're a part of in order to keep us all on the same page about what's universally stuff that's just "hell no, icky icky gross gross yuck, that's a no for all of humanity for all time."
There's still value in comparison to others it's just not anywhere close to mattering to Self value. Even to the worst of irrevocably degenerate and evil of humans don't let comparison actually rule their self worth, it just serves as a catalyst.
Love to see the acting skills on display cole , vids are getting better each upload 👌🏿🤝
All of this just helped me on my martial arts journey! Ty so much man .
I really liked this video. The "you rely on motivation" part was hitting really close and I appreciate you for telling the hurtful, but helping truth. I will try my best to be more consistent, because I think it's the main problem I'm having currently in my life. Thank you for making this I hope that this video will be the eye opener for me.
“ you don’t believe good things take time”
Shows a manga panel from berserk.
Well said.
wow this video exposed so many aspects of myself (eg entitled and inconsistent, yet somehow expecting change) Thanks Cole.
Wow. Eye opener right here. It was hard to hear but I needed to hear it.
I'm happy I moved out of most of the traits in this video. Responsibility and trauma is making me think. I blame my childhood trauma for alot of things. Yet the trauma is me. Meaning I blame myself. Now that I know I blame myself I can instead try to take responsibility for it. Thank you for your video. Very enlightening.
Its so great that you are owning up everything here... this is your start...all the best
@@whiskeytalks thank you so much for this. All the best to you as well.
@@ryu7408 Thanks man
The video was like seeing the mirror. Some words hit hard. Great job Cole!!!
I needed this. This last week was that way for me with hours of video games, my urges becoming strong, and procrastinating all due to entitlement and complaining. I feel dumb tbh. I’m not here to beat myself up tho, I’m grateful for this video.
Thanks man, your channel opened my eyes.
It's impossible for me to get offended by any of this, because I know how true it resonates. But then, I also have come a long way as it is, from who I used to be...it's a process, and anyone on it will understand it doesn't just happen instantly.
Being in such a better place rn, knowing this used to be me, but now I’m in such a different place. Thank God.
Knowing is not enough, we must apply
Willing is not enough, we must do
-Bruce Lee
We find momentary comfort in knowing we might do something one day, and thats enough to stop us from ever starting.
I was exactly like this a year ago. I expected to be the star of the world. Beloved all the attention revolves around me. I showed no humility, beloved I was right all the time. When performing to others, my cousin would tell me my pitch needed work and I took that as a threat. With that mindset I was depressed, impatient and just very unattractive to be around. My mental health was trash and used stimulation to get what I wanted. Junk food, movies, porn you know it. Now I’m on self improvement and I’ve been journaling, meditating, improving my social skills and now I’m getting back into music with a crap ton of humility. I make sure I accept everyone’s feedback because now I believe that’s how I get better in doing the things I want to do. I’m proud to say it, I feel very fulfilled, I want to be successful and I know now this stuff takes months, years and even decades to achieve and when you put in the work consistently, you’re putting yourself in the position of wealth. I’m grateful that I’m able to get out of the rabbit hole because now I can put in the work especially when I don’t feel like it ;)
Wow I’m surprised I don’t actually have any of these traits. I guess I’m making a good path for myself to be successful 😁
Bro wtf how did you do that 😭😭 it just kept on getting more precise and still true like you literally showed exactly what I was trying to hide to myself, goat
- Delete social media or use less
And don’t use it for validation
People only show the highlights not the beside the scenes
- Think positive everyday kiss yourself and dance and own your insecurities
Get comfortable with the uncomfortable
- Stop comparing yourself. Be grateful for the little things and there are some people who wish they had what you have
- It’s okay if you don’t know what you wanna do with your life. Van Gogh started painting at she 27. Colonel Sanders was rejected 1.009 times before KFC was a success
spread love not hate. If you have a strong ego destroy it
you my man are the one guy in this platform telling us what we need to hear . thank you for the authenticity.
Bro this content is so good. I pray that people watch this whole thing and really take it in without taking it personally. People like Cole have your best interest in mind people!
Your video didn't make me angry or sad, it kind of told me to look out for my inner self
This was the wake-up call that I needed. Thank you Cole.
This is your realest video!
Thank you!
"If you set your goals ridiculously high and it's a failure, you will fail above everyone else's success." ~ James Cameron 💪🏻🚀
If you have goals, make sure you can achieve them
Being autistic, 37, and 7 years single, I've learned the most important lessons about my life. When I see my Unhappily Married parents it convinces me to be happily alone, never had a job in my life, never graduated from high school, but if I'm going to be successful with something in this lifetime of mine, it is acknowledging my self-worth and being happy with myself. Besides how can you see the happiness in others if you don't see the happiness within yourself to begin with?! So give peer pressure, families, friends and Society the middle finger, and go in your own path!
How are you doing
Brutally honest and true! As I watched I could totally see where almost every one of the points hit for me. It also reminded me and a quote from Mark Twain, *"Comparison is the death of joy"* .
COLE, this video is my wake up call. thank you so much
This is so true to heart, glad to know there are other people who are also struggling with the same thing. Let's kill it kings.
Amazing video that really shook me up. Need to work on so much in my life. God bless.
Hey Cole, I caught up to Berserk. This was one hell of a manga. I feel like crying now T-T
Also, let me watch this video :D
Best manga of all time. Glad you read it
@@ColeHastings Yup! Thoroughly loved it!
@@ColeHastings Did all manga fans see what cole said? About the best manga of all time? Lmao dude is so wack and ignorant. He has no clue about what he is talking about and had a terrible take. Berserk is not the best manga of all time.
@@NoOne-sq4et what’s your top 5 manga?
@@CDB-iu2ts it was a joke, I have never read any manga. Just watch his “reason 1” again and see the part where he makes fun of the guy who has a different opinion then him.
You're talking about your past self and present me. It was hard to watch but it's a truth I needed to hear. I was already aware of this to some degree but hadn't heard it in such a detailed and compressed way. Well done.
Ryu - The Darkening - HIT ME
"Ryu" means that I am HIT ME, Hit Me All The Way, In Any Way, Anyway. HIT ME Always Works., I Do Not Hit. It Hits All By Itself., Everyone And Everything Has This HIT ME Side In It. The Red Bands., HIT ME., The Hits Are A Fact Of Life And The Key To Enlightenment., I Die For It. A Sacrifice For Love., The Way Out Of The Abyss.
So we are what hits us and what we suffer from.
"The Darkening" symbolizes the opposite of "The Enlightenment". Yet these two opposites are one. Because we are all at the same time darkened and enlightened. But "The Darkening"'s dominant form is the nature of suffering while "The Enlightenment"'s dominant form is the nature of blissfulness. And the all-encompassing being "A" holds the unity of all there is, "The Darkening" and "The Enlightenment".
While...
"HIT ME, Hit Me All The Way, In Any Way, Anyway. HIT ME Always Works., I Do Not Hit. It Hits All By Itself., Everyone And Everything Has This HIT ME Side In It. The Red Bands., HIT ME., The Hits Are A Fact Of Life And The Key To Enlightenment., I Die For It. A Sacrifice For Love., The Way Out Of The Abyss."
can be seen as the relationship with suffering and the hits.
The Words I am using as mantra's and affirmations and also the names for the soundtracks I connected these words and their real experiences with:
Ryu - The Darkening - HIT ME
Ryu - The Darkening - Hit Me All The Way, In Any Way, Anyway.
Ryu - The Darkening - HIT ME Always Works.
Ryu - The Darkening - I Do Not Hit. It Hits All By Itself.
Ryu - The Darkening - Everyone And Everything Has This HIT ME Side In It.
Ryu - The Darkening - The Red Bands (The red bands are bands I am holding on, to transfer the verbal or physical hits from someone or something into my hands. For when I cannot use the words in a direct "HIT ME" experience. Those are bands I am wearing around my forehead and my wrists. They help me deal and heal with the hits.)
Ryu - The Darkening - HIT ME
Ryu - The Darkening - The Hits Are A Fact Of Life And The Key To Enlightenment.
Ryu - The Darkening - I Die For It - A Sacrifice For Love (Things I did wrong and the practice of redeeming myself)
Ryu - The Darkening - The Way Out Of The Abyss
HIT ME
This quote from the joker actor Heath Ledger from "The Dark Knight" made an enormous impact on me and inspired me to create a philosophy. It helped me making peace with all of that. Through practices of any kind. I have learned to love my trauma, my illness, my feelings, my thoughts, my conflicts, my life and ultimately my suffering. The hits are a fact of life and the key to enlightenment. A hit affects you, internally or superficially. Everyone and everything has this "HIT ME" side in it. And if you set your life expectation to "HIT ME", it always works and you will never be disappointed that way. Because something always hits you. Even if you don't want to be hit by something, it still hits you. Hence, it still works as a life expectation. It even works when positive things hit you. Like soft raindrops or a soap bubble. Same as joy or bliss. Hit me all the way, in any way, anyway. If you devote yourself to such an idea, you decipher the path to enlightenment. This is a good reason to follow the path of loving our suffering as it brings great benefit to one. From ourselves, when we don't want to be hit and don't want to take in the hits, to the desire to be hit and take in the hits. It always works, regardless of the form. As Bruce Lee said: "Be unconsciously conscious or consciously unconscious". Once one has developed a certain level of this practice, one masters the suffering and becomes truly enlightened. I am quoting Bruce Lee again: "I do not hit. It hits all by itself."
The Way Out Of The Abyss
Only when we can accept what we want to let go, can we let go of what we want to accept.
A peaceful mind is the cure for restlessness.
And love is the cure for a broken spirit.
Pain is strength in disguise waiting, to be revealed. And It takes a lot of strength to cry. Because when we cry, we open up to the pain that we experience.
When all the waves come crashing down on you, there is faith to get you through. Express your belief into reality and believe in it. This is how you get through the waves.
We make mistakes, because we are not perfect. And for that fact I am grateful, that I make mistakes.
Remember the solution to any problem is the problem itself. It came into existence and it will not leave you.
A sacrifice for love, is a sacrifice worth dying for. We don't have to undo what we do wrong in this life. We die for it and thus, sacrifice ourselves for love.
So live for the truth and die for the lie. Die for your negative qualities and live for your positive qualities. That is the sacrifice and the salvation of the human spirit.
The guilt we feel is that, which enslaves us. Only when we also remember our innocence, are we free at the same time.
There is nothing in this universe, that can harm a mad person. Except making the mad person even more insane, through harm.
When you are ready to take in all the hits, in order to gain strength from it and at the same time you are ready to pass on all the love out of compassion to others; one will be as strong as a demon and as compassionate as an angel. A demonic angel.
A victory is achieved, by resolving the battles within.
If you give up fighting yourself and instead start absorbing yourself, you will be invincible.
When you change the powers that hold you back, into the powers that hold your back, you will be unstoppable.
You are an example of what a human being is capable of. Take in the hits and use them, as fuel for Ascension.
The greatest bliss is found when you make peace with your suffering. Because suffering is the root of blissfulness. If you love your suffering, blissfulness arises. And blissfulness is the key, to heaven on earth.
If you can defeat yourself, by loving yourself, your fears, your pain and ultimately your suffering; then it will transform you and you will be reborn.
In order to overcome suffering, one has to become suffering oneself.
Because when you are one with all, you are bound by nothing and therefore free from everything.
And through becoming one with suffering you master it.
The journey to enlightenment is a process, that involves a lot of suffering. But in the end every moment of suffering will be worth it. Because choosing to suffer consciously is the springboard, to enlightenment.
That's how you remember your origin and you begin to embody it.
Because where there is suffering, the love spark resides and the fire is kindled where God, or Consciousness enters and spreads out.
Become Ryu, the dragon. Become suffering. Be in a relationship with HIT ME from sadness to madness and become HIT ME and the hits yourself. And Ryu, the dragon spreads its wings and rises. Thus he finds the way out of the abyss.b
you evolved sooo much!!!! Your videos became brilliant, I swear
This one is really good, Cole✌🏼 I like how you've brought someone else into the video, which adds to it.
ouch .in the test way possible. Definitely needed to hear this. some points were way more relatable than others, but overall I saw myself relating to each. Thank you.
This doesn't sound like me too much but it certainly sounds like my little brother who is basically the exact opposite as me. I need to show him this. Thanks Cole!
This has got to be my new favorite channel
Big props to the guy who gets roasted every time you do a little skit😂 I hope homie is doing well after all that lol
