Making your life even 5% better is still an improvement
Exponential growth baby
Yep, GAINS GAINS GAINS
Im aiming for 0.1% cause i wanna leave some for the others...im generous like that. And i mean i have some plans to aim for that..im not actually doing it yet..
vague plans by the way, nothing concrete.
There's so much filler motivation about exercise and fitness today but something that's forever blown my mind is the BDNF factor in daily ritualistic workouts. Brain derived neurotropic factor, a phenomenon of deep optimization and repair in our overall wellbeing, the best of the best, and it's triggered best by more bodily motion in our days. Essentially when in doubt, move about - when in decline, motion over mind. From here, the journaling, the meditation, the scratching surface of daily personal structure habits that have at-least some level of passion to them as well. When there's deep focus and learning something that makes us not just feel good but great most of the time, that's pretty suspect of a passion, there's something obsessive about a passion that also involves personal expression from the heart or soul, feels more real than the rest. Today we have such an observer world with great mediocrity in the expression mediums (TikTok) but really honing something deep that requires months and perhaps years of gradual growth and engagement is certainly going to tap into some life legacy, a long-term ingredient for wellbeing done more personal. A lot of it takes faith in exploring the motions of the passions too - there will be a lot of fog but it slowly clears as we engage gradually over lengthy periods of time.
5% is alot, top athletes will cheat to gain a 1% advantage imagine 5%? 5% here and there will add up its definitely the right way to look at it
Robert Greene is a soft spoken gangster. This guy changed my life.
4 years ago I stop listening to people and started betting on myself. Maybe because my lineage did not come with proper mentoring but I am glad I am here now.
I’m going to do this too. I keep realizing more and more as each day goes on that no one has ever known what is meant for me. In fact they’ve usually been wrong
I hope that doesn’t mean you took up a career of gambling lol
Remember who you were before all the things happened to you. Find out who little you was. At 8,9,10. Whenever the world crushed you, go back to just before that happened and ask them what they wanted. And what made them happy. And chase what they tell you. I promise you'll find happiness.
What if you were crushed before that? And you don’t remember an “original” version of you?
@liyzette i understand your problem. I had an abusive childhood and my C-PTSD just blocks it out. As far as I'm concerned my life began at 12. Everything before is a hazy dream.
But I think there are still moments/times you can think back on to get to such a state. It can be when you were older. It doesn't have to be early childhood
Regular reflection through journaling not only clarifies our deepest passions but also fuels the courage needed to pivot towards a life that truly reflects our unique aspirations and values.
Well put🫡👌🏽
We lost who we were when society turned us into thinkers, then into overthinkers, instead of the KNOWERS we all KNOW we are.
epicly said bro
My father always said “every advice is bad advice” and when you get older and older you realise the only person you should be listening is yourself.
I’d say most advice is bad advice. However, you should seek advice from people who live the life you desire to live.
This is the best!!!
Gorgeous, love it 😊 I had a “as soon as you think you know everything, you’ll never learn anything.” That was my message to my kids
Unless you lie to yourself.
Thats how you end up dumb, he most likely raised a terrible kid.
TL;DR: How to get unstuck: (from paycheck to paycheck / unfulfilling life)
1. Think about what excited you when we’re young
2. Start moving in that direction
3. Think about what you need to learn/know to move in that direction and learn that nights & weekends
4. Think about what part time entry-level job or side hustle/project would move you in that direction. Research it and start doing it nights and/or weekends (side hustle)
5. Do this until you can go full time in that direction.
6. Don’t forget to save money as always. Worst case, you fall back on the shitty job and try again.
Love this! Thank you
thanks man!
Very well said!
Gang gang Friday be good to yourself fam
And to you too brother

Many people find themselves at 50. It is not ideal, but it is quite remarkable because the years of life and work experience can fuel the way forward.
Yes. It can be any age.
“Nothing changes, if nothing changes “
-Theo Von.
Currently in the middle of this now brother Von. Thank you for this video. It helped me to trust my moves towards my ultimate purpose. That example you gave is what happened to me. I was 21 when my son was born. Had to grow up quick and learned a lot from mistakes. My son now is 13. I’m 34 and I’m starting to feel the universe opening up for me again. 🙌🏼
It's great advice. In my 20s I was stuck in a job that I hated and could imagine doing for another day much less 30 more years. I had gotten myself in trouble with the law. I had a mortgage that I needed to pay which restricted how many risks I could take. eventually I made a plan, got accepted into grad school in a field that excited me. I sold my house, got a part time job and went to grad school. I was exhilarated by the fact that I had changed my path and used this energy to power through the two years of working and studying. Then I got the dream job overseas that I wanted and found the woman I had been looking for. All this to say, yes, it can be scary but you can find your path.
I wish I would’ve found something when I was in my early 20’s, but I wasted my youth playing video games and now I’m 41.
41 is still relatively young
5:24 boom, there we go. I can wholly agree on this - it's part of the deep fascination with nostalgia at times because of a deeper passion we have in our earlier years and it can be engaged in the present with our current skills now, hone the existing and new skills in the passion direction. Any new skills that we aspire and have had that burning fanatical desire for but just felt afraid, explore em - technical, creative - expressive of something we wanted to be, never too late, we're alive and thrive from doing the bold route.
Robert Greene and Jordan Peterson are monumentally positive influences for me as a young man.
Robert Greene is my Hero!!!
I’ve been on my Robert Greene content lately. Books and CZcams mostly. Great to see that this collab came up because Theo always makes the video one of a kind, and asks a lot of great questions.
Thank you Theo for bring this guest on! I really needed to hear this
Theos point on responsibility really touched with me, no space/time to do anything
These interviews are my fav.
This made me lose hope at 49, but created a viciousness to encourage people like myself, late to the game, to show we still can
I've never liked this guy. There's something about him. Not Theo
@@squakke maybe you are right. But 50 doesn’t make it impossible, just makes it possible in a way if you aren’t 30
You’re not alone bro I am in my 40s too with a Godzilla tail of mistakes and listening to the wrong people. Bet on yourself. Fuck it. Stay ready bro. God is great.
@@VikCalo 🙌🥇🤟
Age is just a number! It's having the right mindset that enables change. Whether you're 30, 40, 50, or 60+. I agree it's easier when you're younger, but to put an age limit tells me he's limiting the human mind and what can be encomplished.
Theo, you're great! Thank you for being such a great guy, role model, and yor authentic self. Not to sure about your guest!
So true. I realised the only thing worse than the fear of being a failure is realising you can change it but you just don't want too because it seems so impossibly hard. I was lost and on loop for a long time lost in what was and what I could not change. Personality type test helped me immensely and led me down this path of actual change not just hoping it... I turned out to be an infp personality type and though I heard people can be mistyped the similarities of thought patterns and strengths and weaknesses was too coincidental for me to ignore. Sometimes we have to be OK with not being OK and realise once we are OK with being in our own presence do we finally realise the power within to affect the world around. 😊😊😊😊
thanks for the new burning desire!
46 years old, I’m fucked
So inspiring Theo von
Thank you.
guide to locking in
I love you Theo ❤️❤️❤️
The noise is all some of us know... even the silence is deafening...
you have to learn to be okay with the silence….. if you continue to distract yourself with the noise; you’ll never know what could’ve been.
i rlly needed that
Great title and topic
Thank you Theo, thank you green ⚡️
AMAZING
I can’t stop staring at Hulk Hogan
I think it's important to produce something...anything...and put it out there to the world. Don't be a perfectionist. Be a try-er. Birdhouses, bracelets, baked goods, books...Photographs, paintings, songs, sculpture....Produce something for someone else...give it away...give, give, give....And wait for the feedback...pay attention to the process...pay attention to how it effects you on all the different levels...When you produce something for others good things happen....put yourself in a position to help good things to happen.
Gang bang guys… happy Friday ❤
This is very useful information, find out what it was you wanted to be when you were young reevaluate how far you are off that original goal.
Lol braiding hair at the beach
If you don’t take the steps to change yourself at a young age, you will grow into a miserable age. Everything will be misery so fix it now.❤❤❤
That’s me right now at 41.
deep .. gang
The question at 4:03 is a fucking good question!!!! ive been asking myself that for years,
I followed my childhood dream straight out of high school and ended up hating it. I don’t recommend pursuing childhood dreams. We grow and mature as we age. Our wants, desires, and knowledge of the world change; so should our dreams. I doubt this guy’s childhood dream was this.
You do you 👌
❤
I’m working at a Safeway deli atm. I’m almost 24 something has to change.
This is perfectly normal, keep grinding you’ll be fine.
"Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you" ~ Matthew 7:7 KJV
Seek The creator accept Jesus as your savior with your heart and lips and God will give you your story
But in order to implement significant change you have to take significant risk. Someone could spend their extra 2 hrs a day, everyday, for years and end up finding no use from that thing. When that happens it’s really demotivating and depressing. Risk evaluation is critical, but sometimes we just get unlucky.
Get whatever job you can. Save as much as you can in bitcoin. Retire early (4-8 years).
Learn hobbies (hunting, cooking, sewing, wood working, pottery) that lead to self sustainability and keep the mind sharp and incorporate play (rock/tree climbing, running, human-powered wheel sports, swimming) that keeps the body strong and flexible.
really, bitcoin? Maybe a little bit, but I wouldn't put all my eggs into that basket
@@imageword5576 oh, absolutely don't buy bitcoin if you haven't done any research!
Yeah maybe this was good advice in 2014
@@JMo-uh5cd My point still stands. Do not buy bitcoin if you clearly haven't spent more than 10 minutes learning about it.
This video is a bit disturbing for anyone around 50 or older, wish he could have given those people a bit of hope
Do you want the truth or for him to lie?
I TOTALLY failed at life,in every aspect. What a huge mistake
Teach others what not to do then.
Until you start the steps of change.
@@LeeMarieHarder at my age?
@@CrazieCraig1 yes
Age is never the issue. Believing in a wasted life is. Own where you are. Do what you can, no matter how small the steps. Don't look for the end result. Measure each day by what you could do well and better than yesterday. If you need to start with hour by hour. Start there.
Danny Elfman is right
I liked cause I like your videos and always wanna see more. I don't think this guy is it though, I'm not sure who hears him, but he doesn't know as much as he thinks
I think you don't know as much as you think, but maybe I don't either.
Always one of these comments out of left field, zero context or reasoning given. What are you even doing with this comment...lame
How to find the one path that is destined to be mine with absolute certainty? How the hell to be sure? Spending 10 years down a rout just to find out that it’s not for me? If I have unlimited resources and infinite time, it might be plausible, but not when you go from 30 to 40 in a blink of an eye!!
6:10
I am 20. im beyond lost I think I wanna do truck driving for a career but do i? I have no fucking clue I don't wanna jump into it and still feel lost I have no fucking clue what to do with myself EVERY DAY
Try doing doordash or other food delivery and see how you like that. It is of course not the same but it has similarities.. being alone in a vehicle, driving around. I think the lack of social interaction and lack of movement is hard for most people. I considered being a trucker but after doing food delivery for a couple years I realized I couldn't do it.
Also, it's ok not to know what you want to do at 20. Being 20 to 30 is about figuring out what you like and what you don't like, and what youre good at, the most important thing is that you try new things, take risks, do things you're afraid of, and reflect.
You may have a dream of doing your own thing and not having a normal job. Working for someone else is just doing things they don't want to do anyway. Everything can be broken down into achievable goals.
Think deeper than that...
Focus on making a living first. You need to make money somehow, and you can learn about yourself no matter what job you take. Build and expand your skillset, because this will open up more opportunities. Don't get comfortable. If things feel too easy, find ways to challenge yourself. I'm saying all of this, because being lost AND broke makes everything WAY harder!
Theo your calling is a hair cut 💇
I completely destroyed my life
How and why? You are not your past bro.
2:35 Slyder - score and neo (the one)
Paul van Dyk - nothing but you
DJ Encore - I see right through to you
Armin van Buuren - sunburn
Foggy - Come into my dreams
Fragma - Man in the moon
SOOO TRUE ..INNERCHILD WILL BRING U TO YOURINNER CHILD THERAPY..bEE gEES MAN..SO STUCK IN THER HEADS LISTEN TO YOUR ROOTS ..CHARKRA..balls /veronica ..Go Theo..Robert I just Love you!..Love Twentysense in maple land xo..Listen to The Robert..ps you both looook marvelous..
I simply cut out this Robert greene fella from my life….Go away
Is this part of Theo's coming to grips with not paying his openers a decent amount?
Lol "openers"
Soundsike doordash drivers complaining about tips. Every first year noob wants pro rates nowadays lol
Sooo disheartening though when he says at 50...probably not.....thats where i am
...
There are a lot of successful people who didn't start until later in life. Look up famous or successful people who did things when they were older.
No point in thinking in thinking out what if I was younger, we all in the same boat here.
Guy talks whack anyway, family, children, the environment, self improvement, studying philosophy becoming a better human, volunteering, living more simply, improving your health these are what fulfilment is like, not retraining at 38 tocone a programmer (which BTW alotbof people despise doing) l.
easy for a retired dude to say
Not easy for anyone out there
He's retired for a reason ya ding dong
@@nickinskeep yeah, his rent wasn't half his income like it is for us gen Z's
@@twizzy8783 sounds like you have a case of the loser mentality.
Theo Need to think more about to pay more his openers, scammer
mumbo jumbo bs
boring!!!!!!!!
Say diminished capacity
RG is a great thinker, it’s just too bad he’s a huge lib.
Really? That’s genuinely surprising to me. It doesn’t bother me but for some reason I figured the guy who wrote 48LP would veer more conservative
He got smart and self reflected and critiques his books now it promotes too much narcissism. And great thinkers are lib.
Every great thinker is a huge lib. Kinda funny how educated people turn out to be liberal and not cult like.
@@stonedmega1 yeah, because proudly self-proclaimed libs aren't cult-like at all..............
Dumbass comment
I’m 34 and still haven’t figured it out…
