    Some notes I took as I listened to video (disclaimer, notes may not be complete). Also realized that a lot of the ideas went over my head until I rewatched video 2nd time and took notes
    To get ahead:
    - sleep regular times, same schedule - improves thinking, mood
    - make your bed
    - just read - books, news, etc
    - take care of your health - you wont be able to do much if you're sick. excercise, eat healthy
    - ewwww soylent
    - have specific goal - spreading your attention is bad, focus on one thing
    - promote yourself! make your hard work known
    - choose to work with good people - be a good person yourself
    - network, build relationships, connect with people in your field who you are likely to help and who will help you back
    - think about how your work positively impacts others, you will find a lot more motivation
    - "ahead" is a mindset, if you apply the above steps its not gonna have instant effect
    - seek out challenges and push yourself
    - most people want to quit
    - failure is inevitable - think of it as opportunity, try things even if they don't work out, you aren't alone, asking for help is good
    - "I'm sorry" - accept your mistakes, take responsibility for mistakes, practice humility, we don't always know everything or make the best decisions
    - getting ahead should be a process, stay present and appreciate the experience

    7:40 If I had the chance to meet Aperture, I’d express how much I appreciate his videos and, in turn, elevate his motivation further. He deserves to be commended for the value he brings into every video he makes. If only he knew how _this_ video felt like a serious wake-up call for me.
    EDIT: In my pursuit of success, improvement, and life fulfillment, may this comment be a reminder for me to never forget to love myself along the way… no matter how things turn out. I am just a work-in-progress and I should still see my worth even when I’m far from what I want to become: a restored and unbroken version of my former and younger successful self…

    The problem with getting ahead is that it is so simple, ironically. People imagine Goggins or Rogan or some other extreme case of the best, and think that is the only way to be the best. So, when they get told to simply be present, forget how you feel in the moment and work for the longer term better and do the little things, it seems too easy.

    Getting ahead and attempting to make history are 2 different ball games. People who can't see the foundation of struggle are debilitating towards the greater good of humanity. People who can see it, learn from it and use it for the greater good will eventually triumph over those who see ploys within struggle and use it for self-interest.

    I've always loved the honesty of this Channel and the Deep topics, but that thumbnail and title doesn't sit right with me. I know it doesn't matter because I'm just a random internet viewer. But so many CZcams channels have gone down the route of clickbait type titles and I just hope you don't lean that direction.
    It's getting harder to find good honest channels out there, and yours is one of the gems.
    There is no getting ahead of anyone else, it's always a personal Journey. And we've seen that the 1% isn't happy merely for being in that 1%. Otherwise they wouldn't push so hard to be recognized. We have people like Elon Musk, the richest man yet completely insecure.
    The truth about success is that it is very subjective. And it's almost always based on your relationships with family and friends. So build good relationships, go out and have fun, enjoy experiences. That is Success. Let the 1% sit in their crap.
    No need to get ahead of anyone because then you're always looking over your shoulder
