Tao Of Seneca Letter 9 - On Philosophy & Friendship Bulldog_Mindset 1 Views • 6 years ago

►Tao Of Seneca Letter 9 - On Philosophy & Friendship ◄

"You desire to know whether Epicurus is right when, in one of his letters, he rebukes those who hold that the wise man is self-sufficient and for that reason does not stand in need of friendships.

This is the objection raised by Epicurus against Stilbo and those who believe that the Supreme Good is a soul which is insensible to feeling.

We are bound to meet with a double meaning if we try to express the Greek term “lack of feeling” summarily, in a single word, rendering it by the Latin word impatientia. For it may be understood in the meaning the opposite to that which we wish it to have.

What we mean to express is, a soul which rejects any sensation of evil; but people will interpret the idea as that of a soul which can endure no evil. Consider, therefore, whether it is not better to say “a soul that cannot be harmed,” or “a soul entirely beyond the realm of suffering.” There is this difference between ourselves and the other school: our ideal wise man feels his troubles, but overcomes them; their wise man does not even feel them.

But we and they alike hold this idea, – that the wise man is self-sufficient. Nevertheless, he desires friends, neighbors, and associates, no matter how much he is sufficient unto himself. And mark how self-sufficient he is; for on occasion he can be content with a part of himself.

If he lose a hand through disease or war, or if some accident puts out one or both of his eyes, he will be satisfied with what is left, taking as much pleasure in his impaired and maimed body as he took when it was sound.

But while he does not pine for these parts if they are missing, he prefers not to lose them. In this sense the wise man is self-sufficient, that he can do without friends, not that he desires to do without them.

When I say “can,” I mean this: he endures the loss of a friend with equanimity.

But he need never lack friends, for it lies in his own control how soon he shall make good a loss. Just as Phidias, if he loses a statue, can straightway carve another, even so, our master in the art of making friendships can fill the place of a friend he has lost.

If you ask how one can make oneself a friend quickly, I will tell you, provided we are agreed that I may pay my debt at once and square the account, so far as this letter is concerned."

What do friends mean to you?

What is the power of real friendship? This is exactly what we are going to address in this letter.

Got laid off and was able to get 3 engineering job offers in 30 days in 2004. All under the high pressure of getting kicked out of the country if I did not get a job in 30 days
Got laid off and was able to get 5 engineering job offers in 30 days again in 2006. All under the high pressure of getting kicked out of the country if I did not get a job in 30 days
Grew in my job to manage Billion $ cellphone projects at a Fortune 500 Company.
Left High Tech industry to start 2000books.com - a business which demands Clear thinking, Super fast learning and Extreme productivity
Read over 1000+ books

On Buying Your First Rental Property, Cap Rates & More! Bulldog_Mindset 1 Views • 6 years ago

► On Buying Your First Rental Property, Cap Rates & More! ◄

Today I decided to partner up with some of my great buddies for this real estate series I'm going to bring to you.

By my side, I have my buddy Many from 2000 Books and Tom from FlipAnythingUSA and they are ready to give you a real estate class you haven't seen before.

If you like my real estate videos and you learn a lot from my investments you have to wait till you meet Tom. Tom has had an amazing success with real estate investments and he is ready to share them with you.

In this video, Tom shares a little bit about his story, what we are going to cover in those videos and what you can expect for future videos.

In today's video, we are going to talk about buying your first rental property and cap rates.

Investing in real estate most likely won't produce the get-rich-quick results as you might've been expecting. However, for those who are willing to do their homework, choosing the right strategy when it comes to buying your first rental property can provide you substantial rewards.

Understanding the market and the nuances that go with it are the key elements into a successful real estate investment path.

Besides that, that are more terms in which you should pay attention to. Cap Rates, for example, are one of them and something we are going to discuss in this video.

"The capitalization rate of an investment can be calculated by dividing the property's net operating income (NOI) by the current market value or acquisition cost of a property - expressed in the following formula:

Capitalization Rate = Net Operating Income / Current Market Value"
(Source: https://www.investopedia.com/t....erms/c/capitalizatio

While this might sound too complicated, Tom is ready to explain everything.

So, are you interested in building a real estate career? Then, watch this video and find out more about buying your first rental property & more!

Mani has really transformed his life by using the power of meditation and now he wants you to do the same.

At the first part of the video, Tom from FlipAnythingUSA talks about renting properties from the perspective of the landlord. What are the best practices for putting your rental properties for rent?

Setting up how much you'll charge is something you need to think upfront if you want to get a steady inflow of money from your tenants. What if the economy does go down? What if your tenants lose their money?

Tao Of Seneca Letter 11 - On The Blush Of Modesty Bulldog_Mindset 2 Views • 6 years ago

► Tao Of Seneca Letter 11 - On The Blush Of Modesty ◄

"Your friend and I have had a conversation. He is a man of ability;
his very first words showed what spirit and understanding he
possesses, and what progress he has already made. He gave me a
foretaste, and he will not fail to answer thereto. For he spoke not
from forethought, but was suddenly caught off his guard. When
he tried to collect himself, he could scarcely banish that hue of
modesty, which is a good sign in a young man; the blush that
spread over his face seemed so to rise from the depths. And I
feel sure that his habit of blushing will stay with him after he has
strengthened his character, stripped off all his faults, and become
wise. For by no wisdom can natural weaknesses of the body be
removed. That which is implanted and inborn can be toned down
by training, but not overcome.

The steadiest speaker, when before the public, often breaks
into a perspiration, as if he had wearied or over-heated himself;
some tremble in the knees when they rise to speak; I know of
some whose teeth chatter, whose tongues falter, whose lips quiver.
Training and experience can never shake off this habit; nature
exerts her own power and through such a weakness makes her
presence known even to the strongest.

I know that the blush, too, is a habit of this sort, spreading
suddenly over the faces of the most dignified men. It is, indeed
Moral Letters to Lucilius more prevalent in youth, because of the warmer blood and the sensitive countenance; nevertheless, both seasoned men and
aged men are affected by it. Some are most dangerous when they
redden, as if they were letting all their sense of shame escape.

Sulla, when the blood mantled his cheeks, was in his fiercest
mood. Pompey had the most sensitive cast of countenance; he
always blushed in the presence of a gathering, and especially at a
public assembly. Fabianus also, I remember, reddened when he
appeared as a witness before the senate; and his embarrassment
became him to a remarkable degree.

Such a habit is not due to mental weakness, but to the novelty of
a situation; an inexperienced person is not necessarily confused,
but is usually affected, because he slips into this habit by natural
tendency of the body. Just as certain men are full-blooded, so
others are of a quick and mobile blood, that rushes to the face
at once."

In this letter, Seneca talks a lot about Blush. He, indeed, has a fixation for blush ha

What does this letter have to teach us? Why this "blush" that Seneca talks about is so important to him?

At this third video, Tom talks about negotiating real estate and property deals.

He talks about how he was able to get INSANE deals by using two techniques: Asking and understanding the numbers and math.

By asking, you would be surprised if you know how many INSANE deals he was able to get simply by asking questions, by getting into homes and offering counter deals for the ones interested.

He also talks about how one time he was able to get an insane deal with a university teacher that didn't understand the numbers... And Tom took advantage of it.

Being Non-Reactive: The Real Success Behind Confidence Bulldog_Mindset 5 Views • 6 years ago

► Being Non-Reactive: The Real Success Behind Confidence ◄

Today I'm going to talk about being non-reactive and how it can deeply affect your life.

Most relationships with people are all about framing. I've talked about framing several times before... Dominant framing is important. And can definitely set the tone for future relationships.

However, there is another very important concept that I came to realize a few months ago which is: being non-reactive in relationships.

In today's video, I'm going to talk about how important being non-reactive means in terms of relationships.

"A great deal of defensiveness stems from the need to be right and frustration over not being able to control. This is why defensiveness is a component of suppressed violence within oneself; it is violent to wish to control others. We only have a defensive response when we are trying to protect some inner-territory or some belief. The earthquake of discomfort you feel moving inside of you when someone insults you is your own insecurity. Defensiveness often has little to do with what another person has said, but rather with your ego. It is only your weak, approval-seeking self that is throwing a tantrum for agreement. Most upset is a fear of rejection."
(Source: http://bryantmcgill.com/20140217211805.html)

So... How being non-reactive can turn your life around in terms of confidence?

Tao Of Seneca Letter 12 - On Old Age Bulldog_Mindset 2 Views • 6 years ago

► Tao Of Seneca Letter 12 - On Old Age◄

"Wherever I turn, I see evidences of my advancing years. I visited
lately my country-place, and protested against the money which
was spent on the tumble-down building. My bailiff maintained
that the flaws were not due to his own carelessness; “he was doing
everything possible, but the house was old.” And this was the
house which grew under my own hands! What has the future
in store for me, if stones of my own age are already crumbling?

I was angry, and I embraced the first opportunity to vent my
spleen in the bailiff ’s presence. “It is clear,” I cried, “that these
plane-trees are neglected; they have no leaves. Their branches are
so gnarled and shrivelled; the boles are so rough and unkempt!
This would not happen, if someone loosened the earth at their
feet, and watered them.” The bailiff swore by my protecting deity
that “he was doing everything possible, and never relaxed his
efforts, but those trees were old.” Between you and me, I had
planted those trees myself, I had seen them in their first leaf.

Then I turned to the door and asked: “Who is that brokendown
dotard? You have done well to place him at the entrance;
for he is outward bound. Where did you get him? What pleasure
did it give you to take up for burial some other man’s dead?” But
the slave said: “Don’t you know me, sir? I am Felicio; you used to
bring me little images. My father was Philositus the steward, and
Moral Letters to Lucilius I am your pet slave.” “The man is clean crazy,” I remarked. “Has my pet slave become a little boy again? But it is quite possible; his teeth are just dropping out.”

I owe it to my country-place that my old age became apparent
whithersoever I turned. Let us cherish and love old age; for it
is full of pleasure if one knows how to use it. Fruits are most
welcome when almost over; youth is most charming at its close;
the last drink delights the toper, the glass which souses him and
puts the finishing touch on his drunkenness."

This is a brilliant letter written by Seneca to his friend Lucilius, tells us a little bit more about old age.

As you can see in the video, I understand part of what Seneca is saying. I'm not young anymore, although I still feel like I'm much younger than when I was 25.

However, in terms of time, I'm gaining wisdom. I start to look at myself and wonder how time has gone so fast.

Have I lived my days like Seneca states in his letter? have I used my time wisely as Seneca stated in his letter?

This letter is all about getting old and this is why this video is a must.

Tao Of Seneca Letter 13 - On Groundless Fears Bulldog_Mindset 4 Views • 6 years ago

► Tao Of Seneca Letter 13 - On Groundless Fears ◄

"For our powers can never inspire in us implicit faith in ourselves except when many difficulties have confronted us on this side and on that, and have occasionally even come to close quarters with us. It is only in this way that the true spirit can be tested, – the spirit that will never consent to come under the jurisdiction of things external to ourselves.

…

There are more things, Lucilius, likely to frighten us than there are to crush us; we suffer more often in imagination than in reality.

…

What I advise you to do is, not to be unhappy before the crisis comes; since it may be that the dangers before which you paled as if they were threatening you, will never come upon you; they certainly have not yet come. Accordingly, some things torment us more than they ought; some torment us before they ought; and some torment us when they ought not to torment us at all. We are in the habit of exaggerating, or imagining, or anticipating, sorrow.

…

The first of these three faults may be postponed for the present, because the subject is under discussion and the case is still in court, so to speak. That which I should call trifling, you will maintain to be most serious; for of course I know that some men laugh while being flogged, and that others wince at a box on the ear. We shall consider later whether these evils derive their power from their own strength, or from our own weakness.

Do me the favour, when men surround you and try to talk you into believing that you are unhappy, to consider not what you hear but what you yourself feel, and to take counsel with your feelings and question yourself independently, because you know your own affairs better than anyone else does.

…we are tormented either by things present, or by things to come, or by both.

…

First of all, consider whether your proofs of future trouble are sure. For it is more often the case that we are troubled by our apprehensions, and that we are mocked by that mocker, rumour, which is wont to settle wars, but much more often settles individuals.

…

For truth has its own definite boundaries, but that which arises from uncertainty is delivered over to guesswork and the irresponsible license of a frightened mind. That is why no fear is so ruinous and so uncontrollable as panic fear. For other fears are groundless, but this fear is witless.

It is likely that some troubles will befall us; but it is not a present fact. How often has the unexpected happened! How often has the expected never come to pass! And even though it is ordained to be, what does it avail to run out to meet your suffering? You will suffer soon enough, when it arrives; so look forward meanwhile to better things. What shall you gain by doing this? Time.

…

Men have been let down softly by a catastrophe. Sometimes the sword has been checked even at the victim’s throat. Men have survived their own executioners. Even bad fortune is fickle. Perhaps it will come, perhaps not; in the meantime it is not. So look forward to better things.

The mind at times fashions for itself false shapes of evil when there are no signs that point to any evil; it twists into the worst construction some word of doubtful meaning; or it fancies some personal grudge to be more serious than it really is, considering not how angry the enemy is, but to what lengths he may go if he is angry. But life is not worth living, and there is no limit to our sorrows, if we indulge our fears to the greatest possible extent; in this matter, let prudence help you, and contemn with a resolute spirit even when it is in plain sight.

…

Accordingly, weigh carefully your hopes as well as your fears, and whenever all the elements are in doubt, decide in your own favour; believe what you prefer.

…

Let another say. “Perhaps the worst will not happen.” You yourself must say. “Well, what if it does happen? Let us see who wins! Perhaps it happens for my best interests; it may be that such a death will shed credit upon my life.”

Hence there is all the more reason why you should increase and beautify the good that is in you."

This letter is all about fears.

In today's video, I'm going to talk about the letter that Seneca wrote to Lucilius about fear.

Sperm Wars (Book Review) Bulldog_Mindset 0 Views • 6 years ago

► Sperm Wars (Book Review) ◄

Today I'm going to review a GREAT book which got me "kind of" gagging about... Well... Sex life.

Here is the book description extracted from Amazon:
"Published to acclaim and controversy a decade ago, Sperm Wars is a revolutionary thesis about sex that turned centuries-old biological assumptions on their head. Evolution has programmed men to conquer and monopolize women while women, without ever knowing they are doing it, seek the best genetic input on offer from potential sexual partners. In this book, best-selling author Robin Baker reveals these new facts of life: ten percent of children are not fathered by their "fathers;" less than one percent of a man's sperm is capable of fertilizing anything (the rest is there to fight off all other men's sperm); "smart" vaginal mucus encourages some sperm but blocks others; and a woman is far more likely to conceive through a casual fling than through sex with her regular partner. It's no wonder that Sperm Wars is a classic of popular science writing that will surprise, entertain and even shock."

Tao Of Seneca Letter 14 - On The Reasons For Withdrawing From The World Bulldog_Mindset 2 Views • 6 years ago

► Tao Of Seneca Letter 14 - On The Reasons For Withdrawing From The World ◄

"I confess that we all have an inborn affection for our body; I confess
that we are entrusted with its guardianship. I do not maintain
that the body is not to be indulged at all; but I maintain that we
must not be slaves to it. He will have many masters who makes
his body his master, who is over-fearful in its behalf, who judges
everything according to the body.

We should conduct ourselves not as if we ought to live for the
body, but as if we could not live without it. Our too great love for
it makes us restless with fears, burdens us with cares, and exposes
us to insults. Virtue is held too cheap by the man who counts his
body too dear. We should cherish the body with the greatest care;
but we should also be prepared, when reason, self-respect, and
duty demand the sacrifice, to deliver it even to the flames.

Let us, however, in so far as we can, avoid discomforts as well
as dangers, and withdraw to safe ground, by thinking continually
how we may repel all objects of fear. If I am not mistaken, there
are three main classes of these: we fear want, we fear sickness, and
we fear the troubles which result from the violence of the stronger.

Picture to yourself under this head the prison, the cross, the
rack, the hook, and the stake which they drive straight through
a man until it protrudes from his throat. Think of human limbs
torn apart by chariots driven in opposite directions, of the terrible
shirt smeared and interwoven with inflammable materials, and of
all the other contrivances devised by cruelty, in addition to those
which I have mentioned!

It is not surprising, then, if our greatest terror is of such a fate;
for it comes in many shapes and its paraphernalia are terrifying.
For just as the torturer accomplishes more in proportion to
the number of instruments which he displays—indeed, the
spectacle overcomes those who would have patiently withstood
the suffering—similarly, of all the agencies which coerce and
master our minds, the most effective are those which can make a
display. Those other troubles are of course not less serious; I mean
hunger, thirst, ulcers of the stomach, and fever that parches our
very bowels. They are, however, secret; they have no bluster and
no heralding; but these, like huge arrays of war, prevail by virtue
of their display and their equipment."

Today we are going to talk about withdrawing from the world.

Seneca wrote this letter to Lucilius to talk about his reasons for withdrawing from the world.

My Appearance on Pluralsight IPO (With Gene Simmons!) Bulldog_Mindset 0 Views • 6 years ago

► My Appearance on Pluralsight IPO (With Gene Simmons!) ◄

For a lot of you guys that regularly watch the channel, I've been connected to Pluralsight basically since the beginning of my programming career.

So, Pluralsight IPO was a wonderful event and I've been there for such an important milestone of their career. I need to say that it was an honor to be invited to such an amazing achievement.

For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, Pluralsight is one of the best (if not the best) programming learning center out there. There are a LOT of courses that will definitely take your programming career to the next level.

"Shares of online learning company Pluralsight began trading on the Nasdaq at an opening price of $20 per share Thursday, roughly 34 percent above the $15 price at which Pluralsight priced shares in its initial public offering. The stock closed at the same price at which it opened.

The arrival of Pluralsight on public markets suggests that public investors are still eager to invest in smaller technology companies."

So... In this video I'll talk more about my experience on Pluralsight IPO, meeting Gene Simmons and more.

Tao Of Seneca Letter 15 - On Brawn & Brains Bulldog_Mindset 2 Views • 6 years ago

► Tao Of Seneca Letter 15 - On Brawn & Brains ◄

The old Romans had a custom which survived even into my lifetime.

They would add to the opening words of a letter: “If you are well, it is well; I also am well.”

Persons like ourselves would do well to say. “If you are studying philosophy, it is well.” For this is just what “being well” means.

Without philosophy the mind is sickly, and the body, too, though it may be very powerful, is strong only as that of a madman or a lunatic is strong.

This, then, is the sort of health you should primarily cultivate; the other kind of health comes second, and will involve little effort, if you wish to be well physically.

It is indeed foolish, my dear Lucilius, and very unsuitable for a cultivated man, to work hard over developing the muscles and broadening the shoulders and strengthening the lungs. For although your heavy feeding produce good results and your sinews grow solid, you can never be a match, either in strength or in weight, for a first-class bull. Besides, by overloading the body with food you strangle the soul and render it less active.

Accordingly, limit the flesh as much as possible, and allow free play to the spirit. Many inconveniences beset those who devote themselves to such pursuits.

In the first place, they have their exercises, at which they must work and waste their life-force and render it less fit to bear a strain or the severer studies.

Second, their keen edge is dulled by heavy eating.

Besides, they must take orders from slaves of the vilest stamp, – men who alternate between the oil-flask and the flagon, whose day passes satisfactorily if they have got up a good perspiration and quaffed, to make good what they have lost in sweat, huge draughts of liquor which will sink deeper because of their fasting.

Drinking and sweating, – it’s the life of a dyspeptic!"

Today I'm going to dissect letter 15, which talks about brawn & brains.

Enforced Monogamy: Dr. Jordan Peterson, Incels & More! Bulldog_Mindset 6 Views • 6 years ago

► Enforced Monogamy: Dr. Jordan Peterson, Incels & More! ◄

Lately, Dr. Jordan Peterson talked about "enforced monogamy" and lots of guys took this advice as if he was trying to defend the "Incel" movement.

"Jordan Peterson, the man who launched himself into lobster-dominance-spouting prominence by melodramatically, energetically, and completely misrepresenting Bill C-16 as the free-speech end times on YouTube and in Senate hearings, is mightily upset that some people may not be parsing his endorsement of “enforced monogamy” in a properly measured and researched manner.

That’s right: this is a man who framed a wee bit of since-passed legislation that extends the same human rights protections already afforded based on sex, race, etc. to transgender Canadians on the federal level—which some provinces had already done years ago—as a nation taking the fast road to the gulag. And he thinks people are being alarmist about his proposed solution to the problem of male violence.

Peterson revealed his views in a dynamite New York Times profile last weekend in which he offered what can only be described as a rationale—or more accurately, support—for an already articulated rationale about the alleged killer who drove a van into a crowd, killing 10, and appears to have posted a grandiose mission statement on Facebook that hailed a previous killer driven by the same ideology. And Peterson made it clear, he gets it."

He said on an interview that we all live in a "enforced monogamy".

What did he mean by that? Was he trying to defend the Incel movement? What is the real meaning behind what he was trying to say?

Tao Of Seneca Letter 16 - On Philosophy, The Guide Of Life Bulldog_Mindset 2 Views • 6 years ago

► Tao Of Seneca Letter 16 - On Philosophy, The Guide Of Life ◄

"It is clear to you, I am sure, Lucilius,

That no man can live a happy life, or even a supportable life, without the study of wisdom.

You know also that a happy life is reached when our wisdom is brought to completion, but that life is at least endurable even when our wisdom is only begun.

This idea, however, clear though it is, must be strengthened and implanted more deeply by daily reflection; it is more important for you to keep the resolutions you have already made than to go on and make noble ones.

You must persevere, must develop new strength by continuous study, until that which is only a good inclination becomes a good settled purpose.

Hence you no longer need to come to me with much talk and protestations; I know that you have made great progress.

I understand the feelings which prompt your words; they are not feigned or specious words.

Nevertheless I shall tell you what I think, – that at present I have hopes for you, but not yet perfect trust. And I wish that you would adopt the same attitude towards yourself.

There is no reason why you should put confidence in yourself too quickly and readily. Examine yourself; scrutinize and observe yourself in divers ways; but mark, before all else, whether it is in philosophy or merely in life itself that you have made progress.

Philosophy is no trick to catch the public; it is not devised for show.

It is a matter, not of words, but of facts.

It is not pursued in order that the day may yield some amusement before it is spent, or that our leisure may be relieved of a tedium that irks us. It moulds and constructs the soul; it orders our life, guides our conduct, shows us what we should do and what we should leave undone; it sits at the helm and directs our course as we waver amid uncertainties.

Without it, no one can live fearlessly or in peace of mind."

What power does philosophy have in our lives? Is it really the force that guides our lives?

Higher Status (Book Review) Bulldog_Mindset 2 Views • 6 years ago

► Higher Status (Book Review) ◄

Today I'm going to review a book that I THOUGHT was going to be pretty interested but end up being kind of flat...

Don't get me wrong. I simply love the author. However, I felt like he failed to deliver when it comes to the more advanced features of what he was proposing to do.

Here is the book description extracted from Amazon:
"The key to winning the game of life isn't money, a prestigious degree, or even keeping up with the Kardashians. The latest science reveals that the key is High Status--the secret sauce that has enabled the world's most successful people to achieve the life of their dreams in no time at all.

When he was twenty-three, Jason Capital woke up one morning with only twenty-three dollars to his name, feeling stuck and overwhelmed. He realized that he wasn't going to win the game of life based on what he learned at school and from his parents. But Capital turned it around in less than a year by applying High Status techniques. He's now the World's #1 Success Trainer, and with the guidance he provides in this invaluable volume, you too can harness this cutting-edge technology, take control of your own destiny, and become a person of power, influence, and remarkable achievement.

In Higher Status, Jason Capital reveals the twelve Honest Signals that make you High Status and how you can apply them in your own life. Whether your ultimate goal is to make millions, find love, or set yourself free, Higher Status is your essential step-by-step guide to becoming the most successful person in the room."

"Cast away everything of that sort, if you are wise.

Nay, rather that you may be wise.

Strive toward a sound mind at top speed and with your whole strength.

If any bond holds you back, untie it, or sever it.

“But,” you say, “my estate delays me; I wish to make such disposition of it that it may suffice for me when I have nothing to do, lest either poverty be a burden to me, or I myself a burden to others.”

You do not seem, when you say this, to know the strength and power of that good which you are considering.

You do indeed grasp the all important thing, the great benefit which philosophy confers, but you do not yet discern accurately its various functions, nor do you yet know how great is the help we receive from philosophy in everything, everywhere, – how, (to use Cicero’s language,) it not only succours us in the greatest matters but also descends to the smallest.

Take my advice; call wisdom into consultation; she will advise you not to sit for ever at your ledger.

Doubtless, your object, what you wish to attain by such postponement of your studies, is that poverty may not have to be feared by you.

But what if it is something to be desired? Riches have shut off many a man from the attainment of wisdom; poverty is unburdened and free from care.

When the trumpet sounds, the poor man knows that he is not being attacked; when there is a cry of “Fire,” he only seeks a way of escape, and does not ask what he can save; if the poor man must go to sea, the harbour does not resound, nor do the wharves bustle with the retinue of one individual.

No throng of slaves surrounds the poor man, – slaves for whose mouths the master must covet the fertile crops of regions beyond the sea.

It is easy to fill a few stomachs, when they are well trained and crave nothing else but to be filled. Hunger costs but little; squeamishness costs much. Poverty is contented with fulfilling pressing needs.

Why, then, should you reject Philosophy as a comrade? Even the rich man copies her ways when he is in his senses.

If you wish to have leisure for your mind, either be a poor man, or resemble a poor man. Study cannot be helpful unless you take pains to live simply; and living simply is voluntary poverty.

Away, then, with all excuses like: “I have not yet enough; when I have gained the desired amount, then I shall devote myself wholly to philosophy.”

This is letter 17. In this letter, Seneca talks about the being rich, what caution you need to take when you handle money and what wisdom comes from... being poor.

Different Opinions & Liberty (Gay Couple Vs. Baker) Bulldog_Mindset 1 Views • 6 years ago

► Different Opinions & Liberty (Gay Couple Vs. Baker) ◄

Today I'm going to talk about a case that happened a while back but I never got the chance to discuss it.

"The Supreme Court on Monday ruled in favor of a Colorado baker who had refused to create a wedding cake for a gay couple. The court’s decision was narrow, and it left open the larger question of whether a business can discriminate against gay men and lesbians based on rights protected by the First Amendment.

The court passed on an opportunity to either bolster the right to same-sex marriage or explain how far the government can go in regulating businesses run on religious principles. Instead, Justice Anthony M. Kennedy’s majority opinion turned on the argument that the Colorado Civil Rights Commission, which originally ruled against the baker, had been shown to be hostile to religion because of the remarks of one of its members.

At the same time, Justice Kennedy strongly reaffirmed protections for gay rights.

“The outcome of cases like this in other circumstances must await further elaboration in the courts,” he wrote, “all in the context of recognizing that these disputes must be resolved with tolerance, without undue disrespect to sincere religious beliefs, and without subjecting gay persons to indignities when they seek goods and services in an open market.”
(Source: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/0....6/04/us/politics/sup

I'll use this video to show you how you should hold different opinions inside you and leave peacefully with them and how liberty can literally make things flow better.

Jordan Peterson - 12 Rules For Life (Book Review) Bulldog_Mindset 1 Views • 6 years ago

► 12 Rules For Life (Book Review) ◄

Today I want to review a book that has been widely recommended to me by I never got a chance to read.

This book was written by the amazing Jordan B. Peterson and, before everything, I must say I REALLY admire him. I really need to get him into the channel.

Anyway, without to further ado, let's get into the book review.

Here is the book description extracted from Amazon:
"What does everyone in the modern world need to know? Renowned psychologist Jordan B. Peterson's answer to this most difficult of questions uniquely combines the hard-won truths of ancient tradition with the stunning revelations of cutting-edge scientific research.

Humorous, surprising and informative, Dr. Peterson tells us why skateboarding boys and girls must be left alone, what terrible fate awaits those who criticize too easily, and why you should always pet a cat when you meet one on the street.
What does the nervous system of the lowly lobster have to tell us about standing up straight (with our shoulders back) and about success in life? Why did ancient Egyptians worship the capacity to pay careful attention as the highest of gods? What dreadful paths do people tread when they become resentful, arrogant and vengeful? Dr. Peterson journeys broadly, discussing discipline, freedom, adventure and responsibility, distilling the world's wisdom into 12 practical and profound rules for life. 12 Rules for Life shatters the modern commonplaces of science, faith and human nature, while transforming and ennobling the mind and spirit of its readers."

Pimp: Story Of My Life (Book Review) Bulldog_Mindset 9 Views • 6 years ago

► Pimp (Book Review) ◄

Today I'm going to review a book that a lot of you guys have been asking me to read, but I never got the chance.

And man! I must say I was surprised.

What an intriguing story. Here is the book description extracted from Amazon:
"“[In Pimp], Iceberg Slim breaks down some of the coldest, capitalist concepts I’ve ever heard in my life.” —Dave Chappelle, from his Netflix special The Bird Revelation

An immersive experience unlike anything before it, Pimp is the classic hustler’s tale that never seems to go out of style.

Iceberg Slim’s autobiographical novel sent shockwaves throughout the literary world when it published in 1969. Groundbreaking for its authentic and oft-brutal account of the sex trade, the book offers readers an unforgettable look at the mores of Chicago’s street life during the 1940s, 50s, and 60s. In the preface, Slim says it best, “In this book, I will take you, the reader, with me into the secret inner world of the pimp.” With millions of copies sold, Pimp has become vital reading across generations of writers, entertainers and filmmakers alike, making it a timeless piece of American literature."

Tao Of Seneca Letter 18 - On Festivals And Fasting Bulldog_Mindset 1 Views • 6 years ago

► Tao Of Seneca Letter 18 - On Festivals And Fasting ◄

It is the month of December, and yet the city is at this very
moment in a sweat. License is given to the general merrymaking.
Everything resounds with mighty preparations—as if the Saturnalia
differed at all from the usual business day! So true it is that
the difference is nil, that I regard as correct the remark of the
man who said: “Once December was a month; now it is a year.”

If I had you with me, I should be glad to consult you and find
out what you think should be done—whether we ought to make
no change in our daily routine, or whether, in order not to be
out of sympathy with the ways of the public, we should dine in
gayer fashion and doff the toga. As it is now, we Romans have
changed our dress for the sake of pleasure and holiday-making,
though in former times that was only customary when the State
was disturbed and had fallen on evil days.

I am sure that, if I know you aright, playing the part of an
umpire you would have wished that we should be neither like the
liberty-capped throng in all ways, nor in all ways unlike them;
unless, perhaps, this is just the season when we ought to lay down
the law to the soul, and bid it be alone in refraining from pleasures
Moral Letters to Lucilius just when the whole mob has let itself go in pleasures; for this is the surest proof which a man can get of his own constancy, if he neither seeks the things which are seductive and allure him to
luxury, nor is led into them.

It shows much more courage to remain dry and sober when
the mob is drunk and vomiting; but it shows greater self-control
to refuse to withdraw oneself and to do what the crowd does, but
in a different way—thus neither making oneself conspicuous nor
becoming one of the crowd. For one may keep holiday without
extravagance.

I am so firmly determined, however, to test the constancy of
your mind that, drawing from the teachings of great men, I shall
give you also a lesson: Set aside a certain number of days, during
which you shall be content with the scantiest and cheapest fare,
with coarse and rough dress, saying to yourself the while: “Is this
the condition that I feared?”

It is precisely in times of immunity from care that the soul
should toughen itself beforehand for occasions of greater stress,
and it is while Fortune is kind that it should fortify itself against
her violence. In days of peace the soldier performs manoeuvres,
throws up earthworks with no enemy in sight, and wearies himself
by gratuitous toil, in order that he may be equal to unavoidable
toil. If you would not have a man flinch when the crisis comes,
train him before it comes. Such is the course which those men
have followed who, in their imitation of poverty, have every
month come almost to want, that they might never recoil from
what they had so often rehearsed."

In this video, I'm going to talk about letter 18 and how festival and fasting relates to our commemorative dates in the society we live today.

What Will You ACHIEVE In 20 YEARS From Now? (Powerful Self Growth Concept) Bulldog_Mindset 1 Views • 6 years ago

What Will You ACHIEVE In 20 YEARS From Now? (Powerful Self Growth Concept)

20 Years from now... 2038. What will you create? What legacy would you leave in the world? This is the question I'm leaving for you to answer.

I'm in LA for these past few days for a high school reunion and this reunion got me thinking about a lot of stuff.

Seeing friends that I haven't seen for 20 years who haven't changed a thing really got me into thinking about life in general. These people haven't changed in 20 years. They haven't improved their lives.

They are still the same people they were 20 years ago.

Of course, some of my friends got to achieve success. But most of them didn't.

And this is exactly what I'm going to talk about in this video. A powerful self-growth concept that will get you thinking.

What will have you achieved in 20 years from now? Will you be successful? Will you have become the best version of yourself?

Or will you remain the same? Watch this video and find out!

The Evolution Of Desire By David Buss (Book Review) Bulldog_Mindset 1 Views • 6 years ago

The Evolution Of Desire (Book Review)

Today I'm going to review a book that has been long time requested by my readers and, well, it does totally relate to the content here on this channel.

The book is called The Evolution Of Desire and my long awaited book review is here.

Here is the book description extracted from Amazon:
"If we all want love, why is there so much conflict in our most cherished relationships? To answer this question we must look into our evolutionary past, argues prominent psychologist David M. Buss. Based one of the largest studies of human mating ever undertaken, encompassing more than 10,000 people of all ages from thirty-seven cultures worldwide, The Evolution of Desire is the first work to present a unified theory of human mating behavior. Drawing on a wide range of examples of mating behavior—from lovebugs to elephant seals, from the Yanomamö tribe of Venezuela to online dating apps—Buss reveals what women want, what men want, and why their desires radically differ. Love has a central place in human sexual psychology, but conflict, competition, and manipulation also pervade human mating—something we must confront in order to control our own mating destiny.

Fully revised and updated to reflect the very latest scientific research on human mating, this classic work of evolutionary psychology explains the powerful forces that shape our most intimate desires."

So, if you're deciding on what you should read or not "The Evolution Of Desire", check out this book review and make up your mind.

Why We Fear Success (And Why It's Holding You Back) Bulldog_Mindset 1 Views • 6 years ago

Why We Fear Success (And Why It's Holding You Back)

Have you ever heard of the fear of success? Most people talk about the fear of failure and how it holds people back in multiple ways.

However, little is said about fear of success. And this concept came up in one comment in one of my videos.

This guy was telling me that he was not afraid of failing, but, actually, succeeding. What if he got the girl's number? What if he actually was able to get that promotion he always wanted?

What now? Would he be able to keep things up?

Fear of success is most common than you think. Yet, we don't always realize it. We don't always keep an eye open for it.

How is fear of success holding you back? Why most people actually develop mot anxiety from success than from actually failing?

In today's video, I'm going to explain in details the fear of success, what you can do to overcome it and how you can transform your fear of success into something that will boost your career and your life.

Tao of Seneca Letter 19 - On Worldliness & Retirement Bulldog_Mindset 2 Views • 6 years ago

Tao of Seneca Letter 19 - On Worldliness & Retirement

Today we are continuing our Tao Of Seneca series, with letter 19 from The Moral Letters To Lucilius.

"I leap for joy whenever I receive letters from you.

For they fill me with hope; they are now not mere assurances concerning you, but guarantees.

And I beg and pray you to proceed in this course; for what better request could I make of a friend than one which is to be made for his own sake?

If possible, withdraw yourself from all the business of which you speak; and if you cannot do this, tear yourself away.

We have dissipated enough of our time already – let us in old age begin to pack up our baggage. Surely there is nothing in this that men can begrudge us. We have spent our lives on the high seas; let us die in harbor.

Not that I would advise you to try to win fame by your retirement; one’s retirement should neither be paraded nor concealed.

Not concealed, I say, for I shall not go so far in urging you as to expect you to condemn all men as mad and then seek out for yourself a hiding-place and oblivion; rather make this your business, that your retirement be not conspicuous, though it should be obvious.

In the second place, while those whose choice is unhampered from the start will deliberate on that other question, whether they wish to pass their lives in obscurity, in your case there is not a free choice. Your ability and energy have thrust you into the work of the world; so have the charm of your writings and the friendships you have made with famous and notable men.

Renown has already taken you by storm. You may sink yourself into the depths of obscurity and utterly hide yourself; yet your earlier acts will reveal you.

You cannot keep lurking in the dark; much of the old gleam will follow you wherever you fly.

Peace you can claim for yourself without being disliked by anyone, without any sense of loss, and without any pangs of spirit. For what will you leave behind you that you can imagine yourself reluctant to leave? Your clients? But none of these men courts you for yourself; they merely court something from you.

People used to hunt friends, but now they hunt pelf; if a lonely old man changes his will, the morning-caller transfers himself to another door.

Great things cannot be bought for small sums; so reckon up whether it is preferable to leave your own true self, or merely some of your belongings.

Would that you had had the privilege of growing old amid the limited circumstances of your origin, and that fortune had not raised you to such heights! You were removed far from the sight of wholesome living by your swift rise to prosperity, by your province, by your position as procurator,[1] and by all that such things promise; you will next acquire more important duties and after them still more. And what will be the result?

Why wait until there is nothing left for you to crave? That time will never come.

We hold that there is a succession of causes, from which fate is woven; similarly, you may be sure, there is a succession in our desires; for one begins where its predecessor ends.

You have been thrust into an existence which will never of itself put an end to your wretchedness and your slavery. Withdraw your chafed neck from the yoke; it is better that it should be cut off once for all, than galled for ever.

If you retreat to privacy, everything will be on a smaller scale, but you will be satisfied abundantly; in your present condition, however, there is no satisfaction in the plenty which is heaped upon you on all sides.

Would you rather be poor and sated, or rich and hungry?

Prosperity is not only greedy, but it also lies exposed to the greed of others. And as long as nothing satisfies you, you yourself cannot satisfy others.

“But,” you say, “how can I take my leave?” Any way you please. Reflect how many hazards you have ventured for the sake of money, and how much toil you have undertaken for a title!

You must dare something to gain leisure, also, – or else grow old amid the worries of procuratorships abroad and subsequently of civil duties at home, living in turmoil and in ever fresh floods of responsibilities, which no man has ever succeeded in avoiding by unobtrusiveness or by seclusion of life.

For what bearing on the case has your personal desire for a secluded life?"

Why BAD CHOICES Made Millionaires Successful Bulldog_Mindset 5 Views • 6 years ago

Why BAD CHOICES Made Millionaires Successful

Often times, we look at bad choices as... Bad choices. Things we could've avoided. Most of the times, we feel guilty about some of those choices and start asking ourselves what would happen if we did things differently.

However, this is not a healthy mindset to have.

Bad choices are not always bad. In fact, bad choices are the real reason why you are the person you are now. For bad and for good.

Some people go even further. They go in a downward spiral of shame, guilt, etc trying to compensate for the time they've lost.

How to make up for all the time I've lost in life? With video games, bad choices, not chasing my dreams, etc?

You don't. You don't compensate for the time you've lost.

In fact, you embrace all those bad choices you've made and you realize that you couldn't be anywhere else than you are today.

How to get out of debt fast? Or even, get out of debt at all? Most people are facing some really difficult times when it comes to their finances.

According to an article published by "The Motley Fool", most Americans are in debt: 80.9% of baby boomers, 79.9% of Gen Xers and 81.5% of millennials. These are scary numbers and most of those numbers are due to a lack of financial knowledge.

Most of this debt comes from mortgage, students loans, but also credit cards and medical loans.

It is known that debt is something that creates a lot of stress, worries and can definitely haunt you for years and years until you are able to pay for everything you owe.

This is why it is so important to understand how to get out of debt and, most of all, how to get out of debt fast.

I'm Living With Narcissistic Parents!!! WHAT NOW? Bulldog_Mindset 1 Views • 6 years ago

I'm Living With Narcissistic Parents!!! WHAT NOW?

DEVMOUNTAIN - Bulldog Mindset's AWESOME Sponsor: https://simpleprogrammer.com/devmountain

A narcissistic parent can be defined as someone who lives through, is possessive of, and/or engages in marginalizing competition with the offspring. Typically, the narcissistic parent perceives the independence of a child (including adult children) as a threat, and coerces the offspring to exist in the parent’s shadow, with unreasonable expectations. In a narcissistic parenting relationship, the child is rarely loved just for being herself or himself.
(Source: https://www.psychologytoday.co....m/intl/blog/communic

Living with a narcissistic parent can be tough. And this is exactly why "Sally" (fantasy name) decided to write me.

Have you ever experienced living with narcissistic parents?

The definition of narcissist can be pretty broad, but more and more people are spotting this type of personality in close friends, co-workers and, especially, family.

What do you do when you're living with narcissistic parents? Do you get out of their house? HOW TO get out of their house?

This is definitely not a healthy and easy situation to be in. In one hand, they are your parents, but they also do a lot of damage to your mental health.

In this video, I'll guide Sally through her delicate situation and help you, and other people, that might be going through the same situation: living with narcissistic parents.

Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends On It (Book Review) Bulldog_Mindset 2 Views • 6 years ago

Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends On It (Book Review)

Today I'm going to review a book that has been recommended to me a lot. I'm talking about "Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends On It".

This book was actually good. More than I thought so. After all, it presents a concept that I'm familiar with but that stills need to be incorporated by the general audience.

Here is the book description extracted from Amazon:
"In December of 2011, I gave a talk to an audience of scientists, Pentagon officials, politicians, and CEOs on the secret of life and how I'd figured it out the previous summer. Afterwards, people came up individually and told me how much what I'd shared meant to them. This book is based on the truth I spoke about. It's something I learned from within myself, something I believed saved me. And more than that, the way I set about to do it. This is a collection of thoughts on what I learned, what worked, what didn't. Where I succeed and importantly, where I fail daily. The truth is to love yourself with the same intensity you would use to pull yourself up if you were hanging off a cliff with your fingers. As if your life depended upon it. Once you get going, it's not hard to do. Just takes commitment and I'll share how I did it. It's been transformative for me. I know it will be transformative for you as well."

So, do you wanna know if Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends On It is worth reading? Check out my book review and find out!

Tao of Seneca Letter 20 - On Practicing What You Preach Bulldog_Mindset 0 Views • 6 years ago

Tao of Seneca Letter 20 - On Practicing What You Preach

Today we are continuing our Tao Of Seneca series, with letter 20 from The Moral Letters To Lucilius.

"If you are in good health and if you think yourself worthy of becoming at last your own master, I am glad.

For the credit will be mine, if I can drag you from the floods in which you are being buffeted without hope of emerging.

This, however, my dear Lucilius, I ask and beg of you, on your part, that you let wisdom sink into your soul, and test your progress, not by mere speech or writings, but by stoutness of heart and decrease of desire.

Prove your words by your deeds.

Far different is the purpose of those who are speech-making and trying to win the approbation of a throng of hearers, far different that of those who allure the ears of young men and idlers by many-sided or fluent argumentation; philosophy teaches us to act, not to speak; it exacts of every man that he should live according to his own standards, that his life should not be out of harmony with his words, and that, further, his inner life should be of one hue and not out of harmony with all his activities.

This, I say, is the highest duty and the highest proof of wisdom, – that deed and word should be in accord, that a man should be equal to himself under all conditions, and always the same. “But,” you reply, “who can maintain this standard?”

Very few, to be sure; but there are some.

It is indeed a hard undertaking, and I do not say that the philosopher can always keep the same pace. But he can always travel the same path.

Observe yourself, then, and see whether your dress and your house are inconsistent, whether you treat yourself lavishly and your family meanly, whether you eat frugal dinners and yet build luxurious houses.

You should lay hold, once for all, upon a single norm to live by, and should regulate your whole life according to this norm.

Some men restrict themselves at home, but strut with swelling port before the public; such discordance is a fault, and it indicates a wavering mind which cannot yet keep its balance.

And I can tell you, further, whence arise this unsteadiness and disagreement of action and purpose; it is because no man resolves upon what he wishes, and, even if he has done so, he does not persist in it, but jumps the track; not only does he change, but he returns and slips back to the conduct which he has abandoned and abjured.

Therefore, to omit the ancient definitions of wisdom and to include the whole manner of human life, I can be satisfied with the following: “What is wisdom? Always desiring the same things, and always refusing the same things.”

In this letter, Seneca talks about practicing what you preach. Less talk that talk. More walk that walk.

So, if you want to hear more about the wisdom that Seneca has to offer, just watch this video.

I'm In Love With A Much OLDER WOMAN! (I Want Her So Bad!) Bulldog_Mindset 4 Views • 6 years ago

I'm In Love With A Much OLDER WOMAN! (I Want Her So Bad!)

In today's video, I've received a question from a viewer telling me he was in love with an older woman. But not just an older woman... he was in love an older woman who is married and has kids.

I'm not here to judge anyone. Far from it. I'm not here to give you dating tips or relationship advice from a moralistic viewpoint.

However, if you're looking for dating older women not because you like, but because you're seeking external validation, then, we have a serious problem here.

And that's exactly what I'm going to tackle in this video.

From a personal development point of view, this age gap love means nothing. There is absolutely nothing wrong with loving an older woman.

However, you need to go to the roots of your desire and ask yourself what this really comes from: does it come from a place of personal security or are you looking for external validation?

In today's video I'm going to share my take on loving an older woman and why, at the surface level, it might look like just personal preference, but if you go a little bit deeper into your desires, you might find different reasons for pursuing a relationship with a married older woman.

Money Mindset: Want More Money? Change Yourself... Bulldog_Mindset 0 Views • 6 years ago

Money Mindset: Want More Money? Change Yourself...

DEVMOUNTAIN - Bulldog Mindset's AWESOME Sponsor: https://simpleprogrammer.com/devmountain

Lots of people want more money but they don't realize all that goes into a healthy money mindset.

Picture this: you want to make more money. You're unhappy with your current life situation and you dream of becoming wealthy, successful, etc.

But you repeat your patterns every single day. You do the same things you were doing yesterday, the day before, etc. And nothing changes: you keep wasting your time watching tv, playing videogames, etc.

Yet, you expect something different to happen. And there is nothing wrong with you. This is the reality of lots of people in the world... As I've said in a popular old video of mine, it is how "people expect to become a rockstar someday".

So... why people that want to make more money still keep doing the same things over and over again?

Why do they keep playing videogames and wasting time while they should be working on improving themselves?

In this video I'll talk how you that want to make more money need to be aware of the slips you might be doing on a day-to-day basis and how it can affect your life (for good or for bad).

The Mindset I USE To Do Things That I HATE! (Best Motivation For Success) Bulldog_Mindset 0 Views • 6 years ago

The Mindset I USE To Do Things That I HATE! (Best Motivation For Success)

I've talked several times before about the importance of doing the things you hate and bringing pain upon yourself. Those two concepts can really transform your life, due to the fact that it will change how you think, develop your mental toughness and really transform you into a bulldog.

However, putting it into action is not as easy and simple as it seems.

I know a lot of you who watch my videos and watch me talking about this are kind of lost of where to start and what to do.

Doing the things you hate has a much more complex concept than just bringing pain upon yourself... It is a mindset motivation for success.

Once you start doing the things you hate, you'll see how you'll become much more resilient and your life will transform for good.

But... How do you do it? How to start unlocking your mind power and get the motivation you need for success?

In this video I'll show you the EXACTLY mindset I use to do the things that I hate and how you can start implementing it too.

When External Validation DESTROYS You! (Yep... It Can) Bulldog_Mindset 1 Views • 6 years ago

When External Validation DESTROYS You! (Yep... It Can)

External validation is something we are all seeking at some point in our lives... Whether we are conscious or unconscious of it. As human beings, we have a big need for validation, usually searching in others what we should have in ourselves.

Does it look familiar to you?

At the bottom line, when we search for external validation we are actually looking for validation in other people, we start relying on other people to validate ourselves. It just shows how we lack self love, self esteem and how we need to start building confidence in ourselves.

What most people don't actually know is how external validation can destroy you.

When you start looking too much on the outside, you stop relying on what really matters: yourself.

I tend to say that we all need to follow a path in our lives but, once we start relying to much on other people to tell us what's wrong or not, we lose sight of what really matters to us.

In this video, I'm going to show you how external validation can destroy you and what you can start doing to actually build confidence and how to stop needing people to validate you.

What To Do When People JUDGE You? Prove Them WRONG! (Prejudice In Madrid?) Bulldog_Mindset 1 Views • 6 years ago

What To Do When People JUDGE You? Prove Them WRONG! (Prejudice In Madrid?)

DEVMOUNTAIN - Bulldog Mindset's AWESOME Sponsor: https://simpleprogrammer.com/devmountain

Recently someone commented in one of my videos asking me a question: "John, how to deal with prejudice?".

If you're around this channel for a long time, you've probably seen that I've talked about prejudice several times before. I love to talk about it because I think that people take it too much to the "victim side of it".

But today, we are going to talk about a different type of prejudice... The one you can't control. How to deal with the type of prejudice that you basically has no control?

As you might know already, I'm in Madrid. And I've been noticing lots of situations where I could see as prejudice with my skin color, the clothes I wear, etc.

But this is when the bulldog mindset comes in...

What do you do with this type of prejudice? What do you do when people judge you by what you actually ARE?

Most people don't know but this could actually be their secret weapon. You can become so good at something that people will judge you so wrong that you would get happy to prove them wrong.

When people judge me, I just tell myself "if only they could see my bank account... Ha". And this is the type of mindset you should have.

In this video I'm going to talk more about how to deal with prejudice, and what you should do (and how you should think) when people start to judge you.

How You Live One Day Is How You Live Everyday... IN ACTION! Bulldog_Mindset 1 Views • 6 years ago

How You Live One Day Is How You Live Everyday... IN ACTION!

DEVMOUNTAIN - Bulldog Mindset's AWESOME Sponsor: https://simpleprogrammer.com/devmountain

Back in 2015 when I was traveling Europe, I did a video with a concept that I tend to live by day after day.

The concept is: how you live one day is how you live everyday. Over the years, whenever I felt like My mind was trying to rationalize something (eat more, skip workouts, etc.) I would remember this concept and I would get back on track once again.

Now, I'm traveling again. Actually, I'm back in Europe and I'm going to stay almost 1 month in Barcelona.

And... I must say my mind was trying to rationalize again. I thought it was ok to skip workouts... I thought it was ok for me to skip my 10-mile run... I thought it was ok for me to skip my fasting...

But I reminded myself "how you live one day is how you live everyday"...

In today's video I'm going to revisit this important concept for life and tell you how, sometimes, a simple action can have much greater implications on your overall neural circuits than you might think.

How You Live One Day Is How You Life Every Day:

Becoming Supernatural (Book Review) Bulldog_Mindset 3 Views • 6 years ago

Becoming Supernatural (Book Review)

Becoming Supernatural is the latest book by Dr. Joe Dispenza. As a big fan of Dr. Dispenza's work, especially "Breaking The Habit Of Being Yourself", I decided to read this book. And here you can find my book review on it.

Here is the book description extracted from Amazon:
"The author of the New York Times bestseller You Are the Placebo, as well as Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself and Evolve Your Brain, draws on research conducted at his advanced workshops since 2012 to explore how common people are doing the uncommon to transform themselves and their lives. Becoming Supernatural marries some of the most profound scientific information with ancient wisdom to show how people like you and me can experience a more mystical life. Readers will learn that we are, quite literally supernatural by nature if given the proper knowledge and instruction, and when we learn how to apply that information through various meditations, we should experience a greater expression of our creative abilities; that we have the capacity to tune in to frequencies beyond our material world and receive more orderly coherent streams of consciousness and energy; that we can intentionally change our brain chemistry to initiate profoundly mystical transcendental experiences; and how, if we do this enough times, we can develop the skill of creating a more efficient, balanced, healthy body, a more unlimited mind, and greater access to the realms of spiritual truth. Topics include: •Demystifying the body’s 7 energy centers and how you can balance them to heal •How to free yourself from the past by reconditioning your body to a new mind •How you can create reality in the generous present moment by changing your energy •The difference between third-dimension creation and fifth-dimension creation •The secret science of the pineal gland and its role in accessing mystical realms of reality •The distinction between Space-Time vs. Time-Space realities •And much moreUsing tools and disciplines ranging from cutting-edge physics to practical exercises such as a walking meditation, Dr. Joe offers nothing less than a program for stepping outside our physical reality and into the quantum field of infinite possibilities."

After reading "You Are The Placebo" and "Breaking The Habit Of Being Yourself", what can you expect from "Becoming Supernatural"? Watch this book review and find out!

How To Feel Worthy While UNEMPLOYED? Bulldog_Mindset 1 Views • 6 years ago

How To Feel Worthy While UNEMPLOYED?

Sometimes we might think our sense of worthiness is strictly related to how much money we make or how "well-employed" we are. It's easy to go out and tell friends how much money you're earning just to feel good about it.

However... How to feel worthy while you're unemployed? This is the questions I've received in one of my comments on a video I've released a while ago.

To start, most people start searching for worthiness in a lot of different places, all of them external to you. As personal development teaches us, we are the only ones capable of building a true sense of worth.

When things go well, we feel validated by that... We feel like we're doing something great and that we are worthy...

But... What do we do when things go wrong? Besides that, what do we do when are unemployed? No income? ZERO income? Our sense of worthiness is so attached to money that... How can we feel worthy if we're earning... NOTHING?

in this video I'm going to talk about how to develop a sense of worthiness while you're unemployed and how it can even help you to get a job or build a business for yourself.

Grant's Success Story: John Sonmez Will Kick My ASS! Bulldog_Mindset 0 Views • 6 years ago

Grant's Success Story: John Sonmez Will Kick My ASS!

Grant decided to write to me to sharte his success story. As I've said before, I love when people write to me telling me how much their lives have changed by putting into practice what I teach here in this channel.

Grant has a very nice and great story and this is why I decided to share his story here on the channel.

Here is Grant's full email:
"Hi John,

I wanted to formally email you. My name is Grant - You recorded a video regarding one of my comments a few weeks ago.

I sincerely thank you for helping me out this past year. Your videos are helping me keep true to what I want in life.

Last year, at this time, I went to the hospital regarding severe depression and isolation. I did not have any friends (I do not have any right now) and I was ashamed to be in front of my family members. I didn't tell my parents this part: I also had a porn crutch (I would go in phases...)

Anyway, since then, I have really kept up with every video regarding the "bulldog mindset." When you renamed your channel to bulldog mindset, I started to jump around the room.

Before I leave for my freshman year of college in a week, I thought I would email you and tell you just how much I admire you and your mission. Even though I do not agree with you on every single subject you address, I always wanted to be like you.

Besides getting out of a state of depression, I have started to understand how taking ownership for my life and living by seemingly corny statements have helped me stay true to my mission.

This past summer: I got a cybersecurity-related, full-time internship, was running 55 plus miles a week for ten weeks straight during the spring (I had to tone it down due to extremely hot weather), took ownership for my actions, and am ready to finally leave for college. This past week: I asked a girl on a date for the first time in my life... I had never even said a word to a girl throughout my high school years. I started working on a cybersecurity website addressing the student's perspective on I.T. security. last November when I started listening to you.

John, you are seriously the man...

One day, maybe... You can interview me and I will claim just how much your methods really work even at the age of fifteen when I started listening to you... and eighteen when I started acting on what you were saying.

I always tell myself, "John Sonmez would be seriously kicking my ass right now if he found out I was wasting my time with this..."

Keep up the great work!

Sincerely,"

Grant had an AWESOME success story and I believe his story can personally give you the strength to keep moving forward, especially with your projects.

Get inspired by Grant and change your life.

Dealing With Loss & Grief: I Lost ALL My MOTIVATION! Bulldog_Mindset 2 Views • 6 years ago

Dealing With Loss & Grief: I Lost ALL My MOTIVATION!

DEVMOUNTAIN - Bulldog Mindset's AWESOME Sponsor: https://simpleprogrammer.com/devmountain

Dealing with loss of a loved one can be one of the most difficult things a man can face in its life.

Today, this video is about the loss of a loved one. Someone commented in one of my videos talking about that he lost all of his motivation after losing his fiancée.

He is in a pretty bad shape right now. he can't seem to do anything. He doesn't seem to find the strength to keep moving with his life.

Dealing with loss can definitely be a difficult thing.

Coping with the loss of someone or something you love is one of life’s biggest challenges. Often, the pain of loss can feel overwhelming. You may experience all kinds of difficult and unexpected emotions, from shock or anger to disbelief, guilt, and profound sadness. The pain of grief can also disrupt your physical health, making it difficult to sleep, eat, or even think straight. These are normal reactions to significant loss. But while there is no right or wrong way to grieve, there are healthy ways to cope with the pain that, in time, can ease your sadness and help you come to terms with your loss, find new meaning, and move on with your life.
(Source: https://www.helpguide.org/arti....cles/grief/coping-wi

This is why I decided to record this video. This is definitely not an easy and simple thing to do. It brings the saddest parts of our being. But we need to keep moving on.

In this video I'll present you some really important concepts that might be able to help you deal with the loss of a loved one and how to get your motivation and life back on track.

The Talent Code (Book Review) Bulldog_Mindset 3 Views • 6 years ago

The Talent Code (Book Review)

The Talent Book is a book I decided to read because it was being

Here is the book description extracted from Amazon:
"What is the secret of talent? How do we unlock it? In this groundbreaking work, journalist and New York Times bestselling author Daniel Coyle provides parents, teachers, coaches, businesspeople—and everyone else—with tools they can use to maximize potential in themselves and others.

Whether you’re coaching soccer or teaching a child to play the piano, writing a novel or trying to improve your golf swing, this revolutionary book shows you how to grow talent by tapping into a newly discovered brain mechanism.

Drawing on cutting-edge neurology and firsthand research gathered on journeys to nine of the world’s talent hotbeds—from the baseball fields of the Caribbean to a classical-music academy in upstate New York—Coyle identifies the three key elements that will allow you to develop your gifts and optimize your performance in sports, art, music, math, or just about anything.

• Deep Practice--Everyone knows that practice is a key to success. What everyone doesn’t know is that specific kinds of practice can increase skill up to ten times faster than conventional practice.

• Ignition--We all need a little motivation to get started. But what separates truly high achievers from the rest of the pack? A higher level of commitment—call it passion—born out of our deepest unconscious desires and triggered by certain primal cues. Understanding how these signals work can help you ignite passion and catalyze skill development.

• Master Coaching--What are the secrets of the world’s most effective teachers, trainers, and coaches? Discover the four virtues that enable these “talent whisperers” to fuel passion, inspire deep practice, and bring out the best in their students.

These three elements work together within your brain to form myelin, a microscopic neural substance that adds vast amounts of speed and accuracy to your movements and thoughts. Scientists have discovered that myelin might just be the holy grail: the foundation of all forms of greatness, from Michelangelo’s to Michael Jordan’s. The good news about myelin is that it isn’t fixed at birth; to the contrary, it grows, and like anything that grows, it can be cultivated and nourished.

Combining revelatory analysis with illuminating examples of regular people who have achieved greatness, this book will not only change the way you think about talent, but equip you to reach your own highest potential."

How To Learn FASTER: One Simple Step To Learn Things Quickly Bulldog_Mindset 2 Views • 6 years ago

How To Learn FASTER: One Simple Step To Learn Things Quickly

DEVMOUNTAIN - Bulldog Mindset's AWESOME Sponsor: https://simpleprogrammer.com/devmountain

How to learn new things faster? Have you ever wondered?

Most people seem to follow the same process when it comes to learning. They figure out a topic they are interested in and, then, they start gathering all the information they possibly can: books, courses, tutorials. And they keep watching them.

I was the author of many courses for Pluralsight and I've received a lot of emails from programmers and software developers telling me that they have been reading lots of books and courses and asking me "Ok, so... When do I start?".

Thing is: knowledge without action is nothing.

This is the number one mistake I see people making in terms of learning things quickly and faster. They spend too much time with the theory behind it and never actually get to implement and test the things they've been studying.

This is exactly what I wanted to talk about in this video. How to learn things faster? How can possibly one step change the way we learn things?

This is the exactly I've used to learn more than 23 programming languages so I could teach others.

Instead of wasting too much time in learning all you possibly can at first so that you could start putting things into practice, change how you do things.

Just start. Just do it, even if you have no idea of what you are doing. Only after starting, you can start searching for books and tutorials. This will drastically improve the way you learn things.

Wanna know how you can learn things faster and how this simple tweak in your learning process can improve your knowledge retention? Watch this video and find out!

The Leangains Method (Book Review) Bulldog_Mindset 8 Views • 6 years ago

The Leangains Method (Book Review)

As you probably know, I'm a huge intermittent fasting fan. I've been fasting for over 10 years now and I can't find enough words to describe my body improvement once I started doing that.

The Leangains Method book is written by Martin Berkhan, the guy responsible for popularizing intermittent fasting.

Once I knew this book was coming out, I couldn't hold my expectations and I decided to read it.

Here is the book description extracted from Amazon:
"Never do cardio. Forget sit-ups. Eat when you want but don’t snack. Breakfast? Who needs it. Spend less than two hours a week in the gym to double your results in half the time, because less is more.

Sound like a reasonable diet and exercise advice? To most people, it doesn’t. But as crazy as it sounds, these statements are part of the winning formula behind Martin Berkhan’s controversial Leangains method—as evidenced by hundreds of clients and thousands of success stories from Leangains devotees all over the world.

The Leangains Method: The Art of Getting Ripped. Researched, Practiced, Perfected is the definitive fat loss manual and body transformation plan for people who are tired of gimmicks, BS, and the same old spiels they’ve heard countless times before. Tired tropes like “Eat Breakfast Like a King, Lunch Like a Prince, and Dinner Like a Pauper,” conventional “wisdom” about our eating habits and other nonsensical beliefs has no place in this book - but they are dealt with accordingly, which is to say that The Leangains Method is the perfect gift for the dabbler who can’t tell right from wrong and is highly educational for beginners or scholars alike.

Conceived and outlined on www.leangains.com over a decade ago, the Leangains diet is commonly known as the “16:8" diet in mainstream media. The popular diet that shook the foundation of the fitness industry, kickstarted the intermittent fasting craze and caused a nutritional paradigm shift has been plagiarized more than any other diet in recent history. But its secrets have eluded everyone, and its efficiency has never been reproduced. Until now. And when its elusive creator pulls the curtain apart and reveals the treasured terroir of the Method, you will bask at its flavors and laugh at its imitators. Rest assured.

People are often told that there are no secrets left. That statement was wrong a decade ago when Martin Berkhan introduced intermittent fasting and made breakfast skipping a thing. And in The Leangains Method: The Art of Getting Ripped. Researched, Practiced, Perfected he does it again. But he doesn’t make these outlandish claims casually, and skeptics will be delighted to know that the book and its methods are fully referenced, evidence-based, and peer-reviewed by fitness industry watchdog Alan Aragon.

The Leangains Method: The Art of Getting Ripped. Researched, Practiced, Perfected is chock-full of insider secrets and cutting-edge science revealed for the very first time. You’ll learn why a calorie isn’t a calorie, and how to use this knowledge to your advantage. You’ll be taught the ingredients of the most efficient legal fat-burning stack in existence—and, should you decide to use it, be able to accelerate fat loss by up to half a pound per week. After that and much more, you’ll witness the unveiling of the greatest diet secret of them all. The magic bullet, the one thing that makes all the difference. Don’t listen to what they say. It exists.

The Leangains Method: The Art of Getting Ripped. Researched, Practiced, Perfected is the alpha and omega of fat loss, conceived at the crossroads of lived experience and brutal honesty, the everyday practicalities of dieting, and the bleeding edge of science. It’s a body transformation plan that reaches beyond bodies and into minds, perceptions, and priorities.

Its author makes a single promise. You’ve never read a book like this before, and you’ll never read its like again.

Author’s note: The Leangains Method extols the benefits of a high-protein diet, and the nutritional recommendations in the book reflect this. It’s therefore unsuitable for vegans and—to a lesser extent—vegetarians. A basic grasp of nutrition is also advised before purchasing this book; you should know how to count calories and understand the difference between fat, protein, and carbohydrate."

So... Is this a good book? Should you read it?

Crushing It (Book Review) Bulldog_Mindset 4 Views • 6 years ago

Crushing It (Book Review)

If you're into producing content and growing your brand by doing content marketing, this book would fit perfectly into your shelf.

Crushing It is a book by Gary Vaynerchuk (not to be confused with Crush It book) and it has lots of great information about what really takes to be successful on the internet nowadays.

Here is the book description, extracted from Amazon:
"Four-time New York Times bestselling author Gary Vaynerchuk offers new lessons and inspiration drawn from the experiences of dozens of influencers and entrepreneurs who rejected the predictable corporate path in favor of pursuing their dreams by building thriving businesses and extraordinary personal brands.

In his 2009 international bestseller Crush It, Gary insisted that a vibrant personal brand was crucial to entrepreneurial success, In Crushing It!, Gary explains why that’s even more true today, offering his unique perspective on what has changed and what principles remain timeless. He also shares stories from other entrepreneurs who have grown wealthier—and not just financially—than they ever imagined possible by following Crush It principles. The secret to their success (and Gary’s) has everything to do with their understanding of the social media platforms, and their willingness to do whatever it took to make these tools work to their utmost potential. That’s what Crushing It! teaches readers to do.

In this lively, practical, and inspiring book, Gary dissects every current major social media platform so that anyone, from a plumber to a professional ice skater, will know exactly how to amplify his or her personal brand on each. He offers both theoretical and tactical advice on how to become the biggest thing on old standbys like Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Pinterest, and Snapchat; podcast platforms like Spotify, Soundcloud, iHeartRadio, and iTunes; and other emerging platforms such as Musical.ly. For those with more experience, Crushing It! illuminates some little-known nuances and provides innovative tips and clever tweaks proven to enhance more common tried-and-true strategies.

Crushing It! is a state-of-the-art guide to building your own path to professional and financial success, but it’s not about getting rich. It’s a blueprint to living life on your own terms."

How To Become LITERALLY Anything You Want! (Mindset Technique)

DEVMOUNTAIN - Bulldog Mindset's AWESOME Sponsor: https://simpleprogrammer.com/devmountain

Recently, there was a really good topic in the new Simple Programmer membership community which I couldn't ignore.

If you don't know what I'm talking about, Simple Programmer just launched a new membership forum which top notch developers over there. if you're serious about advancing your career as a developer, you should definitely check that out. Links on description.

Anyway, on this membership website, someone asked what is the best way to cultivate a good mindset.

According to him, he can't put into practice the techniques that he needs. Once he starts doing visualizations, he often stops and is not able to keep going.

He feels stuck and he does not know how to advance and become, what he calls, an advanced programmer.

Well... Things is. Mindset is just a name for something.

You can't waste your precious time with something that isn't working for you.

In this video we'll discuss how you can put mindset concepts into practice, and make use of the "act as if" technique.

Building A Story Brand (Book Review) Bulldog_Mindset 0 Views • 6 years ago

Building A Story Brand (Book Review)

What do you wanna tell the world? What does your brand wanna tell the world? This is exactly what this book prompts to answer.

Over the years, I must admit, I've failed in creating a proper story that could carry out the brand. This book literally changed the way I perceive business and the importance of building up a story to carry your message.

This is the book description, extracted from Amazon:
"New York Times bestselling author Donald Miller uses the seven universal elements of powerful stories to teach readers how to dramatically improve how they connect with customers and grow their businesses.

Donald Miller’s StoryBrand process is a proven solution to the struggle business leaders face when talking about their businesses. This revolutionary method for connecting with customers provides readers with the ultimate competitive advantage, revealing the secret for helping their customers understand the compelling benefits of using their products, ideas, or services.

10% To 7% BODY FAT! (With Mario Tomic) Bulldog_Mindset 5 Views • 6 years ago

10% To 7% BODY FAT! (With Mario Tomic)

How to go from 10% to 7% body fat?

Most people believe that losing that is a one-time only thing that they will do once and never again.

Fact is: It is much easier to go from 18% to 10% than to get lower than 10% body fat.

To look good, you need to get below 10%—the point at which most guys can see some definition—and ideally as low as 7%. But this is definitely not easy as you think.

Going from 10% to 7% body fat requires a clear plan AND, most of all, mental toughness.

In this video I'll discuss how you can get lower percentage body fat, soemthing close to 7%.

But i'm not alone. Mario Tomic, my friend, will help me with his best tips for burning fat and achieving a 7% body fat.

Mario helps entrepreneurs and busy professionals get in the best shape of their lives through intelligent lifestyle design. He has spent the last 8 years and over 10,000 hours on studying and coaching fitness, nutrition, and the psychology of high performance.

And best of all, especially to my audience, the ones related to software development... He is also a huge nerd, minimalist, ex-pro video gamer, bookworm, and a fan of Dragon Ball.

How To Deal With Jealousy From Past Relationships Bulldog_Mindset 4 Views • 6 years ago

How To Deal With Jealousy From Past Relationships

Jealousy seems to be a really bad experience for most guys.

A lot of the guys that I talk to have said to me that they can't stop being jealous. No one enjoys feeling jealous. Yet, jealousy is an inevitable emotion that pretty much every one of us will experience.

Of course, jealousy is an emotion that most people, at some point in life, need to be able to handle. But, in reality, not everyone can do it.

Unsurprisingly, studies have shown that increased jealousy correlates with lower self-esteem. Remember, our jealousy often comes from insecurity in ourselves – a feeling like we are doomed to be deceived, hurt or rejected.

And this is a reality for most men I talk to.

I often say in this channel that, in order for you to grow as a person and as a man, you need to find purpose in your life. And once you find purpose, jealousy won't have space to breathe.

In today's video, I'm going to show you how to stop being jealous and how you can start transforming your inner self to achieve this state of peace.

You Need More Money (Book Review) Bulldog_Mindset 0 Views • 6 years ago

You Need More Money (Book Review)

I've been waiting to read this book for a while and now, I've finally managed to do it.

You Need More Money is a pretty good book in terms of showing you a clear path to financial independence. Similar to "FU Money", I still believe this book did a better job in terms of producing practical content.

Here is the book description extracted from Amazon:
"Whoever you are, whatever your financial situation, I'm here to give you a wake-up call, my friend.

Twenty-five years ago, I set off on my own with nothing but a folding table and a phone. For years, real success eluded me. I told people I was doing well when I was often on the edge of being broke.

Millions of people face the same plight--including my beloved brother-in-law, who died tragically before he could fix his money problems. That was MY wake-up call. I knew I needed more money, but I didn't know how to get it. I only turned things around by getting honest with myself, taking responsibility for my situation, and figuring out some practical solutions. Now I'm going to show you how to do the same.

In polite society, we don't like to talk about money. But it's too important to tiptoe around. In these pages, you and I are going to cut the BS and get real. For starters, I'll help you understand . . .

How the money has moved. Stop making decisions based on advice that worked decades ago, but no longer.

The dangers of living in a "False Positive." It's easy to tell ourselves that we have enough-- until we're hit with medical bills, aging parents, tuition, or early retirement.

The cheap comfort of the blamer mind-set: It might feel good to blame the government, the economy, or your boss for your troubles, but it won't change anything. Do you want an excuse, or do you want more money?

The power of "Lifestyle by Design." Visualize your long-term goal and work backward to figure out how to get there.

The trade-offs of being an employer or employee. You can get rich by starting a business or by rising to the top of an existing organization.

Let's figure out what's right for you. It's going to take grit and guts, but if you follow my road map, you'll start accumulating real wealth, the kind that lets you live the life of your dreams and lasts for generations to come."

Finding Ultra (Book Review) Bulldog_Mindset 2 Views • 6 years ago

Finding Ultra (Book Review)

Finding Ultra is one of those books that are made to inspire you, no matter how unmotivated you are.

For example, I decided to listen to this book before running so that it would give me motivation. And man... How it did!

This book follows the same structure of motivation for "Living With A Seal" and this is definitely a win for me.

Here is the book description extracted from Amazon:
"Finding Ultra is an incredible but true account of achieving one of the most awe-inspiring midlife physical transformations ever

On the night before he was to turn forty, Rich Roll experienced a chilling glimpse of his future. Nearly fifty pounds overweight and unable to climb the stairs without stopping, he could see where his current sedentary life was taking him—and he woke up.

Plunging into a new routine that prioritized a plant-based lifestyle and daily training, Rich morphed—in a matter of mere months—from out of shape, mid-life couch potato to endurance machine. Finding Ultra recounts Rich’s remarkable journey to the starting line of the elite Ultraman competition, which pits the world’s fittest humans in a 320-mile ordeal of swimming, biking, and running. And following that test, Rich conquered an even greater one: the EPIC5—five Ironman-distance triathlons, each on a different Hawaiian island, all completed in less than a week.

In the years since Finding Ultra was published, Rich has become one of the world’s most recognized advocates of plant-based living. In this newly revised and updated edition, he shares the practices, tools, and techniques he uses for optimal performance, longevity, and wellness, including diet and nutrition protocols. Rich reflects on the steps he took to shift his mindset and leverage deep reservoirs of untapped potential to achieve success beyond his wildest imagination, urging each of us to embark on our own journey of self-discovery."

How To Find The RIGHT Property Management Company (Real Estate Investing For Beginners) Bulldog_Mindset 2 Views • 6 years ago

How To Find The RIGHT Property Management Company (Real Estate Investing For Beginners)

Finding the right property management company is a HUGE decision that will have a massive impact on the success or failure of your real estate investment plans.

I've bought my first property at 19 and I've been doing real estate investment for quite a long time now... Needless to say, I've had lots of experience when choosing property management companies for my rental properties.

Bottom line: all of them... well... s**k?

I've have had plenty of experience with property management companies and very few of them did a great work in terms of management. Thing is: Managing properties is not the way they make money and they know that.

Just one of these experiences, I would say, were quite good and something I would recommend if you're a total beginner and are looking for a good way to start your real estate investment plan.

in today's video, I'm going to show you how to search and find the best property management company and what you can do to avoid serious mistakes when giving your property away for someone else to manage.

How To Build REAL Confidence (And Change Your Life Forever) Bulldog_Mindset 2 Views • 6 years ago

How To Build REAL Confidence (And Change Your Life Forever)

DEVMOUNTAIN - Bulldog Mindset's AWESOME Sponsor: https://simpleprogrammer.com/devmountain

Most people believe confidence is arrogance, but they are totally wrong. Real confidence is the EXACT opposite of arrogance.

But... how to build confidence? How to become more confident?

One of the things that hold people back from pursuing their dreams for many years was fear of failure … and the lack of self-confidence that they need to overcome that fear.

It’s something we all face, to some degree, I think. The key question: how do you become more confident? Is there a blueprint?

Confidence can only be built by experience. Confidence can only be built once you understand and know what can and WILL happen. Otherwise, you get nervous. Otherwise, you don't feel like you can do it.

In today's video I'm going to show you the exact steps I've used during my ENTIRE life to build true confidence and how I was able to change my life forever and become the bulldog you all know.

Clockwork (Book Review) Bulldog_Mindset 1 Views • 6 years ago

Clockwork (Book Review)

Clockwork was an AWESOME book about automating your business. If you want to create a business that does not need you to be there, then, this is a book that will definitely transform the way you see business.

if you don't know, I almost quit Simple Programmer. When I started the business I was doing it all by myself. It took me to get close to quitting, to really understand the power of automating my business.

Here is the book description extracted from Amazon:
"Do you worry that your business will collapse without your constant presence? Are you sacrificing your family, friendships, and freedom to keep your business alive? What if instead your business could run itself, freeing you to do what you love when you want, while it continues to grow and turn a profit?

It's possible. And it's easier than you think.

If you're like most entrepreneurs, you started your business so you could be your own boss, make the money you deserve, and live life on your own terms. In reality, you're bogged down in the daily grind, constantly putting out fires, answering an endless stream of questions, and continually hunting for cash.

Now, Mike Michalowicz, the author of Profit First and other small-business bestsellers, offers a straightforward step-by-step path out of this dilemma. In Clockwork, he draws on more than six years of research and real life examples to explain his simple approach to making your business ultra-efficient.
Among other powerful strategies, you will discover how to:

Make your employees act like owners: Free yourself from micromanaging by using a simple technique to empower your people to make smart decisions without you.

Pinpoint your business's most important function: Unleash incredible efficiency by identifying and focusing everyone on the one function that is most crucial to your business.

Know what to fix next: Most entrepreneurs try to fix every inefficiency at once and end up fixing nothing. Use the "weakest link in the chain" method to find the one fix that will add the most value now.

Whether you have a staff of one, one hundred, or somewhere in between, whether you're a new entrepreneur or have been overworked and overstressed for years, Clockwork is your path to finally making your business work for you."

If you're interested in automating your business, then, this book is definitely for you.

Finding My Virginity (Book Review) Bulldog_Mindset 1 Views • 6 years ago

Finding My Virginity (Book Review)

Lately I've been reading a lot of books about entrepreneurship, especially the ones that comes from stories of successful entrepreneurs.

This time, I decided to read Finding My Virginity, the story of the founder of Virgin.

Here is the book description, extracted from Amazon:
"Twenty years after his iconic memoir Losing My Virginity, the world’s ultimate entrepreneur is back with the rest of the story.

Richard Branson’s Losing My Virginity shared the outrageous tale of how he built Virgin from a student magazine into one of the greatest brands in history. No challenge was too daunting, no opportunity too outlandish to pursue. And each new adventure started with five simple words: “Screw it, let’s do it.”

Now, fifty years after starting his first business, Branson shares the candid details of a lifetime of triumphs and failures and what he really thinks about his unique life and career. Finding My Virginity is an intimate look at his never-ending quest to push boundaries, break rules, and seek new frontiers—even after launching a dozen billion-dollar businesses and hundreds of other companies.

As he led Virgin into the new millennium, Branson fearlessly expanded the brand into new categories such as mobile, media, fitness, and banking and into every corner of the globe—all while preserving its iconoclastic, scrappy spirit. He even brought Virgin into space with Virgin Galactic, the world’s first commercial spaceline. Finding My Virginity takes us behind the scenes of the incredible brains, heart, and sacrifices that have gone into making private spaceflight an imminent reality—even after the biggest crisis Branson has ever faced.

But this book is much more than a series of business adventures. It’s also the story of Branson’s evolution from hotshot entrepreneur to passionate philanthropist and public servant, via Virgin Unite’s environmental and health initiatives and through the Elders, a council of influential global leaders. And it’s the story of his personal quest to become a better son, husband, father, and “grand-dude” to his four grandchildren.

Featuring a supporting cast that includes everyone from Bill Gates to Kate Moss, Nelson Mandela to Barack Obama, this is the gripping account of a man who will never stop reaching for the stars, in more ways than one. Find out how Branson did it for the first time—all over again."

Tao Of Seneca Letter 21 - On The Renown Which My Writings Will Bring You Bulldog_Mindset 2 Views • 6 years ago

Tao Of Seneca Letter 21 - On The Renown Which My Writings Will Bring You

Today we are going to read and discuss Seneca's 21th letter to Lucilius, where he talks about the renown which his writing might bring him.

Here is a part of the letter:
"Do you conclude that you are having difficulties with those men about whom you wrote to me? Your greatest difficulty is with yourself; for you are your own stumbling-block. You do not know what you want. You are better at approving the right course than at following it out. You see where the true happiness lies, but you have not the courage to attain it. Let me tell you what it is that hinders you, inasmuch as you do not of yourself discern it.

You think that this condition, which you are to abandon, is one of importance, and after resolving upon that ideal state of calm into which you hope to pass, you are held back by the lustre of your present life, from which it is your intention to depart, just as if you were about to fall into a state of filth and darkness. This is a mistake, Lucilius; to go from your present life into the other is a promotion. There is the same difference between these two lives as there is between mere brightness and real light; the latter has a definite source within itself, the other borrows its radiance; the one is called forth by an illumination coming from the outside, and anyone who stands between the source and the object immediately turns the latter into a dense shadow; but the other has a glow that comes from within.
It is your own studies that will make you shine and will render you eminent, Allow me to mention the case of Epicurus. 3. He was writing to Idomeneus and trying to recall him from a showy existence to sure and steadfast renown. Idomeneus was at that time a minister of state who exercised a rigorous authority and had important affairs in hand. "If," said Epicurus, "you are attracted by fame, my letters will make you more renowned than all the things which you cherish and which make you cherished." 4. Did Epicurus speak falsely? Who would have known of Idomeneus, had not the philosopher thus engraved his name in those letters of his? All the grandees and satraps, even the king himself, who was petitioned for the title which Idomeneus sought, are sunk in deep oblivion. Cicero's letters keep the name of Atticus from perishing. It would have profited Atticus nothing to have an Agrippa for a son-in-law, a Tiberius for the husband of his grand-daughter, and a Drusus Caesar for a great-grandson; amid these mighty names his name would never be spoken, had not Cicero bound him to himself] 5. The deep flood of time will roll over us; some few great men will raise their heads above it, and, though destined at the last to depart into the same realms of silence, will battle against oblivion and maintain their ground for long.

That which Epicurus could promise his friend, this I promise you, Lucilius. I shall find favour among later generations; I can take with me names that will endure as long as mine. Our poet Vergil promised an eternal name to two heroes, and is keeping his promise:

Blest heroes twain! If power my song possess,
The record of your names shall never be
Erased from out the book of Time, while yet
Aeneas' tribe shall keep the Capitol,
That rock immovable, and Roman sire
Shall empire hold.

Whenever men have been thrust forward by fortune, whenever they have become part and parcel of another's influence, they have found abundant favour, their houses have been thronged, only so long as they themselves have kept their position; when they themselves have left it, they have slipped at once from the memory of men. But in the case of innate ability, the respect in which it is held increases, and not only does honour accrue to the man himself, but whatever has attached itself to his memory is passed on from one to another."

I Can't Follow My Own Rules! Bulldog_Mindset 0 Views • 6 years ago

I Can't Follow My Own Rules!

From time to time, I receive lots of good YouTube comments that are really gold and almost forces me to create videos for each one of them.

Recently, I've received a comment in one of my videos from a viewer telling me that he couldn't follow rules. Neither his own rules nor rules from others.

Here is what he said in the comment:
I don't respect rules, I actually despise them. Others' rules or even my own. Once I put something as a rule, I can't resist not breaking the rule. And my habit of breaking the rules usually gets me into a lot of trouble, but fuck it... It's worth it as long as I don't end up in jail someday. XD
So obviously setting rules isn't gonna work for me. What works for me is setting a goal, getting the right mindset to pursue it, and every time I get demotivated, just comparing the consequences of doing it vs not doing it ( and that happens within milliseconds ). Then I end up choosing the one that has the best consequences for me. Consequences are all that matters to me when I do something, so they are the only things stopping me from doing a lot of stupid shit.

So... What to do in a situation like this?

At the same time that he shows that he is like a "punk" and does not respect any rules, which can be good, he also is trapped inside of his own actions. This creates a pattern that will definitely make him a hostage of his own choices.

he can't understand when to follow and when to not follow rules. And it drastically affects his entire life.

in today's video, we are going to talk about what to do when you can't follow rules and why you need to understand when to follow and when NOT to follow your own set of rules.

Tao Of Seneca Letter 22 - On The Futility Of Half-Way Measures Bulldog_Mindset 2 Views • 6 years ago

Tao Of Seneca Letter 22 - On The Futility Of Half-Way Measures

Today we are going to read and discuss Seneca's 22nd letter to Lucilius. For me, this is one of the best letters of the series, because it talks about so many different and important concepts.

Here is part of the letter:
"You understand by this time that you must withdraw yourself from those showy and depraved pursuits; but you still wish to know how this may be accomplished.

There are certain things which can be pointed out only by someone who is present.

The physician cannot prescribe by letter the proper time for eating or bathing; he must feel the pulse.

There is an old adage about gladiators, – that they plan their fight in the ring; as they intently watch, something in the adversary’s glance, some movement of his hand, even some slight bending of his body, gives a warning. We can formulate general rules and commit them to writing, as to what is usually done, or ought to be done; such advice may be given, not only to our absent friends, but also to succeeding generations.

In regard, however, to that second question, – when or how your plan is to be carried out, – no one will advise at long range; we must take counsel in the presence of the actual situation. You must be not only present in the body, but watchful in mind, if you would avail yourself of the fleeting opportunity. Accordingly, look about you for the opportunity; if you see it, grasp it, and with all your energy and with all your strength devote yourself to this task – to rid yourself of those business duties.

Now listen carefully to the opinion which I shall offer; it is my opinion that you should withdraw either from that kind of existence, or else from existence altogether.

But I likewise maintain that you should take a gentle path, that you may loosen rather than cut the knot which you have bungled so badly in tying, – provided that if there shall be no other way of loosening it, you may actually cut it.

No man is so faint-hearted that he would rather hang in suspense for ever than drop once for all. Meanwhile, – and this is of first importance, – do not hamper yourself; be content with the business into which you have lowered yourself, or, as you prefer to have people think, have tumbled. There is no reason why you should be struggling on to something further; if you do, you will lose all grounds of excuse, and men will see that it was not a tumble.

The usual explanation which men offer is wrong: “I was compelled to do it. Suppose it was against my will; I had to do it.” But no one is compelled to pursue prosperity at top speed; it means something to call a halt, – even if one does not offer resistance, – instead of pressing eagerly after favouring fortune.

Shall you then be put out with me, if I not only come to advise you, but also call in others to advise you, – wiser heads than my own, men before whom I am wont to lay any problem upon which l am pondering?"

So, if you're interested in more of this amazing knowledge that you can get from seneca's moral letters to lucilius, just seat down and watch this video :)

How To Manage Deep Work & Social Life Bulldog_Mindset 0 Views • 6 years ago

How To Manage Deep Work & Social Life

DEVMOUNTAIN - Bulldog Mindset's AWESOME Sponsor: https://simpleprogrammer.com/devmountain

Cal Newport wrote about deep work and presented such a wonderful concept that it's definitely worth sharing.

Deep work could be understood by "the ability to focus without distraction on a cognitively demanding task. It's a skill that allows you to quickly master complicated information and produce better results in less time. Deep work will make you better at what you do and provide the sense of true fulfillment that comes from craftsmanship. In short, deep work is like a super power in our increasingly competitive twenty-first century economy. And yet, most people have lost the ability to go deep-spending their days instead in a frantic blur of e-mail and social media, not even realizing there's a better way."

However, for some people, deep work means giving up your whole life in order to... just work.

As a previous author, I recognize the importance of developing soft skills as part of your personal development journey.

Building technical skills and just focusing on work will not make you someone to be proud of. You'll need more.

In today's video I'm going to share why balancing deep work and social life is important and how you can mix both of them to achieve your full potential.
