SUMMARY - Actualized - One Simple Rule For Acing Life Rule: Always do whats emotionally most difficult in whatever situation you are. Do the exact opposite of what most people and you do. Most people look for the most convenient thing. this leads to a mediocre and frustrating life. It applies to the way you think, your mood, your goals, relationship, finances Living a good life is counter intuitive, you have to do against what the herd, society is doing your mind is unconsciously programmed to find emotionally security and comfort. you are always looking for the emotional short cut it takes study of your psychology to see that all you do applies to looking for comfort and security. This creates a lot of problems Before you can unwire it you have to realize, see it. you have to realize that you cant live a good life if you are seeking comfort and security. 6:00 Culture, society, etc, is designed to feed that emotional weasel in you longing for emotional security and comfort. you want no emotional easy life but a self ectualized life. this is the emotional hard way. Depression, dissatisfaction comes from emotional weaseling eg. school emotional difficult thing is to read the text book, taking hardes classes youtube: emotional difficult is to not click on stupid cat videos afraid: not feed into fear with more worry, not panic relationship: establishing clear lines of communication loosing weight: giving up sweets and going to gym 10:00 advertisement refers to your low consciousness weasel longing for emotional easiness arguement: considering that you are the wrong one debate: adopting the other side church: question all your beliefs about the church dating: walking up to a cute girl/boy and talking with criticism: taking criticism seriously and taking it as feedback life in generally: sitting down and turning off mind and meditating your emotional weasel resists that, he does not want to be bored by just sitting presenting information: presenting the facts objectively without eggagerating business: creating lots of value without asking for payment in return Taking a self help program: sitting down and doing every exercise that is told spiritual work: admit your own wishful thinking. saing that all ideas how spirituality works is bullshit, complete ficiton 17:30 life in general: questioning your culture. managing finances: serving money for retiring having sex: using a condom health: getting that scary lab test done, going to the gym business: not taking short cuts, building solid business on solid foundation life in general: not doing what your friends and family are doing angryness: staying mindful through that anger, not loosing yourself in it getting power: not abusing this power People would have incredible success, mood, relationships, health, business if they lived this principle this is no magic pill, it is a high quality advice Dont look for short cuts Leo is often not able to do the emotional difficult thing too society feeds your emotional lazy weasel you will have piece of mind, dying happy, being happy applying this principle if you are fed up with depression, anxiety, bad mood, bad relationship, whatever you are fed up with exercise doing the emotional most difficult Bite the bullet, dont look for magic solutions, do the emotional labor requred, its not bad as you think it is, it feels refreshing to your spirit Thanks Leo

28:12 - 4 Years Later Leo. Since learning this I worked out my body into excellent shape (6-pack and all), coming from a childhood where I didn't play sports. Got out of a toxic relationship and have since had a dating life beyond what I could have imagined. Stopped smoking weed and started meditating. And finally turned to pursuing my financial independence full time, using what you taught. [Plus a lil marketing advice from Eben ;)] Thanks Leo. This really was the key insight that helped spark some radical change!

[@Christianstoj]

Any other changes you can say?

[@userMikeforsure1997]

Happy for you! I wish i had a 6 pack and all lol XD

[@izumimustang]

I totally get this. Deeply. I used to be 400 pounds 8 years ago. During that time, in those moments, each second was agony because all I craved was ANY kind of pleasure. And because I couldn't get pleasure physically and I couldn't get it mentally because my self-image was shot, the only way I got it was from eating food. The same exact thing that was destroying me was the only source of pleasure I had. Now, I'm the healthiest I've ever been, not only physically, but mentally as well--which I found to be the most important of the two and the most conducive to a good, satisfying life. The longer I put up with emotionally difficult things (exercise, learning, socializing) the more I took a step towards improvement. The "better version of me" is smarter, a clearer thinker, sexier, more confident, adventurous. There is so much to enjoy in life on a difficult journey.

Dear Leo, The more I watch your videos the more certain I become that you, my friend, are a BEAUTIFUL specimen of human species, and the one actually (pun slightly intended) worth being called a role model...

I feel ya, I disagree on many bullshit in our culture, you do you & live your life on your own terms, at the end of the day it’s your life not their life

[@sanaullahjatoi4750]

Radwa...Leo here is talking about "questioning your culture" that does not necessarily mean "going against your culture". We should question all our beliefs including the religious one and as a result we may agree or disagree with the beliefs and take our course of action. For example I am a Muslim and I questioned most of my beliefs and then came to actually a conclusion that I am infact following the right religion and the beliefs.

[@Wanderer1]

When I first heard you speak, within the first minute I got the vibe that, this guy meditates for sure. Then at 15:05 you mention it. And yes I agree with you, that is the huge one - meditation is life changing and definitely the emotionally hardest thing to do when you witness your own mind.

[@Skovorodnikof]

Yeah, right? When you meditate, you can spot people who has very calm vibe so you know they meditate too :)

[@littlemisssunshi4910]

If people really put in the hard work and determination they would honestly live completely different lives. I love each and every one of Leo's videos because they are not filled with bullshit and sugar coating. He is realistic. And in the end of the day that is the most true advice one can follow. As a girl in university I have gone through really bad anxiety. It got to the point where I would avoid school because of panic attacks. After a while, as uncomfortable as it was I forced myself to go to the one place that would trigger my anxiety and challenge it. Now, because I made the conscious decision to not take the most easy and comfortable way, I no longer get anxious. If anyone is afraid or uncomfortable always challenge yourself! It will be so rewarding.

[@olivermeeden8340]

"Always do the one things that's emotionally the most difficult to do."

I can certainly agree with this one. The moment I begin to dread meditating, I immediately go and meditate.

This one was a huge reality check for me as I laying down with a mix of exhaustion and laziness after a long day and the emotionally difficult thing to do was do my engineering homework instead.

Leo, thank you so much for all you have done. You helped me out significantly all the way from the beginning of my first love (over a year ago) with the how to make a girl squirt video ;) And then through the break-up where I started denying your philosophies about love. I thought love was a fairy tale and we were "meant to be!" NOPE :D and over time really surrendering myself to what you have to say, because please take the following as a compliment: these are not your own philosophies, because you speak the TRUTH. You're helping me and giving me great insights into spiritual enlightenment (people literally think i'm crazy because all I feel is joy all the time.) Fuck society! I'll be extremely happy whether you answer or not, but just know you're doing great things. Much love - Alex

Hi Leo Im a student from Korea. I just deleted all of junk internet apps and SNS apps. I've been suffering from anxiety disorder for very long time and I just learned to accept and care myself and that was really helpful. However, I always thought that my life is boring and becoming something that I never wanted. But after watching your video, I finally feel like I managed to find the right way of my life. Yet I might still be anxious, depressed and gloomy, I will try my best to do my best to live 'my' life. You are my hero Leo. I feel like I just started to change my life. Thx!!!

This channel is a profound gift to all who find and use it. Personally I plan to discipline myself to get every last morsel of wisdom out of it that I can, share it with others and give back to Leo.

Hey Leo. I started to watch this video yesterday and I stopped, because you were telling things that I don't want to hear. I was avoiding this video, because I know it would suppose to assume my own fears, and that was veeery uncomfortable. So, I wake up to this morning and I solved the problem that was worrying myself. It was difficult, but well, you were right, it was also the key to feel better :)

[@Processor609]

Leo. as i progress through pyramid, Ive actually experienced this by accident by frustration. when u have that moment of "fUCK I fucking hate this shit but I'm NOT letting this goal go, (it means more to me than that) and I WANT to and WILL create the reality for this goal if I can't fit this goal into my fuckin comfortable little reality cabin" like for example I was sitting here making a beat and got pissed cuz I got into a hellish spiral of frustration, trying to let it go, along with enforcing creativity. more so led me to the main frustration of me not uderstandig why making beatss isn't easy (yet) still after since 2010 of constantly carving at my craft. its not anything physical. better equipment isnt guna help. so now the all mighty scary truth came up (as result of my firmness to find the actual truth about it) of me asking myself if I'm ever going to really make a any at al from music or not? then i had 2choices. figure out what's wrong, (go through the hard tough rugged roaded adventure) or just simply quit and perdue whatever "feels" better. but what broke this down to the next step was me coming back to my roots and realizing why I loved making beats in the first place. not necessarily money or for people to like my music (I've failed over and over again and have YET to sell my first beat), but as a way to express myself and ALSO me making me led me to a harsh awakening that I am very thankful for and honestly is my key to the universe into understanding frequency (obviously), vibration, energy, and most important of all that still I hold till this day is duality, understanding the connection between me and source, and how powerful expression is. all I have to say till now is thank you. I cry of appreciation of you. you have no clue how dramatically you've changed my life with such high insight that you spread helping people wake up. words can't describe the gratitude i feel of what you do for this world

[@amexconcept3764]

too long didn't read

[@munkeyzz69]

I SO AGREE OMG

[@fliu5282]

Yes. Leo has changed the way how i deal with my mom's constant neurotic-narcissistic-negative (NNN) person (cus i lived with her and as a lived-in home care assist which my brother pays an annual $25k salary to me to take care our mom). Leo has helped me of age 48 (has nothing if i die tmw) to grow and "not get into an explosive anger" with her when she is in her NNN state. Oh by the way, I owed my mom $525,000. She loaned me her "entire savings - this money over the last 7 yrs" and i lost them all in whatever bullshit business (real estate crash) i was doing. I had tremendous guilt including addiction (not drug but don't want to say) and all the bad stuff i don't want to mention. I first came to accept myself "by watching your videos" and learn to gradually stop the addiction, then accept my mom. Oh by the way, you are not going to believe this. But I am going to tell you like it happened. Just not too long ago, my mom realized she has this NNN problem, too. She, yes, during my father (who is a pastor now passed-away) baptism of a fellow church goer, my mom went up to the podium and in front of the audience and ask for "MY Forgiveness" and two legs fully knee down while washing my foot in front of 57 congregation members and with tears in her eyes saying, "I am so sorry to you son, please forgive my trespass".

Leo you are the savior of my life, a complete turn around, as i'm listening to this i teared up as i implemented ur principal in my psychic, i was having so much confusions which i never faced for the fear of getting it worse than ever regarding with my inner psychic on how unexplainable things work but now that i applied ur principle into it, i feel a huge burden inside my chest being lifted up and now gone, everything i have been ignoring somehow wishfully thinking in my subconscious mind it would go away is now almost gone, i have found a solution because of you, you can even write a whole book on this video topic, also i believe the order of ur videos each week are very back and forth (for example, the next week video kinda explains the confusion the previous week video could put it out) i really appreciate how you even think about ur viewers , it's 2am i'm going to meditate (going aganist my emotions) i've been wanting to start for months now, leo again thanks you

[@Piouskitune]

Thanks again for all your dedication and time you've spent to guide us towards a more actualized life. Your hard work is appreciated.

[@traianima]

Makes sense ..on paper But (there's allways one isnt't it?) As you listed all those emotional difficult things to do i realised that i was doind every one of them ... and yet i feel as empty and unhappy a ever before. The truth is that all that stoicism that is "doing the emotional difficult thing" only eroded my soul. Now, at 30, i'm begening to learn to do the exact oppsite, to do the emotional easy thing, to take a break, to be more tollerant with myself, to endulge every now and then... I now find that the key is to know yourself and to follow your intuition ... and of course dont forget about the proverbial moderation.

[@swiftedg]

I think you can have your cake and eat it too. For me, Leo's message is to take the emotional high road to start to untangle your nature of doing things the easy way. I think 'easy' here is relative to the person, so very subjective. However, if you have a different starting point, such as only doing the emotionally difficult thing (that's sounds like no one I know), maybe the opposite can work. Could your cultural background have something to do with this?

[@YZFMANIAC08]

Traian Constantin I did the same as you did and got severly burnout for 3 years straight, overworking, overdieting, overexcerising, overstudyingen. The key to a happy and fullfulling life is to do everything in moderation.....

[@YZFMANIAC08]

Daniel Webster be mindfull of your emotions and body. I recently discovered I had heart palpitations 24/7, and was out of breath after walking up the stairs.....not a good sign

[@crcaccounts]

I got the burnt out feeling after years of hard emotional work. I now think the key is not to avoid hard things, but to do everything in a relaxed state. For people who make hard things look easy, it is easy for them, because they're relaxed. In the past where I would ignore myself if something feels wrong or too difficult, I stop, relax, and go easier. The progression continues, but at a much slower pace and one that I can adapt to.

[@swiftedg]

+crcaccount I relate to this so much. I have caved so many times in the face of hardship. As you say, slowing down is key, it allows things to be workable. But the back of my mind says 'time is ticking, you aren't getting any younger, you've been through this before, why aren't you better, already?'. I think when we take these thoughts too literally, we get anxious and form negative opinions of ourselves.

[@MEYOUUS60]

You can have no idea what so ever how much your knowledge helps me in changing my life for better! I won't share publicly what place I was in when I stumbled upon your channel, but I will say that within just few weeks I moved FAR away from that place and I am not looking to go back, ever!

Who would not click a like on here! This is good shit!!!

Path of most resistance

[@LivT04]

I can't afford therapy. I've been in counseling before and I benefited from it. Your channel has been a God send for me. I'm starting fresh with a new job and perspective on life after a protracted mourning period over a tragic loss and these sessions give me the tools to do so. Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️

[@silviokanashiro3261]

Even when you try to set up a destination,goal in your life the emotion come and give you the option that is emotionally easy for you to chose. And when you ignore that and chose something from your heart now you gotta fight against your homeostasis. Appreciate your video Leo! I been watching your video for 1 year. I want to say thank you. And i hope you have peace in your heart

[@000naamia000]

you are awesome

[@crimemob87]

It is good stuff for my English, thanks

[@prateekbhardwaj9943]

yeah man, my English has been improved already, and also my accent and fluency have been improved by watching this channel.

[@MikkeMan]

Mine too! Learnt so much new words and now I'm just pausing the video and repeating everything Leo says to get better at pronouncing.

[@adamschaak9527]

Thank you, Leo. This video really resonates with some of the ways I feel and things I think about, but much more consciously thought out and expanded upon rather than passing thoughts. You have brought this to my forethought, and although it will not be easy, I only want to grow as a person.

[@axellesaupek9921]

You are amazing Leo, thank you for giving us this channel, I've done self help for decades and I can say your content is extraordinary.

[@reinaaqua685]

I love you and everything that you represent

[@PatrickBateman1987]

+Jack H no, thank you

[@suurhing3149]

+Jack H Thank you Jack, you are amazing

[@antonitescaro2728]

I believe that everything we do is to fill the void caused by existential anxiety. If you take the easy path, you are filling your life with instant gratification that will soon destroy you, if you live by this rule Leo is talking, you are filling the void with good stuff. Still, I believe humans need to evolve into something more than just filling the void. Even animals do that, when my dog gets bored he starts destroying the house. I don't know how we would evolve, maybe by having a clear purpose since the day you are born (lack of purpose causes the void). If we don't evolve, mankind will soon go extinct, by destroying our environment and/or ourselves with meaningless conflicts, wars and the culture of consuming shit to fill the void. What are your toughts on this Leo? Thanks for the awesome videos as always

[@ActualizedOrg]

You may be onto something ;)

[@bradjones5132]

I keep coming back to this video time and time again. What a gem!

[@HyperFocus410]

Big thanks for this. I've known this for a long time but a part of me still kicks against having to face discomfort in order to make progress. On one level, it almost feels like you're doing something wrong if moving towards your goals feels so uncomfortable or painful. But I like the way you've put it here. It's a law that's counterintuitive. You have to recognise and live by it no matter how counterintuitive it feels.

[@FocusMrbjarke]

Am i the only one who haven't seen a single cat video?

[@mlb953359]

Leo if I follow this single principle, will it be my ticket to the self-actualized life?

[@ActualizedOrg]

In looking for a ticket you failed to follow this single principle ;)

[@mlb953359]

+Actualized.org Hahaha I see what you did there. Leo I have applied this principle on and off with dating and my school work, I study at UC Berkeley, and I have seen results in grades and with girls; however, I hate to describe it this way but before I started to see results I have been utterly exhausted and extremely fearful. But I keep re-watching this video, and I repeat to myself everyday "At any given moment always do the most emotional difficult thing to do." I'm even thinking of tattooing this on my arm. It has work but when a new day comes I feel a lot of resistance to consistently apply this rule. It's a clean slate as new challenges arises and I go through the pain and fear again of studying or talking to cute girls. I feel like I'm at war with myself - described by Steven Pressfield's The War of Art. How can I train myself at doing the most emotionally difficult thing at any given moment without feeling painful resistance? I do not want to interpret these feelings as pain or fear anymore. But maybe that is it? Maybe in absolute fear and pure exhaustion I can achieve the life I want? What do you think?

[@GodlessShredder]

+Marlon McKnight See the pain and fear for what they are. Weakness leaving your body and mind. Obstacles to the life you want falling behind you.

[@floflo2514]

+Marlon McKnight The emotionally difficult thing isn't called difficult for no reason, you see? ;) It's supposed to be challenging and painful every day. That's how you are gonna grow. The comfortable option won't lead you to success. And it's normal, we all have to experience this in one way or another. Don't give up! :D

[@ahmadelhamshary62]

I think we should use this method from time to time to not let ourselves get soft and settled in our comfort zones

[@jamiealtamirano4962]

This is probably the deepest advice I have ever listen, too! Leo I def. enjoy listening to what you say and teach, I hope that you continue because it is very good content!

[@user-em9zj9hy7p]

Leo, I am having a crucial moment right now in my life and FINALLY going up, struggling my demons. I have known about your channel long ago, but started to watch your videos just recently and OMG. Its like you almost describe my life and thats what I need as practical advices at this moment. I used to think that Eckhart Tolle was everything I need to turn my life around, then recalled Castaneda and found myself thinking "His books even deeper, I understand what he is saying". Funny that I has never read all of the books by those authors, telling myself that I am smarter, than that and I am having my own vision. And that is partially true, because you will not find a recipe to YOUR life from others (doesn't matter Buddhism, Islam, Christianity, Tolle, Castaneda, etc) but you can use so much from some. They will give you practical advices but you have to build your own way to awarness and happiness...and that is true, but I have used it as an excuse, I guess. And I have been killing myself for too long, and got to the critical point as I said... Well, I got carried away a bit. But lets talk buisness. The reason why I write all this is because, I am started to work on myself, and do know one person who you have actually helped, but the problem is that we do know english. You want it to be worldwide, I do, for sure. I personally know people who are interested in awarness and workinng on themselves and I know people to whom your work will be helpful and ACTUALLY will help as I think and there is a huge amount of people that I dont know but who need your help all over the country. There is only 10 videos of your work in russian and it has been this way since last year... even more. I am not interested in financial side of this job and dont know how youtube works and how all of that is done(I am just an engineer at BIM technology). But I do believe that this kind of work as helping people, may just be actually my life purpose (helping people using my vision and there is a long journey of working on myself and I am at very very beginning). And, can you imagine, my friends who are more into music thinking of building a music studio and turning theirs life around and this might be very helpful to my goals over here. Thats one of the ways how The Universe works when you are doing the right thing :-) Contact me. I do wanna help and motivated internally. [e-mail].

[@calmdown15]

If it's one simple rule why's the video almost 40 minutes long?

[@Astfresser]

+calmdown15 because you get more money with more viewing time i guess

[@RaGePr00fs]

+calmdown15 dude i was actually expecting it to be longer, details make a big difference

[@calmdown15]

***** Yeah, but very rarely get to finish them cause his videos are so long. Not trying to be rude, love your channel and all the wisdom you drop Leo!

[@brianlongo1397]

you're a lazy person with no attention span.

[@robcarhood]

+Brian Longo More a person with an opinion that can question things if he feels that way...

[@LostSoulAscension]

The emotionally hard thing to do is: not use curse words in your videos. ; )

[@gabyampudia9876]

Thank you, Leo. I can't stop watching every single video! You rock, man!

[@bistro4]

Leo, excellent video. I've always had this vague hunch that doing the opposite of what I would normally tend to do creates the most personal growth, and today, you've confirmed that hunch.
