Bcuz common self help stuff tend to be unrealistically demanding of unmotivated people. Using formal research data may be good in logic, but we're not robots who can be expected to do things that CEOs or prodigies like to do that makes them successful according to research, and we may feel like a failure when we can't fulfill those cold, data-based methods. This channel's approach I think is more like sharing the insights & ideas that an ordinary man gets in his own journey & experience, so it becomes more relatable to us common people who can relate that life isn't that easy. He shows understanding & empathy of those ordinary feelings. We're only human, and I think his approach is human, that's why it's more intimate & relatable like a heart-to-heart.

So yesterday I was eating with my family when all of a sudden a “crew mate” broke in through the front door. He had a ski mask on and a gun which was sus, but he a good skin. My father told us all to hide so we don’t get killed by the obvious imposter. I could see him from my hiding spot under the table and he looked sus. So I told my dad “DAD YOU THINK HE IS THE IMPOSTER? HE IS SUS!” I yelled as loud as I could. The imposter found us hiding and shot my father five times. The imposter was so dumb, who kills someone in front of crew mates? I ran to call the emergency meeting by grabbing my phone off the table when I heard my mother get shot and scream for me. Lol she was so bad at among us. My teammates sucked and were dying to the worst Imposter. So I called the emergency meeting and for some reason a S.W.A.T team rammed down the door and killed the imposter. Lol that’s not how the game goes, I think they were hacking.

If life allowed for 3rd person perspective, I swear I'd be much more inclined to treat life like a game. The ability to disassociate yourself from the games we play allow us to make decisions that purely benefit us in that moment or down the line. The always first person perspective makes things so personal and forces us to "be the player" at all times trapping us in the emotional and mental struggles that ultimately prevent us from making the best decisions to succeed.

@Prisoner of the Internet Honestly, just simply breathe and focus on the act of inhaling and exhaling. It will help with disconnecting yourself from your thoughts. You can always listen to natural sounds, (many different videos on KZbin) search up guided meditations to help with that. Deepak Chopra explains it well in his book ‘the seven spiritual laws of success.’ But I always go back to the simple act of breathing, and focusing on the inhalation, and exhalation. Feeling the air flow through your body. And listen to any natural sounds. Wind through the trees. The crash of waves. The chirps of birds. The roar of an engine as it goes on by. It’s all natural sounds. I hope this helps! I know it’s a long process, but stick with it and it should eventually help. Build a routine by doing just 2-5 minutes of meditation daily It’ll increase overtime.

Not gonna lie...I needed this. I really, really did. I am currently on my third year of college, studying something I personally believe I do not really wish to pursue that much, but am also on an academical situation which got me away from keeping the opportunity to essentially seek opportunities in a way that was viable. From thinking "I finally made it...I'm finally here, after all the work.." I ended at feeling as if I was at the verge of losing it all. My family's faith in me, my "happy" and extroverted behavior, my academic "ranking"...essentially everything I had been working for ever since youth. And for the very first time in my life, in this specific situation, I felt...essentially...powerless. Alone. Regretful. I felt an indescribable amount of pain that would never leave. That emotion is still there, however, recently I've come to realize I cannot give up, nor stop moving forward, seeking that sentiment of tranquility and stillness (in a good sense, of course). This video...oddly enough, sort of helped to the point where I'm tearing up XD. I don't know how to say this, I...guess I just really needed to hear this.

About the "practice fifteen minutes" or "write 100 words," you'll probably end up doing more than that, because it's so little, and you'll get into the swing of doing something. But even if you only do the goal, you'll still be winning.

This is a really good video for me. I have several autoimmune diseases and it’s always been so hard to leave my comfort zone. Video games are much easier and less painful for me than doing more physical things (walking, exercise etc), but thinking of them like power-ups like you mentioned is very cool and motivational. I’m going to rewatch this when I hit another wall in life, but this really motivated me to challenge my comfort zone. Thank you for making it!

Fml this was probably one of the most eye-opening videos I’ve ever watched. Thanks for this, Joey. I mean, as a hardcore gamer for over 15 years, I’ve definitely heard of the concept of gameifying life to make it tolerable or easier. But the way you explained the concepts makes it so easy to even just execute. This is on the level of Mark Manson, James Clear-esque insight. 👏🏽 Turning my Reminders app (which I recently started incorporating into my life) into a video game quest log as I write this!!

I've been using Habitica where you can actually create a character and level up as you complete habits and other tasks that you set for yourself. Their slogan is literally "Gamify your life." Chat with other people, join "guilds" of different types of ways to make your real-life better, and battle monsters (with others in the party you join or create) as you complete your tasks. It's almost like D&D without rolling dice. Your attacks depend on how many of your tasks were completed that day. Another way to add video games to real life 😁

Especially if they see through the whole progress of the "game". It would be really cool to develop a method that shows people 1 objective at a time. But not the great picture. At least in Hungary where I'm from people tend to get really overwhelmed by greater vision. But this method really works well for leader type of people I believe. Who can see the greater vision and is not overwhelmed by it. Amazing Video!!!

I agree with most of this. I think it is always good to have a hope to improve oneself and that things will get better and not only that to have fun with the small incremental improvements. I think a really big picture point or idea is that if one is satisfied internally with just the mere effort of trying then even if the results are not exactly what one expects they will satisfied they made the steps on the journey. Focus on process and enjoy the process. The rewards and the the results are side effects and you will enjoy the fact that you got to play. The best games are the ones where I was having fun the whole way through and the journey instead of grinding for a big payoff at the end from beating that one final boss. I enjoyed all bosses, enemies, side quests, excursion, along the way.

I've played video games for pretty much my entire life and only until recently did I really figure out why I was always so hooked: video games are probably the single most effective thing to trigger a flowstate for many people, and it's similar to what you described in this video. 1. Clear goals 2. Immediate feedback 3. The challenge to skills ratio Although it's a challenge, if people can keep those 3 things in mind when they're attempting to improve themselves in real life, they'd start to see that the game of life is really worth playing.
I had this video on a open tab for a week, so glad I've watched it now, so incredible! Plus there's some strong, really strong phrases that I had to keep with me! "When you overcome resistance, you absorb its power. And the greater the resistance, the greater the power."
