This speaks to me.

Thanks man stay great

[@MichaelDrift_]

It’s so much easier to define what makes you excited than what makes you happy. They say your dopamine (happy hormone) is highest moments before your receive the thing that’s going to make you happy, not when receiving it.

[@retropetroleum]

Dayum, Captain Sinbad really giving out hearts like a baller

[@CaptainSinbad]

its what we do

[@sebastianbrehmer1224]

I´ve been watching your content since the begging of the lockdown and trying to get out of my depressive state. I had a pretty though weed addiction, porn addiction, social media addicton and fast food addiction and pretty much lost myself through the entire year. I´m pretty happy I found a therapist and am able to have my life sort of under control, and its contet like this that really inspires me and motivates me to imporve myself everyday. Thank you so much, and much love from Vienna/Austria.

[@IsaacJoshi]

Good luck on your journey. Glad that you are making good steps :)

[@filhanislamictv8712]

Good luck buddy.. I am in the same state..i told some one about about pmo addiction this year. Am trying to better too

[@ajmalnajath1399]

You're not alone homie. Greatness is coming. Keep enduring🤜🤛

[@amoghbarakol4723]

I’ve been in the same boat as you are. It’s tough to get out of but it is necessary so that you can continue to live & experience all that life has to offer. I wish you the very best.

[@kevNutella]

Jordan Peterson has some great stuff man! It certainly helped me in my journey

[@filhanislamictv8712]

Life style Design. Loved the book the 4 hour work week

[@CaseyBurnsInvesting]

Striving, dreaming, and hoping is the a big part of the fun of self improvement. We can’t ever forget to enjoy the striving and the goals.

[@WilliamJonesChess]

Best Moments - Dont chase happiness, chase excitement. - your dreams have to be unrealisitic. - A millionaire is about doing interesting things, not about owning enviable things

[@stephen-finance]

Breaking down long term goals into 6 or 12 month phases is a great way of helping us to feel more fulfilled, productive, and keeps our striving more sustainable.

[@tinaperez7393]

Reminds me of a phrase I've heard "passion is energy - where your passion is is where your energy is".

[@IamJustARandom]

Considering the fact that I have literally been on KZbin for most of my life, I can only count on 2 hands on how many times I have left a comment on a video. You can consider this comment a rare occurrence for me and hopefully a special one for you. I'm 22 and currently seeing a therapist, made good progress with him and I'm now barely starting to understand how I'm supposed to live life. When I watched the first 5 minutes of this video you opened up my eyes a little bit on how I should be thinking about my own life. The 'Gun to your head' scenario you mentioned really kind of made me think about the fact that I don't and wouldn't take such crazy ideas and put them into action even when we all know that we have a countdown timer to our death. Then I said to myself "why wouldn't I?". Just from your example alone, you made me self inquire about this topic on a level deeper than ever before and this means a lot to me. Thank you Nikhil for giving me a step forward in life.

[@tinaperez7393]

Reminds me of Steven Covey's "happiness is the pursuit of a worthwhile goal". We are happy when we are working toward something we're looking forward to accomplishing. We need things to work toward and look forward to.

[@IsaacJoshi]

Fear setting is an amazing practice, equally as important as setting your goals.

[@caedengoering]

Sinbad “what if someone came up to you, put a gun against your head, and told you to complete your 10 year goal in 6 months?” Me “is he talking about Fight Club again?” 3 seconds later *scene from Fight Club*

[@CaptainSinbad]

hahaha

[@spiritflair5163]

5:25 You are so right.❤ But now I can't unsee it lol so every time I'm happy without knowing,I'll know I'm happy and it will mes it up

[@shhkhanna]

“Even this shall pass” helps during the tough times and is a sad reality during the happy times

[@stephen-finance]

You got to enjoy the journey, not just the destination. It's a cliche for a reason, it's true.

[@martyclement]

You're channel is amazing Sinbad! Your videos opened me up to stoic philosophies and Marcus Aurelius. Keep on doing what you do!

[@akshayelangovan7764]

Follow excitement and not happiness is such a powerful vision that I relate to more than how I relate to my cousins

[@johnmaciel]

Discovered your channel 4 months ago its been inspiring and even pushed me to start posting some KZbin videos finally after 5 years of waiting to do it. This video gave me the clarity I needed to make another life changing move. Can't thank you enough for the insight and perspective your videos give me. Great job!

[@Pheonix-c]

Captain your every video solves many of doubts and gives motivation to do something extra in life rather than living a comfortable and Normal life 🙏

[@KevinYeePharmD]

This was such a well done video. Not only did I appreciate the b roll and story telling, but you've inspired me to pick up the four hour work week again. Thanks 🙏

[@jameswhelchel102]

I've always been confused by this idea of chasing happiness as a goal. To me, being happy is feeling like I'm doing enough, feeling like I'm working as hard as I could be in life, no matter where I am at that moment. I work a job, I work towards my goals, and I try to be a good person. I am "happy." My problem now is wondering how to enjoy life day by day like a kid again, which I believe is where the excitement factor comes into play. Live every day like tomorrow is Christmas I think you put it one time. Anyways, keep up the good work!

[@firozdanish7202]

I'm so glad I found your channel

[@ramezbishara6400]

this is now my fav video by you man - thank you for this reminder

[@jararacain]

I love your videos Captain! Sending good vibes from Mumbai. Keep them coming.

[@jararacain]

Also want to add, finding Tim Ferris' podcast changed my life in 2017, introducing me to guys like Jocko, Naval, David Goggins and the likes. Thanks for the reminders.

[@Lordnest]

Week after week with top notch content. 🙌🏼

[@RealJamieBarclay]

If you're only working towards something for the end result, I can guarantee you're gonna spend a lot of your life being unhappy.

[@shreyasbyndoor56]

That was a great reminder for me about the influential book 4 hour workweek. It would also be really interesting to see how you filled out the exercises Tim talks about!

[@thelastchimp]

sinbad, thanks for this. you made me realise that I thought I wanted happiness but I really want new challenges and things to look forward to! truly helped with putting things into perspective and will help with my interview tomorrow!

[@techmk1]

Great video! I agree deadlines and a sense of urgency can really help tasks/goals to be completed faster.

[@amandamate9117]

after long time, finally a really laser sharp practical video

[@KenyaChestnut]

Really great video. I’m going to have to go back and read the 4 hour work week!

[@experi106]

I subliminally got you to make this video 😭😭.. the first sentence you uttered has been on my mind for the past 2 weeks now.

[@fitfuelplanner]

Nikhil, thank you man for this video. “Chase excitement, not happiness” is a quote I’ll remember for the rest of my life. 1 year ago, I wished to be a Software Engineer. I achieved it but I’m not happy. So this year my goal is to build a business to replace my job. I wonder how I will feel after I accomplish it?

[@russimario]

Nikhil, I've been watching your videos for months. I love to see how you progress and improve. This one is literally a gem, outstanding! Thanks a lot!

[@DerekCully]

Gotta start somewhere...why not, now? One of my favorite questions.

[@AndyLifeInVideo]

I remember working at Wal-Mart and seeing 4 Hour Workweek in the book rack. I read a few pages while on break, bought the book, and walked out. While Spicy Melon, the internet business of sharing recipes online that I came up with while reading 4HWW, never came to pass, so much of what I learned about being a freelance video editor and shooter as well as a KZbinr I can trace back to that once fateful day of seeing a random book in a Wal-Mart.

[@RJGURRI]

Absolutely gem of a video.. Saw ur channel after long.. Have loved your journey sinbad.. I can relate to it..keep these coming bud.. God bless you and Tim ferris too

[@HasanKhan20]

0:35 .. completely agree. Balance is everything. While we shouldn't be doing things for instant gratification, we shouldn't delay it to the point that gratification never really comes haha

[@petereinert7581]

Wow, this was just outstanding!

[@ConfidenceGold]

As I see you deleloping channel so fast. I joined about 2 months ago and already started nofap and my own self-delelopment cycle. Thank you, brother.

[@RakeshKumar-pi9lw]

Yup! I need excitement in my life. Thanks for the advice :)

[@yaserjubayer]

Hopefully this video changes my life as well. Good one captan

[@CaptainSinbad]

I hope so man. But nothing changes life like taking action.

[@peterbateman8546]

My god, I read that same quote in the 4 hour work week in 2014, and it completely changed my life as well, so surreal!

[@nicoleenesse]

“My Journey Toward Death” bahahahhaha

[@alexpineda3422]

Your best vid in a while. Thanks!

[@jeweltan9223]

Yea we are happy because we are anticipating something

[@TriNguyen-mb7bn]

Great advice for this Monday morning - this one hit me different. Do what excites baby! 🙌

[@rabindraadhikari4307]

O' Captain!! My Captain!

[@anthony7960]

Wow I never really considered how chasing “happiness” is a fools errand. Excitement really is the most tangible high we can chase. I think love and appreciation are up there on things we can strive for as well. The feeling you get when you’re surrounded by the ones you love the most is very real and primal. One thing I still wonder is how much suffering from your job is too much? Some level of suffering is needed to achieve success but at what point is it too much?

[@ThePathOfEudaimonia]

Being in medical school and becoming a MD has been full of sacrifices, but has given me much, even though I can't say it's my perfect passion. It has given me many things, including experiences, grit, personal (and professional) development, a larger meaning, and knowledge and practical skills. That's really, really valuable, and all these aspects are part of my identity, my life, and open a lot of (other) doors into the future. I wouldn't have a made a different choice, even though it's not my absolute and only passion.

[@borism.5375]

It's been great growin up while watching you develop yourself, grow, and ripen.

[@Del_Puerto_Musica]

Great video! Really hits the spot! Also that second idea of "Fear Setting" reminds me of the Stoic exercise of "Premeditatio Mallorum"

[@kritisanghi3710]

freaking brilliant video. thank you for your guidance, captain sinbad.

[@TheAadeshthapa]

Awesome video as always Captain. Love love love the outros !!!

[@DylanSeto]

The guests Tim Ferris has on his podcasts always have something interesting to say, i definitely recommend it for anyone looking to improve themselves!

[@Carl-FriedrichWelker]

Love the video👍🏻the content was just awesome

[@TicketToLiterature]

My excitement is when you upload these type of videos.... Packed with new ideas and practical information. Great Stuff 👏

[@firsthandaccount]

Steve Jobs lived by a philosophy, he would ask himself everyday “If today was my last day on earth, would I be happy with what I did today” and when the answer was no for too many days in a row, he knew he had to change something

[@kevinson2762]

Bro thank you, you are killing it with these videos fkn love it!

[@dragons318]

Only we can change our lives, all we need is a little push

[@ahmadirfan8649]

this gave me new perspective. thank you🥰

[@undefined.infinity3106]

yeah, you're raising the voice that we should think about

[@ILikeGuns1992]

As someone who once felt true happiness for quite a while, I can't disagree more. It had absolutely nothing to do with excitement. It was like I was high without drugs, so content and just knew that everything is gonna be alright.

[@alpeshdevle2047]

You are just amazing brother!! Love the way you talk. Take care, Love from India 🇮🇳❤️

[@tinaperez7393]

Financial freedom provides a feeling of security. Only a certain amount of money can free you from the fear of and suffering from the problems that not having enough money can cause. Maybe i gotta rewatch this video a couple times. 😜

[@jeweltan9223]

When I was 16 in high school. I set all these academic and extra cocurricular goals for myself. Definitely hard times, but I know I felt full. At the end of the year, I finally reached my goals. But I didn't feel happy at all when I was at the end of it. I felt a sudden empty hollowness in me. And what was next is pursuing an eating disorder to fill myself up again. The working towards that future end goal makes you happy but reaching that future end goal it isn't happiness

[@sodha3695]

Thank you Nikhil. Thank you for inspiring us to do better every day. I appreciate it.

[@greitasopelis5542]

Something that bob Marley once said has stuck with me concerning money when he got asked if he is rich. And in jest. It was the fact that he isn't money rich. But he is life rich. And since then I've kind of tried to look around and see the richness I have in life. Not in terms of money but, health, relationships, quality of time, beautiful places, relationship with god. And all the other beautiful richness that life brings.

[@jannes4742]

I normally do not write comments, but this video was amazing. It´s such a good framework on how to approach things less insecure. I did not watch KZbin for a longer time, but man. You´ve improved so much. This made my evening, after a long day of studying. 😍 Keep Grinding, Greatness is coming :P Greetings from Germany

So important to have a balance, I invest for my family's future but still set aside "fun money" to live life and make memories while I'm still able to enjoy them.

[@TiMon-Experience]

I can foresee watching Nikhil's video then picking up the book or reading through multiple ideas Though something I want to do. He is providing a source of motivation as well 🙌

I really like the idea of thinking in terms of excitement instead of happiness

[@IntrigueKK]

dopamine and endmorphin u can explain excitement and hapiness in that way also ✌

[@prajjwalsingh5884]

Hey Captain! Just a suggestion - Could you summarise the points at end of video. I believe it will help people more in terms of retaining the knowledge in a better way (yes I know that we could pause the video and note the points along the whole video but people are lazy and summarization would help people feel much satisfied as the would get the feeling that they have invested there time well).

[@danielfaller5617]

He puts as much value in one minute as a lot of youtubbers in one video.

[@TedPatrickBaird]

I’ve been wanting to travel the world and make videos for years. I kept putting goals in my way (need $100k invested, need $5k passive income, etc) that masqueraded as excuses for not pursuing videography. Two weeks ago I was fired from my corporate job at Amazon while traveling Mexico. At first it was devastating but after the initial shock, I felt free. I took this as a sign to go all in on KZbin and haven’t looked back since.

[@CaptainSinbad]

thats badass man, soon you'll be glad it happened
