And I'm glad. Time was well spent watching the video, thank you. Author, shoot more! @@thejayalto

[@rickhiggins]

My friend, it is refreshing to hear someone speak truth in such a down to earth manner. KZbin gurus come and go, to have someone just say what is ... well, it is wonderful. Thank you.

[@thejayalto]

Appreciate it, Rick. That’s the goal so I’m glad I’m getting there!

Well said

[@GIGADEV690]

When you showed the book "Secret", I left the video *but I had hope in you and you didn't disappoint.

[@thejayalto]

I think a few might. But it’s worth the wait.

[@MattHadouken]

My favorite channel by far

[@ShDayandMal]

Love the vids really inspiring every time I click on one

[@TheRelaxingRide]

Earl Nightingale, "The Strangest Secret" explains it all and outlines an action plan to create new habits required. Yeah still sounds bonkers but is the version that appeals most to my rational mind lol

[@battleraptile]

My niche is wildly different to yours but I discovered your channel last week and you’ve quickly become one of my fave channels to tune in to. I like your perspective on things. Ty fam

[@lutybuiati]

I really like the message here. I don't believe in law of attraction, so I would probably stop watching if I hadn't seen another comment saying that it was worth it. And yeah, it was worth it! Very good insight 🙂👏

[@MaxwellNichols]

Love this take! I figured law of attraction works mostly by shifting your locus of control and increasing mindfulness. A lot of the practices are very meditative and gratitude based. Its a strange pseudoscience because I don't think its actual detrimental to practice so long as you remain proactive

[@AaronShu]

Profound insights. Great delivery. I could watch your videos over and over again! 👌

[@LoFiChillandBeatsVibe]

You're absolutely right, Jay. There is ZERO evidence that thoughts ALONE can materially influence a person's life. Those thoughts have to be backed up with action, and continually mentally focusing on a specific goal can (help) act as sort of a mental GPS to help guide us along the road to our goal. Then surrounding ourselves with people who want to help encourage and support us is another big factor. Ultimately, we then have to reverse engineer our path to that goal, and make sure every step we take along the way leads us in that direction. There's always going to be external circumstances that may get in our way from time to time, but ultimately, it's like the old adage says: "Whether you think you can, or you think you can't... you're probably right." So I know that you and I are going to make it. I'm with you.

[@loricat5606]

Very well said!

[@Daniel_L.M.]

Really good video 👍

[@NateOnlineee]

Great video! I think an important piece to this is also simply the action one takes towards their statement / prediction. Simply making a prediction means nothing without the action required to achieve that prediction / goal

[@kaalraam]

Jay, I didn't know you are a big deal! I've been watching everything you've put out and then YT recommends me an interview you did. In any case, keep it up. I'm using your ideas in my own channel

[@3Prayt]

I understood a few days ago, how good of a timing. I think it was Kant who proposed that we influence the way we see the world, we're active participants of our perception. We're interpretative animals. It's crazy, but it kind of works.

[@mikeielOFFICAL]

yet another banger 1 mil at the end of the year fs i belive in you

[@noobvsprominecraftbuild]

Marcus Tullius Cicero, presented the following story. One Diagoras, a nonbeliever in the gods, was shown painted tablets bearing the portraits of some worshippers who prayed, then survived a subsequent shipwreck. The implication was that praying protects you from drowning. Diagoras asked, “Where were the pictures of those who prayed, then drowned?”

[@duncanclarke]

When you pulled out The Secret I almost clicked off, but you roped me back in with the acknowledgement that it's pseudoscience and brought it all together towards the end. These are hands down the best meta-youtube videos I've seen on this platform. Looking forward to what you do next.

[@thejayalto]

Made my day. Thank you, Duncan!

[@Dancing_Alone_wRentals]

Superbus! I'm going to watch you rise to 950,000..... .( I'll have to go cut the grass and take out the garbage....but I'll come back for the 1,000,000 video release)

[@LaytonObserves]

Love with woo-woo mixed with rationality. Great video

[@max_imus]

I found your channel 2 or 3 videos ago. I like your work but this time wanted to give my two cents on your storyline. Like others I almost clicked out at first because it was going to the pseudo-science way... But I stayed (because I like your previous videos). I believe you video could perform better (losing fewer people along the way) buy font loading with the real question! "These guys have predicted their success, is that due to the law of attraction, luck?" In one sentence, we need to understand that you will have a wide approach. Also, the use of survivorship bias is great and is one of the key answers. But for people who don't know I think teasing it in the intro would have huge benefit. I don’t often comment, please don't take my comment the wrong way. Like you I am trying to put out great content and I know feedback is helpful.

[@dev.swarnakar]

I've been wondering the same lately, thank you for the wonderful explanation!

[@thejayalto]

My pleasure!

[@ElementaryBrewingCo]

Great thoughts!!! Subbed, only 995,000 ish to go!!! Seriously though, your content is solid so best of luck to you, cheers 🍻

[@Dalia_Paints]

Great video once again! Glad I stayed till the end for the 3 conclusions.

[@TheGingerGiant.]

I was always told that once you've made a clear statement, a clear goal. The universe then aspires to achieve it for you.

[@TechTroublemaker]

You will never achieve what you don't strive for. I believe this works along the same limes.

[@PuqYT]

I always get so motivated by your video’s, keep on going man ❤️

[@lakelandtrailrunner]

Dude I’m loving your content, compelling and engaging I’ll keep coming back for more! 🤘🏻🙂

[@acfitweightloss]

I bet the secret has ruined more lives than it has helped 😂

[@arekspevack]

Your reasoning makes so much sense. Well done, and yes, you'll achieve that million - my oracle can foresee it ;-)

[@thejayalto]

Well, thank goodness for that

[@StrangeGingero]

Man you definitely have a sense of your own style in your videos. You should definitely keep going.

[@thejayalto]

Not stopping any time soon

[@65Lightskin]

Very clear, very down to earth. Love it. I have a question, did you write a script for this video or just speak of the cuff?

[@luker1ng]

Awesome video... now how to do it.. write a check, make a video, or do something else... lol!

[@agustinhernandez8461]

That's very true. You've got a new subscriber and let me tell you the thumbnail and title combo was great, it's the second time youtube shows this video to me and I couldn't help but click, are you fan of Colin and Samir by any chance? Seeing some of their graphics style and creative process into yours

In April of 2020, I uploaded my 1 million subscriber special when I had 411 subscribers. 4 Years later, I'm still not even remotely close, but one day I know I'll change that video from unlisted to public.

[@thejayalto]

I love this. Looking forward to watching it.

Keep going Mike! I love your "90's commercial" video! It could even be an 80's commercial. It seemed like they all had that "VCR vibe" back then...

Hi Jay, Watching your videos very closely since you started. I wanted to start a channel for a long time now and i wanted to know if you can tell me about your: Camera Lighting setup And Editing software you are using And estimated budget for good quality setup. Im not an english speaker also. So itll be great if you can give me few inputs regarding that❤

You say "there are thousands who boldly predict their future fame and never get close." Can you find examples? You named 3 successes. How about 3 who didn't succeed. Seems fair and balanced, no?

[@TudorIrimescu]

Will hijack the thread and tell you that I can sense heavy resistance to allowing your gut to call the shots. You are dancing with the thought of some higher forces at play but your mind is still resisting that trying to rationalize something that cannot be rationalized. Mind tries to override gut with logic. Logic is a lower level of decision making. Trick is, this cannot be proven, only experienced, and it's the reason why most have resistance to it. My professional career cannot be attributed to anything else other than some sort of manifestation, that's when I went from all sciencey guy to someone that can experience the unexplained marvels. It doesn't mean it's not "scientific", it's just that modern science hasn't caught up to this stuff yet. Also wait until you find out how closely linked the occult and old sciences are. Issac Newton translated the Hermetic Emerald Tablet, Pythagoras was part of a cult heavy into numerology. Even in modern times, Steve Jobs went to India to learn astrology and numerology. It's a modern development that the occult and the world of science are separate entities.

I hate the way you say "Bye". It almost makes me want to unsub. Please come up with a better outro.

[@VoloBuilds]

Love it! I made a video a couple of weeks ago that compliments the ideas you presented here where I discussed why goals don't matter - and arrived at the same conclusion: it really boils down to following your inner drive and *doing* the work: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4nZpZeMoNOnbtk

[@thejayalto]

Will check it out. I’m going to make another video on success soon. Such an interesting topic.

[@coscorrodrift]

Dope vid. I was already thinking about the red dot plane picture when you pulled out the Secret lmao. Something I've always thought would be interesting would be to highlight "figures of success" who've reached success without predicting it. i think on youtube there's plenty of ppl who just were trying to do one thing, then stumbled upon another they liked more. I think MrBeast is in fact someone like this, but he always had the overarching "KZbin" background that shadows the fact that he's basically tried a ton of different shit so it sounds great to tell. But for example, I follow a KZbinr called Caroline Winkler who failed at her acting career, and accorrding to her she gave it her all, she hustled hard at it, but just eventually gave up when she realised she actually started to dread the process, that casting call cycle, going to auditions etc, so she went to coding school , got a job there, and then while working made a youtube channel about interior design. And now that's her full time thing. I like MrBeast but I think for me it's much more important to hear about figures like her (and i love to watch people like her on youtube) to balance ambition with realness and life constraints, etc. Another side of that coin that would be interesting to highlight would be the people who did name this goal very clearly, but just failed. I think the easiest way to do this would be looking at money, there are millions and millions of people who i'm sure said something like "if i'm not a millionaire by 30..." etc who just are still away from their initial stated goal, who've (rightfully) changed their goal now, etc etc. And for what it's worth, I think your goal somewhat makes sense, i'm trying to articulate it mine but I'm having more trouble than you in doing it that succintly. You say you want to "hit a million subs going against the meta" and I respect that a lot, and I really vibe with that , but I'm not sure if what i'm doing is compatible with the million subs. I think in my case I would say that i want to reach the 1000 right people really deeply. And I think that is your actual goal and that the 1000000 subs thing is your way of reaching that, from what i see on your pinned tweet. I'd like to know what are you doing on the side of youtube, or what you did before. Not sure if you 've spoken about it somewhere else but i'm curious to see what your "gameplan" is
