I finally finished college which due to financial reasons was hell to get through. I was never able to balance fitness, college, work and my relationship with my gf while living with my parents. I had to make the decision to finish college no matter what. It’s been difficult to decide to get back in shape no matter what but this clip reminded me that I have the ability to make that decision.

If you tell you film crew to shoot in 4K UHD then you get rid of the DCI 2:0 aspect ratio (The thin black lines top and bottom). If you really want to do something cool cinematically you could try shooting 2x anamorphic on full frame open gate. Might be weird but one could experiment and see what you think.

[@KH-dp7ip]

"The path of the exceptional person is one of an exception, which means you are not with other people... rather than bemoaning it, see it as an indicator that you are on the right path."... the irony of that statement, is that path looks the same for a loner that accomplishes nothing, despite his best intentions or choice of vehicle. So is that really an indicator of being on the right path (or in the right vehicle)? Or is it simply a method to convince yourself not to give up before success materializes - while the truth is - you don't really know if you are on the right path (or in the right vehicle)?

[@psychologyofphotography]

Wow, this conversation is a goldmine of wisdom! 🌟 The analogy of facing challenges as slaying dragons on the path to the treasure really hit home for me. It's refreshing to hear the honesty about the initial struggles and the reminder that the beginning is the hardest part. Alex's perspective on protecting your passion and becoming the hero of your own story resonates deeply. I'm curious, how do you all navigate the tough times and stay motivated on your journey?

Yes Alex Hormonzi is on gear whether that is TRT as he admitted or he could be taking something else as well. But it still takes a lot of hard work to build this physique. I am natural and would never take steroids as it is not worth destroying your health in later life. No amount of millions in the bank can repair damaged heart muscle! Hopefully Alex realises this but hats off to the work he puts in the gym!

[@wesleydaniels40]

Not trying to troll you but TRT doesnt damage your heart, hence why its TRT, the amount of Test hes taking is probably very minimal compared to bodybuilders .... which is an entire different conversation... guys on TRT arent dying... but pro Bodybuilders have a tendency to have heart attacks. But I definitely respect your perspective.

[@sockpastarock7082]

Keeping my hand on a burning stovetop for 1hr is good because it is hard and nobody else will do it. I get the point he's trying to make but it's not the point he made. SOME things which are hard, are good. Using the measure of how hard something is as a way to determine how good it is, is stupid. More broadly I also think a lot of people take the message he's trying to present and apply it to things that shouldn't be hard as a way to cope with them being are hard. For example, being able to afford healthy food and a home to live in shouldn't be hard but for too many people it is. The kind of mentality that says hard=good ends up having people justify things like this kind of economic hardships as "good". The reality is that having an economy which goes through a recession every decade or so is not good. Having 10% of americans living below the poverty line is not good. Having a single company own millions of residential properties is not good.

I like Alex hormozi but I also realize that he's on a lot of steroids, his dad was a doctor and he likes grant cardone. So even though I like him and hear what he's saying, I can't help but think he's a little plastic. He's been on this show a lot and yeah we get it 'doing complain, turn hardship into opportunities, stoicism,, stoicism.' This clip doesn't do him favors as the title suggests he went through all of this hardship but he seems to have taken an easier route to getting jacked than most people. Most people aren't on steroids/trt. It is of course difficult to take advice from someone when u believe they take the easier route but say they took the hard road. That's some KD shit.

[@docken11]

Zero credibility. Classic example of survivorship bias and influencer marketing (i.e. adds nothing to society). All front - he is the product, not anything he does or makes. Plus he's on TRT at 30 (which cuts across his entire point of doing the "hard things") - nobody needs to be on TRT at 30 unless you're angling to put yourself forward as some kind of hard man when you're not. He's soft, all talk and has nothing useful to tell any normal joe out there trying to make it, because his whole story is a construct with nothing truly real about it.

[@eyesontoast1105]

The amount of saturation of these videos is crazy. Its the era of dogmatic podcasts. Even one like this that intend on being the opposite, still are. Because there are lots of listeners who want to have their thinking done for them and for them to feel they are on the "good" or "right" side. The reality is, its swings and fucking roundabouts! There is no one approach that is better than another when it comes to just doing things. More things you do, more tired you are, more resources needed to maintain etc etc. The less you do the less you need to maintain but the less you have in other areas. Its all a .....BALANCE! There is no getting around that fact

[@likesubstance]

There are absolutely routes that are better than others when it comes to doing things. If your take was true then there would be no professionals. Mentors wouldn’t be a thing, schools wouldn’t exist and nobody would be better than anyone else at anything. Funny how you nitpick about people having their thoughts laid out for them then you proceed to do the same thing.

Yea, and i have no idea what was so "hard" about their lives. What did they have to overcome?

[@ChristoScriven]

After over 10 years on self-improvement, the number one thing I’ve come to understand is that I am most disciplined, strong, fulfilled, loving, and present, when everything I do is an expression of a healthy self worth. I have nothing to prove, not even to myself. I realise that I am worthy of my own honour and respect, and that of others. If I’m not treating myself in the best way to honour the highest side of myself, or I’m allowing others to treat me badly, then something is off. I honour the passions and purposes I feel called toward by diligently working toward them. I work on myself everyday and reap the rewards, not because I need to so I can feel good about myself, but because guess what, I’m worth it. I deserve to be happy, healthy and prosperous, so do you.

[@Dtagcity]

You don't know what actually goes on in the lives of these "online personalities". Some can't give up being in relationships, frequent hangouts with friends, having family and kids, so they choose to instead give up being exceptional and successfull. Others can't give up being exceptional and not having tried what they really want to do, so they give up all the pleasures of the average person- going on parties, snacking, drinking, getting married, kids... Everything in life is a tradeoff, whether you do it consciously or not. There's only 24 hours in a day, so once you chose to use it for something, you are choosing to give up on the rest. The same goes for our attention, effort and resources. And well, we do have our own priorities so there's nothing wrong with choosing one over the other. But let's not pretend we don't know who made the harder choices. Yes, we all make sacrifices but those at the top are there for a reason. The results and the respect they get is proof of how much harder and bigger their sacrifices were. Because if it wasn't, we'd all be up there too.
