You care too much - it's holding you back

[@manojmurali7462]

I have lived in that scarcity mindset for 7 years. I still don't know how to be normal. Hearing from everyone around to give it your 110% all the time (societal pressure). My brain resisted this. I go in isolation, make up my mind and keep pushing with zero absorption of what I was doing. End of the day, I'd feel so impersonal about the efforts and go detach from the work required. I go to deliberately wasting more time calling it relaxation but no. Later feel horrible about it. i believe that our school system is so ingrained in us. We need guardrails to help us throughout life after high school.. Else we don't know what we're doing.. We need that kind of validation to make progress.

"Nature does not hurry yet everything is accomplished". I am doing enough. Thank you Akta for this master piece 🤗🤍 and I must say that you've mastered the art of storytelling.🙌

[@Akta]

Thank you so much Chinyere you’re so kind ❤️❤️

[@Skuf-g6h]

She's speaking straight FACTS!

[@Oscar_Lagrosen]

Great video Akta! I’ve also been very obsessed lately about the concept of non-neediness. Once we do not need anything more than what we experience right now, we get this leverage and inner power And then somehow everything happens I will probably base the rest of my life on non-neediness since it opens so many doors. Out of every productivity strategies, non-neediness is by far the most impactful

[@Akta]

Thank you so much! I agree :)

[@iAskedYouFirst]

The wisdom im getting from your videos blows my mind every time!

[@annaspeaks373]

I always try to hard and it’s not ok. This few days I am thinking maybe I need to make videos every next day and finally get a result then I said to myself Anna calm down just enjoy this is not gonna be the same as your all goals. I don’t know how to live, only thing I am good at that’s pushing myself to learn pretending that I am “improving”.

[@Akta]

Yess!! So glad you’re reminding yourself to calm down and end the process

[@yggdrasil2]

I think it's a combination of working towards a clear goal, but at the same time not letting that goal consume you.

[@Akta]

YES

[@trafficjon400]

Sounds like a slavery channel? walk away if you have the power. if you don't your life is shit out of luck period. if I see people controling others for unreasonable acts is it better to jump in and save a person from neglecy or let it continue and safe your self. even family evil might have power over you with no choice. a damned if do or don't place or posision. every thing will consume you in one way or another even if you falsly think or void it its human animal instinct and nothing you can do by its effects. you can pretend and play it like its not sure its part of life . more humans are naturally evil narcissistic. why many run away going off grid. they still will face the harsh reality of nature the wild and weathers moods also. if a God its cruel way more than any good. Compitision even if its for reason to be a pest for more than some wating life away becoming ussles.

[@eleanor_mills]

Another amazing and super-helpful video! Your every video is literally about every little thing that I struggle with, and I always thought that I was alone in that, but it seems like it's a pretty common problem, the majority of people just don't talk about it. Thank you so so much! Awesome content♥

[@gz625]

You shouldn't treat your job like "just a job". You spending huge amount of time on that so you need to LOVE what you are doing.

[@taragelle6621]

Timely message for me. Just what I needed to hear. Thank you.

[@saintallison]

Hey Akta, I'm late to the party, but I really want to thank you for making this video

[@ivnakujundzic7825]

"Knowing when action is no longer needed" In the period of my life where I no longer have energy to worry, I'm finding advice like this. You explained what I was thinking, but was afraid to admit. Like the thing about when you stop trying, something happens. Sometimes it is hard to move past a certain point. I love your editing style, it makes me want to watch more of your videos.

[@Akta]

Thank you so much Ivna 🥹

[@blxke1]

This is without a doubt my favorite video that you've made. I personally relate a lot to this concept and this video gave me the reminder I needed. Thanks Akta!

[@Akta]

I’m so glad! It was one of my favourites to make as I needed this too 😅

[@isa-lk4lj]

This video deserves more views.

[@himanganapanwar3832]

"You shouldn't force things"❤........I try not to but I still compare myself with people who are EARLY BLOOMERS or are KZbinrs (bc that's what I wanna do in my life)......and all this comparison just makes me more and more depressed........it feels like I'm a loser, haven't done anything "big" in my life but what I learned by looking at my life is that things happen when they are meant to.......I know late success sucks but it makes you realize what's important in your life and what's not

[@Akta]

Watch my video about feeling behind in life! :)

[@VN-qm1qy]

Thanks Akta . I really needed that. ❤️

[@Akta]

I’m so glad it helped :)

[@Devamsha]

Completely agree with this and have come to similar realisation myself! Once I let go of my expectations, what’s meant for me has the SPACE to arrive ❤️

[@Akta]

YES ❤️❤️

[@Vintageshabbychi]

You have no idea how much I needed this! I'm in a situation now and I've taken the mentality to stop trying so hard. Thank you so much 💓 certainly a sign from the universe.

[@Akta]

I’m so glad ❤️

[@samjebaraj24]

akta , i needed this video so much ! Thank you !

Happy new year!!

I noticed the backwards law after I gave up the thinking at a thing that I wished to have.

[@danjohnson5164]

Hey Akta. I think this is my favourite of your videos to date as it feels like a great reminder of certain things like numbers don’t matter, and for me personally, that much of my work and current passions lately have come from spontaneity and experimenting, rather than forcing myself to do things. I also no longer pressure myself to make friends, as another example, as I know now things like that could happen at any time, and that overthinking only leads to awkwardness. So thank you for sharing this. Much appreciated. 😊

[@Akta]

I’m so glad this video aligns with where you are in life right now Dan! Thanks for watching 🤗

[@psalm3718]

so great, thank you for this ❤

[@yyy-ml1yg]

Great video

[@PurplePea13]

Love this video!!! Feel like it was made for me, thanks for sharing! ❤❤

[@Akta]

I’m so glad you feel that way :)

[@meghana7146]

Loved this video, exactly what I needed. I didn't realise that I've been trying way too hard. I always did better when i stopped trying too hard and that was pretty confusing, especially since trying hard is seen as a good thing. The friends example resonates with me the most. Thanks for the video ❤

[@Akta]

I’m so glad it helped 🤗

[@browncoco17]

Always something new to learn from your videos!

[@Akta]

[@jmoney3371]

Great vid! I really relate to this and will try to learn from it.

[@Akta]

Thanks :)

[@danieldman8515]

Great video Akta! I love the message in this vid 😊

[@Akta]

I’m so glad 🥰

[@MattAgustin]

Damn - this message was powerful. Made me think about the concept of "Do Your Best" from "The Four Agreements". It isn't only about avoiding doing less than your best but making sure to not do more. Thanks, as always, for your inspiration here, Akta ❤

[@Akta]

Thanks for watching Matt ❤️

[@Zubbylove]

Girl🔥🔥🔥🔥what a master piece right here. From the calmness to the wisdom. Everything went to my soul . Thank you 💕

[@Akta]

Omg thank you lovely 🥹🥹

[@badmuse]

Nicely produced and good food for thought. The video itself feels like it comes from a place of wu wei. I'd also add the importance of the idea of non-linear returns on effort. It's usually more important to just improve and do something at a substantial but sustainable pace than chase diminishing returns. Depends a lot on domain though.

[@badmuse]

Part of what attracted me to Ali's channel however long ago is the sense of ease he's always had with it. He's not a forehead vein throbbing success bro.

[@Akta]

Absolutely! Ali is sooo chilled out

[@edwardotieno3264]

Great content !we call it law of dettachment

Thanks for telling me! :)

Totally agree with everything in this video, all of it ❤

[@Akta]

Thank you 🥰

[@nia856]

This was a great video that has come at the perfect time for me! I was wondering if you had any tips/exercises on trusting your intuition? Thank you for your insightful content ❤

[@Akta]

Thanks so much Nia!! I think the best advice I could give is learning to differentiate between your voice and that of others - once your own voice / thoughts are stronger, it’s easier to trust your intuition because you know it’s come from you :)

[@nia856]

@@Akta thank you!!!❤️

[@lindokuhleshandu4024]

Perfect timing to come across this video.

[@Akta]

So glad :)

Really great video akta, i like your perspective on this 💗

What a coincidence, i just read about the backwards law in a book this morning 🙈

No way! What timing!!!

I watched the Ads for you🙈

[@Akta]

You’re so sweet 🥹❤️

[@TDesting]

I tend to agree with the overall point of the video. However, I do not think your channel started growing because you started trying less hard (as you put it) - I guess the underlying assumption here would be that the quality of your videos, i.e., the ability to attract viewers, is negatively correlated with "how much you try". Rather, I think the payoff from the hard work you put into your previous videos just comes with a delay :)

[@Akta]

This is very true as well, there was payoff! But also the videos that did really well to make my channel grow were ones I didn’t obsess over! The ones I obsessed over haven’t done as well :)

[@Janicesaheed]

Wow lol the skin and friends is so true

[@Akta]

Genuinely changed my life when I stopped trying!!! Feel so stupid for how crazy I went with my skin!

[@rahuld.2015]

You need a man around and kids. That's what will make you happy.

[@NatalieD1]

I am trying so hard to understand this video, I really don't understand the concept. I watched it, re-watched it.. and Wow.. I usually understand your videos and then I research even more on the topics, but this one.. It's just hard to understand. Example: Jeff Bezo's Amazon in it's infancy, was just not doing well, the employees did not get many day-offs, the books that were supposed to be sent out to the buyers...yeah they got it after months. As there were many book orders to sort through and few hands. So, if you apply, '85% rule', wouldn't that mean those books would be sent out even later than usual?

[@Akta]

We can’t look at that example and say whether they were giving 85% or not though, only an individual knows how hard they’re trying and when they’re trying too hard :)

[@CPRforyourSocialLife]

Lots of great content on your channel, thanks Akta! I like the way you visualize your ideas too. Happy 2023!

Dang i wanna give her money for some reason 🈴

[@AnnaSophie-ss6vz]

the friends-example hit hard because whenever i make myself talk to new people with the prospect of making new friends, i force it, i act unnatural and i have a really hard time and don‘t even enjoy myself🥲🫶🏼

[@Akta]

Me too!!!! That’s why I stopped 😂

[@meghana7146]

Yeah, I can relate
