The Vibration of Conor McGregor (and what we can learn)

Conor McGregor's energy is fascinating to me. Like, on one hand, you have somebody that has completely got to a new level of success, somebody that is the most successful and one of the most well-known athletes in the world, and somebody that's really changed the name in the game for UFC in general as well, and somebody that at one point was a double champion, a champion in two different weight classes. Then what happens is this person ends up going and doing boxing, and boxing was something against Floyd Mayweather that made him over $100 million. And after that point, you see his energy change quite a bit. Now, the reason I say this is because I want to point out some of the energy dynamic differences that I've noticed in Conor McGregor's energy from when he was at the top of his game to to where now it seems like he's definitely struggling for him to remain at the top of where he used to be. He's trying to get back, but he's coming up with a lot of resistance in the process. And what I want to do is I want to kind of look at these different energy dynamics for you to see because maybe it'll reflect something back to you on how you can optimize your own energy and also just not make some of the same mistakes because on your journey to success you may make some of these mistakes even just as I have as I become more successful. So one of the first things I'd like to say is that Conor McGregor, to me, he's someone I used to watch a lot, like his fighting, his energy, even though his trash-talking, if you're familiar with who he is, he's in the UFC, he's an amazing charismatic fighter, someone that's definitely compared to, very entertaining to watch as well. And back in the day, back in 2015, 2015 to 2017, he was probably at the top of his game then. He was winning consistently. He brought a level of trash talk to the sport that made it very interesting to watch. And when I watch UFC, I'm fascinated by UFC. I watch it, you know, every couple weeks there'll be like a big UFC fight and I'll watch it. And what I find fascinating is the stories behind the UFC themselves. What UFC has done a great job of is in their embedded series. They get you bought in on the character. They get you interested on the character and the hero's journey and seeing these people. And as you see the inside of their lives, you start to resonate with different ones of them that then gets you tied in to the sport itself. So you're no longer just watching this person against this person's fighting skills. You're watching their story, this archetype of this person versus that person. And if you identify with one of these people, then you'll want that person to win. However, in sports, it's interesting to watch the ego and how the ego can do and how the different energy dynamics go at play. So back in the day, Conor was this new and upcoming fighter who came from nothing in Ireland. He came from Ireland, said one day I'm gonna be in the UFC, and within fights he ended up working his way up to where then he did exactly what he said he was gonna do. He's somebody that also, from what I understand, uses, uh, he speaks it into existence. He's a big fan of the law of attraction and visualization, and it definitely worked for him. He went from no money at all to an extraordinary amount of wealth in a very relatively short period of time. But one thing I noticed from back in the day before he was necessarily famous, and as he was on that road to becoming more and more well-known and also just more successful in UFC, is he had so much fun in the process of fighting. He and the process of fighting and mixed martial arts was the end result in and of itself. He was doing it because he loved it. It was his passion. And it's funny because even as I look at myself back in YouTube videos, you know, I make YouTube videos now 3 times a week. When I was making videos every single day on YouTube back in 2017, I was so passionate about it. I love doing it. I get up every morning, I'd make my video, I'd edit it. Every single day a YouTube video went out. And I was doing it because I loved it. This is something I was passionate about. But even as, you know, that's why I can relate to parts of Conor's journey through this because what happened is eventually Conor got very big and he became a double champion in two different weight classes. But then what happened is he lost a fight to Khabib and then he went and he did boxing and he boxed against Floyd Mayweather. That Floyd Mayweather fight, which he's not actually, you know, he's more of a mixed martial artist, and, you know, boxing is like something people do their whole entire lives, and he put on a great show. Actually, the last day of my 9-to-5 job selling women's shoes was the Conor McGregor-Mayweather fight. So I opened that day, got off at 5 o'clock, went to a friend's house, watched it. That was my last day of ever having a 9-to-5 job. It was a big symbol for me because I could have quit my 9-to-5 job earlier, but I wanted to work that day because it was in Vegas. At Barney's New York and it's a commissioned job. So I was like, okay, I knew it's gonna be busy that day. And then I went and watched the fight. And after that moment, he had his whiskey, he has his whiskey brand. From that moment going forward, he had all the money in the world. He has all the money in the world. He's worth hundreds of millions of dollars. And from being worth hundreds of millions of dollars and having everything he's always wanted, he then retired. And he went from fighting like 3 to 5 times a year doing what he loves to like years without doing anything. And something very interesting happened as he— and it became more about the money. He moved into a level of consciousness where it became all about success, growth, and money. And once that happened, it took him out of being focused on what he's passionate about, which is mixed martial arts, and it put it on the money. And then everything became about the money. And the interesting thing is once that happened, he then remained in it for a while, has a very successful whiskey company. That hunger began to go because he got to a certain level to where there was— what else is there? He got bored. My belief is he got bored after a couple years of retiring. He has a Lamborghini motorboat. He has like all the cars and all the abundance in the world. He's growing his family now. But at the same time, I think what happened is he got off of his passion. He got— and even fighting to him, I think, was something he really missed. And what happened is he got back in the UFC, he had one good fight against somebody that was pretty easy to beat, that was already on his way down. And then after that, I've seen him go more and more into his ego and go more and more into trying to hold on to an old aspect of himself. That isn't no longer resonating, and he's having to really put on this show to be this past version of him. And even it's interesting because he's like an amazing trash talker, and that has got him to where he is. And what happened is one of his last fights, he lost, and one of the things that people said was, you lost because you weren't trash talking, you weren't being the old you. So what he did is there were some things that happened and he he lost to this guy named Dustin Poirier in the second fight that they had against each other. And then that means there was gonna be a third fight. In the third fight, he became a dickhead again, but not just a dickhead. He became very like mean and malicious. He became very serious about what he was doing and he became, you know, he's got all the old Conor's back. However, the old Conor wasn't really back. What happened is he was trying to be the old version of him and it wasn't authentic anymore. And you could even see in the trash talking, he was really reactive. He really cared what other people thought. He went deeper into his ego, and that ended up requiring and depleting a lot of energy from himself. And he even said things like, you know, "I hope you leave in a stretcher." And maybe it was for show, but those are some of the things that you just don't say. You know, you don't talk about, you know, your opponent actually leaving dead in a stretcher. And the irony is that he had a freak accident where he was walking back. He was losing really badly in this round, this third, you know, fight between Dustin Poirier just recently, and he goes a step back and his whole ankle just cracks. Horrible to watch. And he ended up leaving in a stretcher. And one thing that Dustin Poirier said is, you know, karma is a mirror, and it was a mirror that he said that, and he's actually leaving in a stretcher. And what I think that Conor McGregor needs more than anything else right now is a consciousness shift. A consciousness shift where he gets back to the spiritual principles that I think got him to where he was. The spiritual principles of doing what you're passionate about and having fun with it. When I started to like get bigger on YouTube, it became more about the views and always having to top myself and always having to do more than I did before. And what I found out is that required so much energy. And even as I look at the past me, I was like, maybe the past me was better at making videos than this version of me. And I look at that, but if I was to try to be that past version of me, it would be a lot of energy. It wouldn't be authentic, and you would feel that. And the thing that I think is important to realize is the values and the spiritual principles that got you to where you were or where you are and be in re-getting to those. So more than anything, Connor has an opportunity to go within himself to really find out what really matters to me, what really— what am I really passionate about, and that also I am worthy for just being me. I think part of him might be so tied on to becoming and gaining his champion status back or winning again because he's trying to like prove his own sense of self-worth or trying to You know, he has rules in his mind as to what it takes for him to feel a certain way, and that competitive nature can definitely fuel us. But this is a very different Conor than the old Conor. The old Conor had fun, enjoyed the process, and was very much like being authentic to where he was. And then what happened is he went away for a while, he came back, and he was nice. And because he was nice, he lost. But that nice was his real him. It was authentic, and people liked that. And then people— some people— he let the noise— he let people outside of himself tell him what to do. He let people outside of himself tell him who he was, and then he had to put out all this energy to be something that no longer was authentic, something that was in resonance. And, and I think what he has the opportunity to do now is to go within himself and to really like find out who he is and to almost go through a dark night of the soul as well. He's got to die to his old ego in a way, like his old ego. He's trying so hard to maintain it. And the key is to realize, for me at least, when I make videos, it's like energy flowing through. It's not really Aaron the ego making the videos. Yes, you know, I talk through my physical experience and stuff like that, but it's like a divine energy that wants to flow through. And when you look at Khabib, who's one of his opponents, you know, he's a very religious guy, but, you know, he's always giving the energy up to God, you know, in his version of that, whatever religion religion he has. And that's the energy is being allowed to flow through him, even though something so primitive as fighting. But when you start to think it's you doing everything, the universe many times will slap you on your hand. But when you recognize that it's energy that's flowing through, that it's not just about you, but it's like there's something greater at play, it's like the universe comes to your service. But you have to be more pure, you have to be more humble. And he's getting this experience experiences. Now he's getting slapped on the hand and he has these opportunities to be humble, but he may get the message, he may go more into a shadow for a while and go deeper into the ego and double down on it. But I think eventually he'll come out, have a dark night of the soul, and he'll come out and recognize that the ego isn't everything. And there's a spiritual component, like a Bruce Lee component almost to it, that can allow it to flow through in an even more powerful way than he can imagine. But he literally has to die to his old self, not try to recreate that old self, but come out a completely new version of him, maybe even a more spiritually in tune version of him. And really, if he's gonna fight, he's gonna fight because he loves fighting, not because of the status, the more whatever, you know, more money he can make and all of that. You know, anytime I've done something based on like how much money I can make, if I'm not passionate about it, it doesn't do well. But when I do something I'm passionate about, the money naturally comes. Money is a side effect of of you being you. Money is a side effect of the process. Money is not the end result. If the money becomes the end result, it's, it's, there's lessons that come involved and you don't enjoy the process nearly as much. So Connor, I think, has the potential to transform himself through this process. Whether he comes back and he's like as good as he used to be, I think so irrelevant at this point because it's more about his spiritual journey of him becoming aware of who he is and going through his own layers of self and letting go of the old ego. And I think all of us are divine spiritual beings having temporary human experiences. And the more fun we have, the more we enjoy the process, the more the focus is on helping other people or of adding value. It's like the universe comes at our service. But the more we start taking credit for the ego, we'll get success for a certain period with that. But eventually it'll slap you on your hand, it'll slap you, and you'll get lessons from that. So this is my perspective of what's going on with Conor McGregor's vibration. And let me know what you think. Do you notice anything in it? Comment below. Like this video if you like this style video. Is there anybody else or any other energy dynamic that you'd like me to talk on? Comment below. Let me know. This is a new style of videos, just something I kind of wanted to make to see, you know, what you guys thought of this kind of— it's fascinating for me to look at stuff like this. I enjoy talking about it. So let me know. Other than that, as always, I'll talk to you on the next one. Peace, much love, and namaste.
