they won't understand.

The speaker reflects on the isolation of pursuing unconventional paths when the people around you don't get it. They discuss why you end up in social echo chambers and why finding people who actually understand your ambitions matters more than convincing everyone else.
Parents, your friends, your mentors, the people around you in your current life, they're not going to understand this journey that you're on. That's something I had to come to the conclusion of. I feel like I don't relate to majority of society. Unless you're one of those people that is trying to do your own thing. You're homeless or old people. Those are the three people that I feel like in my 20s that I feel like I understand to and I relate to the most. Anybody that's outside of that, I have a tough time relating to. And at first I was very isolating and it felt very lonely, especially when I didn't have people that were, you know, like myself in my, you know, early 20s that were trying to do things. It wasn't only until recently where I started to really accumulate a lot of people that are just like me. Anywhere from the range of like 20 to, you know, early 30s that I have, that I talk to on a regular basis that are doing my life, that are living my life. Because I was young, you know, it's like I had this pull and this draw to like, enjoy my life and to enjoy my youth. But then at the same time, you know, people that were trying to do something with their life and do something bigger and then just the status quo. And here's the thing, it's like you're probably most likely going to be living in a, in a crabs in a bucket situation, in a crabs in a bucket scenario. And what I mean by that is you are a crab in a bucket right now for most circumstances. Probably all of your friends are going the normal route and they're going to work their way up their career and they're going through school or they're, you know, in the middle of their job, they're having kids and a family and all these things. And you, they're bringing you. They're trying to keep you in this bucket with them because that's comfortable to them, that's uncomfortable to the human brain to have somebody that's doing somebody, something else that's relatable to you and related to you. And, and it's, it makes the crabs feel lonely in the bucket. How the analogy works is like. Or how crabs work. If you put them all in a bucket, as soon as one's trying to climb out, all the rest of the crabs are pulling them in so then that crab doesn't get out. And while at the same time they're all trying to be crabs in the bucket. And the way that social Media works is you go onto your feed, you go onto any platform, whether it be the TikToks or the Instagram or the Twitters or the YouTube. And I'll go right here on my. On my Twitter and I go onto my profile. And it is an echo chamber of who I am and what I engage with and what I relate to. And so if I am doing anything that, if I'm like, in a world of like, only engaging with content that is stupid or dumb or weird, then I am going to just purely be shown that if I am somebody who is trying to work on my way up the career, I'm going to get all this career advice. If I'm a writer, I'm going to get a bunch of writers on my feet. If I'm an entrepreneur or a business person or if I'm trying to build an income online or, you know, do my own thing or blaze my own trail, I'm going to see a bunch of that. And so your friends and your family are the same exact way on their social medias. They're seeing all these people, you know, like some people, you know, they're watching the news and they're just seeing all these people get killed and murdered and all these crazy stories of people traveling to these countries and, you know, and they're people getting decapitated or some wild stuff or, you know, whatever the hell is like being put out there these days. And that is their world. That is the way that they're being programmed. And you are being programmed right now by watching this video. Like we are all always being programmed. And it's not like, you know, it's. It's just how things work with. It's like our brains try to find things to. We. We start to develop an echo chamber around us. And so you watching this video means that you're in this echo chamber that you're trying to develop of like, going and doing your own thing and blazing your own trail. And the people that you know are probably in a different echo chamber. So they don't understand the beliefs that you are developing. They don't understand the vision of all this. They don't understand the possibility or the realities that are capable out there right now. And instead they're in this echo chamber of silly memes and stupid videos and drama and people fighting and all this stuff. You know, they're in this echo chamber. And so for you to say that you're going to go start your business, to quit your job, and you're going to do everything you can to become this person of success that's very like, unrelatable to them that, like that doesn't it. It's incomprehensible to them. And so nobody's going to understand what you're trying to do until you surround yourself with other people that are the same exact way and are doing the same exact thing. It's unrelatable because you don't know what you don't know. And all they know is their current life and the current path that they're going towards. And they don't know that you should be constantly learning. They don't know that there are, you know, like, they know that people are getting rich off of Tik Tok or they're watching the Hawk to a girl or, you know, some weird thing, you know, and they're seeing that, but they're just like, oh, that's lucky. You got to be the certain person or for like especially her, they made it. So where, you know, the, the programming right now with like her blowing up is that you have to do something degenerative to become rich and successful and to do something. But they don't know that there's alternative pathways out there right now that allow you to go live your own life and to live your own best life. And they don't know that I exist out here to like telling people exactly how I did it and the countless thousands of other stories that I've heard and sharing those inside of here in these videos. And they don't have access to all that stuff genuinely unless you share it to them. But they're just in an echo chamber of their life and their beliefs and their values is what's reflected on their social media and, and it is with their friends too, when they go hang out. Their friends, they're just reaffirming those beliefs. They're like, oh, I can't believe inflation. I can't believe rent's going up, like the cost of food. All these beliefs are just constantly going to be reflected upon the individual and in the, in the, the herd. It just, it gets reinforced. And so if you're someone that's trying to go down a different pathway, no one's going to understand you. No one's going to understand why you're sacrificing your weekends and why you quit drinking, why you stopped smoking weed to go do your, like to go build a life of your own to go do things that are bigger than just smoking weed and doing drugs and drinking and partying and wasting your time with a bunch of People that aren't going anywhere with your life, and it's going to be kind of confusing. It's isolating for a period of time. No one's going to understand you. I understand you watching this video. I get it. I was there too. I had no, like, I had no friends. Like, nobody. Nobody understood me. Like, I had friends. But it was like going down this pathway. Everyone was making fun of me. They were like, ah, you just suck at this stuff. I watch your YouTube video. You suck. Or whatever. Like, why are you doing this? You know, like, this is embarrassing. They're putting themselves onto me. They're putting themselves onto you. And so I had to realize this. And at a certain point, I had to just stop talking to everybody and stop telling everybody what I was doing unless they proven themselves to me that they could be trusted with this information. That meant not telling my parents. I meant not telling anybody that I was going to college with or school with. That meant not telling any of my. My. My teachers or. Or any of the people that were in my life or my baseball coaches or anybody. Because if I shared it with them, then they would immediately put themselves on to me. They'd be like, oh, I'd be like, oh, I'm starting a business. They'll be like, oh, I started a business once and I failed. And it was like a scam and all this stuff. And. And it's hard. It's. It's difficult. And then they start putting all these beliefs onto you, talking you out of what you're versus if you hung out with me, I'd be like, yeah, heck yeah. Like, I'd be talking about all the cool, tactical ways of, like, these opportunities that are out there and all these stories that I have. And just, like, I'm so hardcore convicted that this is the way because I made millions of dollars at this point. And I had feedback of, like, how that works. And I've met thousands of people that are. Have done the same exact thing. And I have that conviction. So if you hung out with me, you would hear nothing but, like, the abundance of the opportunity that's out there and all of these ways that I am implementing into my business and the tactics and the strategies that I have to, you know, grow my business and to do more. Why? Because I want to be cool in the eyes of the people that are around me. I want to be cool in the eyes of all these people that are making millions of dollars a month, and I want to be friends with them. Like, that's what I want to do. I want to fit into those circles. I want to be a part of those people. And they understand, they get it. But you may not have access to these people right now. You watching this, you may not have access. You have access to me by being able to watch these videos and be able to understand what I'm talking about. But anybody around you in your current circle, if you're not making serious money typically like they are, they don't understand any of this and they don't know how to talk about any of this. And they just default to their default setting because it's comfortable. But you understand that that's not for you. And so here's the thing, friend, watching this video, they're not going to understand you. So you don't need to try to get them to understand you. That's a big fly. It's a big one. And so what you need to do is you don't have to share everything with them, just spend less time with them. I'm not saying you got to like kick them out of your life or anything like that, but they're never going to understand you. You understand you. You know, deep down inside, they just understand, like what's inside of them. They understand what they've been programmed with. And you understand what you're being programmed with and the direction that that has taken you and the way that it is going to change your life for the rest to allow you to live the dreams and the life and everything that you have. And you understand that the opportunity is short, that there is like a time gap in. There's a ripple in time right now where there is opportunity for us to be able to all capitalize on it. And there is all these vehicles and there has never been a way, like a more availability for us to go and live these own lives that we have. And you know that they're not going to understand this. And you, if you're someone that has not had that big epiphany and that big success yet, you're going to be weak and your beliefs are going to be weak. And so when they're weak, you don't want to present yourself to the enemy in a way that's going to allow these beliefs and these dreams to get crushed. And like I'm saying, it's not that you're trying to spend less time with them. And if they're trying to guilt trip you, like, oh, it used to be so much fun and now you're not cool anymore, like, yeah, I'm not fun. Like, it's all these labels that get thrown onto you and all these beliefs that get thrown onto you. There's a certain point where you just have to just be like, okay, yeah, it's cool not being fun. It's hard because you're like, oh, I think I should be fun because that's what everybody says and I'm not fun anymore right now. But would you rather be in the, in living some, a part of somebody else's dream or would you rather live your own dream? That is a question that I have for you right now. You watching this, you're a part of my dream. Watching this video. Like you watching this is part of my dream. Like, like in my dream, people are watching my video and taking every word that I have and they are moving towards somebody that's gonna go do some incredible things in their life. That's a part of my dream. You're living in my dream right now. And I hope that I'm a part of your dream of like, yeah, this guy's like showing me all the things that I, if it needs to do to get there. But these other people, they have dreams too. And their dreams may not align with yours and they probably are, you know, they have their own dream that they are living out and you are part of their dream. And you have to ask yourself, it's like, is it worth it to me to live a part of that dream? Is that worth it to me to sacrifice my dreams to be a part of somebody else dream and to constantly be a part of somebody else dream? You need to decide what is the dream that you have for yourself. Because I, like I said, they do not understand you. They don't understand that there's so many different opportunities to have success and to do things in these days. They don't understand that there's some long haired dude on YouTube showing you the way that he's done it and showing you his phone and his screenshots of him doing millions of dollars. And yes, this is live. You can like click on it and you can see how much I made. And I think they're on weekly basis. They could say, yeah, you don't, they don't, they don't see that you can make like $34,000 in a week. And they don't understand that. They don't get that. And that's okay. You don't have to try to force them to try to understand it. Instead you need to understand your dream and what you're going down and your path that you are going down and just focus on that. Remember, they don't understand you.
