You became a slave without even realizing it

You did everything they told you:

• cut out the junk food

• stopped the video games

• hit the gym

• started meditating

• got productive

And… it worked. You did improve.

But you don't really feel like you expected.

You're not free.

You're not really happy.

You're not that driven.

You feel bored.

And…should I drop the bomb on you? Yes?

You sure? Okay:

You aren't even living your own life anymore. You're playing someone else's game.

This shit made you MORE miserable than you were before.

All you did was decorate the prison cell you were in. But you're still in the SAME FUCKING CELL.

Or at least that's how it was for me:

I discovered self-improvement, watched all the videos and a couple months later I was doing all those "good" habits, optimizing everything.

• journaling

• exercising

• meditating

• waking up early

• taking cold showers

And I'm not saying any of these are bad… BUT (big but)

They were not part of my game. I was playing someone else's game.

But who's game was it?

Quite simple:

I was doing exactly what I was told by all these YouTubers.

I wasn't important if I liked it, if it was fun, or even if it would actually help me in my life.

It was just for the sake of doing it.

"Do the hard work, especially when you don't feel like it."

Yeah sure, sometimes that's necessary, but ALL THE FREAKING TIME???

You know who also has to do the hard work if they don’t feel like it? Slaves.

And what characteristics make a slave a slave?

He can't make his own decisions, but needs permission for EVERYTHING.

Does that… ring a bell somewhere? Has it clicked yet? No?

Let's take cold showers.

If you take cold showers, because:

• you like the feeling

• they're fun for you

• they give you tangible benefits

All power to you. Keep doing them.

But if you take cold showers just because Andrew Huberman told you they're good for you?

Then fuck the damn cold showers. REMOVE them from your life.

You don't need permission from Huberman to stop cold showers if you don't like them.

And God forbid you eat a piece of cake or stay up a bit longer.

You can (and should) grab life by its balls and do with it whatever YOU want.

My point is: You're not a fucking slave.

Huberman, Jeff Nippard or Hamza aren't your owners.

YOU are your own owner. YOU can do whatever the fuck you want.

Want to eat ice cream? Eat it.

Want to have a drink? Have it.

Want to go on an adventure? Go.

Stop waiting for approval of your favorite self-improvement youtuber.

You're a man. You should be the dictator over your life.

You have 100% control over it. What you do, what you don't do.

You don't need permission from no one. You're free.

Stop sitting on the passenger seat. Start driving.

So if you don't see the point in something? Dump it.

If you want to do something? Do it.

The ONLY one who should have more authority over your life than yourself, is God.

But other than that? You’re the driver.

Press the gas whenever you want.

Turn whenever you want.

Take whatever street you want.

You have the control.

Do with it whatever is right for you.

Not what someone told you is right.

You. Do. Not. Need. Permission.

Vamos brother. To the moon.
