Hey. What's up, Person? Are you frustrated with your life? -No.你人还好吗？你对生活感到失望吗？-我好得很！Are you tired of spinning your wheels? And you keep on watching self improvement videos, trying to find that aha moment? The thing that gets you out of your rut. If that's you, stop that. -Well, Jake! It’s a relief to know what's been eaten on you. I wish you’d have told me sooner.你厌倦了徒劳无功吗？你一直连续看了很多个人发展类视频，尝试获得顿悟吗？努力去摆脱困境吗？要是这就是你，别再这样了。-杰克，弄清什么消耗你是一种解脱，希望你早点告诉我。Getting to where you want to be in life. It's difficult, absolutely. But it's extremely simple. The method to getting anything that you could possibly want in life comes down to, I would argue three things. If you can get all these three things right, then there's nothing that can stop you unless you know all of your limbs get blown off in a terrible accident.要实现你心向往之的生活，肯定很难，但却极其简单。我认为，实现任何心之所向的方法可以归结为三点。如果你能做到这三点，除非一场飞来横祸夺走了你的四肢，否则没有什么能阻挡你。Number one, you need to develop a vision.第一：设立愿望。Because without a vision, there will be absolutely no telling whether you're making progress in life or not. Most people do not have an adequate vision for where they want to be. Most people wake up every single day and just look at the tasks they have at hand, and just sort of vaguely hope that they will make more money, find a girlfriend, get a nice house eventually.因为没有愿望，你将完全不知道你是否在进步。对于想要达到什么样的目标，大多数人并没有足够清晰的愿望。大多数人每天早上醒来，只是着眼于手头的任务，稀里糊涂地希望自己能赚更多钱，找到一个女朋友，最终拥有一套豪宅。They have all of these sort of pre installed vague npc sentiments in their head, things that would be nice. Right? But of course you want those things, everybody wants those things. Those things are not a vision that's just sort of like accidentally inheriting the sentiments of society. You need to develop a vision that is exciting to you and your life. A vision that I can't tell you about. I can't tell you what's exciting to you, but you have to figure it out. You must figure it out.他们脑海中充斥着一些模糊的难以掌控的想法，充斥着看起来很美好的事物，对吧？当然你也想要这些东西，谁不想要呢。但这些东西并不是真正的愿望，只是你无意识地接收了社会的期待。你需要设立真正让你兴奋的、与你的生活息息相关的愿望。一个我无法告诉你的愿望。我无法告诉你，什么对你而言是兴奋的，你必须自己找到答案。你必须自己弄清楚。So ask yourself,you know if everything went your way and you behaved optimally, if you managed to find the discipline necessary to overcome the little obstacles in your life. And the big ones, where would you ideally want to be one year from now, take out a pen and paper and and write these things down in detail. You have to create a vision that excites you. Otherwise you will distract yourself with pleasure. So when you're constructing this vision, I highly encourage you to not just think about the things you want to have. Everybody wants to wake up in a nice, giant household with a big, comfy bed and drive off in their lambo, have a very fulfilling job that makes them a lot of money, and they have all these nice clothes, and their body is nice and jacked.所以问问自己，如果一切都如你所愿，如果你品行兼优，如果你一直想方设法找到克服困境所需的法则，一年后，理想中的你会变成什么样？拿出一支笔和纸，详细地写下这些愿望。你必须设立一个让你兴奋的愿望。否则，你会寻求快感来分散自己的注意力。当你构思愿望时，我强烈建议你，不要只考虑你想要拥有的物质财富。每个人都希望早上醒来时，身处一座豪华的大宅子，有一张舒适大床，驾驶着心爱的豪车出门，拥有一份让自己赚很多钱的令人满足的工作，拥有一切漂亮的衣服，以及拥有强健的体魄。And these things are nice to think about. But a far more important question is, how do you want to behave? What kind of person do you want to be? How do you want it to feel to be you? You can imagine yourself with all of these luxuries around you, but at the end of the day, think about what that would feel like to be you. Is it sort of powerful, peaceful, focused? Do you want to be somebody who has their priorities in line, somebody who has sort of burned away their lesser self? Are you somebody who wakes up in the morning with energy, just teeming with motivation and excitement? To tackle the most important things in your day, develop a vision that's more exciting to you than the pleasures that surround you.这些想法听起来很美妙。但更重要的问题是，你想要怎样为人处事？你想成为怎样的人？成为你自己时的感觉是怎样的？你可以想象自己身边都是琳琅满目的奢侈品，但归根结底，想想成为你自己的感觉是怎样的。是强大、宁静、专注的吗？你想成为做事有条不紊的人吗，成为一个已经燃烧掉渺小自我的人吗？你是那个早上醒来就充满活力、充满动力和激情的人吗？去处理你一天中最重要的事情，去设立一个对你来说比眼前的快感更让人兴奋的愿望。Okay, so the next thing is to weapon eyes, your attention.第二：善用你的注意力武器。Almost everybody underestimates the power of their attention, but there are very few people in the world who understand it fully, and those people are in power. The people who understand attention fully. Those are the people who have created an entire economy around human attention. Look no further than your tech giants of the world.几乎每个人都低估了注意力的力量，很少人能够真正彻底理解注意力的力量，而理解的人却拥有着权势。真正理解注意力的人，正是那些围绕着人类注意力打造了整个经济系统的人。看看近在眼前的，世界上的科技巨头们，你就能明白。The truth is human attention is the most valuable resource on the planet when people focus on something, when a society focuses on something, things get done or undone, societies are built or they crumble, and the modern landscape is built very evidently around influencing, maintaining and controlling human attention.事实上，人的注意力是地球上最宝贵的资源，当人们专注于某事时，当整个社会将注意力集中于某事时，要么成事要么坏事，社会要么被建立要么被摧毁，而现代社会的格局明显是围绕着影响、维持和控制人类的注意力而建立的。Even me right now, talking in front of this camera, the longer you pay attention, the better this video will do for me. But hopefully I can leave you with something where you can go. Oh, wait, I need to develop my own vision. I need to pay attention to that vision, and I need to make things happen in my own life. And then hopefully' you don't need to watch anybody's. You can be paying attention to what you want to be paying attention to.甚至像我现在这样，在这个摄像头前说话，你越是集中注意力观看，对我来说，这个视频收获就越多。但愿我能给你一些启发你的东西。哦，等等，我需要设立我的愿望。我需要关注那个愿望，我需要在我的生活中让改变发生。然后，希望你不再需要去看任何人的视频，而是可以把注意力放在你真正想关注的事物上。So in order to gain traction in your life, you need to realize that your attention is the vehicle that will drive you towards your north star. And it makes perfect sense because attention is a prediction where our eyes gaze. Our feet tend to follow. You know, a really good example of this is how I became a youtuber. How how did I get here? Is this exactly what I've always wanted to do with my life? Not really, I still want to be a director and create high quality art, be a master of cinema, but it makes perfect sense. Why I ended up here for the time being. And that' because that is all I paid attention to. As a kid, I was constantly making youtube videos with my friends, comedy sketches, fight scenes. I was constantly absorbing and up loading to youtube. It's where my attention was and soon my feet followed.所以，为了取得进步，你需要意识到你的注意力就是推动你走向目标的工具。这完全说得通，因为注意力是我们的眼睛投注在何处的预测。我们的行为往往会跟随着注意力。我成为创作者就是一个很好的例子。我是怎么在这里的？这是否正是我一直想做的事情？事实并非如此，我依然想成为一名导演，创作高质量的艺术作品，成为电影大师，但这完全合情合理。我为什么最终来到这里？因为拍摄就是我所有关注的事物。年轻时，我经常和朋友们一起拍摄视频，拍喜剧小品，打斗场景。我经常在视频平台上观看视频并上传自己的作品。那就是我所关注的，很快我的行为也跟着做了。So ask yourself, are you treating your attention with respect? And in what ways are you allowing your attention to go elsewhere? What are you obsessed with? What's constantly on your mind?whatever that is, if it's not towards your vision, you will lack the fuel to get there. So this might all sound extremely, overly simple. But I think the truest things in life are generally pretty straightforward. 'It doesn't mean that it's easy, in fact, honing your attention on what matters is very difficult, but the final component of all of this will help you achieve it. It'll make things easier for you. And I found it personally very helpful as of late.所以问问自己，你是否尊重自己的注意力？你以何种方式让你的注意力流失？你痴迷于什么？什么经常在你的脑海中出现?无论是什么，如果它不是跟随着你的愿望前进，你将缺乏实现目标所需的动力。这听起来可能过于简单。但我认为生活中最真实的事情通常都很简单。简单并不意味着容易，事实上，将注意力集中在重要事物上是非常困难的，但最后一点将帮助你掌控注意力，将使事情变得更容易。我最近发现对我个人也非常有帮助。This final component is surrender. I'll call it surrender for this video, but last video I called it submission. So let's rewind a little bit. Remember how at the beginning I talked about reflecting on who you want to be and what you wanted to feel like to be you. Well chances are when you were imagining that when you are really thinking about that, you actually felt it. Right, You actually caught a glimpse and were able to relax into that feeling. Your posture probably changed a little bit. Maybe you were very stressed before. You're very uptight about all these things you have to do, but you allowed yourself for just a few minutes to relax into the possibility of feeling different.最后一点是屈服。我在这个视频中称之为屈服，但上一个视频中我称之为臣服。所以让我们回顾一下。还记得我在开始时谈过的：反思你想成为什么样的人，以及成为你自己的感觉是怎样的吗？很可能在你想象的时候，你实际上感受到了那种感觉。你确实瞥见了，并能够放松身心，进入到那种感觉中。你的姿势可能会有一些改变。在此之前你也许很紧张，你为所有你要做的事情都感到很紧张，但你允许自己放松了几分钟，允许自己去想象一下不同的感受。Well, that is proof that you can feel that way. Right now, the feeling that you want to feel is available to you at all times. Right? You can be right now, the person that you want to be, therefore, all of these external circumstances that you want for your life are merely the branches that grow out from this authentic feeling of being you. That probably sounds very woo-woo, but just give it a thought.这证明了你可以感受到那种感觉。此刻，你想要感受的那种感觉，你随时都可以得到。对吧？你现在可以成为你想成为的人，因此，在生活中，所有外在事物仅仅是从成为你自己的真实感觉中生长出来的枝叶。这可能听起来很玄乎，但试着想一想。Maybe it's not so much that getting what you want in life externally will make you feel who you want to feel like, but rather feeling how you want to feel in life and behaving in the way that you wish to behave and being the person that you want to be will help you get all of these things as a byproduct.也许实现外在的东西并不会让你感受到成为你想要的样子，而是感受到你想要的感觉，以你希望的方式行事，成为你想成为的人，会帮助你以意外的方式得到所有外在的东西。As I was editing this video, I realized that I just straight up didn't explain what submission even is. I just started talking about something entirely different. I already talked about this in like two other videos. But, yeah, I should really stop over using this concept. I think I should really write some new material.当我在剪辑这个视频时，我意识到，我根本没有解释清楚：臣服是什么。我直接开始谈论完全不同的东西。我在之前的两个视频中已经谈论过臣服了。但是，是的，我真的应该停止过度使用臣服这个概念。我想我真的应该写一些新的东西。Submission is basically this idea. Instead of you know like when you need to do something that you need to do, there's all this like physiological tension. Right? You feel very like, if I could just get myself to do it, right? Then I'd be a better person, but I suck. Right? There's a lot of tension, right? We kind of fight ourselves. But when you have a vision for what you want to feel like who you want to be, and you allow yourself to feel it, then submission is almost like this. This act of faith, it's less even psychological, it's more physiological. You you just do the thing anyways, and I know that sounds very reductionistic. But doing anything in life is just doing the thing anyways, you can try to hyper cerebralize doing what you need to do and over complicate it.屈服基本上就是这个意思。与其说是当你需要做一些必须做的事情时，会产生一些生理上的紧张感。更像是，“如果我能让自己去做，那我就会成为一个更好的人，但我烂透了。” 有很多紧张感，我们会在内心与自己斗争。但当你对你想要的感觉和成为的人有一个愿望，并且允许自己去感受它时，臣服几乎就是这样的。这是一种信仰的行为【心向往之，行必将至】，臣服甚至不是心理上的，更多的是生理上的。你无论如何都去做那件事，我知道这听起来非常简化了。生活中做任何事情都只是去做那件事，你可以过度理智化你需要做的事情并使其复杂化。But at the end of the day, it's just a matter of doing it or not doing it. So I found personally that it's actually easier to do what's good for you. If you relax into it physically and psychologically, this act of just putting one foot in front of the other and having faith that this is the right thing for you.但归根结底，只是做或不做的问题。所以我个人发现，如果你身心上放松下来，做对自己来说正确的事情实际上会更容易，臣服只是一步一步地信任对你来说正确的事情。It's like counter intuitive. You almost try less hard to do what's right for you. But as you get better at doing this, you just kind of disregard the resistance in your way. You start to become very familiar with the feelings that are on the other side of this wall of resistance. It's a feeling of peace, of calm, of duty. Sometimes it's even a feeling of excitement. You get very excited that you're actually finally doing what you need to do. Right? It's a very good feeling.这有点违反直觉。你可以试着更不费力地做对自己来说正确的事情。随着你在做这方面变得更加娴熟，你会开始忽视掉你面前的阻力。你会变得非常熟悉阻力墙另一侧的感觉。那是一种宁静的感觉，平静的感觉，责任的感觉。有时甚至是一种兴奋的感觉。你会非常兴奋，因为你实际上终于在做你需要做的事情。这是一种非常好的感觉。A lot of the time when we procrastinate and we're doing all these, 'we're doomed scrolling, instagram or whatever. We are actually looking for this feeling. We just can't find it at instagram. We can't find it on tiktok. It's only found by relaxing into what you know you need to be doing, relaxing in to the steps necessary to achieve your vision. And there's no better feeling than that. Some call it a flow state. You can call it whatever you want, but it's the best feeling in the world. So get good at submitting to your higher conception of good. You can call it your heavenly duty, your vision of heaven, and good luck. Just do it, but enjoy yourself as you do it.很多时候，当我们拖延并且做着所有这些“我们注定要失败的”事情，刷着小红书或者其他什么的时候。我们实际上在寻找这种感觉。我们只是在小红书上找不到它。我们在抖音上也找不到这种感觉。只有通过放松身心来做你需要做的事情，放松身心来迈出实现愿望的步骤，才能找到那种感觉。没有比那更好的感觉了。有些人称之为“心流”，你可以随意称呼这种状态，但这是世界上最美好的感觉。所以学会臣服于你对善的更高层次的理解吧。你可以称之为你的天职，你的崇高愿景，祝你好运。去做吧，但在做的时候享受其中。
