Ladies and molecules . Andy , here I am a collection of molecules , just like you . I'll talk about that in a second . But I just got off a coaching call group coaching call with the guys in the coaching program And we had this really fun , really good group calls , an amazing session , and we talked about how a lot of the time we as in all of us you listening me , the people in the program , everybody we can often take our goals and ourselves , by extension , very , very , very seriously , and we often beat ourselves up if we're not performing or we're not perfect And we ruminate and we overthink things and we overcomplicate things And at the end of the day , as far as I can tell , life is a fun game , it's like a video game , it's like a joke , it's sort of meant to be played and meant to be enjoyed . I don't see life as all that serious . There was a really good quote , or there is a really good quote that I love , from Oscar Wilde , one of my favorite authors . That goes life is too important to be taken seriously . And so in this coaching call today we talked about how a lot of the mindset , tricks and philosophies and all of that that I teach you guys and girls . We're doing it to just really play around and have fun . We don't have to take it so seriously . Often guys and girls will beat themselves up when I give them a mindset trick or a philosophy or a way of doing things . They'll beat themselves up if they're not doing it perfectly . And so what I said to the coaching group today is this is all just fun , like we're just playing around with some of these ideas . I might give you a mindset hack or a way of thinking about things , but just play around with it . Don't stress if you don't do it perfectly . Don't stress if it doesn't radically change your life immediately . We're just playing around . We're trying some things , some techniques , some tricks , some hacks , and we're seeing what works and what doesn't . And this is all just a game . Nobody's keeping a score , nobody is checking to make sure you're doing a perfect job of life . Often we put that pressure on ourselves but , as far as I can tell , nobody else really gives a shit . This is all just a game And one really fun mindset trick or way of thinking about things that I'm still fleshing out . So this idea isn't fully fleshed out , but I had this idea with Imogen . On this conversation with Imogen you know , my lovely , beautiful girlfriend a month or so ago And I said , when we sit there and get frustrated with something , in other words when we argue with reality , when we wish things were different or when we wish someone was different , we wish they were behaving differently or doing something differently we're sort of arguing with one , or sometimes multiple out of three different variables Position , as in coordinates in space and you know in real life time and intention .

Speaker 1 2:53

And so those three variables , if I explain them a little bit more , position is like where that thing or that person is , time is obviously the moment that it's happening , and intention is you know if it's a person , what they plan on doing or if it's an object . I guess you could say where they're going Any of you physics nerds will know this as like momentum or direction . So position , time and direction , i guess you could say velocity . And if you think about everything that's happening , you can figure out those three variables , like where something is gonna go , where it is at a moment in time and exactly where it is at that moment in time . And so play around with those kind of , or think about playing around with those variables .

Speaker 1 3:38

Often when we're annoyed at something like let's use the really obvious example of like somebody cuts you off in traffic , you're literally saying that person or that car or I guess you could say that collection of molecules , they're in the wrong coordinates at the wrong point in time . And it's a really weird , really interesting , kooky , fun way of thinking about things . Everything that pisses you off in life . Like , let's say , someone comes to you and they're really stressed and they say , oh man , like I'm really stressed , can I talk to you about my problems ? And you go , oh , not now , no , i have too much shit on my plate . You're basically saying them complaining about their problems to me . The position is okay , like I don't mind that they're right there at that moment in time , their intention is okay , just that the time is wrong . If they had come to me yesterday , i would have a lot more patience and I'd be okay with it . If they came to me tomorrow , after I've handled my own stress , i would be okay with it . And so we're arguing with the time , like the time that they're doing this .

Speaker 1 4:36

And if you think about those three variables again position , time and intention , or , i guess , direction , you know , momentum , whatever you wanna call that last one . We're really just arguing with one or multiple of those variables . Every time we get pissed off at something , often intention is the one that we're getting the most frustrated with . But yeah , man , it's again . Like I said , i haven't fully fleshed out this idea , so this is a very raw idea of mine And I'd love to know if any of this clicks with any of you or if I'm just fucking rambling into this microphone right now . But it's a really interesting way of thinking about things .

Speaker 1 5:11

Just think about people or objects as just a collection of molecules And you're saying , man , these molecules shouldn't be here , they should be somewhere else . Or they should be here but at a different moment in time , or they should be here but they shouldn't be going in that direction , they should be going in this different direction . We're really just arguing with those three variables , with most of the things that we get pissed off at . You know , even you can kind of extrapolate this , even the big things like , let's say , someone breaks up with you , you can basically say they as a collection of molecules , their intention is wrong , the direction that they're wanting to go now is away from me because they're breaking up with me now . That's a wrong direction . They should have gone with me , they should be going in the same direction as me . So , again , this idea of mine is a little rough around the edges , but yeah , it's .

Speaker 1 5:59

I think I have something here , guys , like I would really love to know . You know , either leave a comment on my YouTube channel or send me an email if you wanna flesh this idea out , or help me flesh this idea out . But , taking it on a very like physical or physics nerdy kind of idea , everything in physics can sort of be explained by time , position and momentum or direction whatever you wanna call that last one And I kind of like thinking about people and objects and situations and all of that in the same sort of way . You're literally thinking on a very like metaphysical level , this thing that's happening right now that I'm pissed off about . I'm either pissed off at the time , the position , or the coordinates and the direction . So it's a really interesting philosophy , at least to me . If this resonated with you , i would love to hear it . If not , hey , i'll be back with plenty more normal content in the next couple of days , as always .

Speaker 1 6:55

Ladies and gentlemen , i want you to go out there . I want you to grab those goals with both hands . I want you to attack those goals . I want you to crush your goals . I want you to reach greatness . You all deserve it . You're all wonderful human beings . I appreciate you being here . Go have fun with life , cause that's all this is . This is just a fun little game , a fun joke , cosmic joke . Let's enjoy it and let's play this with all that we've got .
