The Golden One - Depression and Purpose in Life

00:00:00.000 The first question is a really important one. It hit me right in the feels, it hit

00:00:11.400 me right in the heart and I think a lot of guys can relate to this so I'm gonna

00:00:15.360 read out the question for you right now. How do you find a purpose in life? At the

00:00:20.640 moment I'm in the last year of high school and I'm depressed as shit, nothing 0.94

00:00:24.720 really fun and I don't see any reason to do anything anymore. Yeah I fucking feel 0.98

00:00:30.480 you brother. Let me first of all say this to everyone, every true friend who's 0.98

00:00:34.840 watching this like, for what it's worth I am with you. I'm trying to give my

00:00:40.160 support the best I can. So if that makes anyone happier I'm happy also. Okay so

00:00:46.880 let's get you out of there as soon as possible. Let's, everyone who can relate

00:00:50.560 let's get you out of there as soon as fucking possible. Now the problem is that 0.99

00:00:54.360 you don't really have anything to look forward to. So I'm gonna, I'm gonna keep

00:00:58.600 it simple. I'm gonna set up three quests for you, three epic quests, three missions

00:01:06.120 that you have to fulfill. I gave you three months. Every fucking day I want you to,

00:01:11.120 when you go to bed like, I want you to think through these three goals and say to 0.99

00:01:14.640 myself like, have I done everything I can to come forward, to come closer to those

00:01:22.600 goals. So we're gonna start that. You're gonna increase your deadlifts by 30 kilos.

00:01:27.240 I'm just taking one gym example. It can be in the bench, the squat, in the push press, in

00:01:32.440 the weighted chins, whatever. It can be, if you're not even in the gym, if you like

00:01:36.840 something else, some activity. Like obviously you have to train, if you don't

00:01:40.760 train you, you must do that. Like set up a goal and I'm just gonna say that for the

00:01:46.240 simplicity of goal. 30 kilos in the deadlifts right now. Three months you have that. No

00:01:52.440 impossibility. There is your fucking goal and when you reach that I want you to 1.00

00:01:56.920 hug yourself, send me a virtual high-five and I hug you back. That's a good idea. 1.00

00:02:03.080 The second plan is I want you to get a girlfriend. Work towards that every day. 1.00

00:02:07.880 Like read up on resources on how to talk to women, how to dress appropriately, how to 0.98

00:02:13.320 conduct your body language, everything like that. I want you to try to talk to

00:02:18.200 girls as much as possible. I'm not talking about hitting on girls. I'm

00:02:21.240 saying like being comfortable, just having conversation with girls, being

00:02:26.040 more confident in yourself, that sort of thing. And that will also help you with

00:02:30.920 depression because you have to have someone to basically human contact. Like

00:02:36.440 I love cuddling. I need cuddles. Like I do because that's that closeness to

00:02:41.400 another human being is very important. Then obviously other urges as well. So if you

00:02:46.120 don't already have a girlfriend, get a girlfriend. You have three months for

00:02:49.000 that. Spend each day thinking like oh I'm gonna be a fucking James Bond to be 0.99

00:02:54.520 more attracted to women. And then you get a girl and then she'll help you and 0.99

00:02:58.440 then you will feel better. The third thing I would like you to do is pick

00:03:05.080 five books and read them. I know it can be boring as fuck in the 0.99

00:03:09.880 beginning. I know you'll think like oh what's even the point with this. But when 0.99

00:03:14.120 you've read those five books you will have learned a lot and you think like

00:03:17.880 oh you know I actually read five books. I'm beginning to get

00:03:21.160 good at this. And then you pick out a new book. So it becomes

00:03:23.960 kind of like a hobby. So five books. Any books you

00:03:29.400 would like. I can link my book section down below

00:03:33.000 also. So those three goals. So anyone who's in

00:03:36.920 this situation. Get a goal. Work towards it.

00:03:41.720 Work so fucking hard that when you go to sleep at night you'll be like 0.99

00:03:44.760 fuck I wish the day was longer. I wish I had more hours on the day. So do not 1.00

00:03:48.600 squander any time. Have this fucking fire. Have this 1.00

00:03:51.480 fucking sense of urgency. Like you can't 1.00

00:03:54.440 you can't waste a minute because you're on a fucking goal. You want to get there as 0.99

00:03:57.720 soon as possible. All right so basically it's about

00:04:00.520 getting a goal going forward towards that goal

00:04:04.120 and feeling every day that you've come closer to it. So that's basically get a

00:04:07.640 sense of urgency. Set up goals. Have something to look forward to.

00:04:12.040 Second question from our man Andreas Ström who wonders

00:04:16.120 Can you teach us mere mortals how to easier withstand

00:04:19.240 temptations like junk food and other unhealthy stuff?

00:04:22.920 Now it all depends like junk food

00:04:26.520 junk food isn't always bad but if you're cutting

00:04:30.200 it will be more beneficial to you to eat a bit healthier. Now I've been in

00:04:36.520 this game for so long so I don't really like the term healthy and

00:04:39.080 unclean and clean but yeah if you have the choice between eating a pizza and

00:04:44.280 a few apples during a cot you need to be shredded then obviously go for the

00:04:47.720 apples. What you have to do if it comes to

00:04:49.800 hunger you have to occupy yourself with other things like gaming

00:04:53.400 is perfect for this like because then you distract yourself away from the

00:04:56.920 hunger. If it's just the case that a few mates are having pizza and you're

00:05:01.800 having something else just go in the mindset that you are

00:05:05.640 like you know a bit cocky thing to say but you you have to think like I'm 0.94

00:05:09.560 superior I'm a fucking prime arc of glory here I'm trying to set myself to a 0.97

00:05:14.680 higher standard so you have to be like oh you know that's beneath me. 0.98

00:05:18.280 I've utilized it's this tactic for ages like it works really good for me I'll be 0.99

00:05:22.520 like I'm a fucking optimal elf of wisdom I'm a fucking um 0.98

00:05:26.520 you know prime mark of glory I don't need to do these things that mere 0.99

00:05:30.440 mortals do I am on a goal that is higher than

00:05:33.080 anything else uh so that kind of you know a bit

00:05:36.200 cocky attitude a bit superioristic attitude towards

00:05:40.040 temptations but if you know that something will hinder your progress like

00:05:43.800 your long-term goal then don't indulge in it

00:05:47.400 there are so many tactics but basically that has worked fine for me I will make

00:05:51.320 videos about it later on when I'm caught in the summer and perhaps feel a bit like

00:05:55.720 you know I want to indulge in some uh some blasphemous things

00:05:59.240 but basically the same can be applied to really anything if you feel like

00:06:03.160 watching porn or anything blasphemous like that

00:06:05.640 just say like is this worthy of me and if you think of

00:06:09.240 buying something that isn't you know in accord with your meal plan

00:06:12.920 say to yourself like is this worthy of me am I succumbing to

00:06:16.760 a temptation am I allowing this to you know show weakness in me show weakness in

00:06:22.280 my character then you'll be like no I'm stronger than that and then you push

00:06:25.160 through so that's basically my answer right

00:06:27.800 there last question what are your thoughts on Tess

00:06:31.800 monster signing to a major modeling agency now Tess monster is uh rather

00:06:37.080 huge to be honest like yeah I'm not gonna hate on her it's

00:06:40.600 you know congratulations to her but there is a problem with

00:06:43.480 accepting unhealthy ideals but then again like she's fat and that's unhealthy and I

00:06:49.320 don't want her to inspire other people to be fat but at the same time if we look

00:06:53.160 at the fitness industry the top bodybuilders aren't healthy for

00:06:57.960 they aren't healthy in any way so uh most models aren't healthy at all like 0.72

00:07:03.640 if you look at top bodybuilders or Tess monster like basically the same thing

00:07:07.560 so yeah it's regrettable but it goes all over the board

00:07:11.320 so can't really say like this is bad and this is not because

00:07:14.360 they're both bad and I just hope that more people realize that it's not okay

00:07:18.760 to be fat not because of the looks like you can look

00:07:21.480 however you want I don't judge anyone on that

00:07:24.280 but I do judge when fat people say it's okay to be fat and love yourself who it is

00:07:29.720 but that it has nothing to do with looks it

00:07:31.800 it's all about health and I don't want to pay their medical bills

00:07:35.320 so basically that's it and who am I

00:07:40.120 I'm your sincere true friend xx0
