I AM WINNING.....everytime someone likes it will remind me

I’m 21 years old, and in the last 3 years I’ve been winning at life, I’ve worked 4 jobs at the same time, started 2 businesses, moved my parents out their old house, got in the best shape of my life, but from the beginning of this year, I’ve fallen in a downward spiral, this video, at this moment gave me so much motivation to get back to work it’s incredible. I leave this here, because I’m going to be back in 6 months, on November 12 2024 and give an update about how I progressed, and trust me, I’ll be back as a winner.

Your uncle is right, using his videos I managed to go from being a decade + blue collar worker (cleaner to be precise) to an AI engineer with multiple degrees (top universities) in just under 7 years and now an engineer. I was an adult/mature student and was in the same class as 17 year olds who bragged about attending schools for the gifted. Guess what, all the praising their parents did for them set them back terribly. I graduated first and was the only one who was able to land multiple professional job offers. I always hype myself even for the smallest things. Showing up in class on time, "great job", turning off the lights after a long day, "you did great". Day to day, I do not compare myself because we all have different starting points and circumstances. There is only one of me. Most importantly, I learned how to set goals on different levels, track and measure my efforts and define the right metrics. You can't really compare how well one video did over another despite same effort because there are many parameters unknown to you that are beyond your functional control or tweaking. We do not live in a deterministic world. When it comes to winning you literally have to decide you are a winner, and let that be your identity despite what "results" you see. Effort by itself is one of the biggest most underrated things, most people never even start, remaining in the game by itself is a winning metric. Measure the right things, but most importantly define your bigger goals before you start tweaking your days because that will be your NorthStar. You also have to trick your brain into continuing to see yourself as a winner, sponsor the right thoughts and not disempowering thoughts like "I put the same effort in both videos and one did poorly", that is not empowering. You also can't overly rely on external feedback and validation from your viewers, at the end of the day, what you say and think of yourself despite external evidence is what matters to you. All the best and remember you're already a winner by virtue of being born on this beautiful planet and having life in you.

This is the guy that got me into selfimprovement when I was 15. It's been 3 years since then and I'm convinced, he's the most underrated youtuber out there. If you're reading this Leon: I don't think you understand how inspiring you actually are. You're absolutely amazing, never stop posting videos or I'll probably cry myself to sleep.

The first point of "winning is subjective" reminded me of a monk's story who was building a wall, as part of the monastery construction, and upon finishing it he noticed 2 crooked bricks. He got so annoyed with himself for making such mistake. He couldn't fix it anymore as the wall dried up and there's been lots of work done at this point. He left it and every time he looked at the wall he could only see those 2 crooked bricks...until another monk came and said "you built a beautiful wall". He responded "but look at those 2 crooked bricks" to which the other monk responded " what about those other 998 bricks that you placed perfectly well? ". Don't hold to your 2 crooked bricks.

This is the most no-nonsense video on how to start turning your life around I’ve ever watched— and I’ve watched tons. Thank you for being real and insightful.

A little resume for me to re-look the important points: 1- Acknowledge and count your wins(that makes you boost your motivation to get more wins) 2-Reward efforts, not outcomes(fall in love with the process, not only the outcomes, not its good to feel demotivated for a loss) 3- Easy wins first, then stack(If you win once in a little thing this are going to help you to win the next one) 4-Build self-trust in your word(never say things that you aint going to do) 5- Manage expectations(Not having unreal expectations, being realistic) 6- Visualization( Our mind dont notice the difference between reality and imagination). Thanks for the video :thanksdoc:

Leon losing subscribers/ viewers proves that his style of teaching works — True winners wouldn’t constantly need to view videos like this on youtube, right? .. At around the age of 16, Leon was also one of the first channels that sparked my interest into this whole kind of topic. For that I wanna say THANK YOU.

You don't know how much I needed to hear this today. I was talking to my brother about this. Long story short. I got my MBA this year but lost my job. So instead of feeling like I accomplished anything I felt like more of a failure. Our relationship with outcomes and the process is everything.

Dude, I have been unproductive my whole day but after watching this, I have done 3 days worth of work (in my usual pace) in the last 4hrs. Your videos are so inspiring!

I think what makes your videos slightly less popular given their quality is one of the main reason I (and presumably others) love them: they aren't riddled with dopamine rigging visual and audio effects that most people seem to have gotten accustomed to (but that I loathe). Hopefully you keep doing it this way. Keep up the good work!

I've been watching your channel for quite a while and I have to say that this is probably one of the most informative videos you've posted. Just know we all appreciate you.

Man, you are on to something. Especially your last point. When i was visualising, success was eminent. When i stopped doing it, motivation and energy went down slowly and it's hard to get back out from it. I stopped rewarding myself for little wins. In fact, i took things for granted making things worse. This was the video i needed to see. Thanks Leon!

I've been working on being disciplined for the past two weeks and was wondering why after some time I lack motivation. This video has made me see what I was doing wrong. Thanks so much for this.❤❤

You add a ton of value to the world by making people’s lives better. It is more than a lot of people do with their lives. Keep fighting on ✊. Keep moving

What your content stands out to me than the other self improvement youtubers is that you talk about a "philosophical" aspect of self improvement and very few creators i've came across so far doing that and not just the basic stuff like go to gym or take care of yourself etc like this video where you discuss new interesting ideas which is so refreshing to see! Keep up the good work! :)

My take from the video: This guy is simply visualizing Andrew Huberman as his uncle.

Leon, I just found your channel and I really am impressed with this video. I want to say, specifically, your 6th remark, visualization, means so much to me. I didn't see it coming, but when you brought it up, I immediately identified with it. Great work, sincerely.
