Wow! Thank you so much for this video ZCP!

Crazy to think about how much of our life we waste on the treadmill.

You get what you accept.

If you are not doing exactly what you want to be doing, no longer accept that.

This is the intrinsic basis for an Unscripted life. You don’t even need to have read MJ’s books, if you simply understand “you get what you accept,” your life will have a substantially different outcome than if you didn’t understand that phrase.

It’s so simple, yet so easy to forget in day to day life. But it makes all the difference.

Great message but I think sometimes a lot of people don't know what they should be doing that would make them happier.

The video wasnt what I was expecting, I liked it.

Havent seen this on the forum, but are there threads discussing these issues(improving a job you hate)?
Sometimes a job is a must and to improve it you either have to quit it or step on someones toes.
I did both about 7 years ago, wasnt pleasent at all.
However, the result was worth it in the short term while the long term is still unscripting.

When I met my in-laws neighbor before my son was born I was discussing my work situation and how I probably need to get out of it once he is born (away from home over half the year). He gave me this quote to repeat and pretty much let the conversation end on it.

"How I see myself, is what I get"

... or you can save the motivational/existential drama and just cut off distractions (see dopamine detox). See how quickly you become productive.

Not rejecting the post, but it sounds too woo-woo.

I just thought it was a cool video that could get people to 'just get F*cking started'.

Two thoughts:
Everyone is at a different point in the journey.
You can find good in and things that can help you from any source.

Hopefully this and other posts I make become breadcrumbs to help people find their way!

The sad fact is that most people will resume living their shitty life and wasting it even after watching these videos. A video won't change their intrinsic motivations. That's why many people still smoke despite knowing the side-effects.
