How To Cut Out The Noise, And Find Your Calling

Making your life even 5% better is still an improvement

Robert Greene is a soft spoken gangster. This guy changed my life.

4 years ago I stop listening to people and started betting on myself. Maybe because my lineage did not come with proper mentoring but I am glad I am here now.

Remember who you were before all the things happened to you. Find out who little you was. At 8,9,10. Whenever the world crushed you, go back to just before that happened and ask them what they wanted. And what made them happy. And chase what they tell you. I promise you'll find happiness.

Regular reflection through journaling not only clarifies our deepest passions but also fuels the courage needed to pivot towards a life that truly reflects our unique aspirations and values.

My father always said “every advice is bad advice” and when you get older and older you realise the only person you should be listening is yourself.

We lost who we were when society turned us into thinkers, then into overthinkers, instead of the KNOWERS we all KNOW we are.

TL;DR: How to get unstuck: (from paycheck to paycheck / unfulfilling life) 1. Think about what excited you when we’re young 2. Start moving in that direction 3. Think about what you need to learn/know to move in that direction and learn that nights & weekends 4. Think about what part time entry-level job or side hustle/project would move you in that direction. Research it and start doing it nights and/or weekends (side hustle) 5. Do this until you can go full time in that direction. 6. Don’t forget to save money as always. Worst case, you fall back on the shitty job and try again.

Robert Greene and Jordan Peterson are monumentally positive influences for me as a young man.

Many people find themselves at 50. It is not ideal, but it is quite remarkable because the years of life and work experience can fuel the way forward.

Currently in the middle of this now brother Von. Thank you for this video. It helped me to trust my moves towards my ultimate purpose. That example you gave is what happened to me. I was 21 when my son was born. Had to grow up quick and learned a lot from mistakes. My son now is 13. I’m 34 and I’m starting to feel the universe opening up for me again. 🙌🏼

I wish I would’ve found something when I was in my early 20’s, but I wasted my youth playing video games and now I’m 41.

5:24 boom, there we go. I can wholly agree on this - it's part of the deep fascination with nostalgia at times because of a deeper passion we have in our earlier years and it can be engaged in the present with our current skills now, hone the existing and new skills in the passion direction. Any new skills that we aspire and have had that burning fanatical desire for but just felt afraid, explore em - technical, creative - expressive of something we wanted to be, never too late, we're alive and thrive from doing the bold route.

Robert Greene is my Hero!!!

It's great advice. In my 20s I was stuck in a job that I hated and could imagine doing for another day much less 30 more years. I had gotten myself in trouble with the law. I had a mortgage that I needed to pay which restricted how many risks I could take. eventually I made a plan, got accepted into grad school in a field that excited me. I sold my house, got a part time job and went to grad school. I was exhilarated by the fact that I had changed my path and used this energy to power through the two years of working and studying. Then I got the dream job overseas that I wanted and found the woman I had been looking for. All this to say, yes, it can be scary but you can find your path.

I’ve been on my Robert Greene content lately. Books and YouTube mostly. Great to see that this collab came up because Theo always makes the video one of a kind, and asks a lot of great questions.

Theos point on responsibility really touched with me, no space/time to do anything

Thank you Theo for bring this guest on! I really needed to hear this
