WTF 085: Do You Fear Not Living Up To Your Potential?”

from WTF Should I Do W/ My Life?! · host Jacob Sokol

Welcome to the WTF Should I Do w/ My Life?! podcast. Lately I’ve become a fucking warrior. Something clicked, and I’ve entered into a completely new mode of operating: I’m meditating every single day - 100% no skip days. I’m taking cold showers every single day - 100% no skip days. I stopped masturbating - as a single man, this ain’t no walk in the park. I’m working out 6 days a week - occasionally 2x per day. And I've been skipping down the sidewalks of New York! SKIPPING!!! (...to challenge my fear of what people think of me.) It’s like I’ve become Unleashed. And this is just the beginning… I’m on the verge of signing up for a 10 day silent meditation retreat… or going to do martial arts… or competing in my first Spartan Race. The craziest part about all this... IT FEELS EFFORTLESS. And because of this powerful energy inside me, it feels like my dreams are inevitable. So what changed? Why am I doing this? And how can you benefit from this too? 8 months ago my life was good, comfortable, and successful by most people’s standards. Shit, it was successful even by my own standards back then. But after some huge growth earlier in my career, I realized it was now only improving marginally. And despite my hard work ethic, I wasn’t getting to the level I really wanted to. Looking back, I started to secretly doubt if the massive success I once dreamed of was actually possible for me. So I told myself I didn’t need anything more than what I currently had. I was using “gratitude” as a crutch for “settling”. Thankfully, I listened to that little voice of wisdom inside which urged me to slow down and take a hard honest look in the mirror. And as I did, I got the sense that I was valuing comfort more than living up to my potential. And it was time for a massive change! I’ll save the play-by-play details of what’s happened in the 8 months since then, but essentially, I made a series of hard, yet liberating decisions... I pressed pause on my biz growth, ended my 4 year relationship, went offline to reinvent myself, and committed to becoming the man who’s capable of creating a “10 out of 10” life in every single area... (impact, love life, finances, health, fun, lifestyle, family, etc.) During that time, I traveled thru Africa, Russia, and Amsterdam in a deeply introspective state, studying cutting edge neuroscience and piecing together the secrets of human transformation. Suddenly it hit me… “I know exactly what my next mission is!” While researching brain-science, I realized that most personal development courses fall short of delivering lasting change because they don’t address all parts of the human operating system. Sure, you can make some progress in one area, but without getting the complete picture of how the human operating system works, you’re living on unstable foundations. And you’re definitely not accelerating your growth at a rate that’ll bring your full potential to life. So I decided to take on the ambitious task of creating a process that methodically takes you through the steps of unleashing your potential and transforming into the next level of what’s possible for you. That’s why I’m excited to announce the unveiling of my new program... Unleashed... a 5-month “growth accelerator” for 12 selective bad-asses who dare to go head-on into their greatness. By becoming Unleashed... You’ll shatter the self-imposed limits that have stopped you from achieving more success, happiness, and freedom - and know you’re contributing to the world in a way that actually matters.
