Welcome to this new day
Porn is a waste
We both know that
I regret that I wasted my best years on it
Instead of enjoying sex and love at the peak level
When my hormones—and senses were at their peak
But there’s also another important type of waste for these best years
I wasted a lot of time on porn and also video games
FIRST
Developing practical skills
- Programming
- Playing the guitar
- Being good with my hands
I was good but in a very different way
Unpractical
If I had known programming, I would’ve been much better at marketing myself online when the Internet was in its infancy
If I had picked up the guitar earlier, I would’ve been much better at it now
If I had learned to be a craftsman, I would’ve been able to do a lot of things around my house myself
My Dad is an amazing example
I suck at that
SECOND
Instead of porn time, I should’ve developed my business more
I spent my twenties building a translation business
And it’s still active and bringing me money today
But it could have been so much more
If I had chosen to develop my skills as an owner rather than an operator of the business
I was working 80-hour weeks but as a translator and editor — an operator
And then in my free time, I would go to porn as a coping mechanism for boredom
Instead of developing business skills such as marketing or delegation of responsibilities or employee motivation
You are making my mistake with porn
Wasting your best years on porn or video games—or whatever your flavor of waste is
Your late teenage years, twenties, and early thirties
This is the time when you need to be setting a foundation for your Life INSTEAD
If you don’t do it now, it’s going to be so much harder later
Doc?
Physically, this is when you’re at the top of your game
Your hormone levels are great
You are resilient
Your mind is fresh
If you waste those years:
It’s going to be harder in your late thirties, forties, and so on
Because of decreasing hormones, neurotransmitters, declining health and motivation
Here’s another personal example
I love soccer
I’d have loved to become a professional soccer player
But I will never be able to do that because it’s too late
I don’t have the physical conditioning to do that at 40
I should’ve done that at 10
So I want you to do two things — those that I failed to do
First, start building practical skills instead of watching porn:
- Programming
- Marketing
- Video editing
- Playing a musical instrument
When you are 30 and you look back
You might be in one version of your life
Where you are a developed human being, with tons of practical skills
You can always find something to do well and helped people with
And even impress them with — like playing the guitar
This is porn-free and regret-free version — version 2.0
And the second version is where you have nothing to show
All you had done was watching porn
That is porn-full and regretful version — version 1.0
Second, and even more importantly, I want you to keep looking for your life purpose
Instead of watching porn, you find something that really inspires you
You go do it and create a career or business out of it
You work on it for as long as you want
You build a business that sustains you
You build a name for yourself
You create an investment income
You buy a house
I wish someone told me this when I was 15 or 25
You don’t have to make my mistake
Finally, I want to say this
A lot of young people have erectile dysfunction these days
And there are reasons for this
Endless distraction
Endocrine disruption
Environmental disaster
But there’s also one thing that people miss
Erection is a reflection of how you appear in the world as a man
Erection is a reflection of your energy
You sit alone watching porn
Coasting through life
Then you feel down
And you don’t have the energy
To drive erection
You give up porn
You find a job you enjoy and do well
Then you feel you have the world by the balls
And you feel high energy in your balls
For a strong erection
So that’s another reason to give up porn and build your skills and career
A stronger erection
Look, here’s a hilarious perspective
If you want to watch porn
It’s even fine with me
Let’s just have an agreement
Build your life now
And watch porn later
When you have that foundation for your life
Yeah, it’s a joke
But if you think about it there’s some truth to it
If you always have dessert before the main meal
You end up fat and sluggish
With a limp dick
A hero with a limp dick?
No
You’re better than that
I know that just because you’ve taken on this 30-day challenge
I wish I could give you a hug
A real hero
A hero right here
Thank you for joining me today
I can’t wait to see you tomorrow
