Hopefully you can put that to some some good so What I'd like to do is maybe John if you could just tell us what is Pittsburgh good deeds How did it start? Where did it come from and and go from there? I guess the short answer is Pittsburgh good deeds is pretty much the uber of volunteering where it's a peer-to-peer system Someone makes a request one of our I think we're up to 2,700 people signed up now One of them will you know will a bunch of people look at the request someone will accept it and go and help them out and then how it started I guess the short version as I was I was like doing what I could to help people They guys, you know, I feel like I was pretty normal in that aspect like I would say yes if someone you know gave me a An easy thing like hey, I need I don't know like can you give me a dollar for the the bus? And I'm like, yeah, sure and then there was this one day where I was getting gas at this gas station It was a really busy day and this woman knocked on my window and she asked me She said hey, can you give me a ride to the battered women's shelter? And I said I kind of freaked out actually I was in the middle of like texting and eating a sandwich at the same time And I just didn't and I said no, sorry. I can't help you and then you know She walked away and was obviously upset and But there was like 30 seconds later. I was like, oh my gosh I can't I didn't even process what she asked me and it's like I got to help this person like I can at least You know give her a ride. Maybe I you know I got to find her and she was just absolutely gone completely disappeared And this gas station to It's right at the corner of South Braddock and Penn in Wilkinsburg and there's nowhere She could have gone like there's not a door. She could have walked in for the gas station, you know You can see miles in every direction. I'm like this lady just disappeared So I felt terrible. I felt absolutely horrible And not because I owed her anything Rightly, none of us owe anyone anything really But I just the sadness was What would my have saying yes? Created in her life to spawn a difference like what if I just gave her a ride What what would be different now for her and that that like thought of what the power of a yes Could do really just kind of haunted me. So I made a mid-year's resolution I can't remember what month it was but it wasn't December and I said for the next 12 months anytime Someone asked me for help. I'm gonna do it no matter what it is as long as it's legal as long as no one gets hurt I'm gonna do it and that kind of put me on this path of you know finding all these Really amazing and sometimes weird Good deeds and I was doing it. I was cranking them out and it was amazing And then I made a name for myself and people asked how they could you know how they could do this And then that's where it fits very good deeds And sorry, that was too long of an answer. That was that was good. Yeah. No, I think it's a good What wait hold on guys wait? Jason How are you Marty doing here? Heard about this live show I saw it on popped up on my phone.

So I didn't have to say yes anymore I could I can kind of pick and choose but my heart really felt led to um answer this instagram post Where a daughter was trying to find a kidney for her father and I told myself like yeah This is a little nuts But I'll look into it and then I talked to him and I was like, okay This is less scary and then I said well, I'll get tested and if it's an exact match I'll do it and then it was an exact match and I'm like, okay Well, I got to do it and then I ended up giving um this guy's name is Mike my kidney That's incredible That's an amazing gift of life. I mean you're you're building homes fixing cars giving out toilet paper and Every once in a while a kidney Every once in a while.  Yeah I have I have this affinity for Minimalism as much as I can it's it's not like a I don't know. It's more of a hobby than anything else. So everyone always makes fun of my um my smartphone I have Oh, the camera's gone. I have the world's smallest smartphone. It's the size of a credit card So like if you look at it in terms of my hands Absolutely micro so I just I don't know it's just it's goofy to me It's like a fun conversational thing, but I fell in love with these um These japanese these micro trucks and they're legal to import and they get great gas mileage and I just I I love it Yeah, I got my roof rack on there. I can put my ladders. I can haul, you know Thousand something pounds and I just I kind of love to flip the whole perception of what a contractor Is or even a what a man is I guess, you know Like I love just rolling up to home depot on this and then everyone's making fun of me and they're like Wow, that's a baby truck and like, you know They're saying all these mean things but then they seem to like load up a whole truck Apply what to make these desks and then everyone's like, where do you get that? Like I want one of those and I don't know. I just like to I like to make people question what What it is to be normal what it is to do these things and I don't know that's that's that's my love for for obscure tiny things I love it. How fast does it go? It goes up to 70. I I went for it. I mean if the acceleration is minimal, but I can make it on the highways Yeah Marty, I think we need one of those. Yes. I think we need one too They're for aging How do you get in the back is it is that just like a dumpster or are there don't I can't see what's behind No, it behind me there are doors.

I actually did build a house out of that thing I built a little a tiny home. So, you know, it's you can do a lot with a little Yeah, well, Michelle has been bothering me. She really wants to get a unique Trucker band and we actually I don't know if it's the same that you said this was a Japanese vehicle, right? Yeah, that's what we saw as well. I don't remember the name of it now is more like a It was like a Subaru. I thought Well, no, it was like a carousel. Well, I think Subaru does have a Like a line of it, but it's almost like a caravan and had like a glass ceiling Oh, yeah, I know the one you're talking about. Yeah, those are cool Yeah, this one is actually more practical. But I think for the type of work that we do To contain it like bright pink or yellow. Oh, yeah, that'd be sweet Maybe I should get a heather in this shell's reaction to this one. So This is this is our friend Dave. Dave owns a place called USA flooring in Kitsune. Yeah He is He's he's probably making them laugh because Dave is actually one of the funniest guys ever And I wish he could be on the show with us. Unfortunately. He can't He uh, it's on the water board and he says he sits on the water board to make sure that nobody pees in the water of his town He wants to make sure that it's perfectly clean So, um, that's what he's doing tonight So so but when he he saw that we were having you on the show and he started looking into You know, what it is that you do and how you help people What he wanted to do was offer you to come out to a shop Pick out a carpet for any size room that you're working on You know that for one of the the folks that you're helping and grab some carpet and take it with you In that tiny truck now that I know that it's whole stuff. Oh, that's really awesome He's a good guy That's amazing. Yeah, that is amazing Wow, I actually I do Um, I don't know. I'll talk to him, but this is we my wife and I just bought a home and we uh We're I told you we're gonna we're gonna foster soon and um, you know, so we're gonna use that and then I mean in the past We've always taken on some homeless people who needed it and like put them in our spare bedroom So I wonder I'll talk to them But we do have one room that could really use carpet But if um if that doesn't work I can always find someone who is not me who needs carpet as well But that's that was your generous of them Yeah, thank you. Dave. It's great. Thank you Dave So we appreciate that Okay, so um, john, you know I think we can maybe wrap this show up a little bit But is there anything you want to leave the the people watching and and that'll come later and watch this Is there anything you want to leave with them? um, man, I so I mean, I appreciate all the help and support obviously I can't do this stuff without without this kind of help to monetary and just encouragement So I really appreciate that.

That learning channel show, Milf Manor, we binged it. All six episodes of season one, episode seven comes on Sunday the 12th. It is a wonderful, guilty pleasure. It's white lotus without the quality. Doesn't sound good.  I'm Rick. You can follow us on Instagram, Twitter for more juicy content. Follow us on Patreon, follow us on Twitter to subscribe and like button. The like button. Because why? The like, like, like. Why do it? It helps the algorithm. Which is what we all want. If we were running for Congress, that'd be our campaign. We will help the algorithm. That's goddamn true. And we'd win. Today, this is a video, it's called, The Unseen Truth of India, World Needs to Know. Ooh. The Unseen Truth of India, World Needs to Know. We're going to look under the underpants. Well, I mean, The Unseen Truth, Kamasutra, I'm assuming. Yeah, the Girls of Kamasutra. Which we've already watched, what, 100 and 150 times. It's my favorite movie. Yeah. Greatest film ever made. I agree. I don't know. I'm assuming it's just... The Unseen Truth of India, The World Needs to Know. Hopefully there's some stuff we don't know. I'm assuming there's been a lot we've heard before. We've been doing this for four years now. There's always new things. Here we go. What is the first image comes to your mind when you hear the name of India? Like this. Shah Rukh Khan. Right?  Okay, let me show you something different. Honestly, they don't really talk about India. I say, this is India. But you believe me? Maybe not. Because most probably you have never seen India in this way. But actually, this is real India which has been hidden from you. The slums, busy and chaotic cities you see on TV or mobile is only a smallest part of India. India is actually pretty normal. And this is the one thing that a lot of people don't understand about India. Okay, let me show you some major cities of India. This is Mumbai. This is Delhi. This is... Delhi? This is Gurgaon. This is Noida. This is Hyderabad. This is Pune. This is Bangalore. Really not a lot of skyscrapers. No, that video opened behind me too. This is Khaane. And there are many such modern cities in India. Okay, let's come to the ruler part of India.  Right? Some of them. Actually, this is not even 5% part of Indian villages. More than 95% of Indian villages are looked something like this. Due to the large population of India, the Indian villages are also so big. Look at this. This is not a city or town, but it's a village. But Madhapur, located in the Indian state of Kuchira. After a lot of struggle in 1947, when India got independence from the British Empire, India's economy was only 25 billion dollars. Even in 1991, India's economy was less than the economy of Paris and London. And now India has more economy than the France and the UK.  India's economy was ranked 10th in the world. But now in 2022, India has become the fifth largest economy in the world with a huge GDP of 4 billion dollars. India has overtaken five major economies like Canada, Russia, Italy, Brazil, France and the UK. And this is really impressive. India is the fastest clean visually in the world. California is ahead of you. California is ahead. Oh yeah, India is an extremely fast growing e-commerce. India is the most powerful military in the world. And with a budget of 76.6 billion dollars, India has the largest savings budget in the world. You see that number of the United States? That's why we don't have health care. With 1.15 million reserve personnel and over 2.52 million para military, the Indian military is the largest military in the world with a total of 5.13 million military personnel. India is also a nuclear armed country. The country has heard some of the most powerful anti-sacrificed weapons such as intercontinental ballistic missiles, Agni-5, Agni-6, K-5 and K-6 which has a massive range of 5,000 km to 12,000 km. Even some experts say that India hid a dangerous weapon called Agni-7 or Surya which has a massive range of 12,000 km to 16,000 km. There are only four countries in the world that have anti-sacrificed weapons and India is one of them. India has capability to destroy the communication system of any country in the world by destroying their satellite in this space. That'll be the next world war just shooting rockets. Among the world's top and most successful space agencies, ISRO has successfully launched over 386 foreign satellites for 36 different countries including satellite of USA, Germany, France and the UK and successfully launched over 130 foreign Indian origin satellites. There are many, many misconceptions about India have been born in the world especially in the West and that's why many people make the mistake of underestimating India. For example, in 2013 when India announced that India will also send its satellite and rover to Mars, the New York time made fun of India like this. But after just one year... What the heck? India became the first country in the world to reach Mars in the first attempt and just a few years later, in 2017, India created an incredible world record by launching 140 satellites from a single rocket and then India made fun of New York time like this. Nice job. I like the pettiness. How successfully reached Mars and Moon both other are USA, Russia and China and among the five countries that have their own GPS navigation system other are USA, Russia, China and Japan. After USA and China, India has the highest number of billionaires in the world. As of 2022, India has total 237 billionaires. Unfortunately, none of them in the world should be around. Even two of the world's 10 largest stock accents are India. And India is said to be the largest stock market by 2030 with a total expected market cap of over 11 trillion dollars. It's supposed to be the world's largest? The world's fastest growing start-up ecosystem in 2014, India had only 400 start-ups and as of 2022, India has over 77,000 start-ups which makes India globally the third largest start-up ecosystem in the world after USA and China as well as India has the highest number of much younger working than China to the valuation of 341 billion dollars. So they're going to overtake China quite quickly. India has the most industrialized countries with a total output of 900 billion dollars and it is said to be the third most industrialized country by 2030 with the expected industrial output of more than 3 trillion dollars. Currently, India is the 8th largest exporter in the world. The export of India was 675 billion dollars in 2021 and the country is on the way to become the third largest exporter in the world by 2030 for more than 2 trillion dollars. India is emerging as factory of the world due to its large skilled workforce. Even in 2021, India overtaken USA and become the second most attractive manufacturing destination globally, second only to China cheaper production. India is the largest producer of tractor, two-wheeler, spice, dairy products, milk, ginger, turmeric and sugar. India is the second largest producer of smartphone, steel, semen, vegetable, fruit, rice, wheat and quarter. The largest producer of electricity, renewable energy, gems and jewelry. The largest producer of cars and crops. The Indian textile industry is the second largest textile industry in the world with a total valuation of 925 billion dollars. The country is well known as Herbo Information Technology, the annual revenue of Indian IT industry is more than 200 billion dollars and it is said to be 350 to 400 billion dollars in 2025 and more than 1 trillion dollars by 2030. Also known as the pharmacy of the world, the country's massive pharmaceutical industry is the source of more than 50% of global demand for various vaccines. India is the largest provider of generic drugs globally. Over 40% generic drugs in the USA and over 25% of all medicine in the UK are supplies by India. It is difficult to imagine how world would be able to combat AIDS without India because globally over 80% of antiretroviral drugs which is using to combat AIDS are supplies by India. Known as the potential superpower, India is the second most populous country in the world and its potential is unlimited. The country has largest young force in the world. More than 65% of its population below the age of 25 and more than 65% of its population below the age of 35 and this young power is helping India to become an economic superpower like USA, China and European Union. But still if you think that India is a poor country then let me tell you that Indian household owns the largest amount of gold, 25,000 to 30,000 and you probably have even more if British didn't steal at all. True. The economy of Australia, South Korea and Italy even India table alone have 4,000 to 5,000 tons of gold. Not shocking there. More than 300 billion dollars and is more than the economy of New Zealand and England. Indians are just love gold and jewelry and that's why India is the biggest consumer of gold silver, jewelry and gems. Gold is a good investment. Most people in the world use HDI and World Capital to criticize India. But they forget that India is the fastest growing visual economy in the world. Currently, India's HDI is considered in the medium category which is expected to move to the high human development category by 2025. Even to date 14 Indian states are comes in the high human development category and 13 Indian states are very close to achieve this and many Indian states have more GDP per capita than the per capita of many European countries. Well, India is 7 to 10 times cheaper than the Europe and America. India is just like China. As China developed itself in the past, today, India is developing in the same way. According to recent UN study the country has slept in more than 415 million people out of poverty since 2005 and according to World Bank, poverty in India has reduced by 12.3% between 2011 to 2019 from 22.5% in 2011 to only 10% in 2019. And according to recent study of IMF India has almost wiped out extreme poverty. The percentage of people living in the extreme poverty in India is only 0.8% now. The country is Mungudi rich culture and spirituality no country in the world as diverse as India. There are 28 states and 8 human territories in India and they all have their own culture music, languages, races and food. And no country in the world is more colourful than India even India has entire colourful cities like Jaipur, the city of pink, Pune food, the city of white, Jodhpur, the city of blue Jaisalmir, the city of cold and Kanyakumari, the city of 7 colours. India is the whole world itself.  India is transforming itself as global economic powerhouse. The country is going to the highest number of under construction mega projects in the world. Project Phalakma, cost 140 billion dollars. Project Sadarmala, cost 130 billion dollars. Project DMIC, cost 100 billion dollars. Projects 100 Smart City cost 100 billion dollars. These are few view project out of them. As well as the country is spending a massive amount of 1.5 trillion dollars to modernize and develop its infrastructure. Along with this seeing the growth of countries urbanization, India is also creating many new and futuristic cities like Gip City, Dolera SIR and Amravati Smart City. The fastest growing major economy, the fastest growing major stock market, the fastest growing start of ecosystem, healthcare technology, infrastructure and industries. India is performing excellent and this is what the world should know about India. And they have Shahrukh Khan which is probably the most important thing. That's the most important part. That was a good video. A lot of stuff and a lot of stuff we've seen before. It's definitely one of those things that because obviously there's a lot of videos like this because I think a lot of people in India are upset that a lot of people don't realize this about India. Sure. I know a lot of people in India think that all people in the west think is slums because that's what the west shows them but honestly the west doesn't really show them very much at all. At all. It's not that just like they're all constantly showing slums, slums, slums. They just don't really talk about India very much in the west here. No, I think I can speak for you in this. Our preconceived notions about India weren't based on current projections given to us. It was based on what we'd been shown many years ago and had never been updated. So we just assumed things were the way they've been. I think a lot of people, if you're just not paying attention, I mean, if you're in business you probably know. If you're an international traveler, you're in business, you know how India is on the up and up obviously. Absolutely. But if you're just a regular person you might not realize that India has such economic growth. No, and it's not because there's this massive amount of bad representation. There's no representation. There's just none. It's really just not talked about. Exactly, yeah. Probably just because, I mean, United States and India have never really been at odds. Not on the opposite ends, but they've also never really been partners very much. No, it's just it's a kind alliance. Yeah, we're kind allies and maybe once a year or once every two years we'll have a visit one way or the other. And that's pretty much it. It's like we don't hear a lot about a lot of our allies because everything's cool. Is India an ally though? Yeah, we're considered an ally. I thought they were just more neutral. No, they're definitely considered an ally. Because obviously they're an ally to Russia. And obviously we are not. Yeah. But I didn't know if we were just kind of like Switzerland neutral kind of thing. No, no, no. We definitely are one another's allies. Even though Switzerland is an ally, they're part of NATO. No, we are definitely we are allies. It's not the same for example as us in Canada. But yes, we are definitely allied. These kind of things for me are always when this much information and they're citing sources so fast that I just there's no way I could ever check these sources I take it with a giant grain of salt because it's one sided. Granted, I've heard a lot of this information before in terms of the economic growth of India. Which is obviously very true. I'm assuming they were counting California in United States, which is why it wasn't listed. They were doing it with countries rather than just places. But if you did include California as a country, it would be the fourth largest economy in the world. Correct. California, baby, ask what Florida is. Bitches.  If you live in Florida, I'm sorry for you.  It's the tickling taint of the United States. Very nice. We haven't watched it in a long time. Well put. There's obviously some things in there that are eyebrow raising for me that, again, can't substantiate. But yes, I would say the majority of the stuff that's on there, which is unseen truths, plural. There wasn't just one truth in here that there would be a lot of surprises. I think the amount of information, especially with the totality of the 12 minutes being the climax of a Marvel movie soundtrack is a bit, by the time you get five, six minutes in it becomes numbing. I totally understand. If there was some information that was wrong, or you should clarify, please let us know what that is in the comments below. I do think if you weren't us who does this every single day, a lot of this information might be very, very new. I think the majority would be very, very new. In terms of a lot of people just assume India is a very poor country still. Our parts obviously of India that are still very, very poor. There are. I find it hard to believe. I would want to check the stat, and it sounds like it can be politicized. I find it really hard to believe that they've eliminated extreme poverty. I find that really hard to believe. I think that's a specific way, extreme poverty. And so what's the next level? Is it kind of poverty? Right. Exactly. To find the adjective extreme and to... Because that's tough for me to swallow. I think it's the word extreme is the key. I don't know how much extreme poverty we have here. It might be 1-8, but we have poverty. We have a bunch of poverty here. To find that. We have a bunch of poverty here, especially in minority groups. You make 500 rupees a year. If you had made 499 rupees a year, you would have been an extreme poverty. I don't know what the stat is, I'm just saying it's a little strange. Anyways, if there's any information like that, please let us clarify it for us down below in other videos that we can react to down below. Thank you.


The refugee crisis is one of the most pressing issues of our time. More than 5,000 people died trying to reach Europe last year alone. 25,000 have died since the year 2000. However, the discourse in Britain and across fortress Europe has been dominated by racism and fear, rather than by compassion and solidarity. In the UK, doctors, landlords and teachers are being made to act as border guards as Theresa May seeks to create a hostile environment for migrants. Women who've been trafficked and raped are being charged to give birth, cancer patients are being denied treatment and black and minority ethnic British citizens are being forced to prove they are entitled to free healthcare. A progressive mainstream stance is largely missing within this. While Labour under Jeremy Corbyn has certainly been an improvement, the issue of immigration is largely sidelined by the broader parliamentary left in the hope that if we ignore it, somehow it might just go away. However, the movement against detention centres is growing, with a recent hunger strike by women in Yarswood highlighting the injustice, racism and abuse inherent to the system. It now feels like a real possibility that detention centres could be shut down if a Labour government came to power. Navarra media is spending the next fortnight putting immigration back on the agenda. We will be covering the topic in depth, highlighting issues that are often overlooked or misunderstood, shifting the conversation and countering myths that have gained traction even on the left. Stay tuned.


The idea there is, the beauty of it is that you can start from the couch, right? If you haven't worked out in five years, you can still come do laser tag fitness. You can start out sniping, barely moving around. But we don't want people sniping and barely moving around long term. So the heart rate monitor with the bonus encourages you to get moving. And that's what I think is so fascinating about the model behind what you're doing is that it's not getting a work up playing laser tag. It's a workout primarily and everything around it, even though laser tag is part of it, is built towards getting you a workout. It's not just kids running around and also getting a little bit of exercise. It's folks who are serious about their fitness routine can add this in because they know if they're serious about it, they can stay at those cardio heart rate levels. They can burn those calories. They can develop that muscle. They can do all of that. It's a serious workout for serious people if they want it to be. Yeah, 100% right.


So in this video I'll explain to you exactly why setting really really high goals is actually much more effective even if you're let's say in debt or in a scarcity mindset where you just need that $5,000 or $2,000 more or you just need to lose that 10 pounds or just finding that one girl even in these cases why it's actually best and most effective to set really really long term super huge massive goals so I'll start this off by quoting Bruce Lee who said famously that goals aren't actually things that are meant to be accomplished of course you would like to accomplish them but their purpose isn't to be accomplished their purpose is to serve as aims so things we can actually aim for and then you know hope for the best and hope we get as far out there as we can so I want to kind of use an analogy of comparing goals with destinations and I'm talking about logistical destinations as in you want to get from here to there physically so your destination your goal is going to be probably tell me if you're a different person but it's probably going to be what actually is the factor where you actually choose which type of vehicle you use so let's say that you have a small girl a small goal like oh I just need an extra $3,000 a month this is analogous to oh I just want to go from here to the local supermarket that's a three minute walk now let me ask you this now obviously I'm not saying that getting that money that you need is as easy as taking a walk to the supermarket but I'm talking about using distance of location as kind of a comparison to goals because if you look at the size of your goals I guess you would agree that wanting to have an extra 3,000 a month is really not the most furthest away goal you can set it's not like like aiming for a million for example it's kind of a different scope or a billion for that matter so let's say that you're planning for a trip a small trip because you're in scarcity so you just need that bit of money so you plan for a small trip oh I just need that bit of money I just need a bit more money and then I'll be happy that will fix my problems now if you plan on a small trip to the supermarket that takes three four minutes which vehicle are you most likely to use are you going to get a car I really don't think so like it's very rare that you'll use a car for a three minute drive a three minute walk so it's like a 30 second drive now would you use a plane to get from here to there of course not but would you walk sure now let's say that you set a medium-sized goal like okay I don't aim for just that 3,000 that would save me please I just need that bit of money against scarcity but let's move to a conservative type of goal where you think oh I'll just I just I want to have an extra 100,000 a year or I want to be a millionaire when I'm older now of course I don't just mean money you know fuck money I mean I mean everything I mean I just want to be this happier I just want to have a nice house I just want to be this famous or this successful I'm not looking for massive success no no I just want this much success I just need that much success okay so conservative everything it doesn't matter which area you're talking about don't just consider money we're talking about goals you know I just want to lose this much pounds I just want to be this much hella I don't want to be the best or I don't want to be like super super healthy no just this much so when you set these kinds of goals if it's the medium size well you know that's analogous to taking the car because if you're going to take a trip that takes a 10 minute drive 15 minute drive 20 minute drive obviously you know you're not going to walk that distance you could but it's not really effective it's kind of a waste of time um so you'll use the car now let's say that you're aiming really really big like I want to be mega mega famous I want to be super successful I want to be super famous I want to be super healthy I want to have mega relationships everything is is big and it's not big because I told you it's big because why the fuck not like let's aim big what's going to happen is that when you aim big you're probably going to go big and then you're going to take uh the the fastest vehicle you can afford uh might be an airplane for for our analogy but you know for for practical sake it just means you'll take the most amount like the biggest amount of massive action you can take if you do you think that if you just need that extra two thousand dollars a month you're going to take massive action like real real real massive action most likely not because these kinds of goals they don't aspire they're they're the goals out of necessity out of need so you actually aim for you know just an extra three thousand dollars you're probably going to get to an extra thousand extra two thousand and then now now that you have that extra money it doesn't feel as urgent anymore because because you kind of got a bit better you see but if you aim really big you know I mean you you can make an extra million and you'll still say okay wow I'm still super far away now I'm not saying you know never be satisfied in the sense that don't love your life like don't enjoy it until you have everything in the world like no that's not the point it's not to always be like chasing stuff the point is that you aim really far and then you keep going the movement is actually very very enjoyable it's not like something that you suffer you know I don't suffer because even though I have a good body already I keep going to the gym and getting even better I don't suffer because even though I am getting clients and everything is really cool I want to be even bigger and I'm not even one percent at my potential yet or at least at my goals which when I get to them I'll probably think oh I want I want it even bigger now so the bigger the goal uh the bigger the vehicle or the faster the vehicle that you'll use to get to the goal so the irony is that the guy who needs two thousand dollars and aims for that he actually will take more time if he even reaches that much money when you compare him to the guy who aims for a hundred thousand and the guy who aims for a hundred thousand is going to get the two thousand even slower probably than the guy who aims for a hundred million because the higher you aim the bigger you think and the more actions you're going to take because it inspires you more again don't set goals from the head I used to make that mistake like oh when I make this much money then I'll be happy no I'm talking about goals that already just thinking about that makes you happy like for me thinking about being famous is like fuck yeah like I just thinking about it I feel good thinking about being healthy fuck yeah thinking about being kind of mindful and present fuck yeah like how do you think I meditate an hour every day with so easily it's because I love the goal it's just it's a massive goal I don't want to be a bit more in the moment I want to be like bam you know and it's not that I won't be happy until then is that I have I'm happy pursuing it that's why on the sorry for all the Americans if I'm mistaken I'm so sorry but that's why in the in the bill of rights I think constitution bill of right in one of them oh in the declaration of independence there's the saying the pursuit of happiness the right for the pursuit of happiness maybe it was intentional maybe it was a mistake maybe thought happiness is something you actually reach at some point but no the the pursuit of what makes you happy is the happiness it's it's a very um it's a very cool thing like going after the things that make you happy makes you happy and then getting them makes you even happier and sometimes you don't get them and that makes you a bit less happy but but just going after them in general makes you happy the mistake that most people make is that they go after things that are that from a scarcity standpoint that will prevent pain so when you always focus on preventing pain then uh the further along you get the more you're like okay I have to prevent this pain even more oh my god it's not stopping I have I need even more prevention more but when you go after what makes you happy what right now makes you makes you happy not possibly theoretically in the future but just thinking about it makes you happy then uh you know it's like oh I'm so happy I'm going after what I want and then you you get a bit of it you look oh my god I'm getting some of it so that's amazing and then you get more of it oh my god I get more and it's just an upward cycle of increasing happiness you know with obvious ups and downs because we're human but yeah it's it's a journey towards up not towards conservation or or escaping pain so I hope this makes a lot of sense I hope you understand now why it's better to set big goals than just have regular goals again there's really no drawback to setting big goals the people who actually were burned or had like a bad experience with setting big goals are always the people that had the pain type of goals that I'm talking about you know like oh if this works I'll be happy and then they failed and they were miserable but you know when you have something that makes you happy like oh I love doing music okay so aim big at it but why aim for 10 people uh hearing you why not aim for a hundred thousand uh because again you aim for a hundred thousand well you you're gonna start thinking bigger naturally and taking more action simply for the fact that it makes you more happy and more excited to think about it not because like oh my god it's even bigger I have to reach it oh no it's I have to take more no no no no no no no it's because oh my god this is so amazing this is so cool this is bigger if this is possible that's so awesome I need to check it out I want to do it it's amazing that's the kind of place that you want to be getting from not the hurt type of place again I hope this makes sense um and thanks for watching feel free to ask me any questions and tell me what you think


Welcome back to my channel. It's your girl Coco styles and in today's video. I'm just gonna make a quick quick quick Smoothie for you guys. This is what I call my power Smoothie this smoothie has fruits watercress and sea moss my favorite so what you're gonna see is me now just Trying to get everything in order bringing out the cup and stuff so I can Put all my fruit and this is actually the Nutribullet Cup if you guys are wondering This is the largest cup. I usually drink this throughout the day.  So I do have a smoothie and a meal But I don't I never get full to the point where I'm stuffed So I'm just cutting up my strawberries and stuff now So the reason why I actually stopped cutting off the ends of the strawberries was I read an article about Strawberries keeping their sweetness if you kept going the head of the strawberries So I started trying that the last couple of weeks and I actually like it So then everything is cleaned and what I do is I just pack up everything away in a mason jar in their own individual mason jar so my my strawberries my Blueberries my cantaloupe any fruit that I can possibly put into a mason jar. I do With the exception of my bananas, I just leave those out On the side and those are actually baby bananas on the side So you guys can see that once I continue with this and I'm just going ahead and I'm just gonna just Continue to pull everything out and those are my blueberries. I I never was a big fan of blueberries, but I Will put them in my smoothie because I know it packs so much nutrients So I'm just putting those in and though again, those are also clean too. Like I said, I wash everything prior to me Putting anything into the mason jars. It just eliminates a step for me throughout the week So I just wash it on Sundays with all my veggies and stuff and I just kind of pack them away Those are the baby bananas.  However, these are the original bananas So they say well, I think they say burrow bananas, but and then you get the smallest baby bananas They're considered like the original banana not hybrid or anything So these are I started buying these a couple of years ago and you guys can see how small it is Look how big my hands look compared to that banana But hey, I just kind of I put everything in there. So all going down one one way So now I'm taking my watercress watercress has so many nutrients I'm not sure if you guys know, but I could actually key a link everything below or even put everything in the description box for you guys, but watercress is packed with Particularly particularly Vitamin K Vitamin K is in here. It's high in its high anti-accident content Which may lower your risk of like chronic disease and stuff also It also contains compounds that may prevent certain types of cancers. I for one like anything that is cancer preventative because They say cancer runs in my family. So whatever I can do for myself, you know, I will that's some ginger right there I used to hate ginger, but I started to pick up Ginger probably like a couple of months ago and I added it to one of my smoothies and it was so amazing. So now that's my new thing So also watercress also has a lot of heart health benefits. So that's something that you want to kind of pick up It does have like a spicy kind of flavor So if you notice I didn't put too much in there and that's because it just it kind of tingles So between that and the ginger it's a bit much. However, it is good. So That's the ginger and I'm just kind of taking off the skin off the ginger some people blend the skin I don't do it. I just can't do it So I just kind of take off a nice little chunk and put it into my smoothie And you see me doing that there and now don't mind the mess guys. I'm trying to clean it out the way Eventually, I try to move it out the way and that is my CMOS my Irish Mars Oh my god, CMOS has so many minerals in it If you don't know about CMOS, please look it up. That is something that you should keep in your rotation Sometimes you can get like purple Mars. There's a guy on Instagram that actually sells purple Mars But he sells out so fast, but you know, you can get purple Mars You can get regular Irish Mars and just kind of just put it into your diet I know a lot of Western Indians. They do drink Irish Mars. So that's something that I'm used to And I think you guys should kind of like pick it up pick it up putting your diet or putting your smoothie You could actually put it in your food. You can put it in your food. You can put it in anything So I believe it has 92 minerals out of 102 that our bodies currently have so to me. That's a power Ingredient so I'm just adding in some spring water I only use spring water and I actually get my spring water from a local spring water company Which I think is an amazing idea if you can find a local spring water company in your neighborhood or in your City or whatever and they deliver to you try getting that the water that I get They actually deliver it in like a little bow and tie. It's really nice And it actually comes in a glass bottle and this water is amazing I remember when I ended up going to Vegas for my birthday and I already have started to drink this water, but when I got to Vegas, I'm like, okay Well, let me drink some CG water because I used to drink it, but it didn't taste good But I believe it's because I already started drinking this fresh spring water. So I don't know think think about it think look into a local spring water company in your neighborhood and See if they deliver to you and I'm telling you you will taste the difference in your water So anyway, so I'm just here blending it up and oh look how good that looks.   I'm renting a couple of usually when I watch dishes. They're cleaning stuff But we leave them in a cabinet. I always feel like there's some sort of dust on it So I always just do a quick rinse and here you go my quick simple smoothie and it's done I hope you guys enjoy it. Please subscribe and I see you guys in the next one. Bye
