Joe Rogan's Speech Will Leave You SPEECHLESS _ One of The Most Eye Opening Motivational Videos Ever.

So for a few months, I was staying with my grandmother who was on death's door for, she lived like a year or so after I moved out. And she wasn't really aware of me anymore. She was not quite there anymore. And my grandfather who was struggling to take care of her and just seemed sad. And I remember thinking, man, this life is temporary. Like this experience that I'm experiencing right now as a 24 year old man, like this is not going to last. Like this is the prime of my youth. And I, it like hardened my ideas to like, you got to get going. This is going to happen to you too. It's going to happen to all of us. And you, you, you think that you're this static thing. Like you stay in the same exact state. It's not true. It's an illusion. All those people that you see that are old people that are walking down the street with their backs hunched over that you're going to reach that age someday. It's going to happen. And if you don't pay attention and it all goes wrong, you could wind up looking like that guy. You could wind up thinking and behaving like that guy. It is a slow ebbing of the life force of the body. That's going to, it's going to drain you. So God, man, get your fun out, get your life out. Just live. You got to live. It's coming and you got to remember, cause if you don't remember, you're going to sleep in. If you don't remember, you're not going to get anything done. If you don't remember, you're not going to, you're not going to have the same focus and determination that you Over time, I've learned that these people, you just, you're not going to fix them. I used to want to fix them when I was young. I used to want to go, Hey man, I see what you're doing. Like, dude, don't do that anymore. Listen, just try, just, just do this and stop doing that and start doing this. And if you just work towards this, you could be successful. And then a week later, the guy's doing the same. You're like, okay, I'm wasting a significant amount of my energy on someone who doesn't want to waste any of their energy on themselves. And so managing the community and the tribe that you're in, making sure that you're a good member of that tribe, that you're doing your part. When you're around happy, inspirational people that are successful, it makes you feel better and you get inspired. And if you act on that inspiration, your life will be more fulfilled. And it's not just inspirational in terms of financial success, but in terms of doing difficult things, whether it's running a hundred miles, it doesn't pay you a thing other than the, the, the, the wealth of the knowledge that you can push yourself to such an extreme or anything else, whether it's someone who becomes really good at playing chess or someone who's really good at martial arts or, or whatever it is, there's, there's a great feeling in these overcoming these difficult things. I think a lot of what happiness is, is a management issue and decisions that you're making right now, like you could be in a state of mind right now, but you can make some decisions to adjust that. And over the next couple hours, you'll get to a much better place. It's good to treat other people the way you would like to be treated yourself. It's like a golden rule. And there's a reason for it. And that reason is that we're connected in some strange way that we don't totally understand. And unless you are good to other people around you, unless you're a kind and friendly and warm and loving, you're not going to enjoy this life. You're just not, you're going to be problems everywhere you go. You're going to have problems everywhere you go. You got to figure out a way to enjoy this life. This is not because of anybody that may or may not have ever existed. It's because that's how you fit in better in the world. That's how you stay positive. And it doesn't have to be some ---- that was written 5,000 years ago on animal skins. That doesn't have to be the golden rule because it's old. That's dumb. We need to figure out like now today, what is the best way to live your life? There's got to be ways you can be putting forward the most positive energy. I mean, we know objectively what's causing pollution. We know objectively what's causing birth defects and we're taking in too much chemicals and not enough vitamins. We know objectively all this stuff. We know how to organize our world and yet we don't do it. We know how to organize our health and yet very few people do it. We know all these things. The right path to like being like a happy, healthy person is to do all the ---- that we already know you're supposed to do. Take care of your body. Take care of your health. Take care of your mind, your stress. Meditate, be kind to people. We all know that. I mean, you ask anybody, they know how to get by and to be the most evolved version of you that you can be. I mean, it's not like a magical checklist. If you talk to people about it, you said, okay, here you got a person, you want to improve them. What are the things that you're going to do to them? Okay, well, if I was a life coach, the first thing I would say is this guy's got to get on a diet that makes him healthy. I don't mean a diet just to lose weight. I mean, just healthy foods in your body, many, many vegetables. Start working out your body and get a better sense of like how this machine feels when it's moving. It's flowing better. There's less tension in it. Your mind feels like relaxed and you enjoy every single moment of the day better. Step one, everybody knows that step, right? What's step two? Be cool to people. Be nice to as many people as you can. Smile at as many people as you can. Have them smile back at you. Tip well when you go to restaurants. Just do the most you can. Be as nice as you can and just still manage to not have people walk all over you. Just get through this life and as nice as you can. Do what you want to do with your life, right? Don't go be doing something you don't enjoy. Don't do something that's, don't get locked into a car that you can't afford and doing something crazy because you need the money. Don't do that. Do what you want to do. Do what the is it that you really want to do. Because if someone else is doing it, you can do it. I mean, everybody makes their own path through this world, but a lot of people don't follow the path that they really feel pulled to. For whatever reason, they got negative programming. When they were kids, someone told them they couldn't do it or told them to take the shortcut or take the sure route. That's a sad thing, man. When you talk to dudes, especially like talented dudes, and they don't follow up with what they want to do. You know, it sounds like really hippie, but true happiness comes from making other people happy. True happiness comes from being around happy people and enjoying each other's company. That's really hard for people to wrap their heads around because they always associate true happiness. No, true happiness is with titles or numbers or objects that you possess. You're not concerned about being nice to people. You're not concerned about having a positive impact on people. You're more concerned with making ones and zeros, but it really truly is how the human race interacts with each other. You really have to be nice to other people to be happy. You have to. If you're not, you won't be happy. We all make mistakes, and we all find ourselves in positions of frustration, and we've all acted out and yelled at our dog when maybe we shouldn't have. There's pressures in this life, but I think it's really important to recognize what those truly are and to understand that at the end of it, we can alleviate a lot of how we deal with in this life. If we really treated people the way we would treat them as if they were ourselves living another life, and this includes the way you communicate with people, the friendships that you have, and making sure your friends know that you love them. They drive you. They change your opinions. They challenge you. They show compassion. You open up to each other. I mean, this is everything in this life is community. One of the things that's true is how much people enjoy being around you. That makes your life more enjoyable, and people don't think of it that way. They oftentimes think, I want to be the one that's enjoying life, like especially selfish people. If people enjoy being around you, you'll enjoy everything more. The solo effort of going through life, a narcissistic perspective, one of the major problems with that is there's no one to share it with because you're all out for yourself. Even if you get there, you're going to be filled with sadness and despair. It's not what you want. What you want is to be happy, right? Well, I know you think that you have to be all about yourself to be happy, but in fact, that is a way to ensure unhappiness regardless of success. What I'm saying is the way you are with your family and your friends and your loved ones and the people you communicate with, get better at that because we need each other. Love is the important thing. That sounds so cliche, but without love, it's all useless.
