Kenyan Gospel Artists Called Out by Eric Omondi

                                                                     

The gospel music industry has failed us.

They have more scandals than the secular

industry.In every generation there is

always a voice that God sends to help us

understand the truth and debunk. The lies

that bind us, we know that to Open the

Eyes of the people you don't bring out

the sweet thing but hard proof to both

benefiting from the status War.


 we are the truth mongers,  who said God does not

use Thorns to cry out his word. Whenever

the church sleeps,  you need to get back

to God you can't get into Sodom and come

over.

Eric omondi an Entertainer in a

stunning video doing rounds on social

media,  has spoken what 99 of modern day

preachers cannot, the amount of sex that

gospel musicians are having,  and  um the

amount of sex and fornication that they

take when they beat and.


 Willy Paul having a friend of mine,  who I know his place

and I know what he does from Thursday to

Sunday.He changes women like clothes.

We don't see him anywhere. You see many

artists,  have made Jesus the product and

the gospel amines to an end. They sell

their products to you,  get their Returns

on investments then goes on to become

brand influencers. 


Others become

political aspirants while majority

switch to secular music,  when they

discover they cannot keep their scandals

secret anymore, and more others abandon

the faith.

we saw Archbishop gitonga anoint bahati

to give him an edge over his political

competitors,  this is in spite of bahati's

double life being out in the public

domain.


On the other side his wife had released

a song that glorifies sponsors,  among

other songs.

[Music]

The most immoral people in Kenya are

former gospel artist, by the way we think

bahati should just go back and collect

the money he gave the Archbishop for

lying to him,  by pouring that anointing

oil the bishop normally says is from

Jerusalem.


we have lost our tasks with

God and the church has left down Kenya.

Instead of leading this artist to Christ, 

they lead them to the world.Are these

preachers to blame for the rod and the

falling away of many in church,  and the

rise of homosexuality in Kenya is

because of you. In fact some of you are

part of it and don't bear me I can

mention 10 of you who are homosexuals.


Well Apostle Kim explains to us who a

gospel artist is,  see you in the next one

let me not give you the two kinds of

gospel artists I see today.

Number one I see consecrated gospel

artists

and desecrated gospel artists.We can

call them perverted.

They are consecrated gospel artists who

are within

the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ , and

they are perfected gospel artists

who swear the hearts of men to bow down

to the image of God.


Remember in the Book of Daniel chapter 3, 

what the Nebuchadnezzar say, he said when

you hear instrument of music, 

when you hear the siphoning,  you hear the

keyboards that word here they have. When

you hear this beautiful Renditions

skillful instrumentalists, 

bow to the image that has not stopped.

it's still happening today, 

you bow

to the image that produced the music, 

the image that produced the music is what you bow to.


If it is the image of Christ that is

producing the image,  the music you bow to

Christ.

if it's another image, you bow to that

image. That cannot tell you why iniquity

is raining, 

because people are buying to the image

that is not of Christ must bow to the

image of the Antichrist. Watch,  this a

secular artist their song make you bow

to the another image not the image of

Jesus, 

now the perverted gospel artist his son

make you bow to the Antichrist, 

but a consecrated gospel artist their

song make you bow to Christ.


Are you understanding me? they are not

celebrities.

They are consecrated ones.

do you know what I'm talking about? they

are not what

they are consecrated ones.

But in the world system the artists are

celebrities, 

and the perverted gospel artists are

celebrities, 

because what is highly assaulted among

men is an abomination.


It is before God sadly speaking,  we

preachers are not telling people the

truth. I told you before they'll be riot

in hell.

They'll be right people are going to

look for their Apostles to beat them up, 

for deceiving them are not telling them

the truth.

Fo collecting their type and their

offerings,  I said some of these guys

don't know the truth you can only live

according to the truth you know.

That is what the Bible says.


Now what then is the Bible portrait of a

consecrated gospel artist? number one

a consecuted gospel at this,  is one who

creates music that tells us about the

penalty of sin.

I've got to learn very fast because

there are a lot of things to write and

the time is short. One who creates music

that tells us about what the penalty of

sin , that means his music or her music

his appearance or her appearance

activates the convictions of the spirit

and an adulterer cannot sit under him

and be dancing.


Are you answering me and be doing all

the downstairs,  no when you sit under him

under her

you should become sober, 

because it is telling you there's

penalty in sin there's penalty in

fornication there's penalty in adultery

there's penalty in lying.


 Are you understanding what I'm talking about? so

so that's a consecrated gospel artist is

he .He is bad by the Holy Ghost built to

the Perfection of the Saints to activate

the convictions of the spirit. That is

why when they sing people surrender to

Jesus.

so India what to call Concept there's no

gate fee.

[Applause]

you know why because Jesus said, come

unto me only that level and a heavy

letter and I will give you rest.


 There was no good to see when you make that

Proclamation,  he didn't tell you that I

know you are the one carrying the money.

Oh yeah as they come collect it, 

so that tells me a consecrated gospel

artist does not organize concept with

gate fees.

we have to tell the church the truth my

friend.


Look at the nurse portrait of a concentrated gospel artist one, 

number two one who creates music that

tells us about the good news of how

Christ died and freed us from the

penalty of sin.

It tells you about the pregnancy and

answers to how Christ died

and free you from the penalty of things.

They are here in another world,  he saw

her music appearance lifestyle and

everything will unveil Christ to you as

a Redemption sacrifice.


Their music,  their Lifestyles the lyrics

of their music,  their Beats , The Sounds

the keyboard and everything

will not make you feeling sexy, 

no.

It should not make you to dance Connolly, 

it's unfairs.

whenever we are singing this song, 

Israeli song that says:

the cross of Jesus,  how do you feel

when you're thinking about the cross of

Jesus,  how do you feel?.


Songs like "Oh The Blood of Jesus how do

you feel you see the presence".

That is God telling you I approved

the one, you sing you don't see the

president God is saying I disapprove.

It's something you know what I'm saying, 

here listen carefully we must understand

these things. Look at what Jesus said,  no

one can come to the father and so the

father draws him so that now tells me

that when that artist

Gospel of Jesus Christ the gospel artist

of Jesus Christ,  the consecrated one when

he sit

and he's creeping his music when he now

come out to sing it the arm of the Lord

descends.


Because no one can come to the father

except the father draw him. They will

stand,  they will play their keyboard,  they

could be doing the redeem between

anything,  but the hand of the Lord will

just come down and start pulling people

out of a life of sin and wickedness.

so that tells you a consecuted gospel

artist brings the hand of God down.


Even Elisha needed one, 

get me the mistress let them and the

Bible say when the mystery see the hand

of the Lord came upon him.

David

in the Palace of Saul,  I wish I have time

to talk about that one even before the

cross, 

no matter how the money the demon is

give me,  some the hand of the Lord to the

Saints and so I began to behave.

Our own artists when they sing people

don't behave they misbehave, 

they get my point.a drunk sit under

their Ministry and remain a drunk.


A foreign those are not consecrated gospel artists, 

they are perverted gospel artists.

Perverted because the one that is

consecrated will bring the arm of the

Lord down,  that will draw hearts to the

Lord.

So may bring the hand of the Lord down.

I'm not hearing you why are you so

sorrowful, 

you know the church don't like this kind

of gospel if I say you buy a car they

say Jesus.


[Music]

What will you do when you get to heaven

and Jesus say, ah you've missed it though.

what will you do?  May that not happen to

us.

The Bible say broad is the way that

leads to what, 

so that means he creates or he or she

create his music,  not not my word I say

one more great tell me great tell me

they don't steal.

They don't steal their music they create

it.

They don't stand and look at the

beatings of the world maybe. This a

secular music that is celebrated in the

whole world they now bring it and change

the lyrics, 

and maintain the beat because they are

looking for visibility.


They are looking for likes on Facebook, 

looking for views on YouTube,  that's what

they're looking. For is not to fulfill

the Mandate of the Great Commission,  a

gospel artist of Jesus Christ is part of

the instruments of righteousness

on the face of the, 

in another world a consecuted gospel

artist will sing you out of the Broadway

and bring you into the narrow way.


That leads to life is somebody hearing

me ?do you know that we need such people

now with this understanding. do we really

have gospel artists?

The Insane Security of Mark Zuckerberg

 

                                                                                             



It's not news that fortune 500 companies

are overseen by powerful men and women, 

who earn millions of dollars annually

while managing their respective

multi-billion dollar firms.


wealthy and powerful people will always

have enemies. there are people who will

always find a reason to hate them, 

it could be due to their being envious

of the huge amounts of money these ceos

earn.


Maybe they want a slice of that pie.

it could also be because they are not in

support of the way their capital was

generated.

whatever the reason fame always seems to

be followed by a level of resentment, 

therefore it's not surprising at all

when you see the amount of money

companies spend on security.


After all the greatest asset of any good

company is its people, and there is no

one more important than a ceo.

however even among silicon valley ceos

mark zuckerberg's insane security, 

allowance stands out.


welcome to the rich attic.

Today we will be looking at the insane

lengths,  facebook goes to to protect its

founder and ceo.

personal security is not a new thing or

even a big deal

to mention,  an obvious example the

president of the united states is

guarded by the secret service 24/7.


To the white house and the nation at

large,  the high monetary cost of keeping

the leader of the free world safe is

more than worth it, especially since any

harm that comes to the president will be

reflected upon everyone else in the

population.


This is the mentality of top companies

who generate billions of dollars every

year.it is important for them to protect the

excellent people who lead them to

success and no matter how expensive it

is,  it's a small price to pay for the

sense of security.


In 2016 according to an sec filing ceo

of twitter,  jack dorsey had security

bills reaching 65

dollars.

today the number is most likely at least

double that amount.

uber according to their financial

statements released in march 2020,  spent

about six hundred thousand on dara khas

rashahi.


Based on apple's 2020 statement their

ceo tim cook,  gets a security allowance

of 500 000.

at google,  their ceo sundar pachai spent

a huge sum of 1.2 million dollars for

his security detail in 2018.

this was a sharp rise from previous

years,  most probably as a result of the

attacks on the youtube campus.


Amazon ceo and founder jeff bezos,  spends

1.6 million dollars on his security

detail.

he has been spending this much since

2012.

however as insanely wealthy as he is,  he

pays for extra security costs out of his

own pocket.

it's true that the ceos of top-notch

tech firms,  we've just looked at spend

more on personal security than the vast

number of people earn in a whole

lifetime.


However when it comes to spending insane

amounts of money on security, mark

zuckerberg is the undisputed champion.

Even though according to facebook's

financial filings for 2019,  it was

reported that the ceo collected no

salary.The tech company still spent 23.4

million dollars for his personal

security.

On the surface,  it seems extreme that

facebook would be willing to spend so

much more on the safety of its ceo,  in

comparison to other tech companies.

However if you look closely and observe

zuckerberg's role within facebook and

facebook's role in our modern world,  it

becomes clear why mark zuckerberg's

personal security costs are far greater

than the ones for other silicon valley

ceos.


We all have a lot of companies and

brands whose products and services we

use and love.

However it is rare that we care about

the people running the company to the

same extent, 

as a matter of fact nine times out of

ten we have no idea who that person is.

Mark zuckerberg is an anomaly within

that space, 

the ceo of facebook is just as infamous

and notorious as facebook itself.

Whether he is in the headlines on the

news due to a facebook announcement, or

scandal or whether he is trending on

social media because of a new meme, 

zuckerberg is about as far from

anonymous as a ceo can get.


Facebook is mark zuckerberg and mark

zuckerberg is facebook. in the eyes of

the public these two are one in the same.

zuckerberg's synonymity with facebook is

probably a huge reason for his insane

security costs.


Even though ceos are ultimately

responsible for their companies,  a lot of

the time the general public draws a

mental clear line between the person in

charge and the company they are in

charge of, 

Facebook is a different situation in the

public eye. Zuckerberg is forever tightly

connected to facebook.


For this reason, virtually every public

move or mishap by facebook is viewed as

a reflection of the ceo himself.

so facebook's successes and more

importantly facebook's failures all

result in hatred being directed directly

to their ceo himself.

For example earlier this summer when

facebook took a stance on regulating and

filtering fake news, the public did not

only see it as facebook taking a stance, 

they saw it as zuckerberg himself

releasing a personal statement.


Since attention and fame generally leads

to a higher chance of danger,  the

consequences that zuckerberg needs more

security to stay safe.

Some companies have famous founders, 

some companies have famous ceos, 

some companies have both.

However very few uber successful

companies are still spearheaded by their

founders to this day.


Google is currently run by sundar pachai, 

but was founded by larry page and sergey

brin.

Bill gates created microsoft,  but today

satya nadella is in charge of the

company.

Steve jobs founded apple,  but even before

he passed away he was no longer in the

position of ceo.

That post is now held by tim cook.

Facebook was created by mark zuckerberg, 

eduardo saverin andrew mccollum dustin

moskovitz and chris hughes.


You can have your theories and opinions

about how zuckerberg has dealt with the

ownership of the company,  but the

indisputable fact is this, 

to this day even after all this time, 

mark zuckerberg is still both the

co-founder and ceo of facebook.


This double distinction makes mark

zuckerberg the face of facebook in

almost every aspect.

Mark zuckerberg is without a doubt in

value to facebook's brand,  and this

explains why they are willing to invest

so much money into his safety.

Five simple strategies to sharpen your critical thinking | BBC Ideas

 

                                              


We’re lucky to live in an age where the sum total of human knowledge

is pretty much available at the click of a button.

We’ve never had access to so much information.

But not all of what’s out there is quite what it seems.

So here’s a few strategies to navigate your way through.

And avoid falling out with people along the way.


We all enjoy that sweet dopamine hit of feeling like we’re right.

In repeated experiments, psychologists have shown

we’re much more likely to accept something as evidence

if it confirms what we already think we know.

And much more likely to discount information

if it contradicts our views.


It’s what’s known as “confirmation bias”.

It’s one of the key “cognitive biases” that humans have,

and it operates at an unconscious level -

affecting our ability to process information.

This is especially true for issues which are emotionally charged,

or where our views are deeply held.

But it can come into play at any time.


So don’t rush to decide,

and be actively prepared to change your mind.

So many of our discussions take place on social media platforms

where algorithms reward our desire to see and hear our views confirmed.

But in life, most situations are nuanced and complicated –

acknowledging that can enrich the way that we view the world.

For example, what colour is the sky? Well, the obvious answer is blue.

But at sunrise or sunset, it can be red.


On a cold misty morning, white or grey.

At night, midnight blue or black.

But imagine for a moment the blue of the sky on a sunny day.

Is it really blue?

The colour blue has a short wavelength,

meaning it scatters more than other colours -

making it more visible to the human eye.

So the sky looks blue to us humans,

even though there’s a whole spectrum of colours out there.

Even something that seems totally self-evident

can be more nuanced than you think.


One approach to, well, arguing,

is to let go of the idea of being “right”.

Or at least seriously consider that you might actually be wrong.

Putting yourself in the other person’s shoes

can lead to much more productive outcomes.

Really try to understand where the other person is coming from.

It’s what’s called “intellectual empathy”.

It can be challenging, but that’s the point.


This can only work when both parties are engaging in good faith.

Arguing just to waste somebody’s time,

known online as “sea lioning”,

not only makes you that guy or girl people avoid at parties,

but we are intellectually, socially and politically worse off for it.

It’s more important than ever

to know where your information is coming from.


That sciency-looking graph about the dangers of feral Dalmatian puppies

might look very convincing, until you dig a little deeper

and find it was commissioned by fur-coat-coveting

Disney villain, Cruella de Vil.

Be on the lookout for ulterior motives and vested interests.

Becoming literate in the basics of scientific methodology,

the use of data and the way it’s presented

are all weapons in your arsenal when it comes to critical thinking.


Whether engaging in online debates or arguing with Uncle Frank,

it’s very easy to lose our cool and resort to some

less-than-sound tactics.

One common tactic is what philosophers call,

“The Straw Man” fallacy.

Instead of engaging with the actual belief,

you engage with a caricature.

For example, if I said, “I prefer hamsters to gerbils,”

you might respond, “Oh, so you want to drown all gerbils?”

A viewpoint that’s much easier to take down.


Another fallacy is the “ad hominem fallacy”,

where you discount an argument

because of your opinion of the person making it.

This can lead to ad hominem attacks,

which is basically Latin for name-calling.

In that situation, it’s fair to say that everybody loses.

Engaging in critical thinking isn’t as fun as picking up a pitchfork,

or feeling like you’re fundamentally right.


But in the long run, it leads to a more curious,

educated and harmonious society,

which ultimately is the biggest win of all.

This tool will help improve your critical thinking - Erick Wilberding

                                                               



Socrates, one of the founding fathers of Western philosophical thought,

was on trial.

Many Athenians believed he was a dangerous enemy of the state,

accusing the philosopher of corrupting the youth

and refusing to recognize their gods.

However, Socrates wasn’t feared for claiming to have all the answers,

but rather, for asking too many questions.


While he loathed formal lectures,

the philosopher frequently engaged friends and strangers

in lengthy conversations about morality and society.

These discussions weren’t debates, nor would Socrates offer explicit advice.

In fact, the philosopher often claimed to know nothing at all,

responding to his partner's answers only with further questions.


But through this process, Socrates probed their logic,

revealing its flaws and helping both parties reach a more robust understanding.

These insightful questions made Socrates beloved by his followers.

Two of his students, Plato and Xenophon, were so inspired

that they replicated their mentor’s process in fictional dialogues.


These invented exchanges provide perfect examples

of what would come to be known as the Socratic Method.

In one of these fabricated dialogues,

Socrates is conversing with a young man named Euthydemus,

who is confident that he understands the nature of justice and injustice.

Socrates probes the student’s values by asking him to label actions

such as lying and theft as just or unjust.


Euthydemus confidently categorizes them as injustices,

but this only prompts another question:

is it just for a general to deceive or pillage a hostile army?

Euthydemus revises his assertion.

He claims that these actions are just when done to enemies,

and unjust when done to friends.

But Socrates isn’t finished.

He asks the young man to consider a commander lying to his troops

to boost their morale.


Before long, Euthydemus is despondent.

It seems that every answer leads to further problems,

and perhaps he’s not quite sure what constitutes justice after all.

In employing this question-oriented approach,

Socrates described himself as a midwife,

whose inquiries assist others in giving birth to their ideas.


His method of questioning draws out an individual’s unexamined assumptions,

and then challenges those biases.

It doesn't always provide definitive answers,

but the method helps clarify the questions

and eliminate contradictory or circular logic.

And by following a line of inquiry where it logically leads,

both the question asker and answerer can end up in unexpected places.


This technique isn’t limited by the conversation’s content,

making it incredibly useful in numerous fields.

During the Renaissance, the method was used to teach clinical medicine.

Students proposed their rationale for different diagnoses,

while a doctor questioned their assumptions and moderated discussion.


In this model, the method could even produce conclusive results.

This same approach was later used in other sciences,

such as astronomy, botany, and mathematics.

Following the Protestant Reformation,

it was adapted to tackle abstract questions of faith.

In the 19th century, the method became an essential part

of American legal education.


Professors explored students’ understanding of judicial reasoning

by challenging them with unforeseen hypothetical situations.

This approach is still used today by the Supreme Court

to imagine the unintended impacts of passing a law.


The Socratic Method can be adapted to teach almost any topic

that relies on critical reasoning,

but its success depends on the teacher employing it.

An effective Socratic educator must be well versed in their subject.

Rather than bullying their students or showing off their superior intellect,

they should be modest, genuinely curious, and affirming of every contribution.


In this regard, Socrates himself

may not have been the most subtle Socratic teacher.

Historians believe he was deeply critical of Athens’ particular brand of democracy,

and known to pass those concerns onto his followers.

These subversive beliefs were distorted in public forums

and thought to have inspired two of his pupils to treasonous ends.


It was likely for these ideas Socrates was brought to trial,

and eventually, sentenced to death.

But even on his deathbed, artists depict a serene philosopher—

ever curious to explore the ultimate question.

How does the stock market work? - Oliver Elfenbaum

 

                                                                                                                             


In the 1600s the Dutch East India Company employed hundreds of ships

to trade gold, porcelain, spices, and silks around the globe.

But running this massive operation wasn’t cheap.

In order to fund their expensive voyages,

the company turned to private citizens–

individuals who could invest money to support the trip

in exchange for a share of the ship’s profits.


This practice allowed the company to afford even grander voyages,

increasing profits for both themselves and their savvy investors.

Selling these shares in coffee houses and shipping ports across the continent,

the Dutch East India Company unknowingly invented the world’s first stock market.

Since then, companies have been collecting funds from willing investors

to support all kinds of businesses.


And today,the stock market has schools, careers, and even whole television channels

dedicated to understanding it.

But the modern stock market is significantly more complicated

than its original incarnation.

So how do companies and investors use the market today?

Let’s imagine a new coffee company that decides to launch on the market.


First, the company will advertise itself to big investors.

If they think the company is a good idea,

they get the first crack at investing,

and then sponsor the company’s initial public offering, or IPO.

This launches the company onto the official public market,

where any company or individual who believes the business could be profitable

might buy a stock.


Buying stocks makes those investors partial owners in the business.

Their investment helps the company to grow,

and as it becomes more successful,

more buyers may see potential and start buying stocks.

As demand for those stocks increases,

so does their price, increasing the cost for prospective buyers,

and raising the value of the company's stocks people already own.


For the company,this increased interest helps fund new initiatives,

and also boosts its overall market value

by showing how many people are willing to invest in their idea.

However, if for some reason a company starts to seem less profitable

the reverse can also happen.


If investors think their stock value is going to decline,

they’ll sell their stocks with the hopes of making a profit

before the company loses more value.

As stocks are sold and demand for the stock goes down,

the stock price falls,

and with it, the company’s market value.


This can leave investors with big losses–

unless the company starts to look profitable again.

This see-saw of supply and demand is influenced by many factors.

Companies are under the unavoidable influence of market forces–

such as the fluctuating price of materials,

changes in production technology,

and the shifting costs of labor.


Investors may be worried about changes in leadership,

bad publicity, or larger factors like new laws and trade policies.

And of course,

plenty of investors are simply ready to sell valuable stocks

and pursue personal interests.

All these variables cause day-to-day noise in the market,

which can make companies appear more or less successful.

And in the stock market,

appearing to lose value often leads to losing investors,

and in turn, losing actual value.


Human confidence in the market has the power to trigger

everything from economic booms to financial crises.

And this difficult-to-track variable

is why most professionals promote reliable long term investing

over trying to make quick cash.

However, experts are constantly building tools

in efforts to increase their chances of success

in this highly unpredictable system.


But the stock market is not just for the rich and powerful.

With the dawn of the Internet,

everyday investors can buy stocks

in many of the exact same ways a large investor would.

And as more people educate themselves about this complex system

they too can trade stocks,

support the businesses they believe in,

and pursue their financial goals.


The first step is getting invested.

This is Why Self-Discipline is Easy (Animated Story)

                                                                                     



- [Narrator] The secret is actually very simple.

If you want to develop that intense,

insane level of discipline,

the only thing you need to do is to.

(pen scratching)

In this video, I'm going to share with you

the number one secret that you need to know

in order to become disciplined.


And I'm going to do it by sharing with you a personal story.

Back when I was in university,

I was the person who would always do just enough to get by.

I did just enough work to get the grade I wanted.

I would hand in my assignments just on time.

And I never went above and beyond the call of duty.

I was what you would call a minimalist and a procrastinator.

However, if there was a deadline,

like having an exam in three days,

I would become extremely disciplined

and I would study nonstop

and I would ignore all distractions.


I basically became the Superman of studying,

but only for a short time.

During these moments of inspiration,

I saw that I had the ability to become very disciplined,

more disciplined than the average person

was even capable of becoming.

Being disciplined was something

that I could apparently turn on and off,

but I could not do it intentionally

and I could never figure out a way to duplicate it.

That is, until I spent a semester

studying in Lisbon, Portugal.


If you watch my life changing video, you know

that I had spent a semester studying in Lisbon, Portugal.

After I had spent that semester studying abroad,

my life was dramatically altered from that point on.

After I had returned back to Canada,

the only thing that I could think about

was the next time I could go traveling again.


The idea of going traveling again

lit such a fire inside of me

that I became obsessed with it.

But, there was one thing that I hated about traveling

and that was how much money you had to spend

in order to get all of those amazing experiences

and go to all of those amazing places.


And the biggest downside of going to Portugal

was watching my bank account go down to almost nothing.

So, how does one travel while making money?

There is only one way to do it

and I had to figure out a way to make money online.

After I had graduated university,

I googled how to make money online.


That Google search was the beginning of a journey

that would forever change my life.

I literally spent 12 hours every single day

in front of my computer reading blogs,

books, watching videos, sending out emails,

trying to learn as much as I possibly could

from anything and anyone.


I spent six months doing this.

I worked 12 to 14 hours every single day

taking breaks to only go to the gym and to eat.

I didn't have a girlfriend.

I didn't have a social life.

And in my friends' eyes, I'd basically vanished

from the face of the earth.

My hard work paid off and after those six months,

I had achieved my goal and I was making

a full-time income online.


During those six months, my friends and family

would often say to me, I have never seen you work this hard.

How are you capable of doing this?

And my mom would say, "Where was this work ethic

"and discipline when you were in university?"

And this was a fair question.


How did I go from not being able to study for 30 minutes

to being able to work nonstop for 12 hours a day?

It's because I had found something called my north star.

I had finally found something

that I was working towards each and every single day

and it was something that I actually wanted.


The reason why I could not really achieve this

when it came to my academics

was because I had never really cared about

getting some letter that was supposed to tell me

and the rest of the world how smart I was.

But, what I did care about was meeting amazing people

from all over the world, learning about different cultures,

going to places that you only read about

in magazines and post cards,

and I was doing all this while saving money.


That is what I cared about.

Whenever I told someone that I make my money online,

a very common response would be, I can never do that.

I don't have that kind of discipline.

And that was always so funny for me to hear

because, as you could probably guess,

I never really considered myself a very disciplined person

and I always thought to myself,

well, if you wanted this lifestyle as much as I did,

of course you would develop the discipline

to get things done.


You just don't want the lifestyle as much as I do.

And I'm not saying this an arrogant way

or trying to be cocky or anything like that,

I'm just saying it in a factual way.

Someone could have the goal to become a doctor.

I personally would not be able to develop

the kind of discipline it takes

in order to achieve that goal because I don't want it.


That does not make me an undisciplined person.

It just makes me someone

who wants something different from him.

I think something that people need to realize

is once you find something that you really want in life

or you discover the type of business you want to create

or the type of body you want to have,

you won't have a huge problem of staying dedicated

or disciplined because you will want to do it.


And even when you don't feel like doing the productive thing

or you will start to lose motivation or interest,

which is inevitable to happen at some point,

you will still do it because you will remember

how much you want to achieve this goal.

So, the secret is actually very simple.


If you want to develop that intense,

insane level of discipline, the only thing you need to do

is to find your north star,

not your parents' north star they they settle for you,

no the north star that you think society

would like the most, but your north star.

The only person who knows what your north star is, is you.

At the end of your life, you will not regret

pursuing that thing that you always wanted to do

or that little thing that you at least wanted to try.


Follow it no matter how crazy or weird it may seem

to other people, you don't wanna die with regret.

and, of course, leave me a comment

because I respond to basically every single comment

and I love to engage with you guys.

As always, thank you so much for watching

and I'll see you in the next one.
