0:00.0	Welcome to part two of my conversation with Robert Green. In this episode, we talk about mastering
0:05.1	self-awareness, navigating societal norms, and the importance of resilience. Let's get into it.
0:12.9	A lot of people are feeling hopeless right now, and they are gravitating towards alcohol, porn,
0:20.5	Netflix, etc.
0:22.6	But nobody is coming to save them.
0:24.5	If they want to get out of that hole,
0:26.0	they are going to have to do it themselves.
0:27.9	So what is it that people can do and quite honestly avoid doing
0:33.0	if they want to stop being aimless and make their dreams a reality?
0:38.2	Well, sometimes you have to get deep enough in that hole that you really, really want to get out.
0:45.0	So the key factor in life is motivation, is desire, is the energy that you bring to it.
0:51.5	So if you don't believe in yourself, if you only half-heartedly are reading my books
0:57.5	or listening to Tom or listening to me and you go, yeah, I kind of want to change. It won't matter.
1:02.0	It won't change anything. You'll just go back to your old habits, right? Because habits are very
1:06.7	powerful. You're a product of the cultural moment. It's very hard to resist it. It's very hard to swim
1:12.8	against the tide of the times that we live in. So if you don't have the motivation, if you don't
1:17.8	have the energy, if you don't have the idea that, damn it, I'm going down fast. If I don't turn
1:22.3	this around, you know, you're only alive once. It's, you know, YOLO and it goes past really fast I can tell you that is now as I get older
1:33.0	faster than you think so you've got to be desperate you've got to tell yourself I've got to get out of this I've got to change my life I've got to swim against the tide of the times that I lived in. I have to change my ways.
1:46.1	Because if not, when I'm 32, when I'm 35, all of my hopes, all of my horizons will narrow so much,
1:54.2	that it's going to look very, very bleak, right? So the younger you are, the better, and you have to
1:59.6	have that desire. You have to look at yourself square in the eye. And the number one thing to think of is you have much less time than you imagine. Right? It goes past really quickly. Your 20s will go past faster than you could imagine. Suddenly you're 30. You go, whoa, what am I going to do? Then you're 40, shit, it's too late.
