Have you watched video after video...trying to find an answer for your issues in regards to procrastination, taking action, and how to stay motivated in life? If so, then you've come to the right place. You see, I was able to study for about 4 hours, every single day, for the past year and a half... effortlessly. And it's all because of something called Wu Wei.
If you can cultivate what I like to call the Wu Wei Wind, you'll essentially learn how to find motivation without even having to try. You'll gain the ability to get motivated by simply going about your day.

    True, you can't fake enthusiasm for something of no interest. I chose wrong undergraduate course interactive media when years later I realised that I wanted to do Fine art. All because parents wanted me to course to get job out of it. I still don't know how to progress in career life. Soulless boring jobs like catering and retail not for me. I 've completed Admin apprenticeship in Admin and discovered my creativd skills work well in problems solving. Coding is still option not sure if I want to pursuit as scripting language can be hard to understand.

However recently, I got back on my tracks and finally decided to click your video that I was avoiding since I felt like a failure after not changing much in life after watching your videos. Anyways back to the point, I wanted to say that your content is amazing keep posting, because I myself recently discover that i like drawing and I can see you put a lot créatif work on these videos. These kind videos is really appealing to me and this more philosophical analogical approach to wise up your viewers is definitely my style. You are such a role model to me. Bless you

    No wonder study groups never worked for me in school: every time I was forced to go to study groups (correct, I never wanted to do study groups but was always forced to do so by projects, programs, etc.), I ended up losing lots time and being unproductive. It was really annoying. I remember once I was part of a program where weekly study group sessions were required, and I literally got C's and D's for that semester. For the next semester I kept making up excuses not to go to the study groups, and my grades improved significantly for that semester (I had more time to myself to study). It's really useful to know ourselves early on.

    Methods like the Wu-Wei are incredible for pointing us to what we naturally value and will find fulfilling since one of the most confusing aspects of life is figuring out what to do with it. I have been building up a reservoir of these methods to discover which ones work best for people of different walks of life. For example, School of Life wrote a book called a Job to Love that uses 12 distinct "Pleasure Points of Work". Another example stems from psychological research looking at "Self-Concordant Goals" that align with our implicit interests. Although, implementing these methods is easier said than done as I discovered during my own journey. My personal experience discovering what I value motivated me to host workshops to help people understand these concepts and I have learned how people feel about many different methods. However, there is always more to learn so I sent you an email to set up a call and talk about these ideas further. I believe we can help a lot of people. Let me know what you think.
