How to find motivation to engage in self-improvement

1
00:00:00,429 –> 00:00:03,999
Hi, I’m Tomek.
From Waiter To Millionaire. Welcome.

2
00:00:04,000 –> 00:00:06,160
Today we’re at the gym.

3
00:00:06,160 –> 00:00:09,570
We’ll talk about fitness,
exercise, motivation.

4
00:00:09,571 –> 00:00:13,743
Today, I have a special guest – Łukasz.

5
00:00:13,744 –> 00:00:17,260
– Where is he? Come here.
– I’m coming. Hi.

6
00:00:17,280 –> 00:00:20,500
Nice grip.

7
00:00:20,520 –> 00:00:24,559
We invite you to this video.
Today, you’ll learn

8
00:00:24,560 –> 00:00:29,020
how to change your life
on the example of fitness and exercise.

9
00:00:29,040 –> 00:00:31,043
Yes? Be welcome.

10
00:00:36,600 –> 00:00:39,914
Tell us, what you do
and who are you?

11
00:00:39,915 –> 00:00:43,999
I’m an ordinary man.
A man who do exercises,

12
00:00:44,000 –> 00:00:48,340
who is passionate about it,
who likes helping people

13
00:00:48,360 –> 00:00:53,319
and who changed his life.

14
00:00:53,320 –> 00:00:56,913
This channel is dedicated to
changing life

15
00:00:56,914 –> 00:00:59,620
on the basis of your passions.

16
00:00:59,640 –> 00:01:03,786
It can be either fitness or anything else.

17
00:01:03,787 –> 00:01:07,042
I have my passion, you have another.

18
00:01:07,043 –> 00:01:11,570
What motivated you
to go in this direction?

19
00:01:11,600 –> 00:01:15,020
What motivated me?

20
00:01:15,040 –> 00:01:16,813
Willingness to change.

21
00:01:16,814 –> 00:01:23,260
First of all, there was a situation
when I was 18 years old.

22
00:01:23,280 –> 00:01:27,213
It was more than 5 years ago, so I was 18.

23
00:01:27,214 –> 00:01:33,199
I was meeting this girl
and you know how it goes with girls.

24
00:01:33,200 –> 00:01:37,620
I had my love story,
falling in love after 2 weeks.

25
00:01:37,640 –> 00:01:40,620
But she dumped me almost instantly.

26
00:01:40,640 –> 00:01:42,457
It hit me hard.

27
00:01:42,458 –> 00:01:46,210
I decided that I should change something.

28
00:01:46,240 –> 00:01:49,957
So, my buddy told me:
“Man, check out this site.

29
00:01:49,958 –> 00:01:56,319
It’s about personal growth.
Read it and maybe it’ll help you”.

30
00:01:56,320 –> 00:01:57,786
I decided why not.

31
00:01:57,787 –> 00:02:02,620
There was this sentence:
“Have balls to say and do what you want”.

32
00:02:02,640 –> 00:02:03,857
Nice.

33
00:02:03,858 –> 00:02:06,243
I thought that it makes sense.

34
00:02:06,244 –> 00:02:10,300
Then there was a quote on women
which motivated me.

35
00:02:10,301 –> 00:02:15,928
“If you wanna have most beautiful women,
you gotta be most beautiful yourself”.

36
00:02:15,929 –> 00:02:19,060
So, I decided to do it – change my life.

37
00:02:19,080 –> 00:02:21,342
It started from there.

38
00:02:21,343 –> 00:02:25,199
I was searching some passion
for a long time.

39
00:02:25,200 –> 00:02:27,157
The site stated that:

40
00:02:27,158 –> 00:02:30,814
“Find your passion,
figure out what you want to do,

41
00:02:30,815 –> 00:02:35,428
devote your life to some purpose,
have a vision of your life”.

42
00:02:35,429 –> 00:02:37,060
It took me a while.

43
00:02:37,080 –> 00:02:41,420
Firstly, I started exercising,
I did calisthenics,

44
00:02:41,440 –> 00:02:46,228
which are push-ups, sit-ups, pull-ups,
all sorts of things like that

45
00:02:46,229 –> 00:02:47,871
to weight you body.

46
00:02:47,872 –> 00:02:51,286
It was OK,
but I’m from a small village,

47
00:02:51,287 –> 00:02:55,940
so I didn’t have
the conditions to exercise.

48
00:02:55,960 –> 00:02:57,980
You know, agriculture.

49
00:02:58,000 –> 00:03:01,342
Mom works as a cleaner
for the lowest wage,

50
00:03:01,343 –> 00:03:03,780
dad has problems with alcohol.

51
00:03:03,800 –> 00:03:05,199
That’s how it was.

52
00:03:05,200 –> 00:03:09,128
I thought that I can’t sit on my ass
and do nothing,

53
00:03:09,129 –> 00:03:11,860
but I gotta do something about my life.

54
00:03:11,880 –> 00:03:17,279
So, I’ve made a decicion
about moving out of the house.

55
00:03:17,280 –> 00:03:22,413
I came to Kraków
and it was difficult for me at the start.

56
00:03:22,414 –> 00:03:24,985
I fueled up my car, took 2,000

57
00:03:24,986 –> 00:03:28,570
and came here,
without apartment or anything.

58
00:03:28,571 –> 00:03:34,199
I called a friend and asked
if he maybe knows where I can rent a flat.

59
00:03:34,200 –> 00:03:38,300
He told me that he has
a spare room and invited me.

60
00:03:38,320 –> 00:03:40,940
That’s how living in Kraków began.

61
00:03:40,960 –> 00:03:46,042
Later on, I found a job, sometimes
working from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m.

62
00:03:46,043 –> 00:03:51,029
I didn’t have money
to buy food through one week.

63
00:03:51,030 –> 00:03:52,913
Many things happened.

64
00:03:52,914 –> 00:03:58,959
Once, I didn’t have a place to stay,
because I couldn’t afford any.

65
00:03:58,960 –> 00:04:02,785
Or various other situations as this one.

66
00:04:02,786 –> 00:04:09,443
I also had a situation in which
there was -20 degrees outside

67
00:04:09,444 –> 00:04:16,220
and I was standing in front of the door
during the night, ’cause I forgot my key.

68
00:04:16,240 –> 00:04:20,442
So, I went through
some difficult situations

69
00:04:20,443 –> 00:04:24,328
which shaped me
and gave me a strong self-confidence.

70
00:04:24,329 –> 00:04:28,629
I was thinking like: “Fuck, man,
if you’ve gone through this,

71
00:04:28,630 –> 00:04:30,657
you can do anything”.

72
00:04:30,658 –> 00:04:33,513
That’s how it started. By a strong kick.

73
00:04:33,514 –> 00:04:36,113
So, you were motivated by suffering.

74
00:04:36,114 –> 00:04:40,485
You were fed up with your life
and wanted much more.

75
00:04:40,486 –> 00:04:43,986
Yes. Maybe not suffering,
but an inner will

76
00:04:43,987 –> 00:04:48,814
to prove myself that I can do more,
become a better person

77
00:04:48,815 –> 00:04:51,343
and have something more in life.

78
00:04:51,344 –> 00:04:55,471
Not just work in a day job for
1,500 or 3,000,

79
00:04:55,472 –> 00:05:00,943
live in a warm home with parents,
have money for food etc.

80
00:05:00,944 –> 00:05:06,028
You could’ve chosen the easier way
and work in warehouse for 2,500,

81
00:05:06,029 –> 00:05:08,142
rent a room and that’s it.

82
00:05:08,143 –> 00:05:12,242
You wouldn’t need to think
what more can you do.

83
00:05:12,243 –> 00:05:15,786
But you decided to
push yourself forward.

84
00:05:15,787 –> 00:05:20,186
You could’ve stayed on a normal level,
but you move forward.

85
00:05:20,187 –> 00:05:25,885
You probably have big dreams, as it’s
only the start and you’ve achieved much.

86
00:05:25,886 –> 00:05:30,843
You know, I get up everyday

87
00:05:30,844 –> 00:05:34,900
and I’m grateful
for the life I have right now.

88
00:05:34,901 –> 00:05:40,359
Everyday, I fold my hands and say:
“Thank you, God, for what I have”.

89
00:05:40,360 –> 00:05:43,460
Some people believe in God,
others don’t.

90
00:05:43,480 –> 00:05:46,686
I won’t take either side.

91
00:05:46,687 –> 00:05:49,020
It’s indifferent to me.

92
00:05:49,040 –> 00:05:50,585
I believe in God.

93
00:05:50,586 –> 00:05:55,700
At the start, I had this attitude
that in God doesn’t exist etc.

94
00:05:55,720 –> 00:05:59,257
I simply had this kind of approach.

95
00:05:59,258 –> 00:06:01,471
Then it has changed for me.

96
00:06:01,472 –> 00:06:05,671
I realized that
if I want to become a better person,

97
00:06:05,672 –> 00:06:07,457
I need to help people.

98
00:06:07,458 –> 00:06:15,080
My life mission is helping as many
people and as much as possible.

99
00:06:15,080 –> 00:06:17,180
I’m helping on a gym.

100
00:06:17,200 –> 00:06:22,714
It doesn’t matter if someone
has 5,000 PLN to pay me

101
00:06:22,715 –> 00:06:25,514
or 50 PLN, or even nothing.

102
00:06:25,515 –> 00:06:27,886
It’s not important for me.

103
00:06:27,887 –> 00:06:31,043
Money are important, but not the most.

104
00:06:31,044 –> 00:06:34,271
Helping people
is the most important for me,

105
00:06:34,272 –> 00:06:38,486
because if I give something,
it’ll come back to me twofold.

106
00:06:38,487 –> 00:06:42,656
It’s a good motivation for any action,
not only on a gym.

107
00:06:42,657 –> 00:06:47,719
Don’t you think that sport and gym
are the things

108
00:06:47,720 –> 00:06:50,780
that can teach and motivate a lot?

109
00:06:50,800 –> 00:06:54,056
100%. Even a million percent.

110
00:06:54,057 –> 00:06:55,914
I agree with that.

111
00:06:55,915 –> 00:07:00,785
Gym develops a character,
teaches humility, teaches discipline,

112
00:07:00,786 –> 00:07:04,270
teaches that
you can’t get something instantly.

113
00:07:04,271 –> 00:07:08,180
You have to earn it
by making slow, tiny steps.

114
00:07:08,200 –> 00:07:10,999
One brick after another.

115
00:07:11,000 –> 00:07:12,770
The same with body.

116
00:07:12,771 –> 00:07:18,740
The body doesn’t change at once, but
you gain muscle mass piece by piece.

117
00:07:18,760 –> 00:07:21,770
Each and every month, week, year.

118
00:07:21,771 –> 00:07:26,119
People think that life is an event.

119
00:07:26,120 –> 00:07:30,140
Like, something will happen
and it’s awesome.

120
00:07:30,160 –> 00:07:33,214
But life is actually a process.

121
00:07:33,215 –> 00:07:36,957
Our creations,
our life is a constant process.

122
00:07:36,958 –> 00:07:40,980
We gradually introduce some things.

123
00:07:41,000 –> 00:07:45,960
Now, I feel that I achieved
some success in my life.

124
00:07:45,960 –> 00:07:50,559
I still have a lot to do,
but I’ve already achieved something.

125
00:07:50,560 –> 00:07:56,300
I did it mainly because of
a hard work and self-esteem.

126
00:07:56,320 –> 00:08:01,359
Dear viewers, believe in yourself,
as it’s the most important thing.

127
00:08:01,360 –> 00:08:04,328
Otherwise, you won’t achieve anything.

128
00:08:04,329 –> 00:08:07,328
On my channel,
we talk about success,

129
00:08:07,329 –> 00:08:10,028
which can be broadly interpreted.

130
00:08:10,029 –> 00:08:14,842
If you want to achieve something,
like in online business,

131
00:08:14,843 –> 00:08:20,113
sport, gym, occupation,
your own company or any business,

132
00:08:20,114 –> 00:08:24,540
I think that regularity is the key.

133
00:08:24,560 –> 00:08:30,400
Can this be applicable
to regularity in doing exercises?

134
00:08:30,401 –> 00:08:33,220
Can you learn by practicing?

135
00:08:33,240 –> 00:08:34,820
Of course.

136
00:08:34,840 –> 00:08:40,799
Regularity can be learned anywhere,
but you must have a will to do it.

137
00:08:40,800 –> 00:08:43,513
First of all, you must want that.

138
00:08:43,514 –> 00:08:48,213
When you go to a gym,
you won’t achieve success right away.

139
00:08:48,214 –> 00:08:51,038
It takes time that you have to spend.

140
00:08:51,040 –> 00:08:57,142
So you either look for excuses,
that I don’t want to, it’s not for me

141
00:08:57,143 –> 00:09:02,599
or you make a decision to go for it
and you start doing it.

142
00:09:02,600 –> 00:09:08,039
Probably many younger people watch us,
who want the change in life.

143
00:09:08,040 –> 00:09:13,028
Maybe they want to do fitness
or go in other direction.

144
00:09:13,029 –> 00:09:16,486
Please tell me,
as my guest in this video,

145
00:09:16,487 –> 00:09:18,743
what would you advise them?

146
00:09:18,744 –> 00:09:21,286
Where to start making changes?

147
00:09:21,287 –> 00:09:24,214
You were moving out,
it was hard for you.

148
00:09:24,215 –> 00:09:29,680
What would you advise people
who are maybe in the same position now?

149
00:09:29,680 –> 00:09:31,114
What to do?

150
00:09:31,115 –> 00:09:37,959
Most often we make decisions
when we’re most miserable.

151
00:09:37,960 –> 00:09:41,599
I’ve made mine during this state.

152
00:09:41,600 –> 00:09:45,919
I’ve made this decision
when I felt most miserable.

153
00:09:45,920 –> 00:09:50,600
So, when you feel that
the things are fucked up,

154
00:09:50,601 –> 00:09:52,743
make up your mind.

155
00:09:52,744 –> 00:09:55,571
Decide to do something different.

156
00:09:55,572 –> 00:09:58,429
Introduce new things to your life.

157
00:09:58,430 –> 00:10:02,086
But, first of all,
make a decision to do it.

158
00:10:02,087 –> 00:10:05,457
Decision is the key.

159
00:10:05,458 –> 00:10:10,328
I can only confirm that,
because I was also very miserable,

160
00:10:10,329 –> 00:10:14,386
but when I was extremely low,
on the very botton,

161
00:10:14,387 –> 00:10:17,980
only then I felt that it’s time to change.

162
00:10:18,000 –> 00:10:22,279
It’s like that in every case,
also a bit in yours.

163
00:10:22,280 –> 00:10:27,020
You need to get through the pain
in order to grow.

164
00:10:27,040 –> 00:10:30,300
100%. Effects can’t be seen right away.

165
00:10:30,320 –> 00:10:35,485
It’s often the case
that we work very hard for something,

166
00:10:35,486 –> 00:10:37,900
we’re freaking exhausted.

167
00:10:37,920 –> 00:10:42,014
– Sorry that I swear sometimes.
– Sometimes it’s advisable.

168
00:10:42,015 –> 00:10:47,071
Sometimes it’s easier for me
to convey emotions through swearing.

169
00:10:47,072 –> 00:10:52,359
Sometimes you have to
work your fucking ass off

170
00:10:52,360 –> 00:10:54,843
and then do even fucking more.

171
00:10:54,844 –> 00:10:58,039
Only after some time
you’ll see the results.

172
00:10:58,040 –> 00:11:01,740
I didn’t see
the results of my work right away.

173
00:11:01,760 –> 00:11:06,043
I didn’t have many clients.
It was a gradual process.

174
00:11:06,044 –> 00:11:12,056
There were sometimes worse periods,
but I wasn’t dicouraged.

175
00:11:12,057 –> 00:11:16,342
I kept going in that direction,
as I had my vision,

176
00:11:16,343 –> 00:11:19,100
in what place do I want to be.

177
00:11:19,101 –> 00:11:24,013
If we want to achieve something,
we can’t focus only on a goal.

178
00:11:24,014 –> 00:11:27,671
Let’s focus on the whole process.

179
00:11:27,672 –> 00:11:33,620
Don’t focus on the physical goal,
but on the vision of it.

180
00:11:33,640 –> 00:11:39,460
If you want to be awesome in something,
then bring value to people.

181
00:11:39,480 –> 00:11:44,380
Be valuable and people
will rise you even higher.

182
00:11:44,400 –> 00:11:47,180
I think this will be a good summary.

183
00:11:47,200 –> 00:11:50,757
Let’s give value,
do something for others,

184
00:11:50,758 –> 00:11:53,657
because it will return to us.

185
00:11:53,658 –> 00:11:56,686
And when life is hard for you,
let’s act,

186
00:11:56,687 –> 00:12:01,240
because we can only change
by breaking from comfort zones.

187
00:12:01,240 –> 00:12:04,743
Like in exercise,
it has to hurt in order to grow.

188
00:12:04,744 –> 00:12:08,386
The same with being healthy.
There’s no other way.

189
00:12:08,387 –> 00:12:13,528
If you want to get some help
from Łukasz here at the gym

190
00:12:13,529 –> 00:12:17,843
or outside,
as you also engage in motivation?

191
00:12:17,844 –> 00:12:25,420
Yes. Check out my Facebook, Instagram
and my Facebook group.

192
00:12:25,440 –> 00:12:27,757
You can find all the links below.

193
00:12:27,758 –> 00:12:30,857
Join us. I organize a big group of people.

194
00:12:30,858 –> 00:12:34,028
It’s called
“Śmistek. Motywacja do treningu”.

195
00:12:34,029 –> 00:12:37,899
We motivate, inspire, help
and solve problems there.

196
00:12:37,900 –> 00:12:39,800
Be welcome to join us.

197
00:12:39,801 –> 00:12:41,620
Thanks for watching.

198
00:12:41,640 –> 00:12:46,642
I also invite you to
all the Łukasz’s profiles.

199
00:12:46,643 –> 00:12:50,940
I think it won’t be
the last video with Łukasz.

200
00:12:50,960 –> 00:12:55,359
– I hope we’ll record something together.
– Me too.

201
00:12:55,360 –> 00:12:59,657
If you want more,
give us reactions and comments.

202
00:12:59,658 –> 00:13:03,000
In this way
we know that you want more.

203
00:13:03,001 –> 00:13:06,271
Write what else
you want to know from Łukasz.

204
00:13:06,272 –> 00:13:08,786
– We’ll record another video.
– Yes.

205
00:13:08,787 –> 00:13:11,143
Take care of yourselves.
