Number one, change your inputs to change your outputs.

第一，改變輸入就能改變輸出。

So a lot of us go throughout life completely unaware of why we do certain things, or why we think certain thoughts, or why we say things the way that we say them, with the tone in which we say them.

是以，我們很多人終其一生都完全不知道自己為什麼會做某些事情，為什麼會有某些想法，為什麼會以這樣的方式和語氣說話。

Or we can't figure out why we're tired all the time.

或者，我們不知道自己為什麼總是感到疲倦。

Our behavior is like a mystery to us.

我們的行為對我們來說就像一個謎。

Something completely out of our control, like the weather, or some foreign government EMPing you while you're in a plane on the way to Europe.

一些完全超出我們控制範圍的事情，比如天氣，或者某個外國政府在你乘坐飛機前往歐洲的途中對你進行電磁脈衝。

But maybe things aren't so complicated or mysterious.

但也許事情並沒有那麼複雜或神祕。

Maybe we're putting out exactly what we're putting in.

也許我們投入多少，就會產出多少。

Your mother and your grandmother have said it since you were a child.

你的母親和祖母從小就這麼說。

You are what you eat.

你吃什麼，你就是什麼。

But it goes way deeper than that.

但問題遠不止於此。

You are what you eat, what you smell, what you see.

吃什麼，聞什麼，看什麼，你就是什麼。

Your senses are soaking in inputs all the time. 99.9% of which are synthesized and understood and processed by your subconscious.

你的感官無時無刻不在吸收各種資訊。其中 99.9% 都會被你的潛意識綜合、理解和處理。

And what that means is that you're not conscious of it.

而這意味著你並沒有意識到這一點。

You're not consciously aware of the fact that all these calculations are being made.

你並沒有意識到所有這些計算正在進行。

Your conscious mind is super efficient at no longer noticing the filth in your bedroom, the moldy spaghetti behind your monitor.

你的意識會變得超級高效，不再注意到臥室裡的髒東西，顯示器後面發黴的意大利麵條。

But your subconscious smells that every second of the day.

但你的潛意識每時每刻都在嗅到這種味道。

What you are inputting into your subconscious is information that is making you feel a certain way, that's making you behave a certain way.

你輸入潛意識的資訊會讓你產生某種感覺，讓你做出某種行為。

Become conscious of what you are feeding your subconscious on a regular basis.

要有意識地瞭解自己平時給潛意識灌輸了什麼。

When was the last time you saw a tree?

你最後一次看到樹是什麼時候？

Number two.

二號

You have to stretch in order to grow.

為了成長，你必須伸展。

So in order to be successful in life, you probably need to have habits that benefit you.

是以，要想在生活中取得成功，你可能需要養成對自己有益的習慣。

So maybe you don't have those.

所以，也許你沒有這些。

And maybe you want to be a person that has those.

也許你也想成為這樣的人。

But I think there are two main ways that people fail to implement beneficial habits for the long term.

但我認為，人們無法長期養成有益習慣的主要原因有兩個。

The first way is they think it's going to be too easy.

第一種方式是，他們認為這太容易了。

They think that habit change is this really fun thing.

他們認為改變習慣是一件非常有趣的事情。

People want to go to the gym every day.

人們每天都想去健身房。

So they shop for new supplements and new workout clothes.

是以，他們會購買新的保健品和新的運動服。

And they get all infatuated with this idea of being this healthy gym going person.

他們迷戀上了去健身房鍛鍊的健康理念。

And then obviously, you know the story.

很顯然，你知道這個故事。

You show up to the gym and it's way harder than you thought it was going to be.

你來到健身房，卻發現比你想象的要難得多。

It feels nothing like thinking about going to the gym.

這種感覺和想去健身房的感覺完全不同。

Lifting weights is hard.

舉重很難

You have to sweat.

你必須流汗。

And then you feel like, hey, this isn't fun.

然後你就會覺得，嘿，這一點都不好玩。

So you stop doing it.

所以你就不做了。

The second way I see people fail is they think it's going to be really hard and miserable, treacherous, not worth it.

我看到的人們失敗的第二種方式是，他們認為這將是非常艱難和痛苦的，險象環生，不值得。

Maybe they've tried a bunch of times and they've burned away their naivety.

也許他們已經試過很多次了，他們已經燒掉了自己的天真。

And they say things like, I would start going to the gym, but I just don't feel like putting in all of that effort.

他們會說："我會開始去健身房，但我不想花那麼多精力。

It's not worth it.

這不值得。

You probably can identify that there are truths and falsehoods to both of these approaches.

你或許可以發現，這兩種方法都有真有假。

Yeah, it's not easy to implement a new habit.

是啊，要養成一個新習慣可不容易。

Yes, it's not going to feel natural and it's going to be kind of unpleasant for a lot of it.

是的，這不會讓人感覺自然，而且很多時候會讓人感到不愉快。

But also, it is worth it.

不過，這也是值得的。

Because every single time you implement something that is genuinely good for you, when you can manage to have these small wins, when you actually show up to the gym, you put in a workout, it is difficult.

因為每當你實施一些真正對你有益的事情時，當你能設法取得這些小勝利時，當你真正出現在健身房，投入鍛鍊時，這都是很困難的。

But when you leave the gym and you're sitting there on your couch after a great workout, chugging back a protein shake, you get this quiet feeling of victory.

但是，當你離開健身房，鍛鍊結束後坐在沙發上，大口大口地喝著蛋白奶昔時，你會有一種勝利的平靜感覺。

Like, damn, a lot of bad things could happen to me today, but at least I went to the gym.

就像，該死的，今天可能會有很多壞事發生在我身上，但至少我去了健身房。

And that might seem subtle, but if you compound that feeling over a very long time, you feel like a completely different person.

這種感覺可能看起來很微妙，但如果你把這種感覺長期疊加在一起，你就會覺得自己完全變了一個人。

You have inputted into your mind repeatedly that you have won.

你在腦海中反覆輸入 "你已經贏了"。

You've done something worthwhile.

你做了一件有意義的事

You're growing.

你在成長

You're getting stronger.

你越來越強壯了。

And when you have that narrative in your subconscious, the way you walk changes, the way you make eye contact with people changes, the way you treat yourself changes.

當你的潛意識中有了這樣的敘述，你走路的方式就會改變，與人眼神交流的方式就會改變，對待自己的方式也會改變。

That's the power of burning away this lesser self, of voluntarily subjecting yourself to pain.

這就是燃燒掉低劣自我的力量，是讓自己自願承受痛苦的力量。

Because what that tells yourself is that I'm willing to go through this to better myself because I'm worth it.

因為這告訴自己，我願意經歷這一切來提升自己，因為我值得。

I'm shouldering so much suffering so that I can be the best version of myself, so that I can be stronger, so I can treat myself with respect.

我肩負著如此多的苦難，這樣我才能成為最好的自己，這樣我才能變得更強大，這樣我才能尊重自己。

And that narrative, treating yourself that way, completely transforms your existence.

這樣的敘述，這樣的對待自己，完全改變了你的存在。

That is absolutely worth it.

這絕對是值得的。

And suffering viewed in this proper context is a wonderful thing.

從這個正確的角度來看，苦難是一件美妙的事情。

It is joyous, even.

它甚至是快樂的。

So remember that.

所以，請記住這一點。

Yes, it's painful.

是的，這很痛苦。

But hell yeah, it's worth it.

不過，這也是值得的。

Number three, guard your eyes.

第三，保護好你的眼睛。

The more we look at something, the more we are telling our brain that this thing is valuable.

我們看的東西越多，就越能告訴大腦，這件東西是有價值的。

This thing is important to us.

這件事對我們很重要。

Even when looking at something as a reflex, you hear a pen drop next to you and you're home alone, you're going to look at that right away.

即使是在條件反射的情況下看東西，如果你聽到旁邊有筆掉落的聲音，而你又一個人在家，你也會馬上去看。

Because you value that information.

因為你重視這些資訊。

It could be a predator.

可能是捕食者。

It could be somebody climbing through your windows ready to stab your dog.

可能是有人爬過你的窗戶，準備捅死你的狗。

I find that the more I scroll Instagram, the more I scan my environment kind of aimlessly, looking for something to sort of pique my interest.

我發現我越是滾動 Instagram，就越是漫無目的地掃描周圍的環境，尋找能引起我興趣的東西。

You know, there's this sort of this aimlessness to my field of vision, where I'm just kind of looking for things to stimulate me, to give me a little brain tickle.

你知道，我的視野是漫無目的的，我只是在尋找能刺激我的東西，給我的大腦一點刺激。

If you really need to focus on something in particular, try looking at it for 30 seconds.

如果你真的需要專注於某件事情，可以試著看它 30 秒鐘。

Try controlling your eyes, guarding it from distraction, and literally just looking at the thing that you're supposed to do.

試著控制自己的眼睛，不讓它分心，真的只是看著你應該做的事情。

And not directing your vision anywhere else but that thing.

除了那件事，不要把目光投向其他地方。

And when your eyes are focusing on something, your entire being tends to focus on it.

而當你的眼睛專注於某件事情時，你的整個人也會傾向於專注於它。

So you don't have to overthink things.

這樣你就不用想太多了。

Just look at what you're supposed to do.

看看你應該做什麼。

Don't allow yourself to look anywhere else.

不要讓自己去看其他地方。

Treat your eyes like a laser beam.

像對待激光束一樣對待你的眼睛。

Have a reason to be looking where you're looking.

有理由去尋找你正在尋找的地方。

Number four, figure it out.

第四，想辦法。

So if you want to get into powerlifting really badly, and you've never lifted a dumbbell, a barbell in your life, then obviously a really dumb thing to do would be to go onto YouTube and watch a bunch of videos of people who can powerlift or deadlift 600 pounds or more.

是以，如果你非常想從事舉重運動，而你又從來沒有舉過啞鈴或槓鈴，那麼很明顯，你要做的一件非常愚蠢的事情就是去 YouTube 上觀看那些能舉起 600 磅或更多的人的視頻。

You watch all these videos of these strong dudes showing you the best possible way to deadlift 600 pounds.

你看了所有這些視頻，這些強壯的帥哥向你展示了負重舉起 600 磅的最佳方法。

Like that's such a waste of time.

這簡直是浪費時間。

If you've never deadlifted a thing in your life, then watching any of these videos is the biggest waste of your time you could possibly imagine.

如果你一輩子都沒練過舉重，那麼看這些視頻就是在浪費你的時間。

Go to the gym first, and then when you're at the gym, take out your phone and watch a video on basic form, so you don't hurt yourself while you're deadlifting.

先去健身房，然後在健身房時拿出手機觀看有關基本姿勢的視頻，這樣就不會在舉重時受傷了。

But deadlift.

但是舉重

Take all the energy you would use to try to figure out the perfect way to do something and use it to do the thing repeatedly and terribly so that you can get good at it faster than you ever would by watching videos about it.

把你試圖找出做一件事的完美方法的所有精力，用來反覆做這件事，這樣你就能比看相關視頻更快地精通這件事。

There is no amount of videos you could watch.

你可以觀看的視頻不計其數。

You could watch 7,000 powerlifting videos and you would not be able to deadlift one more pound.

你可以觀看 7,000 個舉重視頻，但卻無法再舉起一磅重物。

Maybe like two more pounds, but it ain't gonna be 600.

也許會多兩磅，但不會是 600 磅。

Most people's problem nowadays is they forgot what it feels like to just figure things out.

如今，大多數人的問題在於，他們忘記了琢磨事情的感覺。

Start doing the thing, obviously don't hurt yourself, don't be dumb, but figure it out.

開始做這件事，顯然不要傷害自己，也不要做傻事，但要想清楚。

Oh no, Joey's telling me to start doing like free solo climbing on the side of a cliff and not watch a video or get a mentor.

哦，不，喬伊讓我開始在懸崖邊進行自由單人攀巖，而不是看視頻或找導師。

No, I'm not.

不，我沒有。

Figure it out.

想辦法

Figure it out.

想辦法

Number five, use leverage.

第五，利用槓桿作用。

This sounds like the most technical one.

這聽起來是最技術性的問題。

It sounds like, I don't know what it sounds like.

聽起來，我不知道聽起來像什麼。

It sounds stupid.

這聽起來很蠢。

That's what it sounds.

聽起來就是這樣。

Not all productive things are created equal.

並非所有富有成效的事情都是一樣的。

There are things that you really should be doing, or maybe there's literally one thing that you always avoid doing.

有些事情你真的應該去做，或許有一件事你總是避而不談。

And it is by far the most important thing you could possibly do.

這是迄今為止你能做的最重要的事情。

In my own life, that's making videos.

我自己的生活就是製作視頻。

From a strictly monetary ROI perspective, making videos from start to finish and hitting upload is by far the best use of my time I can possibly do.

從嚴格的貨幣投資回報率角度來看，從頭到尾製作視頻並點擊上傳，是迄今為止我所能做的最好的時間利用方式。

So whenever I am hanging out and, you know, I'm painting my windowsill black in my theater room, you know, that is a productive thing.

所以，每當我在外面閒逛時，我都會把我影院房間的窗臺刷成黑色，你知道，這是一件很有成就感的事情。

I'm painting my windowsill.

我正在粉刷窗臺。

I'm doing something.

我在做事

But when I have a deadline for a sponsor and I need to make a video and I have something on my mind and I should just sit here and talk about it, what the hell am I doing painting a window?

但是，當我有贊助商的最後期限，我需要製作一個視頻，我有心事，我應該坐在這裡談論它，我到底在做什麼刷窗戶？

So many things in life are like that, where, yeah, it's technically productive, but it's not the thing.

生活中的很多事情都是這樣，是的，從技術上講，它是有成效的，但它不是事情的關鍵。

It's not the thing that is on your mind, that's plaguing your existence, that is making you feel like you need to escape.

讓你感到需要逃避的，並不是你心中所想、困擾你生存的事情。

Everybody has that thing.

每個人都有這種情況。

You need to find a way to do whatever that thing is as often as possible for as long as possible with as much intensity as possible.

你需要找到一種方法，在儘可能長的時間內，以儘可能高的強度，儘可能頻繁地做那件事。

There's a dirty joke in here somewhere.

這裡面肯定有個黃色笑話。

And on the exact same wavelength, there's something that is the absolute worst use of your time that you could possibly do.

而在同樣的波長上，有一件事絕對是你可能做的最浪費你時間的事。

It has the absolute worst ROI out of any activity that you do on a daily or weekly basis.

在你每天或每週進行的任何活動中，它的投資回報率絕對是最差的。

If you thought about it for even three seconds, there's no reason to do it.

如果你想過，哪怕只有三秒鐘，也沒有理由這麼做。

You need to find a way to do that thing as little as possible.

你需要想辦法儘量少做那件事。

So that's what it looks like to maximize leverage.

這就是槓桿作用最大化的樣子。

Make that one thing that you need to do as enjoyable as possible, as frictionless as possible.

讓你需要做的那件事儘可能愉快，儘可能無摩擦。

Make it just so easy to do all the time for a long period of time.

讓它變得簡單易行，並能長期堅持下去。

Spend money and time to help you make that thing as good as possible.

花費金錢和時間來幫助你儘可能地做好這件事。

Increase the quality and enjoyability of that most important thing.

提高最重要事物的品質和可欣賞性。

And on the exact same token, make doing the worst thing that you can possibly do as unenjoyable as possible.

同樣的道理，做最糟糕的事情也要儘可能讓自己感到不愉快。

Straight out miserable, right?

簡直慘不忍睹，對吧？

Make it inconvenient.

製造不便。

Make it as hard as possible to do what you don't want to do and as easy as possible to do the best thing you could possibly do.

讓你做不想做的事儘可能難，讓你做能做的最好的事儘可能容易。

Number six, stop running from yourself.

第六，停止逃避自己。

Desiring to be a better version of yourself should not be confused with wanting to run away from who you are.

希望成為更好的自己，不應與想要逃避自己混為一談。

That might sound cheesy, but believe me, I've been there.

這聽起來可能有點俗氣，但相信我，我是過來人。

I've wanted to just not be who I am.

我一直想不做我自己。

And instead of just resenting my situation, I confused it with resenting myself for punishing myself for failing or thinking it's somehow unacceptable to be in the state that I'm in or to have the lifestyle that I have.

我不只是怨恨自己的處境，而是把它與怨恨自己懲罰自己的失敗混為一談，或者認為我現在的狀態或我現在的生活方式是不可接受的。

And it's very important to realize that once you start attacking yourself, instead of just being proactive about leaving your undesirable situation, as soon as you start attacking yourself, all progress stops.
