      “Dad, she left you two days ago…” *smh*

    This is an amazing video to start an evening routine. Stuff like:

    1. Meditate
    2. face skin routine
    3. push up and pull ups
    4. Meal prep for tomorrow

  • @Shreadington says:

    Best things I did as a young guy that propelled me forward were: self accountability and discipline, getting comfortable with rejection/failing my way to the top, not procrastinating, building a time management plan, turning off ALL social media notifications, personal development physical and mental, and asking God to take on my stress vs trying to handle it myself. I’ve done it all and now teach my teenagers how to do it as well.

  • @lawrence31415 says:

    My proudest accomplishment was earning my PhD last year. It was one of my lifelong goals, and achieving it has opened the door to so many rewarding moments. Fellow viewers, anything is possible when you take initiative. Plus, I do enjoy it when people ask me this question, “What’s up, Doc?” 😄

    • @StevenAsadi says:

      You Are not an M.D.

    • @lawrence31415 says:

      ​@@StevenAsadi Correct, I’m not an MD. However, a PhD also carries the title of Doctor. I’m just not the kind of doctor who checks pulses; I tackle and solve different kinds of problems. By the way, what title do you hold, good sir?

    Important things:
    0:22 First Thing ÷ Overthinking Instead Of Taking Action;
    2:33 Second Thing ÷ Letting Rejection Define You;
    4:34 Third Thing ÷ Not Valuing Your Time Enough;
    6:30 Fourth Thing ÷ Avoiding Discomfort At All Cost;
    7:53 Fifth Thing ÷ Seeking Validation Instead Of Clarity;
    8:42 Sixth Thing ÷ Surrounding Yourself With The Wrong People;
    10:02 to summarize all the told here.
    What you have told there Courtney, you are right. Also I can agree that women also do go through couple of these things that you have mentioned. At fourth thing that you have told there, I wouldn’t just say it’s staying in the comfort zone. I would rather say that it’s staying in the zone of the known, since it’s better that the zone of unknown becomes the zone of known (I say it a positive way). If we see what is the cause of that, there can be only one thing here. And that is mindset. Why? because all of these things do come from the mindset or mindsets that we adopt during our development. So, we have to change the mindset or mindsets. We have to work on self-confidence. It’s not an easy thing. It’s like when you start exercises, and you build up yourself.
    When I was listening to you Courtney I have remembered two quotes:
    1. The first one goes like this: Ivo Andrić (one famous Nobel prize winner from Balkan peninsula. For more details search on internet) once told this thing: “The person who never makes a mistake does nothing in principle. And of course that’s how his life went by. But person who makes mistakes, at least it tries to do something in his life.”
    2. The second one goes like this: “Never give up on your goals and plans. You don’t know who you’re inspiring.”

    • @zenan316 says:

      Thanks mate, and once again Courtney presents a video with talking points she’s said a million times

      And also says something that only applies to men that are unattractive

      If a CHAD did any of this he still gets women because women only notice all these extra things for men that they don’t immediately think is super attractive

      The ones that are to them get away with everything and she knows this

  • @andreasleonhard1512 says:

    9:45 These 6 things do not seem small. I agree with all of them, and I think they are all major issues. The point about friends becomes especially important and obvious if you are trying to do something extraordinary in your life. Many will support you, but many will try and pull you down. I started doing stand-up comedy and podcasting. A few friends, or rather former friends, have greatly disappointed me, but a lot of people have thankfully also pleasantly surprised me. Misery loves company! Don’t let them pull you down.

  • @jacoblevin2178 says:

    Oh my gosh. This was just the pep talk I needed. Only thing is add an “I’m proud of you,” in a fan way, at the end to be *chief’s kiss.* I’ve been excercising when I can, keeping on top of my classes, checking in on friends once per week, talking to new people as feels natural, taking nothing personal, and keeping in perspective.

  • @tobiasgarrard9271 says:

    Wow! Rejection as redirection! And.. effort over outcome! Plans not mood. Challenge brings change. Revelational💜

  • @AllenHaggins says:

    I’m going through a heartbreak at the moment and i feel my life is over and depressed, its not easy loosing someone you love dearly. I feel so much pains right now and wish to have my love back

    • @frederickbruton says:

      Heartbreak is always painful and depress and i also go through a terrible heartbreak 2months ago and a friend introduce me to a spiritual counselor who helped me to reconcile with my lover and we are happily living together now

    • @AllenHaggins says:

      Oh, really? Can this person help me to get my partner back?

    • @frederickbruton says:

      Absolutely, Father Osoba Salama is the spiritual counselor who can help you reconcile with your ex

    • @AllenHaggins says:

      Thank u so much🙏 indeed sharing problems bring solution and I curiously make a research online with the name and found his website, Thanks

    • @hansnielsen6280 says:

      We recognize your ridiculous marketing spam

  • @Ezilla82 says:

    Definitely the overthinking part, but I’m trying to stop doing that and also, I need to learn to get out of my comfort zone and get into the discomfort on doing things. Still a process but thank you Courtney for sharing this. It’s very appreciated.

  • @aootypooty9940 says:

    Number 2 resonates with me the most, as a 5’6 dude, it doesnt feel like I’ll ever be enough for anyone. Constant rejection is brutal for my mental health and it’s getting to the point where I stop trying all together.

    • @jondrake1977 says:

      same brother.

    • @NeoClockworkOrange says:

      Dude, don’t give up, it will happen for you.

      Suoer tall women date super tall men, and vice versa.

      Just make sure you target the right height cohort and don’t be hard on yourself.

    • @andersnielsen6044 says:

      ^^ apart from the above – I will recommend you to start dating yourself and you will experience the magic comming to you – all by itself. 😉

    • @mstutzzzz says:

      Your only short based on the denominator. If you change some hobbies and hangout with other groups let’s say Asians or Latinos your no longer short just a normal guy. Leave the height upsest women to compete amongst themselves. Get your finances looks career inline and don’t be the backup guy.

    • @LordBenjaminSalt says:

      I’m 5’10, in the UK, so perfectly average height. I’ve been told by female friends and coworkers that I’m too short for most women to be interested in. My reaction to this? I point to the 50% of my male coworkers who are shorter than me, but almost all are in relationships despite almost no women apparently being interested in men that height.
      Height doesn’t actually matter that much, if you’re self-conscious about it that’s almost definitely the bigger turn off. What can you do about that? I don’t know 😅
      I’m keenly aware that my lack of self confidence and self esteem is the biggest hurdle in my life.

  • @Cee_Eff says:

    I ended up taking rejection personally after I got excluded from a friend group from being rejected that one time too many. They didn’t want woman to see that they were friends “…That Guy…” and be instantly rejected by association.
    The rejections I took in stride…being excluded from the friends group really hurt me.

  • @martinnielsen5805 says:

    For me it is getting the wrong people out of my life. I hve been doing it for a while and it really helps.

  • @GregB_1 says:

    After a challenging time following divorce, I signed up with a dating coach who has been working with men on personal transformation for quite a while. We cover and actively pursue all of these six points – all are very critical to making progress as a man. I am becoming the man, partner, father, and leader I want to be.
    Thank you Courtney for putting these all in one thorough message.

  • @andersnielsen6044 says:

    My biggest flaw is, and always has been, the lack of patience especially towards other people. It really have sabotaged a lot of plans, growth or intentions for me in the past. 😉

  • @x-man5056 says:

    Over thinking it is a big one for me. It hits often when considering a cold approach (answer: “just do it”). But also when you meet someone new and it’s unclear whether she has interest or not. This is where patience is a virtue. You can talk yourself out of free gold if you let stink’n think’n take over. Nothing about romance is urgent. Slower is almost always better. Rushing a romantic connection is like pushing a rope, it’s not going to go where you want it to. It can easily be construed as anxious or ‘needy”, also.

  • @Vanessa_88-g3e says:

    I’ve lived long enough to know that talent isn’t what holds most men back, it’s the quiet war they wage against themselves when no one’s around. I’ve dated powerful men, brilliant men, deeply kind men… and the ones who ended up stuck had one thing in common: deep down, they didn’t believe they were enough. They masked it with overworking, over-giving, or pretending not to care. But you can’t outrun what you feel you don’t deserve. One man I loved, a bit younger than me, started shifting after he read “The Power of Unshakable Self-Worth by Caden Rivers”. At first I thought it was just another “motivational” phase, but no. It was like he started finally seeing himself the way I saw him. Strong. Deserving. Enough. And when a man embodies that… wow, it’s magnetic.

    Gentle reminder to any man reading this: your worth isn’t something you have to earn. But you do have to own it.
