How To Take Back Control Over Your Life

Greetings everyone, Morgan Freeman. Here, I am happy to introduce today’s episode of the list building lifestyle show which is centered on the profound topic of responsibility and personal agency. It is a concept that resonates deeply with me in one that I try to empower the young generation to embrace. Humans are inclined to shy away from accountability and responsibility. It is a natural response because it is much simpler to relinquish control to external forces than to take ownership of your own life. However, it is essential to recognize that true freedom can only be attained through accepting and embracing responsibility. It is important to understand that freedom and responsibility are inextricably linked. The price of true autonomy is the willingness to accept responsibility. In this episode, Igor will provide valuable insights to help you take control of your life. I implore you to take heed of the wisdom he shares and endeavor to seize back control of your destiny.

I don’t claim to have a solution for all the problems that we face in our society. And I bet most of the solutions that are required, they’re probably more complex than a black and white. Here’s what you do, here’s what you don’t do. But I come from a world where if you’re not responsible, if you’re not self-disciplined, and if you don’t hustle, if you don’t really care for yourself, if you if you just sit around and wait for the world to care for you, you know, you’re just going to die. When I mean, when I was working in job, I had zero control, I felt like I’ve got no control over my life, I had no control about when I was waking up, I had no control or about when I was going on vacation if I was going on vacation and where I would go on vacation where I allowed to go. It was zero control. Absolute. This was absolute agony for someone like me who wants to feel in control. It created tons of anxiety. Any bill that came in the mail, or even an invitation to your friend’s wedding or a birthday felt like a fine. And it was terrible, you know, building the list and making money building my first farm was the ultimate sweet feeling. It was , you know, almost like a brain gasm because all of a sudden, I was like, oh my god, I just made money happen. And I didn’t have you know, I didn’t need a boss or a job to do it. It gave me an insane sense of control. I absolutely loved it. And I got hooked on it from that moment forward, where you want to be in control. And you take responsibility for all the results you create. But it’s you creating those results. And you’re okay with that even if those results are shitty, you’re still the one responsible, you’re the one calling the shots. I really like this idea. This is what any entrepreneur will tell you, this is what they believe. But most people are not like that. I think most people walk around very entitled, they want someone else to solve their problem. Of course, there’s this study about people who had cancer, and were complaining about treatment. And they asked them, would you like to be responsible for your own treatment? Would you like to be responsible for developing your own treatment plan? And everybody said no. So, you know, people hate the idea of being responsible. And the whole idea of freedom in general is a really scary idea. Because you’re all of a sudden 100% responsible for whatever is happening in your life. Most people don’t like that. And this again, this is gonna sound controversial, but the way Hitler actually got people to bind to the idea of following him and marching on the rest of Europe and the rest of the world. You know, one this one spot. That was really a good spot that a lot of people really just kind of said, you know what? Yeah, that’s it. They couldn’t articulate it consciously at the time. But later on when Hitler killed himself after the war, he started doing studies or looking back. And what they found out is that people actually fooled him because in a time of economic turmoil, he stepped up, he took responsibility. He led them and they did not need to think anymore. They just had to follow the leader and everything’s gonna be okay. We’re just gonna do whatever the leader says. And then of course, Hitler is not the only guy in history who kind of took advantage of this opportunity. But that kind of tells you about what most people want. They don’t want to think they don’t want to be responsible. They don’t want to be critical thinkers. They’d much rather judge. They’d much rather just you follow along with whatever’s popular, you know, this week, you know, whether it’s the woke culture or anything else, you know, they’ll just subscribe, you know, they’ll try to, you know, celebrate the person that comes up with the 15th type of milk. We haven’t Starbucks, I mean, we got coconut oil, and this and that, I mean, how many do you really need and but that’s what people are really occupied with, you know, not with their own life, not with taking responsibility for their own problems, not to take responsibility for their own bodies for their own substance use or whatever else. It’s all about kind of looking outwards, into the Worland and judging everyone for whatever reason. So being fully responsible and taking 100% responsibility for the outcomes in my life. It makes for a more difficult life, but it makes for a much more fulfilling life.
