6 Inspiring Questions to Boost Motivation
Like you, I lose motivation. I throw my books to the ground and shout, “I don’t wanna!”
But nonetheless I have to if I’m going to achieve my goals.
The biggest reason I lose motivation has nothing to do with what’s going on out there, but everything to do with what’s going on in here my head.
When the negative self-doubt talk takes over my internal dialogue, it’s like a bull in a china shop, destabilizing and destroying everything in sight.
Therefore the objective is to get this bull out the door and out of my head. Questions are that door. Bad questions let the bull in and good questions let the bull out.
The best questions for me, are those that make the insurmountable odds of success seem much more manageable and attainable.
Here are 6 inspiring questions to boost motivation and productivity.
HOW CAN I GET 1000 TRUE FANS?
There’s a famous article about how we only need 1000 true fans to build a profitable business and so out of the billions of people out there setting this specific goal of only a 1000 true fans makes it much easier for me to wrap my head around it.
It is a matter of focusing on depth and not breadth in my work. For example I rather deeply impact 1000 people than gently stroke 100,000 people.
HOW CAN I CREATE SOMETHING PEOPLE LOOK FORWARD TO?
I think about my friends and family or even myself and think what could I create that they would look forward to receiving.
I think I’m getting to a point with these videos. I also created a weekly newsletter that people look forward to. And I try to create that sense with Live to Challenge and people excited join.
WHAT COULD I HAVE DONE BETTER TODAY?
At the end of the day I often ask myself this question. I should probably ask myself what I did well too, but I digress. This question helps me see where I need to make a few tweaks. For example, yesterday I spent too much time getting sucked into the news before getting started with my work. Today I adjusted course by telling myself that before I even look at my computer I should have a task in mind that I’m ready to work on.
WHAT’S THE OBSTACLE?
My main man Marcus Aurelius once said, “The impediment to action advances action. That which stands in the way becomes the way."
My mind can make the unknown seem so impenetrable. How can I possibly do this!? But when I break down the obstacles, although some will be huge hurdles, it still makes it all feel more manageable.
WHAT IS THE BEST THING TO DO RIGHT NOW?
If I get too caught up in the future I can get overwhelmed by it. Not feeling ready to start.
I just stop the mental chatter and ask this question. And it usually doesn’t take my mind more than a few seconds to come up with an answer.
WHAT COULD GO WRONG IF I DON’T DO THIS?

yocialism-why-youth-so-socialist
It’s not surprising young people are socialist when we don’t own anything.
We don’t own our homes, cars, labor, subscribers, or much of our income as it’s taken to pay off college debt.
If conservatives want young people to be more capitalist than preaching to them about its virtues will only go so far as nature and the system intended humans to be more low-information short-term focused.
Therefore to make young people more capitalist we need to make capitalism align more with the youth’s short-term self-interest!
We need to Make America Own Again!
We need to be a nation of homeowners, business owners, content owners, crypto-owners, and stockholders! Once the average young American has a greater stake in the economy then they’ll care more about its overall health and freedom since it’ll affect their own wallet.
There are numerous ways to increase American ownership, but what will have the greatest positive impact is deregulating the banks.
I know that’s an unpopular and uncommon opinion precisely because despite what we’ve been taught by the influence-industrial complex it would hurt, not help the 1%!
"It is no coincidence that the century of total war coincided with the century of central banking."
In simple terms, the federal government protects big banks from risk in order to encourage lending.
Ostensibly, politicians want to make lending easier because they’re so CARING AND COMPASSIONATE! People who couldn’t get a loan in the 80s can now take out a MASSIVE loan to go to college, get a medical treatment, start/invest in a business, buy a home, car, or even a TV.
The political pressure to make lending easier is strong in the swamp.
Corporations lobby for easy lending so they can make more “investments,” i.e. often stock-buy backs to further drive up their stock price, and so that their customers will also be able to afford more of their products. And the general public likes easy lending too because then they can get that thing they were told they needed NOW and therefore in-debt themselves further into the future.
And what inevitably happens with easy lending?
Prices go up and up and UP!
A buyer is no longer limited by his bank account, but by his appetite for debt!
We were taught to blame the big banks for the 2008 financial crash, in part, because academia is one of the greatest beneficiaries of easy lending.
But the truth is that the 2008 crash occurred because in the 90s politicians effectively forced big banks to give home mortgages to people who couldn’t afford it. Short-term this meant more poor people could buy their “own” home, i.e. the American Dream. But long-term it caused a massive housing bubble that the banks knew would eventually pop.
If the housing market was a genuine free market

3 VIS
3-visualization-exercises-to-boost
Visualization is a helpful exercise if you're feeling unmotivated.
It gave me a kick in the behind this morning. I explain in the video. I then intentionally used 3 visualization exercises to boost my motivation and help me focus on the things that truly matter.
Get your goals and actions in alignment!
3 VISUALIZATION EXERCISES TO BOOST MOTIVATION
1:25 1) Imagine Ideal Day
2:11 2) Imagine Most Likely Scenario
2:34 3) Imagine Worst Case Scenario
*Imagine each for 1-2 minutes. Find a quiet place, like a park bench :]
These three visualization exercises will boost your motivation because it gives us clarity of the bigger picture of what our priorities are.
Visualizing your future is a hopeful way to reverse engineer the steps you need to take to make that visualization is a reality.
Here are some visualization quotes not mentioned in the video to give you more motivation and success:
"Visualize this thing that you want, see it, feel it, believe in it. Make your mental blue print, and begin to build." - Robert Collier
"To accomplish great things we must first dream, then visualize, then plan... believe... act!" - Alfred A. Montapert
"Dare to visualize a world in which your most treasured dreams have become true." - Ralph Marston
"The harder you work... and visualize something, the luckier you get." -
Seal
"Make sure you visualize what you really want, not what someone else wants for you." - Jerry Gillies
"I think to visualize failure as you're starting off is really a bad thing to do." Marcia Gay Harden
Visualization Exercise Example:
- Where you wake up?
- Who you share house with?
- What's morning routine?
- Where do you go?
- What do you do?
- When do you come home?
- What do you do at home?
- What do you do before bed?
- What time do you go to bed and wake up?

30 DA
30-day-pomodoro-technique-challenge-tips
Here’s is how the pomodoro technique works:
1. Write down a task.
2. Set a timer for 25 minutes.
3. Work on task until it’s completed or the timer goes off.
4. When the timer goes off take a short break.
Traditionally you take a 5 minute break. I usually stretched in my seat or went to the bathroom or refilled my water and then started the next pomodoro.
Throughout the duration of this challenge I averaged between 10 - 20 pomodoros a day. How many pomodoros can you do in one day?
P.S. I counted 1 pomodoro as one 25 minute chunk.
The first 10 days I liked the challenge, the following 10 days I didn’t like the pomodoro technique, and the last 10 days I loved it.
By the end of the pomodoro challenge I was ready to recommend it to anyone in ear-shot, but something still didn't sit well with me.
I decided to start another 30 day pomodoro technique challenge, but increase the intensity by committing to at least 20 pomodoros a day.
I failed the challenge - repeatedly!
Here’s why I failed to complete 20 pomodoros a day for 30 days:
The pomodoro technique was great for when I was feeling unmotivated. It forced me to get out of my head and focus on the task at hand. It gave me a greater sense of progress in my workday.
But where the pomodoro technique fell short was in how tedious it became to do too many.
There were times where I would experience flow and I would forget to set the timer or I couldn’t commit to a full 25 min chunk of time because I had to go or I couldn’t be bothered with how many pomodoros something would take because I just wanted to get it done.
There was a big takeaway though!
Write down 1 todo at a time!
For the past 6 years I've been using a task management system to track all my todos, but this can become overwhelming.
So now what I do is write down 1 thing from that list at a time to keep me focused on what I should be working on.
I find this strategy offers a great balance between seeing the forest and the tree.

THE M
the-mind-of-a-cartel-hitman
Evil — born, possessed, or a neurological condition?
The more alarming truth seems to be that killers are created.
Such was the case with Rosalio Reta…
"I was going on 13 years old the first time I took a life.
One day I got invited to Mexico. I didn’t know what was going on at first and I see about 6 people kneeling down. Then the individual person in charge starts laughing and they saw the scared panic look in my face and asked if I had ever killed somebody. I said I had. Knowing that I had never took nobody’s life.
He pulled out a handgun. He told me to kill that person. The one kneeling in front of us.
I just shot him."
If you were 13 years old and a leader of the cartel was telling you to m*rder someone then you too would probably follow orders. Kill or be killed!
The cartel then proceeded to take Reta under their wing…
"And then he said he was going to put me on his payroll. He said don’t worry about it. Go back to school and whatever you’re doing and I’ll call you when I need you. 2 weeks later he called me back to Mexico."
Put yourself in Reta’s shoes. What choice did he have? No, Mr. Cartel man who I just witnessed slaughtering people in gleeful fashion I don’t want your money? No, Mr. Cartel man I don’t want to come back down to Mexico even though I believe you have “absolute control” over the Mexican border-town just over the bridge from where I live.
Once Reta traveled back down to Mexico he immediately began training. He didn’t choose the life so much as the life chose him. Still but a child, Reta’s mind was malleable…
The training I received… you don’t practice with paper targets. It’s a constant w*r-zone. You practice with live targets. I know it sounds harsh saying it this way. It’s just the way it is. The people we were using as targets was rival cartel members. There would be 50, 60, sometimes over 100 people, like cattle for a slaughter house, there’s scenarios, there’s a house. They say look if you can make it out of here alive we’ll give you your freedom.
These people here are fighting for their lives. They throw you in there.
You give a knife to a person in that situation and you’d be surprised what they can do with it.
Reta also learned how to torture…
Honestly I didn’t like that job, especially when it gets so bloody. I’ve done it before. Yes I have. I’ve done the simple stuff that everybody starts doing — pulling teeth out, cutting fingers up, slowly… {stops talking, looks down at floor}
If the cartel started giving you money, support, and friendship, especially at such a vulnerable and impressionable age, then you too would probably bite the bullet and remove fingers. As Reta’s then-girlfriend said,
He became close with Miguel Treviño (lead

BATMA
batman-vs.-teddy-roosevelt-how-to-be
Batman is my favorite fictional character; Teddy Roosevelt is my favorite non-fictional character.
Let’s pit them head-to-head!
Who’s more powerful?
Power: the ability to influence the course of events.
My little cousin would say Batman, but let’s compare.
Before Teddy Roosevelt was President of the United States, or even Governor of New York, he was in 1895 the New York City Police Commissioner.
He was commissioner at a time when the city lacked traffic lights, trains spewed coal overhead, top-hatted tycoons strutted along Fifth Avenue while immigrants slept in overcrowded tenements and armies of beggars and hookers took to the streets, late at night, with busy hands.
We’ll focus on Mr. Roosevelt’s time as New York City Police Commissioner because this is when he and Batman shared the same location (Gotham City is based on N.Y.C.) and goal: stopping crime.
“Far and away the best prize that life has to offer is the chance to work hard at work worth doing.” -T.R.
We could even imagine a young Bruce Wayne looking up to Teddy Roosevelt because of their remarkably similar lives.
Christopher Nolan partially based his version of Batman on Teddy Roosevelt. Roosevelt was born to wealth, worshiped his father, lost both his parents at a young age, disappeared for several years to remake himself (in the Montana badlands) and directed his grief into a force for good.
To determine who’s more powerful we therefore have to ask, “Who was more effective at achieving their goal of stopping crime?”
Batman stopped the Joker…
He stopped Bane…
And he stopped a host of other hoodlums, but to me it seemed like a fruitless exercise, because whenever he put someone behind bars someone else would inevitably break out.
This is because Gotham, like N.Y.C., had a systemic problem: corruption.
Bruce Wayne’s solution was to work outside the corrupt system, but Teddy Roosevelt’s solution was to work within it.
Like Batman, Teddy Roosevelt would take to the streets late at night in search of any wrongdoing.
Get action. Seize the moment. Man was never intended to become an oyster. -TR
Mr. Roosevelt’s equal enforcement of the laws for civilians and cops shook up the establishment.
Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far. — T.R.
Amongst his reforms, Roosevelt created the first police academy, appointed recruits based on physical and mental qualifications rather than party, and established Merit-Based Service Medals.
He also put telephones in police stations.
Police Officer #1: “To the Teddy signal!”
Police Officer #2: “Or we could just call him?”
“For the first time a moral purpose came into the street. In the light of it everything was transformed.“— Jacob Ris famous author of “How the Other Half Liv

THE G
the-gandhi-mindset-mahatma-gandhi's
This video explores the goals, values, and vows of Mahatma Gandhi so that we may follow in his footsteps by declaring our own personal independence.
Despite what people think, Mahatma Gandhi's main goal wasn't Indian independence.
His main goal was PERSONAL INDEPENDENCE and he saw Indian independence as a positive side-effect.
"Be the change you wish to see in the world." - Gandhi
We care what other people think because we consciously and subconsciously want things from other people: money, love, recognition, food, shelter, power.
But Mahatma Gandhi cared very little what other people thought PRECISELY because he wanted little from them.
He made and washed his own clothes. He cut his own hair (or lack thereof). He ate a very simple diet, often fasting to make a political point.
(mahatma gandhi story in english

worry less what other people think gandhi)
"I threw off dependence on the barber." - Gandhi
"The body always needs clean non-stimulating foods." - Gandhi
"I must reduce myself to zero." - Gandhi
"Morally I have no doubt that all self-denial is good for the soul." - Gandhi
Gandhi's goal wasn't to become closer to people (although he loved people), but to become closer to God.
He believed the way to become closer to God was by becoming evermore pure and independent.
"Independence of my conception means nothing less than the realization of the Kingdom of God within you and on this Earth." - Gandhi
He didn't worry about what other people thought because success purely depended upon his own resolve.
(mahatma gandhi story in english

In his pursuit of independence, Gandhi would permanently cast off one pleasurable thing after another…
"My life is based on disciplinary resolutions." - Gandhi
"I cannot live both after the flesh and the spirit." - Gandhi
He reduced temptation by making a vow to God.
"I realized that a vow, far from closing the door to real freedom, opened it." - Gandhi
Vows he made throughout his life:
Ahimsa: Nonviolence
Satya: Truth
Asteya: Non-Stealing
Brahmacharya: Self Discipline
Aparigraha: Non-Possession
Sharirshrama: Bread Labor
Aswada: Control of the Palate
Sarvatra Bhayavarjana: Fearlessness
Sarva Dharma Samantva: Equality of All Religions
Swadeshi: Use Locally Made Goods
Sparshbhavana: Remove Untouchability
Once Gandhi made a vow he never broke it.

OVERP
overpopulation-a-problem-a-look-into-the
There are four stages of the demographic transition…
Stage 1: Pre-transition: High birth rates and high death rates.
Stage 2: Early transition: Death rate begins to fall, as birth rates remain high.
Stage 3: Late transition: Birth rates start to decline.
Stage 4: Post-transition: Low birth and low death rates. Population growth is negligible, or even enters a decline.
As a nation modernizes it's population growth rate declines…
And as the world modernizes we can expect a similar result…
Therefore the problem isn’t overpopulation, but underdevelopment!
But in perceiving the future we must do so with a degree of humility because traditionally the experts have been wrong in their population growth predictions.
For example, in the 1900s the experts thought New York City would be overrun by death and disease due to the growing piles of horse poop, but then the car was invented.
Population growth is determined by incentives and incentives are determined by innovation and the future of innovation is hard to determine by the very fact it doesn't exist yet.
If you asked a person in 1819 to imagine 2019 they probably would have imagined a world of faster horses and better ploughs.
With that said, let me play the role of a humble futurist and imagine what innovations may come about that could bring on the dawn of a new transitionary stage.
But before we go forward in time let us go back...
In stages 1 and 2 parents were incentivized to have more children because they could put the kids to work at an early age on the farm or in a factory and because so many children died before adulthood it also made sense to have a lot of them this way a few of them would still be around to take care of their aging parents since there wasn't as much of a social safety net to do so.
In Stage 4 we see a drop in the population growth rate because children become more of an economic drain. Your average middle class child doesn’t become a productive member of society well into their 20s and even then the parents still see little to no economic benefit.
In the future though Anthony Galli believes the economic and social incentives will change again which could bring about a 5th stage.
Some have suggested that if there is a 5th stage it would best be represented by an ever declining population such as Germany is starting to show…
But in a few decades I believe we may start to see growth again in Germany and around the world!
In the future, material wealth will likely be more abundant. Everyone will be rich according to today's standards just as everyone today is rich according to historical standards.
In this super-rich society the driving procreation incentive will therefore not be "money", but "want".
The central question is... will the rich of tomor

"Don't say anything stupid, Anthony." And in my desire to be liked I'd say nothing at all.
Our desire to “fit in” is evolutionarily bred into us because if you didn’t, the pack would then abandon you to the lions and tigers and bears.
But in modern society, I think the more you can step away from the pack the better off you’ll be, i.e. taking the road less traveled.
1. GET MORE DONE
2. LIVE FREE
When you’re willing to be imperfect you can feel more comfortable in your own skin. No one was ever perfect.
So now that we agree that no one is perfect, the question becomes - how can you courageously embrace imperfection?

THE R
the-real-reason-for-joe-kennedy’s
The three main reasons I’ve heard in the media for Joe Kennedy III’s defeat: not a clear enough campaign message, didn’t go negative soon enough, didn’t go far enough left.
But those three reasons are weak because Kennedy started with a 10-point lead in the polls so the onus was on Markey to differentiate himself whereas Kennedy used the same message that his relatives John F. Kennedy and Ted Kennedy successfully used to win their senate seats, i.e. he would do “more for Massachusetts.” And then as to the other reasons, Joe Kennedy’s negativity most likely hurt him with progressives, which I’ll get into in a second, and then finally there was little ideological difference between Joe Kennedy and Edward Markey as they were both campaigning for “racial justice,” Medicare-for-All, and the Green New Deal.
The real reason for Joe Kennedy III’s defeat can best be encapsulated by a moment. 43 minutes into the last Massachusetts U.S. Senate Democratic Debate:
Senator Markey: All I want him to do is tell his father to stop spending money on negative commercials in Massachuettes in the era of Trump. We should all be positive with a big vision for where this country is going. Instead the Congressman is running a relentlessly negative campaign which I do not think is good for Massachuettes and he should tell his brother and his father to stop it.
Congressman Kennedy: Senator, if we’re going to… {pauses to collect thoughts}… Your campaign supporters have put out tweets, and bullied my supporters, and have put out tweets saying, ‘Lee Harvey got the wrong Kennedy.’ That, ‘Where is Lee Harvey Oswald?’ And not a word coming from you. Not a word! So cut the complaining about negative attacks!
Of course, Senator Markey quickly denounced those tweets and proceeded to point out the inconvenient fact that whoever said those mean things isn’t affiliated with his campaign, i.e. a staffer/volunteer/family.
Congressman Kennedy never named the user who sent those tweets so we can only conclude it was somebody with a stock icon and a username like JaneDoe53 or IAmNotARussianBot2342. But by invoking his great uncle’s assassination to try and score political points, it showed just how far Congressman Kennedy was willing to go to win.
Congressman Kennedy’s attack line was an unfair complaint because how could he reasonably expect Senator Markey to apologize every time one of 262 million Twitter users says something mean about him or his family? It’s also a poor excuse to say that so long as people say mean things on Twitter then Senator Markey can’t complain about his father and brother spending millions of dollars on negative attack ads via a Super PAC.
It’s difficult to imagine Congressman Kennedy genuinely being angry at Senator
