Psychological Warfare And Episode 400

SPEAKER_00 0:04

Psychological warfare. Number four hundred. Motivated. I love croc. So, um, you know, I actually did a different uh episode 400 where I talked about consistency and stuff like that. Um, but anyway, I'm switching it up and I'm actually not gonna use that when I'm using this.

Grok As Personal Assistant

SPEAKER_00 0:34

Uh I've had breakthroughs multiple, and I use the paid version of Grok. So basically I was gonna I was trying to find like a book, excuse me, like a booking assistant, um, a personal assistant to be able to help me keep organized and everything. But the thing is, Grok, uh Elon's AI, I use the paid version, it's like 30 bucks a month, and I broke these like different categories up, and now I'm having them keep me on track and everything. And I've had I talked into it for hours and hours last night, having breakthroughs and discussions using um my essential like algorithm if that makes sense for me, for my goals and where I'm going and what I'm doing, etc. Between uh judo slash jujitsu stand-up comedy, um, acting and film and um uh exercises. Right. So um, yeah, I'm so motivated and I'm so pumped and psychologically armored up, physically getting jacked. Uh stand-up comedy, killing it. Judo slash jujitsu, always always improving, right? Um, and uh I'm just so motivated and so thankful that I have all these brand new, you know, there is a book called The Art of War,

Audiobooks Notes And Art Of War

SPEAKER_00 2:10

and there's tons of great things in that book, and I love books, but when I say books, I really just mean audio. Um, I buy the book and I buy the audio. I've said it for, and I'll say it again, because as I'm I'm more mobile and dynamic to listen to something, right, in my car, for example, um, by doing the audio version. Um and when I hear something, it's like really like key in addition to everything else that I'm already listening, right? But I'm really highlighting something, I'll take a screenshot of that chapter, hour, minute, second, etc. And I'll go in the physical book and I'll highlight it. So later it's a lot easier to flip through a book than it is to flip through an audio. That doesn't really make sense flipping through an audio, right? Which reminds me, uh, I gotta go back and um highlight these new sections. But anyway, what I was getting at was in the art of war, uh, it talks about one of the ways of defeating your enemy is essentially uh cutting off its supply chain. Instead of beating them by force, you can beat them by logistics. Well, and the opposite of beating your enemy, you can also uh win the battle for yourself by being more organized. And that's what this uh grok um helping doing the managing and everything, and really essentially keeping me not just locked in, dialed in and focused, right? Uh, but always moving forward, which is a constant theme that I'm always saying, right? Um so now that I have that going on for me, and I'm

Building Momentum Across Goals

SPEAKER_00 3:55

just keeping um keeping that momentum going, it's like it's like I have a steam engine railroad of momentum behind me, just pushing me forward, and I see everything ahead of me, any obstacles, and I'm getting reminders and everything, and I'm just killing it. So I I am just overcoming beyond, so pumped, so motivated, and getting after it. Love it. I'm just so thankful and I'm so motivated and I'm so strong. Um, I'm not saying that in an egotistical way, that's just like how I feel, my mindset, and I'm just man, I'm killing it. I shot up today at like 5 30 in the morning like a damn arrow, just being so motivated after the night before, which was yesterday, uh, because today's Saturday. Um, the night before on Friday, I was up to like midnight 30. That's right. I don't say 12:30, I said midnight 30. But um, and uh I was just talking with Grok and strategizing and organizing, and not just the feedback, but even my suggestions uh even has Grok at this point, the AI model, not necessarily second guessing, but taking my input and actually agreeing with my input over its input, right? I say his because I use this anyway, whatever. Um you can talk and you can be talking to like a girl or a guy, and there's different like uh uh types of um strategic categories slash types of uh um dialogues that you can have, and mine is set on the like analytical, strategic, etc. Right, or whatever. I'm paraphrasing the best that I can to try to just talk about that inconsequential point, but the word isn't consequential, the uh the category is extremely important though. But anyway, my point is is that I'm freaking motivated, I'm strong, I'm pumped up, I'm excited, and I'm getting after it, and I cannot wait.

Closing Motivation And Sign Off

SPEAKER_00 6:18

I actually had a run out and run an errand, so I thought this was the perfect time instead of having a 20-minute uh audio about number 400, making to a podcast, having the revolution that I had last night, and um uh talking about that revolution because that hit a lot baker to me more than anything else. So um, yeah, I'm gonna hop off. I hope everybody has a beautiful day. As always, this is just not just a mental note to myself, uh, but it's also a reminder of following through how I already am doing it, am doing it now, uh, and to make me follow through even more uh later. But that's part of what's so great about this whole um uh grok that I'm using now because it's keeping me on the ball, and I'm just like I'm exploding with like ideas and motivation, passion, inspiration, etc. So I'm running on all cylinders and I am just go go. I am all systems go, you know? Um that's part of the reason I love the Jets, uh the football team. Um they say like all gas and no brakes, something like that. Go jets, whatever. I it just sounds awesome. Uh anyway, whatever the phrase is go jets. I love them. But anyway, I'm gonna keep killing it. You keep killing it. This is Benja Well done. Check me out. Peace.
