The Transformation Story
Meeting Sam
Jeffrey’s not sure if this self-improvement thing is actually going to work for him… he wants to be on nofap but he can only manage a few days at a time before he relapses again. Clearly, this isn’t going to work. Meditation?
Nah, I don’t think it’ll work. Journaling? No. Exercise? Yeah, like I went to the gym… two to go scrolling on Instagram? Yes, please. Watching motivational videos on YouTube? Sure, but in three times when he’s reset his streak because, you know, it’s already at zero, so you may as well go again, yeah? Why not? He’s doing all of the bad habits, he doesn’t feel motivated to do anything, and perhaps that’s just because he’s fried his dopamine receptors.
Adonis, on the other hand, started his self-improvement journey young. Years of good habits developed Adonis to be the kind of man that we would aspire to be because just look at him – he looks amazing, he feels amazing, his life is amazing, and it has all come from self-improvement.
In this video, I’m not going to tell you about my story. I’m going to tell you about the story of Sam, who was my first video editor for this channel. We have five video editors now. I hired him in December 2020,
Sam was a Jeffrey when I hired him – I promise you that this is the truth, and I don’t even say this to be insulting to him. He was a full-time live streamer on Twitch, which meant that he was playing video games for around 12 hours a day, four, five, six times a week. Imagine that, bro! He was live streaming on Twitch, playing video games for honestly like, I checked sometimes, he had like eight viewers for eight viewers for literally about 12 hours a day, alright?
Sam’s Journey with Self-Improvement
Starting to Exercise
The first part of self-improvement that we got Sam onto was exercising, and I remember that he didn’t even have the confidence to go to the gym. Like, he just did it – it was impossible for him to go to the gym. He had intense social anxiety, so he couldn’t even step outside of his house. So he was literally doing like these shitty home workouts: push-ups with his knees on the floor, negative pull-ups like when you can’t even do a pull-up, so you have to step on a chair first and already cheat your way there, and then you just kind of like fall down, and that gives you like a little bit of the gains.
I had Sam doing this kind of workout for a couple of months, and we got closer and closer, hopping onto like video calls and eventually becoming quite good friends. He became kind of like my right-hand man in this entire YouTube channel, this movement. He’s the guy that I go to to help me make decisions, and he really proved himself to me. So we spent more and more time together.
Overcoming Social Anxiety
Eventually, Sam got more and more confident because he was on self-improvement. He was working out a little bit, and he signed up to a gym nearby, which was a huge step for him because he literally wasn’t leaving his house before then. My boy’s first gym session is down on the stack! I don’t want to give me a better workout: the machines or my anxiety? But either way, feels great, man! I wanted to go to the gym since I was 13. I’m quite old enough to go then, and by the time I was old enough, I was crippled with stuff. But I did it, I did it!
Like, literally, seriously, he was already past the age of school and everything. He was staying inside of his house every day, and so him signing up to the gym and going to the gym was like a big thing. I literally remember needing to like prep him for this, to teach him like, okay, this is what you do in the gym: you go there, you get onto this machine, you do this, you make sure you wipe your sweat that I’ll teach you them like the social mannerisms of like how to be outside. You have to learn this bro!
He got consistent in the gym, he made some friends there, started practicing his social skills that he was learning from my videos, and I would tell him, yeah, just try and speak to someone in the gym, you know? Just like, just ask them how many sets they’ve got left. And slowly and surely, he started getting more popular. He made some friends, he started going out to like clubs and parties and stuff and, you know, doing some like sort of degenerate habits, but then he even gave all that up, became so much more productive, more work-focused, eating cleaner, reading, reaching more levels of success.
Traveling and Building Confidence
And then he took a big step by my side – he took his first-ever plane flight at the age of 22. Me and him flew out to Amsterdam, and we threw out a bunch of our team members, and we met up there to celebrate. I booked out a penthouse for our team, and that was a big move for him to literally take a plane. We had a sick time there. He’s developing more and more confidence, he’s getting way more into like weightlifting, really wanting to build physique.
And then we take even a bigger trip to Thailand all the way across the world, and I remember that that was such a big PR for him that he literally broke down multiple times just on the flight and everything. I literally saw him like just seeming so like empty and like shelled up because we just took the biggest flight of his life and even of mine, 12 hours away.
But in Thailand, he started getting more confident, training Muay Thai, even attracting girls. We met with the guys Jack and Bill that Sam really bonded with. We’ve come back home from Thailand, and since then, about three months ago, because I was been putting in the grind…
The reason why I’m telling you this story is because I want you to imagine this before and after. Before is a man, a boy, 21 years old, live streaming video games for 12 hours a day on Twitch to eight viewers, intense social anxiety, not going outside, just skinny as, depressed, clinically depressed. And I forgot to mention actually that sometime near the start of this year, Sam’s clinical depression was cured, and he no longer needed antidepressants anymore because he was now on self-improvement and actually living like how you’re supposed to live.
Till the after, where he’s in shape, he’s in fantastic shape actually, working hard, he doesn’t play video games at all anymore, and he actually quite is like against them the same way that I am because he’s realized how much of a hook they had over him. He’s becoming successful, he’s became a man. I put him through the rite of passage myself.
I literally baptized him like I took him to a waterfall in Thailand. We did this incredibly hard like journey, and I literally baptized Sam underneath water and told him that you’re a man now. We’re gonna baptize him, God. Jack, you baptize him, baptized him! [Applause] Bananas! Oh, you’re right. You’re about now what’s the passage?
I know it was only like, you know, it was just goofy like, you know, you and your friend next to the waterfall that you grab his skull and put it into the water, and I was just like, oh, you’re a man now. But like, it was true – he legally turned into a man when he was 18 years old, but he actually turned into a man in the last one year being on self-improvement.
The Importance of Self-Improvement for Men
Men as the Warrior Class
There are so many guys who are just shut indoors, feeling hopeless, feeling like they can’t really get out of the the ruts that they’re in. Nothing really seems to be enjoyable – it’s this feeling of this Bleak, dark, gray, depressive, nihilistic just emptiness, purposelessness, no real enjoyment, only stimulation. And so many guys can relate to that.
You see, the modern world has really really over men, younger men particularly. And it’s time that you get a reminder, perhaps this may be one of the first times you’ve been told this – it’s time that you get reminded that you are part of the warrior class.
Do you know in like Finance, money, there’s always like working class, business class, upper class? There’s a class that isn’t really spoke about, and that is the warrior class. It is you, younger you.
See, younger men are the most powerful of any generation. Young men are what cause revolutions and Wars. Young men are what cause buildings to be built. Perhaps it’s sexist, but maybe it’s just factual: when you drive on a big Motorway, 100% of the people who made this Motorway are men. When you see a big building, 100% of the builders are men. This is not downplaying women or saying that there, but I’m not talking about women – we’re just hyping up men right now because it’s time that you got hyped up, and you realized, and you actually heard from maybe the first time in so long, of the potential that you have.
Young men are the strongest people of humanity. The amount of potential that you have to change your life, and it’s so sad to see that potential being wasted. It’s so sad to see that potential being manipulated and stolen from you by these evil companies that want to just sap your attention into them: porn, porn, imagine how evil that company of PornHub is, Facebook, meta, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok. They know what they’re doing. They know that they have your life. They know that they have your brother’s life. They have your male friend’s life.
The Manipulation by Evil Companies
Only fans – chances are, if you’re watching me intently right now, you want to improve, you want to experience a better life. You don’t just want to give up, but you just don’t really know what to do or how to do it to actually make real progress because you’ve been told this before. You’ve been told to maybe take a break from video games, to maybe stop watching porn, to maybe go to the gym and eat cleaner Foods. You’ve been told that, but for some reason, you just can’t really seem to do it.
You might have a feeling that you’re supposed to stay stuck like this. Wrong! Go and look at the comments of any one of my videos. I urge you to do this now: you can pause this video, go and look at the comments underneath this video, go onto my channel on like 10 different videos, go and look at the comments. You will see something very different from any other YouTube channel.
Comments from the Self-Improvement Movement
The majority of comments are people literally saying, “Hamza, you’ve saved my life. I was gonna kill myself, your videos have saved my life. I’m 13 years old, and I’ve had a porn addiction for three years, and I’ve cured it now because I’ve been watching your videos.”
Hamza, our generation of young men have felt so hopeless, so nihilistic, so depressed, so stuck like this for so long till now because we know what cures all of these problems. We know what fixes depression. We know what gets a young man out of a rot and actually being productive. We know what causes a young man to get this Burning Desire inside of him where he thinks, I want to take some responsibility for my life, make some money, help my family, and actually experience like a good life. It’s self-improvement: improving yourself in as many ways as possible, especially your mental health.
The Path to Curing Depression
Living an Unnatural Lifestyle
It took Sam less than six months to cure his depression that he thought he was going to have for life. Why was he depressed? They don’t want me to tell you about this, bro. I might get canceled for this because I’m telling you like, oh, maybe depression’s not like I’m not being under 10 saying depression it’s not real. I think it is real, but I think people think that it’s something that they’re just supposed to be stuck with, and they don’t realize like this is so condescending, but you’ll only kind of believe this when you’ve experienced it yourself.
The reason why you’re depressed is just because you don’t live like a normal, healthy human being. How could you not be depressed when you wake up and just stare at your phone? How could you not be depressed when you masturbate five times a day, three times a day, every single day for years? You’re convincing your brain and your body and your soul that you’re getting laid, that you’re experiencing love and intimacy, and every single day you keep waking up alone.
How could you not be depressed? How could you not be depressed when you go onto Instagram and you see people who are better than you? How could you not be depressed when you see a bleak future ahead with a career that isn’t part of your purpose? How could you not be depressed when you’re like 20 years old, and at this point, every man in your bloodline has had children apart from you?
How could you not be depressed when 70, 80, 90% of men have literally no love, no intimacy, no affection in their lives? How could you not be depressed when the last time you climbed a tree was 10 years ago?
How could you not be depressed when you don’t jump over a puddle, when you don’t jump in the puddle like you used to as a child, when the things that we do for fun these days are literally just staring into our phones, whereas we used to go out as children and play for football and run on our bikes and push each other into mud, and we don’t do that anymore because, you know, it’s inappropriate for an adult to be acting that way?
I don’t mean to be condescending, bro, but honestly, you want to cure your depression in 20 minutes? Go outside and climb a tree and go as high as you possibly can, and I guarantee you will have the biggest smile on your face. And you know why you don’t hear advice like this? Because no one gets the profit from it – no YouTube company, no influence against a profit from you meditating and improving your mental health and going outside and actually acting like you’re supposed to.
Being amongst nature – is it any surprise where the majority of us feel so bad because of the way that we live? You know, so many young men out there are feeling so hopeless.
Delaying Gratification for a Better Future
Remember that we’ve done all these bad habits for years and years and years and years. Self-improvement will counteract that within two months Max, within two weeks you will see a significant Improvement to your life. Self-improvement is all about delaying gratification, doing the hard thing now so that our life is better in the future, exercising now so that we’re more fit in the future, eating clean now even though that meal doesn’t taste as nice because it’s healthy because it’s not as pleasurable, but your life gets better in the future.
You keep doing all of these good habits that make your future life better, and eventually, it is the future. Eventually, you become your future self, and all you can do is stand there with a 10 out of 10 physique, with your girlfriend that you love by your side, and you just have this sense of self-love thinking, “My younger self-sacrificed for me.”
Sacrificing for Your Future Self
The Contrast between Past and Future Selves
I sit before you today as a guy who’s built his dream physique, my dream life, digital nomad, successful – all these good things I could say about myself. I’ve achieved my dream life, of course, there’s more to go. The reason why I’ve achieved this is not because I’ve done anything. I didn’t do anything, my younger self sacrificed for me.
How could I not be so excited? How could I not have so much self-love if my younger self sacrificed and delayed gratification for me? But on the other hand, how could you not feel like total, how could you not be depressed, because your younger self took from you? He sacrificed you for his pleasure.
Your younger self ate that junk food knowing that you would have extra body fat. Your younger self masturbated knowing that you would feel more shame. Your younger self played thousands of hours of video games knowing that you would have less success in your life, lower grades. How could you not be depressed? How could you not be nihilistic? How could you not have this sense of self-hatred when your younger self took from you?
Making Your Future Self Proud
Will your future self, the man that you’ll become a year from now, two years from now, be thinking the same thing about you? Think about this, think of about your 2023, 2024 you know the year 2024 two years from now, think about that version of yourself. Is he thinking about you and thinking that you’re an? Is he thinking about you and thinking you stop it, please, because you know exactly what it is that you need to do?
And if you don’t do the right things, your future self is gonna hate you. Your future self is going to think about you today just like you do with your younger self, and you wish your younger self just studied a little bit harder and stopped eating that junk food and stop taking those drugs.
If your future self is going to think the same thing about you, bro, time to change. Time to get fed up, time to get like annoyed, pissed off, aggressive, angry at Living this way. You should have fear that your future self is gonna feel this way about you. You should do everything you can, whatever pops into your mind, any ideas that you get to set up your future self to have a better life.
What could you do? What sacrifices could you make today that your future self is gonna look back at you and think, “Thank you, I can’t believe you did that for me”?
Personal Experience and Transformation
I went through a lot, bro. I struggled a lot. I had really bad mental health for most of my life, especially 17, 18, 19 years old. I went through some traumatic stuff. I had experienced child abuse from my parents. I got attacked by a racist who tried to stab me. I went through some like bad stuff, bro.
I was addicted to weed – people say you can’t be addicted to weed, bro, I was. I was eating junk food, bingeing on everything. I hated my life, and I remember this moment, like the one thing I was doing productive was just going to the gym. But even I stopped that.
I remember this moment just looking at myself in the mirror and just thinking like, “What the?” The one thing I had going for me was my physique, and I’ve started to ruin it because I’m just eating junk food. And I started to get this feeling of like hatred towards myself over, you know, the actions that I’d taken over the last three, six, nine months.
And something just clicked. I just got interested in this concept of thinking, “Wait, I hate my younger self right now because he sacrificed me, but what if I sacrifice myself for my future self? My younger self sacrificed me because he wanted to eat that junk food, what if I eat healthy and sacrifice pleasure today for my future self so that he can have a six-pack?” And that’s exactly what I did. That’s exactly what Sam did. That’s exactly what you would go on to do.
You have inside of you Warrior blood – for you to be alive today, bro, you, your ancestors were badass. That means that you have the genetic capability to be badass, to achieve success, to work hard, to dominate. Your future self is just waiting for you today to tap into that.
Join the Self-Improvement Movement
And it’s not going to be easy. You’re not just suddenly going to get consistent in going to the gym or meditating, eating clean, you know? You’re just not just suddenly going to start doing it every single day. You could try to go into the gym right now, maybe you’ll go for two days, and then you’ll take like three days off. You could try getting on nofap right now, maybe you’ll do it for two days, and you’ll say like a week off – that’s normal.
But if you stay on this path, and you keep sacrificing for your future self, you’re gonna get closer and closer to that ideal place, which is just extreme consistency of all the good habits you want your future self to be proud of you.
So just ask yourself this: when you go about your day, just ask yourself, “What can I do that would make my future self grateful for me?” And also, if you’ve got the gut, the balls to do this, also go about your day saying, “If I do this thing that I feel like doing that I have this craving for, like video games, porn, drugs, junk food, how will my future self feel about me? If he’s gonna feel shame, guilt, let down, I’m not gonna do that to him.”
