Joe Rogan - Can You Succeed Without Ego?

want people like that's what people are gonna think of you as what every post right like and then like I'm realizing because like I was broke last year this time I pretty much broke and now I have a good amount of money and it's I'm I'm realizing money doesn't make you happy materialistic things don't make you happy and I know everyone says that who is it what's Jim Carrey's quote like I wish everyone could be rich wants to realize that they don't want a rich and famous and famous yeah to realize doesn't make you happy because I have a lot of people like my little brother I was telling him trying to like get him don't want to pay him to help run my youtube channel I'm like he could make 60,000 others a year bah bah bah he's like oh that's not a lot that's not enough I'm like dude you could literally not have to work you know and be like help me when they YouTube yep do but I'm trying to get millionaires and it's just like that's not what makes you happy and I'm finding that out like out of young Adams like I'm understand like my ego is motivated by money I love money and I love just this whole fight game is just all about just I feel like I'm learning so much it's hard too hard to explain my brain and I'm still trying to figure out all this everything I'm learning I'm listening to so many podcast every day reading so many books every day and I can't really explain what my brain but try try to explain what you were your original thoughts so like you feel like what you're putting out on social media is the ego and what you really are like who you really are is something different well yeah I think just humans in general we're all at the core we're all just want love and compassion and so you want that from fighting fight like what makes me truly happy is training jiu-jitsu they're training in general eating healthy and being around people I love being on my dogs watering my flowers like that's what makes me happy that's what makes what kind of satisfaction do you get from fighting to show how the Lord works I was performing everything that little kid I've always trying to perform in front of whoever was around my if we ought to get together a family I was always being AB laut if not just try to perform and do something I love performing like that performing in front of huge crowds like he was saying the bigger the crowd the more people watching them the better I feel like I perform yeah I know when you start learning about that stuff and take mushrooms it really opens your brain yes other different pathways changes how you look like so yeah mushrooms are one of my favorite things I've ever done I've done mushrooms price five times and it's it's we're right right after right after a mushroom trip you feel you're so much more you realize everyone's going through [ __ ] like everyone is going through something makes you want to be nicer to people maybe kinder you know just and then I get four or five months later you start getting into your annulled ways and you had you do mushrooms again ya need a reset have you done DMT I have no I'm actually kind of scared of you damn teks I know like that that's what's hard with my ego like like even mushrooms have like they attack your ego almost kind of you know what I mean you know now we need that and I knew that you go to keep I don't know it's it's you need your ego right now so we said yeah we gotta know know Connors ego is huge Connor you need to have a big ego you need to have an ego just to do anything we are but is it the ego or do you need to have the desire to achieve excellence it is that always the ego can you do that without the self can you do that just as a task as a goal and be completely committed and single-minded in your approach to try to achieve excellence can you do that without the ego can you do it as a project can you do it as a task I think so I think you tend to but I don't can't you build this character that I want to build this person this persona but why do you want to build a persona because you see Connor do it no it's it's it's fun right this is it's the the whole fight game is like that it's just fun right like I don't plus I know if we built the persona the bigger checks are gonna come right yeah like I'm not trying to not be me like everything I do is Mia like I just I don't I enjoy trying to find a happy medium like a happy medium Michael wants podcasts a later in life and I'll explain more in my brain so much right now no us feel like it's overwhelming course man dude when I was your age I was a [ __ ] idiot you know you're way ahead of the game it's just a part of life it is you know five years from now you've been like back then I didn't know [ __ ] yes there's maybe five years lady but back then I didn't know [ __ ] the more you learn the more you realize you don't know maybe we get it out of our parents and stuff like come on please listen to me eat healthy like read books I'm like our parents didn't grow up with the internet like we're so lucky to be learn from you guys it's just impossible to change people's ways they have to want change they have to be motivated they have to it's it's so hard to change people it's like if you've ever had a friend that's been into drugs and it's been all [ __ ] up and you can't get him to quit or an alcoholic it is almost impossible to talk someone into changing they have to have some motivation that's internal yeah and that's the same thing with eating good the best example you could set is by living your life in a healthy way yeah [ __ ] yeah yeah that's one of the best things about the internet you get to see all these people that are doing things in a healthy way and doing things that are exciting and inspirational and then it makes you want to do stuff that's good it makes you want to take care of your body and makes you really want to concentrate on your mind and meditate and just really get everything in order yeah meditation so awesome it's really helping me every morning I meditate for 10 minutes and I feel like it's helping me throughout the day understand why certain thoughts are coming up whether it's from my childhood traumas or just anything just certain patterns my um cultural conditions thought patterns cultural conditioning just meditating 'he's helped me almost kind of slow my brain down and redirect my thoughts if i get angry or something or something covens understanding why I'm getting angry mm-hmm and I think and I'm so excited meditating I did it for the Terry on where if I did it for the honor fight and I would do it randomly or in camp I wouldn't do it all then now I'm doing it I want it to be a part of my life every morning I've been doing it for the last mile long do you do it for 10 minutes 10 minutes every morning and how do you do it well I I've been listening to Sam Harris um guided meditation there's an app called headspace that has a bunch of packages that whether it's stress anxiety sleep positive thinking I just I just do the guided meditations I have a little meditation room I go down there I first thing in the morning I get up I put the lemon in the sea salt I hydrate I go into my meditation room push play sit there 10 minutes meditate then I go outside water my flowers my morning routines my favorite thing I need a I wished everyone to have it set that morning routine because it's really like it sets you up for a good day it does I just don't have you I don't remember last time I had a bad day just morning routine sets me up for a good day I love it yeah I agree I agree in routine John Danaher won't wrote some really fascinating piece on his Instagram about routine about how important it is if you're a great athlete you say you find me a great athlete I'll find you someone whose life is governed by routine and that this is the way to check progress and this is the way to constantly be moving towards your goal and I remember reading that and I said to myself this is something that I've always known but never verbalized I never said it yeah but it's something that I've always known like yeah like everybody who's really good I remember I were at a Sports Illustrated article a long time ago about who's that [ __ ] track and field's guy who won the Olympics a bunch of times his name was something Moses I forget his name see if she could find this guy's name it was something but he was like an elite track and field guy and I what's up Edwin Edwin Moses he was a beast and just super super disciplined and I remember he had like this routine where he had his notebook and he would lay his notebook out and write down all of his different routes and he had this like map that he would lay down he would do his stretching routines and all this stuff and I remember thinking like oh this guy this is his thing he does this all the time he just gets there he locks in and he does this and this was many many years ago I might even still been fighting when this was going on so I remember thinking about it going okay like this kind of this is like what it elite performers do when they when they when they're at the Olympics you know track-and-field it's so [ __ ] boring you're doing the same [ __ ] just running like you have to have a mind that's made a steel to be able to do that same stupid [ __ ] every day to try to get an extra tenth of a second here or an eighth 30 seconds there [ __ ] all that right but I remember thinking like it was it - it was at the same time horrifying to me that someone would ever want to do the same stupid [ __ ] over and over again until they won a gold medal but at the same time massively impressive that this guy had this kind of iron will there it is every time Edwin Moses placed his feet on the blocks from 1977 in 1987 he won Moses arguably the best hurdler ever won 122 races including 107 consecutive finals and set world records in the 400 meter hurdles four times within that 10 year span his journey to the untouchable to this untouchable level was marked by personal innovation and determination proving that elite coaching and state of the art facilities are not required for supreme athletic success and it was I believe it was Sports Illustrated that had an article about this guy and remembers just seeing how motivated I was seeing him stretching and working out and and going over his routine and I was thinking to myself like I would think about it every time I worked out that like what would Moses do how would ya how would Moses like I got a start writing [ __ ] down I got to start really thinking about everything I do and I got to start putting it together on a daily basis like he does that's what Robert Falls his favorite formula would always say is consistency over time equals results was a favorite formula I got tattooed on there and it's funny cuz like once you get good at one thing you realize like [ __ ] I could get good at anything you know what it takes his [ __ ] consistency miyamoto musashi he wrote that in the book of five rings once you understand the way broadly you will see it in all things sweet yeah and that's a dude who fought people with a [ __ ] sword Oh God that's this guy that's him yeah well I read that book when I was like 15 or 16 or something like that he wrote it in the 1600s Matt Haley yeah maybe it was 1400s I think it was the 1400s now that I think about it
