HAVING A TUNNEL VISION APPROACH TO LIFE
In my last blog i talked about how limited focus we have. Why we should avoid decision fatigue and judge our activities on the basis of return of investment.
Today , I watched the UFC310 event , it was amazing i was worried for pantoja and Shavkat but thanks to their hard word and game they won their matches. While watching this event , I remember the words of dana white from the last post press conference i had watched and he said we don't do events in stadium cause it becomes an issue in the experience of people, That's why we choose arenas cause we can control the elements in the arena.
It was completely true , Earlier i used to think the bigger the crowd i can gather the better will it be for the brand, If i make any ever but watching the ufc events made me realise that the larger the crowd is the less you can control the experience of the people.
Even though the arenas only have a capacity of 17,000-20,000 or a bit more but they are closed and it gives a special opportunity to create a unique experience and you can control a lot more things.
While watching these events i also realised that some popular people are interested in it while some doesn't know anything about it all. I understand this now when i see things from my perspective cause i don't know shit about football other than the names RONALDO ,MESSI , NEYMAR ,MBAPPE and a few more and that's because Football is never in my focus I don't find it entertaining enough to watch in comparison to UFC , martial arts etc.
And that is the thing i have to understand about life , I should only focus on a few things in my life and not to care about every latest thing or trend. Cause i don't really give a fuck about who wins the grammy , oscars , golden boot, nobel prizes , modeling contest etc. I give a fuck about good music that i like , good movies that i enjoy , great innovators (like musk , tesla , steve jobs etc.) , and brands that have good clothes in which i will look awesome .
So , i got to have a tunnel vision approach to life where i only care about few things and don't give a damn about anything else. To give you an example joe rogan doesn't know about sidemen , big indian creators , cricket etc. and he is still successful the point that i am trying to make is , Whenever we heard about these big names , big controversies , big money , millions of subscribers a thought come to our head that we should give a fuck but you don't have to.
Whenever i hear some big name , company, person , event etc. My mind automatically says i should remember this it will help me in my life giving me a scenario in which i am having a conversation and i get help cause i am quoting this big thing and people find it relatable and i win that conversation.
That is a pretty stupid thing that my mind tells me because in reality this type of situation will never come and even if it did nobody like a generalist who knows and comments about everything.
I have seen on the JRE PODCAST that joe doesn't know a lot of things but he does know tough life , hard work , discipline , Martial arts , comedy etc. So whenever a conversation goes in this direction every guest listens to him carefully cause this is his shit and he is popular for it and he asks a lot of questions to people from people which is awesome.
Because that's just shows you don't have to know everything this is no late night tv show where you have to watch every tv show , read every book about the host or know all the latest things. This is a real life conversation in which you know some things and when you talk you ask about the things that you don't know , you're not a all knowing person you can never be .
You can never become the person who catches all the events in cricket , football , ufc , hollywood , geo politics , health , tech , comedy , youtube etc. You have to unemployed or a news reporter to be this person.
In essence , Pick a few things you like know some shit about those things cause you picked them and just have fun .
One weird thing also happened today , when i opened youtube and searched for sidemen , ksi the second time at dinner and they hadn't upload a new video on their channel i was just chill , i didn't open any previous video or just start watching it was like as if i was free from youtube addiction after binging the Lincoln lawyer series and not opening youtube for a day and a half and shifting to podcast.
So my few experiments worked i feel free from major youtube channels but still addicted to scrolling through web (youtube, x, podcasts etc.) while i am using washroom .
Last thing , i know i talked about finishing recording my 5 min video till the end but i feel like i should start the habit of 2 hr deep work instead of that and i am starting it tomorrow.
I also have some thoughts about the things from which i got triggered while using youtube and spend few hours thinking about that scenario from the perspective of a fucked up illiterate angry person. But while i thought that would be the first thing i will write about i realised this blog is my safe place and i write to be honest and i am getting angry for someone who isn't even angry for themselves and i am just thinking about this issue cause some bunch of fucking youtubers made multiple youtube videos to milk this and made money and bring growth to their channel.
Sorry , i started ranting all of a sudden but now i am good , in a nice place and ready to get after it .
SEE YOU TOMORROW !!!!
