Hello this is Hassan
I am 18y/o from Egypt and one of the things I am grateful for is watching Leo early on in my life
I am inspired by the idea of becoming a hero
I also don't mean a hero like I am saving everyone and that bs I mean becoming the best version of myself which in turn will make everyone around me have a better life by me influencing them and giving them a happy and fulfilled life
you can call it self actualized, alpha male, hero, king, champion
So I tried to develop a hero version of myself when I was 17 seeing myself with my wife and seeing myself carrying my daughter and son
seeing myself as an athlete and a self mastered I even imagined my friends around me becoming heroes and training with me in the gym
Back then I was addicted, Loser, Overweight
That all was just ideas in my head
I was depressed and I just kept on trying to wake up early and quit my addiction it has been 2 years already
And I was going to the gym seeing no results
However, giving up was not an option
I tried everything And I did everything I can and I built all the other habits and I myself got so much power
And finally, I watched Leo's videos about addictions after I watched his channel
I did this future projection method and I literally saw the opposite version of my dark version
Not just a loser but a complete useless being that hurt everyone around him instead of a hero my addiction would've made me a devil
That was a fire inside of me, I even made a fight inside of me and every day I would say I am gonna win this
The battle was basically my hero version against my Devil self
Every time I felt down I just gained more power to come back stronger
After I watched Leo's video about burning my inner demons and getting the strength of every temptation I resisted
I just woke up to 1 thing
I already had the power since I was born to become a hero
I Just resisted it by being addicted to losing
Every time my devil would dare to knock on my door I would burn him
Just had to let it burn in my body and I literally felt the desires me burning
but however What I had pictured in my mind is, That desire is your demon putting himself on fire to burn you
The more you Resist that fire the weaker he gets
until he turns to dust and what is left is you, The true hero that you have always been but your devils made you blind to how truly powerful you are
I had a near-death experience, the doctor said that my lower back pain could be something dangerous That could kill me in 3 days
I had only 1 desire and it was to stay alive and make my dreams come true before I die, I couldn't picture that everything I had ever dreamed of was going to die with me, and all the people I wanted to make happy would be sad And I couldn't give them anything before I die
However, after 3 days of praying, the pain has got better and the doctor said it was just a tense muscle because you lift something heavy
And you can imagine what Life feels like
I decided for 5months I would quit everything, and I would do nothing but build the hero version of me and to quit youtube, Facebook, and all addictions and since then I had this power, Not just power but a Vision of life
even my day was from 5:00 AM to 10:00 PM working and reading and working out and I had no friends (that is where I am at now)
I feel this beautiful sense of living
Seeing my body getting in shape, seeing myself getting a lot of knowledge, and inspiring myself
All of a sudden it seems like I am becoming who I was
The Hero that I always was
You don't have to get near-death experience Just take this advice from your young/older brother (Summary)
1-Meditate
2-Sleep with the wish to wake up and Achieve your dreams(a lot of people don't wake up)
3-When you wake up Write your goals on paper without copying them as if you were just reborn
4-Do future projection
5-Ask yourself the question, What would happen if My hero version died and my devil version took over (how much would it hurt me and my family and the people who I wanted to be happy)
6-Ask yourself the question Who would win the battle in my head today (got this one from a book)
This was not to talk about myself it was to ask you guys something
I could do everything as far as I know except one thing
Being able to make my friends Change their life for the better
How do you influence people and set a fire in their hearts that can kill their inner demons?
In the end, I don't want to be that hard-working and see all my friends live a miserable life
But I refuse to think that People around me can't change
just really brainstorming this, How would you become a hero is easy but how do you make an army of heroes?
