Use Lust To Become Unstoppable ► Explained With Dark Souls

Have you ever woken up, grabbed your phone, and within minutes, you’re already scrolling through Instagram, Reddit, or even just gone straight to the hub? Before you’ve even stood up, your energy is gone. Your day is basically over before it even starts. I thought I was going to wake up and be productive, but instead, I was still in bed, drained, unmotivated, and disappointed in myself. But after playing Dark Souls 3, I realized something about my position in life, and

It helped me break away from those lustful habits. Lust is energy and if you know how to control it, you become a different beast. The problem wasn’t my discipline. The problem was how I was spending my energy. Mike Tyson didn’t have sex for 5 years at the peak of his career. He believed it made him a monster in the ring. More aggressive, more powerful, more unstoppable. He knew something that most men today don’t. And lust isn’t just a sexual thing either.

It’s what happens when you keep feeding an urge instead of mastering it. And Dark Souls shows us exactly where that path leads. Imagine two men are going to have a fight. They’re identical in every way. They’re clones of each other. But imagine that before their fight, one of the men had a big meal, like ate a lot of food and also had sex and was like satiated already. And then imagine that the other guy that’s going to be in the

Fight, he’s starving. He hasn’t eaten any food and he hasn’t had any sex. He’s on edge right now. Who do you think out of these two guys would be the winner of the fight? I would say that the one who is hungry and has a lot of pent up aggression and hasn’t gotten the the achievement yet, the satisfaction of what he wants to gain yet. I think he would win versus the guy who already has the win. He is already satiated. He’s

Already satisfied. He’s already full. That guy who’s already eaten and had sex, he’s already in a state of pleasure where the guy who hasn’t had sex or hasn’t eaten yet, the pleasure hasn’t come for him yet. All that’s inside of him is anticipation. I think this mirrors something that we see in Dark Souls. Aldrich began as a cleric, a holy man. But somewhere in his life, he developed a taste for actually eating people. He ate so many that he bloated

Like a drowned pig and then softened into sludge. And instead of stopping him, the world rewarded him. He became so powerful through devouring people that it gave him godle status. His cult-like followers fed him sacrifices. They built him a cathedral. They even made him a lord of cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. And the more Aldrich consumed, the less human he became until all that was left was his hunger for eating more and more people.

Many people would still oppose the ways of Aldrich. He knew there would be people who didn’t approve of a cannibal. But he had no worries because Aldrich would simply devour those who opposed him, even the gods. His cinders of a lord say Aldrich became a lord by devouring men, but was disillusioned with his throne and so took to devouring gods instead. So we have this person like Aldrich, right, who was basically enabled to grow bigger because whenever

He wanted something, he got it. And so what might have just started as like a small little urge was allowed to turn into something unforgivable, eating people and becoming this big gross monster all because he was allowed to keep asking for more and he kept getting more. He represents the man in the imaginary scenario I gave you. The man who had a lot of sex and food before his fight. Now I want you to imagine someone

Who does the opposite. A warrior kind of person who works toward an actual goal, not just motivated by more consumption. A person who might even starve themselves or set aside basic human needs like eating or drinking because they’re so hyperfixated on their goal so nothing else really matters. Think of Mike Tyson who abstained from sex in order to accumulate his energy to become the best. Muhammad Ali did the same. Nicola Tesla, one of the greatest inventors of all time, never pursued

Relationships or marriage. He believed his creative energy was too valuable to be wasted elsewhere. Leonardo da Vinci, known for his incredible work across multiple fields, practice extreme discipline, keeping himself from overindulgence and pleasure so he could focus on his genius. I’m not saying you need to isolate yourself or avoid relationships. I’m saying that these people understood that desire is fuel. Lust can be fuel and they just chose where to spend it. This isn’t about killing desire or lust. It’s about not

Letting it leak everywhere. In the case of Dark Souls, think about us as the player, the ashen one. Our goal is to link the fire, right? And in order to do that, we need to focus and do everything in our power to get stronger because we have a lot of powerful opponents in our way. Knowing this, we wouldn’t stop to hang out and flirt with the firekeeper. We just get what we need and keep going. We don’t let little urges distract us.

We keep moving toward our goal in any way we can. Whether it’s getting more souls to upgrade our stats or getting materials to upgrade our weapons or searching for a heavier armor set, everything helps us toward reaching our goal of linking the flame. We don’t even have time to think about little urges. We’re too busy. And that’s why when it comes time for the fight between us and Aldrich, it might be tough because Aldrich is strong, but we’re stronger

Because we have a soul of fire. Aldrich became strong, but his lust for power and cannibalism trapped him there. He stopped becoming anymore. His growing strength suddenly halted, and now he’s been stuck at the same power level for a while, not making any progress anymore, only decaying, if anything. We, on the other hand, will just use the souls we get from killing Aldrich to upgrade our character more. We got bigger fish to fry. And once I

Saw that pattern in Aldrich, I realized that it was the same pattern controlling me in real life, keeping me stuck in my bed in the morning, always regretting first thing in the morning because I always do the same thing, always reach for my phone, always end up doing that straight away. But now I know the pattern and I’m going to tell you because Aldrich isn’t just a boss in a game. He’s a pattern. And most people

Are living in that pattern without even realizing it. Most men don’t control their lust. They’re controlled by it. Not just sexually, but mentally. They wake up, check their phone, scroll, dopamine scroll, porn, social media, junk food, endless distraction, and at the end of the day, they feel tired, unmotivated, and empty. Not because they worked hard, but because they leaked all their energy. That’s like Aldrich, feeding every urge, getting stronger in the wrong way, consistently building the

Wrong habits, never actually becoming anything. But here’s the part most people get wrong. Lust is not your enemy. It’s one of the most powerful forces you have. That restless feeling in your chest, that urge to chase, to conquer, to create, that’s fuel. And the problem isn’t having it. The problem is spending it unconsciously. Aldrich didn’t end up the way he did because he desired. He ended up the way he did because he never chose with intention

When he’s going to consume, when he’s not going to consume. He just did it automatically. Always. It’s his default. It was just his automatic response to keep consuming. He keep eating more people, keep getting more powerful. And he thought that, you know, because eating people got me this powerful, so surely eating more people will get me more powerful, right? But at a certain point, he began to stagnate. And the more that you feed your desire,

Like the way that Aldrich did, the less hunger that you have left in your actual life. Every time you open your phone, something is designed to steal your attention. Dopamine, distraction, endless stimulation. A man who chases pleasure becomes a consumer. That’s why the strongest men don’t erase desire. They just aim it. Throughout history, high performers understood this. Sometimes on an extreme level, athletes, warriors, creators, inventors, they didn’t think sex or pleasure is evil. But they did know that energy is

Finite. Napoleon Hill talked about this in his book, Think and Grow Rich. He called it sexual transmutation, redirecting desire into focus, discipline, and creation. The same energy but in a different direction. This is why although maybe a little extreme, it kind of makes sense why Mike Tyson, like the same guy who has like a picture of cocaine on his nose, who probably knows a thing or two about overindulgence, also knew the importance of sexual energy and redirection. He didn’t have

Sex before his fights, not just to be cute, but for a reason. And that reason was sexual transmutation. Using that same energy that you get from your urges, feeling it inside of you and breathing it deep into your balls. And then using it to add power to your punches. Using your urges to give you a boost of energy instead of falling for it again and watching some adult videos on your phone and then feeling like an

Idiot and like energy drained. You can actually use it to your advantage. Using lust to your advantage is like buffing your sword in Dark Souls, like applying fire to your sword. It can be helpful. Now, we can actually start to be practical and use lust to our advantage so that we can become unstoppable. You don’t need to become a monk. You don’t need to isolate yourself. You don’t need to be a weirdo. You need intentionality. You don’t have to quit pleasure forever.

But you do have to stop indulging in it by default. The problem isn’t enjoyment. It’s automatic reaction. When you’re bored and you don’t know what else to do, your first instinct is to indulge in thoughts and start getting urges. But before you give into an urge or even just start thinking about an urge, ask yourself, am I choosing this or am I just reacting? If it’s a reaction, then pause. That pause is power. It’s the moment where you stop being controlled

And start deciding for yourself. That energy doesn’t disappear when you pause, though. It builds and he needs somewhere for it to go. Every man needs a transmutation outlet. A place where that restless drive can be turned into something real. Training or building a business, creating content, studying a difficult skill, writing, fighting, lifting. When the urge hits, you redirect it. Same energy, but a different outcome. Real discipline isn’t about saying never again. It’s about choosing to not yet. The ashen one

Doesn’t rest forever at the bonfire. He rests so he can keep moving forward. Pleasure becomes something you earn, not something you lean on. It stops being a crutch and starts becoming a reward. Instead of trying to control everything at once, focus on one thing that actually matters, one mission, ask yourself what you’re really trying to build right now and then align your energy toward that. If something drains your energy without moving you closer to that goal, that’s like Aldrich behavior.

That’s consumption without becoming. When the urge hits, don’t argue with it. Breathe deep. Name it and immediately redirect it into action. Push-ups, writing, anything. You’re not fighting lust. You’re steering it. Redirect it. Aldrich automatically kept consuming. Not by choice, but just because that’s what felt good. The path of least resistance for him. But the ashen one chose discipline and endurance. Did what was right instead of what was easy and felt good. One stopped becoming. the other kept going. Lust

Isn’t something to fear. It’s a weapon. And if you don’t use it properly, it will maybe end up using you. Lust is energy, and you either spend it on consumption like Aldrich, or you convert it into progress like the Ashen one. The difference between people who make progress and people who decay isn’t talent. It’s self-mastery. Now that you know more about lust and urges and you saw examples of people who can control their urges and can restrain themselves

Intentionally versus people who can’t and who just do it automatically because they don’t know anything else and they don’t even choose to do that themselves. It’s just done for them because it’s easy. The path of least resistance. you’ve seen examples of people both in real life and in Dark Souls. Just knowing more about it is setting you on the right path. Honestly, I’m not expecting this video to like be the epiphany like, “Wow, now I’ll finally

Stop doing the bad habit, which I already knew was bad.” But I just hope that this video puts things into perspective for you that, you know, at least, you know, like like am I choosing what I’m doing right now? Am I choosing to to actually act on this urge or is it just my default reaction? That’s what I want you to take away from this video. Are you choosing something for yourself? Is it made with intention,

The decision, or is it just by default? Do you just do your urges, just follow through with your urges because you’re bored? Do you just watch porn because you’re bored and you got nothing else to do? Well, then get something else to do. Get something better to do. Keep going. Just keep trying your best. And just have this in your head at least. Now, I really hope that this video can help someone. If you like Dark Souls and self-improvement, I
