You Are so Powerful, It’s Scary ► Dark Souls Mindset

Dark Souls made me realize that I can be good at anything. The only thing holding you back isn’t talent or luck. It’s whether you believe you can do it or not. Most people walk into challenges already defeated. Think about it like math class. If you walk into a math class and you have the belief that you can learn anything, you can learn the math. Then you’re already doing better than most of the people in the class,

Majority of the people in the class who think that they can’t do it. Who think that this is going to be so tough. I don’t know if I can do this. You’re already ahead of them if you just believe that you can already. Once you start believing that you can learn, everything changes. But I know if all you’ve had are failures, it’s hard to believe that you can actually win. It’s really hard to believe that you can do

Something when you’ve tried before and you failed. I remember back in school, like from elementary through to high school, I thought that I was just bad at math. And actually, if you saw my grades, I was bad at math. I was probably like the worst at math. If you think that you’re bad at math, like whatever you think, whatever whatever beliefs that you have about yourself, I’m worse and I feel worse about myself in math. I was actually the worst at

Math objectively compared to my friends and my classmates. I always got the worst grades on every test, every assignment. I’m not even I’m not trying to be funny. Like, out of everyone, I was the worst. For real. But the most recent math class that I took in college went differently. And honestly, it’s going to sound kind of dumb, but it’s because of this mindset that I learned from Dark Souls. It taught me how to be better. And I’ll explain how it did it

In just one second. Okay. I remember I saw the grade on the first test of the semester in college and it said 50%. And that that like 50% is like a high grade for me in math. And I thought to myself, I can’t let this happen again because the trend was going to be this is the highest I’m going to get and it’s just going to go down from there. I can’t let this happen again. And I

Didn’t. And I want to tell you how I didn’t let it happen again. I really genuinely believed myself that okay maybe I do suck at math but if I put enough time and practice in then I can do good because I knew myself you know I knew that in previous math classes like in high school, elementary, middle school I didn’t really like even if I was lying to myself I didn’t really give like as much as I could give. I didn’t

Put as much effort in as I possibly could have and this time I was going to do that. So I actually just started believing that I could do different and I did and I passed that class with an A+ which I did not see coming. I got an A+ in that class. I want to tell you how Dark Souls made me realize that I can be good at math and not just math either, but this is about anything. Think about

The times when you have been able to do something that you thought you couldn’t do. There must be something, right? Think about Dark Souls bosses. Think about how when you were trying to beat them, they were so tough. Like, I remember thinking to myself like, I wonder if I’ll actually ever beat this. Will I even be able to? How will I feel after I’ve beaten this guy? Sometimes it seemed like I’d never even be able to do

It. It’s like inconceivable. But then you beat it. And then if you play the game again and you get to the same boss, it’s like even though it’s damn tough, like the same way it was before, I know I can beat this now, so I’m just going to keep trying and doing whatever I can and I am going to beat him. This mentality starts to show in bosses that you’ve not even faced yet. You were able

To beat the last boss who was really hard. So even if the next one is harder, like I know I have it in me to do this I feel like I’ve already won and I’m just waiting and trying to get my win now. It’s already mine and it’s just a matter of time before I get it. I feel like we as people are actually so powerful, but we just think that we’re not. And so the things that we want to

Do don’t get done because we don’t even believe in ourselves. I know it’s cliche as hell, but if you can just believe that you actually can do it and like don’t lie to yourself and tell yourself like, “Yeah, I can do it.” But like actually know deep in your heart that like I can do this if I try. You know, if you can believe that, then anything is possible. You know that if you like this message, the message of

This video is believe in yourself. Anything is possible. It’s stupid. I know. But like for real though, listen to me for real. You not hearing me? Listen to me, man. It’s true. It’s true. Your beliefs in yourself and in your reality become your reality. So if you think you can’t do it, then you can’t. But if you think you can do it, then you can. Whether you think you can or you think you can’t, you’re right. So keep

That in mind when you think that you can’t do something. If you carried this belief into everything, then life would feel different. You’d stop freezing up before talking to people. You’d stop doubting yourself before doing anything. Every challenge would just feel like another boss. Pretty hard, but already beatable. And you know that whatever comes your way, if you try, then you can. If you put in the work, if you find the way to make it work for yourself,

There’s a way to make it work for yourself. But do you believe that though? Because I believe that. And that’s why I was able to get an A+ in my math class. You can do the things that you want to do. Even the ones that seem like impossible or like crazy or or like the the best case scenario, the ideal scenario that’s like like a dream scenario, you know, you can do all those things, but you actually have to believe

That you can do it. You can’t yourself deep inside. If you don’t think that you can actually do it, then that belief is going to cause you to stumble. It’s going to cause you to fail. You know, if you believe that you can do it, then you can do it. Your past wins become proof that you can face the next challenge. And actually, I would advise you to use this psychological fact to your advantage. Imagine that whatever it

Is you’re aiming for, you’ve already achieved it. You’ve already done it before. Imagine that the Dark Souls boss you’re fighting, you’ve already beat him, and this is just your fifth time playing the game again. Oh, this boss, this guy is easy. Oh my god. Your beliefs create your reality. Whether you think you can or you think you can’t, you’re right. Once you start believing in yourself, you’ll see that you’re more powerful than you ever thought. I want

To help you guys like as much as I possibly can. So, if there’s anything that I missed or you want me to talk about, then let me know in the comments. Like, please. Um, and if you like talking about Dark Souls and self-improvement and you want to talk about it more, then I just started a new community where people can, you know, talk about the same stuff as us, you know, people who all like the same Dark

Souls and self-improvement sort of thing. We can all come together and talk about like, you know, stuff that we like and new ideas and you can talk to me directly. We can make new video ideas together. I’ll also be posting raw unedited videos that don’t get posted onto the YouTube channel. And uh I think it’s it would be really fun and I think it’s a good idea and uh so if you’re interested in that then the link is

Below in the video description. Um I’m not forcing you. If you don’t want to then you don’t have to but it’s there if you want to join. Um yeah that’s everything. We’ll talk to you guys later.
