We got so much positive feedback about this clip that we wanted to share with you why it's so good. Sometimes we have troubles with accountability for our behaviours. Sometimes it's hard to keep our goals and values.
So what does Joe Rogan recommend? He says to imagine that there's a documentary crew filming your life. This idea reminds me of another saying about accountability to yourself. Imagine that everything you did today was on the newspaper front page that your grandmother reads.

Transcript of Joe Rogan
I think a lot of people say, Oh, I just want to sorta, they're kind of dabbling in the idea of improving themselves, and the real way to do it is you've got, gotta write down what the fuck you want and then go after it.
Cause otherwise, you live in a sort of a wishy-washy world. You know, if you decide I'm going to get down to bang, I'm going to do this. I'm going to run a marathon in less than five hours. I'm going to, you know, where the fuck it is. You got to write that shit down and go for it. What I tell people is the best advice I've ever heard.
Is it living your life? Like you're the hero in your movie. And right now is when the fucking movie stars and your life is a shitbag disaster. Like every fucking Arnold sports nigger move, where he wakes up and makes a blender full of pizza and ice cream. And those guys were like on the break, they put the gun in their mouth, and they put it down to see a photo of their daughter.
Pretend that's you pretend you are right now, [00:32:00] you're in the part of the movie that starts, and it shows you as a fucking loser. And just to sign that to be a loser anymore,
Live your life like there's a documentary crew following you around, and you are analyzing your own behaviour to what you would want to do so that your kids one day would look back at it and see that documentary and look at it with pride.
Like, wow. My dad was a bad motherfucker. He really did what he had to do. Wow. My mom really got her shit together. I'd love to. A success story, but even more than a success story; I like a dude who fucks his life up and then gets it back together. Again, story. Those are my favourite stories. And the way to do that, you got to write shit down.
You got to think that you are the hero in your fucking movie, and then you get to sit down, and you got to write shit down, write down what you need to do. Yeah, this life is fucking me over, man. I could have had this, and I should have had that. And why does this guy get that? And why does that guy get this and all things that are entirely unrelated to you, all things that you find other people's successes, a downfall in your existence, instead of being inspired, instead of choosing to be positive, instead of like constantly improving on the direction of trying to achieve whatever the fuck you have written down.
You sit around and spiral. There's nothing more miserable than sitting around. Someone's fucking complaining all the time. It was one of the most annoying things ever. Everybody hates it when someone sits around, and they complain about their life, and they don't do Jack shit about it. And you tiptoe around it.
You don't know what to say. Well, she gets upset when you bring that up. I don't want to bring that up, and you want to go, you've fucking crazy bitch. You know, what's wrong with your life. Stop, stop. Announcing it to everybody else and going out and fixing that shit.
