Yo, yo, yo, what is going on everyone? Isaac Mashman here. You are now listening to episode 29 of Chase the Vision with Isaac Mashman, guys. If you cannot tell already, I have an immense amount of energy for today's episode, and I have a lot of things to get off of my chest. This isn't going to be a rant, but this is going to be an episode filled with a ton of value. Now, this episode was originally going to be talking about why it is important to always be taking action regardless of what your past has been like, regardless of past habits of procrastination. But that is going to be a future episode, just because I have a lot of things that have been on my mind that I think you guys need to hear.
I don't think, actually, I know you guys need to hear [it]. Now, there has been a lot of chaos going on in society over the past couple of months, over the past month especially. 2020's been a wild year. It has been a year filled with a lot of challenges, a lot of hardship, a lot of issues. I don't know if it's going to get better for the rest of this year as a whole. I don't know if society is going to get better. I highly doubt that it will get better, to be honest, and that is coming from a person who is normally optimistic. But you have to understand why a lot of these issues and a lot of these things are happening.
It is the energy. The energy for this year is so chaotic and is so horrible. It's just attracting more and more and more things, and a lot of things are coming to light.
I'm not some super spiritual guy who talks about horoscopes and who talks about astrology and all that crap, but there is a level and a degree of truth behind the energy. Chaos follows chaotic energy. Negative energy attracts more negative energy because of the mind state that people are in. Society as a whole is in a negative mind state. Most people have already discounted 2020, yet there are still six months left in 2020. How crazy is that? We have already given up on the 180 days left in this year to make it great. As a whole, most people are in a sheep mindset, a sheep mentality.
I don't say that in a disrespectful way, but society as a whole has programmed us to follow wherever the masses go without even thinking about it.
We do not question who we are following, why we are following, or why we are following the movements that we stand behind. This isn't about politics. This isn't about left or right wing believers or political viewpoints. This isn't about religion. This isn't about any of that. White, black, green, purple, I don't care what color you are. This stands with every single aspect of life. We have to start thinking for ourselves, guys. This is the podcast title. Think for yourself. I'm going to be a little bit more original than that, but that is the topic of today's episode. It's crazy and it's sad and it's disgusting that just because the masses go somewhere, or just because a celebrity tweets something, we automatically think it is true. We automatically think that just because a news network reports on something, it is true.
We automatically think that because a documentary or a docu-series or a show on Netflix airs, it's accurate, because they're a credible source, because they're, quote, established. Yet we do not take the time to do our own research. We do not take the time to examine the statistics, to examine the facts, to examine the logic behind things, because we are emotionally exasperated. Humans are emotional creatures. 80% of sales is emotion based. That is why you have buyer's remorse. If people in power understand that society will go wherever they pressure the emotion, they are able to use society like pawns to literally accomplish agendas, to accomplish their own aspirations in life, and it's horrible. It honestly is horrible, because we don't realize that we're being played. We don't realize that we are not in control.

Some of you are more open-minded than others, but regardless, every single person has been programmed with a sheep's mentality because of society. We go on social media and we follow people. They have followers. It's like every single person who you're following is its own cult. That's literally what it is.

I am going to be focusing on getting mine and being the very best leader, the very best individual, the very best man, the very best version of Isaac Mashman I can be, so I can actually get people to be leaders. Real leaders create more leaders and right now we have a bunch of bosses creating sheep and bossing people around. Society as a whole needs leadership. We need community. We need unity. We need leaders with charisma. We need leaders with empathy. We need genuine leaders as well, not people who are just saying things so they can get the popular vote.

Now I'm realizing that the whole point of being a leader is to express your viewpoints and not be afraid of criticism. If you get one thing from today's episode, it's to literally step up, examine yourself and try to figure out what you can do to be the very best version of you.
What can you do to get your family right, to get yourself right, to get your friends right, to get your circle right? It is in your control. If you are making change on that small level, you will make change on the big level.

99% of people are followers and 1% are leaders. It's time we increase those numbers. It's time we increase and make it 99% leaders and 1% followers, and that's when society will really change. Guys, you disagree with me? That's perfectly okay. I'm fine with that. But if you disagree with me and you feel driven, reach out to me. I want to hear other viewpoints. I'm not one of those people who is close-minded to other viewpoints and other perspectives.
I want you to reach out to me. I want you to tell me what you were thinking. I want you to tell me, but I also want you to come at me with logic and with viewpoints and with statistics and with real things. You can come to me with experiences. Experiences hold, experiences tell a lot. I want to be educated. I want you to be educated too. You can follow me everywhere at Isaac Mashman. You can find me on my website, IsaacMashman.com. If you're an artist or a musician, you know what, I [don't] even want to plug myself. The energy doesn't feel right. Guys, with that being said, always live without limitations and have a great day. Don't give up on the rest of 2020. Don't give up on yourself.
Much love.
