Hey, I’m
Cole Hastings
I’m a YouTuber, entrepreneur, and author who has been studying the realms of self improvement and psychology for over 7 years.
But for the first 20 years of my life, I was stuck in a vicious, self-destructive cycle.
Every morning, I’d wake up and question my reason for existing.
I had interests, but nothing I was particularly good at.
I had some friends, but never felt like I was confident enough to be well-respected.
And I would go through the motions of life, unaware of what motivated my negative behaviors and low self-worth.
Between the many classes I failed in high school, the countless nights I stayed up playing video games to distract myself from my existential dread, and my complete lack of energy and vigor, I was convinced that my life would be nothing more than painfully average.
This was me at one of my lowest points, while I was on vacation with my family in New York City at age 15.
But amidst all the self pity and depression…
I came across the world of
Self-Help.
And the promises that came with it immediately enticed me.
I tried implementing some solid habits, like going to the gym consistently, sleeping 8 hours a night, and telling myself daily affirmations.
And it kind of helped.
But there was always something missing that would make those things impossible to stick with…
And my inner critic continued to torment my existence.
It wasn’t until I had studied all the different spectrums of self improvement,
that it finally hit me.
These negative thoughts and habitual actions I would take part in were a conditioned response that came from a culmination of:
✓ All my past thoughts
✓ Experiences
✓ And genetic makeup
And by combining 5+ years of research on behavioral therapy, psychology, philosophy, and habit building, I could create a roadmap that would allow me to uncover my triggers and flaws, fully accept who I was, and create my own beneficial way of perceiving my existence so that I’d never give up.
No matter how much life tried to destroy me.
Through that process:
✓ I created a successful business online
✓ I gained 30 pounds of muscle
✓ I became truly confident with anyone I met
✓ My ability to heal from painful situations improved exponentially
And I went back to that same spot in New York City 10 years later to take this picture and prove to myself just how far I’ve come.
If I can gain this knowledge and realize my power, which is the power that every human being is capable of realizing, then anyone who has access to the same information can too.
That’s why, today, I spread that knowledge through my social media pages, and my Self Mastery School.
