00:00:00
the more I develop the more I learn
00:00:01
about myself the more I realize how much
00:00:04
we're burdened by the things we carry
00:00:06
from our past and in saying that I mean
00:00:10
that if you keep carrying old bricks
00:00:12
you'll build the same
00:00:14
house if you keep carrying the past with
00:00:17
you if you keep taking who you used to
00:00:20
be that anxiety of the past that anxiety
00:00:23
of your your previous self you'll
00:00:26
continue to keep being that person and I
00:00:29
don't say that just to say that you
00:00:31
should just let go of your past self
00:00:34
it's not about letting go it's not about
00:00:36
disregarding it's not about getting rid
00:00:39
I think we need to get that out of our
00:00:41
mentality cuz in all aspects of
00:00:43
ourselves I don't think we get rid of
00:00:45
anything I think we change
00:00:47
it it's about
00:00:50
renovation not disregarding you know
00:00:53
when we're building something new and
00:00:54
we're taking pieces and parts of
00:00:56
ourselves that we may dislike that don't
00:00:58
serve us it's not about treating them as
00:01:01
if they're nothing throwing them behind
00:01:03
us cuz what we throw behind us is what
00:01:05
we carry on our back we tend to think
00:01:08
we're disregarding it when really we're
00:01:10
just disregarding ourselves the things
00:01:12
we want to get rid of the things we want
00:01:14
to change are there for a reason we want
00:01:16
to change them for a reason it's not
00:01:18
because of something that's just a part
00:01:20
of us that we need to get rid of it's a
00:01:22
part of us that needs our attention it's
00:01:24
a part of us that needs our stimulation
00:01:26
in order to become something new become
00:01:29
something worthwhile
00:01:30
and I think the main thing we need to do
00:01:32
is change that perspective that we have
00:01:35
on you know all negative parts of
00:01:37
ourselves
00:01:38
aren't you know to be shunned like that
00:01:42
just to be focused
00:01:45
on when I say uh you keep carrying this
00:01:48
old bricks you're going to build the
00:01:49
same
00:01:50
house I definitely heard that uh from
00:01:53
somewhere I definitely saw it on Tik Tok
00:01:55
not going to lie to
00:01:56
y'all but I just thought it was a great
00:01:58
topic
00:02:00
you know it's a it's a great analogy
00:02:04
for how we think about changing the self
00:02:07
how we think about growing as
00:02:09
people and I feel like a lot of us think
00:02:11
that
00:02:13
it's you know a total rebirth which in
00:02:16
some ways it is a lot of people
00:02:18
experience what they call like ego death
00:02:20
and they feel like they come out a new
00:02:23
person but I feel like ego death is sort
00:02:25
of an unattainable thing sometimes so
00:02:29
when regards so when you can't just
00:02:31
readily do that it's
00:02:33
about realizing the aspects of yourself
00:02:35
that seek out
00:02:37
change and focusing on you know instead
00:02:39
of running from the aspects of ourselves
00:02:41
that seek out change feel like we run
00:02:44
from ourselves a lot we run from our
00:02:46
expression We R from our cultivation We
00:02:48
R from our actualization in more ways
00:02:50
than I could probably put my finger
00:02:54
on and not being present and not being
00:02:57
with ourselves and not being able to
00:02:58
truly address our problems without you
00:03:01
know taking personal which shouldn't be
00:03:03
taken
00:03:04
personal and in some ways you know your
00:03:06
own negative aspect should be taken
00:03:08
personally but I don't think they should
00:03:10
NE necessarily be
00:03:12
taken you
00:03:14
know as seriously as we do I feel like
00:03:17
we attri attribute more of the negative
00:03:20
aspects of ourselves to our identity
00:03:21
than our positive
00:03:23
ones it's more important to focus on the
00:03:26
positive of course and I wouldn't say
00:03:29
it's less important to focus on the
00:03:30
negative I just think the negative
00:03:32
shouldn't be used as a foundation for
00:03:34
who we
00:03:36
are not to say don't address the
00:03:38
negative not to say don't cultivate past
00:03:41
it not to say don't look at
00:03:44
it but to
00:03:47
say when you're trying to get better
00:03:50
when we're be trying to become something
00:03:52
new we can't carry that negativity we
00:03:56
have to focus on changing it and moving
00:03:58
forward and we have to be care careful
00:04:00
and mindful of our the patterns of our
00:04:02
mind cuz that's how I feel like most of
00:04:03
us get loop back in like even in my own
00:04:06
experience I find that sometimes I still
00:04:10
feel like the person I was three years
00:04:12
ago I have my days I have my moments and
00:04:15
it's about realizing that you're no
00:04:17
longer there you no longer have to be in
00:04:19
that space and you no longer have to be
00:04:21
that person I me you're still that
00:04:23
person you no longer have to be in that
00:04:25
head space it's about realizing that you
00:04:28
know if you keep
00:04:30
repeating those same cycles and don't
00:04:32
stop yourself and don't allow yourself
00:04:34
to think something different or or try
00:04:35
to think something different or at least
00:04:36
make efforts to change something that's
00:04:40
putting you in that Loop you're going to
00:04:42
repeat the same cycle and get the same
00:04:44
results I said this in my past two
00:04:46
videos you know a lot of us try to tear
00:04:49
our house down tear ourselves down and
00:04:50
rebuild ourselves in a different place
00:04:52
only to realize that if we rebuild the
00:04:55
same structure we're going to have the
00:04:56
same structural problems it's about
00:04:59
renovation it's about changing the
00:05:00
structure You're Building or more so
00:05:02
changing the pieces and parts to make it
00:05:04
holistically
00:05:06
you I feel like some of the negativity
00:05:08
some of the negative aspects of
00:05:09
ourselves are implanted it's not
00:05:11
necessarily stuff that's inherent to our
00:05:13
character it's stuff that's inherent to
00:05:15
our environment in the way at which we
00:05:16
were brought up or the way at which we
00:05:18
perceiv our upbringing and that's why I
00:05:20
feel like perception is so important and
00:05:23
perception I feel like goes hand in hand
00:05:24
with being present being present in this
00:05:27
sense is
00:05:30
being able to choose your perspective
00:05:33
being able to look at the world and and
00:05:34
say to it you know this is how I want to
00:05:36
view it this is how I will VI rather
00:05:39
than this is how it is and this is how I
00:05:40
have to accept it not to say be super
00:05:44
delusional but be a little delusional it
00:05:47
it really doesn't it really doesn't do
00:05:49
that that much damage you know be
00:05:51
reasonable but in all things that are
00:05:53
subject perspective all things that are
00:05:55
subject to your own minds bias why not
00:05:59
bias it in your
00:06:00
favor why not be that person for
00:06:03
yourself to give you that little oomph
00:06:05
cuz I feel like a lot of us look to our
00:06:07
friends look to our family for that that
00:06:08
sort of validation on subjects they
00:06:11
might not know a lot about and I feel
00:06:13
like it's a lot more genuine a lot more
00:06:16
not to say you can't appreciate I
00:06:17
appreciate whenever people tell me stuff
00:06:19
like that but to say that it's it's a
00:06:22
little different when it comes from you
00:06:24
it's like looking at all your ups and
00:06:26
downs in life and still saying you're on
00:06:29
the way up like
00:06:31
it's affirming to yourself that no
00:06:34
matter what has happened in your
00:06:36
experience that you're still pioneering
00:06:38
onward that you're still trying to move
00:06:40
forward you know you're patting yourself
00:06:43
on the back for falling you're getting
00:06:44
up each
00:06:46
time I feel like that's where your true
00:06:48
appreciation comes in cuz if you're
00:06:49
watching this video no matter what
00:06:51
hardships you've endured no matter what
00:06:53
things you've been through you've gotten
00:06:54
to this point you made it through
00:06:56
that you know your mind might be messed
00:06:58
up at this moment
00:07:00
I don't know what what people have going
00:07:02
on but regardless you made it to this
00:07:03
moment and you can do it over and over
00:07:07
again to know what humanly possible
00:07:09
means you two can do
00:07:12
it I feel like a lot of us spend our
00:07:14
life in reference to something that we
00:07:16
probably shouldn't live in reference to
00:07:18
a lot of our past sometimes are negative
00:07:20
we have a lot of negativity we carry
00:07:21
from the past but we made it through
00:07:23
that this is a new time and you are a
00:07:25
new person due to that circumstance so
00:07:28
we have to realize that
00:07:30
in attempting to carry those pieces and
00:07:31
parts with you know remember the lesson
00:07:34
forget the
00:07:36
teacher remember the lesson forget the
00:07:38
teach it we have to keep moving forward
00:07:41
not necessarily disregarding the past
00:07:44
but regarding who we are now regarding
00:07:47
who we want to
00:07:49
be you know living in a in a new
00:07:51
definition of
00:07:54
yourself you know you're in some
00:07:58
ways you know is no past self to
00:08:02
overcome who you are now is is just as
00:08:04
much suited for anything as you will
00:08:06
ever
00:08:06
be it's about getting out of that that
00:08:09
same mentality that you had when you
00:08:11
were that person getting out of those
00:08:13
same thought loads getting out of those
00:08:15
same
00:08:17
habits and one thing I said you can't
00:08:19
replace anything in your life with just
00:08:22
a
00:08:24
vacancy you is going to be filled by
00:08:26
something that's going to want to be
00:08:28
stimulated by
00:08:30
something and you can either make the
00:08:32
choice to intentionally put positive
00:08:34
stuff in there or allow something random
00:08:36
to get in there and chances are if you
00:08:39
allow something random get in it'll be
00:08:40
negative it might be the same thing that
00:08:42
you're trying to get away from that's
00:08:45
why I feel like renovation is important
00:08:46
intentional
00:08:48
renovation focusing on the parts of
00:08:50
yourself like if you if you're feeling
00:08:52
insecure if you're feeling lack of
00:08:53
confidence it's not
00:08:55
about uh just faking it till you make it
00:08:59
it's about cultivating it it's a it's a
00:09:03
cultivated thing it's a trial and er
00:09:05
thing like even in my own experience I
00:09:07
don't feel like I truly got a grasp on
00:09:09
myself or I truly got a grasp
00:09:11
on how to move in my own confidence my
00:09:14
own
00:09:15
air until like maybe like a year
00:09:19
ago and that's just
00:09:22
cuz it's a cultivated thing it's about
00:09:25
putting yourself in scenarios and
00:09:26
situations to help you realize but also
00:09:29
you know one thing I realized recently
00:09:31
is
00:09:31
that you know easy shortcut to this is
00:09:34
one telling
00:09:35
yourself and two feeling
00:09:38
it feeling it reprogramming your mind in
00:09:42
a sense reprogramming the way you think
00:09:43
about yourself in turn your reactions
00:09:46
change your perceptions change and
00:09:48
overall your life changes as well so if
00:09:51
not anything this is a sign for you to
00:09:53
be intentional with your perception and
00:09:55
intentional with how you choose to
00:09:57
rebuild yourself and break yourself down
00:10:00
you know don't just tear yourself down
00:10:01
for no reason but make sure if you do
00:10:04
you're building yourself back up with
00:10:06
intention and not to just get something
00:10:08
built not to just get something built
00:10:10
it's okay to be loose structured it's
00:10:13
okay to be loose with your identity in a
00:10:16
sense as long as you know you're
00:10:17
cultivating something you're trying to
00:10:19
intentionally build something and it's
00:10:21
okay to not know all the answers let's
00:10:23
see people talking about they don't know
00:10:24
what their passions are they don't know
00:10:26
what their dreams are just yet and
00:10:27
that's
00:10:28
okay I don't necessarily know everything
00:10:30
I want to do in my life yet and I don't
00:10:33
think anybody ever gets to that point
00:10:35
once we achieve something we as humans I
00:10:37
feel like are constantly going to be in
00:10:38
the search for something
00:10:39
new something greater just as our mind
00:10:42
always seeks out problems it always
00:10:43
seeks out stuff for us to do it's always
00:10:45
going to seek out the next thing you
00:10:47
know the next passion the next motive
00:10:49
the next
00:10:50
motivation and make sure when you find
00:10:52
those motivations when you have those
00:10:54
things hold it firmly in your heart and
00:10:56
in your mind's eye and what I mean by
00:10:58
that is you know realize it's
00:11:01
plausibility and walk each day walk each
00:11:04
life as if it's already occurring as if
00:11:07
what you wish to achieve what you uh are
00:11:10
hoping is already embraced
00:11:13
now it's the same principle of
00:11:16
um
00:11:18
feeling you know the law of attraction
00:11:21
sort of states that you have to uh in
00:11:23
some ways feel or in some ways embody
00:11:26
what you wish to attract in order to get
00:11:28
it
00:11:30
which is sort of counterintuitive
00:11:32
sometimes but um I wrote something the
00:11:34
other day it's because we dare not
00:11:38
Venture what is it it's not because we
00:11:42
uh it's not because things are difficult
00:11:45
that we dare not Venture it's because we
00:11:46
dare not Venture that things are
00:11:47
difficult I feel like a lot of us don't
00:11:49
s our own scenes in who we are and what
00:11:53
we are to the same extent that we just
00:11:55
allow things to sort of unfold in front
00:11:58
of us and it's a it's about sewing your
00:11:59
seeds in yourself and realizing that you
00:12:03
know you're you're going to grow you're
00:12:05
a person who's who's going to be
00:12:06
cultivated a person who's going to be
00:12:09
uplifted by your own self in a way and
00:12:12
you have to have that sort of faith in s
00:12:14
that faith in yourself to constantly and
00:12:16
readily improve and become something new
00:12:19
you know there is no such thing as
00:12:20
stagnation in this sense as long as
00:12:22
you're being genuine to
00:12:24
yourself so it's about just having faith
00:12:28
just as you were planning seat in the
00:12:29
ground and know it's going to grow some
00:12:30
type of fruit vegetable or
00:12:33
whatnot just know if you invest in
00:12:35
yourself the same's going to happen it
00:12:37
may not look exactly how you want it
00:12:39
to but you have to have no expectation
00:12:42
and and that's s the sense and I'm going
00:12:44
to talk about the law of of Detachment
00:12:46
in some video it was requested but it's
00:12:49
sort of the same principle just not
00:12:50
being being impartial to that but doing
00:12:53
it because it's a good thing to do it's
00:12:56
a good thing to try to help yourself
00:12:57
grow that doesn't necessarily mean you
00:12:59
have to uh do it in a specific
00:13:04
way so if you made it this far in the
00:13:06
video thank you so much much much much
00:13:10
appreciate um I really appreciate the
00:13:13
support I'm getting I love reaching out

00:13:47

00:13:49
intentional with the way they're caring
00:13:50
