    to the Past was there is there has there

    you learn from those so like no cuz like
  • 00:00:22
    even the regrets the bad things or the
  • 00:00:25
    stupid things you learn not to do bad
  • 00:00:27
    things or stupid things you know those
  • 00:00:30
    all those things are beneficial in some
  • 00:00:31
    way if you can get through them you know
  • 00:00:34
    you know if you like did something that
  • 00:00:37
    that resulted in someone's death or some
  • 00:00:39
    something horrible like that yeah it' be
  • 00:00:41
    a terrible regret but I've been very
  • 00:00:43
    fortunate that that hasn't happened but
  • 00:00:45
    the dumb [ __ ] that I've done or the bad
  • 00:00:47
    mistakes that I've made they've taught
  • 00:00:49
    me you know you learn like that's why
  • 00:00:52
    failure is so important like failing and
  • 00:00:54
    [ __ ] up and making mistakes it's very
  • 00:00:57
    important you that's how you learn see
  • 00:00:59
    the bad feeling that you get from
  • 00:01:01
    something that you shouldn't have done
  • 00:01:03
    or wish you didn't do or wish you did
  • 00:01:05
    better like especially failing at
  • 00:01:07
    something where you half asked it and
  • 00:01:09
    you just feel like a [ __ ] loser like
  • 00:01:11
    that just teaches you teaches you to get
  • 00:01:15
    your [ __ ] together well you have such a
  • 00:01:17
    good ability to learn from those things
  • 00:01:18
    some people I think kind of rep you know
  • 00:01:20
    it's just like it gets repetitive for
  • 00:01:21
    some people that's dangerous yeah it's
  • 00:01:23
    dangerous to dwell on past mistakes
  • 00:01:26
    because people sort of Define themselves
  • 00:01:28
    by the worst moments that they've ever
  • 00:01:29
    ever had and if that's the case like
  • 00:01:31
    some people are stuck in high school you
  • 00:01:33
    know they're they're stuck in failures
  • 00:01:35
    that they had like when they were first
  • 00:01:36
    getting jobs and they always think that
  • 00:01:38
    they're a loser and they they don't like
  • 00:01:40
    the feeling of failure so they keep low
  • 00:01:42
    expectations so that they never have to
  • 00:01:43
    feel
  • 00:01:44
    that you got to get through it you got
  • 00:01:47
    to get through bad feelings you got to
  • 00:01:49
    get through um you got to get through
  • 00:01:51
    failure it's very important and you get
  • 00:01:53
    through it by just picking yourself back
  • 00:01:56
    up and moving forward and going but it's
  • 00:01:58
    hard for a lot of people because they
  • 00:01:59
    that sting they never get over it the
  • 00:02:02
    the feeling of failure and they don't
  • 00:02:04
    have a good support system like good
  • 00:02:05
    friends like having a good community of
  • 00:02:07
    friends it's very very important because
  • 00:02:10
    you could feel like down like if you've
  • 00:02:12
    been a girl broke up with you and you
  • 00:02:14
    feel like you're the worst you're a
  • 00:02:15
    [ __ ] loser like you're a piece of
  • 00:02:17
    [ __ ] but then you go out with your
  • 00:02:18
    friends and you have a few laughs and
  • 00:02:19
    next thing you know you're laughing and
  • 00:02:21
    you're like I'm all right we'll be all
  • 00:02:23
    right then maybe you meet a new lady
  • 00:02:25
    yeah yeah and she like picks you up and
  • 00:02:27
    you're like oh we're going to be okay
  • 00:02:28
    and then you learn from the last
  • 00:02:29
    mistakes yeah that's life it just those
  • 00:02:32
    feelings of failure are so hard they're
  • 00:02:35
    so hard to get over and they they
  • 00:02:37
    overwhelm people and some people can't
  • 00:02:39
    get past them and then every time some
  • 00:02:42
    new thing comes up when you have to rise
  • 00:02:44
    to the occasion you have to perform you
  • 00:02:46
    think about that time you failed and it
  • 00:02:47
    [ __ ] your head up man you think I'm a
  • 00:02:50
    [ __ ] loser I can't do this I'm GNA
  • 00:02:52
    fail I'm gonna [ __ ] up you know like
  • 00:02:54
    bombing like how many times have you had
  • 00:02:56
    a bad set and you're like God damn it I
  • 00:02:58
    suck at comedy I can't do this I can't
  • 00:03:00
    do this I suck at comedy that's just it
  • 00:03:02
    I just suck and then you define yourself
  • 00:03:05
    that way and you you got to get over it
  • 00:03:07
    yeah do know thankfully you never have
  • 00:03:09
    two bad in a row either which is kind of
  • 00:03:10
    interesting well you learn from that one
  • 00:03:13
    and you're like coming out guns blazing
  • 00:03:15
    for the next show yeah yeah maybe it
  • 00:03:17
    activates some senses in you did you
  • 00:03:19
    feel like you learn that from somebody
  • 00:03:20
    or did you always just have that kind of
  • 00:03:22
    intuition when it comes to that kind of
  • 00:03:23
    stuff I think I learned it from martial
  • 00:03:25
    arts cuz you you get your ass kicked and
  • 00:03:27
    like you don't want to get your ass
  • 00:03:28
    kicked again you either quit fighting or
  • 00:03:30
    you learn how to get a lot better you
  • 00:03:32
    know and then you get your ass kicked in
  • 00:03:33
    training which happens all the time and
  • 00:03:36
    you know you learn from those mistakes
  • 00:03:38
    you learn you know like maybe you were
  • 00:03:40
    stationary too much or maybe you
  • 00:03:41
    telegraphed too much or maybe you you
  • 00:03:43
    got tired and you you haven't been doing
  • 00:03:45
    your cardio like those those failures
  • 00:03:48
    that you have from martial arts are so
  • 00:03:51
    consequential because you get hurt like
  • 00:03:53
    you physically get punished and then you
  • 00:03:56
    don't want that to happen again so you
  • 00:03:57
    got to be either quit or get way
  • 00:04:01
