you know how are you going to get to a goal you don't believe is there how are you going to get to the goal if you don't believe there's a path a man sees in the world what he carries in his heart I feel like a lot of times we see exactly what we are in the world around us in some ways I think that we attract what we are and that's not just to say like if you're a bad person bad things will happen like in a karmic sense and it's in a sense that
you know how you feel about yourself is often proportional about how you feel about the world I find that the more happy people get or like the more sad people get it's kind of like a a positive feedback loop you know you get happy you find more things to be happy out you stay happy and then certain life events happen certain things happen that kind of get us and sway us from that path and we get into that negative Loop where everything becomes negative and what I'm saying is that choice needs to be made you
know you have to decide or realize be conscious enough to realize when you're in those in those negative Cycles like even for myself I have trouble with it all the time I find myself getting negative at certain time certain stuff happens you know life happens you know but as long as I like hold on to that mindset that Consciousness that realization that I have control over the present moment I'm able to live how I want to it's kind of similar to like being the life instead of trying to see it is embodying how you want
it to be or viewing yourself in a way that you want to see the world it's like having so much I think I've said this before but having like so much appreciation and love for yourself that everything around it becomes an embodiment of that love it's about about self appreciation and and I guess this is sort of akin to the Law of Attraction so I guess I could talk about that um I kind of first figured out the about the law of attraction maybe like five years ago my father had given me a book called
The Secret and then I also started listening to Alan Watts meditations which really helped me so y'all should definitely do that as well um but essentially it's kind of like putting yourself in the head space of where you want to get rather than you know distancing yourself from your goals in your head already being there already feeling that gratitude and I feel like I've done that in so many ways and I'm I'm super proud of myself for the way i' I've been able to kind of be delusional in a way but like in a in
a healthier way I guess sometimes it's not healthy sometimes it is but I think when it pertains to our dreams when it it pertains to our passions there are certain things in life that can get in our way you know maybe somebody says a comment maybe uh a friend doesn't support you the way you expected them to not saying that happened to me my friends all supportive I love them but um just in general when we kind of get thrown off our our Loop like positive loop it's about getting back and bringing yourself bringing your
goal to yourself like feeling how you would feel when you got it and um there's so many books out there I I used to listen to this Earl nighting nighting tale uh audio about feeling I forgot what it was called but essentially he goes on to say that um the key is feeling and I I completely agree it's about feeling that appreciation feeling that gratitude so you have more things to be grateful for it's like practicing the feeling so you so you get to feel it you know it it's kind of I'm trying to articulate
it well but I guess the simplest way I can put it is um sort of replicating the feeling you hope to get you know feeling it early and not in a sense like it doesn't spoil it it's not spoiling the surprise to to get excited to you know be happy about your own progression be happy about your own potential it's one thing to be humble but it's one thing to you know lower your your own self-image and self-esteem by your own effort to be humble about it and I'm not saying humble in a sense of
like you're not talking about it I think you know in some ways you should always be humble in that sense but in a sense how you feel about yourself you know why not raise that through the roof why not feel the best about yourself that you possibly can and I feel like it's that that constant separation that kind of takes us away from those laws takes us away from our self and our potential it's the dichotomy between like your future self and your present self that kind of takes us away from where we could be
um this even goes with like simple stuff like doing our assignments doing our homework wanting to do good on tests we often feel like our our future self is going to be more prepared for um some type of test some type of arrangement than our current self and I learned about this from one of my psychology teachers in high school but essentially we have to stop doing that you know your future self is not going to be any more suited to do stuff just like how your your past self wasn't and in the same way
that your future self isn't some like goal to to find your past self you know there is no past self to overcome who you are right now is enough to I feel like make the change you need or at least start and as it pertains to your your future self how you want to be how you wish to be I don't think it's about being like Oh man when I get here when I get there or I can't wait till this happens so I can experience this I can't wait till this happen so I can
feel this it's about being there currently and I think once I realized this this is when my my life sort of started to take a turn for the better in terms of like just My overall mental health I stopped waiting on certain life events certain scenarios to play out in my head or in reality for me to feel happy about myself started appreciating what I have now started appreciating who I am am now instead of appreciating who I have yet to become that person doesn't exist especially not as long as I I posit that it's
not that that it's different than what I am now creating that separation creating that whole another identity takes it away you have to add it to yourself not make it a whole different equation you have to keep it to yourself like if if you want that like self love that self appre appreciation feeling like you're you're beautiful handsome attractive cuz I feel like you know we're in that era we're in that time all of people watching this you know you're in your your 20s late late teens even your whole life your external appearance and stuff
like that it it weighs heavily on your internal world but I feel like it is it's one of those things you know the better you feel about yourself I feel like you become more receptive to certain things you know you become more uh readily able to communicate with people on in a way that you know maybe you can show the other aspects of yourself that will make you more approachable but in my experience I keep I'll tie back to my experience um I just started you know literally telling myself that I love myself and that's
something we don't I feel like a lot of people don't do that like genuinely saying it outward make sure you can hear it I do it every morning every night and I don't know if it's necessarily helped but like over time like it just it just feels like something changed it just feels like a shift happened for me at some point where you know I just became happy just being myself and everything else started following suit you know you once you find you know a good couple reasons to just enjoy life enjoy who you are
a lot of things come your way and I can't you know I can't say for 100% certainty you know like uh I feel like you know everything I say someone should be taken with a a grain of salt my experience is my own but I do feel like there's a lesson to be learned here and I feel like you can learn from the experience being able to attract what you are and it's like being good to yourself being so good to yourself that you know your mind start to thinks that you're a good person that
deserves it feeling deserving giving yourself Grace enough to feel deserving of the certain things you get I know a lot of people who like will get a lot of blessings or something something will happen to them that you know don't feel deserving enough and I think that somewhat blocked some of it you know I think some of us are scared of appreciating and I know what the feeling is like and it's like something comes and you're like oh like can I really be happy about this am I allowed to express myself am I allowed to
be happy about this you know we kind of stop ourselves from that sort of like childlike nature that we used to have like when you get a gift as a kid and you're just so up and Giddy and I'm not saying you have to react like that but in terms of how you feel like it shouldn't be a suppressed thing I feel like some people aren't happy because they're not allowing themselves to be you know sort of holding ourselves back from that you know out of fear that we look a certain way or we might
be perceived a certain way or or something like that a lot of people in the comments asking like how do you find out like what you like it's just like being genuine being true to yourself understanding you know what makes you function what makes you work and how you relate to yourself how you relate to your circumstances your your external and most of all how you relate to your internal how you relate to the you know the voices in your the voice in your head I say voices it sounds like crazy but um how you
relate to the voice in your head how you relate to everything that's around you and inside you like uh your negativity your your your positivity your self-esteem self-image you know how you relate to that what is your relationship with that how are you cultivating a relationship with that and how are you you know making it better you meditate and some stuff like that I feel like it's each successive action that kind of contributes to this idea like the law of attraction or you attract what you are giving yourself enough like I think sometimes to get
what we deserve we have to feel like we deserve it you know you have to kind of open your head up to the possibility of it and I think for a long time even with this Channel and I don't know if this is 100% correlated you know causation doesn't mean correlation or correlation doesn't mean cor causation but as soon as I felt like appreciative of my own work appreciative of what I was putting out there to the point where I was like this is good stuff like I appreciate this or and then I got in
the head for it's like oh like there's potential for this to reach a lot of people and for it to help a lot of people for it to actually make an impact as soon as I like internalize that myself and really like inter stood it like felt it like oh this is going to help like even if one person watches this I know I know that it helped me so I know it can has potential to help others as soon as I got that feeling like I feel it right now as soon as as I
got that feeling like it just started it just started coming as soon as I started feeling either a deserving or either B like felt the potential felt the possibility to know assumingly possibly means you two could do it I say this quote all the time and it's about realizing that you can realizing that you have the capability you know even if you don't believe like the Mystic part of the Law of Attraction the the religious the spiritual part of the Law of Attraction you know how are you going to get to a goal you don't
believe is there how are you going to get to the goal if you don't believe there is a path you know like you can't think you will win the race if you never run you never you don't you know like guess so many analogies for the same thing but the bottom line is you have to feel it you have to feel like you can you have to feel your own passion feel your own happiness feel your appreciation for what has yet to come sometimes you got to appreciate life just for appreciating life's sake sometimes you
got to wake up in the morning I woke up today I'm happy about it even if it it hurts like today like I I I'll be I'll be 100% transparent the weekend was cool I love the weekend the week I had a great weekend but my like health it felt weird I was tired and I didn't eat much so yesterday I woke up 6:00 a.m. and I was like I'm about to get back to my my grind my routine cuz I kind of got relaxed on I kind of you know you know it's one thing
to live in the moment but you need a reason to relax sometimes I feel like you need that dichotomy between I'm working and I'm having fun in order to really appreciate the fun so and appreciate the work too you learn stuff either way but I got back in the gym I started you know my same routine and I feel great you know might be a little tired he Three Square meals today but um it's just great uh being able to appreciate what you do for yourself sometimes and it just like makes you appreciate everything else
um if you're looking in the back my plan plan is struggling it hasn't seen light in so many days there hasn't been a lot of light I I tried to get it into the window today but it's okay um I'm hoping for the best but if you made it this far in the video thank you so much uh I honestly appreciate every single one of y'all who watched this even if you didn't make it this far in the video thank you um like I I've always felt grateful like I started feeling grateful before I even
started getting even somewhat of a following and I feel like that's part of it too you know just being grateful for what you put out there loving your stuff so much that everything else has to embody that love in a way or something like that but just thank you um stay tuned I got to I think the next video I'm going to drop because I told my friend I'll drop a video on meditation so that'll probably be my next video um I know some of yall thought it was going to be this one but I
apologize this is what I felt like talking about today um I'm going go live again soon and uh yeah all in all thank you guys so much make sure you're you're trying to be intentional um there's a lot of Life to Live a lot of life to experience you got to start within know start appreciating yourself you'll start appreciating everything else
