oh man I think something truly [ __ ] fascinating happens when you put yourself in a position of I want to solve something I got to do something and I think everybody has the chance to do so especially if you're like me and you are not dying of hunger and you know you have the chance um look I'm not going to sit here and pretend that I don't like to just sit back and relax and not do anything and lie on that bed over there but let me tell you that's not what we're meant for
um today I cleaned my kitchen and I did it so well that I'm really proud of myself and I got to actually there's something about doing the most you could say mundane things that kind of you don't want to do I mean like clean a kitchen or clean your bathroom or sweep the floor or and it's so profound it can be it made me think of you know home in a way all the times that my parents would do the cleaning and I was able to just enjoy being a child I might be being corny
here but you know and on the other hand it was so therapeutic you know it helps it's not bad it's nothing bad it's you know you got to do something it's not you know I'm not Reinventing the wheel here it's good if you do something hard where do you start how do you take action well I think you need to start accepting the fact that you're not there yet and that's okay you know you need to start accepting yourself for who you are and once you do you can start accepting the reality that it is
within your hands to say [ __ ] this and I want to change [ __ ] this and I want to dream big and I want to change who I am well that's actually pretty good look at that isn't that magnificent well and I keep figuring that it's really about who you become and not the things that you get you know I've always wanted to have you know for example one of those lamps that lamp that I have right there I've always wanted to have that but uh I couldn't care less in a way you
know um I'll buy new shoes or I'll get some new clothes or a new back and I love those things you know I I'm very specific about what I get you know I don't like to have too many things but it's nothing compared to who I become as a person who I am now and I think back a lot on stop wanting to be that person just be the person you know you want to be this guy you want to be that guy you want to be this girl you want to be that girl you
want to be this person just be them it's like acting you know just be them just be that person just I don't know because isn't it the same as in living like just live right okay well you know I'm thinking I'm anxious you know I'm I'm and I'm also depressed I'm in the past all the time and yeah that's fine but some people endure the pain that or the situation that you're going [Music] through because they're unaware that that's what they're going through Marcus Aus said something about that endured by ignorance or endureed because you
can or if it's endurable endure it you know I got to say man I mean some human beings throughout history really it's just those are real life heroes in a way you know like holy [ __ ] you know think about it and I don't know a lot and there's so much to learn still and you know it's I never thought I would be somebody who wants to read books who wants to learn things who wants to you know be more proactive you know I always thought you know I can just play Life on easy
mode you know oh if I just have my whole gaming equipment and I have the right camera and you know I start live streaming my video games you know eventually I'll become a star or whatever it's like like no see what was missing there was the intention of taking on more responsibility and trying to do something that's hard not because you know I'm going to be able to do it easily because you know I'm meant for it no there's something about taking on a hard problem because it feels like you're kind of meant for it
or like that's your it's your duty or it's the best possible thing you can do see if you want to become a live streamer you know Pro Esports player or you want to become a fashion influencer or you want to go into Harvard or you know it is possible it's not impossible definitely not but make sure that you understand it's going to be a struggle and you want to have that struggle see I had my gaming setup and my whole streaming setup and I had every game that I could have ever wanted I had the
graphics card I wanted you know the RDX 3070 and an 11 an i 9 11900 K and 32 gigs of RAM and you know I had the monitor with 260 Herz you know which nowadays is nothing but you know and I just sat there and you know for those of you who don't know anything about video games I mean you know imagine you have all the equipment and all the you have all the let's say you want to go into Harvard you have all the history books or you have all the Articles and you have
the iPad to write your things down and you have the [ __ ] everything or you know you want to be a fashion influencer you have the camera you have the clothes you have the style you have your Niche whatever it is but you just don't want to do it you just [Music] don't you don't feel like it's your duty or it's your It's a Grind it's a something like that so do something hard because you can before I became a barista you know the person I was before and after as a professional Barista is
like night and day but I never thought I'd be able to live under such pressure it's the person who you become and you can be that person you're a lot more capable than you think you are not because you don't believe in yourself it's just you haven't put yourself in a position of no return yet a position which you are put in the cold water and you are tested and you have to see if you're either going to drown or you're going to survive or you're going to swim and you're going to swim really fast
and get back out of the water to put yourself in a different water again and maybe this time even colder because now you're that person now you can do that so put yourself in the cold water I figure that the only way that I can be happy is when I put my myself to do things that are hardened that I don't want to do like cleaning my kitchen and you get small things out of it that you just didn't expect you would do and you going to enjoy it so much more there's so much goodness
that comes out of that out of doing things that you know you should be doing it really is so that the magic lies where the work isn't being done that you know you should be doing that fulfillment that happiness that you're looking for it's in doing what you know you should be doing and maybe that's a direction maybe that's a purpose follow that you can still tweak it along the way but it's better than not doing anything anything see I have a client and they're having a hard time with deciding where to go and who
doesn't who doesn't have a hard time with choosing nowadays especially and I would say to myself just pick or do what do the thing that scares you that one that you have to face ridicule for it's the one that you know you should be doing only you know that you know the one do that thing go on that Journey Embark in that Adventure in which you know you're going to risk ridicule you're going to risk failure you're going to risk facing yourself your inadequacies your shortcomings falling on your face leaving people behind having to take
accountability for your actions and on the other side of that decision which starts off so small this journey unfolds where you have self-discoveries of who you are who you been all along that you never saw people you'll meet you never thought you'd be friends with the power that you hold the influence that you have and those around you and yourself self-mastery is not a destination it's a path it's a journey and if I risk being corny May so be it but at least if I can Embrace who I am I can finally see life my
way with my world VI and not be tied back by others and not pull my punches and think I have to play around everybody's rules and not my own and in the end that way I can do more good for the world than if I didn't embark on my journey on my Hero's path it's exciting cuz it's scary thank you for watching talk to you soon how you going
