I feel like we need to rethink how we grow and how we accept our growth because I feel like a lot of time we sit and wait for things to happen to make us feel like we're growing and I've come to realize that you have to choose to be better you have to choose to get better I feel like a lot of our life has been in reference at times where maybe we had like some plot development some character development moments and we feel like that's all we need in order to grow so I feel
like a lot of people are waiting for a rush in a sance waiting for uh instantiations of change waiting for things to happen in their lives to make them rethink who they are and I realize that it's not necessarily those circumstances that make us change it's about what they do to us and how we react to them and I feel like most of the time our reaction is to go within a lot of things externally a lot of external issues Force us to look within and I feel like that's where the change happens so in
making that choice for yourself and realizing that you can make that choice for yourself all you have to do is look within which also means that you can change at any time you can grow at any time I don't think there's any constraint to the rapid progression of of a human ideal or of a human idea who we are in external sense is not governed by things that happen externally it's governed by things that happen internally you know things having to do with our perception our Viewpoint everything that has to do with how we see
the world and how we react to it are all internal things so it's about coming to that realization that regardless of what happens regardless of what you endure regardless of what you go through that kind of change can be brought about by your intention alone and of course I'm not saying it's going to be a easy feat I'm not saying it's going to be all rainbows and sunshine every time but I am saying you know once you come to the realization that's you're responsible for your own change it makes it a lot more easy to
be disciplined and motivated towards your own cultivation it makes it a lot more easy to look at the world and and sort of have an opposite of disdain kind of have an appreciation for everything that allows you to look within allows you to be more like yourself CU that's what I realize a lot of us are doing and I always loop back to it but like a lot of us are fighting trying to find our way back to oursel and I think the proper realization is to kind of get out of our heads with that
mentality and realize that as long as you're here you can't escape yourself who you are right now and what you are right now and the space you take up right now is you you know there is no you to to find yourself back to there is no past self to overcome and nor future self to achieve I feel like once you come to that realization and realize that only the present moment exists it allows you to move through life in a way that's somewhat befitting of the characters we we wish to embody and I've been
thinking about it a lot recently how you know a lot of who I am a lot of what I want to do and who I want to be is is constringent on me being able to embody My Philosophy in a way embody the way I view view the world and being able to share that and and truly represent that and I feel like that's what everyone should sort of be tending towards because I'm of course I'm not 100% achieved in that goal however I realize that in making change it part of it comes with consistency
it comes with the sort of the degradation of you know certain mental biases and stigmas that have been placed on us since we were were kids you know things we agree to and I've been reading a book called The Four Agreements I would recommend it to anybody and it it essentially goes over the premise that you know since birth since our whole life is made up of these agreements things we agreed are true and things we allow to be part of our reality and it's like the Paradigm of human consciousness what your conscious of becomes
your subconscious becomes your reality as long as you allow it to to funnel in that's why I say your mind is a sponge be be careful what you consume because a lot of times the negativity inside of us is absorbed by our environment and we allow it to be part of ourselves because we view it as part of our reality and of course there are times there are moments where this isn't necessarily controllable but in the instances where they are I think it's about coming to the realization that you're in control and the present moment
is here you know no matter what type of negative things happen it's about replacing whatever negative bias we have within ourselves with something positive it's about agreeing to something new and that's why I kind of uh stress the importance of affirmation you know sometimes you have to give yourself that validation before anything else will give you that validation and once I came to that realization it was a lot more easy to Traverse through life in a comfortable manner it's about realizing that no matter what you do no matter how you express yourself you have to
give yourself that validation that platform to be yourself no one's going to say okay go ahead be yourself every single time you do something no one's going to give you that Comfort every single time and if they do good I mean if you have that type of PR in your life that's great but I think in realizing that there's something and realizing that everyone has their own complex life to live you have to realize that the responsibility for yourself lies in your own hands you have to be the one to guide yourself towards a better
day a better future A Better Tomorrow a better self and it doesn't necessarily have to be a tomorrow it doesn't have to be in the future who you are now is more than enough to to create the change you wish to have now change happens now it never happens in the future it never happens in the past it happen happens now that change is is I don't feel like growth is constringent on time time doesn't exists but growth does you know I feel like the whole concept of time is kind of is kind of disproportionate
the way we dichotomize ourselves the way we you know create separate versions of ourselves depending on the time in which we exist and when in reality no matter what time it was those parts of ourselves still exist within us now it's just about the way they're expressed I feel like time and time again we've you know we kind of reinvent ourselves we feel like we re reinvent ourselves when I really feel like we're renovating ourselves there is no you to leave behind and I feel like what we try to leave behind what we put behind
is what we carry on our back that's why I feel like a lot of Us carry our traumas carry our everything from our past rather than moving forward from it and I know that's kind of difficult cuz what is moving forward actually look like but in my head you know if you don't move forward you can't leave anything behind it's about accepting those things as part of you your negativity is part of you everything is part of you and I feel like all the good parts of you only can exist in reference that doesn't necessarily
mean Express all your negative aspects to the greatest degree and negatively affect people but realize that there are parts of you that seek out change and you should not run from them you have to realize that those parts of you that seek out change are trying to benefit you you you're trying to help you realize something that's that's almost greater than you it's trying to help you realize that you know there is the the Journey's not over he who thinks the journey is over is the one that's truly lost and then coming to that realization
I feel like that's one of the quotes I resonate with the most cuz you know even in in L of like oh my my YouTube success and whatever um I feel like sometimes it gets hard to really realize like how this is bringing me to a better person bringing me to a better point or you know if I achieve one goal what's left and it's about the rapid realization of more goals it's about choosing to be better then you're better continuing to go and realizing that the journey is not over you know I feel like
in a lot of ways we're infinite our potential has no bounds other than the ones we create within our head so you have to be the one to give yourself that MO mation give yourself that drive and give yourself that push forward that affirmation that validation that what you're doing is contributing to who you are if you don't allow yourself to tell yourself that you're contributing to who you are and what you are a lot of our life is going to be spent in reference to times and things that we did not do for ourselves
that's why I stress the importance of realizing that you have to choose to be better you have to make that conscious choice that conscious effort towards yourself and I feel like any type of conscious Choice towards yourself is an affirmation of your own self-love it's a realization that what you do is going to benefit you and you're going to do it solely for the purpose of your own benefit and not in a selfish way but in a self-loving way that's why I say self- Lov isn't just a statement it's a way at which you care
about yourself and move even in your times of negativity things aren't always going to be rainbows and sunshine and sometimes you have to create that rainbow and sunshine time within yourself you have to be the light of your own life you have to be the life instead of trying to see it it's not about everything that goes on out here it's about how you're reacting within here cuz the more I exist the more I learn the more I observe the more present I am the more I realize that a lot of what's out there a
lot of what we see in the world in terms of our day-to-day expression how we think people how we think people view us how we view ourselves how we react to certain things has a lot to do with how we react to ourselves I feel like in a lot of ways we're reacting to part of ourselves and and part of you know part of that is realizing that your growth is not dependent on others it's dependent on how you feel about it you made it this far in the video thank you so much thank you
thank you thank you much appreciated I was supposed to go live last night I couldn't do it but um today's the day of the eclipse I think when I'm making this so um enjoy the eclipse enjoy the pictures enjoy the videos you know make it personal I guess I don't know I don't really know the significance of eclipses but in general I don't know it's pretty cool thing so uh make sure you're being intentional spend some time with family friends tell somebody you love them today uh no point not to make sure you're telling yourself
you love yourself today I feel like that's one of the more important things and uh all in all keep being you uh realize that you have a lot of potential within you and regardless of what happens regardless of the stimulus you have to realize that you have to make your own change and you have to want to be better all in all uh thank you keep being you keep being great
