how's it going very beautiful as you can see [Music] about a year ago I went to Hawaii for the first time by myself barely even had a plan I went there with $400 and I stayed at various hostels and places where you can work to stay for free after the first week I got bored of the hostel I was at and I met these two guys named Brandon and plasma we were sitting on this deck in front of the ocean and they were playing guitar I always gravitate towards to music like if there's a street
performer or someone playing an instrument you probably find me around that person anyway so I like these guys and they told me if I ever needed a place to stay to hit them up right so I left the place I was staying and I I had nowhere to go and I messaged Brandon and I said hey I'm taking your offer um I want to stay with you you guys wherever it is so I ended up sleeping on a bench that night cuz they weren't there yet I slept on a bench in the rain for the
first time I've always had a home I never had to sleep outside like that so that was a pretty new experience anyway the next day Brandon comes and well both of them come and they pick me up in this pickup truck but there was no room to sit in the truck so I had to sit in the bed of the truck which is fine but we were going on a highway so they were driving like 60 M hour and I'm just sitting in the back of this bed of this truck right and I remember thinking
to myself if they crash right now I will die like I'm in a position where I could just cease to exist in this body and at first it was a little scary to think that and then I was realizing or not realizing I was gathering Faith you know I've always had a connection with life with I a lot of people call it God I like to call it God sometimes but it's really just a faith in the higher order of things that everything happens for a reason and I started leaning into that and then I
closed my eyes while I'm in the bed of the truck going 60 MPH and I relaxed I fully relaxed and in that moment of being in that situation and relaxing and having faith in a moment where it feels like there's a risk I felt the most peace and empowered I've ever I felt supercharged with energy now the reason I'm telling you the story is cuz it I was reminded of it just now I was thinking of today I went snowboarding and I was riding on the ski lift and there was a part of the ski
lift where it was like 50 ft 60 ft off the ground maybe more and I was just looking down I was like whoo if I fall that that would not be good I would probably die or something and I got that feeling again I got that feeling and then I did the same thing I relaxed I closed my eyes and I had faith and the same phenomenon happened I had the supercharge of energy the peace and and this isn't the main thing really it's this kind of applies to everything I'm just bringing up moments that
I can remember of like an extreme surrender not an extreme really I've had much more extreme surrendering moments than that but I just think there's a power in it it's it's possibly one of the deepest powers that we have access to is surrender um and really to overcome fear what does that take like what does it take to overcome fear I think the first step is to figure out what you're afraid of so for example if I'm sitting in the ski lift and I see the fall why am I scared of it what am I
scared of and I came to the conclusion that I was scared of pain now me personally I'm not scared of the unknown I'm not scared of death and I don't think I'm scared of pain anymore I don't I don't think I'm scared of anything and it feels good to be able to say that and a lot of people might doubt and say well you can sit there in your beautiful Heavenly location and say you're not scared of anything but when it comes time when when things get real do you feel fear then and I don't
think I will but if I do then I'll tell you if the moment comes about and how did I get to this moment or this place of fearlessness because it's pretty new to me and the past like it's a content continual thing like I keep having to face more and more fears I faced my own death I've faced uh many things mostly the big ones were facing my own death and experiencing surrender in various situations but I thought of a quote the other day and it says the end of fear is the beginning of Freedom
the end of fear is the beginning of Freedom so I can't really tell you how to get rid of your fear because I don't know all I know is that you can and I know that I did and how I did it was by facing my fears and I know that sounds simple because it is but it's very powerful and I think the world would be a better place if all of us overcame fear if all of us reached a place of fearlessness and freedom within ourselves if I'm a little shaky it's cuz it's so
cold it's very cold anyway for the past week or so I keep telling myself I'm done being afraid and it's not even like it doesn't even really feel like a choice in a sense it kind of just feels like I'm done like I'm tired of it like I'm I've used up all my fear like I just I don't have it in me I don't have the energy to be afraid of anything I keep telling myself I'm done I'm done with this I'm done being afraid I'm done and the more I let go in a sense
the more I trust the higher order of things the the plan I like to call it which I have had glimpses of I have seen glimpses of the plan the perfect plan the the blueprint behind this whole experience if you will and I'm just trusting it it's an irrational it's irrational for me to trust it because it's no I have no proof I don't have I don't have the manuscript I can't pull out a paper written by God that says everything's going to be okay I don't have any guarantee that everything really is okay but
something within me tells me that everything is okay there's a little voice and I trust it and I'm going to keep trusting it cuz I have a feeling that the more I trust that everything will be okay the more I let go of my fear of my anticipation and allow myself to freely enjoy the present moment for no reason other than because it feels right and I have a feeling that the more I do that the more it's going to open up the more I trust the more it trusts me the more worthy in a
sense I will be of everything ever but to become worthy you have to earn the spot it's like growing up but some people never really grow up some people they they stop developing but I don't intend on that but here's the thing it's not I'm not forcing it I'm not brute forcing trying to just grow grow learn learn no it's actually the opposite I'm Letting Go releasing and as I release and let go I find an openness which in turn invites a space for growth creates a space for growth but it's not effort there is
no effort which might sound counterintuitive so I am manifesting with my voice with my intention with my energy with my words with this present moment all of the universe has come together for this moment right now for me to say that I am beckoning forth an era of freedom of fearlessness of openness if not just for myself but for everybody that I can influence because I find that if I go to this new realm where there's no fear where anything is possible where you can relax because everything really is okay everything really will always be
okay and everything always happens for a reason this is the existence in which I exist in which through me will create a portal for you who are you I don't know who am I I don't know but you and I can both be in this place of okayness where everything really is okay it's really okay and this is how it is now as I speak everything really is okay right now I have created it if not if I didn't create it I have found it I have pinpointed myself in this position where everything is okay
where I have no fear and where anything can happen and I have full faith that everything will happen as it should for if not me you as well right now just like that just like that the power that we both have to create and if not to create to find to magnetize ourselves to the place where everything is okay it is it's so beautiful and I'm just doing that right now as I speak here we are we're in the place right now is that not amazing that we have this ability is that is that not
beautiful that we have this ability if that's not beautiful I don't know what is maybe this view I don't know if the view is really as beautiful though anyway I'm done being afraid I'm ready to enjoy my life and I hope you feel the same so thank you for sharing this moment and I hope to see you again in the future
