I think especially nowadays a lot of us are sort of in some sort of effort to I guess develop ourselves or work on ourselves at least so we find more comfort in the world that we I guess inhabit and what I'm realizing mostly is you know your growth is always going to be uncomfortable as long as you don't give yourself room to grow I feel like giving yourself room is sort of a prerequisite to the growth that we have and prerequisite to the Comfort that you I guess experience in any situation I said it in
multiple videos but like of course if you plant yourself in the wrong spot you grow in the wrong direction or if you're not present enough to see what steps you take you'll go in the wrong direction but I feel like most of all if you don't give yourself room to grow then of course you're going to stay the same I feel like in the same way that plants are sort of subject to the the pot they are in or if they don't give themselves any room to grow they won't and I feel like it works
the same with us and I feel like that's part of the discomfort you know we're always encountering new scenarios new experiences new people new everything and if we don't give ourselves Room to Grow while experiencing all these new things and while I guess growing mentally or growing in some type of sense then it's going to feel uncomfortable I feel like our stagnation isn't where our discomfort comes from it's our lack of ability to give oursel Room to Grow within I guess our stagnation it's about broadening your perspective to com accommodate new versions of yourself and
what I mean by that is I feel like on a daytoday b basis on a very minute level maybe even a grand level we learn new things and we become new each and every day I always say he thinks the journey is over it's truly lost because I feel like every scenario that you're in every situation every person you interact with every lesson you learn contributes to who you are the law of accumulation states that each and everything tends towards what we are currently and everything that we do now tends to who we will be
in the future and I feel like unless we give ourselves a broader perspective to allow new parts of ourselves to sort of flourish and and be seen then we'll never see them I feel like if you don't give yourself audience you're always going to be stuck in that performance and I feel like that performance is what what sort of Keeps Us stagnant because we live in such a world of connotation we feel like we have to be stagnant in order to put some type of label on ourselves and I feel like when we're within that
label then of course we can be within connotation I feel like all in all it's about loving yourself while you're changing embracing some type of positivity within yourself regardless of I won't say the state of the world but regardless of the state of the self you know sometimes we're in negative heads spaces sometimes we're in negative Seasons but I feel like the only way to truly counteract the negative season is by instilling positivity in being where you are you know when I say instilling positivity I don't necessarily mean just ignore the negative aspect I don't
mean you know ignore the parts of yourself that seek all change but confront them confront them with positivity so you can Embrace more I feel like a lot of times you know we're afraid to confront the negative aspects of ourselves because they make us feel negative because that's when we truly feel that repercussion of our negativity and I feel like that's what's important because unless you can bear that negativity unless you can see the parts of yourself that seek out change they won't you you can't Embrace or grow into anything positive if you don't instill
anything now you know you can't SE what you reap if you don't sew anything and I feel like some of the sewing is just embracing who you are currently be where you are to get where you're going in this sort of way and I feel like this has sort of helped me not only just keep moving forward but keep a positive mentality I feel like all I have to really do to some degree is do my best and continue to watch your life unfold I feel like trying to play some sort of OB Observer and
a analyst and a future predictor all at once don't really work in accordance to you wanting to create something I saw a quote saying that you can't create and analyze at the same time and I feel like that's very true I feel like a lot of the stuff we do including development of the self I feel like we put it within the certain connotation before we actually get to experience it like well say oh I want to do this for myself or I want to work on this quality about myself but you know we are
to connotate oursel in a certain way that sort of stops us from actually making making that effort and I feel like what you think is what you are as long as you recognize your mind as a dominating principle you're not conscious enough to to view your thoughts like if I think of myself as impatient or think of myself as an angry person and I get into a scenario where I should be angry I'll probably get angry because I think I'm an angry person and I'm not just saying that to say that everyone's personality or characteristics
or the way they interact is is subject to the thoughts alone no of course it's a learned thing but it's a learn thing and a compounded thing via our thoughts the longer that we allow our thoughts to sort of R rampant with ourselves and don't give ourselves Room to Grow the more that stagnant thoughts will occur over and over again what isn't resolved in this way always repeats and I feel like if we want to keep repeating the same Cycles repeating the same things that sort of keep us in a stagnant place and all we
have to do is continue to do what we have been doing which is not giving ourselves Room to Grow we're always going to I feel like in some way grow from every situation and the love and care that we give to oursel during these situations and during these hardships or whatever you want to call them is what a sort of in my opinion contributes to growth in life growth in self and growth in pretty much every aspect that you can think of I feel like one of the things that I'm struggling with most of all
nowadays is not necessarily giveing myself Room to Grow but giving myself a p perspective that accommodates that growth I feel like of course yeah give yourself room to grow as and like make sure you're allowing yourself to be yourself and being able to see the parts of yourself that see God change but also recognize that you have so much potential to be so much better than what you are and that's not to say that what you are currently is a negative thing but to say that something good can always get better it's not to say
spread yourself too thin or do something overzealous I feel like self-help and self-development shouldn't be done in a way that is sort of negative to the self I feel like giving yourself room to grow is sort of opening up that door to comfort of the unknown like yeah I don't know myself in this situation but I'm not going to try to answer it for myself I'm going to go out there and find out I'm going to be an active participant in my life so I can actually experience this thing and find out the true answer
CU I feel like sometimes the very question is what takes away the answer you know we ask ourselves so many things mentally like what should I be doing what do I like to do this is that and the other without being present enough while we're doing things to determine whether or not we like them or whether or not we feel like we should be doing them that's why I feel like they importance when it comes to development when it comes to any type of self-help or self- L is always being present as a precursor I
feel like the presence that we give to life is sort of embodied within the the lives that we live and I feel like since I've been trying to be present since I've been trying to embrace some sort of present moment my life has only gotten better and it's not necessarily just because like so many more good things have happened I feel like to a great extent in all honesty Consciousness is a double-edged sword just as much as I can see the bad in things I can see the good in things and it's about making that
conscious Choice with what you see to choose a good to plant yourself in positivity so you grow in the positive way I feel like some people always wait for a certain circumstance to show them positivity or a certain circumstance or the life to change in a drastic way to start embracing the positivity in our life and I find that the only way to truly build something positive is to start where you are your if your foundation is negative then whatever you build on top of it will be negative by association that's why I feel like
it's a really raising your foundation to the point where you want you know and I think raising your foundation is really just about embracing the positivity of your character embracing the the Gratitude of of your life in general in your hands like whenever I get the opportunity to be grateful I honestly try my best to be grateful for what I do have you know you have to like where you are to get where you're going sometimes or to like where you're going cuz what I think we don't realize is that we're a part of every
situation that we encounter we're part of everything that we allow ourselves to to be within in a way and when I say you're part of a situation I don't mean you are the situation yourself I'm saying you're the reaction to the situation and if you are part of the situation at least in that regard then you have to recognize your implication your roles as it pertains to how you feel about the situation and this isn't to say like you know you're wrong for feeling some type of way about a situation but to recognize that if
there's positivity and love within you then it won't be dampened by by it this is why I feel like you have to really put yourself in to get yourself out sometimes cuz I feel like the presence and attention and affection we give to oursel is sort of exemplified in our ability to be present with the life we live I feel like some things don't take me out the present because I'm allowing myself to truly experience the moment and I think that's sort of what giving yourself room to grow is putting yourself in some sort of
uncomfortable quote unquote situations and allowing your comfort to be within yourself instead of the external world you can't control everything outside of you and I feel like to some extent what you try to control always controls you and in that same way what you run from has already caught you so I think the importance is sort of sit still with yourself and be where you are cuz that's the only place where you can truly capitalize off of anything and and grow in a way that I think is intentional like I had said previously if we
aren't present enough to to see the steps and we're likely to go in the wrong direction we're likely to run into obstacles without knowing it just because if we don't understand understand the certain implications of our actions and the certain implications of our view of oursel and I feel like your view of yourself is truly how you walk through the world you know giving yourself room to grow isn't necessarily saying like giving yourself a real amount of space it's about mental space it's about the space within you it's about allowing yourself to not necessarily act
out or act in a way that's crazy but act in new ways and experience new things I feel like some of the beauty in life is from understanding that you know you're wrong about certain things or you don't know certain things I feel like to me to accept not knowing is to open yourself to the ability to learn the second that we think that we know stuff and the the second that we're we're hard on that like oh I know myself oh I know the situation oh I know blah blah blah is the second that
we're unable to truly learn about it and of course we can know certain things acutely but I feel like when it comes to yourself he thinks the journey is over is the one that's truly lost I feel like you you can never know every single thing about yourself cuz there's always more situations there's always more things that you encounter on a day-to-day basis even if it's just waking up in a new day even it's just seeing the sunset in a different way there's always room and I feel like it's about the room that you give
to yourself to accommodate these new experiences allowing yourself to be new from day in and day out new day new me new whatever new moment new me new everything is new and I feel like embracing the newness of every moment is what sort of allows life to have its intimacy its beauty because we find that the beauty is truly vested within our ability to see it not in it it its ability to be there I feel like everything is beautiful to an extent and if we don't give oursel room to see that beauty if we
don't give oursel presence if we don't give oursel audience to see what is out there then all we're going to see is a projection of who we are and I feel like if we to some degree get uncomfortable with our stagnation then we'll start to resent ourselves to a to a small extent and we'll start to see that in the world around us and that's why I feel like so much is lost from familiarity because we get so used to the same stuff the same cycles and being the same person that we start to resent
the things that we see around us not to say that you resent them truly but to say that to some extent I think we're uncomfortable with our stagnation and it's important to sort of give yourself more life to live you know it's one thing to realize that everyone else has a complex life and it's entirely different to realize you have your own this isn't to say be selfish or be narcissistic but understand the implications and the ways at which we contribute to our undoing through our stagnation and through our inability to accommodate ourselves via our
perspective and of course there are sometimes where I feel like yeah I have stuff I need to work on yeah there's things you know I'm still reaching for but that doesn't have anything to do with the room I give give myself in terms of why I shouldn't I feel like every reason that we have to complain about the lives we live is is reason enough to give ourselves Room to Grow because it's giving you an opportunity to see the world in a different way to go about life in a way that's going to allow you
to see the things that you actually want everything that you desire is already out there it just takes your effort and intention to go out there and get it or to bring it to you or or anything in that regard it's about the presence that you give to the moment enough to actually see the things that you want you know and I feel like for me the present moment is is truly all that is and I feel like a lot of my time is spent trying to be present because being present in doing my best
or sort of synonymous being present in a way is is a great opportunity to you know be disciplined you know embrace your productivity and do all of that cuz I feel like the more we get caught in the ABS and flows of these situations in our mind the more we're taken away from what we actually can be doing for ourselves in the present moment the future doesn't start tomorrow it starts today it starts with everything that we do and everything we do matters it counts and I feel like everything this way happens for a reason
when I'm not doing so good or when things in my life aren't going necessarily the way I had planned or the the way that you know I want them to sometimes it's just a lesson to learn how to start accepting things for what they are to not necessarily detach yourself from what is but be grateful for what you currently have and focusing on what we lack we lose everything we have and we have so much we truly do in the life we live I feel like it's is worth being grateful for even in terms of
just being alive there are people in in far worse situations than than I am in of course I'm speaking from a very fortunate perspective but I feel like even in my times of U of negativity and and when things aren't going my way I feel like to perpetuate that negativity is to embrace it to a point of saying oh this is my life oh this is my experience and I feel like in that way our our life after that is catered to that experience until something is able to break us out but I I want
people to realize that we there's always a power within yourself that allows you to break that out for yourself feel like we can always be a catalyst for our own change as long as we're present enough to see the parts of oursel that are actually seeking it out um all that to say um give yourself room to grow um if you made it this far in the video thank you all so much coming up on the New Year I hope people are really trying to lock in and focus on themselves I feel like all of
us are in this this strange inter this strange period of of of time right before the new year right before we really want to start you know locking in and doing whatever but I stress the importance of locking in now and and and doing what you can with what you have so uh if you made it this far thank you if you didn't thank you anyway uh yeah keep being y'all keep being great and give yourself room to grow
