As you progress along your journey, people will begin to form opinions about you and make assumptions of you, simply for progressing, for making sacrifices and commitments toward becoming a better version of yourself.
It's unfortunate, but this is the reality.
And if we become too attached to these opinions of others, it holds us, it ties us down to the life that we chose to part from, our past life, a life of bad habits and limitations, a life of normalcy, my friend.
If you can let go of being understood, you'll be free, you see.
But it's not just about letting go of being understood.
It's about accepting everything, regardless of what it is good or bad, fully because it's part of your Holy moly.
Just a little bit too much.
But would you look at that?
I mean, Life is beautiful, man.
You know, there's ups and downs and you just got to take it one step at a time.
Everything will work out so long as you trust yourself.
You don't give up on yourself and you have faith and full belief in that you are capable of living the life that you are pursuing.
I believe in you, my friend.
You chose this path.
Don't forget that.
And you knew it wasn't going to be easy.
You knew people were going to say things about you.
You knew the world, most of the world is too scared to pursue the path that you're now pursuing.
Embrace it.
But I'm at the gym now.
We're gonna hit some chest.
And I don't even know what I hit last time.
I think I hit chest last time, but whatever.
We're gonna hit it again if we did.
It's gonna be a good workout.
And I'll see you guys in a little bit.
I got a new bottle.
Would you look at that?
Saving plastic.
Saving the world one bottle at a time.
I really wanted to talk about this topic in particular a little bit more, because a lot of people say you know, it's a common saying, be okay with being misunderstood.
But there's another aspect to this that people often overlook.
And it's not just being okay with being misunderstood because that in itself is pretty passive.
It's a passive thing.
You're just allowing other people to act as they should or act as they wish, which is good.
But what I want you to add to that is and I mentioned it earlier in the video as well We should be not only allowing what is out of our control, in this case, people's thoughts and opinions, people's judgments, the world's judgments, allowing them to be as they are, but also fully embracing them and empowering ourselves through these things.
You know when people count you out, when people tell you that you can't do something, or that you shouldn't, or that you're weird, or that you're cringe for trying too hard, or that you're going to end up like everyone else who's tried to do what you're trying to do.
Whether it's being a content creator, a streamer, an artist, a singer, a chef, whatever it is, I hope that you want to be great at whatever it is that you're pursuing, whatever your passion is.
There are going to be a lot of people including those who are close to you, unfortunately who will tell you off of this pursuing this thing.
And it's because they feel an insecurity within themselves, because they can't find the strength or the courage to do it themselves.
They can't find it within themselves to do what you're doing.
Haters, man.
They just, they're part of the process.
One thing that I'm very good at and I will give myself credit for.
I don't give myself credit for a lot of things, for as much as maybe I should, but this I will.
Anytime anyone has ever told me that I couldn't do something or that I was incapable.
I proved them wrong and I continue to prove them wrong.
The amount of people who just told me to think realistically when I told them my goals and ambitions.
The amount of people who said that I would end up just like the rest of my family.
There was no point in me pursuing these ambitious things, because the world was against me, the odds were against me.
I beat the odds and i beat the expectations of others, because expectations and the way society tells you that you should do things is not the concrete answer.
You see, the beautiful thing about life is that we can envision something anything, And we can pursue that.
And I'm a firm believer.
I am a firm, firm believer that if you have a clear vision, a clear direction, and you remove any limiting beliefs that you have and you pursue that thing fully and you are confident in yourself and in your abilities, you can do it.
And that might sound corny, but I don't care because you can do it.
Regardless of what you believe in, we're only on this earth for a finite amount of time.
You know, you only live this life once.
So it's in your best interest to live it up, man.
Live it up.
And if you have something that Fills you with a burning passion, something that makes you excited to live life.
But you're all into it.
And don't listen to some idiot who tells you anything else because they're wrong.
I started posting content less than a year ago, which still blows my mind, because in just less than a year,
I've come so far with this.
You know, I've got a hundred K YouTube plaque, which has always been a lifelong dream of mine.
I'm connecting with people all around the world on important matters.
I mean, this is life that we're talking about.
This isn't, you know, like.
This is serious and it's extremely fulfilling to me that I get to just sit and talk to you guys.
And give you guys the insight and the wisdom.
I know I'm only 23, but if you don't know my story, I've been through quite a bit.
So I feel like I have as a young adult male, who's been through a fair share of things.
I think I have a unique perspective on life.
So I want to share that, because I know that there's other people in this world who have a dream and an ambition, a vision.
But their life circumstances make it difficult for them to really pursue that fully.
I know what that feels like.
And if I listened to all the countless people that told me otherwise, that I should just play it safe and, you know, go the traditional route, just survive, because odds were against me and they were against me, you know.
But this odds thing, you know, 99 of people don't make it.
Yeah, it's because they didn't do the right thing.
If you do the right thing, you'll make it, and the right thing is believing in yourself, having confidence in your abilities And applying yourself, developing your skills and making an effort every single day to take steps closer to that dream or that ambition.
Learning from your mistakes, connecting with people, making yourself better.
You know, read a book, eat a healthy diet, exercise.
All these things count, but most people don't do them.
And that's why 99% of people don't make it.
They like the idea of this vision that they have, but they're not taking care of themselves.
They're not carrying themselves properly.
Oops, I had to clear a little bit of space on my card.
But I was saying they're not making really even a conscious effort.
Most people are just living their life on autopilot and they tell everyone about their goal or their ambition.
And when they don't do it, they get added to that statistic.
But this what we're talking about here right now.
These are the things that are going to separate you from those 99 of people.
Just by sitting here and watching these videos and consciously thinking and reflecting on how you can improve as a person.
You may view this as something little, something small, but it's not.
That's not.
That's why so many people overlook these things.
Something just as simple as focusing on the goal, focusing on how you can improve and reflecting on things.
That's already doing so much more than 99% of people.
You see how simple it is, my friend?
I appreciate your time, and I will see you soon.
