Transcripts
how many times have you been worried
about something for weeks maybe months
and this thing never ended up happening
I think sometimes we forget to remember
these things that happened in our life
right so say you had this event you were
stressed about for two 3 weeks maybe
months maybe years and then when it
finally got to that day that you were
stressing about nothing you were worried
about happen that means that you were
wasted 3 weeks whatever the time left is
Maybe even years of stress hormones
running through your body aging you
hopefully after watching this video
you'll be less likely to stress like
that right um one of the books that
profoundly has helped my life is the Dow
A ching so from the da A ching it
basically says uh the great Dow flows
everywhere all things are born from it
yet it doesn't create them it pours
itself into its work yet it makes no
claim it nourishes worlds but it doesn't
claim them right so what we what I get
from this or is or or from the Dow in
general a lot of the Dow is about uh
relinquishing your power right so the
more you relinquish your power the more
you trust others the more powerful you
actually
[Music]
become right so this makes a lot ofense
sense when you think of it in a business
sense um you know when you're trying to
control everything it can be quite
stressful so and to grow as people or as
a business we must learn to trust others
right we already do we already trust
people and everyone in society to do
their job so that we're able to do ours
we trust that the electricians work the
the you know all the different the roads
are built and and whatnot so we really
all depend on each other already so this
is actually Unity I think we're already
unified uh the only thing we really need
is is this realization of this Unity
more people need to realize this Unity
right so but when you realize this and
the more you see it and realize what
Oneness actually is uh and you're more
likely to take advantage of it or or try
and live your life in that way right so
the more we try to obtain power over the
the rest of the univ ver the more we
actually separate ourselves so we we
feel less than at one than ever when
we're trying to control something right
so to become one with the world to
become one with the universe it's a
certain level of Letting Go a certain
level of trusting the flow of Life most
of the resistance is an overactive mind
right and the and to quiet the Mind
remember to focus on elongating your
breath use uh use it like a switch to to
switch from thinking to feeling to
experience icing uh and that's going to
help you root yourself in the present
moment and yeah just I think that's one
of the hardest things for us to do is
like learn to quiet the mind and learn
to relax and learn to um be present and
presence is experiencing so where do our
decisions come from our decisions are
one of those things that make us
exhausted right so making decisions is
is what leads uh to worry so we're
always worrying from one decision to the
next we're always worrying that if we're
taking in enough data right that we're
not taking in enough data we're worried
about taking in data to make the right
decision but I find
that a after doing this long enough or
or you know just living my life all
these years it's like you you reach this
point where you realize that you could
never have taken in enough data to
actually make the right decision there's
too many things there's too many
variables uh too many variables that we
can't see right and any situation is
actually infinite really so so it's best
to trust your gut and to trust the
Universe um I know that's easier said
than done but this is what I'm doing
with this yoga studio right so I just
took it one thing at a time I I I saw um
I didn't have the money at the time when
I saw the studio uh and I I I had this
idea for hot yoga with a cold plunge and
and actually tried to get other people
to to with more experience running
Studio to to take it over and do it but
uh that didn't work out and and I just
wanted to I just had this concept and I
met the right people the right people
believed in it believed in me and they
invested in it and and here we are now
I'm just improving this Yoga Studio One
Day at a Time uh I never and
mainly one of the main points of
bringing the up is like I
have I have basically sorry text came up
I can't think but uh basically what I'm
talking about here is delegating right
so learning to delegate one thing to to
I can't run all these classes and I
actually have a photo video business
that I'm trying to run and in that I I'm
delegating people as well and and that's
what that's what it means to be more
powerful by being able to delegate
you're you're essentially making
yourself more powerful by having other
people by relying on other people and
and and and working with them and I have
this thing if you're interested comment
80% rule there's I I would love to
explain that to you if you're interested
in it send me uh yeah just comment 80%
and I'll talk to you about it and if you
want to know more about breath and
awareness comment breath and I'll get to
you on that as well so when I was
developing this this studio I couldn't
see all the possibilities you know uh I
didn't worry I just kind of took it one
thing to another don't get me wrong
there have been times where I worried
and I didn't think this was going to end
up even happening I didn't even think I
was going to be able to do the studio I
didn't think I was going to be able to
handle uh what it takes to run another
business but here I am yeah I quit
worrying and I'm I'm taking it one thing
to the next worriers are these people
that are people like that we worry when
we have way too many variables to decide
right so trust me know this from
experience we all do it's you got all
these different variables and you're
trying to make a decision um but what
I'm realizing is when we are able to
delegate authority to others and decide
to control things I mean we can we
control things it's a little more it's
more harmonious when you're able to
delegate right so this is a trait of
great businessmen they uh delegate
Authority and they trust in others to do
the work they um yeah so the Dow just if
you're not as familiar with it that is
known as and and is translated to the
way or the way of things so the more we
let go of it the more we trust it the
more you realize the Inseparable
separable identity of self and others so
in the end the greatest power comes not
from trying to hold on to control but it
the greatest power comes in letting go
in trusting others and trusting life
itself through this we can tap into a
greater energy that can guide us uh
making our lives flow effortlessly like
the great da thanks for watching and uh
