Keywords

💡Letting Go

Letting go refers to the act of releasing control and accepting the natural flow of events in life. In the video, the speaker discusses the difficulty of letting go, especially when things don't go according to plan. It is a central theme as the speaker seeks to find peace by accepting the uncontrollable aspects of life, as illustrated by the script's mention of 'learning how to let go when things get out of control'.

💡Control

Control in this context is the desire or ability to manage or dictate the course of one's life. The video explores the struggle with control, particularly when it leads to stress due to unmet expectations. The speaker's journey involves recognizing the limits of control and learning to surrender to circumstances beyond one's influence, as evidenced by the statement 'dealing with this loss of control can feel like an impossible task'.

💡Higher Power

A higher power is a concept that denotes a supreme being or force that governs the universe. The speaker grapples with the idea of a higher power, moving from childhood religious teachings to a more personal understanding of a universal intelligence. The term is used to reflect on the possibility of a guiding force behind life's events, as the speaker questions 'the possible existence of some sort of universal intelligence'.

💡Coincidences

Coincidences are events that occur together in a seemingly related way by chance. The video discusses the speaker's experiences with coincidences that feel meaningful and significant, leading to a belief in a higher intelligence. The script provides examples such as 'the first tweet I saw was thoughts are not truths', which the speaker interprets as more than mere chance.

💡Self-Improvement

Self-improvement is the process of enhancing one's knowledge, skills, or personal development. The speaker mentions self-improvement in the context of recognizing unproductive habits like playing video games excessively. The concept is tied to the speaker's internal conflict between indulging in immediate pleasures and striving for long-term betterment, as noted when the speaker says 'like for instance I've been playing a ton of video games lately'.

💡Acceptance

Acceptance is the act of embracing or acknowledging the reality of a situation without resistance. The video emphasizes acceptance as a key to inner peace and personal growth. The speaker learns to accept aspects of life and self that were previously resisted, including feelings and habits, as part of the natural progression towards self-improvement, as indicated by 'it's best to surrender to that version and accept the experience as the perfect thing to be doing right now'.

💡Consciousness

Consciousness in the video refers to a level of awareness or mental state that influences one's perception and reality. The speaker's friend, Danny, talks about raising consciousness as a life goal, which the speaker initially finds abstract but later relates to the idea of being more attuned to life's signs and one's inner guidance. The term is used in the context of spiritual growth and personal evolution, as seen in 'trying to raise his Consciousness'.

💡Surrender

Surrender is the act of yielding to a force or agency greater than oneself. The video's narrative revolves around the concept of surrendering to life's flow and the universe's guidance. The speaker's conversation with Danny leads to a deeper understanding of surrender as not a sign of weakness but as a form of trust in a higher intelligence, as reflected in 'surrendering to the flow of life'.

💡Guilt

Guilt is a feeling of responsibility or remorse for some offense, crime, or wrongdoing. In the video, the speaker discusses the guilt associated with certain activities like playing video games, which are perceived as detracting from self-improvement. The concept of guilt is explored as a barrier to acceptance and a source of internal conflict, as the speaker mentions 'the guilt surrounding the experience of wanting to play video games'.

💡Free Will

Free will is the power of making choices that are neither determined by natural causality nor predestined by fate or divine will. The video touches on the tension between free will and the idea of a higher power guiding one's life. The speaker concludes that while life presents opportunities, it is the individual's free will that decides the response, as discussed in 'I still very much feel in control of my future and what I decide to do'.

play00:00

one thing that I've always had trouble

play00:01

with especially when I spend too much

play00:03

time focusing on a tiny screen that

play00:04

feeds me the most outrageous 30-second

play00:06

memes is learning how to let go when

play00:09

things get out of control or worse when

play00:11

they are in control but I can't accept

play00:13

what that control is I set out a plan

play00:15

for the day based on how much time I

play00:17

have available and I tell myself okay

play00:19

this is how the day is going to go then

play00:21

either some unfortunate Road bump call

play00:23

that I remembered I have scheduled or

play00:25

laziness kicks in and the day ends

play00:27

completely unaligned with how I

play00:28

envisioned it ending dealing with this

play00:30

loss of control can feel like an

play00:31

impossible task especially because our

play00:33

brains have been designed to seek safety

play00:35

and certainty whenever they can but all

play00:37

it takes is the right reframe to set

play00:39

your mind to peace almost all the time

play00:42

and I think I discovered that reframe

play00:44

just the other day I've recently been

play00:46

juggling with my thoughts surrounding a

play00:48

higher power I went to church as a

play00:49

little kid due to my parents and the

play00:51

Catholic school that required us to

play00:52

attend but I never really felt the

play00:54

presence of a God in my life however the

play00:56

older that I get the more I feel like

play00:58

there's just too many unexp explain

play01:00

coincidences that have happened to deny

play01:02

the possible existence of some sort of

play01:04

universal intelligence by the way you'll

play01:06

be hearing me say terms like God the

play01:08

universe Creator and higher intelligence

play01:10

and I just want to clarify that when I

play01:12

say these things they all basically mean

play01:14

the same thing my Evolution as to who

play01:16

and what God is has taken on several

play01:18

different forms over the years it

play01:20

started with the potential man in the

play01:22

sky Theory as a kid which I could never

play01:23

fully get behind then evolv to everybody

play01:26

and everything is God when I started

play01:28

studying Eastern religion and philosophy

play01:30

in college and now well I don't know

play01:34

that's what I'm trying to figure out

play01:35

looking for more answers and using this

play01:37

opportunity to meet with someone who

play01:38

always puts me in a good mood I decided

play01:40

to go on a walk on Christmas day with my

play01:42

friend Danny Miranda Danny is a firm

play01:44

believer of God and spirituality and

play01:46

he's one of the best podcast

play01:48

interviewers in the world so he's a

play01:50

master at listening and being able to

play01:52

ask the questions that you were unable

play01:54

to access in your own psyche to

play01:56

coordinate our walk I asked him what he

play01:58

was doing on Christmas Day and he

play01:59

responded with surrendering to the flow

play02:02

of life I chuckled and even replied with

play02:04

the haha reaction on iMessage but I knew

play02:06

I wanted to bring up why that was his

play02:08

immediate answer as we walked along the

play02:10

dirt trail with the reflection of the

play02:11

bridge above our heads glimmering in the

play02:13

water I explained to him my confusion

play02:15

you know dude I said I've had times

play02:17

where I felt connected to everything and

play02:19

I do find that it's very hard to believe

play02:21

all of this is just random nothingness

play02:23

but I can't seem to get behind the whole

play02:25

idea of going to church and praying up

play02:27

to the sky like someone else is

play02:29

responsible for what I do I understand

play02:31

he said can you give me some examples of

play02:33

the types of coincidences you're talking

play02:35

about maybe that'll help I scanned my

play02:36

mind for memories in which I had this

play02:38

feeling then replied well for instance

play02:40

just the other day I had all these

play02:42

negative thoughts swarming around in my

play02:44

mind stuff like why did you waste so

play02:46

much time playing video games you're

play02:47

wasting your potential maybe this person

play02:49

doesn't like me as much as they say they

play02:51

do because they're not texting me back

play02:52

right away and then the instant I pulled

play02:54

out my phone and opened Twitter the

play02:56

first tweet I saw was thoughts are not

play02:59

not truths it was exactly what I needed

play03:02

to hear almost like somebody was

play03:04

listening to me and the amount of small

play03:05

coincidences that have happened in my

play03:07

life like that have probably surpassed

play03:09

the limit where we can continue labeling

play03:11

these things as just coincidences weird

play03:14

stuff like that it just happens all the

play03:16

time and it's the same thing with my

play03:18

audience as well very frequently I get

play03:20

comments like how did you know this was

play03:22

exactly what I needed to hear or how did

play03:24

you know I was struggling with this

play03:25

exact thing right now and apart from the

play03:27

very obvious answer that human beings

play03:29

have so SAR struggles it's the amount of

play03:31

times in which the perfect information

play03:33

and answers and signs get presented at

play03:36

the perfect time for myself and others

play03:38

that makes me feel like something Beyond

play03:40

time and space is going on here and then

play03:42

there's the times I've done psychedelics

play03:44

I remember when I went to a hiking trail

play03:46

with my friends after taking shrooms I

play03:48

looked up at the structures of the

play03:50

branches on the trees and all I could

play03:52

think about was how closely they

play03:53

resembled the nervous system in our own

play03:55

bodies in that moment it felt as though

play03:58

I was an extension of the trees and

play04:00

everything else in the natural world so

play04:02

I guess that's what I mean by feeling

play04:03

the sense of coincidence that isn't

play04:05

really coincidence but I do admit that I

play04:08

still struggle with this the majority of

play04:10

the time surprisingly Danny said oh yeah

play04:13

me too man I'm still a human being I

play04:15

think it's more about doing the things

play04:17

that make you feel that presence that

play04:18

you're describing more what do you feel

play04:21

are the biggest things blocking you from

play04:23

being open to that experience a pause

play04:25

was taken during the conversation as I

play04:27

stared out onto the lake and the sunset

play04:29

p roting over the leafless trees I guess

play04:31

for me it's just about not being able to

play04:34

accept the things outside of

play04:35

self-improvement that I know aren't

play04:37

doing me any good like for instance I've

play04:38

been playing a ton of video games lately

play04:41

and I know that I could be doing more

play04:42

beneficial things with that time and

play04:44

reaching a higher version of myself but

play04:46

that is a part of myself that I just

play04:49

find I keep coming back to this is when

play04:51

Dany provided his first reframe to me he

play04:54

said to me what if it's the guilt

play04:56

surrounding the experience of wanting to

play04:57

play video games and not the video games

play05:00

itself that is the reason why you aren't

play05:02

at your highest version it was something

play05:03

that I intuitively felt deep down but

play05:05

hearing someone else say it really

play05:07

solidified the benefit of this way of

play05:09

thinking there was a period of time

play05:11

where I felt no need to play a lot of

play05:12

video games and this was primarily when

play05:14

I started taking YouTube and my business

play05:16

seriously and I think that knowing I was

play05:18

once someone who worked way longer hours

play05:21

than they do now along with the general

play05:23

consensus in the self-improvement

play05:24

community about video games made me

play05:27

reluctant to surrender and accept this

play05:29

part of myself but like I've stated in

play05:31

other videos different seasons in your

play05:33

life are going to require a different

play05:34

version of you and the universe is

play05:36

naturally going to bring about a certain

play05:38

version of you best fit for That season

play05:40

our initial reaction to that version of

play05:42

ourselves might be met with scorn and

play05:44

resentment after all we want to be in

play05:46

control of our lives and I believe that

play05:48

everyone should take a sense of

play05:50

accountability in agency over one's life

play05:53

I think that's necessary to living a

play05:55

great life but in this specific case

play05:57

scenario the scenario in which you can

play05:59

accept C that you have some hobby or

play06:00

activity or other personality trait

play06:03

because it isn't directly aligned with

play06:04

how you think your life should be right

play06:06

now it's best to surrender to that

play06:09

version and accept the experience as the

play06:11

perfect thing to be doing right now and

play06:13

this goes for feelings of guilt fatigue

play06:15

anger resentment or any other negative

play06:17

emotion you think you shouldn't be

play06:19

feeling right now you know when I think

play06:21

about why I'm drawn to certain things or

play06:23

people or why I was predisposed to these

play06:26

things since I've been born we could

play06:28

science the out this right we could

play06:30

say something like oh it's because I

play06:32

have these types of jeans and it's

play06:33

because I consumed this type of stuff

play06:35

and I hung around with these types of

play06:37

people and that all shape me into who I

play06:39

am but there's still that little sense

play06:42

of mystery in there and after all why

play06:44

did I start to consume this type of

play06:46

thing or start to hang around with these

play06:48

types of people or have the experiences

play06:50

that I had in the first place like what

play06:53

started the initial push to those things

play06:56

that's what I mean when I say that right

play06:58

now you should surrender rer and accept

play07:00

what type of life you feel deep down

play07:02

should be enacted upon even if it's not

play07:05

what everyone else thinks is best for

play07:07

you and that's what I mean when I say it

play07:09

feels like there's some sort of creator

play07:11

that knows what's best for me better

play07:12

than I do and this Creator makes me more

play07:14

inclined to see certain signs and act

play07:17

upon certain things the common argument

play07:19

against what I've said here would be if

play07:21

the universe really did want us to

play07:22

surrender to it then why does that

play07:24

surrendering often lead us to naturally

play07:26

gravitate towards things that are

play07:28

clearly not good for us wouldn't the

play07:30

universe always want everyone to be the

play07:31

most happy fulfilled productive version

play07:33

of themselves if it was really that

play07:35

intelligent for example I feel like I've

play07:37

been giving into not only video games

play07:40

more recently but also certain lustful

play07:42

activities and honestly my attention

play07:44

span feels worse than it was before so

play07:47

why would I ever surrender and accept

play07:50

all these things that are producing no

play07:52

positive outcomes for me and my answer

play07:54

to this is because I trust myself and

play07:57

this Universal intelligence I know there

play07:59

will come a time where I turn away from

play08:01

these things more yet again I know I

play08:03

will be pushed to laser in my focus have

play08:05

less desire for lustful activities and a

play08:08

need to play video games exactly when

play08:10

it's appropriate for me to stop doing

play08:11

these things as much and at the same

play08:13

time if I really examine all aspects of

play08:15

my life a lot of important things that

play08:18

have improved my life have been going on

play08:20

while those negative things are going on

play08:21

I've started running once or twice a

play08:23

week consistently for a couple months

play08:24

now and as a result I'm the most

play08:26

athletic and functional I've ever been

play08:28

since I was a teenager my friendships

play08:30

have also felt much stronger too

play08:32

recently because I felt more drawn to

play08:34

wanting to see people more often rather

play08:36

than work so hard often times it feels

play08:38

like everything's going to when you

play08:40

aren't getting the version of yourself

play08:41

that you thought you should be getting

play08:43

but if you really look at yourself

play08:45

you'll see you're almost always becoming

play08:47

the exact person you need to be right

play08:50

now all it takes is for you to start

play08:52

accepting that person more so at the

play08:54

very least if you can't fully accept the

play08:56

ideas I'm presenting here which would be

play08:59

pretty ironic by the way just consider

play09:02

this what if you are the exact version

play09:04

of yourself that you need to be right

play09:06

now even though every time I look back

play09:08

on those previous versions of myself I

play09:11

completely understand why that version

play09:12

of myself had to exist at that certain

play09:15

point in my life I think a lot of people

play09:17

might be asking themselves why they felt

play09:20

that every single version of themselves

play09:22

so far has felt so shitty and while the

play09:24

acceptance of who you are right now

play09:26

despite all your flaws insecurities and

play09:28

bad habits is part of that feeling of

play09:30

shittiness I also think you need to

play09:32

understand that the Universe reflects

play09:34

back at you the level of Consciousness

play09:36

you are currently occupying as we

play09:38

continued on in our walk Dany kept

play09:40

reiterating his current life goal of

play09:42

trying to raise his Consciousness now

play09:44

for someone like me who tends to stay

play09:45

away from the new age spiritual

play09:47

buzzwords like Consciousness vibration

play09:50

and manifestation I was initially

play09:53

skeptical about what he was saying here

play09:55

but I did inquire about the meaning

play09:57

behind that sentence when he started to

play09:59

explain this concept he referenced this

play10:01

chart which I've seen multiple times on

play10:02

the internet which claims to map out the

play10:04

different levels of consciousness and

play10:06

the corresponding numbers to it the

play10:08

number is supposed to represent the

play10:09

frequency you are on and the names of

play10:11

each level are represented by nouns used

play10:13

to describe different mental and

play10:15

emotional states where shame is at the

play10:17

bottom and Enlightenment is at the top

play10:20

I've always shied away from viewing this

play10:21

chart at face value cuz like who made it

play10:24

up what does it even really mean and how

play10:26

do you figure out what frequency you're

play10:29

at at all it's it's just too much for me

play10:31

but if we throw away the ultra spiritual

play10:34

aspect of this chart I think it's just a

play10:36

really good visual representation of how

play10:38

the different types of feelings you

play10:39

exhibit the most affect how your reality

play10:42

will play out take a good look at that

play10:44

chart and ask yourself which of these

play10:46

emotions you feel the most on a daily

play10:48

basis if you are consistently Desiring

play10:50

things regret your past and are anxious

play10:52

about the future feel intense guilt kind

play10:55

of like how I felt guilt over playing

play10:56

video games and think everything is

play10:58

hopeless

play10:59

what the universe pushes you to do or

play11:01

the signs it shows you are going to be

play11:03

extremely different from those who have

play11:05

been practicing the nouns higher up in

play11:07

that list really simply put negativity

play11:09

attracts more negativity and positivity

play11:11

attracts more positivity and even when

play11:14

negative things do happen which they

play11:16

will to all of us no matter what level

play11:17

we are at the severity of the negative

play11:20

things and the perception of these

play11:21

things will be that of love and

play11:23

acceptance to the person that has

play11:25

reached those higher levels that

play11:26

shouldn't really be controversial now

play11:29

the reason I bring this part of the

play11:30

story up is because pretty high up in

play11:32

the chart is the central lesson of this

play11:34

video acceptance but the reason I don't

play11:36

like to view this chart as a way to

play11:38

ascend each new level like you must

play11:40

Reach This level in order to reach the

play11:42

higher level is because I think that

play11:45

acceptance should be the first thing on

play11:48

that Ascension in order to get to the

play11:50

higher levels I think that's the first

play11:51

thing you should strive for and to aim

play11:54

for before you can reach any of the

play11:56

other positive nouns before you can even

play11:58

start to notice the signs that are

play12:00

pushing you into the person you're meant

play12:01

to become you have to accept the fact

play12:03

that right now you are everything you

play12:06

need to be to become that person and let

play12:08

me repeat that because I know these

play12:10

important sentences can go over your

play12:12

head when you're flying through this

play12:13

video you are the exact person you need

play12:15

to be right now to become a greater

play12:18

version of yourself it doesn't matter if

play12:20

who you are right now eats five bags of

play12:22

chips a day binge wanes Netflix and

play12:24

thinks they're ugly and stupid and has

play12:26

no purpose this version of you needs to

play12:28

be accepted

play12:29

in its entirety if you want to actually

play12:31

start making progress and be receptive

play12:33

to the signs that are trying to point

play12:35

you in the right direction otherwise

play12:37

you'll try to avoid those signs or just

play12:39

be blind to them and when things go to

play12:41

absolute when nothing is going as

play12:43

planned when you have the worst day of

play12:45

your life when your friends roast you

play12:47

when you have no friends when you feel

play12:48

hopeless you must accept that something

play12:51

out there might actually know what's

play12:53

best for you better than yourself and by

play12:55

surrendering to that idea no thoughts

play12:58

feelings or outcomes become wrong they

play13:00

simply just become what is what I found

play13:03

is that the more that you do this the

play13:05

more attuned your senses are to noticing

play13:07

these little coincidences and feelings

play13:09

that are trying to nudge you to the flow

play13:11

of life that is most in accordance with

play13:13

this higher intelligence or what one

play13:16

would call their soul perhaps but it's

play13:18

also about what you do and consume on a

play13:20

daily basis and not just think that

play13:23

allows you to trust what happens to you

play13:25

and not get so emotionally swayed by it

play13:27

much easier the modern world has been

play13:30

intentionally or unintentionally I don't

play13:32

really know designed to disconnect you

play13:34

from leaning into this trust and feeling

play13:36

connected with everyone and everything

play13:38

and a huge part of that is due to the

play13:39

food we eat I can tell you that as soon

play13:41

as I started to shift my diet from ultr

play13:44

processed foods to more organic Whole

play13:46

Foods taking vitamins prebiotics and

play13:49

probiotics I felt lighter and those

play13:53

signs and coincidences that I've been

play13:54

talking about became much more

play13:56

noticeable and that is why I want to

play13:57

talk to you about something that has

play13:59

been helping with my gut health

play14:00

specifically which is the DS1 daily

play14:03

symbiotic from today's sponsor seed you

play14:06

might have heard on the internet of your

play14:08

gut being referred to as your second

play14:10

brain and that's because the gut has the

play14:12

same chemicals and cells as the brain to

play14:14

help us digest and to alert the brain

play14:17

when something is wrong so when you take

play14:18

care of your gut properly you're much

play14:20

more in tune with the signs that this

play14:22

Universal intelligence gives you which

play14:25

is otherwise referred to as your gut

play14:27

instinct I've talked about the concept

play14:29

of your gut instinct and how it can be

play14:31

improved over time in previous videos

play14:33

and one of the ways to do that is

play14:34

through taking something like the DS1

play14:37

from seed it contains billions of little

play14:38

gut bacteria of both prebiotics and

play14:41

probiotics that help you break down your

play14:42

food better strengthen the gut barrier

play14:45

and support healthy brain function since

play14:47

I started taking seed almost every day

play14:49

for a couple months now I've noticed a

play14:50

significant difference in the quality of

play14:53

my stool yes I know it's gross to think

play14:55

about and the clarity of mind I've

play14:56

gotten from getting in those healthy

play14:57

probiotics has been been super

play14:59

beneficial and given me a bit more

play15:00

energy look I'm not saying that you

play15:03

viewing this right now is a sign from

play15:05

the universe for you to start taking

play15:07

seed but I'm also not saying that so if

play15:10

you're interested in supporting your

play15:11

digestion your second brain and getting

play15:13

more in tune with what your body and

play15:15

mind wants then you can click the first

play15:18

link in the description if you use the

play15:20

code co25 at checkout you're going to

play15:22

get 25% off your order as we finished

play15:25

the walk going over the same Bridge we

play15:27

started under I still had some lingering

play15:29

skepticism regarding the idea of

play15:31

surrendering all the time Danny said to

play15:33

me I don't even feel like it's really me

play15:36

that's making these podcasts I just feel

play15:38

like the Observer of it all and while I

play15:40

understood the sense of complete

play15:42

Detachment from one's ego he was

play15:44

describing I responded with see that's

play15:47

what I can't get behind I feel like

play15:48

saying some higher power is the one

play15:51

that's creating the flow of my existence

play15:53

completely discredits the Free Will and

play15:55

hard work I've actively decided to use

play15:57

to get to this point in my life I hate

play15:59

the idea of being a puppet just being

play16:00

thrown around from one activity and

play16:02

feeling to the next I know I can control

play16:05

what direction my life goes to some

play16:06

extent and giving that up means I'd be

play16:09

giving up my free will we went back and

play16:11

forth until a consensus was reached

play16:13

which was a consensus I've thought for a

play16:15

while now while there will always be

play16:17

unpredictable forces at play and you can

play16:19

call them chance or luck if you prefer

play16:21

that over God you can choose what you

play16:24

decide to do with the cards you are

play16:26

dealt to me it's kind of like a two-step

play16:28

process one this thing happened and if

play16:30

it really did happen that means that

play16:32

some higher power or life knows

play16:34

something that I don't right now in

play16:35

order for this to happen and I accept

play16:37

that reasoning and two I'm going to use

play16:40

the free will I have to decide what to

play16:42

do and how to react to whatever

play16:44

opportunities good or bad that life or

play16:47

the universe or God has thrown my way

play16:49

there are plenty of things in my life

play16:51

that I still can't explain no matter how

play16:54

hard I try to logically work through

play16:56

them and I've learned that I I don't

play16:58

always need to know why I just need to

play17:00

have faith that this experience is

play17:01

trying to show me something and that it

play17:03

will start and end at the exact time it

play17:06

needs to it may not always be when I

play17:08

want it to or rarely when I want it to

play17:10

but that's the part of my life that I'm

play17:12

trying to relinquish more control over

play17:15

I'll give you one last example here to

play17:17

show what I mean more clearly when you

play17:18

have a virus in your body is it you

play17:21

that's fighting it off well no your body

play17:23

automatically defends itself and knows

play17:25

what to do in other words your body has

play17:27

a higher intelligence than your

play17:29

conscious self when it comes to

play17:30

illnesses and despite that experience

play17:33

being very unpleasant because your body

play17:35

makes you achy gives you chills and a

play17:37

cough it's a necessary experience in

play17:39

order to eventually become better again

play17:41

and more able to fight off viruses in

play17:43

the future in the same way the universe

play17:46

automatically pushes you towards certain

play17:48

directions and experiences and even

play17:50

though the universe may not be conscious

play17:52

of itself it sure as hell knows a lot

play17:55

more than you do because it's been

play17:56

around for a lot longer than you so just

play17:58

like when you're trusting your body to

play18:00

fight off a virus on its own you must

play18:02

trust that what is happening to you in

play18:05

the moment will eventually lead to a

play18:07

higher more capable version of yourself

play18:09

and in the same way that you can

play18:10

consciously feed your body fruits

play18:12

vegetables and symbiotics while you're

play18:14

sick in order for it to unconsciously

play18:16

work better to fight off the virus you

play18:18

can consciously make more positive

play18:21

decisions and actions surrounding the

play18:23

things that the universe is inclined to

play18:25

give you to make them start working out

play18:26

in your favor more often in simpler

play18:28

terms when the universe presents you

play18:30

with something accept it see it as

play18:32

necessary and make the most of it since

play18:34

our chat on Christmas Day surrendering

play18:36

to what I once perceived as unnecessary

play18:39

and unfavorable has become so much

play18:41

easier to achieve and I don't feel like

play18:43

a puppet being thrown and pulled into

play18:45

different directions by the Universe I

play18:47

still very much feel in control of my

play18:49

future and what I decide to do but now I

play18:52

see no such wrong experiences feelings

play18:55

or thoughts I am more connected to the

play18:57

things that my intelligent body which

play18:59

knows a lot more than me in many ways

play19:02

wants me to gravitate towards so many

play19:04

bad unfortunate things have happened

play19:06

over the years but I now realize that

play19:08

every experience I've gone through has

play19:10

led me to be the exact person I need to

play19:12

be right now and at the right time and

play19:15

at least in that sense I have started to

play19:17

get out of my own way and

play19:20

surrender I want to give you some other

play19:22

resources that I've used to make

play19:23

surrendering accepting and letting go

play19:26

much easier these are basically the

play19:27

habits and actions that I do apart from

play19:30

the mindset shift that I explained in

play19:32

this video it is a Google doc Linked In

play19:34

the description below it's free resource

play19:36

play19:38

play19:43

play19:48
