There is an Orthodox priest who was teaching from this book a few months back. The “never let yourself be offended” is a game changer. It means you are accepting others judgement of you when there is in reality only One Judge we need to respond to.
2:36 You are extremely intelligent you have a very great strategic mindset brilliant people in the military & law enforcement make all the same points you are making they are very important, I love your artistic look but you would also make a hot cop if you had short hair & were clean shaven many of them are like you in disguise not all LEOS are bad many are very very deep & work very hard to focus on these ideas of "self talk" & the motivation it takes to treat others well as a way to have a good quality of life based in reality
I appreciate your example about asking questions about tasks at work- I think I'm in the process of working on not making assumptions. In the past I've definitely tried to avoid clarification based on my desire to prove to myself that I'm "smart." You know, I'm smart, surely I can figure this out on my own. But it's true, that often doesn't allow me to do my best, and it's based on all these assumptions: about myself, about the task at hand, about others' perception of myself. Thanks, definitely will be thinking about this
Coming across this video is so interesting. I literally pick up this book this morning but I have the copy in Spanish. This is more confirmation that I do need to read it .
I love this 🔥 but I feel like I can debate the topic of having to love yourself before you'll be able to lover others- I don't nessisarily think that's true, think about it you have moments in your life where you love things unconditionally while still feelin down about yourself, I don't think it's impossible for either scenario to occur, sometimes loving another awakens the flame in you too, I just don't think everyone can do it, but if ur livin in the now u gotta take in the fact that anything can happen and regardless you gotta have acceptance be the foundation of all that shit, love this vid u got dope words bruv
3:52 yes praise really means back to work but hate I disagree with this is why you need to put all your identifying data on an external drive that you regularly update: ""“The reason why I tell people to put all their records & data on a regularly updated hard drive not connected to the internet is, if all your work & identifying information is irretrievably deleted nobody will know who you are & nobody will care who you are, they will leave you for dead. Soon there will be ‘AI internet black outs’ & countless people (all classes, incomes, backgrounds, celebrities, politicians) will be 100% absolutely unidentifiable & total strangers & with literally no means of self identification, & nobody will know who they are & nobody will care. Everything they have ever done will be plagiarized & they will have zero defenses." "
