Becoming who you know you need to become

--------------------------------

[gxmfu]

Timeless & Universal truth:

To become the person you know you need to become, do not justify your desires & beliefs, but ask instead how can we justify ourselves to truth.

“Don’t seek for everything to happen as you wish it would, but rather wish that everything happens as it actually will—then your life will flow well.”

[GreyGirl]

Reminds me of this quite beautiful prayer:
“God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.” ❤

This made me think of our friend Epictetus, who asked, "Why not try coming to terms with what you have been given?" : )

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn wrote something that brought me comfort over the past few years, perhaps for a different reason than others might despair of now. "For violence has nothing to cover itself with but lies, and lies can only persist through violence. And it is not every day and not on every shoulder that violence brings down its heavy hand: It demands of us only a submission to lies, a daily participation in deceit—and this suffices as our fealty. And therein we find, neglected by us, the simplest, the most accessible key to our liberation: a personal nonparticipation in lies."

I have a hard time accepting different things in my reality and it’s causing me the most misery. My therapist keeps reminding me of the concept of “unconditional acceptance”. Thank you for your talk, really needed to hear it. And the fact that there is no background noise or music makes it 10x better.

Accept things as they are….not as you want them to be…….one year sober yesterday. Thank you 😉

I'm living through a difficult time right now and have to keep strong because my basic instinct used to be to run away and hide from problems. I went to the forest today and had a bit of a tantrum. It's so silly when you know how things work and you're greatful for the path you went through and understand what it all was for, why it was given to you (I mean when you start to see connections). I do see reality but I have a difficulty letting go of illusion. Even if I know that it's not of value to my current life anymore, it's in the past but I don't know. Even what I cried "why can't at least some things go the way I want them to", I mean I can hear myself lol - why can't my expectations be fulfilled. In reality I haven't been comfortable the past 3 years but it was more of a discomfort-comfort. It got my health too, psychosomatic reaction. So now I'm breathing and changing the course to a more active and grounded in reality approach. It isn't easy but I'm striving for that one step at a time.

This channel is truly a gem on YouTube! Your videos are full of knowledge and wisdom, they intellectually stimulate and inspire me so much. Amongst youtubers and content creators preaching about self improvement, manifestation, chasing materialistic goals and focussing only on oneself, your videos are a breath of fresh air and they remind me of what‘s truly important in life. Wisdom, ideas and knowlegde make me feel so much richer than material things ever could and your videos remind me of the fact, that these things are not necessary, at least not necessary for gaining happiness and feeling whole. While I do believe that there is value in having goals and working hard to achieve them, I understand that the happiness resulting from achieving goals and gaining external validation is temporary and keeps you stuck in a loop of wanting more. Acceptance of what IS feels much more relieving..

i dont know if anyone has said this before, but your voice is very soothing to listen to. this video was very well done!

[mehsleepyhead]

I lowkey watch your vids every night before bed. it’s like my daily ritual now. fr, thank ya for all the vibes, convos, and deep thoughts… makes me feel like I still exist, and that there’s still reasons to wake up.

[Thepersonwhoasked-ghik]

The moment that reality become truth is only when your life walks till the end, this is not a thing to demotivate you, but makes you accepting who you are now and the reality of you in this right time and moment. You don’t need to feel bad about what is already happened, instead keep working to try align your goal with the final truth, become who you really can become, and that is me who I always wanted to become.

This is the best foreign channel I have found for 16 years. As far as I can see right now. So happy I found it. It aligns very well to the way I see the truth.

I’m enjoying the word of the week in the newsletter. I’ve started using your word of the week as our intro into our homeschool mornings. My daughter finds it interesting. Great video this morning too. Thanks

[AtticusJayvel-bmyz]

You always post at the right time. Best wishes from Singapore man!

[an.jdah]

Your words always spark deep thoughts and leave a truly positive impact. I‘m amazed by your knowledge and the way you present these ideas. It inspires me to do the same honestly— to engage in meaningful conversations that go beyond the surface and encourage deeper thinking. Thank you for sharing your wisdom! Greetings from Germany👋

The title itself just made me shiver, this will be a good one...

I just recently discover Your works. Your attainment is a kind of mixture (hence so GOOD!!) of filosophy and psychology FILTERED by Your own existencial experiences AND more, You are realy able to express it. I never learnt English so I am struggling to find the correct word instead of congrats, thank you so forth. I greatful to You. I feel You providing us a kind of teaching AND opfer. Previously i read Eckhart Tolle and ... many of spiritual teachers. But some one have to be "obsessed" and teach people (walutnaliry) and continously in the dark ages (Kali's yuga) too....

Great video. Seems like we’re taking on a different perspective on arguably a very simple topic of discussion: what it means to differentiate our expectations vs reality. And we have to apply that not only to the real world, but to ourselves. And we cannot blindly say “I am this” when in fact we are being dishonest and the truth is, we are not “this, ” and whether something can be done about it.
