Remember Who You Are

[IvanMarinIvkovich]

I totally get you. Every word you say is my memory and experience.

[sophia11roma]

YES, this video was so helpful for me. I have been struggling with this for so long, great insight.

[MsBarefootWanderer]

I really love your videos.

Your voice makes me sleepy, but I have to fight it because I want to hear absolutely every brilliant word you speak. d:

Had a five second dream. it illustrated Steves point to me in a way that still affects me when I reconsider it.

Dream

I witnessed a beautiful child working hard in terrible conditions, wrestling in the mud with a

large rock that wouldnt budge.

Anguish began to flood my heart until

a caring, peaceful older brother appeared on the scene carrying a basket of supplies.

the child dropped the useless burdens and all sorrow turned to joy as the boy allowed the man to care for him.

[ufomofo]

Interpretation

Inner child play!

Play nice but play your heart out. Dont turn it into work! Let the joy of play be your only guide.

Have no fear and keep it fun.

Higherself (older brother) will supply you with everything you need the mpment you turn within for succour.

...thanks for the reminder Steve.

Society would fall apart... and we would have to depend more on ourselves for survival... not a bad thing if you are awake enough to fend for yourself... but most people have become sheep to the system and when the system falls apart they won't be ready for it.

heheh, i think alot of people do that...many times i try to talk about something more important than the ball game with someone, and they act like they just dont even want to spend a moment of thought that brings them out of theyr comfort zone...i think one of the great dangers we have in america (my fellow turds), is that people are so concerned with not thinking, and living in theyr comfortable, non-concerned state, that as long as they have theyr comfy chair and big tv, they could care less

[LakeGoddess77]

Thank you for the reminder :) My inner child is grateful to you and smiling.

[vagabondsteve]

@LakeGoddess77 TY, smiles back at you.

[rickgatliff]

This, like so many other videos you have made, was perfect for me and countless others. Thanks for being here, and for allowing all of this to come through you, Steve. the world is better with you in it.

[vagabondsteve]

@rickgatliff Very kind words, thank you!

[DolemiteDolemite]

Thank you, Steve. You don't know how much this has helped me.

[vagabondsteve]

It's my pleasure, thank you for your comment.

This came at the right time for me. I definitely feel the war between the "lazy" person and the responsible adult who nags to get things DONE. I realize it is in my "best interest" to take care of certain aspects of life. The child in me still "doesn't wanna." And the more I force, the more resistance I encounter. You had some good hints as to how to make chores more "fun." I will be challenged on how to make paperwork fun, but I will try. The forcing is not working well.

[HaleyMary]

great video. I think sometimes I have to remind myself to trust myself more. There have been many times when I have trusted my gut to make the right decision, but then I sometimes doubt myself even if I ended up making a good decision in the end. as far as what is right, I think people have to decide for themselves what feels right for them. :)

I really enjoy your videos. You always provoke a lot of thought. :)

[vagabondsteve]

Thank you HaleyMary your comments and continued support, it means a lot to me. I appreciate you!

Excellent! I was finished with my shift one day this week, and I was on my way home. As I drove, I thought to myself: "I normally just go home and sit on my computer. I want to be with people; do something different." So I did. I went to the mall to walk around, then spent time with a couple of friends. It opened me up, and satisfied, to some degree, my inner child. I still felt hemmed in a little, but it allowed me to move out of my head and into the world more.

[vagabondsteve]

Good idea. It's always rewarding to interrupt our ingrained behaviors. The movie "Patch Adams" is a great example of this.

[Luv4Learning]

I adore that movie :) Thank you for your videos.

[CountDOODOO]

This is good insight! I really loved listening to it. You're right, we have two sides to us: that fun, playful, yet lazy child and that mature, responsible, yet rigid adult. We should find some happy medium between the two instead of just going to either one side.

I'm trying to decide how I can relate this all back to doing my homework. Trying to think of a happy medium that'll allow me to do my homework, yet also relax a bit with it.

[vagabondsteve]

Thank you for taking the time to comment. Hope these suggestions help. Do your homework first! Get the unpleasant thing out of the way as soon as you can. Try a 20 minute on and 5 minute off schedule (or any variation). Do homework outside the house where there are less distractions. Try libraries, coffeehouses, and parks. Perfectionism is a big cause of procrastination. Practice imperfection. Have an accountability partner. Watch my "Keeping New Years Resolutions" and "Like an Arrow" videos.

[CountDOODOO]

@vagabondsteve Thanks for the advice, Steve! I'll check out those videos soon.

[betamaxdc]

I'm so tired that I for sure thought you were about to open with "Life is like a box of chocolates". ahha. great video as always man.

[vagabondsteve]

Thank you for supporting this channel.

Think win-win.--You need to go the gym but,the thought of spending an hour.Would turn you off,so create a balance.Go to the gym for the hour but bring with you yr mp3 player.That has a audiobook you have downloaded on to yr mp3. Of a subject that you love listening to or learn more about.Before you know it the hour has ended. :O)

Guess I'm lucky, coz I could never really beat the child in me out of me.
