 So it's been about 8 months that I am running this new channel called The Journey which you are now watching and you might be already aware of that. And it's been quite the journey. It started off with me having certain ideas and intentions of what I wanted to do. I tried out different things. I started to feel like I am developing a voice and a direction for this channel. And eventually I came to some different conclusions which I already spoke a little bit about in the past couple of videos so you might know a little bit about what I'm talking about. And that's basically me coming to a conclusion that I call it I lack education. And I want to make things clear. There was a bit of a confusion in the comments section of what I mean by I lack education. I do feel like because when you say education it sounds like a degree in university. And I'm open to that a bit later in my life. I'm considering that. That's not my plan yet. But by education I mean just improvement and establishment of myself in a certain skill set and approved and valuable skill set. So I came to the conclusion that for my new goals for what I want to achieve and mostly that comes down to creating as much positive influence as I can inspiring people to be their best versions and live their lives not only for themselves but also for others. And on top of that I would encourage people to have critical thinking. So even then even here it's a bit broad you know usually when you're aiming for something and you want to make a change I'm coming to a conclusion that it's best to really narrow it down. So even there I need to put in some work. But having said that yes I came to a conclusion that if I really want to excel at this subject if I really want to create positive influence on a major level that I'm not there yet. I don't have the necessary tools I don't have the necessary information but it's not out of reach and that's the beauty of the world we live in. There's so many incredible books there's so many incredible minds who are already exploring similar fields. So why not dive into them and learn what the best of the best can offer and to see if I'll also I guess adding a skill set which is tested and approved and valuable to others and blending those two acquired knowledge acquired skill set the growth mindset and giving something incredible through that or hopefully something incredible something valuable because you know it's kind of clear cut it's it's obvious that you cannot give something you do not have and I I came to admit to myself that I'm still very much on a journey to come to a place where I could deliver something big and unique I feel I was able to do that in the martial arts journey YouTube channel just because of the conditions because first of all I did IQTO for more than a decade so I had a fair amount of knowledge and skill sets there and then I faced an unique dilemma and I explored it on record asked the opinions of experts and a lot of unique value came from the channel I believe so I personally believe so and a lot of people say that so likely it's true but now with my new goals more I most likely need I decided I it's best for me to take a step back and instead of focusing entirely myself on giving on producing content first of all to gather enough to have valuable things to say and when I came to that conclusion my initial instinct was completely stop producing any content dive into learning listening to your books nonstop talking to people who are experts of their fields of the fields which I'm interested in and which are aligned with my vision do contemplations you know just just go through courses just everything you know just just let's reach a new level and my initial instinct was entirely let go of producing any content at the moment and that's where people ask me the question they're like so Rokas remind me how do you get by financially and the answer is because it comes up so often I want to make sure I say it on record I get my main finances still from the martial arts journey YouTube channel a passive income because there's a lot of videos which went viral there and that's already quite enough to sustain me financially I'm not a big spender so that helps I also do video editing which doesn't take as much time so I have space and time on my hands and being a financial success is not my priority so my intention while I have enough money I don't have any need or drive to make more money and I can focus all my extra energy on pursuing myself pursuing to level up and knowledge and skill set and also making sure I'm a good boyfriend to my girlfriend I feel that's important as well those those I keep on to a philosophy that those need to play together so having said that that was initial my initial dry my initial instinct was to completely stop publishing videos to not waste time publishing videos but then I spoke with some people I got some comments and I thought about it myself and I thought you know maybe that's not entirely necessary maybe I don't have to completely stop publishing videos which kind of makes sense you know this channel is the journey it is my journey and I understand that me dabbling about you know my contemplations my explorations which are active they're not you know they're not kind of at the they're not at the cutting edge I'm not yet standing on the shoulders of giants I'm still climbing the giants to to get to know what's what to come to unique conclusions and unique lessons but still that process may be to some degree inspiring I still have some stories for my life to share which may be interesting sometimes I can still touch the subject of IQ to a rediscovering IQ to I can I can in I can introduce some interesting people that I meet on the way and I also thought about maybe reviewing some books because I am planning to dig in a lot of time to spend with some great books and you know no one is stopping me from just sitting down and talking to you in the camera of what I think about that book maybe recommending it maybe seeing something which you know wasn't sufficient about the book so so I am intending to tone down a little bit my production value my my my value giving so not focusing all about pushing and giving value and content but instead focusing primarily on my personal growth my personal development my my mastery of self and of various fields which includes at the moment coaching executive coaching and life coaching I have said this once in record I'll add this again I'm planning to I already am am on I'm subscribed or enlisted on a eighth month coaching course very high level based in London you know I can also share on the camera once in a while what I learned there so there might be some interesting stuff again it's not gonna be cutting-edge most likely so I'm kind of giving myself I'm saying and repeating this probably just to cut some slack and and allow myself to admit that you know I'll just play around document some things and some people might be interested to tag along this is not gonna be some major let's make let's make it big on YouTube project at least definitely not yet but who knows maybe I'll discover some interesting things on the way and once in a while I'll share them on this channel but aside that yes I want to put this on record and kind of summarize and and let you all know my intention now is to put forth the intention of studying hard reading the right books talking to the right people exploring myself getting digging deep into my own well of developing value of of of gathering and of exploring of understanding as deep as I can for a while going through the court coaching course maybe documenting this and that on the way tearing this of that story which might be useful interviewing and talking to this and that person who may be interesting to use well is not only me so kind of documenting the journey on the way but firstly focusing on my own personal growth also focusing on my relationship and yeah trusting that sooner or later I will be able to climb on the shoulders of giants and look from there and obviously realize there's more giants to climb there's always more giants to climb there's never an end to growth but hopefully reaching a place where I'll be like oh you know what I'm starting to see something which may be valuable here not only to me and we'll see what happens with that so this is an open exploration of and kind of a statement of what's my next plan for this channel for my journey things may change slightly but I'm quite convinced that this is a good way already I'm already like swallowing some books and I'm loving it it's really great to devote myself to learning new things and practicing them and and I am journey for a skill set which would be valuable and I could establish myself in some position where I could be like you know what I know this and if you want some of that let's connect up and that may very well be coaching and right now I don't really have that I dropped I kiddo I dropped in the may at the moment you know I don't have something that I can directly offer to you on a one-on-one conversation besides just my personal exploration so it would be nice to have something which is kind of set and which would be a bridge between me and you or anyone else where I could be like you know I'm pretty good at this stuff I know this stuff I can give it to you hopefully coaching will give me that first step what will be after that we'll see and yeah we'll just see how the journey rolls out from there so let me know what you think about this this mindset about this these ideas if you're interested to tag along and see what comes out of it tag along if not you know the world is free there's so much good stuff on YouTube there's so many good choices you can always choose something better something more suitable for you but that's my intention that's my plan and let's see what happens from here
