 Even the whole society's helicopter men like dude, we helicopter ourselves. I know right and and you know, we limit like that's a whole protectionism, right? So we've been taught We teach ourselves like prepare for the worst And hope for the best That's just a level of protectionism man. You should be hoping for the best And preparing for the best that is preparing for the best is the number one form of visualization You know, you first have to see it in your mind before you see it in your life Right, whether that be good or bad if you can use this for your good That means you got to visualize it yet. We don't do that Like the way I look at the if it's raining outside bring a fucking umbrella prepare for the worst Right, but for every other thing when it comes to you everything you ever want to achieve You have to prepare for the best you have to accept that it's going to actually be coming and then of course hope for it as well And we've helicoptered herself being like I don't I don't know I don't I need to protect myself What if that doesn't happen? What if this relationship doesn't really work? What if they really don't love me? What if this what if my boss really does fire me? What if the economy does crash? What if bitcoin goes down again? What if blah blah blah? Good. Please go down We go buy it, right? But it's all that shit that we we've conditioned ourselves to protect ourselves, right? The what ifs of everything going wrong is the the same thing as a helicopter parent, right? Like I got to make sure I got to protect every angle that they don't get hurt I got to hover over them to make sure that they're capable. You know, it's funny. I asked parents What's the number one thing that you want your child to become they all say I want them to become an independent thinker I think we use this term without even knowing what it means what it means. Yes, right independently thinking means I won't conform irrespective of what my parents think or what society thinks or what my teachers think I'm not going to conform. I'm going to listen to my intuition to my heart and go for that Yet if you're hovering over them watching every step and then guiding them accordingly They'll never become an independent thinker and if we do that to ourselves will never independently think We don't understand we have the capacity of limiting ourselves so much But we also have the capacity of removing all our limitations But we have to first be aware that we've imposed these on ourselves. Of course we have yeah You know everyone falls into the hedonic treadmill too, right? And then You know afop's fable with the fox and the sour grapes And so, you know the story is the grape tries to get these sorry the fox tries to get these grapes Eventually fails and makes a narrative in his mind that these grapes are sour Yeah, right to justify the fact that he failed and so people are always justifying You know why they haven't achieved their xyz dreams or whatever And so they always carry these belief system on to others right because if they can't do it How can possibly sunny do it? No way, you know, I mean you can't do it, bro And so it's a vicious cycle and it perpetuates even worse when you hit the educational system as well like I never finished high school man. I've kicked out in grade nine I remember I was like 14 15 starting grade nine. I remember the guidance counselor reading me about something. I'm like Like what the fuck I'm making more money than all you guys. What the fuck do I need this shit for? You know and they kicked me out and never looked back. I'm barely past elementary school and so When I look at all these like systems, I'm like Like how can you sell this to people? It doesn't work Like you're you're actually selling the story of like just falling in line and Finish this degree and magic things are going to happen to you. Are you really selling that story? I've never ever met somebody who ever just Followed a linear whip pathway to success. Never. I've never met somebody who said I've did well in high school So I got in my university of my choice. So then I got my master's program So then I I got my dream job and then I got had the best life of ever No, it's riddled with insecurities because we listened to everybody else on what was right Every time that we listen to our intuition is completely illogical But the only logical thing to do is to listen to your intuition. Whether that be drop out of school That's an Aristotle said city. Oh, wow. I didn't even think I was quoting Aristotle I thought it was a sunny brim original um But in that I the way we we I think we have to like remember that it's It's not even that Success is like this up and down backwards way of achieving something I think we have to just remember that nothing is linear nothing You know crazy cool. Shit opportunities happen to you in moments that you could never even imagine right? It's like like it's like you get half halfway met by the universe in some like Beautiful mystical way that you're like shit. I didn't even expect this thing to happen and it happens, right? And that's like every single success story. That's when we're like somebody's like, yeah, I got really lucky Right. Yeah, some cool shit happened that you could never predict. That's how we define luck It's like I had no idea the shit was going to happen other than the feeling of that something good was coming Right, like that feeling of like hey something good is coming I'm putting my thumb putting my energy, right? And sometimes that feeling something good is coming is dropping out of school and many times it is like, I mean You know, it's funny because like I was talking to a parent the other day telling me like, you know They want their kids to be like then they want them going to technology like to computer sciences Because they want them to start a big texture and then that's like And then I was like, so why do they have to go to school? Right? Because the kids like, I don't need to go to school and they're like, well, you got to go to school You got to get your dream like, you know, I'm going to politely interrupt but Bill Gates dropped out Zuckerberg dropped out jobs never went If you're talking about like tech icons that you want your kid to go to me It almost makes more sense that they don't go I mean if you want to talk about the statistics of success with the money behind it This is probably more likely that if they go this route, this is another opportunity And so most people like, you know, we've been so conditioned So conditioned to think that there's one way and only one way Man, think about the pressure Right now, if you fucking don't get a decent mark in grade 12 Like you're told your life is over You're told your life is over. That's fucking crazy. You're like 16 17 years old and you're like, you're fucked You're fucked. You just fucked up everything Right? This is crazy shit. You're not fucked. You can always go back You can drop out. You can still do great things But we have told people that you are fucked And I see this I sit man like the amount of parents that tell me, you know the number one symptom that parents say They don't sleep anymore They don't sleep anymore. They're always stressed or always crying. Yeah Because we fed them. I don't know if the parents, but I know societies fed them a narrative that they're fucked Right, you don't do well in grade 12. You're fucked. What school is going to accept you? You know that emptiness, you know that feeling you know the one thing that I realized The biggest insecurity in this world is not belonging Right, you feel like you don't belong What are we telling people when we're saying, well, we need to help our kids. We need to help our society We need to help our adults feel like they belong then let's stop fucking creating exclusivity Let's stop telling people they're fucked if they don't do ab plus c Because this constant narrative that we fed each other like we fed it to each other to justify our own shitty fucking actions It's a problem that we all have to now live by and we don't understand that we impose this year after year generation after generation Hoping that it's going to somehow justify what we've done with our lives. It never does, right? That's why you know why people are attracted to entrepreneurs now Not because it's some money. It's because of the freedom That's what it's like. Wow, you got to pick your own schedule. Yeah, it's called 100 hour work weeks Yeah, but when work is love man when work is love, right? Yeah, right But like that's the difference. You get to pick your own schedule. Yeah, I do Isn't it weirder that you're asking me if I get to pick my own Entrepreneurs funny too. Like I have a good friend of mine. He's I don't like what old he's uh Experienced wisdom, you know coming up 80s And uh, you know from Europe and uh, he's like It's like this word entrepreneur is like when I was growing up everybody was that If you didn't support you and your family you pretty much You died. You didn't have food on the table. So this new High of entrepreneurship is just the natural way of living Like back in the day is like you had to farm you had to hustle yet to provide your own Crops and cattle and then maybe you traded that or sold it for some other goods within your village You know people didn't grow up and he didn't grow up in a metropolitan like maybe a village like 4 000 and the other village new people Everybody was self-sufficient. Everybody was an entrepreneur and It's hilarious. Like right now. It's we're going around full circle. That's we see the gig economy coming up You know more and more people are like, well fuck this nine of five full-time bullshit It's like if I can do my little hustle on the side and then focus on what I like to do Why not you know So like when I when I use the word entrepreneur, I like to like substitute or like just Suffer lion. Yeah, it's like regardless of what you're doing. How much money you're making It's still the responsibilities on you and that's the freedom the fact that everything's on you Like I mentioned beginning that is true freedom Yeah, then you can sit back and be like man I can design whatever the fuck I want to design think about that think about that What a beautiful way to play in life that everything is on you Yeah, you get to design your future you get to use Things that happen your past you construct the future and the reality that you want That's fucking amazing
