 the idea of changing my life the idea that my life is not what I want it to be that is behind why I started this channel this project to Try to find a way to make my life closer to how I want it to be how I imagine it to be and I know this is a feeling that many people have had that We sort of expect the future to be different. We have this idea of how life might be in the future But as time goes by we find that that future is not Becoming reality now, of course things will always change no matter what? but There's nothing to say that they'll change in the direction that we want and so We get time going by without things moving in a good direction and So that's when I I had to eventually Decide like if I'm going to live a life that I want I'm going to have to make deliberate actions and make deliberate changes myself and not simply trust that Whatever will happen will happen Of course, that's also part of life as well. We can't completely change everything role. It's always a mix of our own decisions and what's going on around us our situation So we can't just like program it out of nowhere out of nothing like, you know creating a fictional character You know for an imaginary world. We can't just like create everything out of nothing we have to Respond and live within the environment that we're in But Within that there's a lot of room for us to make decisions to choose how we want to live our lives and that's really the idea of this channel is to support that idea of Making changes to make our lives what we want so that's still ongoing for me and and It's been a few years now that I've had this mentality and my life has gotten better but it's still a long way to go and a lot of things that I want to to change and It's an ongoing thing to bring my life closer to what I imagine to be the life that I want So when I think about this this process, I like to think of the idea of Bending the word bending seems to fit very well. So what the idea of bending is We're moving in a certain direction. We're living a certain way and that's like it's almost like a course that run With its own momentum because there's the momentum of habit the momentum of the way. We've always done things And so that really can be imagined like we're on a course where we're moving in a certain direction There are various ways to like, you know, you have the mental experiment that's the thought experiment to you know Imagine you're somebody else and imagine there's no past and future and these different ways of kind of getting that restart and Clicking into that new way of looking at things to try to let go of that momentum And so that can be very useful But I haven't been able to just I don't find that it's I can just completely just like Snap my life into a completely new mindset a completely new direction automatically there is that momentum there and the idea of bending is that Every day we just slightly alter the course of our life. We can't make everything just change There are ways to try to jump to jumpstart that and to you know to shock the system with big changes, but overall if we just make little adjustments every day, it's like we're bending the course of our life and At first it seems to be Almost nothing. You there's almost nothing Changed and it's so difficult to bend the course when there's a lot of momentum going in a particular direction But once we start to make several of these little bends day after day then we can start to notice that we're on a slightly adjusted course and There's just something different about our lives and that becomes the new momentum that it's automatic for us to start to live in that way and Then we can just simply continue applying this idea of bending in what we think is a good direction So to help guide This movement we have some kind of a vision of the life that we want Imagine sometimes it's hard to put into words not clear mate Sometimes it just comes just these sort of sensations and just sort of ideas things that inspire us Things that we saw and we thought oh wow that I want that part of my life these kind of visions They become guides that we kind of bend towards we try to Somehow adjust something in our life to make it closer to that vision that we have and we can continue to do this every day and There are a lot of days available there. We have hundreds of days that you could say maybe even thousands of days available and If we just let them drift away, they seem like nothing But if we use them if we use each day to bend our course There's a lot that can be changed within I believe with within Months within years to make a better life So once I have this view Once I start to see things this way The other advantage is that it becomes kind of fun It becomes kind of satisfying already if you know that your life is bending you know your course is bending even if you're not living the way you want right now if you feel that you're you're bending towards something good then It's in a sense. It's all it's almost like you're already there because you already feel that you're moving towards what you want and Everything in life is about Change there's never just so sort of sitting in a permanent state And so as long as we're moving towards the good then I believe that life is good. So I'd love to hear your Perspectives on this way of looking at life
