Interview with my younger self about what self determination really means

Hey difference makers. This is a younger version of Bunny Young here, here to share with you about self determination. The things I've realized and believe in myself to become the different maker and the world saver that I grow up to be. And one of those amazing things and being able to bring my future self here for this interview. Are you ready?

Hey.

Wow, you're the cold.

Thanks.

Have you always been self determined?

There's definitely times when I haven't been as determined in myself. But spoiler alert, once you have kids, my determination in becoming pretty jacked kind of went out the window and my perspective has changed to making sure that each and every day I'm making the world a better place. So I think that your determination and your self determination, that's why it's called that is because it comes from yourself. So it's really about committing yourself to a belief or a way of life that you want and making sure that everything else in your life aligns with that and then letting nothing come in the way of that. And so now I wake up each and every day determined to make the world a better place for my kiddos.

Without giving up too much information.

We.

Don'T want to alter the future or anything. How can I, we us have more self determination?

So that's a really great question, Bonnie, but it really is called self determination for a reason because it starts within and it's all about not necessarily having more or less self determination, but about having more self awareness about what matters to you and once you know what matters to you and once you have that determination in order to make the world a better place or achieve something in life or have some kind of impact on the world. Determination is about not letting anything, anyone, any being impact that results. And that's really why it's called self determination is because one, it comes from within yourself. Second is its determination. It's not called semi commitment, it's called determination. So it's all about making sure that you are absolutely 100% committed to and determined to make this a reality. Self determination truly does start in the mind. There will be a ton of people along the way that will try to deter you. Why it's called self determination because it does truly come within. Like I said, it starts in the mind and it can start from something as simple. Simple as right now, today, taking out a piece of paper and writing down something like today I will or today I'm going to start or today I will become or I just I will become and having that go ahead, do it right now, today, and see in the future what you can do that will be able to impact that goal that you've set. Set and you're determined to make happen. And the first tiny little step that you can take today in order to make that happen, whether it's making the world a better place or whether it's just becoming a better cook, take that piece of paper and get started today. There's a saying that the best time to plant a seed is 100 years ago. The second best time to plant a seed is today. And so that piece of paper represents planting that seed. And that seed is where your self determination really grows from.

Well, I know I gotta let you get back to the future. So are you ready for me to send you back?

Yeah, I guess I'm ready to go back. But without altering the space time continuum because I promise I won't do that. I do want to tell you, younger Bunny, two things. One is don't grow up too quickly. And the second is if and when you ever decide to have babies, I want you to know that they are the most truly amazing, incredible beings on the face of this planet. And some of the best work you have truly ever done with your life.

Well, I hope that you feel determined to go make the world a better place and future Bunny did delete a paper? Say like comment subscribe and don't miss out on the ebook link in the description. What's an ebook? Well, I guess I should go climb the tree.
