Your "Identity" is a Lie that Keeps You Small

A motivational YouTube talk urging viewers to change their self-identity to unlock desired outcomes. The speaker frames two choices—stay in a limiting, fear-based identity or intentionally adopt a new embodied identity aligned with one’s dreams—then outlines why identity is constructed from inherited beliefs and offers a visualization/meditation practice and practical prompts (e.g., designing an ideal day, income goals) to embody the new self.

Hi, friends, welcome back to the channel. Anytime I've leveled up in my life and had significant transformation, it's because I've gotten this into my brain and I've accepted this as a fact and as a truth. And I've implemented what I'm going to share with you today in this video. So what we're going to talk about today is the fact that you cannot experience a reality until you are the version of you living in that reality. This is good news because nothing is actually off limits for you. Whatever you want. If you want a better job, if you want a new house, if you want a better relationship, if you want a pile of money, if you want a holiday, a trip, anything that you want is not off limits for you. You can have whatever you desire. You can have any profession, any version of life that you wish and that you can imagine. You can have it materially in your life. You can live it in lifetime, a thousand percent, you can. The only thing that's actually limiting you in this life is your identity. Think about it. If someone else can live the life that you want to live, why can't you? Because of who you think you are. Because you think you specifically can't do it. Because of whatever special traits or characteristics or traumas or life experiences you've had experience. It makes you in particular unqualified to have what you want in this life because you don't think you deserve it. All of these things feed into your identity. And your identity is the only thing stopping you from living the life that you want to live. Which is really, really good news. Because your identity is something you can change. But before we get into that, and before we say goodbye to your old self and introduce the version of you who's living your dream life, I want to first just give you a really harsh truth and a little bit of a wake up call. You can watch this video, you can listen passively while you cook your dinner or cook your lunch. You can make your sandwich, you can sit down, you can start scrolling, you can start watching tv and you can forget all about it and that's fine. Or you can allow this to be a split in this timeline. You can allow this to be a time, a point in time where you literally shift and quantum shift into another dimension and become another version of you from this day going forward. And the rest of your life will change forever. That is a decision that you make. It's not something that happens passively. It's something you decide and you commit to doing. Before you finish this Video. So I want you to really get into your head. You've got two roads before you. Option A is you keep going down the same road that you've been going down for your whole life. That the known road, the comfortable road, the road where you are maybe dissatisfied with everything in your life and nothing you want is really coming towards you, but it's known suffering. So you think it's better and you think it's safe, which is a false perception, by the way. So you're just going to keep going down, keep firing the same neural networks, keep showing up as the same version of you and keep living the same life. And I want you to just know and consider, how is that going to feel for you if you remain the exact same same for the next year, for the next five years, until the day that you die? What does life look like for you if that's the case? What is actually going to happen if you don't decide to really change something and change who you are and change how you're showing up in the world? What is your life going to look like? Honestly think about that. Because if you don't decide that this is the time that you're going to change it, then it's likely that you're just going to keep going the way that you've always been and nothing will ever, ever in your life. Option B, you decide to shift into the version of you who can have and be exactly what you want in this life. And I want you to, even if you don't believe me right now, just roll with me for a minute. Just consider that this is possible. I know it's possible because I've experienced it. But until you've experienced it, it might be difficult for you to understand. I challenge you to just try it. You can comment down below and tell me I was wrong if it doesn't work for you. But I highly doubt that that will happen if you come in with an open mind and really, really decide to give it your all to this process, to shift into the identity of the version of you who can have and be what you actually want in this life. And the reason it works is because that version of you literally exists right now. You don't need to reinvent the wheel. All you have to do is make a simple shift in your identity and your state and then everything will actually be on easy mode from then on out. So that is option B. You can decide today to let go of the past, to let go of the old version of you. Who's going to Keep getting you the same results that you've been getting for your whole life. Who's running an autopilot way of being? Who's giving you an autopilot way of life that is not fulfilling you? You can decide today to be the version of you who feels confident, who feels empowered to make changes, who feels just like the highest, most embodied, most capable version of you. You can decide today to be that version. Nobody else is going to fucking decide that for you. It's you who has to decide it. And those are your only two options. Those are your only two options. You can stay the same, or you can decide right now to change, and you can think about whichever you decide to do or don't. Decide to do what? You're not changing. You're choosing. So if you decide not to change, then you're choosing to stay the same as you've always been, and you're choosing a life that is the same as it has been up until now. And it's going to stay like that. So you can stay on this known path, this known frequency, this known identity, and these known results, or you can decide today to step into the unknown. And yes, with that comes some fear and some discomfort. But if you do what I tell you in this video and you embody the version of you who can handle that, then it's not going to feel as scary. So really think about where would you be a year, three years, five years from now if you go down road A or if you go down road B and make the decision today and the commitment today to shift your identity and transform into the version of you who can really live the life that you want to live. Because here's the thing. Whether you're scared of judgment, whether you're scared of failure, whatever you're scared of, it doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things. We're all just infinite beings. We're all expressions of divine source embodied in a physical form. And we came here actually to create, not to live in fear. To create the life that we actually desire. We don't owe anything to anyone else, but we owe that to ourselves and to the expansion of our soul to overcome these fears and show ourselves that there's never really anything to fear in the first place, because we all came here to do this. And we're all gonna die. And you're never gonna be younger than you are in this moment right now. And you're. You literally don't know how many more breaths, how many more heartbeats, how many more days. You have left. So why not live them as the version of you that you really actually want to be and let go of all this other bullshit that's keeping you so fucking small for no reason. Who is it serving by you being this small in this tiny little box? Who is that helping? Nobody. You think it's keeping you safe from something, but that is a false perception. That is a lie that you've been told to keep you down and keep you small. And it's not real. You are no less safe. You are no more safe expressing yourself in a way that is genuinely authentic and aligned to your true self and how you really want to show up in the world. No matter if you want to sing on the side of the street, if you want to fucking scream on the rooftops, if you want to start a dance class, I don't know. I don't know what it is you want, but usually people just put these barriers and these blinders of themselves just because of fear and because of all these false beliefs that don't need to be there. It's all made up in your mind. And nobody is going to give you permission to bypass all of this shit that's been keeping you small. You have to give yourself permission to do that. And when you do that, you're gonna take a step forward and you're gonna be like, oh, my God. Oh, my God, I'm stepping out of my box. I'm stepping out of my box. And then you're gonna, like, be waiting for some big bomb or something to happen or something to explode, and it's just not gonna happen. It's gonna be like, oh, nothing happened. Because you have free will. You're free to do what you want. Maybe someone says, who does she think she is? Maybe someone makes a little comment, but, like, life goes on. The world keeps turning. And now you feel better because you realize playing small was such a fucking fake way of being. It made no sense. And you're completely set free from that prison that never needed to be there in the first place. And that is an amazing, amazing feeling, my friend. That is an amazing feeling. That's when you can really start playing with life. And you realize there are no limits except for the limits that you're placing on yourself. Genuinely think about. Think about some big goal, some person who really inspires you, who has some outcome maybe, that you really want. What is the difference between you and them? What is the difference? They have different skills, okay? Skills can be acquired with repetition, no problem. But what else? What else is the Difference, they see themselves differently to how you see yourself. They might see themselves as a leader, they might see themselves as a creative, they might see themselves as a YouTuber, they might see themselves as an authority. That is the only difference. And so whoever you are right now, I want you to know that the author, the creator, the actor, the musician version of you is within you already. And it doesn't have to be as hard as your brain is making you think it is. It's very fucking easy once you just align with that version of you. So I hope you've made the decision by now to take path B. And now we're going to get into why you are the way that you are and how to change that and how to let that go. First, I just want to ask you, who are you? Who are you? You're probably thinking, I am name. Okay, that was just a word that was attached onto your being when you were born. But okay, you might be thinking, I'm age. Okay, time is a construct, but okay, your age. You might be thinking, I'm profession. Okay, that's just something you chose to do as an activity. And you might be coming up with all these things, like your preferences and things you like and dislike and things you're good at and bad at, but all of these things are just things that were added onto your being and they don't really mean anything. They're not actually set in stone. So this is you. Sorry if it's kind of difficult to see, but this is you. And when you came here, you were just a clear vessel, a being with no beliefs, maybe some ancestral programming, a little bit biasing you in one direction towards another. However, you just came here, you were a clean slate, blank. You had no preferences, you had no real desires other than survival. Okay, so that was you when you arrived here. And then as you grew up, you started having layers of programming in the forms of different beliefs put on you by your parents, by society, by your friends, by your school, by your environment, by everything around you. Layers and layers and layers of different beliefs. And that is what started to form this self and this identity that you identify as today. However, these are all changeable. You can change any of these, you can wipe out layer by layer each of these beliefs. So this is actually really a process of just letting go. You came here and you inherited all of these things. And they're really fear based beliefs that keep us the most trapped. And the ones that really keep us the most trapped are the ones that we take on from our parents, especially around what we can earn, who we can show up as, what success is. The more we adopt the fear based beliefs as if they're our own, the more limited we're going to feel. So step one is to realize that these don't actually belong to you, they weren't yours to begin with, and you don't have to keep carrying them. You can give yourself permission to not carry these fear based beliefs any longer. You can give yourself permission to let them go. Because what's happening is when you came here, and this is really important, this is something I really want you to know and remember when you came here, you, you might have certain things and projects and certain interests that your soul is naturally drawn to. So this could be a number of things. This could be music, art, healing, whatever. But there's certain things that you naturally, at a soul level would feel extremely aligned and fulfilled doing. And everybody has these things. It's not just one thing, it could be multiple things. But everybody has these things that they are naturally aligned with more than others. But when you came here, when all of this stuff was put all around you, you're like a little vessel inside a big onion of all these beliefs. That onion of beliefs is stopping you from even considering something that could be the path for you. So for example, if your life's purpose is to be a shaman or to be a teacher or to. But you're terrified of speaking in front of people because of these beliefs and experiences that you interpreted and made beliefs in your subconscious mind about, then you won't ever even be able to see the path that's meant for you because of your identity. Because who you think you are is blocking you from even seeing where you are actually truly meant to shine and flourish in this world. You, when you come here, you have so much talent and so much potential, especially in the things that you're meant to do and that you're aligned with. However, the fear based programming and the fear based beliefs that are embedded into you, they're stopping you from even seeing that talent and that potential. So just like in a movie, we're watching a movie and we can see from the beginning, yeah, this character's got something. Yeah, they've got grit. Yeah. They've got integrity. Oh yeah. They're really like good fight or whatever. The character is very like, they can't see that for themselves because they're so used to living in like this world where nobody appreciates them and they're always taken for granted. And then they get this one opportunity to really be the hero in the movie. And then they show up and they're able to do that because they're in a different environment and they break beyond their old identity because they have to, because the world's gonna end. I think I'm thinking about Hunger Games or something. But you get my point, right? We can watch them in the movie and we can see. Yeah, well, from the beginning, we knew that this was the character that this person had. Okay? It was obvious that this was going to happen. But for ourselves, we can't see that because we're so trapped inside this onion of fear based beliefs. And we keep buying into this identity that's only based off these fear beliefs that aren't even ours to begin with, that we cannot see that we were actually here to actually shine and create something magical and beautiful and. And that we can actually do that. Once we let go of all of this, I want you to genuinely ask yourself and consider, why are you so attached to this version of you? Why are you so attached to this version of you? Maybe they've really served you. Maybe this version of you has kept you safe from a lot of things. But now that you know it's limiting you, it's time to let it go. And I'm gonna repeat, your life is not going to change unless you change. There's a really famous quote that I can't remember right now. Everyone thinks of changing the world, but nobody thinks of changing themselves. I think that's the quote. Can't remember who said it. That's really bad. But that is the basis of everything you have to change. How you're thinking, how you're believing, how you're acting. If you want good things to happen, if you want to be successful, you. You must step forward as the version of you who genuinely knows and believes you are successful already. That you deserve success, that you deserve wealth, that you deserve whatever it is you want in this life. Unless you do that, you're not going to get it. So I ask you, this version of you, why are you so attached to them when all they're doing is blocking you from having what you actually want? I'll tell you why you think it's safe being this version of you, but living your whole life in regret and yearning for something else doesn't sound very safe for me. What sounds safer is living in the version of you who you feel so happy and content and empowered in. That actually sounds a lot safer. So there's a little bit of a. Like a. Like a mental gymnastics. I want you to do Here with me. This version of you thinks that your dream reality is unsafe because you're thinking from the perspective of the version of you who only feels safe in this reality. Even if this reality right now, you hate it. You're thinking from the perspective of the version of you who only has this version of events. But if you were to be thinking from the perspective of the version of you who has what you want and is living how you want to live, they wouldn't think that it's unsafe. They would think that they can handle it. They deserve it. That life is amazing. So you can tailor this. This is what I'm saying. It doesn't have to be always a sacrifice. It doesn't have to be so difficult all the time. You can literally select from the infinite cosmic storehouse within your subconscious mind the exact version of you living the exact version of reality that you actually want to live. So we're going to do this exercise together now, now that I've given you some background info, and I really just want you to keep an open mind with this and really, truly remember that nothing is off limits for you. And if you're finding it hard to think of yourself like the version of you living this, remind yourself that if someone somewhere is living it, then that means you can live it. Once you develop the same skills, habits, characteristics as whoever it is you look up to, whoever it is you're idolizing, then you too can have the thing. It's not off limits to you. You could spend your whole life making small moves and small progressions this way and that way. But why not just fucking decide today to flip the switch? You can flip the switch right now in this video, when we do this exercise together. And you can literally, when you open your eyes at the end of this video, you can decide that you are now the version of you who is capable, who is confident, who is enthusiastic, who is positive, who is blessed. You can actually decide these things for yourself. And what will happen is you're going to be able to take actions that you've never been able to take before. You're going to be able to set big, big goals that you've always been too scared to set. Why? Because now you're the version of you who can do that. This is going to bypass years of wasted time. If you really just decide to make the decision to do this today, it's time to stop thinking in months, years and decades. You are not decades away. You are only ever vibrations away. And how you absolutely shortcut and manipulate your vibration is by signaling to yourself and to the universe that, hey, I am literally this version of me. Overnight, immediately, within an hour, within 20 minutes. I have decided right now, today, that I'm no longer this version, and I am this version. And that is when everything is going to change. So we're going to first get very clear on what it is you actually want to experience. What is the thing that feels so impossible or so difficult to think about as this version of you that you really want, but you're too scared to even go for because you don't believe that you now can have it. And by the way, when you're thinking about, like, setting a goal or any of these things, we're going to be visualizing in a minute your ideal day. But I really want it to be something that you really feel your emotions get involved in. So it needs to be something that really means something to you. So let's say, for example, you want to set an income goal. You want to increase your income from 2 grand per month to 5 grand per month or 2 grand per month to 10 grand per month, or 2 grand to 20 grand, okay? When you're setting the goal of, say, 20 grand per month, okay, that's one thing. You have the income right there, okay? But really, like, genuinely ask yourself, how do you want to make that money? How do you want to feel when you make that money? What are you going to do with that money? Who are you going to spend the money on? What are you going to invest it into? What does it mean for you to earn that? Where are you getting it from? What value are you providing to receive that? How hard are you working for that? Are you doing something you love or are you doing something you hate? Do not allow this version of you to create terms and conditions on this experience that you're going to be visualizing, because then you are going to get a limited version. And that's not what we're trying to do here, okay? You're trying to really create the picture and the image in your head that introduces, intuitively feels, the most fulfilling to you of a day. If you could live a day and design it and just paint it with a paintbrush, what would that day look like for you? And really think about the details of this. The more specific you can get with this, the more easy it's going to be for you to picture and feel what the version of you living that is like. So let's say, for example, you want to be earning 20 grand per month. And naturally, this version of you is Thinking, I get up at 5am and I hustle all day, and I hustle till nighttime, and then I hustle again. Okay, if that's what feels good and exciting for you, then go for it. But if it would feel better and more exciting for you to get up in the morning and to be able to work for maybe five hours, but then do other things that you love and maybe work on things that you actually love and care about, rather than hustle and doing things you hate, then maybe go for that one. Whatever it is, really think right now about what it is that you want to be doing that you might be even too scared to consider. Normally, once you've made it very clear exactly what you want and how you want it to feel, then you are going to meditate and visualize on that. And I know immediately you're like, yeah, I'll do that later. Yeah, I don't want to do that right now. Then you're not gonna get there. You're not gonna get there. You have to set the frequency of this in your mind. And maybe the first time you do this visualization, you might not be able to visualize it. That's standard. That's normal. I was watching a documentary recently, and I think it was Joe Dispenza was on it. And he was saying when he was healing his spine, he was visualizing sitting in meditation and detaching from his physical, entering into all the possibilities and visualizing a reality and a version of him where his spine healed by itself. And he had to do that for three hours a day for about three weeks straight. And then after the third or fourth week, it clicked and his spine healed. But he sat in silence, in meditation. He called, he says, laboring, laboring and laboring to get to the moment where that click happen internally. So I'm not saying it's not work to do this. This is what's difficult about this, and this is why people don't do it. But I am saying it's 100% worth it, and it fucking does work when you actually do it. And sometimes people have the shift in the first meditation. If you really, really, really commit to this and you really go into it with an open mind, it absolutely can happen the first time. But even if you don't 100% shift the first time you do it, every time you do it, you get stronger and stronger in the new version of you and in your new identity. All you have to do is keep showing up. Okay, so we're not going to do the full meditation Here, but I will create a video on that and link it in this video. But essentially, what you want to do is you want to sit in meditation. You want to slow down your brain waves. You want to detach from your habitual thoughts and thinking patterns and your environment and your stresses and your known neural pathways that you've been firing wiring all the time that are giving you your sense of self and your identity. Okay? And what's possible for you, you slow down and you detach. You close your eyes and you meditate. And once you become detached from all of that, then you're in a position to introduce something new. And that is when you want to introduce this exact scenario that you just wrote out. And you want to act it out in your mind as if you are the version of you who's living it right now. So in your mind with your eyes closed, you want to open your eyes with your eyes closed, but in your mind as the version of you, and look around and live the day in the life of this person who's living this life. And make sure you keep reminding yourself nothing is off limits, because this wiring is going to keep trying to come in and tell you that's not possible. So you're gonna have to keep fighting with it and that. No, just. Just let it be for a minute. Just let yourself roam around in your imagination. Just let yourself create the mental images of this thing already done. And the more and more you practice this and do this and create. Create those images in your mind, the more you can start aligning and feeling like the version of you who's living that reality right now. And really, once you get a clear picture of you walking around and living life as this version of you, you can begin to ask yourself, who am I in this reality? Okay. And that is the key question. That is the key question. Who am I in this reality and how am I showing up? And you're going to straightaway get answers and intuition about how you need to show up and. And who this version of you is. And it should actually feel very, very comforting to know this and to tap into this reality and this version of you, because you can see that, you can do it. You can feel that all you have to do is shift. And it doesn't have to be difficult, and it doesn't have to be scary, and you can trust this version of you to be able to do this and have this life. So once you do that and you really feel what it feels like to be living and embodying the version of you who has everything you want, then you will get intuitive insight on how you need to show up. And to take this a step further, what you can then do is you can imagine in your mind's eye, with your eyes still closed, this version of you. So the version of you that you have been up until today standing in front of you and all their characteristics and all their traits, and you can ask yourself honestly what. What is the difference between these two versions? And what do you need to let go of and what do you need to bring in in order to move into this reality and this version of you? And that is going to leave no room for error. That is going to make it very clear and very easy for you to see what no longer is serving you, what you need to release and what you are now going to embody from this moment going forward. And then you make the simple decision that you are now this version of you, this new version, this version that can have and be the way that you truly want to be. You decide that you feel it in your inner being. You feel yourself release and let go of this old version. And you open your eyes and you go about your day. As the new version of you and as reality tries to suck you back in and keep you stuck, you recommit to the new version over and over and over again. You do the visualization every single day until that click happens where you are suddenly just that version and you don't default anymore. And then guess what? Your whole life changes. Why? Because you have changed you. If you do this consistently, you will be able to do things, have things, be a person who you never ever thought you could be. The impossible becomes possible when you truly commit yourself to this. So stop wasting your life and stop wasting time running this fear program that is not even yours to begin with. This is how you really start living life on your own terms. You do this work, you go inside, you visualize it clearly and you honestly picture yourself now. And you picture yourself with what you want and you really honestly tell yourself what is the difference. You let go of the old and you embody the new. And you do that as much times as you need to until it's default for you. You will never fall below your minimum acceptable standards for yourself in your life. So you need to raise your fucking standards about who you are and what you deserve to have in this life. Why do you think so lowly of yourself? It is time for that to end. You have to fucking believe in yourself. Nobody else is going to believe in you. Nobody else is Going to come in and tell you that all this fear based bullshit doesn't have to be true for you anymore. Nobody is going to do that for you. Nobody is going to raise the bar for you. And if you don't raise the bar, you're going to stay exactly where you've been your whole fucking life. You have to have the audacity to give yourself permission to live a fucking amazing, big, grand, expressive life because no one else is going to do that for you. And it's gonna feel weird at first and it's gonna feel uncomfortable, but you're gonna realize it is so much better than how you've been living hiding away in your little box of fear and playing small. You have no idea how much potential you have until you start doing this and start just being so brave and so courageous. What's the opposite to fear? What's on the opposite end of fear? Courage. So how you start to break through all these fear based beliefs and these walls that are blocking you from living a life of adventure, of excitement, of fulfillment. How you get through these walls is through just practicing sheer courage and sheer delusion to just go forward and actually just have have the audacity to ask for what you want and just go after it because you just want it. And that means you deserve it. You don't need to have all these criteria. You don't need to keep believing that you need to be this little small version of you. It doesn't have to be that way. If you decide that it's different. You did not come here and suffer this much and go through all of this stuff and learn all these lessons and have this yearning then placed on your heart for something different. For you to just stay here and stay the same and stay dimming your light and stay playing small. Why the hell would your higher self put you through all these hard things and hard situations and keep that desire in your heart? It's not for you to stay here dimming your life. It's for you to realize that you have been the main character in your life this whole, whole time. You have always had everything you needed. And this desire is there because it's meant for you. And when you really let go of all the shit that you've been telling yourself, all the shit that other people have put on you, and you run head first at your dreams without giving a shit what anyone says, that is when you realize that all of this was made up. It never had to be there. And you are truly unlimited in what you can have and be in this life. That's all for this video, guys. I hope it helped. Please remember you have everything you need inside you to live a life of fulfillment, abundance and alignment. All you need to do is tune back into yourself and let go of all the bullshit around you. I hope this video helped. I love you guys and I will see you in the next one.
