Be Open To Change

Back with another video. It's Samir Gardner. So, uh, this video is also going to be again, uh, kind of inspired by MJ DeMarco's Unscripted book. Uh, not really inspired, but just it reminded me of something again. And that thing is like, bro, I think what got me— I want to say, I want to act like I'm at the top right now because I'm totally not at the top. But what I can say is why my life got better is because I was open to change, bro. I was, I was open to— like, I just made a video of being open-minded, the same thing, bro. I was open to pretty much like I lose— I lost my attachment of routine and familiarity, like, and by that I mean like I didn't care that, for example, my diet. I didn't care that I couldn't eat my favorite, like, chicken wings. Like, I used to love chicken wings 24/7, bro. I wouldn't go with chicken wings. I wouldn't go with— I wouldn't be able to live without Domino's Pizza. I wouldn't be able to live without popcorn at the movie theater and everything. But to be honest, I was ready, I was ready to lose it all, bro, to pick up new habits, you know. And I think it's a beautiful thing, bro. I just think it's a beautiful thing that I was open. And many people too, you, you, if you're on self-improvement, you probably, you've, you've been open, you've been open to change, you know. Maybe for you, working out wasn't, wasn't for you. You think You rather, at first you rather do like, you know, it's just the lame excuses of your brain. It's pretty much programming. You don't want to go into something new because you want to keep doing that same familiar thing. But I think that, to be honest, if you're not ready for change, bro, I mean, the result's going to be the same. And, you know, I'm not saying stop doing what gives you so much good results and everything. I'm saying, For the people that, for example, they wanna— a lot of people I see, like, they, they just— and for me too, bro, they just want to do the same thing every day. They want to do the same thing every day for the rest of their lives. But that's crazy. That's crazy, bro. And it's not even like doing the same thing by, you know, uh, going to sleep, working on everything, but they just want to do the same habits, go to the same place every day, go to work every day and everything. Be open to change. Be open that you can do something else. Be open that you can pretty much— but bro, like, just— I'm gonna take diet as an example again, bro. Like, sometimes I have sort of emotional attachments to a certain food, but if I gotta give up this food, I'm gonna give it up because I know it's just my— it won't make me— it won't make me unhappy that I left out the food. Yeah, it might make me feel deprived, but I'm gonna feel better in the long run because I'm gonna be more healthy. You know, giving up on sugar, bro. Like, many people are emotionally attached to sweets and sugar and everything, and I totally understand because I was like this. I was pretty much like everyone in this society. I was attached to, you know, eating sugar and sweets because it's addictive. But if you're ready, even though it's something— even though it's like, imagine if it was like a culture, cultural thing, you know, you and your family eats something like very sweet and everything, but you decided to give it up. Like, bro, it's not the end of the world, bro. You're not gonna be unhappy, and you can also continue doing that thing. I'm not saying it's the worst thing of the world, bro. I'm not saying it's the worst thing in the world, but I just want to say, like, be open to change. Be open of doing something that's not familiar, bro. Be open to do everything, bro. I mean, you're open to something— to— if you're open to something that's not familiar, you're going to be able to sort of be more free because you're gonna have more opportunities around you. You're going to be able to understand this and that and this because you You've lived there, then you live there, then you live there because you were always open. That's how it works. So that's it for the vid.
