234. How to Make Life Easy {with Sam}

Uh, seminar continued our conversation about being home and knowing what home feels like. We shifted into this idea of fear. This is a really beautiful. Picture. Of what life really can be. And actually is once we truly understand. How to lay fear aside and then actually do it. Everything is going to happen to you. It just is. and when you have a. Realistic. understanding of that when you, when you have an acceptance. Of that. Because it opens this thing inside you that. I know when I feel that way. I feel. Completely invincible. And. there's no fear anymore. I guess that's part of what feeling invincible is absence of fear and not in a way where you're like, Delusional. You just realize that that doesn't serve you in any way, shape or form. like to be able to hold that. It's a hard thing and it takes a bottle. Like it takes a lot of emotional labor. Yeah. Oh, which is so weird because it's like, Y, you know, like you're like I'm doing all this emotional labor to lose an entire emotion. Yeah. You go through so much emotional labor to get to a place where you can be neutral. Wherever you're at. Whoever is yelling at you, whoever is telling you you're stupid. Whoever is seeing you're doing whatever wrong. Whatever it is. And you're just like, all right, whatever corporation happens to be gaslighting me today. Because. Anyway. Those things do happen. And. will never, I will never avoid them. They'll I think. The more, I try to avoid those things. The more I find. Oh, definitely because what is the saying? what you resist persists? Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Cause you spend all the time thinking about it. they're giving energy to, with. The thing I spent. So I spent so much of my life thinking like, God, I wish I could make my life easier. So of course my life just got harder and harder because the universe was like, if you want your life to be easier, you have to be stronger. Mm, what's the Bruce Lee quote. It's like, don't pray for an easy life. Pray for the strength. To be able to handle a hard won easily. Because. The struggle is real. It's an easy, it's not, it was never supposed to be. Who the fuck do you think you are? You know, like you can sit there and tell me that. You honest to God think that This gift. But we've been given whether we want it to be like nobody asked to be born. I get that. I get it. I didn't ask to be born either. Sometimes I'm pissed off about. To be honest. Like stuck me in this meat sack. This is terrible. But it's a gift. And. As terrible as the world is and as full of misery as it is because people. Our people. Are miserable and they're miserable. But. It's full of beauty too. Right. it's a gift. No matter what. And. I genuinely believe, um, as ideological, maybe as, naive as this might be. I genuinely believe that. Humanity. Possesses the ability. To lay fear. Uh, side. All the rest of it. Comes from fear. The greed. The hate. The violence. It all comes from fear. And, and until we. Cast aside, our fear. We're going to keep doing these things to each other. I think also that the inevitable outcome to our fear. we'll be to create. A situation that's so. Terrifying. That. Only the people who can let their fear Goebel survive. It. And that at the other side of the thing that fear will do to us, Is in fact our likes salvation. And as much as I don't want that to be true. As much as I want everybody to like, Collectively pull their heads out of their asses. Ah, like it'll take an asteroid. It's going to take. Everything. For us to get there. I believe that we're capable of getting there. I won't say that. I hope we do. I know we will. I know we will. It takes what it takes. Right. And sometimes things do I often, most of the time, I think it's have to get really bad for someone too. Shift. Out of fear, actually, it's almost like the thing that is the worst possible thing that maybe they thought could happen or. At least something that's at that level happened. And. There they still are. And they realize, okay. Now I'm still here. The thing that I thought would kill me didn't so what am I going to do with this? That I have now, every single breath that we have is when we might not. Right. Like you said it's a gift to be, you only get so many heartbeats. And you only get so many breaths, right? And. And holding your breath. Doesn't work. But taking a nap to us. Oh, definitely. Always. There's this actually, it's a famous quote. I think he's a Japanese doctor. He's like you only, you only get so many heartbeats in your life. Your heart will only be so many times it's a muscle and then it will give out. If you want to live longer. Take a nap. Because your heartbeat goes down. You're like literally using less heartbeats. And I always thought about that. And I watched people doing athletic stuff, like getting that, get that heartbeat up. And I just think about that doctor. Like, he'd be like, no, don't do that. Go for a gentle walk and then take a nap. That's her food. I kind of way. Maybe a little bit of a sweaty walk sometimes. I do like. I get my heartbeat up. So inconclusive, but pretty much in order to make life easy. Change your perception. Nothing is really that important. Every single breath. Is a breath you might not have. Every single heartbeat. As a heartbeat. You might not have. Every moment. Well, it is eternity. There's also a moment you might not have. Why not dance. Why not laugh. Why not. Let life be the reason you're alive. That's it. I go to buy me a coffee.com/ 1 0 0 ways and support the show. Thank you. So much. Until next time we are sending all the love and then some more. We'll talk tomorrow
