Episode Synopsis

Broken relationships, obsessive thoughts, failed goals, death, disease, failed plans and more. Everybody is going through something.It’s okay to lean on people. What I’ve realized in today’s day and age is people gravitate towards you if you tell them what’s wrong.It makes them feel connected. More human. Oh wow. I’m not the only one doing through this.Even celebrities like Elon Musk on a podcast have said, “My mind is a storm. I don't think most people would want to be me. They may think they'd want to be me, but they don't know, they don't understand."For the longest time, I hid my emotions and never talked about my problems to people. People thought I was a robot and this pushed me away from my closest friends and family. After hitting rock bottom, feeling this deep emptiness. I changed my approach to life. I started letting the people in my life and this connected us. Something I’ve rarely felt in my life. I made the commitment of showing the good and the bad to everyone and this fostered so much love.Also this is not a one-stop solution. Life has its way of ostracizing you. No matter how good one feels, life happens and you’re going to need to rely on others.There is a caveat though. What’s the difference between vulnerability and weakness?Vulnerability is opening up to others and still doing your due diligence. Despite the feelings that are inside of you. You still keep on going with life. (Discipline vs. Motivation)Weakness is opening up to others and wanting them to do all the work. Feeling like a victim. Expecting that good things will just fall out of the sky. Life does not work that way. There’s no such thing as a self-made person. What if all my friends are toxic and none of my family members support me? Find new friends out there.The formula I have for the foundation for people you want in life is. This applies to friends and family:They must:-celebrate in times of achievement-despair in times of failureThere are people who try to ostracize you, those are not your friends. You deserve betterIf you are at your wits end and nothing is working. Please seek help.  Dial 9-8-8 if you are anywhere in Canada. There is hope out there. I’m gonna leave you with this quote “Everything can be taken from a, but one thing: the last of the human freedoms– to choose one’s attitude in any given circumstance. To choose one’s way.”-Viktor Frankl.KEEP IT LONG TERM!
