Summary
Where you are in life right now is not who you are. Who you are is someone who has learned that creating things comes from the decisions you made many, many months and years ago. So, when you have the perspective that, "well, I'm not good enough, I just made some bad decisions" that opens us up to make better decisions which creates a better outcome. And this is the mystery of life.

What is up guys, it's Andy Priscilla and this is the show for the realist's sake about the
00:00:20.540
lies, the fakeness, and delusions of modern society and welcome to motherfucking reality.
00:00:24.320
Guys, today we have a real talk and I'm going to get right into it, okay?
00:00:27.960
I was talking to a buddy of mine who's going through some hard times and it got me thinking
00:00:36.180
A lot of you guys might be going through a hard time and I want to remind you of something.
00:00:39.940
I want to remind you that where you are in life right now is not who you are, okay?
00:00:48.980
Who you were has created the life that you're living right now, but who you are is a different
00:01:01.840
You have gone through things that that previous self didn't know or hadn't experienced and
00:01:08.000
now you are equipped with a different perspective, with different skills, and a better understanding
00:01:13.280
of what decisions need to be made to change the outcome that you are currently living in.
00:01:19.100
So, you have to understand that if you look at it as if what you're experiencing right now
00:01:26.960
as who you are, you are closing off the ability to make any changes to the current circumstances.
00:01:36.920
If you look around and your whole life is a shit show, all right, you can't look at yourself
00:01:41.980
in the mirror and say, well, I'm just a piece of shit.
00:01:46.500
Actually, what happened was the person that you were a year ago, two years ago, three years
00:01:53.540
ago, five years ago, made some uneducated and probably instant gratification minded decisions
00:02:00.860
that have created this outcome that you are unsatisfied with and that is not who you are.
00:02:07.100
Now who you are is someone who has learned that creating things comes from the decisions that
00:02:18.420
So, when you have the perspective that, you know what, I'm not a piece of shit, I just
00:02:24.260
made some bad decisions, that opens us up to make better decisions, which creates a better
00:02:34.020
This is why many of you repeat the same cycles over and over and over and over again because
00:02:41.420
you look at the environment you are currently in and you say, well, I'm just not good enough
00:02:46.560
or I'm just not that kind of person or you know what, I'm just a loser.
00:02:53.280
You are just losing and you are losing because the person that you were before lacked the perspective
00:02:59.320
or the understanding that the decisions that that person was making were going to create
00:03:06.500
But now you've learned that lesson, haven't you?
00:03:09.680
Now you've figured out that maybe that person that you were before is not who the person
00:03:16.580
And if you had the same opportunity to make the same decisions today, you would make different
00:03:28.340
Nothing is going to be changed by you sitting in front of the TV, eating more shit, consuming
00:03:35.240
more mindless information, being more of a loser than you already are, that's not going
00:03:42.000
That's going to produce more of what you don't want and probably a more intense, harder version
00:03:52.320
You have the choice to accept your reality as who you are and live your life as that person
00:03:58.700
from now until you die, which I'm pretty sure you don't want to do, or you have the ability
00:04:05.260
to acknowledge that, hey, the life I'm currently living is the result of the decisions of that
00:04:12.360
Back then, I am no longer that person and now I'm equipped to make better decisions that
00:04:17.060
will produce a different outcome when time does its thing.
00:04:24.200
It's not going to happen in 30 days, but if you make better decisions about your life
00:04:29.180
now, two, three, five years from now, you're going to be a completely different person in
00:04:36.500
And when you become that person who is aware and skilled and understands that their actions
00:04:42.600
create a reaction and you're also living in the life that you want to live in, that's
00:04:47.660
a powerful thing because you can continue down that path of prosperity and winning, which
00:04:56.060
And a lot of you guys say, well, I don't really care about winning.
00:04:59.060
If you didn't care about winning, you wouldn't feel so shitty about where the fuck you are
00:05:10.160
You've just made decisions that have created an environment that feels like it.
00:05:17.820
Start making better decisions right fucking now.
00:05:20.400
And before you know it, you'll be living a different life.
00:05:30.940
You will have a much better quality of existence.
00:05:34.180
But you cannot do that if you identify your current living situation as your identity.
00:05:42.860
The decisions that you made back then produce this environment.
00:05:45.720
And the decisions you make today will produce the environment later.
00:05:50.700
And whether that environment turns out to be something that you want or more of the same
00:05:54.940
of what you have right now has to do with you taking responsibility and understanding that
00:06:06.660
And if you want a better outcome, you got to make better decisions.
00:06:18.680
Contrary to what everybody cries about and blames everything on.
00:06:25.420
You control most, not a little bit, most of the things that are going to make the difference
00:06:36.100
You control what information you put in your brain.
00:06:44.240
And all of those things create a much more real reality than anything else that you could
00:06:52.040
So when you wonder why it is you are where you are, you have to take responsibility for
00:06:57.320
that and say, it was me so that you can now take responsibility for changing it.
00:07:01.900
And a lot of you guys talk about freedom, but until you free yourself from the understanding
00:07:09.280
that your current environment is somehow somebody else's fault, you cannot be free.
00:07:15.000
The only way for you to be free is to take responsibility and say, man, you know what?
00:07:22.700
And you want to talk about what real freedom is?
00:07:24.360
That's real freedom because now you can make any decision you want to produce the outcome
00:07:31.520
So stop thinking this is someone else's fucking fault and stop talking about freedom and stop
00:07:36.740
talking about someone else coming to save the day or somebody has to do something.
00:07:40.780
That somebody is and always has been and always will be you.
