Selfie to succeed humans first.
A community of curious, free and compassionate humans finding gratitude and success in the small things.
Attracting blessings and rekindling with the chaos we inevitably have to go through in life, regardless of age, sex, status, nor culture.
Our vision is to create a place where we experience life and share insights through other humans eyes, as fortunately and unfortunately we'll only have a chance to experience one at a time.
So without any further ado.
Yes.
Feel the joy, happiness.
Feel being alive.
Feel be filled by life.
Just feel.
Feel life.
Feel the light.
Because you only know what light looks like when you're living it.
You can ask a blind person.
What light feels like.
They're going to be talking about something that they hear being spoken about.
They're going to talk about all the beautiful colors they've never seen.
To a point that they're going to believe that that is light.
They're going to believe that because they have a close understanding to what light is.
They're going to feel like they're living that light.
They're going to feel like for a second.
They know what living the light feels like.
But they won't truly.
Dearly.
Know what that is.
They're going to be frauds.
And at the same time.
They're also going to be.
Because they think that they're living through light.
They're never going to experience what light is.
Because they only think that they're living in it.
They're living through the illusion of what light is.
What happiness is.
Looking for things that will remind them of that feeling consistently.
One after the other one.
Fun after the next fun.
The enjoyment after the next enjoyment.
And because they think that they're living it.
Why take a step toward it.
When you think that you're already in it.
Like when you touch when you feel like you've touched the ceiling.
You're capping yourself.
Okay I've touched it. I'm here. That's it.
You're only leaving the kick from things that remind you or come closely for a short limited period of time.
To what being in the light actually feels like.
But because you have so many things.
That feel like it.
Place one after the other one. You're going to feel like you're in the light.
So what happens when you put the pause on those things.
Where do you find yourself.
That's the question.
The best way to see it.
Is as if we're walking through this tunnel.
Right.
The only thing that we only know of is that tunnel.
We go.
Whatever it's at the back of our back.
We have.
Whatever we can see in front of us.
And that's it.
We don't know that there is any left right.
We don't know that we're down.
We don't know that mention.
We just see this flat line.
And think that's life.
But one day that one person comes in.
And punches through that tunnel.
And there's this.
Loud.
Light.
That's been showed to you.
And it's so loud.
They just want to quiet it.
Because you're not used to it.
It's something.
This is not what.
I thought light was.
It's not supposed to be so overwhelming.
Right. Only as overwhelming as you let yourself be overwhelmed by it.
But the understanding that you weren't living it.
You're living the illusion of it.
To being showed.
What that actually feels like. It's like whoa.
Damn.
That fucking caught me out of nowhere.
What is this?
But that one person took the chance.
They took the energy and effort.
To punch through that hole.
Punch through that tunnel.
Just for you to actually see.
And take the chance on yourself to go through that hole.
And experience what light is.
But guess what?
You have.
You have just a handful of choices there.
You can start walking backward because you're too afraid of it.
Just like when.
If you look up for example.
I've got a new cat.
So every time that she feels like there's a threat.
She walks backward.
So that the threat is far away from us.
It might not actually be a threat.
It's just something new.
That we're just not accustomed to yet.
So we're just backward.
We just walk.
It's like the moonwalk.
It's like the moonwalking away from the light.
Right?
It's there.
But we're distancing ourselves from it.
Because that is just too much.
It's just too much for me to actually cope with.
Because it's not what I've been accustomed to.
It's not what I thought it was.
And so many times.
We take that step back.
From happiness.
Because we don't feel like we're ready to take the leap of faith.
We don't feel like we're going to survive that leap of faith sometimes.
And that's because we're so grippled until on what's been.
That we're not allowing ourselves to feel what could be.
So that light just gets further and further.
Step after step.
Further and again.
Further and further and further.
Until a point where we can't see anymore.
And then we feel.
Okay.
I can deal with this now.
It's not too light.
Oh, you might just put that pair of new shades on.
And be like, yeah, I'm good now.
I'm good.
And then there's the other option.
Just walk past it.
Because whatever is at the back.
Whatever is behind your shoulders.
Or you don't see and you can't affect you.
Especially when you don't look back.
Right?
You just keep on walking forward.
Just keep walking in the tunnel of darkness.
That tunnel of dread and sadness that you feel.
Because you're not feeling accomplished.
You're not feeling filled.
You're just keeping on looking for those little holes.
When someone just punched through a fucking tunnel for you.
You still won't take the chance on yourself.
You're just going to walk past it.
Just look for the reflections of what that light was.
Maybe you see someone put in a mirror that might show you what that light was like.
But again, it's only a reflection.
It's not an actual hole for you to walk through.
You might think that is, but it's not.
And then obviously there's the third option.
Just take a step in.
Just be like, wow.
What is this?
This is new to me.
But I'm kind of enjoying it.
It feels warm.
It's loud.
It's, it comes with weight.
It comes with a weight that you can only understand.
And you can only actually lift when you take the chance on yourself to go through the hole.
And then obviously there is the also acknowledgement of the fact that whoever came and punched through that hole, yes, took a chance on you that day.
But they're also going and dancing through the lights.
They have their own light to enjoy.
So why would they bother coming back and making another hole for you?
If you're, if they know that you're not going to take a chance on yourself, they might do.
There is the slight, slight benefit of the doubt that someone might give you.
Here, let me give you another handout.
Let me punch out of the hole.
That's going to take a lot of energy out of that person for them to come back, to punch through a hole that they already did.
Just to show you what life feels like, what happiness feels like.
And bear in mind that whoever is in the light with them at that time, they came to punch through your tunnel.
Has seen that.
So they know that you didn't walk through.
And that's two doors already.
They know you didn't.
Why would they even bother?
Why would they?
All right.
Who cares?
You don't care.
So why would I care?
And bear in mind, they're living the light.
They're enjoying it.
So that first hole that was once made for you, now it has a plexiglass or whatever they call this new windows.
Double glazed, double whatever.
Now you can only see through.
It's like a vault made out of glass.
You can see all the gold inside.
We just don't know the code for.
Even if the vault is under your name.
That's what you could have had.
Because you didn't take the chance when it was once open.
It's not locked.
How sad is that?
How sad that we've gone to a place that now we look for misery.
We look for something that reminds us of the sadness and the misery that we live in or that we think we live in.
Because it's all in our head, to be fair.
Like there's no physical tunnel.
It's just our mind.
There's a mind tunnel.
And the reason why we don't see the light at the end of the tunnel is because there's no light at the end of the tunnel waiting for you.
If you've placed a vault without glass in front of you, you just see darkness consistently.
And when we think, and this is also great actually, because we always think of all this, the light at the end of the tunnel.
Now the light is next to you.
It's happening right now.
But because you're so afraid of just stepping into it, you're missing out.
So you keep on walking and you keep seeing darkness.
And you think that that's what you're meant to.
That's your life.
You think that that's everything you're going to get.
Until one day, one person that wasn't there when that first person punched through might come and actually punch another hole.
And then there again, you get blazed by this amount of light that just washes over you.
And you're like, oh my God, let me look for an umbrella because you don't want to get wet.
Only to then realize when there's now a glass and you can see through that that wetness would have made the seeds sprout into the most beautiful tree that you could have ever been.
Because you didn't step into it, you didn't actually got fertilized by walking through that hole.
You're now seeing your leaves falling.
You only know what a flower is based on what other people are telling you a flower is.
You're not truly feeling flowery in your life or that there could ever be one.
Because you haven't even gone through the stage of growing that tree so that it could withhold flowers.
That process is just walking through the hole.
Because once you turn right or left, up and down, wherever the hole is, instead of just keeping walking forward to where that dreadfulness, sadness is taking you to.
Just stopping and changing direction is what gives you the power to then, okay, now I can carry this light.
You gotta stop yourself for once.
Just like this.
Feel the vibe.
Know that that is not a threat. It's just different.
It's something that requires change. It requires strength.
It requires emotional strength.
Because you would have to relinquish and leave behind everything that survived within that sadness, within that tunnel.
Because it's not needed where the light is.
Why would you need a coat in a desert?
When there's no rain happening.
There's no wind happening.
Why would you ever need a coat in a place that's warm?
You won't.
But of course it's gonna be overwhelming if you bring that coat with you.
You just gotta sweat in it.
If not die in it.
When it becomes too hot.
Because that's what light is.
We need to always strip off something off you so that you can truly feel what light feels like.
And one day you're gonna trim off an arm.
You're gonna trim off a leg.
You're gonna trim off your torso.
You're gonna trim off your skin.
You're gonna trim off your organ.
Just to realize that light is not your body.
It is your mind and soul, your consciousness and soul.
Because you've escaped from the tunnel that you had placed yourself in.
Leaving behind everything that you thought.
Everything that you've used as a survival.
To survive within the darkness.
But it's not needed in the light.
You need to leave it behind or it will kill you in the light.
It will, certainly.
And it will have you running right back into the sadness.
Just because you brought with yourself something that wasn't needed.
And that tunnel is just the void.
It's just every feeling of shortcoming.
Every feeling of not being loved.
Every feeling of not being enough.
Every feeling of feeling like you have to do more.
Just so that you can cope.
Or that you can have something in return.
Like overcompensating.
You need to leave all that behind in order for you to actually feel what light is.
Because there's no overcompensation in light.
It's light is already overwhelming on itself.
It's a big platter.
You don't need a spare one.
Because it will all fit into the platter.
As long as you trust it to.
If you bring a spare platter then you're just making your happy platter even heavier.
Because you're bringing behind your baggage.
So it's not that we're afraid of people that bring baggages in new relationships.
We're afraid of people not realizing that those baggages are not needed where we are.
You don't need to fear of being abandoned.
Because I'm not going to abandon you.
I will tell you what's wrong.
We're going to fix it.
We're going to work through it.
We're going to find a way to move forward.
But I'm not going to abandon you.
And if I do I will tell you right.
Because that's a boundary of mine.
For me to be in the light I need to make sure that I'm boundary myself off the sadness.
I need to have a line.
Okay your light comes in but not your sadness.
So if you want to keep the sadness with you then there's no place for you here.
Now if you're willing to share the sadness.
If you're willing to share the tunnel.
Even if it's slowly.
But if you're willing to.
Then we can have a little bit of that here.
Because we're abandoned.
And we can slowly but surely and surely turn that into light.
But not as long as you're trying to hold on to it.
So it's important that to everyone that's in the light.
To give the chance.
Give the handout.
Go and punch as many holes as you see too.
In other people's tunnels.
But just make sure that you're not punching more than need to.
Because once it's great.
Twice it's great.
The third time it's on you.
Because it takes an enormous amount of energy for you to punch through a tunnel.
For someone not to walk through.
So why would you keep on punching?
Why not punch through someone else's.
Who's going to be willing to walk through.
If not at the first time at least at the second time.
Take a chance and appreciate the light that's within us.
Truly appreciate what it feels like to hold light on you and happiness on your plate.
Recognize where other people have already gone through.
And drain them their energies.
To punch through someone's tunnel.
So that you will make the mistake of not punching through it as well.
At least not more than needed.
Because the way that you punch it.
Might be different.
The other person might punch.
A hole of 5cm.
You might punch a hole of 5km.
And that's just because your plateau is larger.
So you can do more.
But why keep on doing more for someone not to appreciate.
And actually walk through.
Take the chance on themselves to walk through.
Just leave your light.
Leave your life.
Now I remember when I was through that tunnel.
And I had multiple people punching through.
At different stages.
Different shapes.
Different width.
And when I found the one.
That punched through that hole.
That I could fit in.
I took the chance of walking through.
Because I knew that that was the hole for me.
I wasn't trying to fit myself.
In a small hole because.
I could have only fit my hand in it.
Because that wasn't the place for me.
It wasn't the time for me.
I was holding too much baggage.
That I wasn't willing to shed.
For me to walk through.
Because walking.
More holes I saw.
More opportunities I saw.
I saw that every opportunity was an opportunity for me to shed something else.
So at one point I only passed through a finger.
By the fifth opportunity I passed through my whole arm.
Because I was putting through as much litter as I could.
It didn't matter how much it could fit.
I was putting. I was feeling that light.
Until it got to a point where there was no me left in the darkness.
It was all in the light.
And I had filled all those holes.
That I once had.
But what will it take.
For us to go through that.
If not taking a chance on us.
Know that we can survive the light.
It doesn't matter how bright it feels.
It only feels bright.
Because you're in the darkness itself.
Again.
If you shed light.
On someone that sees.
The amount.
Of impact is only going to be a certain amount.
But when you share.
When you share the light.
With someone that has never seen.
It's going to be even bigger.
It's going to be even more impactful.
It's going to be even a bigger chance on them.
But they have to take that chance on themselves.
To always, always take every opportunity you can.
To put yourself in that light.
But make sure.
That you're not trying to fill your whole self.
In that one light. In that one hole.
Because when you try to fit 100.
In 10.
In 90.
90% of you.
That gets lost in translation.
And you're trying to leave that 10% of you.
Why would you do that to yourself?
Why would you ever do that to yourself?
Choose to do that to yourself.
Because it's all a choice.
Everything that we do in life.
And that we don't do.
Saying and not saying are both a choice.
And they're both an answer.
Especially when there's a question.
So please take chances on yourself.
Walk through the light.
Recognizing which are holes and which are mirrors.
Because there's going to be so many frauds out there.
There's going to be so many mirrors.
Reflecting on the people's light.
There's going to be so many times.
Where you're going to be confronted with mirrors.
People talking about what life feels like.
Never truly knowing or feeling the light.
There's going to be so many people echoing what life.
Fulfilling life is.
And they're going to sound so convincing by the way.
They're going to sound so fucking convincing.
They're reflecting light to you.
Like the only thing that you see is that light.
You don't see the mirror or the panel at the end of it.
You just walk through.
Walk, walk, walk, walk, walk.
Blindly.
Because you're not questioning it.
You're not truly trying to look.
Where the light comes from.
Is it a source?
Or is it a reflection?
You're not also feeling that light.
Because if there's one thing.
Is that the source will never burn you.
It will worm you.
And it will warn you from the mirrors.
Because if there's one thing the mirror is great at doing.
Is reflecting other people's light.
And when you put that reflection on paper.
What you start seeing.
Because it's going to start burning.
Because it's not natural.
It's not meant to burn.
It's not meant to feel so overwhelming.
Unless of course again.
You're wearing a coat.
You're wearing your past with you.
You're not willing to open that coat.
Take down the zip.
Just be free.
Let yourself go.
You're not willing to shed the light.
Nope.
What am I saying?
You're not willing to shed the dread of sadness.
In order to walk in the light.
You're not willing to question.
Whether the light feels right.
And worse case than ever.
You know that light is burning you.
But you still decide to walk towards it.
And my question is.
Why would you ever do that to yourself?
Because we mistake overthinking.
And productive thinking.
Proactive thinking.
We think that sitting down and questioning something to get to its root.
Is overthinking.
Because we're doing it on purpose.
Without purpose.
And when you're sitting with yourself.
Take as much time as you can.
And want to give yourself to truly understand.
If something is pure.
If something is meant to be.
Or if something is walking you towards a hole that's going to lead you to the light.
Or if something is just walking you towards something that's only going to burn even more.
The longer you walk through it.
Or the longer you walk towards it.
And of course there's always the part.
Unfortunately I would say.
Where you don't walk.
You don't even take the chance of even question whether a light is pure or not.
Because you don't really want to see that light.
It's like you keep on placing shades.
Shade after shade after shade.
To avoid being in contact with that light.
When things are natural.
They're naturally benefiting you.
They're working towards you.
They're allowing you to know what a healthy.
Surrounding feels like for you to sprout into that tree that you're meant to be.
If there's one thing that I'll leave you with today is.
Please.
Question everything.
Get to the root of everything.
And never be satisfied.
With any type of light that comes towards you.
As you may know.
Not all light is pure light.
And not all light is truly lived.
You remember the blind person.
How can you ask a blind person what life feels like.
If they've never had the chance to experience it.
Now you might have two types of blinds.
One might just be.
Straight up honest.
I don't know.
I've never been there.
I haven't been there yet.
I'm working towards it.
I'm trying to push through my own tunnels.
So that I can see the light on the other side.
They're trying.
They might just be missing for now.
But every time that they miss.
That punch is becoming an iron fist.
And by the time they find that part of the tunnel.
That's just thin enough.
For them to push through.
They're going to be.
They're going to leave it.
Just because they're acknowledging the fact that they're not there yet.
But they're trying to find their way there.
And then there's going to be obviously the other blind person.
Unfortunately I would say it's the majority of individuals.
That we find nowadays.
Is they'll talk big game.
They'll describe light to you in a way that sounds appealing to someone.
That's never even grasped the concept of it.
Of course.
If you're telling 10% to a person that's on 0%.
They'll see that 10% as 100%.
But if you're telling that 10%.
To someone that knows 50%.
Then good luck trying.
So always, always, always be mindful.
Always, always question.
And never, never be taken advantage.
Have your own worth.
Find your own worth.
Create your own worth.
Find your own light.
Take the hand out when the light is being showed to you.
Just, you have a guide.
Because someone came through to punch that hole.
You have a guide.
You have someone that will walk you through it.
Just trust.
It'll work.
And you'll be fine.
And thank you for listening in.
And as always, we look forward to the next episode.
While in the meantime, we'll scroll below here on Spotify.
Where we can find the poll.
It's an amazing tool for us to collect a bit of feedback.
But also for us to build a pipeline of individuals that would like to use this platform.
To come and share their stories and dive into different topics.
You know, get the conversation started.
So thank you so much for that.
And yeah, I look forward to speaking with you soon.
Take care.
