1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:09,480
Sometimes the amount of energy that you need to put in is what the process itself demands

2
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:17,420
and not what you feel like or not what you've already put in or also to some extent not

3
00:00:17,420 --> 00:00:21,520
how much time you've put into the process itself.

4
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:32,100
I think this topic or this ideology has kind of made itself very apparent to me today and

5
00:00:32,100 --> 00:00:37,800
I'm going to take you through my thinking process and how I've kind of churned on this

6
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:41,540
idea.

7
00:00:41,540 --> 00:00:48,940
So I think I've been thinking back to A levels which is kind of wild and I think something

8
00:00:48,940 --> 00:00:57,320
kind of stuck with me that I understood back then that I really didn't kind of meditate

9
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:05,520
on and use to its full extent and it's kind of weird to apply certain concepts that are

10
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:09,720
more tailored for one aspect to life to another aspect.

11
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:14,840
With regards to this generally I'm applying chemistry which is something that I usually

12
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:19,240
don't talk about because I hated chem.

13
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,080
No I'm kidding.

14
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:26,880
But one thing that I was thinking about in general was like activation energy and I'm

15
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:34,460
no chemist but what I understood from my level chemistry is that we had different types of

16
00:01:34,460 --> 00:01:42,640
reactions and within reactions themselves we would have reactants and at the end of

17
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,760
the reaction we would have products as we all know.

18
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:46,760
Some of us would know.

19
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:50,560
My bad that sounds shady.

20
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:56,600
But something that I kind of learned from A levels is that we had these diagrams that

21
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,040
were called energy profiles.

22
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:07,000
We were kind of introduced to oh actually we had these concepts being expanded on but

23
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,520
they were not introduced in A levels.

24
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:18,720
We were kind of learning about different types of reactions endothermic reactions and exothermic

25
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:28,760
reactions and how these reactions in themselves have certain profiles and the concept of activation

26
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:38,720
energy kind of stuck very very much with me and I think I've been learning more how this

27
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:45,680
process or this aspect of a reaction is very applicable in our lives.

28
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:51,480
In general I think when we look at the certain things that we want in life and certain processes

29
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:59,120
that we want to step into that bring forth transformation in us as humans we tend to

30
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:08,160
often have endothermic reactions to some extent but with respect to us actually moving from

31
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:18,680
one state to another maybe a state where you had access of usually negative things and

32
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:24,080
you want to move down to a state where you have less of that.

33
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:30,320
I would say that those situations would have exothermic reactions in a way and I'm going

34
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:35,800
to explain why I've chosen to use these concepts.

35
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:42,840
With regards to endothermic reactions I think that we usually have the reactants and in

36
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:49,320
life I would say that the reactants are certain character traits or certain things that we

37
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:57,000
want to change and these might be simple these might be maybe working on your financial goals

38
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:02,640
you know improving your financial literacy improving your spiritual life improving different

39
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:09,200
aspects of your life whatever that may be you want to move from one state where you

40
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:17,840
were some way in a lower level to a higher level and in actually moving from one state

41
00:04:17,840 --> 00:04:24,960
to another in this regard you kind of have to go through a similar energy profile that

42
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,040
normal reactants do.

43
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:34,000
See there's this stage where you know you're there you have the same I would say level

44
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:41,720
of financial literacy or the same level of certain characteristic you wanted to change

45
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:51,060
and often we tend to want to draw energy as reactants would from the external environment

46
00:04:51,060 --> 00:04:56,920
and with respect to our goals this might be actually you know doing work you know reading

47
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:04,880
books going to courses going to seminars networking and trying to actually take yourself from

48
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:12,080
one level of a skill to another and often when you do this process I feel like we often

49
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:20,320
get very discouraged because we sometimes get this energy from the external world and

50
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:25,760
we don't see much changing sometimes we do see some changes but often we don't see much

51
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:34,000
changing and I think that's because we kind of give up before we meet the required energy

52
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:41,840
activation energy for certain life processes and activation energy in its senses the energy

53
00:05:41,840 --> 00:05:49,880
that is kind of needed to kind of in a high level I'm not going to make it very accurate

54
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:55,080
it is a certain amount of energy that is needed to kind of break all the bonds in your reactants

55
00:05:55,080 --> 00:06:00,960
and bring them to this weird state that we call the transition state that is of a higher

56
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:06,380
energy level and that kind of breaks down to form something more stable and this thing

57
00:06:06,380 --> 00:06:10,960
is usually higher than what you initially had.

58
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:17,280
With regards to our goals like I said we move from a state of you know having our normal

59
00:06:17,280 --> 00:06:28,920
characteristics having our unchanged characteristic in a way then we kind of hone in on our craft

60
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:34,800
we kind of get all this energy from the external environment and we move when we've required

61
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:41,040
the right amount of energy to this weird transition state and I think it's a crazy thing that

62
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:47,760
the transition state is above your reactant I mean your products because often when we

63
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:53,400
actually do all of these things you're going to find out that in the process you have learned

64
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:59,480
so much things that some of them are in excess and some of them won't be needed for you to

65
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:05,360
actually be the person you need to be in the end and that's when we kind of move down the

66
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:13,920
curve and get to this place within the reaction where you lose energy and you get to your

67
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:20,680
final state your stable state and usually that is the result that we want in life.

68
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:27,320
One thing that I've noticed though is that like I said we usually fail to notice that

69
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:33,820
the energy that is required for us to change from one place will change from one state

70
00:07:33,820 --> 00:07:40,120
to another is actually not determined by how you feel it is actually not determined by

71
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:47,520
how much time you've put into the process itself but rather it is determined by the

72
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:54,280
process is determined by who you are with regards to the process we can get into maybe

73
00:07:54,280 --> 00:08:03,800
the calculation side of things but I think in a way if we change our perspective from

74
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:10,000
looking at how much we are working and not seeing results we could actually understand

75
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:17,840
that certain processes need a certain amount of energy that they demand and in knowing

76
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:25,440
this we kind of grind knowing that someday what needs to happen will happen in our lives

77
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:30,760
what needs to happen with respect to certain goals will happen as we continue grinding

78
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:36,840
and I think it applies to so many concepts we can talk about the law of compounding effect

79
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:44,000
you know if you do small if you take small steps towards something over time all of these

80
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:50,240
small steps accumulate to make something huge and I think this concept applies really well

81
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:58,200
to exothermic reactions instances where you probably have loads of negative energy loads

82
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:03,440
of bad habits and bad characteristics that you need to change that you need to break

83
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:12,920
down and in a way I don't know I want to live this out for you guys in a way I feel like

84
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:20,680
these reactions kind of touch in different aspects of our lives it can be used I feel

85
00:09:20,680 --> 00:09:25,400
like the wisdom from the things that we've learned in the past the wisdom from things

86
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:33,840
that we kind of see around us can kind of lead us and help us with respect to different

87
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:40,480
goals in life I don't know this was just like my thought process over this I hope that I

88
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:45,440
didn't make it too complicated but I just wanted to share and I hope that you guys will

89
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:51,240
share what you think or whatever came into your mind when you were listening to this

90
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:58,440
and as you are watching this video with that said hit the link check out our workspace

91
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:09,240
I think I've posted some sort of article that is well arranged with respect to this concept

92
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:14,560
