one of my favorite quotes is there's no such thing as losses only learning
experiences now I want you to imagine for just one second what would your life
be like if you lived by that philosophy because that's exactly what we're gonna
be looking at when we see what we can learn from jaclyn Hill not giving up
what's up everybody this is Chris from the rewired soul where we talk about the
problem but focus on the solution and if you're new to my channel my channel is
all about mental health and sometimes what I like to do is take different
topics going on in the YouTube community and try to see what we can learn from
people's mistakes as well as their successes so if you're into that stuff
makes you subscribe and bring that notification though and if you're not
yet follow me over on Instagram and Twitter at the rewired soul and real
quick for all of you loyal rewired soldiers out there who are in the shane
dawson palette giveaway that is happening tomorrow make sure you're
following me over on instagram because today i might be announcing one last way
to get an entry into the shane dawson giveaway all right an extra entry okay
so make sure you stay tuned alright so let's jump into this thing so the
other day the other day when Disney Plus launched I came across this really
badass tweet alright and it said Disney released a major streaming service
playing more errors than content and we're all still here launch that
imperfect thing you've been sitting on for months sis and I was like dang so
anyways I was getting the idea for this video when talking to one of my
subscribers over on Instagram in DMS after I shared that they're like I feel
I feel personally attacked what's going on and yeah she's been sitting on a
couple projects that she's worried about you know releasing because you know
whenever we're releasing anything and trust me I get it
I every time I release a video every time I release one of my books and
everything there's like a fear right that's holding us back and looking at
something like this like this is a prime example of why we push through that fear
and we release it anyways right like we have this issue and it's
actually a cognitive distortion called catastrophizing right like if people
don't like this thing the world is gonna come to an end and that my friends is
why we're in therapy to work on these cognitive distortions all right
but anyways when I was talking the subscriber it was right when jaclyn hill
was launching her new highlighters and everything and this was a prime example
so those of you who don't know about jacqueline hills 2019 she released some
lipsticks earlier this year and they had some issues alright so from the lab you
know that they came from they had things like hairs and um some people were
saying that was like metal in it and everything like that and they gave
everybody refunds she lost probably massive amounts of money and even worse
than that is just the reputation factor alright so the other day on twitter like
you know I saw Jacqueline was freaking out she was giving a lot of support from
her fans and then you know in her IG story she was talking about I'm trying
to record a video and she was just really scared and worried she was asking
for like prayers and everything I'm like what is what is happening but anyways
she just announced that through Jaclyn cosmetics she's releasing her new
product right in the same year that she had such a massive failure with the
lipstick launch okay and like I said like these videos they're not for Jaclyn
hill they're for all of you watching this okay so love Jaclyn hill hate
Jaclyn hill like one of the things that have has vastly improved my mental
health is looking at every single situation that I come across and say huh
what can I learn from this and what we can learn from this with Jaclyn hill is
not giving up all right like she has a dream she has a passion which is makeup
and yeah she's had some issues but like here's the thing this is what I want you
to think about like imagine if all of us gave up right
imagine if just people throughout history gave up like nothing would have
happened like imagine Ford Henry Ford right who
made the first automobile imagine if he just like had a flop with his initial
designers or who do so just one event a car you know what I mean look at the
Wright brothers right you know how many like messed up flying machines those
fools made before they actually figured it out you know what I mean imagine if
they just gave up because people were talking smack back in the day before
social media was happening and newspapers were saying look at these
idiot brothers trying to create a machine that flies right what if they
let their fear and worrying about what other people think hold them back you
know what I'm saying and lastly like and he has such an
amazing quote is Thomas Edison okay the inventor of the mother-effing light bulb
okay so like he tried so many times so many times to do this and when he
finally did it there's this there's a story I'm not even sure if it's true or
not but I will remember this quote until the day I die
so some jerk reporter was like hey hey Thomas how'd it feel to fail 1000 times
trying to create this light bulb and he's like I didn't fail a thousand times
it's like I found a thousand different ways making a light bulb didn't work
think about that for a second right think about that like you might think
about all of your awful relationships and everything like that like I used to
be a terrible toxic relationships but that sort of looking at him I'm just
like oh I just found a lot of different ways that relationships or the way I
pick my relationships don't work and that is what I'm seeing
with Jaclyn hill is this opportunity and I hope to god it inspires her like even
if you don't like her makeup even if you don't want anything to do with her
makeup I just look at people look at people who are out there and not giving
up so I can definitely relate to this like
for those of you who don't know I had a pretty rough 2019 - not as rough as
Jacqueline Hill but I had a pretty rough year myself and you know how many people
I have telling me to quit like all this year like this one actually just came
from the other day check this comment out lol your videos
are tanking stop YouTube and go take care of your family
you selfish clock what the hell apparently this guy didn't see the video
you made last week about working two jobs while still pursuing your passion
right listen to Wyatt he knows what he's talking about like I want you to think
about it real quick like imagine if I just gave up
oh just you know give up on something I'm very passionate about which is
helping people you know with their mental health and addiction recovery and
everything like that but you know I want to finish this video and just say like
look at these different aspects of your life like maybe you're not an
entrepreneur maybe you're not trying to start a business or a makeup line or
you're not trying to invent a car or a flying machine or a light bulb but for
example and anybody out there who struggles with addiction or even if
you're in recovery like I relapsed many times before I got sober seven years ago
okay imagine if I just gave up right like I always say my secret to sobriety
the way I went from chronically relapsing to staying sober for this long
which is seven years is I found a bunch of ways that staying sober didn't work
alright I say my secret to sobriety is doing the exact opposite okay so let's
think about jobs maybe you're struggling with finding a job and everything like
that you've been shut down on interviews or your applications aren't even getting
looked at or whatever right that doesn't mean give up just keep trying if you've
gone to interviews and you screw them up you've learned what potential employers
want to hear from you okay maybe you're working on your mental health maybe
you've tried therapy a few times maybe you've tried other methods such as
journaling and meditation and everything like that
mean give up maybe you just found therapists that weren't good for you and
now you know what to look for in a better therapist maybe you know
meditation and journaling didn't work for you but maybe more physical activity
will work for you right we just try different things and see what we should
try in the future okay and another big one
is like I said earlier relationships so many of us just absolutely suck at
relationships okay but like one of the biggest mistakes I think a lot of us
make as we look at our past relationships would say oh well I can't
believe I wasted so much time so much time with that person I wasted it no you
did a baby alright you learned a lot from that
relationship maybe you learned different ways to not handle disagreements and
arguments and fights right maybe you can look back to when you first met that
person what what was wrong with the decision you made right were there red
flag so you should have noticed now you could take that into looking for your
next relationship right because there is no such thing as losses only learning
experiences all right but anyways that's all I got for this video make sure to
follow me over on Instagram and Twitter at the rewired soul okay but if you like
