is it just me or do you ever look around at all the different YouTube channels
there's so many of them but after a while you start to realize that they're
just a clone of one another and they're all saying the same things covering the
same topics and yeah it's just kind of interesting what is up everybody this is
Chris from the rewired so are we talking about the problem but focus on the
solution if you're new to my channel typically what I try to do is take two
the topics going on in the YouTube community and I'm a huge believer that
we can always learn something from the content that we're consuming so if any
of that stuff makes you subscribe and bring that notification about and follow
me on Instagram and Twitter at the rewired soul all right so before I jump
into Emelia thoughts the one and only amazing a million thoughts I got to give
you a little story time so this might be the last video that I do today I might
do one more I'm not sure it's been an interesting day right so I had a couple
different titles for this video that I was playing around with one of the
titles I was gonna make was analyzing my son and then I was like no no no no no
let's do analyzing the rewired soul I thought that would be interesting and
then I started to think about where this video is gonna go and the main point of
this video is I want to I want to discuss you know pretty much the idea
that anybody who's done anything amazing or noteworthy they took a risk
they didn't conform to the popular ideas and just blend in with the crowd they
did something different right and I was thinking about it you know and I was
gonna use examples like Martin Luther King right you know what a crazy idea
was having black kids and white kids go to the same school and having equal
rights and everything like that that was crazy then I could just imagine people
in the comments that you like or you compare yourself to Martin Luther King
and I was gonna be like well you know there's people like the Wright brothers
people thought those dudes were insane trying to fly and defy gravity and I
could imagine people in the comment section but oh my god this guy's really
comparing himself to the Wright brothers and then I was like you know what maybe
it's safer to talk about Amelia fart alright maybe if I do that I can't even
compare myself to a million farm because there is only one Amelia fart but again
the idea of this video is is doing something different like and that's
something that I respect the hell out of emilia fart for and you know I watched I
watched his stuff when I can and I love how she talks about mental health but
like no matter what at the end of the day the thing that I respect the hell
out of is she does her own thing and it's different and it stands out right
like no matter what your opinion is of her it's different you know what I mean
and I think that's something that's inspirational like I I can only imagine
how many people she inspires decide look do you think be different and she opens
up and gets vulnerable and talks about the struggles of being different and all
that kind of stuff but what I'm what I'm getting at is you know originally when I
talked about those original titles for this video I was thinking about it like
cuz half of you might think I'm having a mental breakdown or something like that
today but something that guides me like there's a method to my madness and
something that guides me as I often think what would I tell my son what
advice would I give my son in the situation so those of you who've been
watching my videos today you know I've been like just kind of analyzing things
and opening up and discussing things that I already wrote about in my book
some of the things I haven't and everything like that but something that
I try to pass down to my son is something that my
dad always said to me since I was a kid and he he always said to me be a leader
not a follower right my dad always instilled in me like you lead alright
don't just follow what everybody else is doing like you you do what you think
will make this world a better place right and that's you know what I want to
teach my son as well like do I want my son to be a follower or a leader like I
was saying like I love Amelia fart because she's doing something different
like most of you guys watching this you know how many drama channels that you
subscribe to how many commentary channels are you subscribed to like what
is really different about them aside from like maybe a joke here or there
they a lot of them have the same opinions and talk about the same angles
of stories and everything like that but Amelia fart is doing something different
right and that inspires me like when I think about my content and like doing
something different and what I would tell my son like for example what I did
my apology videos I did something that is not the norm of what people do when
they make apology video videos people make one apology video and no matter how
you make them the community will rip it apart but I did four separate apology
videos and everybody's like oh my god is this man insane and I'm seeing that I'm
like why why just because it's not what you're used to seeing right like I'm
half-black and half-white people weren't used to seeing a black dude with a white
woman alright and some of you have been watching my content today you're like oh
my god this is this is abnormal this guy is uploaded like six or seven
videos today that is and is not normal but a game like what would I tell my son
if my son got the idea to do something like this what would I say to him
what I'm talking about I'd be like why do you want to do this what are your
motives behind doing this well I do think it might help anybody do you think
it might inspire somebody you know what I mean and if the the answers were right
I'd be like then who cares what people think if you're doing something
different like do something different try to do something that hasn't been
done before I encourage you the viewer to do this too like one of the reasons
I've had so many amazing life experiences is because I'm constantly
trying to think outside of the box I'm trying to look at things from different
angles I'm trying to see what maybe other people are seeing like what are we
missing right here what could we do differently the first time that that
really benefited me was when I was about 18 19 years old and I started to travel
the world as a writer for eSports right because I was doing something different
but here's the thing if you want to do something different if you want to do
something amazing you gotta take risks right like because some of the risks we
take we are gonna fall flat on our face right
but that can't deter us from taking risks like what else do I teach my son
right is there's no such thing as losses all there is is learning experiences
that's it you know what I mean and you know I imagine if my son ever
went through what I went through with being canceled this year and what would
I tell him you know what I would tell him I would tell him don't let people
who don't know you tell you who you are all right other people are you know able
to have their opinions of you but it doesn't mean that they're right because
only you know your true intentions only you know your true motives you are the
person who to go to sleep with you tonight you know
what I mean and that's something that I try to teach my son because trust me
he's 10 years old he deals with little you know bullies and weird stuff like
that or even circling back to a million for like people say all sorts of weird
things about Amelia thorne but you know she she knows who she is and one of the
most difficult parts of the the drama channel is coming after me the
commentary channel is coming after me the online hate mob coming after me
they're trying to tell me who I was right and it really messed me up for a
while they were saying oh all you care about is money you don't really care
about anybody you're you're being dangerous and all these other things and
I'm like wow like Who am I am I am I just this different person am I not who
I thought I was and it's taken me months to get back to where I am and again this
is something that I want to instill mice in my son something I want to instill in
all of you as well don't let people tell you who you are
and if my son goes through what I've been through and friends or people he
considered friends abandon him when I tell him to just give up or what
I tell him to push forward when I tell him that these are awful terrible people
or what I tell them empathize with them forgive them you
know some of these people are just doing what's in their best interest and we got
to forgive them for that not everybody is gonna be the same type of friend that
we're going to be but that doesn't mean that you give up all right like even if
everybody's telling you no you know what I mean like stand up for what you
believe in and do your thing like there are so many
things that have happened throughout history where people like oh this is
dangerous right like people thought that the printing press was gonna be
dangerous you know what I mean still to this day you have people saying
oh my god smartphones are killing you know our ability to be social and
they're gonna destroy the world right like people freaked out when you try to
do something ooh and different but I just want you to
sit back and think about this or in the video with this I want you to imagine
every great thing that's ever happened right from ameliafe art to the Wright
brothers to Martin Luther King to even like the electricity that you have think
about all those people and think about if they gave up just because some people
disagreed with them just because people told them that you can't do this imagine
what a world would be if all of those people just quit because people didn't
like what they were doing or agreed with what they're doing all right I just want
you to sit back and think about that for a little bit but anyways like I said my
rule of thumb when I'm coming up with ideas and doing things when I want to
give up and I don't want to do things or when I'm inspired to do something I use
my son as this kind of guiding compass and I'm like what would I tell him to do
in this situation and even if you don't have a child maybe you can figure out
your person maybe it's just a friend or a family member what would you tell that
person in that situation right would you tell them to be a leader or a follower
would you tell them to be afraid and give up right anyways that's all I got
