were gonna do something a little
different I want to give you guys my 25
things that I learned in 25 years on the
25th of December so we're doing that but
I just had my birthday I wanted to do
this this year because last year I said
I would I didn't get around to doing it
and a lot of people were actually asking
for it now I'm not going to pretend like
I'm some all-knowing guru like I know
like I have the answer to everything in
life I've experienced everything I've
gone through everything that's not true
I still have a lot to learn
I'd still know nothing basically I'm
learning every single day along with you
there's still so much for me to
understand and so much growth for me I'm
only 25 I am however perceptive I'm
hungry for knowledge I'm very open and
I'm very curious I've read thousands of
books I've lived in other countries I
travel a lot and talk with strangers
often she's not something that I'm
advocating by the way don't talk to
strangers if you don't feel safe but
that's something that I do so over that
time I have gotten a bit of information
and especially this year this year was a
very big growing year for me started the
year off in a completely different place
than I'm ending it and that's amazing
crazy crazy how life changes but I've
learned so much and I'd like to share
some of that knowledge with you so some
of these things are going to be things
that you hear me saying in all my videos
all the time but they're things I
literally learned this year or that
we're really cemented into my experience
this year so bear with me they're very
important if they're on this list I'll
go into detail for some of the
that I've learned and others will be
pretty self-explanatory as this is a
different type of video I don't want to
just sit here and list everything off
for you so let's head to the outside
world yeah that's cop number one
everything in life is happening for us
not to us you never lose you only learn
this is something you've heard me say a
countless numbers of times it's
something that I learned this year I
think that's something that you can only
really understand once you really take a
look at the struggles in your life
everything you've struggled with every
issue you've had has been there for a
reason you're not a victim in life life
happens for you life works for you the
universe gives you everything that you
need when we fail it's so easy to give
up on everything so easy to think whiny
or that you can't do it it's so easy to
slip into the victim rule this lesson
taught me that we are not victims of
circumstances look at your failures at
your rejections at these experiences as
learning and growing lessons because
that is what they truly are we are put
onto this earth to learn to grow to
experience and sometimes those
experiences are going to be negative but
we need those negative experiences
because they are there for us to grow
from them number two say now when you
want to say no this was a really hard
lesson for me in fact for the majority
of my life for 24 years I spent most of
my time doing things I don't want to do
to make other people happy
I just wanted to please everybody to
keep everybody happy you don't mean to
do anything wrong with this type of
behavior but we're really causing so
much damage to ourselves we are
subconsciously telling ourselves that
our desires and our needs are not as
important as those of other people it
still is hard for me to say no but I am
practicing every single day and every
time I do I realize that's not that big
of a deal people aren't going to care
that much if you say no I used to get so
scared of the reaction that would
receive from the other person if I said
no but now I see that their reaction
isn't that big of a deal nothing happens
it's not like somebody's asking me for a
kidney or something being life changing
now that I am able to say no however I
often get this feeling
relief I put myself higher up on my
priorities list and that gives me more
time to do the things I want to do which
in turn puts me in a higher vibration
and makes me happier and healthier don't
sacrifice yourself for other people it
might seem like the right thing to do
but in reality their lives won't change
that much if you say no number three
there are far better things ahead than
those that we left behind number four in
order to live a complete and happy whole
life we have to start understanding that
we are part of a whole we are not only
individuals we are all one we are all
brothers and sisters there is no
separation the hate one is to hate all
and to hate all is to hate yourself
number five nothing in life that we
desire is more important than peace of
mind that really is what we all are
looking to obtain and what are all our
efforts in life our culminating - it's
true when people say that time goes by
faster as you get older I've noticed it
every single year and it's pretty scary
but there is an answer to that
meditate learn to become mindful in
presence being presence is the only way
to slow down time while we can't control
the actions of others and we shouldn't
try controlling our own actions
controlling what happens within us is
doable and easy once you stop thinking
it's hard and take the reins back though
our paths are important in healing and
knowing our presence cells we shouldn't
carry our stories in our past as if they
are the very definition of us they're
new we are pure every single morning
when we wake up we don't have to be the
person we were yesterday and you can
throw out that baggage that you've been
lugging on your back your whole life
that's been weighing you down you don't
have to define yourself by your past you
don't have to consider who you were
three years ago as who you are now you
don't have to think about the failures
or the trials the tribulations
everything that you've gone through is
who you are now in fact you shouldn't
even if it's a good thing you shouldn't
define yourself by the past my memories
will feel lighter
if you cut ties with who you think you
are because of your past victims or
people with rough pasts find their power
when doing this number nine people
aren't thinking about you as much as you
think they are don't worry so much about
the opinions and judgments of others we
see that people care so much when they
really don't so do whatever you want
be happy eat that extra cookie we're
time traveling isn't as difficult as it
might seem to somebody who has never
planned their own trip but I'm your
first trip make it easy on yourself and
as inexpensive as possible you'll open
yourself up to the possibility of
traveling more and more you're gonna
learn how to do it the best way to do a
lessons I've learned from traveling are
more important to me and are more part
of who I am and how I deal with my life
on a daily basis then anything I've ever
learned in school or even in books
traveling forms you and shapes you it's
a stronger more well-rounded and open
person also travel is the only thing
you'll never regret spending money on
our inner beauty truly reflects on the
outside even when a beautiful person is
angry jealous sad insecure they'll look
less attractive the way you feel on the
inside and the thoughts that you think
will literally change the way you look
and how attractive you are number 12
honesty will always be the best answer
even when you're in a situation where
you feel like loving a white lie even is
going to make the other person feel
better it's not lies hurt people lies
are hard to carry around lying won't
save you the truth will save you and I
want to see the best thing to do is to
live in a way where you don't have to
lie about anything that you do or to
become more honest with yourself and
what you think is right and wrong number
13 being present allows you to be more
alert and when you're alert the universe
has an easier time guiding you you will
be prison
with people situations and opportunities
that will help that are there for you
when we live in our mind in the past or
in the future we miss these things and
therefore our journey is extended in the
gold stays farmer 14 when you start
trying to make everybody else happy when
you stop trying to impress people people
will be happier with you and people will
be impressed with you because who you
are when you're not trying that's so
hard
it's who people want to be around also
when you stop doing those things people
will start doing that for you nothing
good ever happens I am this one's tried
and true guys just go to bed eat
something alone just go to bed you gonna
like give honey mama let's tell them
number 16 don't make decisions while in
a heightened state of emotions threat
breathe calm down
return to your Center then decide that's
right you can change any situation with
a quick change of perception you might
feel like a slave to your emotions but
really you're always in control
sometimes aha the hardest lessons are
the ones your soul needs the most right
Zaza Amen sister right
too often I would ask other people for
their opinions and to make decisions for
me and I've learned that that's actually
a cop-out we always have the answers
within us we have to stop running to
other people and other mediums for
validation we have the ability to make
the right decision at all times if we
just stay very silent very quiet and
listen to understand human conflict we
have to look at humanity in our world
through energy who in the room is
sucking whose energy you will have
harmonious relationships once you
develop your energy and once the people
in your life develop their energy to
have symbiotic energetic relationships
in which you are constantly feeding and
consuming each other's energy and
constantly giving each other energy
consuming and giving is a form of love
21
bad dreams have the most important
messages 22 there's a direct link
between stress and
these 23 you can't find happiness in
another person you have to find it
within yourself and then when you find
another happy person you have double the
happiness be grateful for everything
that you can't even think about losing
that you can't stand to lose being very
grateful and voice it often 24.5 because
this one is really important this comes
from me and Sasha don't overcomplicate
simple things Hey bad dumb things are
just meant to be simple hmm guys
approved by siphon all right we're back
now this whole list wasn't in any
particular order by did save the most
important lesson for last 25 is all
about love
love is the answer to everything I told
you guys that in my awakening video
there was a portion that I had left out
that was so important and it was such a
message in such a commentary and the
human condition I'd forgotten the most
important part of my spiritual awakening
when I had that consciousness shift
those two times in life where my
consciousness shifted it kept telling me
I received the answer to all these
things but I never really told you what
the answer was and it took me talking to
you guys to remember that for it to be
triggered in my mind again and what it
was is that I understood the love
unconditional love for yourself for the
planet for other people for animals for
plants for everything for the stars for
everything around us unconditional love
is the answer to everything love with no
boundaries our capacity to love is
limitless it's huge just have to
understand that the answer to all those
math problems and science problems that
I was presented and given the answer to
in my consciousness shift in my
spiritual awakening the answer was love
that's just how it ended everything I
had learned from this euphoric
connection to the universe was that if
you always choose the more loving option
you will always make the right choice
you will always do the correct thing
make every step in love and you will end
up exactly where your heart desires to
be or somewhere even greater
I hope number 25 that wasn't too fake I
just tried to summarize it but that was
the second part of my spiritual
awakening and I hope you guys enjoyed
