- What if procrastination is a form of self-sabotage?
Like there's something that we know that if we did may
change our life, and we know that maybe we should be taking
step in that direction, but there's some reason we don't.
It's like, there's almost some invisible force
that's keeping us from actually doing it.
Now I know even sometimes,
like there's a cold plunge that I have like
right over there. It's a little freezer thing.
Or is it somewhere over there? Anyways,
there's a cold plunge over there somewhere.
And anytime in the morning, I'm getting ready to go into it.
I will go up to it.
And I know that I'm willing to be there like a minute,
minute and a half. And it's like 38 degrees it's very cold.
And I opened it up, and I look inside and I will just
sit there and find other things to do for like 10 minutes.
I will go in, I'll change the song on my sound system
thing so I can listen to it.
Like I will sit there and think about
what I need to do today. I'll check my emails.
I'll like go through things and I will wait like two
or three minutes. And by the time it's two or three minutes,
I'm like, "man I could've been out two minutes ago",
but there's something there's like a reason
that I'm not doing it. Not to say that, like, you know,
that's like an analogy for kind of what happens.
But sabotage is something that is keeping us
in comfortable territory.
And procrastination is a way of keeping that old identity
alive.
I know when I first started on YouTube back in 2017,
it was something that I knew I should have been doing for
like three years. But I waited,
I waited for all these current,
like I had all these excuses,
I need the right camera equipment. I need this.
I need that. I need like learn more ideas.
I need to learn how to edit and the main message,
and, the thing that changed everything
was when I just chose to start.
I just began, after like six months of making
two or three videos. And then I waited six months.
I then went daily on YouTube and that changed everything.
Now,
all that happened was I made one choice that shifted me
from an old identity that was procrastinating.
That was afraid to step into my true power.
And I made one choice that then stepped me into
a completely new reality and it changed everything.
But the thing that was holding me back was procrastination,
but understanding the mechanism that procrastination
is a way of staying the same,
because the same equals familiar.
Sometimes even though we know like
doing this thing may get me closer to my goals.
It'll hold us back
if there's pain that's associated with that.
Some of this pain also I think is subconscious.
I know that when I started making videos,
I had to start like not caring what people thought,
because I knew I'd get more judgment.
I knew that I'd also have to like be okay with more
attention being on me.
And these were things I wasn't really comfortable with.
And I looked back at my own childhood and I looked back at
my own like, like past,
and I can see maybe why. Have any of you ever felt like you
were afraid to shine? Because if you were to shine,
maybe you'd out shine one of your siblings,
maybe if you were to shine, then it's like,
it'd be a threat or like other people could judge you
you'd be on a pedestal.
That's something that I felt and there's are subconscious
things that were keeping me the same that were keeping me
from having to confront that level of my shadow.
So when we talk about transformation and things that will
really shift our lives more than anything else,
I think the key is really looking at our sense of identity.
Who do we believe we are? We are thinking, we are feeling,
we are acting consistent to whatever that identity is.
When we know that maybe where it looks like we're almost
making a new choice about who we are to step
into this new reality.
But what happens is procrastination is prolonging
that choice, because if we don't make that choice,
we don't have to confront the shadow
and all the things that come up.
So, the main message of today is something
that I tell a lot of people when I'm, I also help people go
full-time doing what they love.
Like I did my buddy Victor and Odo, and I helped do this.
You guys go to full-time purpose.com to check this out.
But basically so many people are these people with amazing
gifts, maybe they're healers,
maybe they're Tara card readers, maybe they're coaches.
And they have all these blocks. They have all these stories.
They tell themselves, well,
why they can't do it and what they realize, like, you know,
it's the same story as that I had where it's like,
there's this procrastination that's like afraid to leap into
this new reality because things will get brought up.
But the key in the transformation to this,
you want to know what it is?
It's to take the jump,
to start now, to start right now.
Okay.
If you start right now, guess what?
That stuff will come up. It'll come up regardless,
because it's the old identity that wants to say the same,
and the shadow stuff comes up, comes up
so you can look at it, let it go.
And you come out more powerful.
Even through this journey of the last
like three or four years being on YouTube,
there's different layers.
I've had to let go of myself where I can see that
like back in the day, when I was making videos,
I was really seeking significance. I wanted people to,
to acknowledge me and I wanted to have a big subscriber
account because I felt like that would make me more worthy.
And it's like something that I really, I really was seeking.
And now I look back and I'm like, whoa, I could let that go.
Why, why did I want that so much?
Was it because of childhood?
Maybe I didn't feel significant. I felt like if I got that,
then I would feel 100% where the whole incomplete, you know,
I think it's important to be become aware of these things
knowing, they're going to come up regardless.
We can either wait forever and stay in the like situation
that we're in,
or we can make a choice and we can start right now.
And as we start right now,
we start to put ourselves into a completely new reality.
So if you find yourself procrastinating,
just know it's a mechanism that keeps you safe. That's it.
But safe does not always equal happiness, safe,
maybe consistently being in a limiting reality.
And one of the biggest keys and things that I think will
transform your life is when you simply start,
start right now. So if this resonates with you,
