I went to the woods because I wanted to
live deliberately I wanted to live deep
and suck out all the marrow of life to
put sarau all that was not life and not
when I had come to die discover that I
had not lived if you become a better
person then your you start to be good
for things you know you can fix problem
[Music]
there are going to be plenty of times in
your life when you're not happy there
might be years and so it's a shallow
boat in a very rough ocean happiness is
something that descends upon you
everyone knows that it comes upon you
suddenly happiness will descend upon you
from time to time and that's the best
you've got
and then also perhaps during sorrowful
times or worse evil times people that
are depressed or just realistically
reacting to a crummy circumstance in
their life realistic reaction to a bad
spot in their life the fact that you've
strengthened your character and that
you're aiming at the highest that you
can conceptualize that'll give you the
moral fortitude to endure without
becoming corrupted during those times
and to be someone who can be relied upon
in a crisis I think I see a lot of
depressed people that in a sense it
makes sense right I mean you look at
their life and you say well if you're
not down about this you should be let's
have a dream which isn't under control
well something is gonna happen to me
that I don't know what its gonna be and
you you would dig that and come out of
that and say wow that was a close shave
wasn't it then you would get more and
more adventurous and you would make
further and further out Gamble's as to
what you would dream and finally you
would dream where you are now you would
dream the dream of living the life that
you are actually living today should be
pursuing who you could be can be the
first thing it's like because you're not
who you could be and you know it you
have guilt and shame and regret hey what
are you reacting to that you're
depressed about let's put that on a
to-do list and start like you said write
it down and start crossing those things
off let's figure what's an action plan
to change this action plan to change
this LexA yourself for your lack of
discipline and your procrastination and
all your bad habits you know perfectly
well that you're not who you could be
and god only knows who you could be and
so that's how you should be striving
that's what you should be striving for
pain is a motivator
the pain is not necessarily always bad
if you're in pain it's gonna motivate
you to move to change something and to
match that with drugs to dull that pain
with drugs it's not necessarily a good
thing it's Murphy's Law
things go wrong they always seem to
happen at once and they just compound on
top of each other and they all hit you
at the same time my heart broken is
there any purpose in my pain can you
contextualize my crisis can you make
sense out of my sense or did I just go
through all of that nothing that doesn't
be
give up
it means the opposite
it means it's time for you to fight
harder to dig in need this time for me
to go to war
that starts with one of the
fundamental laws of combat leadership
prioritizes what's the biggest part
what's causing the most stress
attempting to formulate some conception
of the highest good that you can
conceive of that you can articulate
because why not aim for that it's like
your life is short and and it's
troublesome and perhaps your need to do
something worthwhile with it and if so
then you should do the most worthwhile
thing and you should figure out what
that is for you
everybody is fundamentally the ultimate
reality not God in a politically kingly
sense but God in the sense of being the
self that deep down basic whatever there
is and you're all that only you're
pretending
[Music]
Wow
just
a purpose that gave me so much way why
did you let me last the matter what
crazy or I'm somebody that would pay me
back or invested all these children that
wished I had a parent why did you put me
in an environment where I would be
appreciated
why did you give me a nice neat life
that made sense why is about alive so
complicated
let's have a dream which isn't under
control well something is going to
happen to me that I don't know what it's
gonna be you would dream the dream of
living the life that you are actually
living today
