You know, I come to the realization that I truly don't believe that there's anything external or outside of you that can actually bring you fulfillment. Uh that could be people, that could be things, that could be pleasures, feelings, whatever. I don't think that anything outside of what you are uh within at your core can actually bring fulfillment to you.
And we can see that simply by the fact that you know um nowadays in you know first world countries we have the most conveniences right um the most comforts and ever and yet the happiness rate is the highest in countries that actually have the least amount right so I think that it's actually quite a trap to uh to look at anything from the perspective of I need this thing or this person or whatever to feel some type of way because when you think about it to be happy is a state of being and a state of being can exist with or without anything outside of you. It's almost a choice, you know, because it it's all about your perspective and your outlook which comes from within how you choose to see things, right?
And so when you really take a look at uh how society has kind of programmed and conditioned us to thinking we need whether it's money or a partner or you know fame or whatever uh you can sort of see a pattern that happens and I'll tell you guys from my own experience, right? So, I got 100,000 views. I remember it was like two years ago. So excited, so happy, you know, felt like a relief. I got a million views. Boom. You know, same thing with followers, too. You know, 100,000 followers, million followers. My most view video today on TikTok has 60 million views. And now when I get 100,000 views, I just like I'm like, "Oh, yeah. Million views." I'm like, "Yeah, in order for me to film something now, I have to get like a 100 million views and it has to be 200 million." It never ends.
That's how hedonism works. That's how anything external to anything outside of you works. you need more and more to feel more and more. So if you attribute your contentness or your fulfillment to those things, then you will always be a slave to needing more and more. And the thing is, the reason why there's such a trap is because it feels like fulfillment. It's like a glimpse, right? You get it temporarily, but it goes away. And that's how you know it's not real. That's how you know it's phony. It's it's imitation because it comes and it goes, and then you need more to get it again. So it's it's just you know a a you know a false image an illusion and the true contentness and fulfillment comes from yourself.
And I had to have this huge ego death years ago when I realized like I'm building this plastic to fuel reactor. I want to do something great for the earth. But it's not my purpose. As crazy as that sounds my purpose has to come from within. selfmastery building myself because through building myself I then have the the place within myself to be a a light for the entire world to inspire everybody to build a machine anything outside of you is just a reflection of your internal mastery you know as they say as within so without and so this goes to everything you know things like lust grow with you problems struggles grow with you so you need to Pass your
