I heard that God once asked a human, "Why when I went to so much trouble to make you unique among all humans who ever lived or whoever will live, did you spend so much time trying to be someone else."
If we had free will, this would be true. We have influence, not control.. we have agency, not free will. But we can arm ourselves with good habits and the best habit of them all is to be free from circumstances, learn to generate happiness no matter what. It's just a switch in your brain. Finding it is like whistling.. seems impossible at first. But it's a nack, nothing more...then you deal with past trauma and you are free.. Then the hard part comes, because there is no more reason to NOT sit in a corner drooling contently.. engaging in the world of 'problems' becomes a choice and quite a hard one to make. But most people (from historic sources, like teachers, Buddhas and Jezusses and such) make it by tethering themselves to empathy. As a desire, the desire to make others suffer less seems pretty harmless.
@@Ludifant We often have no control over the curve balls life throws us. What we can control is our attitude. I work as a corrections officer in a maximum security prison. Inmates that want to be happy by changing their experiences (i.e. escape) are universally miserable. In contrast, those inmates who learn to generate happiness from within regardless of their experiences become almost saint like.
i'm a different me than i was 5 days ago. Was wanting this for a long time but it never came cause til now i had no good examples. we need examples to triangulate to navigate to our new YOU otherwisse we may just end up babbling away to ourselves instead speaking a new language.
Know thyself was written somewhere important. Nothing in excess was written next to it. Loveing yourself is important, it's impossible to love anyone else until you can.
Sometimes making a decision to change is all it takes. I think it's best to make the decision to ACT differently in discipline until the rest of you actually can catch up..
What we are at our most fundamental is change.. an ever changing adaptation to circumstances by a bunch of cells working together to support specialized "brain" cells that hold an opinion about who they are..All to keep working together a little longer by having the ability to solve problems even before they arrive. We are freaking awesome
Wise, brilliant and inspirational. Probably one of the best videos I've ever seen on RUclips. Thank you Rodney and have a super freaking awesome day and stuff!!! 😁 ❤️
The positive message to take away: You can change and you are in control of that process. Nothing you have more control over than your mind, right? Right??? I wanna hug you, Rodney. You're a super freaking awesome guy and stuff.
...you, 😂❤ how you seamlessly graft into your character role...almost gives Marilyn Monroe a run for her money...making people laugh is a great way to get your words or thoughts into them...and your words and thoughts are redeeming and bring clarity, guess I am officially impressed.
thanks. trying to work at things right now. don’t know what can happen later but we are trying to do something even if our body says “no, no” thanks for the video like this. they really motivated
I've recently discovered that you can still be happy when you are fighting for your life.. and I credit most of this to you @Rodney Norman Thank you 😊❤
I was me , but then I was like ya know I don't like you like this , so then I was like , how bout you like you anyhow..n so I did and then that version I was after that became the you that I was satisfied in. I'm thankful now 😊 thank you🥰
It's not that easy... A lot of my students asked about motivation, which is hard if your habits are constricting. The way out is baby steps and understanding what motivation is. I wish I'd told them about the bouncy castle slide. If you are grown up and take that particular slide, you get stuck. You hang in a kind of pouch as the bouncy castle slide sags under your weight. What you do is you hop. And you slide a bit until you sag... this is discipline. Now, motivation is not forcing yourself. Motivation is feeling the undulation you set up by your hopping in the bouncy castle. If you get the right rhythm, the bouncy castle helps with your hops and gives you an immense feeling of flow... this is motivation and why sometimes you don't have it... it's the wrong moment or you didn't set up an undulation... your brain works the same way. It conserves energy. So anything you do, it tries to make it easier, this includes moping around feeling sorry for yourself... so try to minimize that or it'll get easier. The trick is to do something today that makes you proud tomorrow. Or in an hour, but I'll try to give you a soundbite here... and... to take baby steps. Start by being proud of things you already do. You breathe. Whoop dee doo... Feed this habit into doing meditation... or you move... 🎉 You can make that into sports or chores, bit by bit... you go to the toilet... hurray! Expand that into grooming and a great fashion sense. And motivation is only a hurdle you take with an initial hop... and once you get into baby-stepping, it becomes a habit. And that's why motivated people think it's easy and can't explain how to do it. I had to have a stroke to figure this one out, so I hope it actually helps someone.
I'm one nicest people .. why I've been taken advantage nearly or entire life .. SMH miss KO was never the bad guy maybe someday we can talk about it if your finally up for that someday ... you met a loaner .. I.fell in love with u , one day u destroy it .. then eventually u call me we become friends for years loved your family smh what ever happend too the girl I met miss her 💔. Maybe one day van talk about it .
Id like to know why i cant say what i want without it getting deleted. Hello. I live in America and its a slap in the face to the troops. If i cant say my peace. So stop please, im asking nicely!!!. Peace ✌️
Nice idea you have, really. But tf. How about finding other people (as well...no, better!) whom the community wanna look at having a s*it, eh. lol. Tiktok Probably to everyone's benefit, something to learn... something new, not just knew. My mind is not yet lost in a surgery, like as with so much people obviously being completely unable to act any different to anybody else, and as anyone else wants, heh... You never invited me. That's fine. I never invited you, so what? Not at all ever responsible for your entertainment. That's severe coercion.
Big changes need isolation, even less friends, also less family interaction sadly. It's hard for others when someone goes through big amounts of personal growth it brings others discomfort and even a feeling of infiriority or jealousy so they will hold you to who you were and not to who you want to be which can keep you down to who you were in the way that how we are treated is who we become. It's very hard to do and can take years but your no good to them sometimes if it's not done but somehow you can loose them in the process 🤷 make no mistake though big changes need isolation essentially.
What is life, but trying to make a better version of yourself?
Enjoying the garden you are tending..
Ou again a competition. The biggest ego trap 😂
Exactly.
I want to be who I used to be. But my experiences have changed me and there is no going back.
Sober me? 2.5 yrs. Still rewiring the noodle. Safe travels on your up coming tour. 🦃
Well done! As you broke this habbit, you can break any habits that constrict you. Your addiction created a limitless superhero!
You're a good man, Rodney Norman. 👍♥🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘
As each day passes, I try to become more and more like the me that I want to be.
Having a Super Freaking Awesome Day Here!
I sent this video to my friend Raymond. He had better comment because he needs to see this video.
I heard that God once asked a human, "Why when I went to so much trouble to make you unique among all humans who ever lived or whoever will live, did you spend so much time trying to be someone else."
“Change the experiences that you’re having.” Bingo 🎯 It IS that simple.
If we had free will, this would be true. We have influence, not control.. we have agency, not free will. But we can arm ourselves with good habits and the best habit of them all is to be free from circumstances, learn to generate happiness no matter what. It's just a switch in your brain.

I woke up this morning and said to myself, Self, we're doing something different today. So we did.
Yes I appreciate it 😌 🙏 🙌

You have a great day too sir
You've got good words Rodney. You always inspire me and make my day. Much love. Thank you. ❤

Ohh YOU..😊
Makes perfect sense!
I like this version of me...still growing and getting better, but I look forward to seeing what's in store for me!
Thank you Rodney

I swear you are a real life Gandalf of deep logic, true wizard rofl.
Awesome❤

I'm going to be me, but also Batman. And maybe sometimes the Joker. A bit.

🤷♀️ 🎶🎶 I Gotta be me... I gotta be me..Noone else to be but .me 🎶🎶
The me that I am right now wants you to have a super freaking awesome day too! Truth is, I'm kinda messed-up and I like that version of me.
...you, 😂❤ how you seamlessly graft into your character role...almost gives Marilyn Monroe a run for her money...making people laugh is a great way to get your words or thoughts into them...and your words and thoughts are redeeming and bring clarity, guess I am officially impressed.
I sure love you!
You are the best you can be.
Just be you !
