[@YesTheory]

Hey everyone, this is Thomas, I just want to say that the morning I walked out with TD to meet Staffan was so strange. I've been a skeptical of "energy" and how much influence manifesting something can have. But that morning, I decided to approach looking for a stranger differently. I took my time. I wanted to create the most optimal headspace for myself. I went for a run, meditated, felt grateful about the opportunities we have and everyone around us and decided that I was going to walk out the door and change someone's life. Changing someone's life might sound hyperbolic to some of you, but I knew that whatever would happen that day, it would forever alter their perception of the world. Then TD landed that morning and arrived with equally good vibes. But we weren't in a rush. We didn't stress about "finding someone" for the episode, or just filming for the sake of filming. Instead, we went for coffee to catch up before going out, we took our time prepping the gear and making sure we were both in the right headspace. We made a dozen small decisions that morning that pushed us back by 5 minutes each time, then walked out and immediately met Staffan. You might call this luck. But for me, this just showed how our perspective, intention and the energy we bring to everything we do is important beyond measure. You just can't fake it. It's real and fires inside of you. TD was for the longest time one of the most skeptical people I've ever met but through experiences like this, he now fully believes anything is possible. Believing and positive energy can truly go a long way. Much love

I can't believe I haven't already seen this upload! It's the first Staffan video... Something about Steffan has always resonated with me as personally inspiring. I've always felt a little different from most people socially. The way he handles everything so bravely has given me motivation to try harder to step out and explore the world and people around me more. I'm so happy you are part of the team now.

So this is what a life changing experience is called. It is not a tragedy. It is not combating a disease. Or losing somebody dear to you. It Saying Yes to life and the experiences that you go through.

"You can fail with what you do, but you can never fail with who you are." - Steffan Taylor

[@Share_li]

that's honestly so damn true! :)

[@kirill4531]

But who we are? Just a human being? Than how are we different? We differ with our attitude to life, our actions, our mindset, our perception of life. (I'm not talking about soul and spirit now) That means Stefan is not right. But his point is good in not blaming yourself for your failures. Failures mean that you take action and that is good. Keep doing and failure turns into experience and eventually into success.

[@corruptcentral7992]

Kirill Dude you did not get the point at all, the fact that we are different is what makes us who we ARE, we can never be someone else, even trying to be someone else defines who we ARE, on the other side we can DO anything and nothing, if we DO something the further improves or shows who we ARE then it would be a 1/1 fraction, a whole number, an equilibrium, and we would be whole and full filled. Basically he is saying it is ok to fail at what we do because we should strive to DO something that answers who we ARE. At least that I how I interpreted his words.

[@kirill4531]

@@corruptcentral7992 I guess you watched the full version of his speech, because I didn't hear that. I heard the common phrase like: "When you do bad things it doesn't mean you're a bad person." He put it this way: You're not a loser if you fail, you are still who you are. So keep trying, it's ok to fail, don't be afraid of failing.
