You Need to Build a Prototype of your Dream Life

This was a great video. I have had that book about cybernetics on my dresser for almost a year now 🙃

Pretty good what you said about time and how people think that there's just certain amount of time that you can dedicate to one thing. Yes, we have our days in this hearth numbered but there's no reason as to why you should just stop something you like just because of other circumstances or people's opinions.

I agree! Building in tandem relieves some pressure from the dream and creates space to find/create pockets of pleasure in the process - which, as you said, is most of the experience anyways ✨

Facts and "pockets of pleasure" is a fye alliteration too 🔥

"There is no time limit on a legacy" There is so much weight in that line, Jesus, I had to take a step back. You spoke such wisdom throughout this video. I am in awe. I truly needed to find this at this moment. Just earlier today I was having a conversation with a friend about burnout and what I realized as the conversation went on was that the standards I held myself to, for so many torturous years, were never in line with my happiness. There were goals I put into place for myself because I felt I had to. That my life was truly measured by what I could accomplish. Except so little time is spent in achievement, in that state of recognition. So much of our days need to be dedicated to routine and disciplined practice, and I never knew that was the case. I thought that any moment of mundanity, any moment I was not brilliant, was a moment of failure. You can imagine what that does to the psyche. Currently I am focused on so much of what you detailed in this video I am genuinely so shocked that the KZbin algorithm was so exact. Discipline and routine are the fundamentals of longevity and there is strength in that strive that surpasses the efforts needed for short term success. It takes another level of focus and dedication. In all honesty, I do not believe I have ever been dedicated to anything in my life. Almost everything I have dedicated myself to has been out of fear, either fear of disappointing others or of general failure. I do not believe that true dedication is possible if it defined by fear and done for the approval of others. It must come from a genuine motivation to see a journey through, genuine love for the practice it will take to accomplish what you strive for. There is so much merit in that which I am only beginning to see now. For so long I thought I needed to be a published author before the age of 20, and here I am, 20 years old with an infant of a draft. But I proud of it. "There is no time limit on a legacy" and I would add, there is no time limit to grow into yourself. I apologize for this incredibly long winded comment but I was really touched by your commentary and insights. What an amazing video that I a grateful you have shared.

I appreciate you leaving such a thoughtful comment Slyvia. I agree that it's incredibly difficult to cultivate true dedication out of pure Fear. I feel that disciplined passion or Love is a better energy source for projects or creative work that mean something deeply to you. Big congrats on the draft too 🥳. Bringing the world in your mind to life is an act of Creation - no matter how small it feels. Funnily enough, I'm actually posting a video on that topic tomorrow. Thanks for watching!
