glass half empty or half full which one
are you which one are you it doesn't
really matter it's kind of a trick
question I think either way that I mean
there's pros and cons either way but
regardless of whether you're half full
or a half empty kind of
person there's one big thing preventing
you from accomplishing what you want to
accomplish and also a million tiny small
things at the same time preventing you
from getting what you want and that's
what what I wanted to talk about today
and it really ties in well with the
concept of uh Nuance that I've been um
reviewing reviewing this week so as part
of the words and wisdom series Nuance is
uh from the Latin nubis which means to
um like in the clouds or the French Noir
which it means to shade
and in
this reference of the word nuance it is
like a self-analysis of ourselves
if you introspect enough you'll be able
to see that there are many small things
that you do or that you could be doing
differently and very recently especially
in the this past month I've been really
honing in on this in my own life and
that is
just removing all the friction from your
life so if you can analyze your actions
and see exactly what it it at at what
point you get turned off onto an a
certain activity so for example these
videos I was having trouble being
consistent with creating these videos um
there was the daunting task of like
setting up the camera equipment there
was like the lighting here I have a
light up here now my setup is a little
bit more simple but it's been this setup
for pretty much the last couple years
and only in the last couple of weeks
have I been able to relas unlock a lot
of productivity which is actually
creating videos um actually talking to
the camera talking to
you before that I was just thinking
about all the different ideas I could be
working on um I guess the actual Act of
like the video Concepts themselves were
difficult so the details that I had to
Iron Out were um my setup my environment
I needed to create an environment where
everything was geared towards me taking
action so in this tiny office that I
have I have the lighting set up so that
I can just automatically get it up there
within like 10 seconds I have all my
light lights ready um I I have a a
camera that just sits in a bag and I
pull it out and put onto a tripod sits
right there I can I can look at the
little screen this is all designed to
make it so that it's as easy as humanly
possible for me to accomplish what I
need to
accomplish and this is the power of you
of introspection and seeing where the FR
and seeing where the friction is and
eliminating the friction in this past
month I've I mean you might not be able
to see it in uh I guess the The View
count or the subscriber count but that
doesn't really matter to me what matters
to me is getting getting these reps in
and practicing my articulation of the
ideas that I have in my mind so today's
concept of um that ties into Nuance
being half empty or half
full um I would say that I'm personally
half full um I'm always very optimistic
about things
and that a lot of times ends up with me
underestimating the
action required to actually achieve what
I want to achieve whereas I I think
someone with the opposite perspective of
half empty they would I mean have the
opposite experience where they are not
optimistic and they overanalyze every
step and never get there never take the
action in the first place because they
they just keep coming up with a million
different way different reasons to not
do what they really want to
do I mean ultimately it it's a it's fear
they're afraid of what's going going to
happen I mean if they do succeed even
that's there's fear in that like what
what H what happens if they have to
continue to be accountable to
themselves and I mean I might be getting
two meta here and um I I've actually I'm
not really sure where this video is
going at this point um just to reminder
I don't do any Cuts I don't do any music
um so and also trying to remove those
filler words so filler words uh I I
actually saw a video today yesterday
about how to remove filler words and I
did not see anything in the video about
actually removing filler
words and again I think this just comes
with consistent practice and not filler
words aren't useless I think they are
really good at making you sound
relatable in a way so using them
strategically is
okay but overusing them and also other
words like like for example so um
there's another one that I I commonly
use it's you know after I've said
something and that's a really bad habit
I would like to break as well and these
are all nuances in your speech that can
only be IR ironed out with consistent
practice Yeah so I had a few other
bullet points here that that I wanted to
talk about I'm I'm going to start
pulling in some bullet points so that I
can continue to speak without getting
with that with actually um having
some I guess structure to my
videos so another thing I wanted to talk
about today
was sorry I'm a little bit
sick was being
employed um well not just being employed
but how to
not how to how do I say
this how important it is to continue to
work towards your future especially
whenever you're gainfully
employed so whenever you're employed
it's like you have you're you're funding
your present right
now I mean if you're well if you get
paid well enough you might be funding
some of your future as well but I always
think that it's best to work hard
whenever you don't have to do
it whenever it comes time whenever
you're desperate and you have to do
these things then shit has already hit
the fan and your your quality the
quality of your work is not going to be
there you can't you won't be able to
work with passion so for example these
videos I'm making right now I'm not
making any money off of this I don't
make a dime um I'm just doing this this
specifically to increase my skill of
articulacy to provide you with good
inputs into your life and so that I can
have good discussion good feedback from
the community as
well if I were laid off I didn't have a
job right now I would be Shilling you
random garbage probably and I mean I do
have like affiliate links in there but
that's just like solid business uh
Acumen or
whatever I I think every everyone should
be working towards something bigger uh
for their
future ESP like like I said earlier
especially while they're gainfully
employed
and that that makes it whenever times of
Crisis do come you have cushion not only
not only cushion in the form of savings
but momentum in something else
especially in this new economy with a Ai
and everything
um there for example across I can
foresee across every single industry
there's going to be
contraction where AI is going to be able
to pretty much make a lot of jobs much
easier requiring less re human resource
to do things so for example even blueco
collar jobs people are talking about how
you should go into the trades I mean
that's not a bad idea trades do make
good money trades are not
a a bad choice but um for example I
could imagine up a diagnosis robot right
now it it doesn't have to be a robot it
could be some kind of drone just you
make a call this drone comes into your
house scans whatever your area is and
gives you the diagnosis of the of the
whatever is wrong like for example with
your
pipes they just saved a bunch of time
for from having um and a bunch of money
from having a plumber come out there
look at your pipes and then tell you the
same exact
thing can you really tell me that
there's not going to be less plumbers or
same thing with electricians um I think
it's going to be the same thing same
thing for across all the trades like I
said
before yeah so uh let me make sure I'm
on track here
uh oh Health okay so yeah I want to make
sure I get a bunch of these points in
because I'm closing up the week for the
the word uh Nuance for this week um I'm
pretty excited about the next word I'll
I'll I'm not sure what I've picked yet
but uh I'll probably do another poll to
see what you guys want to U see in the
upcoming
week so Health um this I think comes
back to the friction thing I was
extremely unhealthy just like 6 months
ago I was 25 lbs heavier
um uh basically brain fog all the
time and it it wasn't fun I had very low
self-esteem uh looking in the mirror was
just not a good
experience and I mean the way I solved
it was I figured out what my bad habits
were so pretty
much introspecting and analyzing the
nuances about your
yourself I noticed that even though I
said a lot about for example not eating
dinner uh I would say I'm going to skip
dinner and that way I'm going to cut out
some car some uh calories what ended up
happening usually was I would skip
dinner get hungry um late at night I
would be doing something uh probably
degenerate and then I would bust open a
bag of chips that's in my pantry or
something and just like feast and
instantly scarf down probably 7 800
calories no wonder I started gaining
weight and pretty much after I tricked
myself into believing that food junk
food was poison I was able to eliminate
that crap from my uh environment and I
don't even have any chips to even munch
on right now and since then I've lost
the 25 lbs that I mentioned before and
in addition to that um doing things like
having an enjoyable way to take pills so
this in in a way is a form of me getting
dopamine and by by that I mean whenever
I open this it is so satisfying to my um
I guess Spectrum
mind that I enjoy taking vitamins I get
I get to open this thing and get this
sensory experience
uh it's called an eeky guy case it's a
family run business I really really
highly recommend uh their product it's
really expensive but for what I get from
it it's totally worth it I've been
taking my
supplements every day very consistently
and I feel a huge difference in my
mental Clarity um overall like body
feeling and I yeah I highly recommend
any everyone to
just focus more on
health because not only do we want to
become articulate here but we want
to be basically become just free uh free
so the the first word that we went over
was sovereignty we want to be able to
control The Narrative of our own lives
if we can't control our health how are
we going to control our lives whenever
you're in an unhealthy State you no
longer have control your body is in
control not your mind not your hopes and
dreams
so just the final note here let's be
healthy let's become articulate and
let's fucking rock this shit see you
next time
