Waching daily Dec 30 2017

hi everyone welcome back to my channel if you're new here my name is Tatiana

I'm a fashion photographer and just a girl who loves filming YouTube videos

So, this year has come to an end and there's only a few days left before New Year

So, I thought why not filming in a video sharing with you some memorable moments of 2017

and some favorite things of this year

I think this year I've finally started accepting myself as I am with all my weaknesses, insecurities

And just ... everything.

I no longer fight with myself, I am learning how to be better version of myself

It's a very long process but I think I'm on the right way

and there's a reason for every moment, every struggle that happens

and it only makes us stronger

and you know I used to be the person who looks at everything from the negative side

and now I'm finally starting to turn it into a positive

if I have some bad thoughts I'm actually being able to turn it into something good

and something that will help me in the future

to overcome any fears and to grow up as a person and as an artist

I think it's really important

I've been struggling with it for a very long time and

I'm really happy that finally I'm being able to be on this journey of becoming a peaceful and happy person

I would say so

maybe it sounds a little bit silly or messed up

but you know for me it's really

it's really amazing actually

OK

the next thing that happened this year is that I've started filming the videos with myself

just like this one

it happened because of self-confidence that I've achieved through this year

because you know right now I'm not even wearing the contact lenses

and some time ago I wouldn't... I wouldn't ever show myself like these to you guys

I didn't really thought that wearing glasses is OK

because I'm a fan of contact lenses

and right now I'm recovering from the flu

so I can't wear contact lenses because my eyes will get itchy

So, of course I prefer to take care of my health first

so I've decided to film this video wearing the glasses

and I really wanted to film this video

because I wanted some kind of an honest talk with you guys before the end of the year

and let me know if you'd like to see more videos like this

where I'm just talking with you and sharing with you some personal information

or tips about photography... Just anything. Please let me know I'm always happy to hear feedback from you

next thing that is really important for me is

that I've finally started meditating every day

I wanted to do it for quite a long time

and I've tried it but something has always came up

and messed everything up

but I finally managed to fit it into my daily routine

so every morning I wake up, have a glass of lemon water

and I do my meditation

it's really really nice

it's relaxing, it helps with getting rid of the anxiety

and if you want to find out more about your soul and your....

I don't know... being in peace with yourself

it's a it's a very nice way to achieve it

And I think you should try it if you haven't yet :)

In the beginning of 2017 I visited Japan

I haven't been there since I've studied there a long time ago

And of course it was amazing and unforgettable

I've realized how deeply I'm connected to that place

how inspiring it is for me

I felt so amazing there

and you know this feeling

when your heart is beating faster and there is no reason for that

but you're still feeling so happy... oh, I can't even describe it :)

and I've also met some of my friends whom I haven't seen for a long time and

I was really really happy

at the same time during this trip

I've realized that there are some negative and positive sides of a Japanese society

there are some benefits of living there as well as some bad things

and I was able to look at this country as an adult

and before that I was only a student

who was so amazed by everything

you know don't get me wrong I adore this country

I adore everything but now I can finally see it as a grown up person

This trip was really important for me not only because of this nostalgic feelings

But also thanks to it I've started working at some of new projects

which are related to Japan

I will be able to tell you more about it really soon

and yeah... I've realized that I don't need to hide my photography style anymore

Because I'm deeply related to Asia and its culture

and I'm no longer going to be afraid of experiments

and I don't care that someone might think it's strange

as long as my photos reflect who I really am I'm just going to keep working

and I think the life will put me in the right place where I belong

think I've got two philosophic

I've got published in several magazines

I got few covers and I met amazing people I think everything just goes as

I think everything just goes as it should

I'm really thankful for this opportunity

OK the next topic is travel

To tell the truth I haven't travelled a lot this year

I've only been to Japan, Israel, Paris ( I mean France, sorry guys lol) and Turkey

but it was interesting especially visiting Istanbul it was a nice experience ... :)

it was extremely cold in February when I was there. But overall it was nice

I hope I'll be able to travel much more next year

I've realized that I'm a huge foodie

I love creating new recipes

if you haven't seen guys I filmed a video

three recipe ideas for holidays

it's a healthy sweet treats

I'll put the link somewhere... I don't know here, there...

I think I will be posting more food related videos

maybe some recipes, what I eat in a day... and, yeah, I hope it will be interesting for you guys

and my favorite food or ingredient of the year is matcha powder

I bought some matcha in Japan

I do enjoy matcha latte

I cook pancakes with matcha

I love chocolate with matcha flavor, choco pie with matcha....

just everything matcha related

and maybe I'll film a video about it soon

If haven't tried matcha I really recommend it to you

because it has many benefits for your health

it's just like a superfood and you can add it to your smoothies... anywhere

Well, just try it

I was trying to remember what movies watched this year

And I just couldn't remember anything actually

because I didn't have a lot of time for watching movies like sitting in front of the TV

or cinema and thinking, and being 100% right there to understand the story

the one movie I've remembered is "Handmaiden"

this movie is really beautiful but at the same time it's a little bit violent

and there are some pretty much erotic moments right there

It's very specific but i really love it

it's related to some Japanese and Korean culture

Hmm, that's interesting... Although I would prefer is the Japanese characters were played by Japanese actors not Koreans

but still this movie is amazing and it's like an art piece in my opinion

and talking about TV shows I'm not too picky I guess

I've been a fan of "Scandal" ...

I don't remember what season it is right now ... It's still interesting

I can't wait the next episode of it

and what else ?

oh I've watched "The Queen of the South", it was not as bad as I expected

it wasreally nice

And please don't think I spent hours in front of the TV

I just have two PC monitors and when I edit my photos or do some work like email replying etc

I just turn on the TV show on the other monitor so I do both

I know multitasking isn't a best thing but it works for me. So... yeah.

my favorite makeup product of the year

is this prep and prime by MAC

and it has been my favorite for about three years since I've discovered it

and I really recommend it to everyone

and I'm also happy with this Kill Cover concealer by CLIO

I've showed it to guys in one of my videos

and maybe I'll do a review or get ready with me video, when I'm using it

so it's really nice, I really liked it

I think these two aren't my favorite products of the year

OK guys, I thinkthat's it. Thank you so much for watching

please let me know in the comments below about your favorite moments, events or things of the year

I will be happy to hear it

also let me know what you think in the comments below

BEACH ANTS?! 🏝✈ - Duration: 18:00.

Ever wonder if there are ants at the beach?

Do ants take tropical beach vacation getaways like humans do?

The answer will surprise you.

This week, I had the opportunity to spend my Christmas on some secluded but tiny tropical

islands, and my main goal was to find out what the ants on secluded beach islands were

like, how they lived, or heck, find out if there even were ants on secluded beach islands

at all!

AC Family, let's make a quick escape from the on-going tales of our antiverse in my

ant room in Manila, Philippines and travel thousands of miles westward to a gorgeous

tropical country called Maldives, tucked far away out into the Indian Ocean, and find out

what beach ant colonies are like, in this episode of the AntsCanada ant channel.

Please SUBSCRIBE to my channel, and hit the bell icon.

Welcome to the AC Family.

Tired of nature channels not showing nature shows.

Just watch this channel.

Enjoy!

The Republic of Maldives is a South Asian country composed of over 1,000 coral islands

out in the Indian Ocean, situated in the Arabian Sea near the country of Sri Lanka.

Its crystal clear waters, amazing wild life, and luxurious beach resorts have made it a

growing tourist spot for beach enthusiasts around the world.

I knew nothing about the place before coming here, other than the fact that a few celebrities

I follow online have vacationed here and posted some pretty neat photos of the place.

But when I arrived I was shocked to see not only how beautiful it was, but also how rich

the Maldivian wildlife was, both in the sea and on land.

Allegedly friendly reef sharks and some really interesting marine fish swam all around us

just outside our rooms, we interacted with wild stingrays, which I had no idea was a

safe thing to do, massive fruit bats flew from tree to tree, huge solitary bees buzzed

around, shore birds and herons hung out at our pools, and super cute agamid lizards scurried

about waiting for insects to pick off, and oh, the plant life - man, that tropical, beach

plant life though!

But with such a lush and thriving ecosystem on these secluded islands, I was sure there

had to be ants here somewhere!

So I asked the locals about where I might be able to find ants and what type of ants

existed in Maldives.

Of course, if you're not an ant nerd like me, most ants might look the same, so the

general consensus was that there were pretty much only three types of ants in Maldives.

They were described as follows: The first type were described as being big and black,

and that to me screamed Camponotus, i.e. carpenter ants.

Ooohh Maldivian carpenter ants!

Super exciting.

Let's hope we see some today!

The second were described as some small red ones.

That sounded like a fire ant species, perhaps like our Fire Nation?

We'll find out!

And finally some harmless black ones that come in swarms, and of course, that to me

sounded like black crazy ants!

To think, our Dark Knights have a Maldivian counterpart?

So cool!

So according to local sources, there were these three ants and that was it.

Now although Maldives was pretty geographically secluded and each island was super small,

I still found it hard to accept that there were only three species of ants on these Maldivian

islands, so it was time to find out!

I booked some tours to go Maldives island hopping and broke away from my tour group

to shoot some ants!

By the way, AC Family, if you're excited about today's episode, please hit that 'LIKE' button

and let me know.

Alright so wandering off the tourist path a little bit, I instantly came across this

open sandy area with sparse vegetation, and it was full of little pits.

Ant holes!

Check it out AC Family, it looks like we've found our quote-unquote small, red ants!

But looking closer at them, you could tell right away that these red ants were NOT fire

ants.

These ants looked different from our Fire Nation, but they were just as energetic!

I loved watching them run about constructing their holes and small ant hills.

Have a look!

Now one thing you might notice about the ant hills of these ants is that they aren't really

huge nor too conspicuous.

I feel when you live on a beach where you don't have a whole lot of plant coverage,

you don't want to make your fortress too obvious and announce to predators that "Hey, this

is where we live."

Now I couldn't even pin a genus on these girls to identify them, until I spotted from the

corner of my eye this!

A Supermajor!

The supermajors were super shy and weren't plentiful.

Now these ants weren't our Titans, Asian Marauder ants, but were probably a smaller and similar

species belonging to the genus Pheidole.

Red ant mystery solved!

Let's move on!

My friend who was ant-hunting with me, called me over saying "Hey, I found a huge black

ant!"

Yes, perhaps it was our native Camponotus!

When I finally saw it, I was shocked and filmed it with my eyes and mouth wide open the whole

time.

AC Family, check it out and see if you can tell why!

Do you see something funny about this big black ant?

Well, AC Family, this actually is not an ant.

Believe it or not, this here is a spider!

A jumping spider, to be exact, probably belonging to the genus Myrmarachne.

This spider was an ant mimic!

Don't believe me?

That right there is its web den!

Not only is its body shaped like that of an ant, but it also moves its front legs in the

same way an ant moves its antennae!

Isn't that just amazing, AC Family?

Now you might be asking, why would a spider want to mimic an ant?

What evolutionary purpose?

Well, there could be several reasons.

First, many animals actually dislike or fear ants, having learned to stay away from them

due to their bites or their foul taste.

A predator may choose to eat this jumping spider before this apparent ant.

Second, this spider may actually look like her favourite prey, and so looking like an

ant may help her get close enough to pounce.

Whatever it is, these ant-mimicking spiders of which there are hundreds of described species

are super cool!

Don't you think?

Ok, so this wasn't our big, black carpenter ant!

Let's move on!

Plus, we still needed to find some wild Dark Knights, Maldives chapter!

Speaking of which, AC Family want to hear something cool?

Alright, so it made total sense that the Dark Knights, commonly known as black crazy ants

would be found here in Maldives.

If you were ever wondering if ants take tropical beach vacation getaways the answer is yes,

they do, only they end up staying at these tropical destinations, and black crazy ants

happen to be the ultimate world vacationers.

You see at one point these Maldivian islands had their native set of ants species like

the Pheidole ants, but as soon as the islands began to develop and later turn into a tourist

destination, it opened its borders to immigrant ants.

With human tourists, come the need for the importation of supplies, including food items,

building materials, decorative plants and trees, and pretty much everything and anything

that people can't readily acquire on these tiny islands.

During a chat with the general manager of the resort I was staying at, I was surprised

to know that twice a week, huge barges of supplies are shipped into the island to stock

the resort with everything they need.

And of course, with these supplies, can come tiny ant vacationers traveling for free.

All it takes is one pregnant queen ant, or even whole colonies inhabiting any of the

goods coming in, for a colony of immigrant ants to establish themselves on a small island.

They can even be hiding in something as simple as a garbage can on a boat.

And low and behold, near a school in one of the local communities, I saw some naturalized

Maldivian citizens of Dark Knights.

As was described to me by the locals they moved in huge swarms with such vigor and power!

Having whole armies of immigrant ants like these black crazy ants move in to a new place

can be problematic for the local ecosystem especially for a small island, because they

can displace, kill, or out-compete native ants, which already have stable relationships

with the plants and animals around them.

Imagine if these black crazy ants wipe out a native species of ant that a certain species

of plant depends on to disperse its seeds or pollinate to bear fruit?

Or what if these black crazy ants have a taste for creatures that native ants typically leave

alone?

Black Crazy Ants, though we love our Dark Knights, actually pose dangers to ecosystems

especially on small islands around the world, because of the fact that they are such avid

world travelers.

And so are these ants, ghost ants!

Tapinoma melanocephalum.

These tiny bundles of energy are called ghost ants because of their semi-transparent gasters

which make them look like floating heads.

Ghost ants are also notorious world travelers having established themselves in subtropical

and tropical regions around the world.

I spotted them forming a massive trail running up and down this tree and towards the beach!

And here is exactly what I was talking about!

AC Family, look!

It looks like these ghost ants have stolen the bounty of some larger Maldivian native

ant, and have formic acid sprayed it to immobilization.

I watched as it kicked and struggled in pain, as the ghost ants feasted on what was supposed

to be a meal for the native ant's colony.

Scenes like this are heart-breaking, but it's part of the natural world where the survival

of the fittest rule reigns supreme.

So what are people doing now to try to stop ant tourism?

Surely, for islands like Maldives, human tourism is an important industry, bringing the nation

a steady amount of income, but how do we protect the native ecosystems from falling apart due

to invasive, tourist ants to these small islands like those of Maldives.

So, to deal with that, prior to landing in Maldives, I was surprised to see that the

Maldivian government required all planes coming in to be sprayed with a pesticide.

If you find it weird that they would do that, check out this huge spider that flew with

me sandwiched between the two panes of glass making up my plane window.

The flight staff told me, they had watched that spider grow, which means, beyond the

mystery of how it got in there in the first place, it was actually feeding on a regular

supply of insects!

Fact is, insects can be anywhere and travel thousands of miles with people more often

than one would think.

Also, thankfully, most countries are strict with what fauna enter and leave its borders.

Our GAN Project, which has supplied thousands of ant keepers with ants for their ant farms

also aims at reducing the black market trade of ant colonies as pets to private owners,

to help stop the migration of foreign ants to new places, by connecting local ant keepers.

But no other sight spoke the message of the need for preservation of native ants and ecosystems

as clearly and beautifully as this next scene you are about to see, AC Family.

At the base of one of the trees, near the ocean, I spotted something totally magical!

It was a huge, black ant!

We found our native Camponotus ant.

Wow!

Look at how gorgeous it was!

But then I noticed something even cooler!

It was attending to some small tiny pink creatures, and that's when I realized, AC Family, that

OMG, this carpenter ant was milking a mealy bug.

What we are witnessing here was a carpenter ant milking an ant cow!

You see the mealy bugs feed from the juices within this tree root and if you look carefully,

you will see the ant gently stroking the mealy bug with its antennae.

This stroking eventually causes the mealy big to release a sweet secretion called honeydew,

a bi-product, which the ant drinks up cum gusto!

I have never been able to film this beautiful act of symbiosis this close.

You can almost see the small appendage of the mealy bug running through the ants' mouth

parts.

Is that like an ant cow teat?

I watched for a long time as the carpenter ant milked the mealy bug then left to visit

other mealy bug sites that it knew, including this one which was a mealy bug with baby mealy

bug calves around her!

Isn't this all just unbelievable.

An ant farmer with her ant cows, AC Family.

In order to preserve these beautiful and important moments of nature, as has been the common

message these days, we humans do need to be mindful of our activities as key players in

the natural world.

The final ants I saw as I left Maldives a few days ago, were some native black ants

of which I didn't know the species, relocating a dead Maldivian native carpenter ant to an

area not blocking one of their foraging trails.

They were cleaning up!

This made me think, hey if tiny ants can work together at cleaning up a mess that isn't

theirs, why do we people have such problems working together to clean up our own?

It's ant love forever.

Yes!

AC Family, thanks for watching another week of ant discovery!

Hope you guys are enjoying your holidays!

What types of ants have you guys seen while on vacation?

Let me know in the comments!

AC Inner Colony, I have left a hidden cookie for you here, if you would just like to watch

a super cool video of ants and other creatures I shot in the wilderness and oceans of Maldives!

And before we proceed to the AC Question of the Week, in case you haven't heard yet, our

annual Christmas Sale at AntsCanada.com is still in full effect but there are only two

days left!

This year we have a great sale on our brand new Hybrid Nest 2.0 and our All You Need Formica

Alright, and now it's time for the AC Question of the week!

Last week we asked:

Which of our ant colonies was the first to receive their

Christmas gift?

Now this was a trick question because a lot of you answered the Fire Nation which indeed

was the first recipient of their Christmas gift in the video, but congratulations to

MobileChampion 21 who correctly answered:

The Golden Empire

It was mentioned in the video that the Gold Play Button was considered the Golden Empire's

early Christmas gift, hence they technically were the first.

Congratulations MobileChampion 21, you just won a free ebook handbook from our shop!

In this week's AC Question of the Week, we ask:

Name any of the two species of ants in this video that are not

native to Maldives Islands.

Leave your answer in the comments section and you could also win a free ebook handbook

3 Reasons Why I Publicly Embarrass Myself on the Internet - Duration: 3:13.

Okay so before I start creating content for this channel, I like to address a

question I've been getting a lot from family friends and just people I know.

The question is why am I doing this? In other words, what I think they're asking

is why am I creating embarrassing videos of myself and posting them on the

internet for everyone to see? Well let me begin by saying that that's a fantastic

question because even I have to constantly remind myself why I am doing this,

especially when I get roasted by my friends for my videos. Trust me when I make a

video, post it, and watch it, it makes me cringe and the fact that I've put it on the

internet for everyone I see is pretty embarrassing, but here's why I don't care.

Number one: I've learned that life's too short to care about what others think.

Yeah I know that's a little cliche, but I used to be so worried about other's

opinions of me to the point that I really limited myself. The truth is, who

gives a shit about what others think. Don't let a fear being judged just

because you're different hold you back from the things you want to do.

Number Two: Helping others is what I love to do and I feel that this is a way for me to

reach a large audience which will allow me to help the most amount of people I can.

Whether it's educating someone, introducing a new perspective, or just

putting a smile on their face, I realized that making videos can help me do

exactly that. The way I look at it is how back in school, the teachers used

to tell us to ask questions because someone else may have that same exact

question. Well I've answered a lot of financial questions for friends and

family and I figured that chances are someone else has that same question, so

why not try to help as many people as I can? Number three: Because this is what I love

to do. I read an article a couple months ago that said 70% of Americans hate

their jobs. After reading that article, I made a promise to myself that I

wouldn't fall into that trap. I told myself that the money and

prestige doesn't matter when you hate what you do. You know that saying that says

"if you do what you love you'll never work a day in your life"? Well it's true.

Look, so many people are unhappy in life because they're scared to be different,

they're scared to take risks, and they're scared that if they decide to do what they

love, they'll be judged and criticized. Trust me,

I've had the same fear until I realized that the only one holding myself back is

me. I've wanted to make videos for years but I was afraid of the embarrassment

and the failure. I've made so many videos that I either took down after a day or I

just never posted at all. Well here's the deal. Everything sucks until you practice.

Think about it. You think professional athletes we're as good as they are now

the first time they competed? You think that famous producers just wake up one

day and decide they want to create a movie without any experience and

producing award-winning film? No, but no one hears about the failures. We only

hear about the successes and unfortunately most people are afraid of

failure. So at this point, I've wandered off the focus of this video but I'd like to

leave you with this. You have one life so don't let a fear of judgment keep you

from doing what you love. If you let others dictate your

life, you'll be filled with regret. So I'm excited to announce that starting

January 1st, I will be posting more cringy and embarrassing videos. As a new

creator, I'm experimenting a lot, so quite a few things will change including the

posting frequency, the topics, and the styles of my videos. As I find my channel,

your feedbacks are incredibly valuable so don't be afraid to speak up.

Alright so long story short, the three reasons listed above or why I purposely

embarrass myself on the Internet. Thank you for watching and I hope that you

join me on this journey!

The 3 Forms Of Slavery! (That Keeps You From Achieving True Freedom) - Duration: 13:48.

Hey, what's up?

John Sonmez here from simpleprogrammer.com.

I wanted to do a video today on one of my favorite topics, which is personal freedom

or achieving freedom.

This time I wanted to talk about what prevents you from having freedom, what I would call

the different forms of slavery that exist in your life.

If you're familiar with my videos, you know that freedom is probably my highest priority

in life.

In fact, it is my highest value in life, is personal freedom and obtaining that freedom.

This is something that is an ongoing struggle for most of us to be as free as possible.

The way that I define freedom, by the way, is I define freedom by essentially saying

that freedom is the capacity for you to exercise your own will over your life.

Now, there's external things that you can't control obviously, but everything internally

that you can control, the maximum ability for you to exercise your will, what you actually

want to do and enact within your life.

How you want to act, how you want to behave, how you want to express that will within life

is really what freedom is.

If you have a small ability to express that will, to do what you want to do, you could

essentially say freedom is the ability for you within your capability to do what you

want to do.

If you have a small capability to do that, you don't have much freedom.

You're controlled by external circumstances.

You're controlled by other people.

You're controlled by, even to some degree, bound by your own will.

That's what we're actually going to get into today, which is what are the things that—the

slavery that happened in your life like what are the things that bring you into slavery.

There's three forms of slavery that I'm going to talk about today.

Before I get into that though, I do want to point you to some of my other videos on freedom.

I've got a freedom playlist if you're interested in this.

Like I said, I'm always in the pursuit of increasing—Man.

I got a little bit—getting over a little bit of cold.

I'm always in pursuit of increasing my own personal freedom and teaching you how to do

it, and this is something that I think that is something that can occupy you for your

entire life as you try to reach higher levels and higher levels of freedom, but it's worth

it.

it's worth the journey.

It's worth the rewards that come in actually being able to execute in your life what you

want to and accomplish your will.

Here's the three forms of slavery that I'll define and we'll go over each one of them.

The first one is others.

They prevent you from executing on your will.

The second one is yourself and then the third one is your will itself.

How do others stop you from obtaining your freedom?

This one is pretty obvious.

This is the most obvious way.

This is really what most people think of, is that other people restrict them from their

freedom and put them into some form of slavery.

The first form of slavery is others.

This is obligation.

This is debt to others.

This is other's expectations on you and you subjecting yourself willingly to them.

You put yourself into slavery to others when you care what other people think, when you

allow people to put obligations on you.

Watch my video on obligations and not having obligations on other people or not letting

them put obligations on you.

This is one of the critical steps that you have to accomplish in life if you want to

achieve true freedom.

All of these things, right?

Anytime that you are modifying your behavior or modifying your will, the way that you enact

within your life in order to please others to prevent others from being sad, because

you feel obligated to others, or even at a coercion by others because you fear something

that's going to happen to you.

That actually crosses over probably into the second and third forms of slavery.

Anytime that's happening, you're basically becoming a slave.

You're giving up your freedom to other people.

This is something that's very, very common in life.

Most people feel some sense of obligation or duty to other people.

They put expectations on their people.

They let people have expectations on them and they modify their behavior.

This is—again, I did a video talking about the levels of freedom and this is sort of

that first level of freedom where you—when you've achieved this level, you stop caring

what other people think.

You start acting in the way that you don't actually care what other people think as much

as possible.

When you do care what other people think when—in fact, most people live their lives completely—not

just partially caring what other people think but completely living their life and doing

everything in their life based on what other people think.

I know I get a lot of emails from young guys, young girls, that their parent's decision

that they should go to college or that they should study some certain thing, or they should

go to work or do these particular things completely ruins their life, that they completely subject

their entire life, give away all their autonomy, give away all their freedom, and become basically

slaves to fulfill what their parents want for them.

Some people that feel just so obligated to their parents that they have to go and do

these things and they have to make their parents happy.

That first form of slavery that most people encounter, that most people never get past

is the slavery to others.

They feel obligated.

They feel like they have to please others.

It's a very needy type of behavior and you're defining yourself and your limits and what

you do in life based on others, what other people think, how you make them feel, all

those things.

When you have that into consideration in your will—when you take that into consideration

and that defines what you do in life, you are a slave to other people.

Like I said, most people have this to varying degrees.

I'd say most people actually live their entire lives with this form of slavery.

The second one is the slavery to yourself.

What does this mean?

What does it mean slavery to yourself?

I'm going to define these separate between the slavery to yourself and your will.

The slavery to yourself is just not understanding.

It's not understanding what is possible and what you're capable of.

It's having limiting beliefs.

Many of us—it's not necessarily that we care what other people think.

It's we care what we think.

We care what we think about ourselves and we don't freely express ourselves because

we have these limitations.

We believe the things about ourselves that are not true.

We believe we're not capable.

We believe that we are not qualified.

We believe that we're not good enough.

We have all of these limiting beliefs that control our mindset and make it so that we

totally limit our actions.

We can't do what we want to do not because we lack the discipline which we're going to

talk about next but because we lack the vision.

We don't know what we're capable of.

We believe things about ourselves that are wrong, and so we're essentially a slave to

ourselves.

We're a slave to our own mindset and our own beliefs.

We're not fully executing on our will.

We don't think we can—we stop writing because we don't believe we're a good enough

writer, that we can make it.

We stop drawing because we don't believe that we can become an artist.

We stop creating because we don't believe that we have something valuable to say that

it will be worth it, that the people would listen to us.

We devalue our value in the world and we assume that we can't get the things that we want

out of life.

This really could be defined as a victim mentality.

I've done plenty of videos on victim mentality.

You can check out the playlist.

If you're not enslaved with others, probably, you're enslaved or probably both, but, probably,

you're enslaved to yourself, your own limiting beliefs, your own things that prevent you

from not just achieving what you want in life but believing that is possible at all.

I'll tell you that from my own perspective.

This is one of those things I struggled with for a long time.

I didn't believe what—what I'm doing is possible.

There are so many mind-blowing type of experiences I've had where I have lifted those limiting

beliefs.

I've realized that what I thought was impossible is par for the course for some people and

it can be par for the course for me.

I've learned how to get rid of a lot of those limiting beliefs and believe that I'm really

capable more so than I thought, and that so many things that I thought were impossible

were actually possible.

Okay?

We got number one, slavery to others.

Number two, slavery to yourself, which I would say is your limiting beliefs.

Number three, this is your will.

This is your actual will.

Remember I said that freedom I defined as your ability to execute in your will.

What also prevents you from doing it is just not having the will power, not having the

discipline to do it.

You can know what you want to do and you can have other people not preventing you from

doing, that you don't give a fuck what they say or what they think.

You can get rid of limiting beliefs believing that you can do your thing, but you can still

lack the discipline and motivation to actually execute on it.

A lot of people are there as well.

Again, you're going to have different areas of your life that are going to be subject

to different forms of the slavery and that are going to limit your freedom in different

ways.

In a lot of people's lives, they're going to see all three of these.

I can see all three of these in different areas of my life.

Certain areas of my life are more locked up and I'm subject to the slavery in multiple

areas, but this one is critical.

This one is key.

This one is basically just tough enough buttercup.

You're going to have to harden the fuck up in order to conquer your own will.

Your own will can enslave you, can put you in slavery.

This form of slavery, again, is one that handicaps a lot of people because they just are too

fucking weak.

I did this video up—I'm going to link a few videos here.

This is going to be long, but I think this is important.

I'm a fucking bulldog or how to become a fucking bulldog.

If you're falling into this category of being a slave to your own will, you can't master

yourself, you can't discipline, then you need to watch that video.

You need to learn how to be a fucking bulldog.

You need to know how to up your discipline up to the point where you can actually execute

on your will, because if other people aren't preventing you from executing on your will

and you don't have a lack the limiting beliefs that are prevent—you believe it's possible,

but you're still not fucking doing it, it means you're weak.

It means you're pathetic.

It means that you need to grow some balls and it means you need to stack up and you

need to stop being a pussy, and you need to start actually embracing the fucking pain,

embracing the suck and you need to actually ramp it up and stop worrying about if it's

too hard, if it hurts too much.

You need to really, really push yourself to that limit if you want to have that freedom.

A lot of that freedom, like I said, comes from the ability to do that.

What you'll find also ironically is that if you focus on this one, if you focus on getting

freedom this way, casting up the slavery of your own will, that you'll find that you're

going to make a lot of progress in the other two areas because the more you push yourself,

the deeper you dig and find what you're made of, the more that you're going to find that

you have exercise—that you can exercise control over your own life and destiny and

will, and that you're less likely to let other people, especially other weaker people control

your potential when you realize what it is and you're less likely to believe that you

have a limited potential once you see what you're capable of.

You've got to have that discipline element.

You've got to be able to push yourself.

You've got to be able to conquer the weaker will with the stronger will.

The stronger will has to be the will that says, "This is what I want to execute in my

life.

This is what I want to do.

This is how I want to act.

This is how I want to behave."

That's basically it.

Those are the three forms of slavery that exist that prevents you from executing on

your will, that prevents you from having freedom and that we subject ourselves willingly to.

These forms of slavery and we have to conquer them if we want to have the absolute freedom.

I'll say again, just to give you kind of an idea of how this works, most people in their

lives, they live their lives, first of all, reacting to how other people think or how

other people perceive them.

They are constantly thinking about how they will be perceived and how other people feel

about their situations and what they do.

They're constantly acting in that way.

The second thing is that they're also not believing what they're capable of.

Then when they do something, they don't give it enough.

They don't give it their all.

They allow their own weakness to control and limit what their potential is.

If you want to get past those things, you got to conquer all three of those things in

order to have more and more freedom.

This is a struggle that I'm daily fighting.

It's something that I'm fighting and even as I'm recording this video.

I have to constantly think about, "Okay, what am I trying to do here?

What am I trying to communicate?

Do I care what people think about what I'm saying or do I care about doing what is in

my will, what I want to accomplish with this video?"

It's easy to pander to the masses.

It's easy to self-deceive myself, to have doubts to say, "Oh, well, you know, you're

not speaking very eloquently, John," but I got to continue.

I got to continue on and I got to say, "Okay.

I'm going to fucking do this.

I'm going to execute on this.

I'm going to record this video.

I don't care if people like it.

I don't care if I like it.

I'm going to do it and I'm going to execute it."

A lot of times, that's just the case with all the videos that I record on this channel.

All right.

That's all I got for you today.
