Lone Wolf Wisdom: Finding Freedom & Instinct

WEBVTT
00:00:00.969 --> 00:00:05.137
What's going on, everybody, and what's going on, folks? My name is David,
00:00:05.137 --> 00:00:09.487
and I'm your legendary, legendary host of this legendary podcast,
00:00:09.487 --> 00:00:14.890
the Deconstructing Topic Podcast, where we grab a topic, we deconstruct it the D-way.
00:00:15.319 --> 00:00:19.656
But you know what? After all said and done, this beautiful podcast is all about,
00:00:20.201 --> 00:00:22.717
saving the mind, because saving the mind is saving the life.
00:00:22.717 --> 00:00:27.377
And I'm just going to be straight up off the cuff here, not word by word,
00:00:27.377 --> 00:00:31.737
But this is something where someone very endearing to me long time ago kind
00:00:31.737 --> 00:00:34.445
of told me, hey, David, you kind of remind me of the wolf here.
00:00:34.973 --> 00:00:38.237
You know what I mean? And I apologize if we do have some little noise in the
00:00:38.237 --> 00:00:42.957
background. If we do, they're doing some construction here next house to me.
00:00:42.957 --> 00:00:46.572
So, hey, listen, we make it nothing stop us.
00:00:46.984 --> 00:00:50.734
Nothing should stop us because we right here just boom.
00:00:51.158 --> 00:00:56.377
And let me just once again, I give you something that someone told me and is
00:00:56.377 --> 00:01:00.513
going to lead to what this podcast and this episode is going to be. Let's get it.
00:01:00.687 --> 00:01:04.605
So a tiger is powerful. A lion is fear.
00:01:05.222 --> 00:01:11.514
But you won't find a wolf in a circus. Strength isn't just about power, it's about freedom.
00:01:11.706 --> 00:01:15.583
And let's get in. That's how we start this legendary podcast.
00:01:15.845 --> 00:01:21.200
I want to introduce people out there to the world. Listen, we could all come
00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:24.532
from different backgrounds, tradition, religion, so on and so forth.
00:01:24.857 --> 00:01:31.392
But one thing, one thing that we can agree, how important animals I've been into humanity, I'm,
00:01:31.978 --> 00:01:36.220
into the progress, regardless of what it is, but sometimes there are times that
00:01:36.220 --> 00:01:42.833
we do need guidance, and listen, sometimes we kind of go and tune into certain animals,
00:01:43.356 --> 00:01:46.606
and that was the wolf, and so there we are talking about the wolf,
00:01:46.972 --> 00:01:50.953
and the reason why being that I was called the wolfman a long time ago,
00:01:51.232 --> 00:01:56.380
I think I got a couple of people who have me in their phone as the wolfman, oh.
00:01:57.280 --> 00:01:59.295
Let's go, but we make it happen.
00:01:59.568 --> 00:02:03.724
Well, I say how old, but it's supposed to be, ooh, maybe that's my best wolf I could do.
00:02:04.009 --> 00:02:07.910
Hey, listen, you know, I want my voice. I want to reserve my voice so I could
00:02:07.910 --> 00:02:11.320
be able to do that podcast. Hit the like button if you're already kind of like
00:02:11.320 --> 00:02:12.414
feeling like, wait a minute.
00:02:12.716 --> 00:02:15.462
A tiger is powerful. A lion is fear.
00:02:16.311 --> 00:02:19.835
And you see, you would never see a wolf in a circus because it cannot be tame.
00:02:20.241 --> 00:02:25.290
A wolf thinks on its own. And one of the things why I was told is that I always
00:02:25.290 --> 00:02:29.330
get, I always feed the vibe and I tell people that I've done things for the
00:02:29.330 --> 00:02:33.935
most part all on my own. So now often we see the wolf as a guy.
00:02:34.185 --> 00:02:38.160
And once again, I'm introducing this to everybody in a sense that if you out
00:02:38.160 --> 00:02:41.180
there listening to this and now you're in August, in August,
00:02:41.180 --> 00:02:45.480
my understanding is that the lion is the animal spirit for those people born
00:02:45.480 --> 00:02:47.385
in August or around this time.
00:02:47.803 --> 00:02:52.010
And the wolf being November in some parts, could be a snake, whatever.
00:02:52.341 --> 00:02:57.630
But, hey, we get it because the wolf is something that I vaccinated for a long
00:02:57.630 --> 00:02:59.092
time ago for some reason.
00:03:00.203 --> 00:03:03.768
And one of the things, one of the symbols in regards to the wolf,
00:03:03.768 --> 00:03:07.008
you know, when people think of a wolf, they, you know, kind of,
00:03:07.648 --> 00:03:11.988
you know, they imagine a mysterious, wild kind of thing.
00:03:11.988 --> 00:03:15.678
But hey, the wolf, it's a little bit, though, the wolf traits a little bit more
00:03:15.678 --> 00:03:20.328
different because the wolf, it's like a guy for those who trust your instincts.
00:03:20.328 --> 00:03:24.183
And a wolf's instinct is crazy because, keep in mind, it's this.
00:03:25.032 --> 00:03:29.498
Have you heard of the term wolf? I mean, long wolf. And that's what separates
00:03:29.498 --> 00:03:33.293
the wolf then from a lion and a tiger. You see, a wolf could be alone.
00:03:33.838 --> 00:03:39.248
Now, obviously, a wolf, when they're part of a pack, a wolf pack, they're stronger.
00:03:39.783 --> 00:03:44.281
They work together, looking for their next meal, looking to survive.
00:03:44.798 --> 00:03:49.938
But a lone wolf, and that's where I get that perception of when this individual
00:03:49.938 --> 00:03:51.668
said, you remind me of a wolf, man.
00:03:52.048 --> 00:03:55.129
You know, you're just different, independent.
00:03:55.954 --> 00:03:59.458
And it's always that thing where you know the person was telling me you just
00:03:59.458 --> 00:04:02.514
trust your inner voice your gut instinct,
00:04:03.489 --> 00:04:08.698
and when the wolf is lone they basically have to trust their instinct they have
00:04:08.698 --> 00:04:12.698
to trust that little intuition that they have one of the things that you know
00:04:12.698 --> 00:04:15.118
with the wolf they independent and they love freedom,
00:04:15.844 --> 00:04:19.998
that's why again you have the lone wolf and you have these wolf that travel
00:04:19.998 --> 00:04:25.370
in packs and one of the the symbols that is associated with the wolf is basically that freedom.
00:04:26.623 --> 00:04:29.401
Again, a lot of people see wolves and see them in wolf packs.
00:04:29.401 --> 00:04:32.092
It's always that thing. Absolutely.
00:04:33.178 --> 00:04:36.391
The wolf, you know, it teaches the balance between standing confidently on your
00:04:36.391 --> 00:04:39.452
own and maintaining a meaningful connection with others.
00:04:40.501 --> 00:04:42.721
You know, what does that say about the wolf? The wolf is like,
00:04:42.721 --> 00:04:44.341
okay, are you being true to yourself?
00:04:44.761 --> 00:04:49.231
I tend to kind of, how can I say, if you guys have listened to my podcast previously
00:04:49.557 --> 00:04:52.491
or seen my, you know, I'm on YouTube. I'm all over the place,
00:04:52.491 --> 00:04:54.521
Spotify, Apple, and all that.
00:04:55.698 --> 00:04:59.501
And one thing that I want to lean towards to teach is that, hey,
00:04:59.501 --> 00:05:03.814
listen, in order for us to level up to the next phase of our life,
00:05:04.278 --> 00:05:06.345
we can't be one foot in and one foot out.
00:05:07.163 --> 00:05:10.081
So, you know, that's that kind of trade that a wolf has. That,
00:05:10.081 --> 00:05:13.560
yeah, listen, either I'm alone or in a pact, no in between.
00:05:14.659 --> 00:05:19.879
A lone wolf, you know, is loyal. You know, they care for their, you know, each other.
00:05:20.963 --> 00:05:24.591
They create family bonds, loyalty, and teamwork. And that's one thing,
00:05:24.591 --> 00:05:30.169
even at work, even outside of work, even when I do events, it's one of the things that I teamwork.
00:05:30.819 --> 00:05:34.297
And they become protected of the loved one and the special people that's around.
00:05:34.732 --> 00:05:38.701
Even though the wolf, and hey, listen, even though the wolf tends to be in these
00:05:38.701 --> 00:05:41.530
wolf packs, sometimes it would isolate themselves.
00:05:42.340 --> 00:05:45.155
Maybe they did something wrong in that wolf pack. Like, again,
00:05:45.573 --> 00:05:47.491
we ask a wolf peck on hunting.
00:05:47.491 --> 00:05:53.491
If my job was to make sure that whatever, you know, animal, hey,
00:05:53.491 --> 00:05:56.376
listen, I'm just going to put myself here, take one for the team,
00:05:56.754 --> 00:05:59.281
make sure that animal falls so we could just, you know, start.
00:06:00.081 --> 00:06:03.516
But then if I didn't do my job, the wolf becomes isolated. And they know that.
00:06:03.842 --> 00:06:09.188
And I've seen myself, like, feeling like that way for years or, you know, always.
00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:13.437
That if I feel like I let somebody down, I isolate myself.
00:06:13.629 --> 00:06:17.890
Even myself, that if I let myself down, I'm like, okay, hold on.
00:06:19.223 --> 00:06:22.445
The wolves are like survival, whether they endure, you know,
00:06:22.445 --> 00:06:26.865
these winters, you know, these hunts that sometimes, whatever it is,
00:06:26.865 --> 00:06:29.860
these environments, the wolf is courageous.
00:06:31.375 --> 00:06:36.255
It doesn't stop. I mean, I've, you know, read stories of wolves going for their
00:06:36.255 --> 00:06:39.606
hunt and even dying, catching their hunt, but they just don't stop.
00:06:41.106 --> 00:06:44.495
It kind of reminds us that, you know, when you are courageous,
00:06:44.855 --> 00:06:49.238
then it comes in, especially in difficult times, then it comes with something there.
00:06:50.215 --> 00:06:53.975
There's many coaches you know that that kind of have heard you know held these
00:06:53.975 --> 00:06:58.495
wolf in high regard you know the native traditions the wolf it's like a teacher
00:06:58.495 --> 00:06:59.888
and a pathfinder you know,
00:07:00.958 --> 00:07:06.049
representing that wisdom that that guidance and that's basically what i've become
00:07:06.171 --> 00:07:10.015
and that's if you listen to my podcast and i'm pretty sure that you are subscribed
00:07:10.015 --> 00:07:15.204
if you have not subscribed and it's the first time the second time please hit that subscribe,
00:07:15.651 --> 00:07:17.117
button if that would help me a lot,
00:07:18.081 --> 00:07:23.335
But the fact that, you know, the wolf is very powerful and is very connected
00:07:23.335 --> 00:07:27.175
with certain things in regards to that wisdom, because, again,
00:07:27.175 --> 00:07:32.698
in my podcast, there's one thing I want to install wisdom to people.
00:07:33.900 --> 00:07:39.279
I was upset in my podcast. When you listen to it, I'm just not only saving a
00:07:39.279 --> 00:07:41.440
mind, but I'm saving a life. That's right.
00:07:42.450 --> 00:07:46.688
One of the traits that the world spirit had, you know, is sharp intelligence.
00:07:47.768 --> 00:07:49.087
It has appetite for freedom.
00:07:50.186 --> 00:07:54.209
It has determinationship and leadership, community and connection.
00:07:54.209 --> 00:07:57.229
See, those are the things that, well, that person and some people's like,
00:07:57.229 --> 00:08:03.172
wow, you know, indeed. I think it's more or less relates how I can and survive,
00:08:03.358 --> 00:08:06.301
let's say, alone, done many things alone on my own.
00:08:06.893 --> 00:08:10.219
But once I get connected, and that's why I'm doing this episode is because I'm
00:08:10.219 --> 00:08:12.906
letting the world out there that I need a pack.
00:08:13.730 --> 00:08:16.999
And I need to be surrounded by people. And not only am I, you know,
00:08:16.999 --> 00:08:20.539
and I know that some people, you know, they got the alpha wolf,
00:08:20.539 --> 00:08:22.032
which is the leader of the pack, right?
00:08:22.490 --> 00:08:29.199
And I want to say, listen, I could apply for an alpha, but I could also be in
00:08:29.199 --> 00:08:32.585
that pack. And it's like, okay, what can we do together?
00:08:33.688 --> 00:08:36.289
And it's that little appetite for freedom as well. It's like,
00:08:36.863 --> 00:08:41.809
if you listen to sharing off my previous podcast, it's that when it comes to
00:08:42.105 --> 00:08:44.595
sharing things, I think on my own. I think independent.
00:08:44.712 --> 00:08:49.079
And it's that appetite for freedom. I guess that's the reason why I'm an advocate
00:08:49.079 --> 00:08:52.389
of the independence of Puerto Rico. So let's go for the fact that,
00:08:52.389 --> 00:08:54.830
you know, with freedom, that's you could do so much.
00:08:56.022 --> 00:09:00.169
Even if certain things that fail, but at least you're not restricted to just
00:09:00.169 --> 00:09:03.174
that one path. And that's the thing about the wolf.
00:09:04.407 --> 00:09:08.659
See, the wolf creates different path and they'll go back to that path and see,
00:09:08.659 --> 00:09:12.529
oh, this is where I found this at. This is where I found my meal before.
00:09:12.529 --> 00:09:13.938
So that's why they adapt.
00:09:14.229 --> 00:09:18.309
So if they then they'll create another path, they adapt to that path.
00:09:19.412 --> 00:09:23.189
So that's why you know my folks out there that are listening my legendary folks
00:09:23.189 --> 00:09:27.028
that are listening out there it's why I resonate to the wolf let's go.
00:09:29.362 --> 00:09:33.408
Probably going to, hopefully, once I edit this, maybe I'll add some little wolf
00:09:33.408 --> 00:09:35.806
things going on. But hey, listen, it is what it is.
00:09:36.293 --> 00:09:39.196
Because sometimes I always say my own soundboard is my voice.
00:09:39.707 --> 00:09:44.926
And I hope that you find this very entertaining and very, how can I say,
00:09:45.083 --> 00:09:46.128
you learn something from it.
00:09:47.014 --> 00:09:50.288
Because this is not just listening to a podcast or a podcast episode.
00:09:51.509 --> 00:09:55.584
But you're being educated and you're taking wisdom. And this is a guidance to guide people.
00:09:56.600 --> 00:09:58.858
Your little intuition. That's why your little intuition says,
00:09:58.858 --> 00:10:00.501
you know what? I got to spread this message.
00:10:01.632 --> 00:10:05.394
Let me know in the comment. Feel free to reach out to me on my email.
00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:08.819
Let me know what animal you resonate. Again, I'm going to try.
00:10:09.196 --> 00:10:12.368
I'm not going to try. I'll take it back. I'm going to make sure that on a monthly
00:10:12.368 --> 00:10:16.898
basis, I bring some of these guidance. Because every time, every month,
00:10:16.898 --> 00:10:21.331
every day, we definitely need guidance in this life, in this world.
00:10:22.192 --> 00:10:25.634
Because as a wolf would say, we only have each other. You know what I mean?
00:10:26.376 --> 00:10:29.178
So you let me know. feel free to reach out to me. I want to say that,
00:10:29.178 --> 00:10:33.848
hey, it means a lot. And, you know, to value the freedom, to have loyalty,
00:10:34.268 --> 00:10:38.208
to learn through your experience, to seek wisdom and personal growth in regards
00:10:38.208 --> 00:10:41.015
to the wolf and yourself and us as humans.
00:10:41.719 --> 00:10:43.188
That's what I always say. Let's make it happen.
00:10:43.954 --> 00:10:48.398
So the wolf is just more than just a symbol of one. It represents this balance
00:10:48.398 --> 00:10:52.568
between independence, connection, instinct, wisdom, strength,
00:10:52.568 --> 00:10:55.953
compassion, companionship, compassion, I'm sorry.
00:10:57.016 --> 00:11:01.358
And always remember, trust yourself. If you are aiming for something and you
00:11:01.358 --> 00:11:05.271
say, I'm in a journey, I'm in a mission, honor that. Finish that.
00:11:06.321 --> 00:11:09.978
Remember, the true strength comes from knowing who you are. And that's what
00:11:09.978 --> 00:11:11.324
basically we're all about.
00:11:11.888 --> 00:11:15.468
Thank you for listening here to this beautiful spirit of the wild,
00:11:15.468 --> 00:11:20.258
the wolf on the Deconstructing Topic Podcast. Next time, Let's make it happen.
00:11:20.258 --> 00:11:25.233
Let's stay connected and let's keep exploring the wisdom that nature has to offer.
00:11:25.709 --> 00:11:28.507
All right. I'm out of here. Peace. I'm out.
