dialogue, connecting deeply with the diverse
00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:32.700
voices and perspectives right here. in Seattle,
00:00:32.820 --> 00:00:40.479
Washington. Yo, I'm super glad y 'all could join
00:00:40.479 --> 00:00:44.280
me today on this podcast. Self -discovery is
00:00:44.280 --> 00:00:47.439
a well -known cultural and colloquial phrase.
00:00:48.159 --> 00:00:50.939
But what does it really mean? Today, I'll give
00:00:50.939 --> 00:00:53.960
you my definition and unpack the sought after
00:00:53.960 --> 00:00:56.960
knowledge behind this desirable state of mind.
00:00:59.949 --> 00:01:02.409
super interesting there off the bat right self
00:01:02.409 --> 00:01:06.069
-discovery as a state of mind and I feel like
00:01:06.069 --> 00:01:11.170
it's super important and impactful to have that
00:01:11.170 --> 00:01:13.849
growth mindset because I feel like at its core
00:01:13.849 --> 00:01:17.750
that's really what self -discovery is so let
00:01:17.750 --> 00:01:19.709
me give you my definition and then I'll read
00:01:19.709 --> 00:01:21.969
a few other definitions so you can see how they
00:01:21.969 --> 00:01:25.709
all stack up this is what I came up with developing
00:01:25.709 --> 00:01:29.069
the notes for this show So here's my definition
00:01:29.069 --> 00:01:32.709
of self discovery self discovery is taking note
00:01:32.709 --> 00:01:36.590
of your lived experiences and Desiring to understand
00:01:36.590 --> 00:01:40.709
improve and explore new perspectives to enhance
00:01:40.709 --> 00:01:45.129
your state of being So right there off the bat
00:01:45.129 --> 00:01:50.810
Lived experiences and also desiring to understand
00:01:50.810 --> 00:01:53.689
so I think it's those moments where we have lived
00:01:53.689 --> 00:01:58.650
experiences and then In those moments, the emotions,
00:01:58.969 --> 00:02:01.310
thoughts, feelings, and questions we have coming
00:02:01.310 --> 00:02:05.209
away from controversial experiences, controversial
00:02:05.209 --> 00:02:09.150
polarizing days and moments within our lives
00:02:09.150 --> 00:02:11.930
is really where self -discovery takes place.
00:02:13.009 --> 00:02:15.849
And I think there's a bit of a paradox here because
00:02:15.849 --> 00:02:18.270
we hear the phrase self -discovery like it's
00:02:18.270 --> 00:02:21.849
about looking within, but it's actually a two
00:02:21.849 --> 00:02:28.189
-sided cookie, right? On one side, you do need
00:02:28.189 --> 00:02:30.969
to look within, but on the other side, it's the
00:02:30.969 --> 00:02:33.729
things that happen to you outside of yourself
00:02:33.729 --> 00:02:40.909
that cause you to want to learn more. So, it's
00:02:40.909 --> 00:02:45.770
a two -sided topic. Alright, here's a couple
00:02:45.770 --> 00:02:50.210
more, or a few more, actually, definitions. Self
00:02:50.210 --> 00:02:53.430
-discovery is taking note of your lived experiences
00:02:53.430 --> 00:02:57.580
and choosing to understand improve and explore
00:02:57.580 --> 00:03:01.039
new perspectives. All with the goal of enhancing
00:03:01.039 --> 00:03:03.939
your state of being. So that one was pretty similar
00:03:03.939 --> 00:03:07.020
to mine. Here's another one, it's a little more
00:03:07.020 --> 00:03:10.979
conversational. Self -discovery means paying
00:03:10.979 --> 00:03:13.960
attention to the life you've lived, then having
00:03:13.960 --> 00:03:17.240
the desire to grow from it. To understand, to
00:03:17.240 --> 00:03:20.340
improve, to explore new perspectives that make
00:03:20.340 --> 00:03:25.979
you better. I like that. And this one the last
00:03:25.979 --> 00:03:29.580
one is a little more philosophical I would say
00:03:29.580 --> 00:03:32.599
Self -discovery is the practice of reflecting
00:03:32.599 --> 00:03:37.060
on your lived experiences and from them Cultivating
00:03:37.060 --> 00:03:40.979
a desire to understand to improve and to explore
00:03:40.979 --> 00:03:44.740
new perspectives that elevate your way of being
00:03:44.740 --> 00:03:50.879
So some super interesting stuff there and self
00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:54.039
-discovery is a pillar of this show and I wanted
00:03:54.039 --> 00:03:57.659
to explore that a little bit further with all
00:03:57.659 --> 00:04:01.620
of my listeners and really unpack some of the
00:04:01.620 --> 00:04:04.439
things that come to mind for me when I hear self
00:04:04.439 --> 00:04:06.719
-discovery. So just right off the top of the
00:04:06.719 --> 00:04:10.680
head, when I hear self -discovery, I hear curiosity,
00:04:11.419 --> 00:04:16.839
I hear desire, I hear intention. When I hear
00:04:16.839 --> 00:04:21.740
self -discovery, I hear a combination of lived
00:04:21.740 --> 00:04:26.660
experience, then also seeking wisdom seeking
00:04:26.660 --> 00:04:29.000
information that you can't hold right because
00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:32.259
we don't hold all the our own ideas and I think
00:04:32.259 --> 00:04:35.279
a big part of self -discovery is realizing that
00:04:35.279 --> 00:04:38.620
your perspective isn't the only perspective and
00:04:38.620 --> 00:04:41.060
because of that you don't contain all the ideas
00:04:41.060 --> 00:04:46.680
and so ultimately you want to become almost superhuman
00:04:46.680 --> 00:04:49.699
in a way because once you have the knowledge
00:04:49.699 --> 00:04:52.790
like think about it like this Someone wants a
00:04:52.790 --> 00:04:55.129
superpower right they ask for knowledge What
00:04:55.129 --> 00:04:57.870
if your superpower was I have the knowledge of
00:04:57.870 --> 00:05:01.990
10 men not the strength of 10 men? Not the looks
00:05:01.990 --> 00:05:06.009
of 10 men not the money, but the knowledge. That's
00:05:06.009 --> 00:05:09.629
a really interesting angle. I have the knowledge
00:05:09.629 --> 00:05:13.350
of 10 men. What could you do with? 20 men 30
00:05:13.350 --> 00:05:16.050
40 50 a million men the knowledge of a million
00:05:16.050 --> 00:05:23.709
men that is it that is a insurmountable amount
00:05:23.709 --> 00:05:27.389
of knowledge so we probably will never get there
00:05:27.389 --> 00:05:29.790
as normal people right because being a superhero
00:05:29.790 --> 00:05:34.389
is a bit of a fantasy but I think that's incredible
00:05:34.389 --> 00:05:37.009
I think we could get to the point of having the
00:05:37.009 --> 00:05:40.610
knowledge of 20 to 30 to 40 maybe even 50 people
00:05:40.610 --> 00:05:43.829
through reading books articles through talking
00:05:43.829 --> 00:05:46.670
through interviews through pulling people into
00:05:46.670 --> 00:05:49.680
your network who know more than you or maybe
00:05:49.680 --> 00:05:52.439
not even more but know differently than you.
00:05:52.980 --> 00:05:55.199
That's the power of people, that's the power
00:05:55.199 --> 00:05:58.560
of culture, that's the power of networking and
00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:00.839
we all come into contact with lots of different
00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:03.560
groups of people but the special thing about
00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:06.000
it is when we come in the culture is different
00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:08.720
from our own there's always a chance to learn
00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:13.819
and so when you value that you definitely have
00:06:13.819 --> 00:06:16.920
the growth mindset and a mindset that values
00:06:16.920 --> 00:06:23.329
self -discovery. Now that I've shared my definition
00:06:23.329 --> 00:06:26.149
of self -discovery I want to break it down even
00:06:26.149 --> 00:06:30.389
further For me it comes down to three simple
00:06:30.389 --> 00:06:35.949
powerful pillars desire Curiosity and intention.
00:06:36.110 --> 00:06:41.509
Let's start with the first one desire In this
00:06:41.509 --> 00:06:48.310
case You got to want it and I think what people
00:06:48.310 --> 00:06:54.300
trip on is the Seemingly overwhelming amount
00:06:54.300 --> 00:06:57.160
of knowledge and information that exists in the
00:06:57.160 --> 00:07:00.680
known world and That's fine. That's true. There
00:07:00.680 --> 00:07:03.180
is more information out there than you will ever
00:07:03.180 --> 00:07:08.220
be able to integrate into your own life but the
00:07:08.220 --> 00:07:17.620
amazing thing here is That's okay and There is
00:07:17.620 --> 00:07:23.779
a philosophical part of my mind that says the
00:07:23.779 --> 00:07:26.500
things that you're meant to know you will know
00:07:26.500 --> 00:07:31.500
in a divine way right you may not know all things
00:07:31.500 --> 00:07:35.120
but the things that you do find value in will
00:07:35.120 --> 00:07:40.160
add value to your life they will add substance
00:07:40.160 --> 00:07:47.139
to your life so I would say don't be too forth
00:07:47.139 --> 00:07:51.470
going Trying to understand it all start with
00:07:51.470 --> 00:07:55.230
the things that matter most to you That could
00:07:55.230 --> 00:07:58.449
be knowledge about cars that could be knowledge
00:07:58.449 --> 00:08:01.370
about exercise that could be knowledge about
00:08:01.370 --> 00:08:06.649
people psychology sociology so Start somewhere
00:08:06.649 --> 00:08:10.290
just be just be willing to start somewhere right
00:08:10.290 --> 00:08:16.129
our second Pillar of self -discovery is curiosity
00:08:16.129 --> 00:08:19.990
right What's the difference between desire and
00:08:19.990 --> 00:08:24.949
curiosity? You may want something, right? I think
00:08:24.949 --> 00:08:29.610
we can liken the word desire to want. What do
00:08:29.610 --> 00:08:34.970
you want? And we can liken curiosity to being
00:08:34.970 --> 00:08:42.990
that desire has a will to grow, right? And there
00:08:42.990 --> 00:08:45.809
are two sides, just like I mentioned earlier,
00:08:46.750 --> 00:08:51.059
right? two sides to self -discovery two sides
00:08:51.059 --> 00:08:53.960
to that cookie there's two sides to curiosity
00:08:53.960 --> 00:09:01.179
and like i was saying you may not want to naturally
00:09:01.179 --> 00:09:03.360
go out and discover everything there's going
00:09:03.360 --> 00:09:06.419
to be certain things that just make sense to
00:09:06.419 --> 00:09:10.639
you and so that curiosity right don't get discouraged
00:09:10.639 --> 00:09:13.100
if there's something you aren't interested in
00:09:13.100 --> 00:09:15.179
that's just you being you that's your unique
00:09:15.179 --> 00:09:18.639
design that's your personality Right? We all
00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:22.259
have a unique makeup, so some things you may
00:09:22.259 --> 00:09:24.879
be curious about, other things you may not be
00:09:24.879 --> 00:09:28.539
that curious about. And the third pillar is intention.
00:09:29.559 --> 00:09:33.940
I think curiosity evolves into intention when
00:09:33.940 --> 00:09:36.299
we start to apply the knowledge that we learn
00:09:36.299 --> 00:09:42.539
from. So that's just super interesting and I
00:09:42.539 --> 00:09:46.519
think desire, curiosity and intention The three
00:09:46.519 --> 00:09:48.600
pillars of self -discovery if you have those
00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:51.960
three things and truly care about molding yourself,
00:09:52.059 --> 00:09:55.440
right? This is a process of being formed and
00:09:55.440 --> 00:09:58.259
it's awesome that humans have these amazing brains
00:09:58.259 --> 00:10:01.460
that let us choose that let us decide that let
00:10:01.460 --> 00:10:09.720
us Manipulate the knowledge in our lives and
00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:16.350
It's really interesting right these pillars aren't
00:10:16.350 --> 00:10:18.590
just ideas I pulled out of thin air right they
00:10:18.590 --> 00:10:21.490
come from my own lived experience right let me
00:10:21.490 --> 00:10:24.409
share a bit of my personal journey and how these
00:10:24.409 --> 00:10:28.110
lessons have shown up in my life right we want
00:10:28.110 --> 00:10:33.190
to be molded we want to be formed and again I
00:10:33.190 --> 00:10:35.990
think it starts with knowing that your ideas
00:10:35.990 --> 00:10:39.470
aren't the only ideas so and my personal self
00:10:39.470 --> 00:10:45.590
-discovery journey I realized that am truly attracted
00:10:45.590 --> 00:10:52.289
to not only knowledge but the substance the fine
00:10:52.289 --> 00:10:57.570
details you know the sandpaper of the ideas right
00:10:57.570 --> 00:11:00.970
the the things that are gonna rub off on me so
00:11:00.970 --> 00:11:08.009
for me it's about loving truth and knowledge
00:11:08.009 --> 00:11:11.659
and when you come into contact with ideas when
00:11:11.659 --> 00:11:13.919
you're exposed to things that you've never been
00:11:13.919 --> 00:11:17.740
exposed before in the form of ideas it changes
00:11:17.740 --> 00:11:23.480
you and that's what truly i desire and i think
00:11:23.480 --> 00:11:26.620
other people should desire too is when you want
00:11:26.620 --> 00:11:29.940
to change you know you can change and it's a
00:11:29.940 --> 00:11:33.120
process it takes time and you may only want to
00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:40.379
focus on a few specific areas but is something
00:11:40.379 --> 00:11:44.039
that you can build on something that you can
00:11:44.039 --> 00:11:48.539
look forward to is the truth and the knowledge
00:11:48.539 --> 00:11:52.039
once you're exposed to truth that's how things
00:11:52.039 --> 00:11:59.580
unpack that's how things grow and i think that's
00:11:59.580 --> 00:12:03.440
super incredible hearing words hearing ideas
00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:05.940
and having those things come into contact with
00:12:05.940 --> 00:12:08.769
your mind with your consciousness Some things
00:12:08.769 --> 00:12:12.389
are unforgettable, right? And that's the premise
00:12:12.389 --> 00:12:15.129
of multiple movies is that the most valuable
00:12:15.129 --> 00:12:19.230
but also dangerous thing in our existence are
00:12:19.230 --> 00:12:23.830
not only our words, but the ideas that are shaped
00:12:23.830 --> 00:12:26.450
and formed from words, thoughts, and feelings.
00:12:27.450 --> 00:12:30.909
So it's up to you to be the judge when you come
00:12:30.909 --> 00:12:35.230
into contact with a new idea. Another little
00:12:35.230 --> 00:12:40.039
piece of my personal journey is the joy of connection.
00:12:40.740 --> 00:12:43.899
I enjoy connecting with people and not only that,
00:12:43.940 --> 00:12:47.360
but in that connection, I love being able to
00:12:47.360 --> 00:12:51.740
think freely. I love being able to not think
00:12:51.740 --> 00:12:56.200
sometimes, to just listen and show up with a
00:12:56.200 --> 00:13:02.240
mindset that is the mindset of having a cup.
00:13:03.220 --> 00:13:07.220
The mindset of having an object to fill. And
00:13:07.220 --> 00:13:11.919
the other person is filling my cup. And in that
00:13:11.919 --> 00:13:15.320
space, I'm the judge. If I want to pour out the
00:13:15.320 --> 00:13:20.720
ideas, the inklings, the suggestions of that
00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:24.159
other person I'm engaging with, I can. Or in
00:13:24.159 --> 00:13:28.179
turn, if I don't want to pour that cup out, I
00:13:28.179 --> 00:13:30.840
can keep the gift that they have given me, which
00:13:30.840 --> 00:13:32.860
is their time, their presence, their thoughts
00:13:32.860 --> 00:13:35.509
and their ideas. we're all out there filling
00:13:35.509 --> 00:13:38.429
each other's cup some people will empty you out
00:13:38.429 --> 00:13:41.289
some people will keep you and save you so it's
00:13:41.289 --> 00:13:45.250
just up to you to pace yourself and ask questions
00:13:45.250 --> 00:13:50.029
right i can't stress this enough you know we
00:13:50.029 --> 00:13:53.370
all get burnt out on things and it just takes
00:13:53.370 --> 00:13:56.409
time you have to be okay with the fact that each
00:13:56.409 --> 00:13:59.690
five -year cycle each 10 -year cycle is going
00:13:59.690 --> 00:14:04.059
to teach you different things but i think It's
00:14:04.059 --> 00:14:09.059
also important Not to get desperate and just
00:14:09.059 --> 00:14:12.460
I can't stress this enough pacing yourself Right.
00:14:12.460 --> 00:14:16.019
I've been working on multiple books, right? Not
00:14:16.019 --> 00:14:19.700
that I'm offering them. I'm reading them And
00:14:19.700 --> 00:14:23.700
it's been several months, right? I'm working
00:14:23.700 --> 00:14:28.779
on a 300 plus page book right now and I've been
00:14:28.779 --> 00:14:35.000
reading the book for Four months now So I'm taking
00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:40.139
my time with it. And that's what matters. Taking
00:14:40.139 --> 00:14:43.299
your time, pacing yourself just like anything.
00:14:46.080 --> 00:14:50.820
And you know, as I've grown, I've realized that
00:14:50.820 --> 00:14:52.899
self -discovery isn't just about what's happening
00:14:52.899 --> 00:14:56.519
inside. It's also about how we engage with the
00:14:56.519 --> 00:15:00.580
world around us. You know, the tension. The tension
00:15:00.580 --> 00:15:03.740
of looking inward versus outward. It's where
00:15:03.740 --> 00:15:07.820
real truth about self -discovery begins to show,
00:15:07.820 --> 00:15:12.759
right? It's the questions in life that leave
00:15:12.759 --> 00:15:16.279
us with a decision to either act or stay idle.
00:15:17.139 --> 00:15:22.019
So it's those moments where we feel emotion,
00:15:22.200 --> 00:15:26.980
and I think emotions are questions. You go through
00:15:26.980 --> 00:15:29.399
a rough night at the house, right, with the family,
00:15:29.500 --> 00:15:34.460
and you're feeling some type of way. That emotion
00:15:34.460 --> 00:15:37.879
I think in a lot of ways is actually a question
00:15:37.879 --> 00:15:41.700
and You have to ask yourself. How do I feel?
00:15:42.440 --> 00:15:45.639
Why do I feel what made me feel this way who
00:15:45.639 --> 00:15:49.340
made me feel this way? Where was I and what if
00:15:49.340 --> 00:15:53.779
things were different? so Self discovery is about
00:15:53.779 --> 00:15:56.240
asking questions. What do I want to change? What
00:15:56.240 --> 00:15:58.759
would I like to be different? How do I feel?
00:15:59.720 --> 00:16:02.519
Do I want to change how I feel? Do I want to
00:16:02.519 --> 00:16:07.000
change how I manage this situation? It's the
00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:10.299
questions in life that leave us with decisions
00:16:10.299 --> 00:16:15.740
to either act or stay idle. It's a collective
00:16:15.740 --> 00:16:18.700
process that after we're puzzled by either the
00:16:18.700 --> 00:16:21.460
lack or influx of thoughts, feelings, and emotions,
00:16:21.960 --> 00:16:26.220
to take account of those things and seek reasonably.
00:16:27.970 --> 00:16:33.450
Seek reasonability About them right is it okay
00:16:33.450 --> 00:16:36.590
not to care at all is there a right or wrong
00:16:36.590 --> 00:16:40.809
way to go about life and I think that brings
00:16:40.809 --> 00:16:46.230
up a real interesting offshoot because Searching
00:16:46.230 --> 00:16:51.570
within yourself Doesn't necessarily I think in
00:16:51.570 --> 00:16:56.610
all cases You don't need that many ideas outside
00:16:56.610 --> 00:16:59.460
of yourself Right, I think there are certain
00:16:59.460 --> 00:17:04.099
situations and circumstances where The real self
00:17:04.099 --> 00:17:07.160
real self discovery comes from managing your
00:17:07.160 --> 00:17:11.720
emotions properly you coming through a situation
00:17:11.720 --> 00:17:15.339
and You're met with a tough choice a tough challenge
00:17:15.339 --> 00:17:19.460
Something isn't right. That's when you make the
00:17:19.460 --> 00:17:25.710
decision to change right self discovery may Just
00:17:25.710 --> 00:17:28.150
be about change. It may be about adapting. It
00:17:28.150 --> 00:17:36.750
may be about looking within yourself and saying,
00:17:37.730 --> 00:17:39.970
I want to manage this situation differently.
00:17:40.970 --> 00:17:43.569
Whatever that situation or circumstance may be.
00:17:44.390 --> 00:17:49.230
And I think that is an incredible way to look
00:17:49.230 --> 00:17:54.900
at it. Right? Is there a responsibility based
00:17:54.900 --> 00:17:58.319
upon your unique identity and unique design to
00:17:58.319 --> 00:18:04.140
be the very best version of you? Right? So many
00:18:04.140 --> 00:18:06.160
different lifestyles, so many different mindsets,
00:18:06.259 --> 00:18:10.799
so many different places on this planet. And
00:18:10.799 --> 00:18:18.059
who you are matters. Who you are matters. But
00:18:18.059 --> 00:18:22.839
I would encourage you and hopefully I can inspire
00:18:22.839 --> 00:18:26.920
you to figure out a little bit more about yourself.
00:18:29.440 --> 00:18:32.839
Engage with some ideas, think about that tough
00:18:32.839 --> 00:18:38.200
situation, and then act accordingly. Figure out
00:18:38.200 --> 00:18:46.140
a way to better regulate your emotions to find
00:18:46.140 --> 00:18:58.650
more peace. Alright y 'all? While self discovery
00:18:58.650 --> 00:19:01.609
starts with asking those inner questions, it
00:19:01.609 --> 00:19:05.630
doesn't happen in a vacuum. The spaces we're
00:19:05.630 --> 00:19:08.130
in and the people we're around shape the way
00:19:08.130 --> 00:19:12.029
we see ourselves. That's why environment matters.
00:19:13.210 --> 00:19:16.170
It can either guide us towards clarity or keep
00:19:16.170 --> 00:19:21.250
us stuck in confusion. Right, why does environment
00:19:21.250 --> 00:19:27.579
matter? and is it a key to wayfinding and direction,
00:19:28.460 --> 00:19:31.220
you know? We have to take into account who we're
00:19:31.220 --> 00:19:38.519
around and what's lacking or is of extreme abundance,
00:19:39.140 --> 00:19:43.420
right? Whether it's school, home, church, social
00:19:43.420 --> 00:19:48.079
circles. Your environment can teach you so much.
00:19:48.299 --> 00:19:50.660
From place to place, if you're taking account
00:19:50.839 --> 00:19:54.500
of how you feel and why you feel that way, those
00:19:54.500 --> 00:19:58.259
are clues to learn more, to seek wisdom and knowledge
00:19:58.259 --> 00:20:01.400
about those social circles, scenarios, settings
00:20:01.400 --> 00:20:05.920
and circumstances. I think that's super cool
00:20:05.920 --> 00:20:09.660
and that's something that I would want to teach
00:20:09.660 --> 00:20:14.119
and inspire and get the word out about, right?
00:20:21.570 --> 00:20:25.369
And it's just so incredible that we have all
00:20:25.369 --> 00:20:28.690
these different thought leaders and authors and
00:20:28.690 --> 00:20:35.890
filmmakers that allow us to teach ourselves through
00:20:35.890 --> 00:20:41.569
narrative that there's more that is possible.
00:20:42.529 --> 00:20:45.109
More is possible than you could possibly know
00:20:45.109 --> 00:20:52.309
as far as being enlightened. Being inspired right
00:20:52.309 --> 00:20:56.950
having the desire the curiosity and the intention
00:20:56.950 --> 00:21:06.450
To discover to go on a quest to lean into your
00:21:06.450 --> 00:21:14.849
questions good or bad And That's just special
00:21:14.849 --> 00:21:18.230
Self -discovery shouldn't leave you in a place
00:21:19.150 --> 00:21:27.329
over time of of sorrow in my mind at least over
00:21:27.329 --> 00:21:30.329
time self -discovery should lead you to a place
00:21:30.329 --> 00:21:40.029
of holistic contentment I believe right but self
00:21:40.029 --> 00:21:44.710
-discovery itself alright stick with me self
00:21:44.710 --> 00:21:50.279
-discovery itself don't think is synonymous with
00:21:50.279 --> 00:21:58.599
consequences right where whether you end up a
00:21:58.599 --> 00:22:02.839
place in life that you're happy or not so happy
00:22:02.839 --> 00:22:10.140
with right you still discovered some things I
00:22:10.140 --> 00:22:13.579
think in tune the knowledge that comes with self
00:22:13.579 --> 00:22:17.529
-discovery will lead you to truth. And once you
00:22:17.529 --> 00:22:21.630
have truth, what's the old saying? You probably
00:22:21.630 --> 00:22:24.369
already know it. What's the old saying? The truth
00:22:24.369 --> 00:22:28.009
will set you free. And freedom is happiness.
00:22:29.210 --> 00:22:32.190
Freedom is happiness. And whatever realm you
00:22:32.190 --> 00:22:36.910
want to say it, freedom is happiness. And we
00:22:36.910 --> 00:22:44.619
all want freedom. We all want leeway. Environment
00:22:44.619 --> 00:22:50.440
plays a huge role in shaping our discovery. School,
00:22:50.799 --> 00:22:54.980
home, church, friendships. But beyond that, life
00:22:54.980 --> 00:22:57.880
itself becomes the greatest teacher. And the
00:22:57.880 --> 00:23:00.880
way we learn is through questions. Questions
00:23:00.880 --> 00:23:03.640
that challenge us, stretch us, and ultimately
00:23:03.640 --> 00:23:12.539
guide us. Right? You know... It's just one of
00:23:12.539 --> 00:23:17.019
those things. Life as a teacher and our lived
00:23:17.019 --> 00:23:21.500
experiences, right? I think that a successful
00:23:21.500 --> 00:23:24.480
life is a life that is full of questions. As
00:23:24.480 --> 00:23:27.440
another old saying, question everything, right?
00:23:28.599 --> 00:23:35.619
Your perspective and the subtle changes that
00:23:35.619 --> 00:23:47.440
we see inspire us. you don't ask any questions
00:23:47.440 --> 00:23:52.019
in life and I would think that would be a life
00:23:52.019 --> 00:24:04.180
that maybe wasn't intentional enough but if you
00:24:04.180 --> 00:24:06.000
think about it we're asking questions from the
00:24:06.000 --> 00:24:12.839
time we're infants can I should I will I is that
00:24:12.839 --> 00:24:16.000
so questioning is a natural part of the human
00:24:16.000 --> 00:24:23.460
experience and It's something that is bound to
00:24:23.460 --> 00:24:29.279
take place and In an imperfect world, which is
00:24:29.279 --> 00:24:32.400
the world we live in we have to ask questions
00:24:32.400 --> 00:24:40.519
because Things just aren't right sometimes All
00:24:40.519 --> 00:24:45.339
right change of pace Before I wrap things up,
00:24:46.039 --> 00:24:50.480
I gotta slide in a quick Seahawks update. Y 'all
00:24:50.480 --> 00:24:52.880
know I can't go a whole episode without checking
00:24:52.880 --> 00:24:57.299
in on the hometown team. Just like self discovery
00:24:57.299 --> 00:25:00.039
is about growth and adjustment along the way,
00:25:00.740 --> 00:25:03.759
football is the same y 'all. Football is about
00:25:03.759 --> 00:25:07.059
learning from last week's mistakes, making changes
00:25:07.059 --> 00:25:10.900
and showing up stronger. Here's what's been going
00:25:10.900 --> 00:25:16.480
on with the Seahawks. Alright, so last week's
00:25:16.480 --> 00:25:20.140
game the Seahawks Were the victors they had the
00:25:20.140 --> 00:25:22.519
victory took it from the Pittsburgh Steelers
00:25:22.519 --> 00:25:30.619
31 to 17 Sam Donald went 22 of 33 for 295 yards.
00:25:30.619 --> 00:25:35.660
He had two touchdowns and two interceptions Kenneth
00:25:35.660 --> 00:25:39.839
Walker the running back 13 carries for 105 yards
00:25:40.519 --> 00:25:45.740
Zach Charbonne 15 carries for 10 yards that seems
00:25:45.740 --> 00:25:49.599
that's an interesting stat, but I guess Charbonne
00:25:49.599 --> 00:25:55.019
really didn't you know Carry the ball that far,
00:25:55.059 --> 00:25:59.980
but he had 15 carries Seattle receiving Jackson
00:25:59.980 --> 00:26:05.500
Smith and Jigba 8 receptions for 103 yards with
00:26:05.500 --> 00:26:10.160
10 targets Cooper Cup 7 receptions 90 yards 10
00:26:10.160 --> 00:26:16.799
targets a few others chipped in Tori Horton had
00:26:16.799 --> 00:26:23.680
a touchdown AJ Barner had a touchdown Seahawks
00:26:23.680 --> 00:26:32.019
defense Let's see here We had Byron Murphy the
00:26:32.019 --> 00:26:34.220
second with one and a half sacks Leonard Williams
00:26:34.220 --> 00:26:38.539
with half a sack Jaron Reed with a sack so Alright,
00:26:38.619 --> 00:26:41.440
so those were the stats right we got some stats
00:26:41.440 --> 00:26:44.859
here But yeah, my overall impressions of the
00:26:44.859 --> 00:26:48.500
team. I thought this game was an improvement
00:26:48.500 --> 00:26:53.579
Although I did feel from the first game it felt
00:26:53.579 --> 00:26:56.180
a little bit more of a dogfight what I mean by
00:26:56.180 --> 00:27:01.180
that It felt a little bit more balanced there
00:27:01.180 --> 00:27:04.160
was a little bit more rhythm to the game this
00:27:04.160 --> 00:27:07.970
this game this weekend against the Steelers We
00:27:07.970 --> 00:27:13.309
really relied on a few key plays right the Steelers
00:27:13.309 --> 00:27:21.150
on a kick return touched the football and In
00:27:21.150 --> 00:27:24.009
turn the Seahawks were able to jump on that football
00:27:24.009 --> 00:27:27.589
in the end zone. So I mean that play was huge
00:27:27.589 --> 00:27:31.890
You know, I feel encouraged about the team I
00:27:31.890 --> 00:27:34.859
want to see more and as I said last week You
00:27:34.859 --> 00:27:37.319
need at least a four -week sample size from the
00:27:37.319 --> 00:27:39.579
Seahawks to really get a feel for what they're
00:27:39.579 --> 00:27:43.500
doing. I'm super impressed with our defense so
00:27:43.500 --> 00:27:47.640
far. When Emin Worry gets healthy again, we're
00:27:47.640 --> 00:27:50.279
going to be even more dangerous. Obviously, he
00:27:50.279 --> 00:27:53.720
went down week one against the Niners, but the
00:27:53.720 --> 00:27:57.660
Seahawks look good. I enjoy the game. I don't
00:27:57.660 --> 00:27:59.680
want to put too much pressure on Sam Darnold
00:27:59.680 --> 00:28:03.200
because we have to realize he's learning a brand
00:28:03.200 --> 00:28:07.549
new system. This is his fifth NFL team. He's
00:28:07.549 --> 00:28:11.930
28 years old The amount of offensive coordinators
00:28:11.930 --> 00:28:15.150
and head coaches he's had is more than some people
00:28:15.150 --> 00:28:17.289
getting their whole career so we have to take
00:28:17.289 --> 00:28:20.150
that into account, but the Seahawks flew around
00:28:20.150 --> 00:28:24.950
they brought the energy and You know back -to
00:28:24.950 --> 00:28:29.250
-back weeks with two interceptions, so What people
00:28:29.250 --> 00:28:32.170
don't realize is that you know Mike McDonald
00:28:32.170 --> 00:28:36.049
was a defensive coordinator Baltimore right he
00:28:36.049 --> 00:28:38.589
was not a head coach he was not an offensive
00:28:38.589 --> 00:28:41.049
coordinator he was a defensive specialist and
00:28:41.049 --> 00:28:44.750
a defensive guru I haven't watched that much
00:28:44.750 --> 00:28:48.210
interview of Mike McDonald he's made a good impression
00:28:48.210 --> 00:28:50.750
on me so far he definitely seems like he really
00:28:50.750 --> 00:28:56.390
knows what he's about and he brings a spirit
00:28:56.390 --> 00:28:59.390
to the team that is tough but also a spirit to
00:28:59.390 --> 00:29:02.680
the team that we don't know that well yet All
00:29:02.680 --> 00:29:05.200
of us in Seattle are still waiting to see the
00:29:05.200 --> 00:29:07.779
kind of culture that is created from coach Mike
00:29:07.779 --> 00:29:11.819
McDonald and the rest of his coaching staff so
00:29:11.819 --> 00:29:14.559
Next week the Seahawks played the New Orleans
00:29:14.559 --> 00:29:17.299
Saints I'll be happy to bring you another update
00:29:17.299 --> 00:29:21.339
about that game my thoughts my feelings but overall
00:29:21.339 --> 00:29:26.200
the Seahawks were in the mix I believe the rest
00:29:26.200 --> 00:29:27.920
of the teams in our division are two and oh,
00:29:27.940 --> 00:29:30.220
we're one and one so hey, we're still chasing
00:29:30.860 --> 00:29:36.619
the top spot in our division, but overall, hey,
00:29:36.779 --> 00:29:38.779
the sky's the limit for the Xeons. We have not
00:29:38.779 --> 00:29:41.539
yet seen the best of this team. I'm excited to
00:29:41.539 --> 00:29:45.299
see us get some more wins and really produce
00:29:45.299 --> 00:29:59.660
some awesome spectacles on the field. So, all
00:29:59.660 --> 00:30:05.940
right. You know what? Here's my final note to
00:30:05.940 --> 00:30:12.240
self. Self -discovery, these episodes are called
00:30:12.240 --> 00:30:16.920
note to self, as it's a note to the self. Self
00:30:16.920 --> 00:30:19.380
-discovery isn't about reaching a final destination.
00:30:20.079 --> 00:30:22.460
It's about having the courage to ask questions,
00:30:22.859 --> 00:30:25.599
the humility to learn from your experiences,
00:30:25.900 --> 00:30:29.279
and the will to keep improving in spirit and
00:30:29.279 --> 00:30:33.700
truth. Fight for your dreams. embrace connection,
00:30:34.319 --> 00:30:37.400
and remember the paradox, right? The more you
00:30:37.400 --> 00:30:39.660
discover, the more you realize there's still
00:30:39.660 --> 00:30:43.319
so much to learn. That's not a weakness, that's
00:30:43.319 --> 00:30:46.740
the beauty of the journey. So my final call to
00:30:46.740 --> 00:30:52.880
action is to take note. Take note of your surroundings,
00:30:53.480 --> 00:30:56.799
your environment, your thoughts, and your feelings.
00:30:57.339 --> 00:31:01.700
Then ask yourself, which of these are worth exploring
00:31:01.700 --> 00:31:05.220
deeper. Alright y 'all, until next time, the
