Transcript

Really wanna change your life? Okay. Let go. Let it all go. That desire to be heard or worst, let it go. That wrestling you do when you try to not feel the grief, the pain, the anger, the sadness, or whatever you're experiencing at the current emotional state you're in, let that wrestle go. You really wanna change your life? You need to surrender. You see, the way that you think things should be versus the way that things actually are in reality, that delta between those two things, that is suffering, and it is created largely by us. But when you step into a radical acceptance of what is better than trying to change or manipulate a narrative of what should be, oh, I should not feel grief, sadness, or anger, so I need to wrestle it or bury it or, medicate it. Oh, I should be doing this to my life, and I'm no. So therefore, I'm rank. I'm frustrated. I'm depressed. Let all that shit go. Let it go. Definitely is the hardest, not easy, but simple I've ever given in a video. It is not easy to do, but it is simple to understand. And if you can do it, life's gonna be righteous. Don't over complicate it. I love you very much. I know how difficult this can be. And I'm here for you, and I see you, and I truly love you, and so does Jesus. Bye.
