Gosh, I'll give you my first gut answer. is I wouldn't change anything. I wouldn't tell him anything because the anxiety that I went through, the panic, sounds awful, right? To go through most of my young life suppressing and being vanilla and hiding my true self Why would anyone want to go through that? But it was actually the greatest gift that I've ever given myself.
To go through that, to overcome it, to realize the true root, to overcome it, to unleash myself and my potential, I wouldn't be where I am today, meaning I wouldn't have accomplished all of the
magnitudes of things that i've done without that pain and without that struggle and that overcoming and now the ability to help others pull through it i wouldn't have the tools or the knowledge that i'm sharing on this i wouldn't be on this podcast today sharing this message and touching at least one person's life inspiring someone so when i think about this i wouldn't go back in time and i wouldn't talk to her maybe what i would do is just give him a hug and say
Trust yourself. You've got this. Keep going. And I mean, I wouldn't even tell him that because where I am today is very powerful because of what that young man, that boy endured and went through. It wasn't a bad thing. It was just what I needed to be on my highest mission and my destiny where I am today.
I'm not going to save everyone with what I'm going to say, right? Because it's just the brutal truth of it is, like you said earlier, it's 100% our responsibility, our ownership, that even when I was five years old and someone yelled at me and I shut down, it was my choice as a five-year-old to stop that energy from flowing through me. And I know that's brutal to say, but it's the truth is,
We have a decision now, if you're feeling anxiety and you know now, listening to me, that the root cause is suppressed emotions built up over time, like a pressure cooker. Now you have the opportunity to fully feel through that, to release it, to process it.
And in that, number one, you overcome the daily high stress, overwhelming anxiety that you're dealing with, like the dread, the paralysis, the fatigue, all of that can be overcome. Not saying you won't get nervous for a test or feel anxiety at moments, right? That's normal human emotion.
But if you step in and move through it, because you basically have two choices now, is you can move through this, face it, not face it in the external world with a sword and your might and your will, but to feel all the voltage. right?
You can go that route or you can continue to bury it in productivity, to bury it in working, to bury it in, like you said, smoking or drinking or overeating or pornography or any type of vice. And there's no judgment on that because we all go through that. We're humans. But I want to inspire you guys. Now that you know the root cause, let's lean into it so that you can overcome it.
Instead of battling it, thinking, just like with my memory, I thought, oh, I was never going to have a good memory. No, I'm showing you right now it's possible for you to overcome this too. The same demons that I went through, the same panic, the same anxiety, it's the same root cause.
We went through different childhoods and different things, but it's all the same accumulation that's building up inside of you that you can now move through if you choose.
That's the choice. All the stuff that's happening to you that you're feeling isn't a bad thing. That's your mind telling you. There's no such thing as good and bad. All of it. Let's accumulate all of this stuff that's inside of you. I'll access all of it. Not just the good. Not just try to feel good all the time because that's the reason we're going through all this. But we have that choice.
It's just choice at this point. We all have free will. That's why half the people listening to this will dive in like inspired, right? And maybe another half will just keep doing what they're doing. That's okay. You know, eventually, like you said, it will get loud enough in their life where they will be forced to make another choice.
You know, I wouldn't have shared it years ago, but I'm happy to share it now because it's really powerful. You know, it really, really is a lot of fun. So thank you for asking these questions for people to bring it forth to love this.
