(captions by Luna Slypher) - Man, I'll never be able to throw a baseball like Ruth. He's got so much more skill and talent than me... :( It's like he was born to be a pitcher. If I could throw like him, I'd be so happy :0 (best anime training) PEW -whoosh- -whoosh- Man I'll never be able to throw like Mason :( Self improvement! Seems like a simple concept! And what I've been learning the more I look into it is that.. No, it's not. It's all over the place, and everyone has some sort of struggle with it at one point or another and it can be a nightmare. It's like... ...falling from a tree. (rest in peace) There's so many different branches you can get smacked by... ...and I want to talk about it :D Self improvement is extremely important to me. Out of all the personal values I stand by, it's the one I actively think about the most. Multiple times a day, I'll end up having some sort of checkup with myself to analyze if I'm doing enough to satisfy my self growth quota. -thoughts- What can I change to do better? Am I pushing myself??? mmm.. This isn't good enough yet. :-( WHY DOES EVERYTHING I DO LOOK LIKE SHI- >:-( (this is a christian minecraft server) [demonetization prevention sticker]
And that's the pattern I and a lot of people can start to spiral into. The concept of self improvement is really positive and inspiring :) "Keep on working to develop yourself and you'll become the better person you could ever dream of!" :D "You can do anything you set your mind to!" :D "Go get 'em tiger!" >;) "Go get 'em tiger!" >;) Yeah.. woo! That sounds great, except ..there's also this one complication where some people start having unrealistic.. ..expectations and an unhealthy mindset and when they disappoint themselves after their inevitable failure to reach their unrealistic goal.. ..it cuts them so deeply that it impacts their self-worth right to the core of their being. woo. :/ I struggled with that one a lot. The "I can never be satisfied with what I'm doing and don't think I deserve any recognition" branch, just a bad case of impostor syndrome pretty much. I'd explain what that is But I don't think I'm qualified enough to do that There are much better youtubers than me who are much more deserving of my position and I don't think I'm worthy of people paying attention to what I say because my content isn't good enough and- oh. ΰ² _ΰ² oh. :,-( I really want to be able to play this really intense piano song because I've never done anything at that difficulty before and I'm gonna push myself out of my comfort level (god) (teach me your ways) Huh, well, it must have been actually too easy I mean, it's not that creative an achievement it hair is much better out there Man, I suck.(MOOD) No do you practice for weeks you earned this you should be able to be like "yeah!" "You know what? I'm freakin great and I deserve to feel at least a sliver of satisfaction for myself here! >:D" You idiot >:( *smacc* When you're constantly looking for the next bar to hit, you can blind yourself to how far you can come It's alright, you can actually be proud of yourself without being a so super Cocky douchebag- Since I value improvement so much, any sense of satisfaction With something would make me worried that I was settling and I wouldn't push myself anymore Hindsight is 20/20 and I'm able to see how Actually super toxic and damaging that thought process was I wasn't pushing myself out of passion like I thought I was. It was all just a disguise. Let's see who the culprit really was! >:D (weird sound effect) What- Oh no, it was actually pushing myself too hard out of blind fear of becoming complacent :( I got Jinky owo Self-improving also pertains to self-help. You can't grow as a person when you're holding a whip to yourself (smacc) Can you whip yourself? I looked it up and ended up at a page I didn't want but the analogy stands- You know that spongebob episode where spongebob was like, verbally abusing his snail and then it ends up exploding? (big explosion???) Hmm. This is your brain on negativity. Any questions? A big trip up can also be comparing yourself to other people There's definitely positive aspects of being inspired by people you look up to but like most things too much of anything can be bad There's always gonna be people of a higher skill set than you so you should try to identify who you are Not who to compare yourself to that won't be exactly like Bo he's super great and funny and really smart But I'm not Bo :( I'm such a failure >:( if everyone compared their skillsets to each other in order to calculate how much skill and potential they have then all Infant children should just give up on everything you think time and practice is gonna help you improve your drawing ability, baby?? Well think again you suck right now. So you might as well just throw in the towel your pathetic little waste of diapers >:( Look at your drawing compared to van Gogh you call those sunflowers ? >:( PSH This scribbled math shows no potential of improvement in the art field and you've even got more ears than him You could have like seven years and still not be capable of creating a fraction of anything that could be considered art. You're NOTHING. why u so mean, Jaiden? :,( NOTHING!!. Everyone's on their own timeline. Even if someone is the same age, or maybe even younger than you It's still not okay to compare how much further they are to you Jeremiah was able to hopscotch to number EIGHT when he was five I'm 21 and STILL get tripped up at the five and six combo. It's all right Everyone's got different variables pushing them forward and backwards Jeremiah has four legs and you've only got one you'll get there with enough practice chimp You've also got to think about why you want to improve something Is it for yourself or? Because you think that's what other people want from you if you make choices based on what others want then oops You played yourself all of a sudden in three years, you're hit with the realization that you don't know who you are And you're just a living amalgamation of other people's expectations Zoinks when I was nine, I had a friend who said her favorite color is blue So I said my favorite color was blue too because I wanted her to like me and that gave us something in common Real critical nine-year-old thinking there for years. I kept with that pattern of becoming a person I thought other people would like and saying my favorite color was blue because people who like purple are freaks (says the person who is wearing purple in their profile pic) until one year in high school I suddenly had an identity crisis and a whole mental breakdown being like I don't know who I am anymore All my personality traits are based on things. I've modified for other people. My favorite color isn't even blue!!!! :,( We ended up painting my bedroom walls from blue to white because of that meltdown don't paint your wall as a color based on lies From when you were nine Let's flip the coin and talk about the other side of the improvement spectrum as much as people can attach their self-worth to their failures Or shortcomings which is not good and you should not do that. The same can be applied to earning achievements It's not uncommon for people to improve Experience success and then not feel the need to push themselves any further which can melt into them being so absorbed in their accomplishments That they attribute it to their self-worth becoming arrogant and a sociopath the douchebag Jaden This is getting confusing. Are you supposed to be proud of ourselves or not? ο½’(οΎ<οΎ)οΎ?? No, yes, be proud of yourself, but don't get too caught up and and it's okay. Oh All this stuff gets so tricky and I swear we're all just destined to get hit by a meteor and perish Yes You should be proud of your achievements and improvements but it's dangerous to link them or anything to your self-worth or Personality because that's how you either think you're as worthless as a speck of dust or brainwash yourself into thinking you're the reincarnation of God (cough x3) Β―\_(γ)_/Β― Just don't let your success slash failure meter affect your personal behavior meter and it'll be fine I've asked a bunch of my friends on their opinion on what to do in situations when you've gone off the deep end and think You're all that and about your success chips and we all agreed It just comes down to self-awareness When you're surrounded in a mess of your own success and so high up on a horse that you can't hear the echoes of reality YOU SUCK The only person that can make a difference is your own reality check and desires to change There's also a tendency for successful people to be surrounded by. Yes men and people who will always agree with everything Isn't that right? Yeah, totally totally.You're So smart. God she's always right. so it can be really difficult to get that window of clarity where you can actually see the Consequences of who you've become and don't get me started on how seeing criticism gets I think you could move the eyes down more there a bit- SMACC YOU"RE JUST A HATER! AND I DON"T NEED (dab) YOU (dab) IN MY (dab)LIFE!1!1! there are different methods to improvement, too You can be actively seeking to learn more and mindfully decipher what you need to do to grow or you can just do your thing And over time keep on perfecting your skill. There's a lot that goes into self-improvement It's a whole balancing act of understanding what you want and not taking things personally and staying humble and not getting hit by meteors But believe it or not with a lot of time and figuring yourself out It's very manageable and can become one of the strongest tools You can use to become a really balanced awesome humble. Incredible super cool person like me (that's TOTALLY humble) (oof) Hey, thanks for being here the end of the video. I mean not alive Well, like it's good that you're alive, but I'm not particularly. Thanking you for that But good job. Anyway, hope you liked the video. We put a lot of effort into it. You might have noticed I've been experimenting with writing some more concept based videos lately instead of just silly little Whatever scripts and that's just me wanting to add more structure and meaning to videos It's totally fine to have silly videos and stuff and I'm not gonna stop them But I've been wanting to try out being able to talk about things I think are interesting and important but challenge myself to make them Entertaining as well and not like heavy or anything It's been really fun and I enjoy making videos more than I ever have which I think is great I don't want to turn into a channel that just talks about bettering yourself and all that stuff though. Don't worry That's not the direction. I want to go. I just want to be able to talk about anything The next video is gonna be more story based again [heavy applause] woo
Yoinks.
