SHOW DESCRIPTION

Imagine it’s a 6 AM on Christmas Day, you just woke up rubbing your eyes rushing down the stairs to gather around the Christmas tree to open your gifts. Man, isn’t that exciting! You have dozens of great gifts that you can’t wait to open. You eye on that one specific big box with your name on it hoping it’s that gaming console you have been wanting for months. Only to find out after you open it that it’s just shoes. You can feel that disappointment when you don’t get what you were expecting and in some cases be upset, but in the end, you do as your parents thought you and you say thank you and you move on, but do you really move on?

In some cases, people in these situations start resenting that other person. In this episode, Rohit and Kyle dig deeper into the meaning of gifting. They describe gifting as willing to let go or sacrifice for others. This would lead to not having expectations, because the more we expect from someone, more our standard get which they have to meet and if they don’t then you start having resentment towards them.

Then they lead into how do you know if it’s genuine or not? Gifts can be seen as 2 ways: a reflection of how you see other person based on what gift you give them and reflection of how you see other person seeing you when you receive that gift. Does your view or perception change based on what you get?

Have you wondered why we procrastinate? Of course, you do! You have been doing it your entire life! It sounds salty, but it’s the truth. Everyone procrastinates and there’s a part of it that it’s not your fault. It’s just human nature and in reality, we tend to procrastinate simple tasks in our day to day life which leads to a bigger question: where else are you breaking your commitment?

Why do we do it? Is it because of our purpose in life? It sounds insane, but if you think about it it’s really not, right? In today’s episode, Kyle and Rohit explain how every day we have little tasks that we do. We have goals and life tasks that we create for ourselves which we tend to try to achieve, but what if there weren’t any more tasks. What would you do then? Would you have a purpose in life?

One of the idea that we explored was whether procrastination is tied to external or internal commitment. You tend to keep other people commitment, but not yours. If you dream of traveling by yourself to a specific place, but you never do it. You keep procrastinating on finding places to visit or booking a flight, but at the same time if your best friend from high school is having a reunion 5 states away then you would do anything to make that.

So now as time passes by you keep delaying your lifelong dream of traveling to one the seven wonders of the world and next thing you know, it’s 20 years later and you are too old to go enjoy the way you had envisioned. In the end, you lose your lifelong dream, because you procrastinated too long. Not only you procrastinate on your lifelong dreams, you are now also fulfilling other people’s dreams. In today’s world, we are used to working for other people and not on our dreams so the longer we do that, the longer we make other people money and fulfill their dreams.

The only question we should ask ourselves is: why are you making your dreams less important and not getting you SHIT together?

SHOW DESCRIPTION

We often talk about important events in our life as a child and how parents protect us and help shape our future, but we also forget to do the same for ourselves when we are grown up. Why is that? Are these moments not important to us? I believe it’s because we get caught up in our day to day life that we don’t have control over it anymore. Then when we look back, we realized our mistakes and define the moments where we could have improved on ourselves.

Defining key moments in life is one of the crucial parts of life because these are the moments that make you who you are today. These are the moments in your life, it could be a split sec or hours long, that has defined you and shaped you into a human being that you are today. These are the moments that can either make or break your future. These are the moments that can turn your life around and get your shit together. So why are we afraid of questioning it more? What are the key moments in your life? What is the exact moment when you realized “Oh SHIT! Do I need to get my shit together? What made you realize that? Did someone influence you? Do you know your key moments of growth?

SHOW DESCRIPTION

One of my favorite moment of my life was when I was about 12 and my parents threw a birthday party for me at a local burger joint. Yes, I know it’s not the conventional place and it was so cold and pouring outside but I didn’t care a single bit because I was so stoked as I planned this and having all my friends to celebrate my birthday. Over the last few years, I have not wanted to celebrate myself and over the years I have built a program for myself where I stopped celebrating myself. After listening to Rohit, Kyle, and Glen, I looked back and realized that moment was the moment when I truly celebrated myself and not only that, but my family and my friends didn’t celebrate my birthday but celebrated me.

As I grew older, I got tangled with my day to day activities which is when I start losing the reason as to why I am here in the first place! I believe we all do that in one or another and we stop taking care of ourselves and we start taking other people for granted. It’s not your fault, it’s just how the society is and how we get mold as we grow up, but you have to remember that you are here because you are valued. You are valued to yourself, to your family, friends, and anyone who you have a physical and emotional connection with. You are here for a reason so why not celebrate yourself?

In today’s episode, GYST group shared how they celebrate themselves. Glen takes his annual bday trip; Rohit takes his annual Memorial Day solo trip; Kyle celebrates himself by treating himself with 100 pairs of shoes and eating dinner alone (don’t worry he doesn’t do that every night cause that would be just….well…sad).

So that just leaves it with one question – How do YOU celebrate yourself and Get Your Shit Together?
