Shalom and welcome to practical
spirituality here at Asia tour in the
old city of jerusalem overlooking the
Temple Mount and please go online to yom
tov media club.com yom tov media club
come and help us get the word out by
joining the club relationships are you
know the number one subject of every you
know inquiry people want to know about
the relationship side you know what
probably the best way for me to explain
that is I think we all know deep down
the following statement that your life
is only as good as your relationships
think about that one your life is only
as good as your relationships true or
not true you can sixth you could succeed
in all kinds of things and if your
relationships aren't great so that's how
good your life is or you could do lousy
and all kinds of endeavors but have
amazing relationships how's your life
it's amazing amazing your lights only as
good as your relationships that's just a
fact of life and you want to invite
these people in over here people don't
realize it's a drop in class sometimes
tell me to drop in clutch hi ladies it's
a drop in class too so you know that two
seats here
I wasn't sure who was out there so what
you accused to flip over that sitter
please just so they're the principles
your life is only as good as your
relationships right
and that's a really important thing to
get because because once you realize
that you can reorganize yourself towards
great relationships but of course great
relationships mystified people in a
major way it's hard to have great
relationships with people and there's
various reasons why one of them I'm not
gonna go into right now but we we went
into it a few months ago it's called the
misery comfort zone and we all have this
zone called the misery comfort zone to
define it it's the amount of misery
you're comfortable with and anything
that threatens to make you happier you
will sabotage you got that Shay say it
again Shay sitting in for the rest of
you misery comfort zone is the amount of
misery that you're comfortable with in
anything that threatens to make you
happier you will sabotage so we all have
a misery comfort zone and instance
relationships are great relationships
are what make our lives great so we'll
sabotage those relationships and and
then people get mystified by
relationships now you don't have to look
any further than the Cibola to teach you
the secret to make sure your
relationships are working properly and
the way we do that is just simply
focusing on this attribute which is the
theme of this week right now we're in a
seven-week hell called sphere so over
the counting of the omer and each week
has a theme to it and this week is the
theme called t Ferriss or to ferret you
pronounced your table
so it's called to Ferris and to Ferris
doesn't have a definition in in English
there's no term for it in English buddy
but it's so just let it be what it is
everyone say the word to Ferris together
one two three okay and it's really one
of the reasons why it doesn't really
have a meaning is it's something you get
is more of a functional term hi table
for two
I think yeah maybe maybe you'd
consolidate and give this a couple of
table okay yeah it's something really
crazy happens we have to start again and
if you do that oh yeah start again if
you switch there you go yeah yeah you
never think in 2019 you have to tell
people to video side way but you do here
we go and to this day we still see news
stories where you know like serious news
stories like they could have spent that
foot they could have sold that footage
for like half a million dollars except
bozo didn't know not to film vertically
and so what do you get the most
important footage in the entire year and
like the most important breaking story
was filmed on a smartphone vertically
and so the news you know they try to
show it to you on the news and it's like
they have to blur out besides you know
and there's just like this chimney of
visual and that was the best they could
do because of the vertical filming but
they they really shouldn't it should say
on our cell phones when we get this
phone like do not video vertically and
and whether you really do is ruin it for
people who video vertically by having
their phone cuz it looks good when you
reply when you replay it on your own
smartphone looks funny
there'll be problems if you try to post
it someone told me that Instagram you
can post vertically videos for
vertically I heard that is that you said
that's now everyone's gonna be totally
confused cuz there you can do it
vertically but good luck sending it to
anyone else
anyone's computer okay here we go I'm
just to catch you two up no you're great
it's a drop in course you you dropped in
better than anybody so yeah what we were
saying is your life's only as good as
your relationships and nothing else
matters until your relationships are
really solid and then and then
everything else you want to do in life
go do it so what we just spoke about is
the key to relationships is the word -
Ferris - Ferris has no definition and
the reason why it has no definition is
because it's more of a function word it
actually is an active thing that you do
and when you do it right - Ferris is
what you get
yeah you got that so it's a
functionality thing it's something you
do - Ferris is a verb but it's also an
adjective so it's a verb and if you do
the actions right that d'affaires
demands - Ferris will be the adjective
to describe your life there no here's
how it works
what you've to get to T Ferris you have
to focus on the recipient of the
relationship which is wherever you're in
a relationship well your relationship a
lot of Q so you gonna have to be
focusing on a stranger if you're just
walking by because it's not nice not to
at least meet eyes with somebody it was
a stranger or it might be someone behind
a counter when you order a salad there's
gonna be a lot of they're the recipient
you may think you're the recipient cuz
you're getting a salad but while you're
interacting with them you're the
recipient of interaction and they're
your recipient of interaction so to be
into Ferris means to be very focused on
the recipient
now when you focus on the recipient you
it is good we got in we got green let's
see if this green works I like using
green for my arrows yes it does work the
recipient then goes up to here
and tells how much limitation was a
limit or restraint how much limit or
restraint is gonna be necessary for this
to be a good interaction is that clear
so so like for example you were saying
yesterday that in the southern states of
us a lot of restraints necessary for a
man meeting a woman because it is
improper for man to stretch out his hand
to a woman in the south rather she can
stretch out her hand to a man we're
talking about just regular people
a woman can stretch out her hand I've
seen I've actually it's funny I'm not
from the South but I have been in social
events where a guy is really kind of
grabby four hands and he walks up to
nice-looking women you know like women
he'd really like to talk to this event
and he just puts out his hand like hi
I'm so-and-so and the woman's just like
like that's a little too much which is
really strange but the but I've but the
woman in the south is loud in southern
states the US is allowed to put out her
hand so what are we finding out that who
needs more restraint the man or the
woman man's gonna be more restraint and
woman needs less restraint but it may be
a really good idea for her not to be
signalling to him anything and therefore
to also be using the restraint until she
finds out who in the world this guy is
because what are you doing handing in
your hand to someone who's might be
dangerous for all you know how do you
know you can trust this guy you got to
really check out recipients and then you
know how much restraint that clears so
far what we're doing here so this like
ABCs and relationships but it literally
will lubricate all your relationships is
to simply look at the recipient and see
how much is necessary let's say for
example the recipient of my relationship
is my child
now should I be using limit and
restraint living restraint
well not too much I mean the father is
the the father and parenting is the son
and the mother is also the son and you
don't want to create like a solar
eclipse for your children so you know
berries drink too much but what if your
kid just tried to make cheese toast in
the VHS toaster did I just call it a VHS
toaster what if your kid tried to make
cheese toast in your VHS machine VHS
used to be these ways that we used to
watch videos when we're kids there's a
big giant tape yeah you probably never
heard of a cassette tape but it's like a
cassette tape on steroids you ever saw a
VHS tape it was like 20 years ago I
think they may be even more anyway but
it looks perfect for a little kid to
make cheese toast you know inside the
VHS movie player' but if he does it day
after day do you want to be having a
relationship when I say having a
relationship with the recipient what I'm
really saying here is how much love do
you want to be showing right now how
much active love do you want to be
showing right now or haven't you want to
restrain that well when the kids are
behaving you don't want to restrain it
much at all how about a spouse should a
husband should he limit his expression
of love to his wife yes or no what do
you think ladies know should a woman
ever restrain her love towards her
husband and then you see the double
standard is every woman has her she has
her love on a volume knob with her
husband not her real love not the
eternal love of like soulmates forever
stuff not that so I'm done how she how
she's interacting with the recipient
meaning how that love is coming to the
recipient for the there's a there's a
pretty heavy double standard here with
men and women with husbands and wives
and no one no man should come
it's just built this way that mutant men
are not allowed to do what's normal in
relationship this is what's normal is
you look at the recipient you then judge
how much limit or restraint you should
put on the love and then and then send
it send them that love that amount of
relationship it's a stranger it's not
give me a tongue you know might be a nod
or something like a bow you know if the
person serving your meal at a restaurant
you know there should be some level of
interaction going on here very little
but some and so that's how you stay in
to Ferris all the time now the double
standard here which we don't have to
focus on I know people love talking
about gender inequality and stuff but
it's super unequal when it comes to
marriage is that women are allowed to
play with the love use love like gotta
like a biscuit
you know doggie biscuit and whereas men
are men are never allowed to do that
like ever and if a man ever plays that
game ho ho you will be sorry and of
course he could like tell her like
yesterday you just totally held love
over my head over my head like a gun and
she's just like I don't even know what
you're talking about
it's like totally amnesia today anyway
but if any men are listening to me today
your job is not to be angry about that
it's it's the way of the world that's it
and in a smart man a smart man who plays
his cards right he's gonna use that as
feedback to how he interacts it's
feedback and it's important feedback and
and a smart man's not gonna dig in his
digging his heels on this he's going to
use the way his wife sins love his way
he's gonna use that as feedback how he's
doing it's fine women don't women can't
use their husband's love as feedback
because we either are you know full you
know no limit no restraint whatsoever or
they're gonna give it to us over the
head and is finding that balance giving
too much is never we just did we just
described how you do that mechanical
like what the actual mechanics are so
you got to read your recipient which
tells how much give or to use so that
love is going to last and that's and
then when you do that the state you go
into his culty Ferris it almost makes a
heart you know what if we make this
arrow what if we make this green arrow
more heart like that might come out
pretty nicely
how'd that come out
it's just is it becoming more heart like
anyway but that that's the goal now
what's interesting about this is this is
the balance of all of creation think
about your leg even your body right now
what's sustaining your body right now
and who's the recipient so and who's the
causer so God is causing existence into
existence so he's creating you right now
and there is limitation meaning you have
an edge or not you don't go on forever
you know you're at the end of your body
and then it's air next to you so that's
going on you're you're you have a
constant kind of read you're being
rejuvenated at all times then your
body's getting the constant rejuvenation
that's happening all the time you're in
the recipient of t ferret which is the
perfection of God creating you which is
quite amazing so it's going on all the
time a river rivers tend to stay in the
river channel that's to Ferris it's
flowing but it's limited by the banks
sometimes it overflows the Jordan
overflowed this year a little bit not a
ton and it generally sticks with the
sticks with the banks okay and keeps it
flowing flowing down and and in that
case the recipient just you know it's
the river itself is is the recipient of
God creating rivers and having a you
know God sold some of the creating it
we're also recipients okay any questions
at this point okay so now all we're
going to do is discuss when your either
your love or your limits have been
a lot of people have damaged flow this
is flowing ones love that's I said and
then the limitation of is that can also
get damaged so when people for example
when people aren't given proper borders
as kids they grew up in in a situation
where there was not the borders were not
maintained which can include a lot of
different things it could be emotional
it could be physical sexual it could be
any types of things but anytime that
borders were not properly we're not
properly honored for that person so
there can be different manifestations
that will take someone very far out of
to Ferris one of those manifestations
would be someone who who their misery
comfort zone which we brought up earlier
their misery comfort zone would be to
never eat they don't deserve to limit
things they are what would you call an
Hebert company called half guard there I
understand English what would you call
that
what's that f ker yeah maybe limitless
for our Fuhrer kisses Hefner would be
limitless
so that's someone who was not given the
proper was his limits were her limits
were not respected and therefore they
just live kind of limitlessly and this
can happen from also from like hippie
parents who didn't create proper borders
in the household and stuff meaning they
didn't do anything wrong they were just
non they weren't good at limitations you
know they're just - trippy hippie
parents who who didn't know how to limit
things properly and so the kid might not
have proper boundaries growing up
because there were no boundaries
sorry boundaries as an adult because
they weren't around but also the
opposite can happen is that someone's
boundaries were were not given to them
properly and they and what happened was
they put up strong boundaries that are
no longer appropriate for whom no longer
appropriate for the recipient whoever
that was sitting in today's so if you
ever noticed that someone's kind of cold
guys ever noticed certain people are
colder than the other side so those cold
people and you probably don't like them
very much and you might even have a
whole narrative you've created that like
why don't they like me but it could be
they don't even know who you are really
and they never even noticed you because
their boundaries are so high that they
never saw you even though they should
have and they might live in your
building or it might be someone you've
bought a product from like you know day
after day and but there's certain people
are a little cold and those cold people
are have left the world of to Ferris
there be limits and they're just never
gonna get hurt by anybody st. Claire so
so yeah so
when it comes to our own healing when
we're not healed meaning when the limits
get mixed up so then we wind up not
flowing properly towards recipients and
we can also we lose our intuition for
the recipient like we're the recipients
really asked we don't know how to act
and there's actually a disease called
it's a mental illness on the autism
spectrum
Asperger's as we're good examples of
people who don't they're there to Ferris
is just like like they can't get into to
Ferris because they don't know how to
deal with the recipient properly they
don't recognize body language very well
here um herbal language they don't
really get the meaning even when you're
straight out with them they can miss it
so that that can be an issue and that's
well that's why it's one of the number
one that and like what's the other one
to BPD fine maybe it is borderline
personality disorder those two are like
the hardest in marriage virus Amer
people can succeed in marriage with with
Asperger's or with it one of them has
Asperger's or one of them has borderline
personality but the but those are the
biggest challenging ones and so people
have to people have to speak you know to
rabbinic authorities and find out if
that's something they're gonna pursue or
not if they're in that situation anyway
but that's it that's the the Asperger's
with someone who doesn't they just don't
have intuition at all about the
recipient okay very good
any questions at this point
okay yeah so they're limitless they give
and they given they give ya how are they
correct it by not giving and giving and
giving they have to mellow out and do it
right they have to be really conscious
of themselves and catch them right and
they have to introspect see what where
it's all coming from questions any other
questions on this subject okay great so
the only other thing we're gonna do is
because this is the week our entire week
is to be spent figuring this out ladies
and gentlemen
meaning this is the week that you get
this move so for example yesterday was s
it should be to Ferris so what you
should have been doing yesterday and me
too is we should have been fine figuring
out who we've been holding out on me
we've been holding back too much and we
were supposed to yesterday we were
supposed to make phone calls and emails
and I was actually I was a good boy I
was in touch with people that I've been
out of to Ferris with and so I sent a
few whatsapp's here and there just hello
you know nothing big cuz I'm not asking
to be best friends but I did it I've
been inappropriately out of touch with
certain people and so I I did shoot a
few messages towards various people yes
that was yesterday today is who have you
been overly restraining with or underly
restraining with because today is the
second day of the seven days of - Ferris
and so the second day this is one this
is
- and this is week three so we did a
whole week on this we did a whole week
on this and now we're on a whole week of
to Ferriss and so our job today is to
figure out where have we been overly
limited or underly limited in react in
our interactions with with the
recipients so you just want to look at
that where it's been where you've been
out of - Ferriss with certain people
clear good okay yeah yeah cuz the other
person has their issues and so I need
more specific so like I can make
something up that they're so so that
would today would be a good day to talk
to them about rules of interactions
standards complaints even parents need
rules sometimes you know like certain
parents even parents I mean you you have
to set up compliance rules sometimes for
parents is sad if it gets to that but
but it there's many cases that's the
that's what has to happen and it has to
come with has come with consequence you
know so so like I've I've had people say
like this is these are the rules you
break the rules we're not in touch for a
week and then of course they inevitably
break the rules because they can't help
themselves because they're not really
working on themselves and then you don't
answer your phone calls for a week and
maybe next week they'll do better and
eventually you got someone who behaves
themselves so in the meeting people have
to do this with their parents and that's
like you can't ask for a worse example
of or there's many words but it's pretty
bad example of honoring your parents but
you know you got to speak to our local
rabbi but it could be parents you know
have need this kind of treatment to get
them balanced and especially to do it
while you're young cuz once you get
married parents can weigh overstep for
themselves in their relationship with
you and when you're single you think oh
it's a big deal I'm single I like
letting let it go you know I'll deal
with it when I'm married know your
spouse will be dealing with it when
you're married you're you'd nip it in
the NIP it in the bud now so that
hopefully when you get married you don't
have to hide your parents from this
person if you have a parent who's
dysfunctional in this kind of stuff
yeah lot of there was that you said that
twice and then both were different
pronouns for different things so I lost
you punishing your parents for
non-compliance you have to hit them
where it counts it could be that
wouldn't bother a parent it could be
some else would bother them you have to
figure out what bothers them the reason
I brought up that example was because
all this parent wanted was to be in
touch that was their goal the parents
goal was to be in touch problem is the
parent didn't have proper limitation and
interaction and so that the daughter
said listen think here's the rules keep
him or lose it you know lose the contact
she helps she was holding the contact
over over her father's head
he had rules another a rule she had was
he's not allowed to find out where she
lives by the way I'm the one who
convinced her after 10 years to send her
first text message to the father 10
years she's like why should I do that
I'm like you'll see just do it you'll
understand and so she did it made rules
one of his rules was he's not allowed to
try to figure out where she lives if she
finds out he figure out tried to figure
out where she lives it's a month a month
of no God and he did it he driving you
tried to figure out where he lives
you got a month off mum punishment
anyway but she sent her first text and
the rule was they're not gonna talk but
they're gonna text once a week so she
got her first text back and then I got
the strangest what this change is
whatsapp message sorry I say what's
happening if you're from California and
you still haven't figured out that
that's the best motive communication the
I don't know if you guys know this about
Californians but they've missed whatsapp
completely entirely the best you can
hope for for them is they'll have like a
child who moves overseas and then
they'll finally realize what saps the
best form of communication and then and
then maybe they'll start looking at your
messages
otherwise it's naive to ever what's a
fat person from LA for example and think
they're gonna see that message the by
the way I know what happened to them
what happened to people from LA is LA
people were very into social media and
then platform a foot platform hit what's
that pit so there's like forget it and
like I'm out you know like oh at best
all whatsapp our Facebook message at
best and then they and they totally
missed what's that
yeah and they literally like they there
they banned themselves from this
incredible platform am I starting to
rant a little bit I'll finish ranting
quickly her a team that don't have
whatsapp make me crazy
that's crazy because there are people
who I'm up to really help and they
really you know and I'm helping people
who need my help 1/100
of this game but they're getting all
kinds of help because of what's happened
I mean people really they need me but
not like he needs me for she needs it
but because they don't know what's that
they're just not getting out now what
are we supposed to do about that and can
rabbis make exceptions for people who
are in serious trouble you know to have
ability to receive what sex and can they
can they make smartphones that only have
one say like no other a lot of these
people are trying to keep their little
their visuals kosher like they're trying
not to see things nuts Nia's not you
know you know they don't want to see
something inappropriate but it means
that they don't get to message properly
if the world do they make smartphones
where you can only have whatsapp
they could call me at 200 bucks an hour
or they can or they can send me a
one-minute message and I will work back
and forth with them every time I get a
little chance and I'm fortunate a lot of
people spend a lot of money on those
phone calls with me that well I hoped
for free another 50 people during that
week
this person was down a grand my name is
Mike and they I didn't help him any
differently than anyone what's that
think god they had the money to afford
it okay now I'm ranting I'm done
no more ranting the but we're I was just
sending something goin man I know that's
what was I just today we have to really
look at how we're restraining or either
under or over restraining ourselves and
religion okay so let's work on that
together everyone grab a partner if
you're watching this live your jobs just
to do a little personal work and I'd
like everyone to take a moment and think
about one person in their life where
they're either under or over limiting
how they're interacting with that person
and you want to just you want to sit
with him over there and you just turn
your chair around okay and maybe you'll
do you'll do you maybe turn your chair
around your work with those two guys
behind you okay okay everyone's got
partners okay great
so what we're gonna do is just take a
minute or two everyone just again the
live Watchers you're just gonna think
about people in your life and we're
gonna talk about one important
relationship where you're out of t
Ferriss specifically because you're
either got the thing over squelch
meeting over limited or you're just
under limited and
and you're you're opening yourself up in
such a way to that person that you just
wind up avoiding them it's like so this
person's like constantly frustrated cuz
you can't be near them because you don't
know how to set up the you don't know
how to set up the rules of communication
there's rules that need setting up okay
let's go so
I hope you're doing your own work if
you're not that type of type of person
so I'll share with you place in my life
that I could fix trying to think of
something not too personally considering
this a live feed here
yeah I won't give any details but there
is one person in my life is he's going
very strong a limit and I'm
I'm letting me that hurt in such a way
that I'm limiting back I'm like fighting
back with living back and now if I
weren't to be limiting back
if I weren't to limit back then I would
be opening myself to a sense of
rejection because this person for sure
would not be forthcoming if I were
meeting this person's on a campaign to
not connect so but I'm kind of doing it
back so what if I just stopped doing it
back and just when treated him as if he
was being normal and I will interact
with him as if he's normal and one day
he'll come around that's what I'm doing
I'm putting you all on hold for a minute
while I cinema what's okay I just watch
septum how are you you should know
that's big
I'll probably get back what do you care
all right another 30 seconds okay
wrapping it up okay anyone here willing
to share anyone wearing this shirt okay
we got one chair over there and what
else willing to share two chairs three
shares okay great
of you three any of you willing to share
and make this live feed ten times more
interesting because I get my main
feedback I get is can't you just show
the people instead of you like we're
gonna see the people I used to get cut
like they used to say like I get
messages saying show us the people so is
the people like now they know they're
viewing so so that was that I got three
of you willing to share I just one node
you might be enough and Facebook
collection yes fine you don't mind don't
care okay excellent excellent okay great
so um we're gonna start with you because
you raised your hand first I might speak
into it a little bit just so they hear
you better
you don't have to said give names my oh
really you mind if because it's just
extremely yeah we're not going you know
who that and I'll try to protect the sim
and the seminary girls from being filmed
best thank you because they're all
ditching they're ditching Sam no you're
going to share with us somewhere where
your limit or respect or restraining too
much or not enough okay in a
relationship so yeah so I am there's a
relationship I feel like I'm restraining
myself in the relationship okay so it's
a family member and I think this person
is when you're engaged in a conversation
I feel like there's people that sort of
take energy there's people that give
energy and in this particular case I
feel like they're the drain mm-hm so you
know and they're not as inquisitive
about my side I'm it's obvious or her
and you know and and they're pretty they
can be pretty negative and pretty
cynical and you know I sort of choose to
be around people that are positive like
but when his family are you're stuck in
a mill org and they're not a bad person
at all and yeah so I struggle I have an
internal struggle with it because I want
to be closer and and feel better about
our conversations by I also don't want
to really volunteer voluntarily put
myself in a situation that I might then
I don't enjoy how would this person
react to you bringing it up really
probably like that it might balance
things out yeah whatever their feelings
yeah I'm hoarse but they probably notice
you're a little distant well they'll say
things like
things like that you know you're like
you're wired you know right let me tell
you exactly why each time you go so so
yeah that's that's that's it's like my I
want to want to be more interested but I
find myself being governor okay and so I
mean I hate to play therapist no but I I
would perhaps offer that when I'm with
people like that I call it you know
let's say her name is Glenda so I call
it the Glenda show and whenever I'm with
them I just really get into their show
yeah and and I'm generally with them a
limited time anyway because it's some
family event or whatever and I always
know it's gonna be their show when I'm
gonna talk to them and I really like the
show and it's kind of their show in
there and it's time to hear about the
show again and I really get in there and
listen to about the show and I'll even
be in touch with them to hear about the
show and even go out to lunch with them
which is insane because spend an entire
lunch hearing in the show on them to ask
you about your show you have other
friends and just your expectations are
here I call that the show yeah and you
know what I call parents who are trigger
people a lot and like they want to
really avoid their parents you know what
I called him
flipped extreme I call those kind of
parents I call them I called him Lou
loves you know Lou la vez
you know the cosmic vegetation that we
shake around so I call them lullo's cuz
because the parents like that you just
got a shake I mean you gotta mitzvah to
honor these parents where they happen to
be parents a really hard to honor so
there's those and Lou loves are really
good hard to get poked by too but your
job is not to get poked your jabs to
shake the lulav and so when you got to
be in those situations so I have people
who it's the vehm show and I just go
watch their show and it's quite
entertaining especially after a cup of
alcohol of some sort of another and the
and then you know at family events
there's usually cocktails you know
everyone can loosen up a bit and then
and then and then when you have to honor
somebody you don't particularly want to
honor or it's not easy Don in them
you there your lulav because you got a
mitzvah and so just like you shake a
little love you have to shake your
parents around a little bit and and so
certain people need their parents to be
lulav other parents are easy to honor
and it's a pleasure to honor them but
some parents are Lou loops so there's
there's this guy show and then this girl
show and there's the Lou loves and you
know there's just reframing them okay
you mind being filmed for your let's
hear it for what's your name I'm Artie
it's here from Artie willing to be on on
live feed for yours for your share
[Music]
cannabis you know I'm trying to work on
myself so how can I limit myself in that
situation I came up with maybe hang out
with them during the day you know when
it's not really possible to go out
drinking they may smoke though what do
you think about I like it I like it yeah
yeah definitely don't drop your friends
but exactly with them whether or not
like fost when they're not influencing
you okay good okay excellent let's hear
it what's your name she she was here for
Shipman
okay Your Honor um I love the word
Hefner and I love my partner's
definition of Hefner which is limitless
because I'm quite the extreme to the
right I give and I give and I give and I
don't know how to set boundaries mm-hmm
I live in a small little town and I'm
the only doctor in the town whoa
so I take care of the kids and I'm gonna
open GYN but I take care of the kids and
I do the strep cultures and they come to
my house and I'm just giving and I'm
giving and I'm giving and I like doing
it but like I asked you before I need to
learn to have that balance and descent
restraints it's bringing up a lot of
emotion for you I don't think the giving
is what's causing all the emotion I
think there's something else there you
know I mean like you naturally give
that's all coming naturally there's
something else bringing the emotion
that's totally around the giving there's
something stir secondary because
primarily your giver and I think you
love it there's something else being
that's triggering you about it don't
work so do I give because I'm a giver or
do I give because it makes me feel good
do I give because I have the tools or do
I give to feel loved so it was a deep to
feel loved to feel loved yeah that's
very honest yeah yeah so um I'm working
on myself
know that I'm really perfect in my
imperfection mm-hmm and at the end of
the day I don't want to be spent so I
have to limit my giving
hmm and if I decide not to give and
somebody doesn't like it that's okay
okay so okay let's what's your first
thing
Robin Robin is here for our amazing I
mean that was like way beyond wait man I
think everyone's wildest expectations
for you to share like that and so openly
and all the way you know like talking
about not holding back you sure you're
not from California that wasn't a very
East Coast share yeah anyway thanks for
putting it all out there so you mind if
I come in a little bit so a couple of
things one is I really believe you are
that giver deep down and that that's
your strength and I think that's how you
got into medicine to begin with and I
think you love the fact that it's that
it your your practice has gone way
beyond your field of specialty I think
you like that and because you're really
a doctor you're a doctor you're not just
more you know one area you're all areas
and and in a small town so I think it's
really wonderful for you
I think what's bringing up a lot of the
feelings is is that it doesn't work I
mean it just doesn't work in the end at
the end of the day you wound up being
like the mashiac of your community for
health and did you don't necessarily
look in the mirror the end of the day
your life's a hell of a lot more
meaningful then had you not done that
all day so it's giving a great meaning
so I think you're filled with meaning
but the fact is that the way you have it
set up that all that giving is bringing
to love bringing the that I am loved or
lovable we should say it doesn't work in
the end and so and so the whole thing
kind of collapses that it becames a
house of cards so something so beautiful
is the way you would spend a day in your
town is in the end of house of cards
that folds afterwards
falls in on itself because because it
you're not convinced even with all that
giving in the end now what do we do when
we when our our mode of interaction is
is being fueled by negativity like that
what do we do when the doing speaking
that our life of doing is being fueled
by negative states of being
understanding doing and being I mean our
doings being fueled by negative states
of being tell me are do you think
they're do you think it's probably
pretty common that our doing is being
fueled by negative states of being what
do you guys think that's pretty common
it's it's like I would say in 99% of
people and 90% of the time if you were
to take a snapshot of them doing
something and you clicked on it and you
got to like get a drop-down menu like
you give us a four-step drop-down me and
why you might be being everyone's Savior
over there yeah to help everyone help in
health there the if we gave a drop-down
menu and let everyone guess what they
were doing I bet you what do you guys
think what are the chances that the
person's doing is covering up some state
of being some negative state of being
probably pretty high it's probably
pretty high probably most people are
doing that most of the time me as a
public speaker I didn't do very well in
school and I noticed smart if you don't
do well in school what are you likely
gonna think about yourself let's just
yeah why don't we say the not nice word
about when you're not very smart
stupid dumb yeah so so but I did notice
that people who speak arse are people
who are articulate are generally smart
sizin well I can't do smart but maybe I
could be articulate meaning what if I
just would be articulate instead of
smart and then I could let everyone
think I'm smart by just being very
eloquent in my speech
and that's how I'm a public speaker
today that's how I ultimately become
posts because that with the same
unlovable I have we share unlovable yeah
unlovable is definitely in me so
unlovable is under the category of our
fear of rejection and stupids under the
category of fear failure but somewhere
between the two of them I wound up being
a public speaker now did it work
was it ever enough what do you think did
it work does it work or does it just
fold at the end of the day we'll ask
Michael Jackson if it works asked Prince
if it works ask Amy Morehouse what ask
Amy Winehouse ask Amy Winehouse if it
works does it work no it never works the
only reason they're six feet under is
because some people's doing is just so
bombastic that they can't even sleep at
night so they have to take sleeping
pills and then they wake up all wiped
out but they have to show up for some
paparazzi thing and they got to look
their best and so there's pills for that
too but then you can't sleep at night
again and sell these pills for that then
you got to wake up and deal with your
day as a rock star and there's pills for
that how long does a body last 30 to 40
years yeah that's it's the original life
expectancy actually and one of their
popping pills you know back when people
only lived till they're 40 I don't think
so but the but that is the life
expectancy of rock stars but that's only
because they're there the body can't
take it anymore now their bodies can't
keep it up but we're the same we're the
same it's just that we don't know if
those levels of expectations upon us
where we can lose our entire reputation
in a minute by just having a bad
interview you know or a bad concert or a
bad photo shoot or a bad speech in a
political rally or something you know
your your whole career your whole
candidacy can go away literally blowing
one speech in zamora one-horse town but
it got filmed you know so that's why
these people can't live very you know
don't live very long
the way that but the key to all of this
is to never stop the thing you're great
at I'm not gonna quit public speaking
because I have a lot of good to do and
you're not gonna quit healing the
community because you have a lot of good
to do and and we do it quite naturally
and it's it's a real outgrowth of our
it's a real integrated experience of
like you know it's just a natural
progression of our essence outward so
that's something that's something where
we're never going to let go of what we
can do though is we can we can get in
touch with ourselves deep down and get
truthful about who we are
deep down meaning who we really are that
probably will need for most people
constant reminding me Neve deep down cuz
you think I think I got to where I got
to by being stupid no I'm definitely not
stupid that's the truth but I'm gonna
need reminding I have to remind myself
am i loveable in through this okay okay
you got a wife you got kids you know
like just that's enough you know you got
this incredible nuclear people that are
in your life that you love and love you
like who wouldn't want more tini
you know if you need reminding but do I
need to remind you yeah I need to remind
you
little feedback goes a long way because
the the depth at which we have
negativity inside our our self-talk is
such that it probably won't go away but
you can work on the fund the reminders
lots of post-its around the house about
how awesome you are you know you'd be
you got to remind yourself that and also
be close with people who are who are
more or less effusive about the truth
about you but then go do the things that
you got good at doing you know you got
good at doing something for all the
wrong reasons doesn't mean you can't do
it for all the right reasons
say you can do it so my sense for you
Robin my sense for you Robin is to not
give less I don't think you need to
limit that so much I think it also will
start to a self limit to more
appropriate levels of helping the people
in the community I think it would limit
itself the more that you set up your
kind of immediate life to be you know a
world of reminders of how special you
are
hey everyone Shalom Shalom that's not
forever
