Speaker 1: Yo, what's up Internet, fam Zayden Cruz. Here your weekly
Speaker 1: dose of reality straight to your earbuds. Let's get real
Speaker 1: for a sec ever, scroll through Insta and feel like
Speaker 1: everyone else has their life figured out. You know that
Speaker 1: living your best life vibe? Yeah, me too, And let
Speaker 1: me tell you it's exhausting. This constant pressure to be productive, successful,
Speaker 1: and constantly chasing something. It's leaving us burned out and lost.
Speaker 1: Today we're diving deep into finding your why, because Fam,
Speaker 1: a fulfilling life isn't just about likes and followers. It's
Speaker 1: about purpose. It's about knowing what lights you up and
Speaker 1: chasing that fire with everything you got. First things first,
Speaker 1: Why the heck is this even important for us, jen Zers.
Speaker 1: We're already juggling school, jobs, side hustles and trying to
Speaker 1: figure out our place in this crazy world. But trust me,
Speaker 1: finding your why isn't about adding another thing to your
Speaker 1: to do list. It's about clarity. Think of it like
Speaker 1: leveling up your life. Knowing your purpose gives you direction, motive,
Speaker 1: and a freaking epic story to tell. So here are
Speaker 1: five key takeaways to get you started on this journey. One.
Speaker 1: Stop chasing cloud and start chasing passions. You know that
Speaker 1: feeling when you lose track of time because you're so
Speaker 1: absorbed in something that's your passion speaking. It could be anything, painting, coding, writing,
Speaker 1: playing an instrument, heck, even organizing socks. We don't judge.
Speaker 1: Don't let societal pressures dictate what's cool or successful. Two.
Speaker 1: Embrace the power of failure. Yeah, I said it. Failure
Speaker 1: is not the enemy. It's your greatest teacher. Every stumble,
Speaker 1: every setback teaches you something valuable. Think of those cringe
Speaker 1: worthy moments as stepping stones on your path to greatness.
Speaker 1: Remember JK. Rowling getting rejected by twelve publishers before Harry
Speaker 1: Potter became a global phenomenon. It's a reminder that success
Speaker 1: rarely comes easy, and sometimes the most epic stories start
Speaker 1: with messy beginnings. Three. Surround yourself with inspiration. You're who
Speaker 1: you hang with. Fam Literally, feed your soul with content
Speaker 1: and people who uplift and inspire you. Follow creators who
Speaker 1: are crushing it in their fields. Read books that ignite
Speaker 1: your imagination, and spend time with people who believe in
Speaker 1: your dreams, even when you doubt them. Four. Don't be
Speaker 1: afraid to ask for help. Okay, so this one's a
Speaker 1: little tough, but hear me out. We all need guidance sometimes,
Speaker 1: and there's no shame in asking for help. Talk to mentors,
Speaker 1: reach out to people who inspire you, or even consider therapy.
Speaker 1: It takes courage to admit when you need support, but
Speaker 1: it's also the first step towards unlocking your full potential.
Speaker 1: Five Remember this is a marathon, not a sprint. Finding
Speaker 1: your purpose isn't a one time event. It's a continuous
Speaker 1: journey of self discovery. There will be moments of doubt, roadblocks,
Speaker 1: and unexpected turns, but don't give up. Keep exploring, keep learning,
Speaker 1: and keep chasing that fire within you. Now, let's talk
Speaker 1: about someone who embodies the power of finding your why.
Speaker 1: Billie Eilish. Remember when she was just a teen with
Speaker 1: a whispery of voice and a knack for dark pop.
Speaker 1: She didn't care about fitting in. She followed her own
Speaker 1: artistic vision, even when it meant defying industry norms. She
Speaker 1: found her voice, literally, embraced vulnerability, and connected with millions
Speaker 1: of people who felt seen and heard through her music.
Speaker 1: Now she's not just a Grammy winning artist, she's a
Speaker 1: cultural icon, using her platform to advocate for mental health,
Speaker 1: awareness and environmental issues. Billy didn't let anyone tell her
Speaker 1: what was possible. She carved her own path and inspired
Speaker 1: countless others to do the same. So fam here are
Speaker 1: my mic drop takeaways. First, stop playing small. You have
Speaker 1: unique talents, passions, and dreams. Second, embrace those failures, they're
Speaker 1: your secret weapon. And finally, remember finding your why is
Speaker 1: a journey, not a destination. Keep exploring, keep learning, and
Speaker 1: most importantly, keep chasing that fire within you. Now, go
