So, hey, and welcome back to the Mindset and Growth Project, and today...
¶ The Importance of Family and Chosen Friends
I'm just going to kind of go on a little tangent about whatever I can think of. And the first thing I can really think of right now is family. That's the first thing that's just been coming to my mind right now is family. Now, what is the importance of family? Well, they're the people who help bring you up. They're the people who help shape who you are. They help influence you.
They set you on some paths. They gave you some interests. They showed you some things in life. They taught you. They've shown you love. Some less than others. Some are less unfortunate with their family situation. they get to miss out on this gift that family really is. And while that can suck, there still is this other... Family you're gonna have these other your friends see I was raised to have the mindset that Friends are the family you choose though. They're not blood
They still will be there in the end. Now, I'm not saying get your big group of 20 friends. The ones y'all can hang out with and have a good time. But those aren't the friends I'm talking about. I'm talking about the friends. that you can be yourself with. The ones where if you're feeling like crap and you need to break down, you can cry and have their shoulder to lean on.
The ones where you know if you're in trouble, you can count on them. The ones that are dependable. The ones that are the blessings in your life. Those are your family. Those are your friends. And you're going to treat them the same way they're treating you because you love them, right? Because they love you. And that's the gift that family is. They're the ones that you can count on no matter what. You have your breakdowns. You're human.
And they're the people who understand that you're human and you're going to have these breakdowns. And they're going to understand you for who you are. They're going to accept you for who you are. And this can all correlate back to the power trio I discussed.
The peace, love, and acceptance. The people you can find this peace, love, and acceptance with. These are going to be the people that you love. You're going to love them for who they are. And you're going to accept them for who they are. Because they're going to accept you. And it's just going to be this whole positive energy just flowing through you guys because you guys are family at the end of the day. And another topic I kind of just had come to my mind.
¶ Cultivating a Positive Mindset for Growth
is the positive mindset, what it can do for you. See, there is a common theme throughout every sort of, you know... center of belief. Well, not every sort. Science, it's not as strongly followed in science, but it's still looked upon. And that's the power of consciousness. a.k.a. the law of attraction. That's the term. A lot of people who I've seen who are spiritual, those are the terms I've seen them see. But, you know, it's followed by many names.
And you even see it in spiritual practices, like in Christianity, there's praying. Now see, this is a form of manifestation that people kind of glance upon just because... They don't like it's not that they don't like I have seen the community I've been a part of the community and this is based off of what I've seen This is by
No means every Christian ever. This is just my experience I've had with them. And they kind of just, the people I've met, they kind of glanced past the term manifestation just because it doesn't... correlate to what they believe but the thing is praying is a form of manifestation you're asking a higher form of conscious for some guidance for your own growth and that's what
That's what manifestation is. It's asking for a positive growth and guidance for your own growth from your higher self-conscious, you know? That's really what it is. In order for you to grow from this, you're going to need to have a positive mindset because you want to grow. Growth is a positive thing. You're going to need to keep this positive mindset.
And life's going to test that positive mindset of yours that you so claim to have. The ways it's going to do that, though, is by beating you down, pushing you down. It's not going to hurt. It's not trying to break you. It's not trying to... cause you you know to do all these terrible things it's trying to teach you that you're strong and you can do it that's what life is trying to do it's trying to teach you to endure to have grit
To be determined. To have the self-discipline. To be a good and well just rounded strong individual. It's trying to teach you to become a leader. And people look past that. They look past the growth. And they just look at it as life sucks. And they just get this negative, closed, sit-in-the-corner, wallflower mindset that life sucks. It's dull.
There's no good to it. You know? And they get in this cloud of despair and it makes them feel so distraught and gives them this overwhelming feeling of melancholy that they just feel abandoned.
¶ The True Essence of the Law of Attraction
And it's just because of this negative mindset. They're attracting the negative mindset. And that's what the law of attraction is. The law of attraction is you become your thoughts. And it's not like the... I want a Ferrari. I want a million dollars. It's not the specifics. That's just out of your prayer want. It's not something you need. You're going to ask life. I need guidance. I need something to help me grow.
What is gonna get me through this rough time? What do I need to learn to get out of this rough time? What do I need to do to grow? See, these are the things you need to ask yourself and ask life. And these are the things that are going to help you grow. And this all can just be led back to a positive mindset. Now... This is my own little side bit, okay? But I have made an email for this podcast, and the email is thempgproject at gmail.com.

And if you'd like to hear a second opinion on it from... An open-minded individual. And I say that with pride. Not in any sort of egotistical way. I'm just trying to be here to help. And that's all I got to say. I hope you guys have a wonderful night. Just take it easy. Goodbye.
