how to stop taking things personally when others say something offensive to

us we cannot completely agree with what people say all the time and today I'm

going to give you the exact reason why we start thinking this way why we take

things personally and how to break out of this dysfunctional pattern to develop

a healthy thing in pattern and function like a champion in all areas of your

life you get offended easily you take things to heart you do all of this

primarily because you have been brought up in a culture of honor your self-worth

is determined not by yourself but what the other people say who stand

around you that's important to consider because when we look at this how we feel

when other people tell us something that offends us we have two options we either

react or we respond when we react we take things personally we get into a

situation where hey this person has offended me now it's up to me to defend

my honor to react to the situation by somehow fighting by throwing words

cussing at this person by throwing punches looking to kill that person

that's how you react where the emotional experience has taken over how you think

and feel and how you behave in this situation and it causes more problems

because the emotional arousal stays for a longer period of time this is why you

get angry and frustrated when someone offends you they have damaged your honor

this concept has been explained once again making a special appearance in

this channel is the book outliers by Malcolm Gladwell which talks about the

important concept of coming from a culture of Honor

there are two families in the south of the u.s. in the 1800s they have a family

feud going on and how does this Family Feud start off one family member

accidentally shoots another family member of the other family now this

family member says hey this person has soiled my honor now it's up to me to

react now I want to pay him back for what pain he has caused me now this may

be emotional pain it's maybe physical pain this may be something that has

damaged the person the self worth how does that person see himself I attach my

value to that honor this is how I have been raised that I need to defend myself

by fighting back so what is this person do goes and kills another couple of

family members here and it starts off a chain reaction this person goes and

kills another family member here another three died here five died eight died 29

until the entire valley is a chaos the entire valley is completely destroyed

all the people are dead and for what one accidental shooting where this person

damaged the honor of his family and now I need to pay that person back do you

see how being raised in a culture of Honor can change how you react when

someone offends you when someone says something against you or friends you

throws a cuss how do you take it do you stand for it do you react to it do you

respond to it that's where the key lies because when you react in a situation

like this it causes problems it's not so much the fact that that person has

offended you it's the belief that I should not stand for something

when someone offends me I shouldn't stand for it that's where it's coming

from you've been taught how to do it you've

been taught to come from a place of honor

you cannot soil my honor and get away with it you take it personally because

you have been taught to do it you are supposed to believe that by reacting in

this fashion by taking it personally or by either fighting back cussing at that

person I am somehow defending my honor think about that someone who is let's

say an Indian that person see someone who has not stood up for the national

anthem what is the perception here the perception isn't that you have offended

me by not standing up it's not that that person has offended me by not standing

up for the national anthem and singing it's the belief that I am an Indian I am

an Indian and this person is disrespecting what it means to be Indian

there it is that's where the problem lies that's why I take it personally

because my belief system allows me to think in that fashion that somehow if

this person doesn't stand up if this person stands up somehow they are

fulfilling what I have been taught to believe while going up do you see where

it comes from here reacting I can either scream at that person hey

stand up stand up and show respect for the national anthem

the self-respect the self-worth of being an Indian that is justified by forcing

this person to stand up and follow a certain belief system that I choose to

believe now it's that person's choice whether they want to actually stand up

and pay respect to the national anthem but I choose to force my beliefs upon

that person by getting irked Cheers another way of looking at it

I can also respond now Here I am emotionally emotionally earth I am

emotionally responding within seconds of that person not showing me respect

seconds within that person not standing up for the national anthem in showing

the country the due respect that it deserves here on the other hand you

think from a rational point of view hey maybe that person isn't from this

country hey this person may be sick hey this person may actually not want to

stand up maybe the person respects the country in different ways

maybe the person has different values maybe the person doesn't want to stand

up for his or her personal reasons maybe the person is physically disabled

there may be n number of reasons why the person chooses to react the way they do

but here we have an opportunity to respond how do we do that

if someone offends us take it through this year pull it out through the other

how strongly do you attach your value to the words that other people say and how

strongly do you attach value to what you think of yourself

your belief system and how do you defend yourself when someone dis magis Your

Honor your value how do you react that's the critical factor because if you

choose to Rea react in a way that is causing problems

we know that through the ventilation fallacy I've already made a video on

this on how we choose to react when we get angry we choose to react a certain

way because we believe that is the right thing to do it will make us feel better

but the emotional arousal the anger the frustration that we experience it

carries over it spreads to other situation and just like how it happened

with that family feud it gets transferred to other people's anger and

hate is very strong and we can easily teach other people how to it so if

that's the belief system that you are coming from think about how you should

respond in that situation is the way that I am reacting healthy for me is

taking things personally making me feel any better

why did that person say what they did what does it mean

does it actually afflict my self-worth does it actually really matter to me as

much as I am placing importance on it right now think about it like that all

of these questions can actually make you understand this problem from a much

clearer perspective because when you respond in this manner by asking

questions you choose to not take things personally as much you try to understand

it from the other person's perspective and you also can do this you remember

that most of the people make such comments these are the people whom we

will likely never meet again they are beyond our inner circle the two groups

of people our family our friends the people whom we hang around with the most

these are our inner circle our lifelong companions now outside of this inner

circle the people who might do not give priority are the people who typically

make these comments the people who can offend us and that can emotionally hurt

us because they have damaged our self-worth what do you do you choose to

ignore it walk away from the situation if you can or walk up to the person

confront them don't throw words at them don't say something that you may regret

or may damage that person's self-worth instead just tell them that hey you are

crossing a certain boundary here I value myself highly I choose not to stand for

this statement that you made make it specific so that you tell the other

person that hey I am NOT going to stand for this particular thing that you do

defend the statement don't defend the person defend the statement don't defend

the person because when we generalize that's when problems get created respond

in such a manner where you pinpoint the exact situation where that person

offended you in some way and tell that person how you would like

them to behave and if they still do not behave in a different way

you still somehow take things personally walk away from the situation walk away

there is no heart there are only two options there either stand and defend

yourself definitely not reacting to the situation

but responding in a way that allows us to function in a healthy way anger

doesn't really help anger when controlled becomes a much healthier

emotion versus when it is totally out of control anger and aggression can

dominate our thinking process and can easily get transferred to how we think

and feel as well as how other people think think and feel when they are

around us so keep that in mind if you want to take things personally remember

what it is doing to you it's not good it's not healthy there are a multitude

of other ways that you can go about dealing with the process if you allow

yourself to choose what you want give yourself a choice remember that you have

an option of responding not reacting when you respond you allow yourself to

come from a rational school of thinking where you ask yourself questions you

come to a realization that hey I don't have to think this way there are much

better ways for me to think about myself it's not an easy process but it's a

habit you choose to develop ask yourself questions regularly and come to unknown

and understanding that hey I don't have to do this to myself there

is always a better way of reacting to the situation I am going to give myself

that choice that's what I want for myself and that is what I am going to do

if the strategy works out for you comment down below and tell me exactly

what you did and how it brought you out of this situation how did it make you

react in different circumstances and how are you going to go about using these

strategies I want to know comment down below if you found this video useful

INFJ: Learning Self Love and Acceptance - Duration: 8:08.

Now what the heck is this INFJ stuff you might well ask, I did a couple of months

ago because it was the first time that I took the Myers-Briggs test and found that I'm

an INFJ - 2% of the population are INFJs, and I keep bandying around this

term of INFJ as if it's evident to everybody what the heck that means but

it's an acronym that you get when you take the Myers-Briggs test. Myers-Briggs

is a personality test, there are sixteen possibilities that you

can be, and it's all based on your levels of intuition your levels of extrovert-ism

and introvert-ism and other stuff like that. You take a whole load of

questions about how do you feel in the crowded room and all that, and and then you get

your personality type, and for me it's actually been extremely enlightening and

I have my health coach to thank for this because he encouraged me as part of our

health coaching process to take the test because health is a holistic thing

and to be truly healthy happy and full of vibrancy

it is important to first of all know thyself. I think there was a pre-

Myers-Briggs me and a post Myers-Briggs me - the pre- one was constantly

apologising for being the way I am and trying to be somebody else because when

you're a rare personality type - 2% of the population is kind of rare, it is the

rarest one out of the sixteen personalities - you don't fit in. Because

everybody around you is a different personality type and even when you do

find other INFJs you're like 'oh you're a bit weird' - I think that's what's happened

to me in the past. Because we are.

There's a certain intensity to INFJs there's an

extremely strong need for alone time. We are highly sensitive people - too

sensitive - since I am of the less social types of personality types and most

other people in my entourage or in the world in general are more sociable than

me, I felt bad and wrong for needing to be on my own so much so I've sort of

forced myself into socialising and that's really really really exhausting.

I mean it's my own fault for trying to put a mask on me and

trying to be someone I'm not, but I've always found social occasions to be

highly frustrating, boring, disappointing, annoying, tiring, overstimulating and just gah.

But that is no reflection on the people that I was spending my time with.

It is 100% a reflection on me trying to be someone I wasn't and therefore having

wholly unsatisfactory social exchanges because of putting on a face and pretending

to be this person and actually I'm going 'oh get me out of here get me out here'.

Yeah so it's hard being an INFJ. I don't know if you're watching this,

perhaps you're an INFJ - and if you relate to what I'm saying then let me

know. Everybody's special let me e clear, I'm not just kind of like putting all the

INFJs into this special category and everybody else is the same, no we're all special,

there are so many different personality types,

everybody's got their quirks, but I think that INFJs do really need to learn

self-acceptance and self-knowledge and to realise that they don't need to be

ashamed that the don't particularly like social

encounters, or let's put that another way - they need to learn to be themselves

in social encounters because that's when the human

exchange becomes satisfactory and enriching because you show up as your

real self, your own idiosyncratic quirksome self. So if you're an INFJ too then I

encourage you to live your personality type and don't apologise for it and

certainly don't pretend to be someone that you're not because it's only going

to end in disaster. I am going to go into the tendency of INFJs to fall into addictive patterns

next time I talk about this because addiction is often a symptom of

deep-seated shame - toxic shame - that makes us think that we're inherently wrong. But

we're not inherently wrong as INFJs, we're just different and anyone else who has a

different personality who suffers from toxic shame - you're not wrong either,

nobody's wrong, nobody's right, we're all just a little bit different to each other and the

more that we can accept that and not try and mirror other people's behaviour

because we think that what's out there is more acceptable than who

we are because other people seem to have their s*** together much better than we do

that's certainly a trait to get rid of. Yay for being odd, yay for being unapologetic about the

person that we are - unless we're a serial killer in which case you might want to

reconsider. But if you're just an honest INFJ going about your business in an

extremely tortured and oversensitive way, just ride it - ride

it and find the tools that you need to regroup on a daily basis and wipe that

slate clean and protect your own energy.

Please share in the comments below the emoji - because we love emojis on Veggie Magnifique -

that you think best represents INFJ-dom. Maybe it's the monkey

doing this because sometimes as INFJs we don't dare express ourselves because

we think that everybody else has got it figured out and nobody wants to listen

to us - oh, pity party. No it's not that, it's not a pity party,

it's just being ill at ease with the very different perception that we might

have of things that we think is inherently wrong because it doesn't

reflect what other people are putting down. So yeah the monkey but you might

have other ideas. Alright so off I pop to drink my bucket of matcha and we will

see you next time on Veggie Magnifique. If you enjoy our content and you're ready

How to get a mortgage if you're self employed - Duration: 9:49.

In this video we look at how to qualify for a mortgage if you're self-employed

and what are the financial requirements to qualify for a mortgage, that's

starting right now.

Welcome to Homebuyer's School brought

to you by Brookfield Residential.

Hi everyone, welcome to another Homebuyer's School

video, a channel where you get the latest strategies tactics and tips from

home buying experts, and remember if this is your first time on this channel and

you want to get the latest strategies from the experts, hit the subscription button

below, hit the little notification bell so you don't miss anything. Today I'm

joined by Mujtaba Syed, manager mobile mortgage specialist with TD Canada Trust

and the question we're gonna answer today is how do you qualify for a

mortgage if you're self-employed?

Yeah that's a great question,

so most lenders are very similar when it comes to self-employed income or if you

are self-employed they want to see that you've been self-employed in the same

industry for at least three years and what they want to do is they want to see

somewhat of a consistency right so they're most likely going to use a two

year average of the income that you have reported from being self-employed and

and then there are some lenders they have ways where they could maybe gross

up that income understanding you're self-employed you have certain expenses

and then kind of see from there but there are other things as well that we

can do with self-employed, we can look at your financials we can take a look at

your taxes to see what you have kind of shown to pay a little bit less because

self-employed there is that benefit of being self-employed we can

control how much taxes you end up paying, but you definitely want to see what's

available. Now the insured-- there's an easier way to get approved to the

insured self where we have come to call a state income program through Genworth

where you can see if it's a little bit easier to try it that way, once again

it's a discussion to have with your lender and your specialist and

definitely interview your lender and your specialist to see if they're very

familiar when it comes up to self-employed policies because they

differ quite a bit and in if someone who's not very proficient in dealing

with self-employed people or self-employed borrowers they might not

know which policy to apply so once again ask them: Have you dealt with a lot of

self-employed? What do you-- how do you feel? Do you-- have you gotten

a lot of approvals for self-employed income? --and then kind of go

from there, but self-employed definitely there's-- just because you're

self-employed does not mean that the bank will not lend to you. They might ask

you for a little bit extra documentation to kind of see where your income is

coming from but at the end of the day if your lender is very proficient with

their policies with self-employed, they should be able to help you.

Well I know

you touched on financial requirements so maybe it isn't just for self-employed

but what are some of the financial requirements that you-- that need to

be met to qualify for mortgage?

Yeah great question Karl, so the financial requirements that

are needed by the lender is to see repay-ability right, when a

lender wants to lend you a mortgage they want to see that you can definitely

afford to pay that back. Banks are now in the business of lending money and trying

to recoup their assets or their homes, they want to make sure that you can pay

back what you borrowed and that's where the financial requirements come in for a

self-employed they want to see, well on paper how much are you showing on paper?

And on paper if you're not showing a significant amount maybe they can try to

find other ways to kind of prove your repay-ability for someone who's not

self-employed it's technically a lot easier because it's very cut and dry to

take a look at your income, if it's salary based they'll see how much salary

you're getting, they might take into account if you make any bonuses or if

you're getting some kind of share structure ownership or anything like

that. They might want to take all those into account and if you're not on

salary and you're working an hourly basis they might even want to see if

you're getting something like overtime, if you're working a lot to overtime, if

you have consistency over the overtime, they can take a look into that if you

work different shifts and you get shift differentials at a

higher rate of pay, they might want to take a look at that but for most banks

what they really like to do, like to see consistency they don't want to see

something over a two-year period to see does this make sense, is this consistent

with what we think and your bank is always trying to help you, definitely to

get it will qualify for mortgage until they're trying to look at a

lot of different options to see if you can qualify or not for sure so

definitely have a conversation with your lender when you're sitting down with

them, explain to them all the avenues that you think

you can make income like if you're working overtime bring that up if you

have shift differential, definitely bring that up if you're getting some

kind of allowance at work like a car allowance, or a phone allowance, or a

moving allowance, or etc. whatever it is, definitely bring that up so they can

actually see if they can actually add that to your income to help you qualify

for your mortgage.

Oh I didn't know that, that you could actually use your

overtime, your bonuses actually help you qualify. I thought it was just you know,

your set salary or your hourly wage.

Oh that's a great question, so a lot of

people unfortunately maybe don't realize that right, they do want to take a look

at it over time but you do want to take a look at it over the two years, like I

said they want to look at consistency so if you're consistently working over time

over a two-year time period they will take an average of the two years to see

does this make sense, same with bonuses if you're consistently

getting bonus over to your time period they want to take a look into that

because all time is an added benefit to you like you've worked hard for your over

time or you've worked hard to get a bonus, banks will definitely take a look

at that and actually use that towards your income qualifying capabilities.

And if you want to know more about how much you can get qualified for a mortgage, check

out our video above. I guess the last question I have is, does either for

self-employed or a salaried workers, how about low income or kind of bad credit,

how does that impact the ability to qualify?

Yeah another-- another great

question Karl, so low income unfortunately you're gonna have a harder

time with a repay-ability portion of what you're looking at borrowing so when

it comes down to having lower income there's just no other way around it right,

unfortunately you might want to look at maybe reducing your budget, maybe

find something that fits more into what you can qualify for so you can actually

have a comfortable payment. You can always look at getting a cosigner you

can look at doing these things but I always like to tell people is that

getting a cosigner might help you qualify for a higher mortgage but keep

in mind it's you at the end of the day that has to make that payment right so

if you're not comfortable making that payment and you feel like that budget is

just too much for you then maybe just kind of reduce it and then kind of see

in a couple years where you could move into something a little bit let's say,

smaller or cheaper and then you can actually build

up their savings and maybe you get a higher income in the future, you can

always upgrade later on right so don't ever, don't ever-- what we call just "money

pinch" to get into a home or become "mortgage poor", it's another term that we

like to talk about where most of your

budgeting is going towards your housing cost.

So, another thing that you brought up was poor credit. So poor credit

definitely impacts right so when it comes down to credit we kind of-- the

bank's look at that as character. We will look at to see if you have made a

promise to pay right, having a credit card is a promise to pay having a loan

or a line of credit is a promise to pay, same ways as a cell phone and if you're

late on your payments or you have a major payment you haven't really lived

up to your obligations or your promise so when banks are looking at lending

they aren't going to look at your credit to see do you keep your word, do

you-- are you on top of your payments because that could really impact if they

want to lend to you, maybe you won't stay on top of your payments so a lot of

great things but it doesn't mean that if you made a mistake in the past that it's

over, no banks will actually look into that if there is a certain scenario that

kind of makes sense and you explain to them it could be in a one-off situation,

they would a hundred percent consider that as well. Also if you have made some

mistakes in the past, now you worked hard and better at your credit or working to

better your credit, banks will also take a look at, they'll also give

you a second chance or a second review once your credit gets better so

it's just-- it's not-- the end of the day if you have some basics in the past it's

always trying to show the bank or the lender or the specialist that you are

working hard in making that right.

Last question in terms of self-employment though,

does it matter if you've set up a corporation or you've set it up your as

like, sort of your own business?

Yeah, good question. So there are definitely

benefits of both right, to see, but we would-- we would

definitely take a look at your employed "sole proprietor" as we call it

or being incorporated as what Karl had mentioned and then have different

requirements. It's very lengthy and detailed to go

into kind of right now but definitely if you're one of those two scenarios,

definitely speak to your lender and they can explain to advise you which policy

is best based on that for you, which

self-employed policy is gonna help you get qualified and definitely talking

about something we call add backs or business financials and stuff. Have that

conversation with them and they can advise you exactly which route to take

for the most easiest approval.

Perfect. The question I have for you is, are you

self-employed and if you are, did you run into any issues

regarding getting approved for a mortgage? Let us know in the comment

How To Build Confidence And Self-Esteem For Yourself - Duration: 3:03.

Among the endless social media jungle that we live in, it has become increasingly easy

to get lost in a sea of comparisons as we are bombarded by ads subtly telling us all

the ways that we are just not "good enough".

Now one of the damages that can occur as we ingest so much information through social

media is that it can really take a toll on our self-esteem, our own confidence in our

decisions and overall belief in ourself.

How do you fight back?

How do you stand on your own two feet and build real, bulletproof, powerful confidence

in your own life?

Here are three powerful ways that I have found to be the most effective and powerful

building blocks to start to increase your sense of self-esteem and confidence right

now.

Number one, prime yourself first thing in the morning upon waking.

Before you check your phone, laptop, or any electronic device, give yourself at least

10 minutes to just check in with yourself.

Write down a few things you're grateful for, some things you're proud of, down to the simplest

things.

"I'm proud of myself for holding that door for the old lady yesterday.

I'm grateful for that 10 second conversation with that dude on the bus.

I'm grateful for my breath.

I'm grateful for my health."

Anything you can think of.

What this does is it invites you to immediately remind your brain to be on the lookout for

anything to appreciate, both internally and externally, from the second you wake up.

Over time, this builds an increasingly skilled ability to take in and assess the external

world with more discernment so you can start to filter out the nonsense and only allow

in what is congruent with yourself.

In turn, you become more in control and conscious of your thoughts, which inherently leads to

an enhanced feeling of confidence and self-esteem.

Number two, activate your body and mind every day.

This really goes in tandem with number one.

The amount of ways that we are willing to take care of ourselves is directly proportional

to the amount that we can increase our confidence and overall sense of self-esteem.

Whether that looks like five or 10 minutes of a good book or going for a quick walk or

even five pushups in the morning, all of these things will immediately make you feel better.

Three, get to know your values.

This is everything.

If you take one thing from this video, please let it be this.

When we take the time to discover a deeper understanding of our core values in regards

to life, career, relationships, health, we're building a stronger and stronger basis for

ourselves of what we stand for.

Every action we take is in service of fulfilling an unfulfilled value, even if it's a value

that's operating at a subconscious level.

The more we can get in tune with what those values are, the more consciously we can take

control of every one of our actions, and in turn, that builds more faith and confidence

and self-esteem in ourselves.

If you want to start building real, bulletproof, internal confidence right now, start taking

action on these three steps, and let me know what happens.

Feel free to leave me a message, hit the like button, subscribe.

If you know anybody that could benefit from some support on this topic, please share the

video.

Let's pass along the good vibes.

My name is Stevie Chow, and I'm here to help you discover clarity and confidence in carving

out your own lane.

Much love.

-Genuinely what I realized while making the album is that,

I don't listen to one genre.

I'm, like, listening to, you know --

-I guess so. -Somebody like Mayer

in the morning, and I'm listening to Top 40 radio

in the afternoon, and Kanye at night.

And it's, like, all these different artists.

And they're kind of all coming together.

An artist really is just a culmination

of all of the other artists they listen to.

-Yeah. That's interesting.

-And I was like, "There's nothing wrong

with making an album that is colorful."

I think that's what people want nowadays.

I hope that's what they want. -Yeah, of course.

It was like -- [ Cheers and applause ]

Yeah, I was thinking about that, 'cause you're like,

"Oh, what's your favorite type of music?"

It used to be, you know, when I -- when I was your age...

-Yeah. [ Laughter ]

-...I used to be like, "Oh, I like rock music."

-Don't get me started on the age again.

-Or I like -- No, I'm sorry.

-Yeah, you would say, "I like rock music," yeah.

-"I like this music."

-Now you say, "I love..." -Music.

-Yeah, "I love music. I love this artist

and this artist," and they're on

two different sides of the world, which is so cool.

-Tell me about this weekend. Are you excited for it?

Global Citizen? -Oh, dude, I'm --

I knew Global Citizen was an incredible festival,

but it wasn't until I actually met the founder --

And he kind of walked me through everything that they do.

I'm thrilled. -What do they do?

-Like, it's such a broad spectrum of incredible things.

But, basically, this weekend, I'm gonna be --

and from now on -- I'm gonna be focusing on education.

And, simply, the main goal is to be able to provide education

for children, especially girls, across the entire world.

[ Cheers and applause ]

-Good for you. -Yeah, provide education

for them for up to 12 years, free, and quality education.

And it's really easy to get involved.

Literally, I just want to say this to everybody listening.

Like, download the Global Citizen app.

It's so easy. They'll tell you everything you have to do.

And it's gonna be a really fun show.

-Yeah. It's gonna be a giant show.

-It's you, I know Cardi B. -Cardi B's gonna be there.

-Janet Jackson. -Janet Jackson.

The Weeknd. -The Weeknd.

And, of course, Shawn Mendes will be there.

[ Cheers and applause ]

That's -- That's what we love.

-That's --

-Do you have a favorite track on this guy?

-Um, I love "Lost in Japan."

It's one of my favorite ones, yeah.

-That's the jam. -That's the jam.

-That's what you're doing tonight?

-That's the jam. -Oh, it's the jam.

I do, I love it. I love all the tracks in there.

And we love having you here, buddy.

-Thank you, man. Thank you.

-Shawn Mendes, right here. This is the real deal.

[ Cheers and applause ]

[화양연화 더노트 SELF버전 해석] 윤기의 추가된 비밀과 결말!? BTS HYYH THE NOTES 방탄소년단 Answer 궁예 2탄 Theory l 수다쟁이쭌 - Duration: 5:46.

Hi, my name is SUDA JJ

Today we will analyze the BTS [HYYH THE NOTES: SUGA] through three themes.

[LOVE YOURSELF Answer] When you buy an album, it contains a mini book.

That mini book is [HYYH THE NOTES SELF version].

Through the [HYYH THE NOTES] theory that I had done on my YouTube channel, you will know the content.

This time [HYYH THE NOTES: SELF version], I want to let you know about the added theory.

I will give a preliminary explanation for those who have not seen my theory yet. Many of the BTS content shares [BU Wolrd View].

[BU World View] is how Marvel's MCUs share a world view.

It is [HYYH THE NOTES] that the story that constitutes [BU world view] is written.

BTS music video can also be seen as a part of [HYYH THE NOTES].

To help you understand the SUGA, we will reinforce the SELF version on the existing timeline and look at the second theme together!

September 19, 16

Returning home, SUGA finds a fire in the house.

SUGA remembers that Mom is in the house, but he replies to those who are too surprised and embarrassed to ask, "Who is in the house?"

So SUGA thinks she has killed her mother.

So, SUGA's lighters are the cause of fire.

However, if a fire occurs with cigarettes and lighters that SUGA smokes, then he should not smoke anymore, and SUGA still smokes.

[LOVE YOURSELF] By the time he goes to the series, he is stripped of cigarettes and lighters.

What happened to this?

May 28, 19

"What is your dream," Jung-guk asks. SUGA said, "I do not dream. I'll just be someone. "

June 12, 19

High school student SUGA escapes with BTS members before the end of the school day.

V and J-hope point to the sign of the 'Flower Arboretum' and go there. SUGA sees Jimin afraid of seeing the sign.

So SUGA says it is time to go to the sea instead of the arboretum because of the weather.

June 15, 20

SUGA plays the piano with JUNG-GUK at the azit. When their teacher who opened the door hits JUNG-GUK's cheek, SUGA rebels against the teacher and protects him.

SUGA is attacked by his teacher instead of JUNG-GUK.

June 25, 20

SUGA, who rebelled against his teacher, will not go to school for ten days and will be expelled.

SUGA kept a half-burned key in a house that was ruined by a fire four years ago.

He throws the keyboard out of the window, which reminds him of his mother playing the piano.

SUGA tries hard to spend time with a father who has to meet time and discipline.

But he does not have the courage to run away.

SUGA now decides not to play the piano again.

April 7, 22

SUGA, who is drunk, goes to the musical instrument point, recalling the childhood nightmare along with the sound of the piano.

He finds JUNG-GUK sitting there in front of the piano.

SUGA thinks that they are not confident to be meaningful to someone.

April 11, 22

JUNG-GUK While he was thinking about suicide on this roof railing, SUGA called him.

SUGA gets in touch with J-hope, meets with JUNG-GUK and then goes to the container.

There, SUGA meets J-hope, V, and RM.

May 2, 22

At the RM's venue, JUNG-GUK dreams of rescuing SUGA when he fires and tries to commit suicide.

But that was not a dream.

SUGA is not understood by her father, so she burns the sheets to commit suicide, and JUNG-GUK rescues SUGA from the fire.

May 19, 22

SUGA comforts Jimin who does not have the courage to go to the flower arboretum at the bus stop, and goes there together.

May 25, 22

SUGA takes the lighter to the girl's junior in the studio, and receives candy and t-shirts.

June 8, 22

SUGA, who is looking for a cigarette and a lighter, realizes that she has been taken by a girl. He pulls out a cigarette hidden in the corner, checks a text message from a junior, breaks a cigarette, and laughs.

June 15, 22

SUGA who heard JUNG-GUK traffic accident news from Jimin goes to hospital where JUNG-GUK is lying. But he comes back out of the hospital.

SUGA, who is drunk, goes on her own way, saying, "Do not worry about your girlfriend catching her arm.

July 29, 22

SUGA remembers having abandoned her mother's piano keyboard when she was expelled.

After that, SUGA tries to give up the music and finds out that it will restart the music every time.

SUGA thinks he wants to play the piano and realizes that he is a cowardly coward, pretending to be strong.

SUGA decides not to run away and wants to complete his melody through the instrument.

Through SUGA's timeline theory, let's take a look at the third theme in the series [LOVE YOURSELF] to tell us what you want to say!

There are several timelines in [BU World View], not just one.

For example, in [THE NOTES] V, who killed his father in [I NEED U], appears to be willing to kill.

The reason is that JIN keeps trying various possibilities to minimize tragedy with TIME Leap.

SUGA has a traumas that lost her mother due to the fire, and a burning piano symbolizes her mother.

SUGA's first love is the piano and mother.

[LOVE YOURSELF] In the previous [BU Worldview], the first [Spring Day] child of Omela was SUGA, not Jung-guk.

So it is not his fault that SUGA's house and piano were burned, but JIN, who played Time leap, burnt down SUGA's house.

If JIN had to sacrifice one person to stop her tragedies, the first of six possibilities to sacrifice was 'SUGA Mother's Piano'.

The problem was not only the piano but also the mother of SUGA, who died in an accident, and SUGA, who knew nothing, became unhappy with his blame.

SUGA is also expelled to protect Jung-guk.

In [HYYH THE NOTES], the reason is that JIN has spied on the principal and informed the members of the BTS.

SUGA, who lost a lot, tries to kill himself by suicide.

Having learned all this, Jung-guk is pleased to accept his misfortune as a child of the second OMELAS who rescues SUGA.

For SUGA's happiness, Jung-guk could do anything.

After a Jung-guk traffic accident, JIN returns time and gives SUGA the chance to hit the piano again.

The love with SUGA's female junior who is symbolized as 'guitar' was FAKE LOVE made by JUNG-guk's sacrifice. So SUGA acknowledges the burning false world by breaking down the guitar and crashing.

However, [LOVE YOURSELF Answer] is released and SUGA's junior who left the guitar in the SELF version of 'HYYH THE NOTES' has left, but SUGA will sit in front of the piano again.

Every time a crucial moment, SUGA is confronted with honesty this time.

Growing up SUGA is through LOVE MYSELF, who loves herself.

In [BU Worldview], SUGA has gone through terrible things, abandoning her mother's piano keys, and attempting to break her own life.

But he comes back to the piano again.

And he wants to complete his own music.

He cheers for his happy music.

So far we have analyzed [HYYH THE NOTES: SUGA] together.

Next time, SUDA JJ will come up with better news.

Thank you!

Should You Self-Publish Your Book? - The Pros & Cons - Duration: 6:07.

- Hello everyone, my name is Mandi Lynn.

I'm the author of the fantasy novels Essence and I am Mercy

and thriller novel She's Not Here

and also the creator of AuthorTube Academy.

And we are four days away until the release of this book.

So how are we celebrating today?

Well we are gonna be talking about

the pros and cons to self publishing.

(uplifting music)

So hopefully you are watching this video

if you're trying to decide whether

you would like to traditionally publish

or if you would like to delve

into the world of self publishing.

So there are many pros and cons to self publishing

just like there are many pros and cons

to traditional publishing.

Today I have much experience with self publishing

and I also am friends with a few

traditionally published authors.

So I have kinda gotten the grip

on what is the good and the bad

and that is what we're gonna be talking about today.

So let's get the bad stuff out of the way

and start talking about the cons of self publishing.

So this one is pretty obvious,

but you have to pay for everything.

So without the support of a publisher

everything comes out of your paycheck.

So this means you are the one paying for the editor,

the cover designer and the marketing

and any book events that you may want to go to.

Now you can write off these expenses when it comes to taxes,

but it's still an expense

and you still gotta come up with the money.

Con number two is that the distribution is smaller.

So this can change from author to author

and also depending on who you use to distribute your books

if you only use CreateSpace you're a little more limited.

If you use IngramSpark you are a little more unlimited.

But it is harder to get your book into bookstores

when you are a self published author

although it is not completely impossible.

Con number three is that you get fewer sales.

So this again is not necessarily true,

it depends how you market your book

and how big your platform is.

If you have a large platform, you may be better off

than some traditionally published authors.

But if you have a small platform,

you are gonna make fewer sales.

But it all comes down to how much work

and effort you throw into it.

And the last con I'd like to talk about

might actually be the biggest con is that anyone can do it.

So that is also a pro, but the con to that

is just the fact that because anyone can do it

literally anyone can do it.

Which means sometimes the books

that are published aren't the best.

Now a lot of people seem to think

that self published authors,

their books just weren't good enough

for the traditionally published world

and while that is not necessarily true,

the bad self published books that are out there

kinda ruin the reputation for the good self published books.

I would like to consider my book a good self published book,

but I would be lying if I said

people haven't looked down at me because I'm self published.

I say if you hold yourself

like a traditionally published author,

if you present yourself like one

and you throw as much effort into it

and you make yourself look like one, you are fine.

So there is a whole flooded market

of bad self publishing book,

but in that market is also

the very good self published books

and that's what you want to be

and that's what you want to aim for.

So now that we've gotten the cons out of the way,

let's talk about the pros of self publishing.

Pro number one is my favorite one

and that is that you have complete control.

So this is the number one reason I am self published

because this is the first thing you lose

as a traditionally published author and that is control.

You don't get to choose the cover,

you may have a little bit of say,

but you probably won't have a lot of say.

You don't get to decide where the book is gonna be sold

or how much that book is gonna be sold for.

You don't get to decide what events you go to

or how many signings you have a year.

But when you're self published,

you get to decide all those things,

you can go to as many events as you want,

you can sell your book wherever you want,

you can set it for whatever price you want

as long as you're able to logically do it yourself,

as long as you have the budget and the means,

you can do whatever you want.

Pro number two is that you get to take all the credit

so this means if your book is wildly successful

you get to take all the credit

and you get to give yourself a big pat on the back.

Now that is not to say that when you're self published

you do it all alone,

if you ever look at the acknowledgements sections

of a self published book there are a lot of people involved

in the publication of a book.

But for the most part, it was all you,

or in this case me.

And pro number three might be the biggest pro

for some people is that you get a bigger chunk of the money.

So when you are self publishing

you're the only one who gets the royalties.

When you're traditionally published the royalties

kinda get split up between the whole team of people

that helped publish the book.

So when you're self published you make a few bucks a book

when you're traditionally published,

I don't know how much you make a book, but it's not as much.

So as long as you sell a ton of books

when you're self published

you could actually make more money self publishing

than you would traditionally publishing.

So those are my pros and cons to self publishing.

3 Self Accountability and Survivors - Duration: 5:12.

KIYOMI: What can accountability offer people who have been harmed,

or survivors of violence particularly?

SHANNON: One of the things that I have seen be very common with

many people who've experienced domestic and sexual violence, there's a sense of a

disempowerment. There's a sense of like, I didn't get to make choices about myself,

my body, and my life. And that is very confusing and overwhelming to people. And

one of the things that I think can be so valuable about self accountability is it

can be the strategy of looking at where you can get to make sense of that

experience without having to reconcile with another person who's done harm to

you. So you don't have to go to the person who's done harm to you and say

like, you know, and be on the same page, so try to reconcile that together. You

actually get to look inside yourself and say like, you know, what was going on for

me? What do I need to heal? What do I need to move forward? Are there different

things I need in my life in order to get the support that I need? And so I think

it provides people a really powerful tool for healing without having, without

having some of that external validation that's so rare for so many survivors.

KIYOMI: One thing that I know comes up sometimes when we're talking about self

accountability is sort of this idea that self accountability is somehow a way of

like, putting the blame back on survivors. Could you speak to that a little bit?

SHANNON: For many survivors, they have, in my experience, a complex understanding of

what their role is in surviving. I think particularly when it comes to domestic

violence that's, that pattern of power and control, the long term - just how,

what a long span that domestic violence and the harms can happen in - it makes for

a really complex landscape to understand what happened. And because domestic

violence happens in the context of a relationship,

many, many survivors of domestic violence feel like they did have a role, feel

like they made choices at certain times. And so telling somebody that feels like

they made choices to move towards a relationship that wasn't serving them

that it wasn't their fault and that they never, they didn't have any role in

that often just doesn't even ring true for survivors. And so sometimes I think

this tool of self accountability can actually be a little bit more honest way

to approach survivors. To say you know, you made decisions in the

context of a shitty situation. You had bad choices all around and you made the

best choice for you in that moment. Or maybe you made not the best choice for

you in that moment. And getting people to understand how they, what choices they

made, how they navigated that, how they survived.

KIYOMI: I think a lot about the different ways that survivors make choices

and how we're already limited in

terms of economics, in terms of immigration status, in terms of

transphobia and homophobia and all the different ways that our choices are

limited. And then we're making choices sort of within that.

SHANNON: People do lots of different things in the course

of surviving. Sometimes that's stuff

that like, you get really praised for as being strong. And sometimes people do

things in the course of surviving that they do not feel proud of, that they

would never want to tell anyone, that is not who they want to be in the world. And

people feel profound shame around that. And it's really hard to heal when you

feel shame. And so you know, if you did something in the course of surviving

that is not who you want to be, that's not how you want to be in the world, it's

very, very powerful to have a tool for, to look at that without it being used

against you. And so you know, when I talk about self accountability, especially for

survivors, I actually think it's essential to do that not with the person

that was harming you. That's not a task you're going and saying like you know, I

lied to you in the course of surviving and that wasn't right. Like, I think

that's something people do for themselves, to reconcile like you know, I

lied in the course of surviving and that was not who I wanted to be, but I did

that because it was not safe for me to be my true, honest self. So few people

really understand how domestic violence works. People really believe that

domestic violence is the moment that one person hits another, or that one person

yells at another, or one person degrades another person. Domestic violence is a

pattern of power and control that's like all the moments that you love each other

and things are so great and you feel seen and connected, and the moments that

are hard that you're staying up all night fighting, that physical violence

happens. All that goes into the pattern and that pattern slowly degrades

choices for survivors. And one of the things self

accountability does, it starts to give choice back. It starts to give a sense of

of autonomy. It starts to give a sense of self-determination that you, actually you

know, in order to engage in the task of accountability you actually have to have

a sense of autonomy. You have to have a sense of self. And that is why it's so, so

essential I think, when people understand the true harm of domestic violence. It

actually really helps understand why accountability, self accountability, is

such an important healing tool for survivors as well.

First of All.

THANK YOU!

How to Be Free. by Joe Blow

Chapter 18.

Self-Acceptance and a Troubled World.

There are many problems in the world which often seem insoluble -

ecological collapse, poverty, war, political oppression and disease, to

name some of the obvious ones.

Many have made a great effort to fight these problems, but, at times, it

seems futile.

As with depression, sometimes it seems as if the more

we try to do something about the problem the worse it gets.

Psychology is a huge factor in these problems.

The key factor in our ecological problems is consumption, whether of

food, manufacturing materials, living space or energy.

Population is also crucial.

It's a case of how many of us there are and how much we

are using of which resources.

Our basic physical needs are, for most of us, a very small subset of what we consume.

Our psychological needs determine most of our consumption.

And, similarly, how many offspring we have is a psychological decision,

unless the condom broke.

Poverty is a symptom of a malfunctioning social system in which the

basic physical needs of some are not met because the resources

which could meet those needs are being directed towards satisfying

the psychological needs of others.

So ecological problems and poverty are highly dependent on

consumption, and this is something which varies according to our

psychological needs.

I'm not saying we should strive to consume less.

But when we are armoured we can't get as much enjoyment out of the

things that we have and therefore we need more.

And we are less flexible in what we chose to consume.

Materialism is a poor substitute for other more social forms of enjoyment.

When we are not locked up within ourselves we will find that we can

have more fun interacting with others - partying, creating, having sex - than

we can polishing our trophies.

When we felt worthless, our possessions told us that we were

not, but when we no longer feel that way, we will have little use for

many of them.

While there may be many specific contributing factors to war the

underlying driving force is neurosis.

The desire to use violence to change the behaviour of others is a symptom

of a divided self.

To directly protect ourselves when attacked is

a natural function of the healthy organism.

And it is natural to feel anger when we are treated

unjustly.

But to believe that we can improve our lot in life by invading

Poland, that killing people in a foreign land will make us safer at home

or that we can free ourselves from an oppressively hierarchical global

political structure by flying planes into the economic centre of the

nation at its peak, are irrational conclusions driven by the divided

individual's need to find a target for his or her self-contempt.

But, even if one does not accept this assessment, one

has to admit that someone who is not in a healthy psychological

state is not going to make good decisions in an activity as dangerous

and prone to backfiring as waging war.

Political oppression is something which is only easy to maintain when

the confidence of the majority of members of your society is

compromised by internal psychological division.

Tyrants may resort to murder and torture, but they are always outnumbered

when the population doesn't consist mainly of individual's

predisposed to submission.

Wilhelm Reich, in his book The Mass Psychology of

Fascism (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 1933), put forward the theory that

the phenomenon of Naziism could only occur in a society which was

sexually repressive.

If there is some part of ourselves which we are not

accepting then this makes us vulnerable to manipulation and

intimidation.

This is also something which is understood by many

leaders of religious cults.

Encourage an individual crying out for acceptance to feel ashamed of masturbating

or desiring material goods and you can get them to do anything.

Great progress is being made in fighting disease, but it is still with us.

Now I would not claim that the emotional benefits of self-acceptance

are going to cure diseases.

But how well our bodily system can fight a curable disease or cope with an incurable

one depends on how well it is functioning.

And the repression of emotion through bodily armouring

places immense stress on the body and decreases its ability to deal

with problems.

And there is evidence that mood plays a tremendous role in making us susceptible to some diseases

and affecting our ability to combat them.

There is much anecdotal evidence of "faith healing".

While this can be a popular con job practised in some

religions, in other cases the results appear to be genuine.

Where this does occur the key is clearly not some magical

intervention by a cosmic spirit, but evidence of the role of

expectation on physical ailments in some individuals.

In a case discussed by Laurens van der Post in his book About Blady : A Pattern Out

of Time - A Memoir (Morrow, 1991), the faith was faith

in a surgeon, rather than a deity.

A doctor did an exploratory operation on a peasant and found

him to be riddled with cancer.

All he could do was sow him up again.

But the peasant thought the doctor, who very much impressed him,

must have removed the cancer.

When the doctor returned to the village a number of years later he found his

patient still alive and now cancer free.

And Wilhelm Reich, who believed that emotional and

sexual repression caused cancer and that sitting in one of his orgone

accumulators could cure it, found that it worked for some of his

patients.

Once again the results were probably due to the patient's

faith in Reich rather than the effectiveness of his accumulators.

The placebo effect, in which some patients get

better when given a sugar pill and told that it is medicine, is another

example.

The point is that, while a positive state of mind may not cure

an illness, it isn't going to hurt.

The other factor in dealing with all of these problems is our ability to

co-operate.

When armoured our ability to work together on problemsolving

is limited.

In our insecure state we are prone to find ourselves

in conflict with others and the process can be frustrating.

But in the non-armoured state, not only are we able to

co-operate in problemsolving, it becomes the most enjoyable activity imaginable.

What we really want is to be in a state of loving

communion with others.

We strive for something like this at parties

by getting together when relaxed and maybe reducing our inhibitions

with some alcohol.

The results are pretty variable.

But the point is that, in the un-armoured state, we are in a state of loving communion

with our friends all of the time regardless of what activity we are engaged

in.

Life, even a life of problem-solving, becomes a non-stop party.

and I'm a diabetic.

And sometimes I forget that.

There are honestly some times where I just completely forget

I have diabetes and those times are my favorite times because I

feel like a normal kid.

What does it do to your self-image just having

to battle diabetes every day?

On the bad days, you kind of see yourself as still,

like, I'm trying, you know, like I'm

still trying to be the best person

I can be with this disease.

But I think it's reassuring when I

meet others with type 1 diabetes to know that I'm not alone.

I think she's like a warrior.

There's nothing that she can't handle.

She's proven that to me over and over

again that she can just keep on going no matter

what the challenge is.

I look at myself the same.

You know, before I had diabetes, I kind of

remember what it was like.

But now I just have this whole other routine

that I have to do.

I couldn't imagine getting through this without my family,

you know, like my sisters and my mom.

They're constantly there all the time making sure I'm OK.

And even though they get annoying at times, I love them.

I see my kid as a champion because a lot of kids

can't do she do--

trying to control your carbs and know what

you got to do at certain times.

I just-- I call her a champion all the time.

I don't want type 1 diabetes to control my life.

There's many layers.

Like, I'm a theater now, I'm also a film nerd,

and I'm a diabetic.

And sometimes I forget that.

There are honestly some times where I just completely forget

I have diabetes and those times are my favorite times because I

feel like a normal kid.

Al's always been so fiercely independent,

not just with the diabetes, but just with everything.

Hopefully they know that while we can't really understand what

they're going through, we appreciate that what they have

is not an easy thing to deal with.

I want to be able to have a family

and be the healthiest version of myself

that I can be for the future that I see myself having.

I feel like I do a good job about truly feeling positive

about it and it's kind of given me a story

and that part I'm thankful for.

But, you know, sometimes I just wish that I was normal

and that I didn't have to worry about testing my blood sugar,

giving myself insulin, or going to sleep at night.

I hope she knows that I know how challenging it is for her,

but then again I don't know because I don't live with it,

and that I would do anything to take that from her,

even for a day, just so she could feel normal, you know,

without it.

Even though sometimes it feels like my parents are nagging

because they don't have the disease

and they might not understand, I don't understand

what it's like to have a child with Type 1 diabetes

and that would be pretty scary.

So I appreciate you.

Aww.

I love you.
