We go with nothing. Which means at some point before it's time for you to go, you will be faced with the fact of learning the necessity of letting go of what you have attained in this lifetime. And if you have not learned and have not understood that this is going to come, Speaker 3 (1:57) It's a very, very hard awakening. It's a very painful awakening. You have this realization that you have spent 70 years, 80 years following your goal and now there is no other choice. You have to let go. It is simply by feeling inside yourself how easy, how willing are you actually to let go of what you have. Speaker 3 (2:28) It's never about promoting to have this is not good. No. But to have attachment, at least in this type of tradition, will have consequence. So it's not about what is it that you possess. It's about what of these possessions are possessing you. Speaker 3 (2:53) Let's start with a sports car. If the salary that you have is just as much that you can pay your rent, nevertheless you want to have that sports car, therefore take a loan, then buy the sports car. It's very probable you're going to be very attached to the car. You didn't buy it from a position of abundance. Differently it is, you have the possibilities and you just spend the time and spend also the money on the sports car and see it what it is. I do think the excitement in the beginning is there for a week. Maybe a month, that's already long, but it's fading. And at some point, there will even be a day you don't even see it. When you observe them and actually realize, yeah, it's the truth. This is how the development of things with possessions is. In the beginning, it's always like you want to have, you want to have, and then they fade. Wanting is the one part, and then realizing how is life really? Do you need it? Is it necessary? Can you afford it? It's the second part. It just opens another perspective. And then you just decide for yourself. But there comes the fight now again. Between this very strong identity and the other side of just forget about your identity. Be as you are. That's it. No matter what you're going to attain, you have it for 100 years after what is gone. So just be. So growing up, Like I said, in this field of martial arts, I met a lot of masters. I met a lot of grandmasters. I always went looking for other instructors, looking for somebody outside of myself to be a mentor, to be a guide for me. But at some point, always realizing that everybody, no matter who it was, They possessed some type of skill that I wanted to learn from them. But there was one thing that none of them in a way could help me with. And that was how do I run my own life? I can learn skills from you, I can learn skills from here, I can improve in this area, in this area. But putting all these skills, putting all this knowledge, putting all the advice, putting it into a structure, into a frame, and then to run my own life with it, there's only one person who can do this. Yourself. And this is where I meant that Don't rely on a master for him to run your life Don't rely on the mentor a guide whatever to run your life this whole journey is about you learn and Acquire the skills and acquire the knowledge and acquire whatever you think is necessary To bring out the best version the best refined Speaker 3 (6:07) potential about yourself, about what you believe you are capable of bringing out about yourself. Meaning, the master is already sitting inside of each individual. It's just that we don't nourish that master inside of us enough. When I build up my body, how do I really build up? How do
