Here is the complete transcript of the podcast
Happy Saturday morning to you welcome back to Success with Srini. And on the podcast today, we are talking about four feelings that act as obstacles towards you achieving your peace and freedom and happiness and joy or fulfillment, whatever that is. So you can’t get to the Zen state, because these feelings are restricting you, in a way sabotaging you, I don’t think I ever spoke about them. At a level like this, I don’t ever remember just doing a podcast talking about feelings. Because feelings are feelings, they are very subjective, they are to that individual, whoever is going through it. And very personal. And they can only identify with them. Others cannot. They can only resolve others may not. Of course, you can go to you get some outside intervention, it’s possible. But this is you trying to deal with yourself. And here’s the funny thing. These four feelings are these four obstacles. Each one of us, regardless of our financial, spiritual, religious, you know, whatever affiliations we have, regardless of all that we either have gone through or will go through at some point in our lifetimes. So that’s the truth. So let’s get into this. The first feeling is the feeling of being trapped. To one, feeling trapped in a relationship, feeling trapped in a job feeling trapped, in finances, feeling trapped, like trapped in the sense, there is no other avenue left, there is no other way left, and the oxygen is going away. If you’re feeling carbon monoxide everywhere or something, you just don’t know what to do in deep within you are starting to decay.
That’s what trapped means. How do you come out of this feeling? All this Do you know that it is a feeling just know that there is never going to be anything that can bind you down to that level if you choose not to? So it’s a choice of belief. We talked about it the day yesterday, choice of belief, self-examination, choice of belief, with an application of great creative spirit, your self examine, you choose the belief and you apply your creativity that perfectly applies to the situation. So choose not to be trapped. That’s the belief. I don’t want to be trapped anymore. That’s the choice of belief. And now you apply everything that you have, like your creativity, your soul, your entire existence goes applies to that I don’t want to be trapped no matter what. And you will find your way out from this cage, whatever cage that is.
The second feeling is frustration. Frustrated. Do you know what frustration means? Frustration means that you have the capability, you have it, you have that which it takes to really get there. Frustration means that there is no lack of strength, no lack of capability, no lack of ability, no lack of intent. That’s what frustration means. Frustration means that something external is causing an internal rift. So there is something in the environment, something outside of you, that is coming into you and stopping you from getting from you to get wherever you want to go. That’s easy to spot, you can spot what frustrates you. And just don’t be around that. Sometimes. Now I’ll take that and also add one more to this. Sometimes the frustration could be that you’re trying to solve a problem. Maybe something and you know, you can have it in you, but somebody’s not getting there. And a lot of time is going away a lot of energy is being spent and somehow you’re not getting there. Yes, you may become frustrated. That’s okay. That should be okay. It’s okay to get become frustrated.
Now, how do you come out of this? Very simple. Every time you feel a sense of frustration, understand that you’re human, understand that you have limits, understand that there are limitations within which you have to exist and there are limitations in other people with whom you work. Simple, simple. Now, you know philosophy that the third feeling is this feeling of inadequacy? This has to do with self-esteem. It could be real, we all are inadequate in some shape or form. And that also has to do with again, going back to the earlier comment, which is limitations. But inadequacy is, ah, I don’t have this. If I would have had this, then I could have done that. See, then the mind goes if, then else, that’s how the mind starts operating. It’s not a good position to be in, where you, you say, Okay, if I could have had that, then my life would have could have been this. Because the reason why I have my life is this, I could not have that. So that’s how people rationalize their existence, that is living through inadequacy. And I think that just a mind, the state of the mind. And all you have to do is a simple affirmation, which is, you’re unique, you’re different. You’ve been born, raised, and existing in this way. And there’s nobody else like you. Hence, the situations that are happening to you. And things that you’re dealing with are unique to you and to your existence. And this is a way of life, and everybody has their own set of unique situations that are not identical to anybody else’s. And everybody is making a living, dealing with the cards that are being given to them.
So you play your game with the cards that are given to you. It’s okay to be inadequate, but it’s not okay to think too much about it is the point here, then comes envying, or unnecessarily admiring other people’s success and wealth. Power, this is a big one, I see it all the time. You see, whatever wealth you have, I can never have whatever success you have, I can never have. It’s interesting. Notes. The second individual can have the same success. Like the first individual, it’s, every individual’s journey is different. Everybody’s destinations are different. Mentally, we all seem to be in the same boat. But we are on different journeys, even though we are in the same boat. So it doesn’t make any sense, to envy other people’s success and wealth.
The opportunity, the privilege is for you to create your own wealth. And your own wealth doesn’t have to come from money. It doesn’t have to come from assets and belongings and possessions don’t, I don’t think so. An asset can be created with literally anything, wealth can be created from anything, anything is, wherever you give value, whatever you give value to that becomes wealthy to you. Or that could become wealth to you. So be careful how you apply the value. The only individual to who you should apply value is you and nobody else. What are you doing every day to work on your value equations? And I did a podcast just a few days ago talking about how to increase your personal value. And I put five things there and, one thing was giving thanks to God for this life and for this opportunity to have this consciousness to see the world this way exist here for this limited time. And experiencing all these things which many lives did not? How many people do you know who were born and take they were gone early? couldn’t live the life that you are living? Think about it. So what’s the point? Where does this envy of other success and wealth come in? I don’t know. I struggled to understand this. See, these feelings have no place. Honestly, none of these have any place and you can justify them and say yeah, I need them. And that’s how it is and they don’t have any place honestly. And the quicker you addressed these feelings, the lesser obstacles you will have on the path to that emotional freedom. We are talking here.
Too many people have financial freedom. Very rarely do people have emotional freedom. What’s the point of having all the money all the laurels all the success when you don’t have the emotional brain space brain space to enjoy them to relish them? Think about it. Yeah, every time I start the forecast here I see oh the Friday a lot go deep and all that but I’m sorry the Saturday I’m going so deep into this don’t want to okay go enjoy and I will catch up with you right here tomorrow keep listening. Bye.
