A teacher is there to give you a new perspective on something and to challenge your ways and beliefs. Soul teachers "rattle our cages, they make us uneasy, they confiscate our sedatives." A good teacher will help you wake up to your reality rather than numb out to it. I love the advice that we should find a teacher who helps us awaken to our own internal wisdom. A good teacher will help us become our own teachers. To cultivate our own inner teach our own inner wisdom. So often I look outside myself and to others for answers, which is fine sometimes, but I need to find answers and solutions internally. When that happens I guess knowledge becomes wisdom.

well said!
Excellent video, thank you so much Jeremy! Hopefully this video will start a conversation on here between viewers. I love the advice if I am doing something and it's not working, stop doing it. It's common sense but sometimes common sense isn't so obvious. Sometimes we get on a path, like porn addiction, and although it the behavior is not a good path to be on, it's an addiction, a dopamine and opioid rush, and it's hard to stop. Plus the excuses I told myself, I'm stressed, I'm happy, It's Saturday etc. Checking in with oneself is definitely crucial. Am I happy? Is what I am doing making me happy and will it ever? Societal or familial expectations definitely play a role in our decisions. Am I doing something because it will bring me true fulfillment and happiness, or am I doing something because I think it is what is expected? I've really never thought about "what is my strategy for happiness?" I do so many things that involve tremendous mental effort, but how they make me feel and the reasons why I do them remain unconscious.

exactly.. sometimes we need to stop and have a real honest look at the way we're living and examine the things we think are going to bring us happiness, and whether it's actually working
