No BS, I'm Sad.... But I Got Some Great Advice
Share
Hey guys, um, I hope you're having a really good day. I, uh, I wanted to, hey Butters, thank you. I wanted to, uh, share something with you that was given me, given to me today that I wanted to give to you. It helped me and I'm hoping it helps you. You know, I'm not gonna lie. Things are difficult for me right now.
Um, I know they're difficult for a lot of people, but a lot of my dogs are older and it's really hard for me. For some reason, I'm seeing a good amount of them start to, you know, start to give up a little bit. And, uh, hey, and, um, you know, it's, it's, it's,
it's, you know,
I know I always try to show you like the best of things and always try to be optimistic and I know you've seen me sad when I lose an animal, but. You know, a lot of things about starting the Asher house. I never really thought we're going to be this hard. You know, I, I really didn't. It's, uh, the, the, the people, you know, hiring the right people, um, making smart decisions, you know, dealing with regrets, mistakes that you, that you make, uh,
of course, money, you know, everything, everything just makes it so difficult. And you would think, you know, rationally, you would think like. doing something good or your intention to do something good. In this world should come a little bit easier because it is almost if you think about it. It's easier to do harm, right?
It's easier to do things that aren't good. It's easier to not take care of things than to take care of things It's easier not to take care of yourself than to take care of yourself Like the things that matter are are so difficult and this morning i'm not gonna bs you guys I had a little bit of a of a breakdown Like I felt it coming over the past few weeks, you know I felt it rumbling, but this morning it unfortunately happened on the way to the vet, which is about an hour, a little bit over an hour for me.
So it wasn't the best time to have it and everything's fine. I just, some of the dogs just needed some vaccines and stuff. But a lot of things just like, you know, I felt it all at once and Someone who I spoke to a buddy of mine who's very religious He's very very religious, but he knows, you know, how I feel about the universe And how the universe is my God and, and all that.
And he, but he's very, very, um, Christian and he's just, he's a beautiful, beautiful human being. And he, you know, I know the saying that God only gives you as much as you can handle. So I thought that's where he was about to go because he was like, God, and he was getting his thoughts together. He's like, you know, God, and I was like, he's going to say, God only gives you as much as you can handle.
And I was like, I know this one, you know, I didn't say it. But in my mind, I'm like, I don't need this one right now. But what he did say, and this is what I want to share with you is that he believes he's like, I believe that a lot of people don't have somewhere to go to. A lot of people don't go to church.
Um, a lot of people, you know, don't go to synagogue. A lot of people don't have that person that they go to. And he said from being a part of our Asher house community as a fan and as a friend. But by watching, reading comments and things like that, he said, he sees that a lot of people go to the Asher house every day for either inspiration or laughter or, or, uh, you know, just to feel better.
And he's like, that's a lot of pressure for someone, which I don't really feel because I really enjoy that. But what he said, which, which I thought was really, which really helped me honestly, is that he believes God. Makes things very difficult for me in order for me to go through those things in order for me to go through that process So that I could share that with the world and maybe help people who are going through really hard times Feel better and I thought that was really special and I also thought that to be true I thought that makes sense, you know, because it isn't out of ego I know it sounds egotistical and I don't know if ego ever shines through any of my videos because we all have one So I don't know if this is out of ego, I don't think it is, but I do feel, ever since I was younger, so annihilate, annihilated, annihilate, I don't know how to say it, but so separated from people, I never felt part of a, a group, I've only felt so connected to animals, but I've also for some reason have always wanted to help people, I've never felt Connected to many people, but I've wanted to help many people.
All people. All of them. You know, like anyone who is struggling, I wanted to help. And now, same today, I truly want to help people. And it's hard, you know, it's, it's,
maybe we'll talk about it another day, because I realize this is longer. This is already longer than it needs to be, but
just, just know, you know, I know there's no one out there who isn't struggling. It doesn't matter how beautiful your life is or how hard someone's life is, you know, life is just difficult. And, uh, you hear so many people talk about balance, how they want balance, but what, what does that actually mean? What is balance?
Balance is an invisible dream. Balance is, is, is not possible, because if you're not working towards something, does balance mean no work, right? What, what does that mean? Does balance mean to harm your body and harm your emotions, and then you balance it out by doing something good for it? It almost doesn't really make sense, right?
So it really doesn't matter what you're after in order to progress. In order to do good things in this world. Sure, it helps to put out good vibes. It helps to be optimistic. It helps to pray. All of that energy helps. But it takes hard work.
And, and life won't skip a day. Right? It doesn't skip leg day, if you will. If you've never heard that term, you know, in the, in the gym world, no one, everyone is so afraid of leg day, because then you can't walk for the next couple days if you give it your all. But that's what it's about. It's about giving it your all, knowing that tomorrow doesn't mean that because you gave it your all today, it doesn't mean that tomorrow will be easier.
You have to give it your all knowing that it's possible. Today was the easy day, no matter how difficult it was, and tomorrow will be easier. Is the hard one. There can be, your, your animals can still, right, your animals aren't going to hold on another day. Because you had a bad day. It's, when it's their time, it's their time.
The people who, the people who don't like you, aren't going to try to not hurt you anymore. If you guys are having a hard day, that's their time to, right? That's their time where you don't have your bulletproof vest on that they're gonna go for you. It's always going to be harder. So it's about, it's about giving it your all, no matter the day.
Knowing that tomorrow can be harder. But I do believe, You know, I've always felt so Again, going back to what I was saying earlier with what my friend said, If you are going through a lot right now, which I'm sure that you are, I have no doubt. I have no doubt that you are, because a lot of people are, and we're gonna continue to go through a lot.
The people that are going through a lot, I know it sucks, but I think we're supposed to. I think that we're supposed to, so that we can Talk about it, make other people feel better about it, or at the very least so that we Can learn how to deal with it so that we can be stronger from it.
I do believe that it's not bad luck It's none of that. It's not bad luck. It's not just uh an inconvenience. It's it's meant It's meant for you. It's meant for you. It's meant for you to learn from. It's meant for you to, to figure out, to grow from, and just know, you know, just know you so many people, my gosh, so many, we have like top three emails that we get, you know, in order to basically, will you take my dog?
Will you take my animal? Um, okay. Can I visit, can I visit the sanctuary and how, how, um, Do I do, how do I do that? I want to have a sanctuary. How do I do it? And basically,
you, you know, I can assure you, I can assure you, it would be naive, respectfully, it would be naive to think that, that the five minute, ten minute, like this, two minute videos that you see, that's The whole picture, you know, there's just so much day to day. There's a lot of people that have the impression that I just watch the dogs all day.
I just play, play with the dog, you know, feed them, entertain them. And that's it. But my gosh, what a, what a, I wish how much I wish that was the case. You know, sometimes how much I wish just living in the RV, how, how, how much easier that was. And I remember how difficult I thought it was at the moment.
Right. So. Anyways, stay strong. Uh, I am going to as well. Don't worry. I am. And, uh, I just wanted to share that with you. I hope you, I hope you understand. Um, for those of you who needed it, I hope you got what I, what I intended from this video, you know,
I love you.
