Great video, Saiful! Your authenticity really comes through, and I have been discovering that authenticity is the key to connecting with people at a deeper level.
We all have these societal expectations of how we should be… that drive us to be “perfect.” But deep deep down, we KNOW that those expectations, and the way we react and try to live up to those expectations is not the real us.
So when you post a video like this which says, “Here I am. Warts and all! It’s okay, AND here’s something I’ve done about it that you can do too… if you want to” - that really connects with the part of others that wants to be authentic, too.
It’s a viral spiral effect… authenticity begets authenticity. And from what I’ve seen, it’s beautiful.
That was a great video and it came about the perfect time.
I have noticed how some aspects in my room all seemed to be open and laying around. And in the last few days I found that I have done some things, but not yet completed them.
I am that, I am.
The idea that the outer world creating the inner world seems to be the idea of ancient Feng Shui(the art of laying out things to connect the Heavens with Earth).
…I better do my laundry today.
Thanks Saif for this video. It make so much sense. It is so nice to see you back. I did told you some time ago, you got to take care of yourself othervise you will burn you self out not tomorow or even in 2 years time but bit later, you want know what hit you. You want be able to bounce back and that would be realy tragic. You are such asset to the world.
Young people in your age usualy say:”Old women talk” As baby boomers don’t have technology knoledge like young people but we have life experience. I told you I wish my grandchildren would follow you lead, so take care I want in fev years time send my first grendsoon to you blogs.
Love and blessings

Great! I really enjoyed your video. I can see a change in you, Saif, you seem more confident and more ‘relaxed’. But, of course, that is my perception of it, hahaha. Thank you for ‘being you that, being you’.
Great video! Lol You uploaded this at a perfect time for me! haha
I too am overcoming procrastination.
Just yesterday I began cleaning and sorting through some folders, papers, projects etc. Organizing the things I need and throwing out the things I do not need.
Great Video - Yes it is true when your surroundings are clear you seem to be more clear about everything. I definitely feel the more we sort things out and break down our obstacles - the close we will be to achieving our goals. I was once told “a mice can eat an elephant, but it is bite by bite!”

@Chris: Hey Chris!
Long time no see! =) Thank you for commenting on my blog!
Authenticity indeed.. but the ““Here I am. Warts and all!” was
an uncalled for comment!!! HAHAHAH!
Viral spiral effect eh? Sounds like the law of attraction to me!
You’re welcome Cade! I really appreciate your input!

I’ll look more into it and see if I can give you and the rest of my beloved readers more golden nuggets!

Justin, thank you for commenting today and you better clean up after yourself!

P.S. You’ll begin to notice that you finish up those things almost automatically as you become clear on the inside first =)
