I became a cynic and it's the worst thing I ever did - on being young and jaded
In this video I wanted to chat a bit about the prevalent culture of cynicism online, and how I - myself - used to have this mentality. I find myself to be not only happier, but more empowered and resilient now that I have a different approach and mindset in regards to my life. I was inspired by the worlds of Rainn Wilson in a podcast interview he did in regards to cynicism, I do not agree with him on everything and don't necessarily agree with everything in this podcast (it does not reflect my viewpoints or personal beliefs) - but I did find it inspiring! You can check it out his personal story by looking up Rich Roll Rainn Wilson interview "We need a spiritual revolution" and skip to the time stamp "foster joy and squash cynicism" at 1 hour 24 minutes in.
