2 things. The talking zone with the kids is incredible.
I am 37. I have no kids.
I grew up with a step father very angry very insecure and abusive. When Kevin mentioned his daughter getting angry. If I would have done that. That would have instantly triggered my step fathers anger and I would have gotten shut down. I was not allowed to have any emotion. Only he was. This treatment ruined my self esteem and relationships with other. It led me to addiction problems which leads me to my second point.
I'm 37 and have been in recovery rebuilding my life the past few years.
When you spoke of everyone wanting better for themselves but just not doing it and putting it off. That isn't true. I hated myself for a long time and thought I deserved to be treated terribly. So I treated myself how my step father treated me. My addiction issues were not about drugs. Well yes escaping emotional pain but mostly it was about self harm because it was what I was taught.
I had to realize as an adult the point where I had to make my own decisions and re program my mind from what I was taught as a child.
I was the complete opposite of Joe and Kevin. I had no drive or motivation for the future because I was trapped in my past trauma.
I'm finally now at 37 doing things to give my life meaning and building a foundation to success upon.
I believe trauma is the foundation of most mental health issues and today it's not just our parents or the people in our community that can traumatize us it's also mass and social media the internet can traumatize a child. One thing at an early age can mold a persons mind incorrectly.
The most important thing people need to realize is why we do what we do. Why we are who we are and it is always because of our past experiences. I think people don't like giving others credit for having power over us. But when that happens you're doing the opposite of what you think you're doing and not even living you're own life.
I wasn't living my own life, I was living the anger and pain of my step father for him and of course I always told myself I wanted to be nothing like him but emotion spreads faster than any virus.
I can not believe Kev just said that “life has game qualities,life is like a game” that is the same exact thing I say to people but I use (monopoly) as an analogy. It truly is you are the character in this game called LIFE and you make choices based on what’s near you and walk up to people ask them questions, go gain knowledge, move forward! Raise up the level in this game!
Kevin hart is a puppet
When he's talking about how inspirational words come up later and help, so damn true. I remembered having a stroke at 27 my Kidneys then failed a month later, I'm sitting there getting my blood pumped through a hose, and how I've been a drug addict and done nothing with my life, I'm gonna die a failure. I was about to give up but I remembered something an Australian Antarctica explorer said when he was hanging down a cravass in a glacier frost bitten on his feet and hands. Struggling to climb a rope to his dead comrad who was literally the only thing holding him from death ( their sled got caught in the crevass) "just try one more time, it's dead easy to quit, it's the keeping on that hard" and I'm still here, I don't do drugs anymore, I'm now working 5 days a week, shit job but it's a start. Inspirational shit like what Kevin says is what helps people.
