| 0:00.0 | Hi, my name is John Kim. I'm a therapist who went through his own |
| 0:04.3 | rebirth many years ago and I've been documenting my journey ever since sharing my life |
| 0:08.9 | lessons and revelations. I believe in casual or clinical with you instead of at you. I come unrehearsed on purpose |
| 0:16.2 | because self-help doesn't have to be so complicated. |
| 0:22.0 | Most live with a life happens to me mindset. |
| 0:25.0 | We all know it's a powerless state, throws you into victim mode, turning your life |
| 0:31.0 | into a choiceless maze. |
| 0:33.0 | It stunts growth and potential and instead of living you merely exist. |
| 0:38.0 | This was my mindset for all of my 20s and half of my 30s, right? |
| 0:42.8 | And you become a walking shell |
| 0:46.3 | and to find life is something that's tolerated instead of truly lived. |
| 0:51.0 | But this mindset isn't something we're born with. It happened slowly, gradually, after the |

| 1:16.0 | Here's what happens. Simply put, we discover pain. We fall off our bikes. We learn that our |
| 1:21.6 | parents are flawed. Our friends hurt us, sometimes on purpose. We discover |
| 1:26.0 | unhealthy love that confuses and crushes us. Un expected tragedies occur constantly. We get |
| 1:32.1 | evicted. We lose jobs, get into accidents, break bones. People |
| 1:36.7 | disappoint us, hate us, lie to us. We disappoint ourselves. We go through breakups, our kids leave the house and we have to finally look at our |
| 1:46.9 | marriage in ourselves. People we love get sick, all of this over and over again, and we fight, we do our best to stay positive in a game, in this game of life. |
| 1:58.0 | But after years and years and years of suffering, life takes its toll. We start to believe we have no power. Life happens to us and we |
| 2:07.0 | decide to stay down. It's not one thing that happens to us, right? It's the slow drip of life that drowns us and blurs our lenses. |
