Hey guys, my name is John Kim. I'm a licensed therapist and life coach putting

self betterment into a shot class because let's face it who's got that much time

these days. I come unpolished, unrehearsed, on purpose.

If you're looking for more of a wine glass, you've come to the wrong place.

Most of us place our worth on what we can do, not who we are. True? Part of this is because

of society and the society's pressures to emphasize, italicize and bold performance,

right, productivity, your ability to produce and there's nothing wrong with

embracing your gifts and your ability like you know if you take someone like

Bruce Lee or Michael Jordan or anyone who has

exceptional gifts in or have become obsessed with their craft and it's you know

taking that shit to a whole new level I think is amazing I think it's a

birthright I think if you know what you're good at you have to triple down on that

and share that with the world right I think there's a responsibility to that, but there's also a danger if you, if you believe

that that is all that makes you you, you know what I'm saying? I think there's a huge disconnect

especially with this happens with athletes a lot when their whole life revolves

around their performance and then

they get into an injury or something happens or they don't perform like they used to and then suddenly they internalize that and believe that they're less than

right or their value as a person has gone down

because they've tightly tied their worth to their ability.

And so this is why I say fuck your identity because we create an identity that is based on our ability to do something not on who we are.

So that process, it creates a split, right? I believe our potential as a being as a human being lives in

connecting to ourselves not disconnecting to ourselves. So yes I agree know what your gifts are and get obsessed with your gifts and work on your craft and of course that's a part of you
