| 0:00.0 | It's funny, I never used to think about the fact about loving myself. I just wasn't that guy. |
| 0:07.7 | The thing about loving myself actually came when I had rock bottom and I really had bottom and |
| 0:12.1 | it was a desperate time to save myself and in this desperate moment I made this vow to myself. |
| 0:17.0 | I vowed to love myself and I, you know, it was a longer vow but it was my loving myself. |
| 0:21.5 | Where that came from, I had no idea. I still don't. It was a pure primal vow. |
| 0:26.8 | It came from like a de-place of literally I was trying to save myself. When I realized that, |
| 0:31.7 | I don't know how to do that and I got to figure out because I made a commitment to myself and |
| 0:35.9 | and a vow to yourself is a sacred act. You know, you do that, you keep it and life will change |

| 1:22.6 | the core is the same. And fundamentally, it's, it's fear and love. You can't fight fear. |
| 1:29.2 | You know, like fear, you know, it's a concept that I've learned is that, you know, light and darkness. |
| 1:34.8 | You can't fight darkness. Darkness is the absence of light. So what you do is you work in the light, |
| 1:39.2 | you bring the light in and that takes away the darkness. And so that's something I actually really |
