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.
0:22.2	Once you think you know you are no longer a student at 50 I don't know shit I mean I know some things
0:28.7	because I have a story like everyone else I've experienced love and pain and hardship and art and
0:35.2	business and movement but I do not know them. I've only experienced them and

1:18.0	live in wonder, discovery, curiosity,
1:21.0	observe the unfolding about yourself, others, the world, how you feel,
1:27.3	what's going on inside.
1:29.8	Your energy, be a student to everything. That small shift will open your world.
1:35.0	Release the tension in your shoulders, allow you breath maybe for the first time in your
1:41.0	life and belief in miracles. Curiosity over certainty always.
1:48.5	So you know what I love about Facebook?
1:51.7	It's actually my favorite thing is the memories, is how you get served up things that you have written years ago.
