[0:07](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/zqgTRs2uo6hY/en/overcoming-anxiety-by-embracing-impermanence?t=7) You're, you're anxious about making it and becoming somebody when very soon, sooner than you imagine, whether you become someone or not, won't be remembered by a single soul. [0:23](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/zqgTRs2uo6hY/en/overcoming-anxiety-by-embracing-impermanence?t=23) That should already set you free. [0:27](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/zqgTRs2uo6hY/en/overcoming-anxiety-by-embracing-impermanence?t=27) For thousands and thousands of millions of years before you, there were people worried about landing jobs, surviving, passing school, making their parents proud, being somebody. [0:38](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/zqgTRs2uo6hY/en/overcoming-anxiety-by-embracing-impermanence?t=38) Nobody remembers them, not one. Their panic and their stress felt just as real as yours does right now. [0:49](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/zqgTRs2uo6hY/en/overcoming-anxiety-by-embracing-impermanence?t=49) History is full of people who lost sleep over things that vanished completely. [0:57](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/zqgTRs2uo6hY/en/overcoming-anxiety-by-embracing-impermanence?t=57) Whole countries disappear. Empires disappear. [1:01](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/zqgTRs2uo6hY/en/overcoming-anxiety-by-embracing-impermanence?t=61) The, the Mayan Empire, the, the Roman Empire. [1:05](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/zqgTRs2uo6hY/en/overcoming-anxiety-by-embracing-impermanence?t=65) Can you imagine how much fear and drama and d- difficult decisions had to be made during that time? [1:14](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/zqgTRs2uo6hY/en/overcoming-anxiety-by-embracing-impermanence?t=74) And it's not even a memory. It's, it's a history question. [1:18](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/zqgTRs2uo6hY/en/overcoming-anxiety-by-embracing-impermanence?t=78) But no one even knows the details of the people who had dreams, and passions, and fears, and love, and life. [1:26](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/zqgTRs2uo6hY/en/overcoming-anxiety-by-embracing-impermanence?t=86) It's as if it never happened. Yet you're here treating your to-do list like it's sacred scripture. [1:34](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/zqgTRs2uo6hY/en/overcoming-anxiety-by-embracing-impermanence?t=94) You turn play into pressure. You turn movement into measurement. [1:40](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/zqgTRs2uo6hY/en/overcoming-anxiety-by-embracing-impermanence?t=100) You turn life into a performance review. [1:45](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/zqgTRs2uo6hY/en/overcoming-anxiety-by-embracing-impermanence?t=105) And here's the part you forget. Do not let your peace be tied to the outcome of the thing you're trying to get. [1:54](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/zqgTRs2uo6hY/en/overcoming-anxiety-by-embracing-impermanence?t=114) Because one day sooner than you think, it will be just as if you never existed. [2:00](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/zqgTRs2uo6hY/en/overcoming-anxiety-by-embracing-impermanence?t=120) And truly, it doesn't matter. Don't tie your anxiety to impermanence. [2:06](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/zqgTRs2uo6hY/en/overcoming-anxiety-by-embracing-impermanence?t=126) Laugh at it. Do your best. Build what you want. [2:10](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/zqgTRs2uo6hY/en/overcoming-anxiety-by-embracing-impermanence?t=130) Build your career, your brand, your legacy. [2:13](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/zqgTRs2uo6hY/en/overcoming-anxiety-by-embracing-impermanence?t=133) Just don't forget what you're building is a sandcastle by the ocean. [2:19](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/zqgTRs2uo6hY/en/overcoming-anxiety-by-embracing-impermanence?t=139) As important as it seems to you, it's nothing more than a sandcastle by the ocean. [2:27](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/zqgTRs2uo6hY/en/overcoming-anxiety-by-embracing-impermanence?t=147) And anxiety comes from forgetting the tide exists. [2:31](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/zqgTRs2uo6hY/en/overcoming-anxiety-by-embracing-impermanence?t=151) The tide is coming for you and everything you create. [2:37](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/zqgTRs2uo6hY/en/overcoming-anxiety-by-embracing-impermanence?t=157) And very soon it'll be like the sandcastle was never there. [2:41](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/zqgTRs2uo6hY/en/overcoming-anxiety-by-embracing-impermanence?t=161) Seriousness is the disease. Play is the cure. [2:46](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/zqgTRs2uo6hY/en/overcoming-anxiety-by-embracing-impermanence?t=166) Handle your business, but don't worship it. [2:49](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/zqgTRs2uo6hY/en/overcoming-anxiety-by-embracing-impermanence?t=169) Create, but don't stress about it. Nothing here lasts long enough to deserve your fear. [2:56](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/zqgTRs2uo6hY/en/overcoming-anxiety-by-embracing-impermanence?t=176) You're on a floating rock inside infinity. [3:01](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/zqgTRs2uo6hY/en/overcoming-anxiety-by-embracing-impermanence?t=181) Relax your shoulders. This was always a game.
