Learning Life with Alberto

There have been many times where I've found myself upset and worried about doing new things and not being good at them. Sometimes, it's gotten to the point where I stop doing these things because of the feeling of failure. Whether it's creating content, filmmaking, writing short stories, picking up a new sport, or learning a new subject, the idea of not being great or perfect at these things has sometimes been daunting and crippling. If this sounds familiar and you've felt this way before, you aren't alone. In this episode, I go over a quote, supposedly attributed to Kurt Vonnegut, that has been circulating on the internet that discusses what these new experiences and things mean to our lives. Whether or not this quote really comes from the American Author, I decided to talk about it because sometimes we need reminders and pushes on DOING THINGS THAT MAKE US HAPPY! With Much Love, Alberto Castillo P.S. I found on a Reddit thread that this quote might actually be from a Tumblr post. So I have decided to include the post link below. Nonetheless, this is still an awesome quote. Tumblr Link: >> https://three--rings.tumblr.com/post/625948601747636224/when-i-was-15-i-spent-a-month-working-on-an Follow Us:

Take accountability for your actions! There are so many times that we put the blame on circumstances and other people, but fail to realize we are the ones to blame for our own misfortunes majority of the time. Like Theodore Roosevelt once said, " If you could kick the person in the pants responsible for most of your trouble, you wouldn't sit for a month". So go handle your shit and kick ass today! Much love

When I started thinking about new episode ideas for my podcast, the concept of self-talk came into consideration immediately. These past few months have been a little bit challenging for me as I had to take a step back and look inward and figure some of my own challenges and negative self-beliefs.
