YOUR IDENTITY MUST BE INSIDE! - DON'T BE A WEAK PERSON! HOW TO BE INVINCIBLE! - #SundaySermon 043
Peter Saddington's video explores the critical importance of cultivating an internal identity to achieve resilience. He argues that tying one's sense of self to external factors or possessions creates a position of weakness. The core idea centers on detaching identity from tangible assets and outward symbols. Saddington illustrates this with the example of a prized car, like a Lamborghini, becoming intertwined with one's perceived identity, particularly within car enthusiast circles. This can lead to vulnerability if the possession is lost or altered. He emphasizes that life inevitably presents unforeseen challenges, and a solid internal identity acts as a shield against these blows. Saddington advocates for an unshakeable sense of self that remains unaffected by external circumstances. He encourages viewers to focus on inner values and beliefs to cultivate invincibility in the face of life’s unpredictable nature.

Have your identity be internal and have it be firm. Who aren't you? Who are you really? What do you really care about? Where do you want to put your time? What do you want to you end up living for? Right that should be your identity. What are you willing to live for? I built many startups, most of them are failed, so Bitcoin is exactly the place that I like to be. We're gonna end it right there. So we're just gonna get talking here. No notes. No notes here guys. I'm greasy as fuck and that's just the way it is. It's been a long night. We've been working hard. We've been working exceptionally hard and there is something that I am really excited to do and it is it is a big part of our launch, it's a big part of what we're doing and and
it's just it's going to be an amazing experience. Now what is so interesting about what I apologize for the the non-descript just you know conversation here, but it is what it is. We're just turning on the mic and I'm just talking because it just won't let you guys know that this is what I'm thinking about. This is what's going on in my mind. And I like that I'm able to do that on this channel freely and frankly if it helps you if it's just entertainment I'm okay with that. So be entertained But so this thing that that I'm doing this thing I'm doing someone I'm close to relatively close to is asking a question. He said hey, you know, this thing is changing in your identity and and you know He said it in the way where the context was that it was like a
negative like you're losing something I'm losing part of my identity and I immediately I immediately responded back and I said no no no no no no that's for weak-minded individuals that's for weak-minded individuals It really is See weak-minded individuals What they do what they do is they allow for any peripheral tangible asset to be part of their identity that makes you weak That makes you weak because when that peripheral Outside entity that outside artifact that outside thing is Part of your identity and that thing is lost or taken or destroyed Then Part of you are destroyed as well that that that that puts you in such a weak position And that's the way that I want to phrase it. I'm not saying that people who who who have Artifacts or items in their possession and they have taken on That as part of their identity.
I get it. I think it is natural to do so But and I'm not saying that those individuals are weak But what I am saying is that puts them in a position of weakness in which that the fragility fragile nature of the world the fragile nature of the unknown Has such a way life has such a way of biting you in the fucking ass it really does and Nothing can prepare you Nothing can ever prepare you for what is going to happen You you have no crystal ball. There's no there's no known outcome here and so I Find it I find you know, I have responded to them I said hey, you know, I just that just makes it for for putting yourself in a weak position right and and and and I don't want to be in that position. I want to and I
and Nothing can prepare you Nothing can ever prepare you for what is going to happen You you have no crystal ball. There's no there's no known outcome here and so I Find it I find you know, I have responded to them I said hey, you know, I just that just makes it for for putting yourself in a weak position right and and and and I don't want to be in that position. I want to and I said The what makes you strong is your identity is a hundred percent internal a hundred percent internal Because if you have your identity at a hundred percent internal Then nothing in this world no tangible item no artifact no nothing outside yourself can ever destroy you Unless you know they kill the body they kill the body then Is what it is you got one eight seven to you
is dead Saka, but You know That's and I think that's so important and I think this this this is something to remind myself about and I from time to time Certainly because life doesn't life have a way doesn't life have a way of The more time that you have something all right the more time that you have something the more Over time it becomes just a part of you if it comes part of your routine It becomes part of your natural behaviors it becomes part of your daily Behaviors and in so much as that type of experience right experience together you and that item you and that artifact you and that thing Right like a Lambo right the more that you spend time with that it becomes part of who you are and people recognize That outside Artifact that are outside car as who you
are right and so you know It's just natural especially in the car world if you show up you Without your daily driver right this is kind of my daily driver when it comes to doing anything fun Right and so if I don't show up in this They're they wonder and people wonder and they say hey man What's you know you're not driving in the in the Lamborghini flame thrower today? You know what's up? It's like well I got other cars. I got other interests. I got other things. I enjoy right? I enjoy driving the race car and drive enjoy driving the mini Cooper right? I enjoy drive I enjoy driving the Q7 I enjoy driving lots of different things But see that's the that's the idea is that right the more time that you spend With something and that something is just it's it's part
of your outward reflection Right it's part of your daily Engagement with other individuals let's other individuals work on symbols right we all work on symbols And so they they see you and they recognize this common symbol or they're not common But this this consistent symbol with you and they associate it with you So it is only natural over time that that gets ingrained into your identity But that's what I'm talking about We have to be careful of that And and and I think regardless of situation I think it might even be and I you know I even thought through this. I'm just kind of going I'm riffing here kind of like you know I haven't given a lot of thought but I Think we I think a lot of people are put in situations where they have to react They have to react to something
that's what I'm talking about We have to be careful of that And and and I think regardless of situation I think it might even be and I you know I even thought through this. I'm just kind of going I'm riffing here kind of like you know I haven't given a lot of thought but I Think we I think a lot of people are put in situations where they have to react They have to react to something right in life. They're not prepared or they're not mentally prepared or they're not you know fully prepared for for life or maybe it's just experience they haven't punched in the fucking face As many times as other people I can tell you right here. I've been punched in the face so many times I got I got a thick skin exceedingly I don't mind getting punched in the face.
It's Means I'm moving forward fuck if you never get punched in the face. What are you doing? And so you know What the fuck was I going with that? Punched in the face guys. Oh, it just becomes part of your identity over time And I think a lot of people react I think a lot of people react Right they react to situations in life They're not prepared for and then things have to go artifacts Cars things have to go maybe you've been financially irresponsible Maybe maybe maybe you've made poor relationship Decisions right that that's pretty it's pretty much it right those two things you then make really shitty financial decisions Or you make really shitty Relationship decisions and then you could say oh, well, there's a job well Who do you have to work with it's relationship? It's always relationship? So I mean if you
fucked up you know financially or fuck up relationally then sometimes things have to change Right and if you identify with those things Right if you identify with those things and you have to react to now the the the imminence of change the abruptness of that change Right it can be it can feel like a true you know abortion of Your identity can be completely like a severing man I wasn't really fucked up word to use because that shit's nasty but You know, it's just like a true severing of part of you and and and I can tell you I don't mind admitting this to anyone out there It doesn't mean anything to me But I have had real shedding events in life and I'm sure you guys have to but I don't mind saying it on camera Right I have had real shedding moments like
like Moments where where you feel grafted you feel just constant you just grafted to the fucking bone Right you've just lost a significant chunk of your Side of your leg your arm your heart mostly your fucking heart, right? That's what you've lost a piece of you. It's I go even deeper because I've experienced this Sometimes sometimes the savagery of the event can be so severe that you feel like your soul it has been pierced completely pierced Beyond repair Like and I can use this language. I have words to to describe this because I have been there And if you have to then you know exactly what I'm talking about right soul piercing a grafting to the fucking bone Right a ripping of the soul Experience where you have been something has been taken or destroyed Right That type of wounding Right that type of deep
feel like your soul it has been pierced completely pierced Beyond repair Like and I can use this language. I have words to to describe this because I have been there And if you have to then you know exactly what I'm talking about right soul piercing a grafting to the fucking bone Right a ripping of the soul Experience where you have been something has been taken or destroyed Right That type of wounding Right that type of deep wounding And then Where are you? Where are you because you've you put so much of your your identity into this thing Into this outside thing that's the key if you put so much of your identity into this outside Thing then you are a fragile and frail and high-risk individual for mental breakdown Soul breakdown energy breakdown, right? Physiological breakdown because when that thing gets destroyed whatever it is
outside you Right when that thing gets destroyed Nothing gets removed Taken stolen from you maybe Then you Feel the absolute brunt force trauma in In Comprehensive like there's no way that I can fully describe the feeling and I'm going back I don't want to go back.
