MARIO! STOP! ITS ME! STOP! PIOTR!
<Mario is telling not too funny joke>
Priest says: :We gathered here today..." Someone from the crowd: "We gathered here today..."
Prest: "Hey, you with bulging eyes - STOP!"
The frog answers: "Did you hear that Crocodile?!"
RIGHT! You watched my video where I talked about motivation
You questioned me when in this video I mentioned that 'gratefulness' is a key to motivation in my opinion
(In the very moment when you consciously understand how much you already have...)
(... you wake up in the morning, you open your eyes, you can see, you can hear, you can breath)
now... what if you wake up in the morning and life doesn't seem to be that "amazing"?
In your case -' you can't see'
I thought that you are the best person to ask this question...
How would you call your lack of vision issue?
What names would doctors give you?
Disable, unable, blind
"A HORSE IS BLIND! AND YOUR MOTHER!"
When someone calls me this names on the street, that's how I always answer :)
Quick story: Recently, after a training at the gym
I did biceps and my back because they will NOT work out themselves :)
After I finished and I was just about to leave the building
I approach the staircase and suddenly some woman jumps out of nowhere and calls: "STOP! STOP!"
I ask: "WHAT HAPPENED?!"
She says: "STAIRCASE!"
So I answer: "OK, OK, I know..." and I show here the staircase with my walking stick
But she doesn't really care, she grabs my hand and tries to take me down the staircase so I do not fall
My thought after that was that people do not really help me with this
So people do not really help you doing that?
Exactly. Here's the key
I talk now generally about disabled people
Why so many people are more disabled that they really are?
Because they are perceived as disabled!
If they were given more opportunities to make mistakes, fall a bit more often
and if people stopped talking: You're blind, he's blind...
If someone tells you 100 times that you are blind, then no matter what - you start to believe in it!
You are NOT blind. You are heedless - as one of my colleagues would say
Noone is blind - You're simply distracted
You just need to listen to the environment, use different senses
But unfortunately... The society is putting you down - constantly.
There was a time you actually saw, right?
Yeah, my parents noticed that something is not quite right when I was... maybe 4 years old
When I couldn't see some details etc.
Apparently, at that time I already didn't see some small things, details.
I am interested in this particular thing...
Wasn't it shocking for you when you lost your sight?
I understand when a person is born blind
But what happens when you actually saw and then you suddenly loose it.
You loose the thing which most of the people on the planet take for granted - they just have it
Well... First of all, there is a lot of frustration
Especially when you walk into something, you hit yourself, fall...
When you do mistake and for example put your hand where it should not land
It definitely has huge impact on the person's mind. For sure.
I see... That's what I was thinking, it must not be easy... But I just cannot imagine it myself
Well... most of the activities, things you do are difficult, especially in todays world
Our world today is very visual.
It is sometimes difficult to speak to someone.
When someone tries to explain you something the use words: "Here, there, like this"
Everyone is showing instead of explaining
Even when they speak, they still show: 'Like this' , 'this way'
Damn it, I have never thought about it THIS way...
See, for a person like me, it is an empty information
Have you ever thought that you miss your sight or maybe you're jealous?
Not really. Lack of sight opened different doors for me
Ooo, that's interesting.What do you mean by this?
The simplest example: Meeting another person
Usually, people unconsciously judge newly met people straight away
You look at someone and first things you notice is what the person looks like
You look at their color of skin, what clothes does he or he wear
You notice if such person is clean or dirty, lacks one tooth, is bold etc.
You look and in one second you already have an opinion of the person!
Damn, true story!
In my case, for example, I may judge someone by their scent
I am sometimes fooled by the scents for example
But it doesn't happen that often. People usually have natural smell... until people gets a shower, everything is fine :)
So basically you are not able to judge someone by their looks.
When I meet someone, I automatically 'FEEL' the person
I 'see' what and how the person talks to me
whats the tone of their voice, what's their energy...
For example a person may be repulsive for everyone and I will make friends with them
Or on the other hand a person may be super 'cool', good looking, smelling nicely and be popular...
... and I will not have connection with such person
Do you ever ask questions such as:
"Why did it happen to me?"
Maybe in the past, many times.
How about now?
Now no. First of all, I have never blamed God or my parents or the world or anyone for that
I thought I must be extraordinary if I have the condition I have
More and more often I treat it as a Blessing
Ahh... Exactly! I think the same way. When something like this happens in your life you either sit on your ass and complain...
...or you take it as a blessing and you use it to your advantage.
Thell me what do you do. I know that 'sitting idle' is the last thing you could do
I have hidden or maybe even not hidden ADHD
There has always been something in me that prevented me from being still and idle
Even when I used to be at school, when they forced me to sit behind that bench...
... the teacher used to constantly ask me to stop moving, stop fiddling.
Apart from doing Capoeira, what else occupies your time?
I train other martial arts
<as we all could see at the beginning of this video>
I swim - probably a habit from my childhood
I know you also do gymnastics.
I also think that Music can be also added
Thanks to you I play the drums, its also very kinetic
OK! LAST QUESTION
I want YOU to answer your own question which you asked me after watching my video about Motivation
What is it like you wake up in the morning and life may not look that brilliantly - in your case, you cannot see
Where is your motivation coming from when you wake up in the morning?
I understand there are days when you cannot be bothered - everyone has those days
But usually: What motivates you every day?
One day, I talked to my psychotherapist - there was a time I really needed psychotherapist's help
He told me that its possible that I do all those things because...
I have vision issues and that's what motivates me - my handicap
Because I cannot see, I tell to myself: I am still fuckin' gonna do it even though I cannot see.
Like agains fate?
Yes, against all of this destiny.
- "You cant see - Sit on a couch, play an audiobook..."
"... order a pizza so they can DELIVER it to you"
Yes, you could live like this
But you do not have to?
Well, I wouldn't stand it, it would kill me.
Once upon a time I went on a certain course where I had to sit and learn
This is not for me. Maybe that's why I am a manual therapist today - there is loads of movement involved
I just cannot sit and do nothing.
Imagine if ALL people in the world were blind?
Noone would complain. It would be just normal.
Maybe even it is like this in reality? The only difference is that I walk into people and they do not walk into me?
I see myself as normal. Its just sometimes I step into dogs poo :)
Some say that "Bland cannot see shit"
There are moments I get frustrated, especially in the city...
...where there is constant fight for money and a customer
everyone aggressively advertise their business, put obstacles on a pavement
and its sometimes challenging to walk through this city jungle.
But you know, when I have a better day, I treat it as a training ground
And this is it!
You said such important thing...
In my case for example, I like this kind of grinding.
I like this concept when life get challenging and I understand it got challenging.
I also understand it is an opportunity for me to grow physically and mentally.
I understand that you have the same.
From the city jungle and chaos I created my own training ground
Since I said "No, thank you" for the last guide's dog which was always pulling my ass this and that way around the city
and I found a book about echolocation, and when I read this book and I understood how to train it...
...then all of those obstacles became my friends
Does it actually work?
Yes, but there is a lot of practice involved
I actually remember that book, you played it to me once
For example, now when I approach a parked car, I still hit it with my stick but only because I want the drivers to start parking in the right places :)
Now I am able to hear a parked car, a tree, a bin, a bus stop
Its like I walk and I can here them talking to me: I am here
It is the reflected sounds I make which tell me about the positions of the obstacles
Its an active echolocation
Everything depends on us how we see things
There was a time I was getting furious when walking into all those obstacles
I was cursing and swearing like crazy
It was actually one of the reasons I needed help of a psychotherapist
I was so angry and I didn't know how to deal with it
The problem was that I was concentrated on this anger.
I did not understand that those obstacles are just to help me to train!
SO YOU CAN! Human can became a bat if he wants to!
<Some guy aproached asking for bathrooms... KEEP WATCHING>
Look at this... A 'blind' man is explaining how to find bathrooms...
In my opinion, feeling pity for someone only show that you feel that you're better.
People say: "I feel sorry for you"
"You feel sorry? Do you think you're fucking better than me?"
"Oh, but the are things you cannot do"
"Yes, but there are also things which I can do and you cannot"
Man, that was awesome! Thanks a lot!
Do you think you can text quickly? Look at that...
What did you type?
"What time do we meet?"
