Childish Gambino - How To Find Yourself

“I’m just following the fun.” This is everything, not how you spend money, it’s how you spend your time/experiences that’s important.

"How to find yourself" seems like there is a process in which you reach the end, you find yourself at last. There is no such thing. Life just happens, and being yourself is a journey not a destination, it's is at most something you can approach but never reach fully. And that is okay.

some people say hes pretentious but idk whats so wrong about looking inward and not just being ignorant

HOW TO FIND YOURSELF - according to Childish Gambino/Donald Glover 1. Everybody has to eat, but don't get comfortable. 2. Embrace your journey: Learn how to let go (it's all about the experience). 3. Being real will piss people off, but that's okay: Sometimes people delve into "negative" emotions and beliefs, but as long as they don't feel or believe that most of the time, it's okay. We're humans and we're allowed to experience the whole range of emotions. 4. Find stillness: When you find times and spaces where you don't feel the pressure of everything and everyone, you get closer to yourself. 5. Follow the fun: Whatever feels good and interesting, its something real, and you should always be real and authentic to who you are. 6. People only see what they want to see. 7. How people see you can be a strength. 8. Be you, be free. 9. Keep it real.

This guy's a gem. Hope he writes a book someday.

Gambino is super slept on but honest people usually are 🤦🏾‍♂️

He's so wise and real, I would do anything just to hear him talk and pick his brain about his life experiences.

What Childish Gambino is trying to explain is that true strength and beauty comes from within. That seeking validation doesn't matter because it'll come if your talent is authentic and real.

If doing what you love brings you any kind of livable income then very little else in life matters. If doing what you love does NOT bring you money then that, my friends, is where all the strife is coming from. Our system seems to like a few winners, some people in between, and LOT of people at the bottom. It's hard to be authentic when you are punished for it. It's easy when you are being rewarded. How to find yourself? Just be honest. But keep in mind...many of us don't like the truth because it's inconvenient for those of us who have already found financial success. Those of us who sold our souls to find financial success are not interested in any sort of enlightenment that requires a paradigm shift. People who sold out fucking HATE authentic people because they are jealous of their bravery and maybe their luck.

He has the keys to life. Too many are afraid to be themselves.

This is my second Gambino interview/video I've watched today and it has officially saved me about 5 years of production time and spiritual growth.

this channel is amazing ! please keep doing what you're doing

Love this channel, thank you for all this <3

Damn, I've never really enjoyed his music much, but hearing him speak like this, I consider it brilliant. He's so on-point and accurate

Yay so many good take aways from this! The reason you are super inspired first thing in the morning is you are still really close to the astral realm where lots of the best creative stuff happens. And 100% follow the fun. The Fun place is the sweet spot where all the best stuff happens. A few hours of creating from the fun sweet spot is worth more than days of forcing things. Love alll of this!

this is my favorite channel now. thank you 🙏

We love you childish Gambino. Please show the world more music someday. I miss your artform
