- In this video I'm gonna
share with you how I fell
into a personal development
trap and took it to the extreme.
(upbeat music)
Hello, my name is Greta Bereisaite,
a mindset and business coach,
and for the awesome high value tips,
subscribe to my channel, and hit the bell
to be notified when I upload
new videos every Friday.
So, let's talk about,
what do they mean falling
into a personal development trap?
So guys, let me share with
you what has happened to me
and what do I mean by
personal development trap.
For the last four years, my
goal was to surround myself
with only ambitious people,
people who have big goals,
big dreams, so we can grow
and learn from each other.
I was strictly following,
you are who you surround
yourself with rules, right?
Which is all over YouTube nowadays.
And most of successful
billionaires, millionaires
imply this in their lives.
To be honest, my last four
years have been really tough,
I felt like I'm constantly
looking for people
who are like me, who are very
passionate about their goals.
Now, this type of mindset
made me very judgmental,
I say just didn't let anyone into my life
unless you met that criteria.
In my business, I was
helping people all the time
as bad as what I do in my job anyway,
but I did not let anyone
into my personal life.
So as I was going through
this personal development,
I was looking things up, and
I was coming up with things
such as it's lonely on
top, and you know what?
It really made sense to me,
because the more successful you get,
the more lonely it gets, as
not everyone has a mindset
to hustle 14 hours a day every single day,
and that is what I have been doing
and still I am doing this,
yet my business is much more flexible now,
thank you Lord for that.
Now, that is why with
this type of mindset,
there is a lot of promotion
towards meditation,
positive affirmations, spirituality
as you basically needed
if you want to stay
sane, if you don't want
to get depressed, because
if all you do is hustle,
and you only need to surround yourself
with other successful entrepreneurs
and you don't have anyone,
you're gonna start getting depressed,
you will start to go crazy.
So this is why we're giving
you tips such as meditation,
law of attraction, positive
affirmations, right?
And this is what I was doing.
Yeah, the guys, this is
when I had a wake up call,
a few weeks before my
birthday, I went for a walk
to do my positive affirmations,
which I was doing for the last four years,
meditate, do law of attraction stuff,
yet at the same time,
I still believed in God more or less.
So I would walk and I would
talk to Him in my mind,
I would ask Him, how can I grow?
How can I grow my business?
What is the next step for me?
I feel like I grown a lot already
and I don't know where do I need to grow?
What is the next step for me?
God lead me on a growth path.
I was saying things such as,
"God, please show me a way,
what do you need to do next?
"How can I grow?
"What is the next step for
me to grow in my business?"
(laughs)
Now people, Lord listens when you speak,
that's for sure.
And straight after my
birthday it all happened,
and it hit me hard, very hard.
So my birthday is on 7th of March,
so it was after my birthday.
Oh, this is gonna sound
crazy for nonbelievers,
and I was definitely one of them,
I didn't believe in any
kind of supernatural stuff,
I was very oblivious for about too much,
and on March 11th and on March 12th,
I experienced some supernatural stuff
that extremely freaked me out.
It totally freaked me out to
whenever I can't even explain.
And on March 12th, my
sister gave me a call,
and she was really upset, she
said, "Greta, I had a dream
"that you are going to die,
"and tonight is Friday the 13th."
I freaked out, I freaked out because
I was already experiencing some things,
some supernatural things.
So, the honest truth is,
my sister's dream nearly came
true, it nearly came true.
I was very, very close to
what she has dreamt of,
very, very close.
Yet God has a lot of mercy
and He's very graceful
and God has saved me.
Literally, God has saved me.
I will not get into details of this,
definitely not at this point.
I don't know will I
ever share it publicly,
cause it sounds extremely unbelievable
if you're not a believer,
and I know myself,
I wouldn't really believe in these things,
until it actually happened to me.
Anyway, this supernatural
crazy experience,
put me in the search of Lord, who is He?
What is His story?
What does He want me to be like?
Lord has literally saved my life.
So I started looking for things.
How do I obeyed to Him?
How do I get His
protection and a blessing?
How do I keep Him with me at all times?
How should I live according to God?
How do I listen and
how do I submit to Him?
I had so many questions.
Now, after my experience
and after being saved,
I believe in God like 1000%,
so I started studying the Bible,
and when watching a movie
of Jesus put me back
from cloud nine straight on earth.
Though now back to personal development.
Guys, if you look at the
life of Jesus Christ, right?
He is not surrounding
himself with who He is,
He is there helping people,
and the closest to Him,
the closest people to Him are
good hearted, genuine people.
They are not the most
ambitious entrepreneurs,
they are not the 1% which
is so advertised nowadays,
it's actually good
hearted, genuine people.
Though this made me think
about the personal development
and what is promoted out there,
and when I saw the part where Jesus washed
the apostles feet, my
heart literally just melted
as I realized that life is
not being lonely on the top,
it's about being humble
and staying grounded.
So, of course, keep going
for your dreams and goals,
watch who you let into your circle,
make sure it's very right type of people,
Jesus didn't just let anyone in,
He let in the right
genuine type of people.
And I would say instead of
looking to surround yourself
with only other entrepreneurs,
get mentors and guidance,
cause obviously you need
to know which path to take,
which strategy to use to
achieve your success in life.
But, don't fall into the
trap that I fell into,
where you think that you
only need to surround
with people just like you.
I feel life is not about being
obsessed towards your goal,
but, I life is also about balance.
So guys, I hope you enjoyed
