people will always have something to say about something they don't know anything about. they will always want to bring you down. don't let it happen. time will pass, and soon they'll be asking you for help. https://linktr.ee/thezurkieshow

Because some people won't get it. They won't. And you cannot change their mind. And they will hate on you. And they will say things that will get under your skin if you let it. There is an element in going after your dreams that nobody tells you. It is one that's kind of silent because it's a little bit awkward to admit. And it's also, well, it's kind of sad.

There will be a lot of people who think that you're nuts, who think that you're crazy. And in fact, doing this is not you. That's not you, bro. you're not that guy and I've realized the more and more I focus on myself and the more and more I go after things that are in my brain of mine that's flooded with brain rotten chopped chin references I realize something about the world around me haters gonna hate it is the default it's like the Jonesy of the male experience actually scratch that it's the it's the Jonesy of any experience

any person, any gender, any color, any creed. Hators are gonna hate. You will have people that will support you who will be like, you know what, I see the vision, I'm gonna do everything in my power to help you, and you will have people who will literally just say, no, no, it's not gonna work. And you cannot convince the haters

that you can do it. You can't. It's already decided. And oftentimes, I feel like when we go after something that's bigger than ourselves. And maybe the goal isn't even that big. I wanted to get out of my hometown. That was a big thing for me. And I realized how many haters there were.

It was eye-opening. And how many motivators there were. Hashtag Bethany Moda. Shout out. OGs will remember. Hators are going to hate. It's what will happen. People will not get the vision.

And they will try to put you down and return you back to their level. now there is a difference between being delusional and being kind of a jerk about your dreams i have been both there was a part of me in high school that was like i'm gonna make it i'm gonna make it all this this is so beneath me do you know how much work you have to put into anything in life anything in life do you know how much work there is then you actually realize dang this is like a lot of work and that's really when the haters start to get to you. There's been so many times in my personal life

where someone had told me, you know what? Yeah, you are talented, I guess. Sure, you know how to talk to a camera, but taxes and rent are going to come. And you can't pay the bills with this little dumb video stuff you do. And I had a choice. I could either say, Oh, you're right.

or I could be like maybe but if I really want to do this I don't give a Sigma, I'll get a job I'll work somewhere I'll be serving chopped cheeses at the bodega who cares it's not below me nothing's below me if I need to go back to the drawing board I will and that was the mentality that allowed me to continue doing what I was doing

even when there were no people watching I knew I had to keep going because all the hate comments, all the people who were like, uh, ho, ho, trolling me, I knew haters were going to hate. And people will always, will always have something to say, no matter what you do. If you're going to be yourself, if you're going to be authentic, you cannot please everybody. It's just not possible. Think of how many people are on this earth and how many people have different mindsets, different opinions. Rosin lasagna, medium power, 15 minutes.

Me personally, I don't let it pay any attention. I don't think it's that important. Because I'm focused on what I'm doing,

and I'm focused on the Zirky Show family, the people who care about me. And I think that that's something that maybe is really underrated, focusing on the people that do support you and who are honest about what you do. There were plenty of people who supported my work. They liked what I was doing, but they told me straight up, dude, you need to really focus in on this if you want to make it happen.

This is the same thing with soccer. A good coach knows how to uplift a player, and he also knows how to tell you, hey, bro, you got to stop tweaking on the ball. You got to stop driveling and trying to do like 50 Rinaldo chops. That's not good. So I think it's about finding good people in your corner who are going to root for you.

And sadly, sometimes that isn't our immediate friend group, that isn't our family. How do you expect someone to get the vision if you haven't acted on it? Sometimes it takes a little bit of convincing. You know?

Sometimes it takes a little bit of trust in what you're doing, blind faith, which is hard. It is hard. But anyone who took a risk at the very least learn something. Maybe our ancestors, when they took a risk of eating that berry on the tree

and then they didn't wake up the next day, okay, you know, hey, it happens. But thankfully, a lot of our decisions are like where we're going to eat dinner. Not at Chili's for $60. Thank you very much. I'll pass. But seriously, like the haters are going to hate.

What can you really control about this? You cannot. You can't. You can try to control like, oh, I'm going to, I'm not. gonna listen but don't pay it any mind especially if you know you're different people are the first to point at that and be like well what's that it's weird and it's tough like I know so many people who have succumb to peer pressure who have given up on what talent they had what

genius was within them because somebody called it corny because somebody was like that's mid and you think you're better than me because you can do it. It's up to you. It's up to you. And I'm not saying that blocking out the haters is everything to achieve your dream. No, it's like a part of it. It's like a puzzle piece to a big puzzle. That is life.

Oh, hashtag deep. But on a serious note, I think that there is a lot of hate. There is. But Zerky, what if my haters are my close friend? You need new friends. You need new friends. You need new friends. They don't get the vision.

Goodbye. Thank you very much. Thank you next. Ariana Grande. What do you think she was talking about? The goat. Ariana was on it. Thank you next.

If people want to make fun of you for what you do and being successful, oh, okay. Cool. Does that change any of your success? change anything that you do day to day? No, it doesn't. It doesn't. If people want to make fun of you because you're grinding at a certain sport and you're not good enough yet, but you're putting in more effort and hours than they are, if you want to make beats, you want to make tight beats like Playboy Cardi type beats and two Hollis type beats and you are putting in the

reps every single day and people are laughing at you because, oh, your beats are trash. Is it going to change the fact that you're still going to do it? No. If you genuinely want it, it won't. It won't. Because haters are going to hate. So if you already know this is true, good. Good. It's like a thunderstorm. Like it's going to come through, it's going to rain, it's going to hail, and it's going to be gone. The hate is temporary. There's more to life than finding the perfect car. But finding the perfect car can help you get the most out of life. Like the SUV that handles everything from drop off to off-road, and the car that hulls groceries and hockey teams, or the van that's gone from just practical to practically family.

Taste. view and enjoy via rail love the way and it's it's only real if you feel like there is an ounce of truth to it that's really when it's real when you see something or you hear something from somebody

and you're like dang they're kind of right but other than that if somebody's making fun of you because you're trying something lame get them out of here are they trying anything probably not So why would you listen to somebody like that? Why would that opinion matter to you? It doesn't. It doesn't. Take opinions from people who are doing things that you want to do, who are in positions that you idolize.

That's the people you should listen to. Not somebody who's like, well, my dad told me, like, when I was starting guitar, that I should quit because I'm going to be a lawyer. Don't listen to that kind of person. You have to try it, is what I'm trying to tell you. you. You have a dream or something. You have to try it with what you have. That's another thing. I mean, I wanted to be a pilot at one point. Can't afford that. That's okay. We move on to the next. There are so many things you can do in this life. There are so many ways that you can use your time in a way that

suits you and feels natural and good to you. But no matter what you do, you will have haters. You will have people who doubt you who say, no, you can't do it. And it's on you of how you're going to to that. It's completely on you. And if somebody is telling you that you're mid and you don't believe you're mid, it's not real. The hate is not real. Okay, I guess. That's the literal reaction. It's, okay, I guess. If you think that, sure. That's it. And another thing that is very, very difficult to deal with is what if the hater is not actually somebody else what if the hater is you what if you find yourself hating on other people and you find yourself while projecting on others the feelings that you have yourself i've been there i've been a hater before

I've seen something that my friend was doing and I felt jealous, envious, because they had a talent I didn't have. And I hated. Yeah, he's good at music, yeah, but I mean, he's not going to do anything with it. And I'll tell you what, there will be situations in your life where maybe you feel as if somebody else's talent or somebody else's work ethic is an unfair advantage and you feel slighted. but you cannot control that. You can't control somebody else's success. And the more time that you spend wondering what somebody else's next move is, the more time you're losing towards being yourself and focusing on your own stuff.

And people will spend and sink hours into other people's lives. And listen, I get it. Sometimes it's spectacle. sometimes it's the celebrity culture but if you took a quarter of that time to just look inward and ask yourself like what am I up to

I think you would stop hating if you were honest with yourself about dude I this isn't working for me and I'm taking it out on other people I think you would stop hating RBC Training Ground has discovered potential in over 20 20,000 Canadian athletes and counting.

And for a lot of people who were once haters, what really changed them was an honest look in the mirror, not one where they were using the makeup of other people's failures to be like, I'm so much better. Because it is a dark place

to have your entire self-worth predicated on the downfall of others. So remember, haters are going to hate. Don't let that be you because this is easy. Hating is very easy. It is very easy to look at somebody else and be like, man, they suck. And be like, oh my gosh, they're trying, but it's never going to work. But the difference between the people who do something spectacular is they keep going. while you're looking and being like,

huh? How did they do that? What? They were just like a beginner, and now they're doing that? They were doing it. While you were laughing, they kept going. And if you're in a position right now where you're getting hated on,

you're getting laughed at the lunch table because, I don't know, you started a page and your buddies found it and they're trolling you. Just know that the laughs will one day turn into congratulations.

And it will be too late. If you feel like you're getting laughed at and it's like, bro, this is ridiculous. You can turn that into fuel and you can do something about it, but be careful because dirty fuel runs out very quickly. Or you can let people have a little laugh. And after a while, the same joke gets boring. And naturally, haters, they need an outlet. They need.

reaction in order to function. And if you don't react and you're nonchalant, they're going to move on. Because how many times can you make the same joke? How many times can you pick on the same person? If you give a reaction, you're like, well, I'm going to block you. Then it's just going to fuel the fire.

But if you let it go, on some frozen, let it go, it's done. It's done. You're focused on your fire. you. They're going to move on to somebody else that's an easy target. So just know, if you want to do anything in this life, you will have people who are going to be opposed to it. And some of those people might be the closest ones to you. And you really have to follow your intuition and you have to follow your gut as to doing the thing that you know is right for you. Because some people

won't get it. They won't. And you cannot change their mind. And they will hate on you. And they will say things that will get under your skin if you let it and if it's true but if you focus on what you can control and you hold this dream this thing that you want to a high enough standard the haters are going to hate but that will not change a thing zirky show they might troll you like this guy over here infamous austin texas troll but who cares bro like listen Listen, this life is very fragile. I don't think we really realize that while we're young and we have infinite energy and we can watch as much Netflix as we want to.

We can chill out on the couch as much as we want to. We can eat a bunch of junk food and then go on a five-mile run and it's like nothing ever happened. But as we're going to get older, we're going to realize the worth of time. And anyone that I know who is older, they always tell me, man, use your time wisely. And the truth is, I don't know if I'm using it wisely. I hope.

But something is telling me I am. And you got to go with that feeling. You got to go with that feeling. Because what else do you have? You're going to spend a life hating? Not me. I got better things to do. We are so back, Zerky Show.
