怎么样，美丽的人们？

这是你的 家庭女孩，无耻女士，

都在她身上 无耻之家。

这是我的制作办公室。

五年过去了 我开始了我的 YouTube 频道。

五。年。

我正在扔一个 五周年纪念派对

在洛杉矶举行 安吉利斯如果你住在这里。

你可以一个人来。 你可以交朋友。

但我去年举办了这个活动，

人们离开后交了朋友。

你们可以 网络并享受乐趣。

这非常鼓舞人心， 只是超级可爱、有趣的活动。

范艾米 (Amy Pham)，DJ Amy Pham 和 Min Pham

将是 旋转转盘。

我有特别的客人 将会突然出现。

获取门票 在售完之前。

链接位于 下面的描述框。

大约五年 以前是在我家，

，也不是很无耻， 那是在纽约市。

祝我生日快乐。

祝我们生日快乐 一起做这件事。

我生命中的一件大事是， 我一直是一个安静的人。

我总是很害羞。

但我精力充沛 和创造力被压抑。

但因为我太 羞于说出去，

我保持沉默 并阻止了它。

如果年轻的玛雅人看到这个玛雅人 今天，她会很高兴，

因为我曾经 总是受到

大而无耻的人物的启发， 因为我从来都不是那样的人。

我总是很安静。

我对自己的行为感到无耻 表兄弟，但仅此而已。

我问自己 问题是，如果我无耻的话

会发生什么 在网上推销自己？

天哪，什么 我错了吗？

我想出了这个， 我拍摄了一段视频，

，我是在 New 中拍摄的 约克在这个艺术团体

我曾经是其中的一员 被称为骗子的人，

，这是一个视频。

大家好，我叫 Maya，

我是新人 约克市艺术家

居住在纽约市。

我想了解如何 把自己放在那里。

我制定了这个挑战， 这个社交媒体实验。

如果我会发生什么 一年365天都无耻地自我推销

？

它真的来了 因为我是一名艺术家，

，我充满了羞耻， 我喜欢隐藏我的工作。

我专注于 是一个完美主义者。

我专注于变得更好，但是 从不把自己放在那里。

当我的朋友 建议我上 YouTube，

我觉得它很俗气；我 认为这是无耻的。

我当时想， 你知道吗，女孩，

我什至不知道为什么 我就是这样表现的

我没有什么可失去的。而我 确实没有什么可失去的。

随着年龄的增长， 你越意识到

或者希望你 意识到这就是你的生活，

，你就会得到一个 有机会活下去。

我很羞耻 来自我的成长经历。

我是在严格的环境中长大的 天主教菲律宾家庭。

我妈妈总是教我 要谦虚，不要大声。

调低音量即可。只是 将其调暗。调低一点。

也许我不会 那么将其定义为耻辱，

但我认为谦虚 可能会变得羞耻

，因为你有 为自己保留。

你不能大声喧哗。你不能是 大胆。你不能无耻。

所以我做的一些事情 为我的工作感到羞耻。

也就是说，我有背景 在摄影和表演方面，

这对于 我要展现自己，

来宣传 我学习的手艺，

我学习的手艺 非常努力地工作，

并告诉人们，比如， 嘿，我做这个。看看它。

更是如此 除此之外，给我钱

，这样我就可以为您提供这项服务。

就像，那就是 对于一个艺术家来说真的很难。

我想了很多 艺术家们为此苦苦挣扎。

是的，艺术家也是人，但是 我特别有这个视频

和这个挑战 最初对于艺术家来说。

但显然 它对所有人开放。

你不需要害怕。

我觉得我们的 恐惧来自于我们

自我评判的不安全感， 别人评判我们自己 --

我认为这是我们的不安全感 对他人想法的恐惧

与 羞耻的概念。

所以做你意味着 做、创造、制作、

摆脱你的头脑 并实际做某事，

但无耻意味着 把自己放在那里

，这样就可以了 与其他人一起庆祝。

这不像一个孤独的人

就像我过着自己的生活 为自己而独自生活，

因为我们生活在一个 与人交往的社区，

最终， 是的，我们希望被接受，

所以这是一个平衡 做那些滋养你灵魂的事情

，同时让其他人参与进来 人们加入谈话。

当我说我是 就要不要脸了，

人说，什么时候 那件事发生在你身上吗？

从字面上看 当我这么说的时候发生了。

当我说，我是 会无耻的。

只有我一个人 作出声明。

我记得走进工作场所，

我在一家酒吧工作 在纽约，鸡尾酒服务，

，我记得我 感觉真的很幸福。

这就像一个大 重量已经解除，

因为我做了一个 向自己保证，

，我已采取措施 放在我需要做的

才可以无耻。

我不知道在哪里 这需要我，

，但我知道付出 我自己在线许可

以其他方式流血和喂养。

但是这个概念 当我 正在经历离婚，

...

，我想 维持婚姻

因为我感到羞耻 让我的家人失望，

让我的朋友失望。

我就像，女孩，你 不能与您的生活方式

相矛盾 为自己创造的。

你不能 违背了你无耻的声明

。

你和一个不喜欢你的人在一起 甚至想和你在一起，

那你为什么 为了亲爱的生命而坚持？

所以不要感到羞耻 其他人的强烈反对。

您的真实感受如何？

当我对自己诚实时，

我能够做出一个 决定并继续前进。

生活很艰难 与您的想法

个其他人对您的想法一致 以及你对自己的看法。

压力好大 我们基于判断和羞耻而给自己穿上

。

当你 可以放手，

它将改变你的生活。

所以即使它 是一份在线声明

，旨在在线推销自己，

只是推销自己 意味着让自己成长。

这适用于 你生活的每一个领域。

我会说搬家 从我家出去是

众多无耻行为之一，

而且事情进展顺利 在这次挑战之前。

当时我 18 岁。

它教会了我独立，

它教会了我 负责。

但这也教会了我 让自己脱颖而出，

因为我从 从多伦多到洛杉矶，

，我必须解决问题，

，但我没有人可以依靠 帮助我到达某个地方

或帮助我得到一些东西。

我不能问他们或者 期望他们为我做这件事。

所以我必须 无耻，从某种意义上说，

并要求一份工作， 询问住宿地点。

这让我做好了准备 十多年后我无耻的里程碑

并搬回洛杉矶。

这次我 住在我梦想的阁楼

，而以前我一直在

青少年时期和生活期间都难以支付房租 在纽约市的引擎盖里。

这是一个 当然，这是一个完整的循环时刻。

绝对是一个巨大的里程碑 在我无耻的旅程中

必须是 与王子一起工作。

他在 YouTube 上找到了我 因为我无耻

并成为了粉丝 我的摄影。

我最终去了 当他在音乐会上表演时，和他一起在路上

， 当他在家里表演时。

最后是他的专辑 《Artificial Age》的封面，

和年轻人的封面 梦想的女孩

有一个小 杂志

专栏中的图像 出现在时代广场

和世界各地 --

必须超越我的 无耻行为清单，

与 无耻的王子。

让我看看 我的 YouTube 频道。

第一个是 肯定上传视频。

那是最多的 我做过的可怕的事情。

我哭得眼睛都肿了 上传后，因为

我非常害怕和羞愧 人们会怎么想。

这确实发生了 对于前三个视频。

哦，我的天性 卷发例程 --

这是另一个无耻行为，

因为我把 我自己在洗澡，赤身裸体。

我赤身裸体。我没有 有一件比基尼。我赤身裸体。

所以这非常 无耻，而且当时

人没有在拍摄 在他们的淋浴间进行教程。

纽约时装周崩溃

是一个大事件 对我来说无耻的里程碑。

我带着 保安人员。

您可以在此处观看视频。 但这是非常无耻的。

然后当然 在 YouTube

上直播剃头发绝对是无耻的行为。

接下来， 在 iTunes 上推出单曲

一首说唱单曲 由您真正写下的文字

表达了存在的意义 无耻就是无耻。

♪ 留在 游戏，玩游戏，♪

♪ 没有名字，只是为了 耻辱，不求名誉。 ♪

♪ 打破规则， 向这些傻瓜展示 ♪

♪ 这是黎明 新学校的。 ♪

♪ 我们会 -- ♪

无耻不一定 必须大声、激烈、大胆，

但也可能是

你只是 感到羞耻或害怕这样做。

所以对我来说，问 来自其他人的帮助 --

这对我来说是一件大事。

为了让我工作 在生产办公室

和一群人一起， 过去和现在对我来说都很难

要求人们做事，

因为我仍然身处其中 心态，自己做。

你能做到。你 可以弄清楚。

不要把它强加给别人。

我想，女孩，什么 你付钱给他们吗？

这只是 能够继续前进。

是的，是的 鼓励在网上获得积极的

反馈和评论，

但能够看到一些东西 一周又一周，

它增强了我的信心。

就像，你已经完成了 持续一星期。

您已经这样做两周了。

你做得越多， 你会变得越好。

所以我的信心来了 从只是做得更多。

为了获得， 你必须放弃。

必须有 某种牺牲。

它可能是你的长子， 你的狗——我开玩笑的。

对我来说，它必须是

正在占用的东西 我生活的一个领域。

所以独身是其中之一 我为了获得和成长而牺牲了

，

，但我不是 开玩笑吧 -- 听着 --

我收到了视频 网上证明了这一点，

但三年前我的 生活变得非常不同，

然后我承诺 在我的生活中戒除性行为。

因为我放弃了那一个区域， 我能够在工作中表现出色。

所以我不是 必然告诉人们

要禁欲、独身，

但是如果有 您生活中

可以给予的领域 和牺牲，就这样做。

我学习牺牲 来自阅读圣经。

牺牲性地奉献金钱 --

在教堂我总是奉献 就像一美元，想着 --

我当时想，哟， 那是一张一美元的钞票，你们大家。

然后我就 就像，等一下。

让我尝试付出更多。所以 那我就给五美元。

然后我就想， 哇哦。让我尝试 20 个。

这太多了， 让我给20美元。

二十美元 是很多钱。

尤其是当您 在纽约市苦苦挣扎。

但我刚刚开始付出更多，

这允许 我会收到更多，

如果你能找到一个区域 你可以奉献你的生活，

无论它是你的 时间、金钱——这样做，

因为它会 改变你的生活。

我带着我的头。我 不要做出鲁莽的决定。

我不只是 凭空决定

我要这样做。

当我决定要不要脸的时候， 我花了一个月

来权衡，什么 我会从中受益吗？

我会因此失去什么？

然后当我 意识到，不是很多，

然后我冒了这个风险。

但我拿走了我的头 与我一起参与这个过程。

因此，请查看您的所有选项，

当您看到这一点时 优点多于缺点，

那就冒险吧。

有时它 甚至可能并非如此，

但看看所有 考虑的事情。

我感觉很多事情 我一时冲动就这么做了 --

也许不是全部， 但其中有很多人 -

我当时想，我为什么要这么做？

我拥有的东西 为

所做的计划和努力让人更加满意。

对我来说，搬到洛杉矶 当我 18 岁的时候来到安吉利斯，

我并不是一时兴起决定的。

我做出了决定， 我想了想，

我想，好吧， 好吧，我住在哪里？

我该如何出行？

我需要多少钱 一个月？两三个月？

然后有一次我 弄清楚了所有这些，

然后我订了票。

我记得当我 来到洛杉矶，我一直在

看地图 多伦多

如此之多，以至于当我来到这里时， 它就像一个弹出式地图，

因为我知道 一切都在那里，

因为我学习了 里面和外面的地图。

我有时感觉自己像人 滥用这个词来扼杀梦想，

他们就像，是 实用。求实。

我想，只要

它就不会停止 你不要尝试。

我认为还有更多价值 尝试某件事并失败

比根本没有尝试。

财务习惯 我住在纽时培养的

约克，25 岁了 --

我花了那么多时间 很想弄清楚，

然后我仍然 需要弄清楚——

是为了节省 10% 我赚到的一切。

还有那个 改变了我的银行账户。

每次我收到 检查一下，是否是 200 美元，

是 2,000 美元，我总是拿 10% 并存入储蓄，

，我没有动它。

我记得我保存时 第一次 10,000 美元，

我当时想，这是什么 生活？这是 YouTube 出现之前的事。

我当时想，我 赚了这么多钱，

，每次我 投入更多的钱，

就这么多了 珍贵的想要拿出来。

一开始，它 就像，无论如何，无论如何，

但后来它开始 成长，我就像，该死的。

因此，如果您可以学习 开始某件事

并坚持到底的纪律，你就会 对你最终的结果感到惊讶。

这需要时间，但没什么 值得一夜之间来。

我认为这非常重要， 再说一次，嘘，

，不要脸。

这意味着 脱离社交媒体。

您必须取消 消除所有噪音，

因为社交媒体非常 声音很大，而且会分散注意力。

这就是 你可以牺牲来获得。

遵守以下方面的纪律 你滚动了多少。

如果您可以预留一定的 一天中的时间量，或者，

这是唯一的时间范围 你浏览社交媒体

——并利用它来获得灵感

并标记 激励你的事情。

如果您正在关注某人 我建议谁会触发你

你取消关注他们。

这不是针对个人的。

我必须自己做这件事，

有些人接受了 个人的，因为他们会说，

哦，你是个仇恨者。

我想，也许吧！ 也许我是一个仇恨者。

这就是为什么我 需要停止关注，

，因为我讨厌我的生活 当我审视你的生活之后。

这让我感觉 某种方式，

和最好的事情 我要做的就是不遵循。

我讨厌这个人吗？不。

但那是 对自己诚实真实。

一旦您可以 对自己诚实，您可以

采取必要的行动 照顾好自己。

我得到了三个，他们 将它们称为三个 C，

，第一个是内容。

你在那里发布什么？

这是信息吗 您会觉得有帮助吗？

这是信息吗 或您喜欢的内容

与您的想法 其他人会喜欢吗？

然后是一致性，

与何时一致 您发帖，您发帖的频率。

以及社交方式 媒体运行取决于算法。

所以如果你想成为 插入该算法，

保持一致 会对此有所帮助。

然后是第三个 是号召性用语。

询问您的观看者或 人们跟随你

去做某事，而且是 不是一种浮夸的要求。

就像，您越多 可以考虑问

或以下问题 你要写，

越个性化， 来自您的信息越真实，

您的读者或用户参与度越高 您的关注者将

想要回复。

三个 C。

我给你的建议 观看的嘘声，

无论你是否 18 岁， 无论您是否 55 岁，

我都会说无论发生过什么 权衡你的心要做的事，

迈出第一步并去做，

这是否意味着 写下你的目标 --

我很喜欢 把事情写下来。

我是女王 餐巾纸上写字。

我会在餐巾纸上写东西， 我的表兄弟会保留它，

，然后他们会把它拉出来。

他们就像， 玛雅，看看我发现了什么！

这就像，该死的。我 写道。它发生了。

其中之一是，我会 五年内居住在纽约或洛杉矶

。

然后我 实际上这两件事都做到了。

我有一本日记 那是 15 岁，

以及所有的事情 我在那本日记中写道，

我正在外面生活，这太疯狂了。

所以我认为写东西 下来绝对是强大的。

我鼓励您 把你拥有的生活

塑造出来 进入你想要的生活。

我并非生来就有 钱。我出身贫寒。

我是单亲妈妈出生的 抚养我和一个兄弟

和我 尊敬我的榜样，

激励我的人，

耶稣、格蕾丝·琼斯和 李小龙是几个大人物。

我拿了一些东西 他们生活的一部分，

，我允许了 为了激励我的

，我塑造了 我想要的生活，

，我很幸运 有一个爱我

、关心我的妈妈 这让我充满了积极性，

保护我免受邪恶的侵害 那是在世界上。

信仰和信仰以及 信心来自于做。

你必须这么做。你 必须摆脱你的头脑。

我可以整天活在自己的脑子里。

这些我都可以拥有 绝妙而惊人的想法。

但这并不意味着 如果我实际上没有

采取行动就太糟糕了 背后做它。

更加专注于您所做的事情 从 A 到 B 需要做的事情

与某人可以做的事情 帮助您从 A 地到达 B 地。

我感觉很多 的人在观看我的视频时

受到启发，

然后他们向我发送了 发电子邮件并向我寻求帮助。

大家 千禧一代被你的要求宠坏了

X、Y 和 Z 的帮助，

就像， 你需要先帮助你

，然后才能期待 来自其他人的帮助。

将会是 当有人这样做时，就会更强大

进入你的世界，

因为当你开始 向前迈出这些步伐，

宇宙，上帝， 不管你想怎么称呼它

都会开始带人来 进入你的世界和你的圈子

来帮助你一路走来，

而你却没有 甚至不得不问这个。

不要放弃。

在这个时代 生活、梦想、梦想远大。

moi 的下一步是什么 还有我的无耻？

我有一个制作办公室，好吗？

所以我想采取 这个办公室和这个员工

以及我们的愿景 拥有并继续发展这一点。

为您提供的一些具体信息 伙计们——一场有剧本的表演。

我们正在努力 商店的商品。

其他城市有更多活动。

并且继续 启发你的同时也启发你。

那是我的事 在我的愿景板上写下，

，大概是 10 年前。

并记住要做的 你，嘘。我的意思是做。

并且不要无耻。

What up, beautiful people?

It is your homegirl, Ms. Shameless,

all up in her House of Shameless.

This is my production office.

It's been five years since I started my YouTube channel.

Five. Years.

I was throwing a five-year anniversary party

here in Los Angeles if you live here.

You can come alone. You can make friends.

But I had this event last year,

and people leave making friends.

You guys get to network and have fun.

And it's a totally inspiring, just super-cute, fun event.

Amy Pham, deejay Amy Pham and Min Pham

are going to be spinning the turntables.

I have special guests that are going to be popping up.

Get your tickets before it sells out.

Link is in the description box below.

About five years ago, it was in my house,

and it wasn't very shameless, and it was in New York City.

Happy Birthday to me.

Happy Birthday to us for doing this together.

A big thing in my life was, I was always a quiet person.

I was always shy.

But I had a lot of energy and creativity bottled up.

But because I was too ashamed to let that out,

I kept it quiet and held it back.

If younger Maya saw this Maya today, she'd be really happy,

because I used to always be inspired by

big, shameless personalities, because I was never that.

I was always quiet.

I was shameless with my cousins, but that was it.

I asked myself the question, what would happen

if I shamelessly promoted myself online?

My goodness, what was wrong with me?

I came up with it, and I filmed a video,

and I did that in New York at this art collective

I used to be a part of called Con Artist,

and this is a video.

Hi guys, my name is Maya,

and I'm a New York City-based artist

living in New York City.

I want to learn how to put myself out there.

I formulated this challenge, this social media experiment.

What would happen if I shamelessly self-promoted myself

for 365 days of the year?

It really came about because I was an artist,

and I was full of shame, and I liked to hide my work.

I focused on being a perfectionist.

I focused on being better but never putting myself out there.

And when my friend had suggested that I go on YouTube,

I thought it was tacky; I thought it was shameless.

And I was like, you know what, girl,

I don't even know why I'm acting like this.

I have nothing to lose. And I literally had nothing to lose.

The older you get, the more you realize

or hopefully you realize that this is your life,

and you get one chance to live it.

A lot of my shame came from my upbringing.

I was raised in a strict Catholic Filipino household.

And my mom always taught me to be humble and don't be loud.

Just tone it down. Just dim it down. Tone it down.

And maybe I wouldn't define it as shame then,

but I think being humble can develop into being ashamed

because you have to reserve yourself.

You can't be loud. You can't be bold. You can't be shameless.

So some of the things I was ashamed of was my work.

Namely, I have a background in photography and acting,

and it was so awkward for me to put myself out there,

to promote the craft that I studied,

the craft that I worked really hard at,

and to tell people, like, hey, I do this. Look at it.

And even more so than that, give me money

so I can give you this service.

And it's just like, that's really hard for an artist.

I think a lot of artists struggle with that.

And yes, artists are people, but I specifically had this video

and this challenge for artists originally.

But obviously it's open to everyone.

You don't need to be afraid.

And I feel that our fears come from an insecurity

of us judging ourselves, of others judging ourself --

I think it's that insecurity of the fear of what others think

overlaps with the concept of shame.

So doing you means to do, to create, to make,

to get out of your head and actually do something,

but being shameless means putting yourself out there

so it can be celebrated with other people.

This is not like a loner

like I'm living my life by myself for myself,

because we live in a community with people,

and at the end of the day, yes, we want to be accepted,

so it's a balance of doing what feeds your soul

while involving other people into the conversation.

When I said I'm going to be shameless,

people say, when is the moment that that happened for you?

And it literally happened when I said that.

When I said, I'm going to be shameless.

It was just me making a declaration.

I remember walking into work,

and I was working at a bar in New York, cocktail serving,

and I remember I felt really happy.

It was like a big weight had been lifted,

because I made a promise to myself,

and I had steps in place on what I needed to do

to be shameless.

And I didn't know where it was going to take me,

but I knew that giving myself permission online

bled and fed in other ways.

But the concept of being shameless

really came into play when I was going through my divorce,

and I wanted to stay in a marriage

because I was ashamed of disappointing my family,

disappointing my friends.

And I'm like, girl, you can't contradict the lifestyle

that you've created for yourself.

You can't contradict the declaration

you made to be shameless.

You're with someone that doesn't even want to be with you,

so why are you hanging on for dear life?

So don't be ashamed of the backlash from other people.

How are you really feeling?

When I was honest with myself,

I was able to make a decision and move forward.

It's hard living with what you think

other people think of you and what you think of yourself.

There's so much pressure that we put on ourselves

based on judgment and shame.

And the minute you can let go of that,

it will transform your life.

And so even though it was an online declaration

to promote myself online,

promoting yourself just means to grow yourself.

And that applies in every area of your life.

I would say moving out of my house was

one of many shameless acts,

and that happened well before this challenge.

And I was 18.

And it taught me independence,

and it taught me to be responsible.

But it also taught me to put myself out there,

because I moved from Toronto to Los Angeles,

and I had to figure things out,

and I didn't have anyone to lean on to help me get somewhere

or help me get something.

I couldn't ask them or expect them to do that for me.

So I had to be shameless, in a sense,

and ask for a job, ask for a place to stay.

That prepared me for my shameless milestone

over a decade later and moving back to LA.

This time I'm living in my dream loft

when previously I had been struggling to pay rent, both

as a teenager and while living in the 'hood in New York City.

That's a full-circle moment, for sure.

Definitely a huge milestone on my shameless journey

would have to be working with Prince.

He found me on YouTube because I was shameless

and became a fan of my photography.

I ended up going with him on the road

when he performed at concerts, when he performed in his home.

And finally, his album cover for Artificial Age,

and for a young girl who dreamed of

having a small column in a magazine

to having the images appear in Times Square

and all across the world --

would have to top my list of shameless acts,

working with the prince of shamelessness.

Let me just look at my YouTube channel.

The first one was definitely uploading a video.

That was the most terrifying thing I'd ever done.

I bawled my eyes out after I uploaded it, because

I was so afraid and ashamed of what people would think.

That actually happened for the first three videos.

Oh, my natural curly hair routine --

that was another shameless act,

because I put myself in a shower, naked.

I was naked. I didn't have a bikini. I was naked.

So that was very shameless, and at the time

people weren't filming tutorials in their showers.

Crashing New York Fashion Week

was a big shameless milestone for me.

I showed up with security guards.

You can watch the video here. But that was very shameless.

And then of course shaving my hair live on YouTube

was a definite shameless act.

And following that, coming out with a single,

a rap single on iTunes with words written by yours truly

on what it means to be shameless was shameless.

♪ Stay in the game, playin' the game, ♪

♪ with no name, just for shame, no claim to fame. ♪

♪ Break the rules, showin' these fools ♪

♪ it's the dawn of the new school. ♪

♪ We will -- ♪

Shameless doesn't necessarily have to be loud, fierce, bold,

but it could also be things that

you're just ashamed or afraid to do.

So for me, asking help from other people --

that's a big thing for me.

And for me to work in a production office

with a team of people, it was and still is hard for me

to ask for people to do things,

because I'm still in this mindset of, do it yourself.

You can do it. You can figure it out.

Don't put that on someone else.

I'm like, girl, what you paying them for?

And it was just being able to keep going.

Yes, it was encouraging to have positive

feedback and comments online,

but to be able to see something through week after week,

it boosted my confidence.

Like, you've done this for one week.

You've done this for two weeks.

The more you do it, the better you'll get.

So my confidence came from just doing it more.

In order to gain, you have to give up.

There has to be some sort of sacrifice.

It could be your firstborn, your dog -- I'm joking.

For me, it had to be something

that was taking up an area of my life.

So celibacy was one thing that I sacrificed

in order to gain and grow,

and I'm not kidding you -- listen --

I got the videos online to prove it,

but three years ago my life was very different,

and then I made a promise to abstain from sex in my life.

Because I gave that one area up, I was able to excel in work.

So I'm not necessarily telling people

to be abstinent, be celibate,

but if there's an area in your life

that you can give and sacrifice, do that.

Me learning about sacrifice came from reading the Bible.

Giving, sacrificially, money --

at church I'd always give like a dollar, thinking --

I was like, yo, that's a dollar bill, y'all.

And then I was like, wait a minute.

Let me try to give more. So then I'd give five dollars.

And then I'm like, whoa. Let me try 20.

This is a lot, for me to give $20.

Twenty dollars is a lot of money.

Especially when you're struggling in New York City.

But I just started to give more,

and that allowed me to receive more,

and if you can find an area of your life where you can give,

whether it's your time, money -- do that,

because it will transform your life.

I take my head with me. I don't make rash decisions.

I don't just decide out of thin air

that I'm going to do this.

When I decided to be shameless, it had taken me a month

to weigh out, what would I gain from this?

What would I lose from this?

And then when I realized, not a whole lot,

then I took that risk.

But I took my head with me in the process.

So look at all your options,

and when you see that there's more pros than cons,

then go ahead and take a risk.

And sometimes it might not even be the case,

but look at all things considered.

I feel like a lot of the things that I've done on impulse --

maybe not all of them, but a good handful of them --

I was like, why'd I do that?

The things that I've planned and worked towards

have been way more satisfying.

For me, moving to Los Angeles when I was 18,

I didn't decide it on a whim.

I made the decision, and I thought about it,

and I'm like, okay, well, where would I live?

How would I get around?

How much money would I need for a month? Two, three months?

And then once I figured all of that out,

then I booked a ticket.

I remember when I came to LA, I had been

reading the maps so much in Toronto

that when I came here, it was like a pop-up map,

because I knew where everything was,

because I studied that map inside and out.

I sometimes feel like people misuse that word to kill dreams,

and they're like, be practical. Be realistic.

And I'm like, so long as

it doesn't stop you from attempting.

I think there's more value in trying something and failing

than not having tried at all.

A financial habit that I cultivated

when I was living in New York, which was 25 years old --

it took me that long to figure it out,

and then I still need to figure it out --

was to save 10% of everything I earned.

And that transformed my bank account.

Every time I got a check, whether it was for $200,

for $2,000, I always took 10% and put it in a savings,

and I didn't touch it.

I remember when I saved $10,000 for the first time,

I was like, what is life? This was before YouTube.

I was like, I made all this money,

and every time I put more money in,

it was that much more precious to want to take out.

And in the beginning, it was like, whatever, whatever,

but then it started to grow, and I'm like, damn.

So if you can learn the discipline to start something

and see it through, you'll be surprised where you end up.

And it takes time, but nothing worth having comes overnight.

I think it's really important, again, to do you, boo,

and be shameless.

And that means unplugging from social media.

You have to cancel out all the noise,

because social media is very loud, and it's a distraction.

And that's something that you can sacrifice to gain.

Be disciplined in terms of how much you're scrolling.

If you can set aside a certain amount of time in a day, or,

this is the only time frame that you go through social media

-- and using it to be inspired,

and flag the things that inspire you.

If you're following someone who kind of triggers you,

I would suggest that you unfollow them.

And it's nothing personal.

And I had to do that for myself,

and some people took it personal, because they're like,

oh, you're a hater.

I'm like, perhaps! Perhaps I am a hater.

And that's why I need to stop following,

because I hate my life after I look at your life.

It makes me feel some type of way,

and the best thing for me to do is not follow.

Do I hate this person? No.

But that's being honest and real with myself.

And once you can be honest with yourself, you can

take the actions necessary to take care of yourself.

I got three, they call them the three C's,

and the first one is Content.

What are you putting out there?

Is this information that you would find helpful?

Is this information or content that you like

versus what you think other people would like?

Then there's Consistency,

being consistent with when you post, how often you post.

And the way social media runs is on algorithms.

So if you want to be plugged into that algorithm,

being consistent will help with that.

And then the third is Call to action.

Asking your viewers or the people that are following you

to do something, and it's not a kind of flamboyant ask.

It's like, the more you can think about the ask

or the question that you're going to write,

the more personal, the more real it is from you,

the more engaged your readers or your followers are going to be

to want to respond.

Three C's.

My advice for you boos that are watching,

whether you're 18, whether you're 55,

I would say whatever has been weighing on your heart to do,

take the first step and do it,

whether that means writing your goal down --

and I'm big on writing things down.

I'm the queen of the napkin-writing.

I would write things on napkins, and my cousins would keep it,

and then they would pull it out.

They're like, Maya, look what I found!

And it's just like, damn. I wrote that. And it happened.

One of them was, I will be living in New York or LA

within five years.

And then I literally did both of those.

I have a journal that's 15 years old,

and all of the things that I wrote in that journal,

I'm living out, and it's insane.

So I think that writing things down is definitely powerful.

I encourage you to take the life that you have

and mold it and shape it into the life that you want.

I wasn't born with money. I was born poor.

I was born with a single mother raising me, and a brother,

and I literally looked up to my role models,

the people that inspired me,

Jesus, Grace Jones and Bruce Lee being a few big ones.

And I took bits and pieces of their life,

and I allowed it to inspire mine,

and I shaped the life that I wanted,

and I was so fortunate to have a mom that loved me

and that cared for me and that pumped me with positivity,

protected me from the evil that is out there in the world.

Belief and faith and confidence comes from doing.

You have to do it. You have to get out of your head.

I can live in my head all day.

I can have all these brilliant and amazing ideas.

But that doesn't mean shit if I'm not actually

putting the action behind it to do it.

Be more focused on what you need to do to get from A to B

versus what someone can do to help you get from A to B.

And I feel like a lot of people get inspired

when they watch my videos,

and then they send me an email and ask me for help.

All y'all Millennials are spoiled

with your asking for help for X, Y and Z,

and it's just like, you need to help you

before you can expect help from other people.

And it will be that much more powerful

when somebody does come into your world,

because when you start taking those steps forward,

the universe, God, whatever you want to call it

will start bringing people into your world and your circle

to help you along the way,

and you didn't even have to ask that.

Don't give up.

This is the day and age to live and dream and dream big.

What's next for moi and my shamelessness?

I got a production office, okay?

So I want to take this office and this staff

and the visions that we have and continue to grow that.

Some specifics for you guys -- a scripted show.

We're working on our merchandise for the store.

More events in other cities.

And just continuing to be inspired while inspiring you.

That was something I wrote down on my vision board,

like, 10 years ago.

And remember to do you, boo. And I mean do.

Do something, okay? Don't just say it. Do it.

And be shameless.

重点语法结构

• What up, beautiful people?

  ➔ 疑问句片段/省略

  ➔ 这是一个口语化的问候语，起着非正式问题的作用。完整的问题是“怎么了？”，但为了风格效果而缩短。省略号表示省略的词语。

• I was throwing a five-year anniversary party here in Los Angeles if you live here.

  ➔ 条件句（类型1）

  ➔ 这句话使用了第一类条件句：“If + 一般现在时，will + 动词原形”。它表达了一种真实的可能性。'if' 从句设定了条件（住在洛杉矶），主句描述了结果（参加派对）。

• I was always a quiet person.

  ➔ 过去进行时/过去式与状态动词

  ➔ “was”与“always”的使用强调了习惯性的过去行为。“quiet”是一个状态动词，描述一种存在状态，但在这里用于描述一个持久的特征。“always”强化了持续的性格特征这一概念。

• I asked myself the question, what would happen if I shamelessly promoted myself online?

  ➔ 间接疑问句

  ➔ 这是一个间接疑问句。与其直接问“会发生什么？”，不如将问题嵌入到陈述句“我问自己这个问题……”中。词序从直接疑问句（would happen）变为类似陈述句的结构（would happen）。

• I came up with it, and I filmed a video, and this is a video.

  ➔ 用“and”进行并列

  ➔ 这句话通过使用连词“and”连接三个独立分句来展示并列。这创造了一种列表或顺序事件的感觉。“and”的重复在风格上是非正式的，并强调了动作的进展。
