  • Today, I am talking to Trevor Noah. Trevor is the most successful comedian in Africa and is the host of the Emmy and Peabody Award-winning “The Daily Show” on Comedy Central. Under Trevor, “The Daily Show with Trevor Noah” has broken free from the restraints of a 30-minute linear show, producing engaging social content, award-winning digital series, podcasts and more for its global audience. He has written, produced, and starred in 11 comedy specials, including his most recent, “Trevor Noah: Son of Patricia,” which launched in November 2018 on Netflix. He is the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller “Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood” and its young readers adaptation “It’s Trevor Noah: Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood,” which also debuted as a New York Times bestseller.
    Trevor opens the conversation by sharing what it was like growing up, how he sees the rest of the world, and why it felt like it was okay growing up the way he did. We then exchange thoughts and perspectives on topics such as finding the true meaning of having a ‘home’, the type of friends we often surround ourselves with and why, finding independence in a completely new and foreign place, and being mindful of yourself and in one with your inner thoughts.
    What We Discuss:
    00:00:00 Intro
    00:02:18 Same story, same book but different meaning
    00:05:33 Comparing your hardships to others experiences
    00:09:27 “It was not bad because it happened to everyone.”
    00:13:27 Are you forced to be grateful for everything?
    00:19:13 The true definition of the word home
    00:21:39 What is your purpose?
    00:25:19 Who are your friends?
    00:35:43 Becoming unrelatable to people
    00:44:43 How does a monk fire someone?
    00:46:48 What is your idea of safety?
    00:52:30 When’s the best time to walk away?
    00:56:37 Having conversations with yourself
    01:03:37 When you leave home
    01:09:25 The burden our parents unconsciously give us
    01:17:54 The Many Sides to Us
    01:24:03 Trevor on Final Five

      They talk about dying before dying - that is a total letting go and living life in liberation right here. We cannot control it, we just have to gently let go until the "Berlin" wall crumbles and then, I suspect, it will be a new experience of being.

      Smile! I understand!
      However, what Trevor has accomplished, came with a price.
      I grew up in the south, but in a different era than my mom and dad and I still will not want to go thru the challenges of growing up to accomplish his success.
      We as people sometimes want what someone else has, but if we knew their trials and sacrifices made to get it, we’ll say, “Oh no, forget it. I don’t want it!”
      If U are a believer in Christ Jesus, pray and ask God to give all 4 of your sons those characteristics traits; and to give to U as well, if U don’t have them; but a couple of those requests are taught and learned behaviors.
      If U haven’t purchased his book, “Born a Crime” please do.
      Best wishes to U and your sons! ⭕️

      @@linawiers4715 Wise. We have to be careful what we ask for. We just might get it and in ways we didn't want. I know something of that. The hand of God is mighty.
      I will add that we do have to remember as parents to allow our children their own challenges and hurdles to overcome, whatever they may be. We mustn't think loving them means giving them everything we didn't get or sparing them hardships of various kinds. Just be there as a guide or to help them recover, hopefully, better for the lesson. And for those reading along, I'm not talking about standing back and letting extreme things happen to our children, lest anyone go there. We are, of course, to protect our children as best as we can and when necessary, but only when appropriate to the age and developmental ability of each child. Then the question comes, "How do we do this?" Perhaps like you, I learned the discernment needed for this kind of parenting by studying and practicing biblical principles.🙌🏽 I made no important decisions that impacted my son's life without prayer and consulting the Holy Spirit.
      Thank you for your inspiring comment. 🙏💞
      Best!

    Trevor is self-aware, insightful, mindful, and empathic. To move and grow in life, it's essential that you let go of some things, but it is scary; especially when it is something familiar. Learning how to ask thoughtful questions can result in conversations that go beneath the surface that can promote enlightenment (for the person asking and the person answering the question). Great interview!

I am a teacher, so this was very necessary for me to hear and understand as it will allow me to further reach and teach my students understanding that their primary need (to be safe) means something different to each and every one of them.

    @SowingSeedsWithChristy Před 8 měsíci +3

    Jay, your speaking about people's basic safety needs being met before they can truly receive love is so illuminating. I wish you would teach about the vedic levels you were talking about. As you briefly discussed them they made so much sense. It helped me to see why a certain rlthshp could not work. It wasn't personal. We were just at different levels of receptivity and trust in ourselves and others.
    And Trevor talking about how one person's safety can be amidst chaos and how the calm can feel like chaos was also enlightening. I have felt that way due to the learned drive to kick it into high gear and respond in a crisis bc that's what I knew from my youth. Later I chose to cultivate how to be comfortable with calm as more of a norm and to seek that out in order to become more comfortable with that, over chaos. It's still a practice.
    I'm only midway through the video, but I am truly interested in hearing the rest of this discussion between two men who can see themselves as both the one acting/living and the one who is observing the one who is doing the acting/living.

    When Jay expressed his purpose in life, I felt it. I receive from his interviews exactly what he described on this interview and I never had an idea that it was his purpose. All of those perspectives help me amplify my view of things and even shape them for better. Jay is phenomenal and this interview is great because both of them have such beautiful and optimistic views of life that I love to soak it all in.❤️❤️

    I was a psychotherapist for 30 years and I can fully relate to being seen in only one dimension. A few times in those years a client wanted to be friends after their therapy ended. They could not handle or relate to 360° of me and likewise I could not connect with the whole of them.
    Where people may want/expect Trevor to be funny all the time, my clients thought I would be wise about everything all the time. Perception of people sets the path for the connection or lack of connection.
    The conversation between the two of you was enlightening and special. Thank you.

      We tend to fill an emotional void with something. For some people it is drugs, sex, food, work and countless other things. Recognizing the void is the first step, talking about it out loud with others is the next step. The third step is to try something other than our chosen fix. It will most likely feel strange and unsatisfying in the beginning. But stay with and try several things until something clicks a bit. It takes about two weeks to form a new habit. Be patient with your self, the emotional void you feel is painful. 🌷

    Just wanted to chime in to their conversation about having to be not needing to be grateful for what happened. I think that its not about being grateful for the hard times. It's more about being grateful for the opportunity that it presents. Not saying that sexual abuse and violence are good things because they aren't. Life throws shit at us constantly and most of the times, the shit it throws at us is completely at random. Everyone subjectively goes through their own versions of pain and hardship. But it is important to remember that we aren't defined by the problems and traumas we have experienced in our lives. That is not us, that is not who we are, they are experiences and they are what life has decided to randomly throw at us. Instead I think we are defined by our ability to rise above these circumstances. The harder the circumstance, the greater the opportunity, because to be able to overcome those extremely difficult situations, requires an extreme amount of resilience and faith in ones self to be able to push through and heal from the trauma. So in that sense, it's more about feeling gratitude for the opportunity that each and every circumstance, difficulty or challenge presents to us because we all know that at the end of tunnel there is such a huge amount of potential for us to grow and eventually initiate ourselves into greatness.

Roy Wood Jr actually talked about being lonely after a live show in 2020 when a lot of the celebrities were doing the "ask me anything" highlight on IG?

    This is also an incredible masterclass in vulnerability. True vulnerability doesn't mean sharing ALL life info, facts and timelines yet being artfully open enough to connect through the deepest experience we have lived. Trust is sharing of facts, little details and timelines- give that info away when you've built trust but vulnerability can be practiced with anyone and its quite a foundation for best relationships!

    To protect you from yourself
    On your healing journey
    To play your beat me up song
    over
    Over
    Over again
    Is not your song
    It belongs to your dead parents long gone.
    Your song is
    “Dawn of the Age of Aquarius”
    Dropping envy of others through the lens of vicarious.
    Where forgiveness blooms around your splendor
    Never will fear make you surrender.
    The Dawn is your friend
    The Evening, calming respite
    Now lay your head on my shoulders
    Safely I’ll guide you inner child
    Through every day and every night. “
