Bonfire and Family with Yokoi Kenji (En/ Es)

in YouHivelast month




EN

I am a regular visitor of several platforms where the theme are videos more than anything else; but for my taste not just any kind of videos are the ones I usually watch, I go more for those that leave me something positive, that lead me to reflect and give me different points of view different from mine and I have been pleasantly surprised, because I have come across videos of people who along with seeing their videos have left me hooked, by the way they express themselves and what they transmit and one of my favorites is the speaker [Yokoi Kenji](https: //joannaborges. com/doer-by-nature-yokoi-kenji-disciplined-purposeful-disciplined-speaker/)

I got him on one of my favorite platforms YouTube, by chance I saw one of his videos and I was captivated by the way in which in a very simple way he presents the realities of life in a clear and simple way, leading you to personal reflection, in a very human, empathetic and even funny way. I became addicted to his videos because something of what he said always connected with my personal life in some way and that makes me identify with him; maybe because of his Latin and Japanese roots, that mix definitely attracts.

I remember that the video I am going to share with you, I started watching it because it was simply his and I anticipated it would be interesting and I was not wrong. He started talking about the difference between family and home. At first I thought it would be something more than what I had heard out there, but it was not. He gave the example of a bonfire, which was the home that we make with our partners and the family was the blood family, mother, father, siblings... I had never thought of it that way; then he explained what we should be clear about, which is a priority principle, and that is that when we get married, we start to form our own families, our own bonfires.

He explains something that I thought I was clear about, but when I heard it I realized that it was not so... he says that we tend to try to help our relatives, many times exposing ourselves to nothing, without realizing that we are not really helping them, and we are not really helping ourselves either. Because the main thing is to take care of our fire (our family made up of our partner and children), to take care of our own fire, so that we can then give a little of that fire to others. This led me to reflect and it is something perhaps cultural as he himself says, because since we were little we have heard, “here we can all live” or “you have to help your brother, aunt...” Because they are family and, many times, you don't even have enough for yourself.

That touched me personally a lot, because many times I saw myself at that crossroads, between my home, husband and children and my family; many times I felt guilty for not being able to help them more, in others I stopped doing necessary things or put up with other circumstances in my own home to maintain “peace” in the family, generating a tense and uncomfortable environment. I was going through all this in my life when I heard this message and it brought me to my center and to understand that if I am not well, I cannot help others. I hope it is helpful to you as well.

Soy asidua visitante de varias plataformas donde la temática son de videos más que todo; pero para mi gusto no cualquier tipo de videos son los que suelo ver, me voy más por aquellos que me dejen algo positivo, que me lleven a reflexionar y me den diferentes puntos de vista diferentes al mío y me he llevado gratas sorpresas, pues me he topado con videos de personas que junto con ver sus videos me han dejado enganchada, por la forma en que se expresan y por lo que nos transmiten y uno de mis preferidos es el conferencista Yokoi Kenji

A él lo conseguí en una de mis plataformas favoritas YouTube, por casualidad vi uno de sus videos y quede prendada por la forma en que de una manera muy simple te plantea las realidades dela vida de una forma clara y sencilla, llevándote a la reflexión personal, de una manera muy humana, empática y hasta divertida. Me volví adicta a sus videos porque siempre algo de lo que decía se conectaba con mi vida personal de alguna manera y eso me hace identificarme con él; quizá por sus raíces latinas y japonesas, esa mezcla definitivamente atrae.

Recuerdo que el video que les voy a compartir, lo empecé viendo porque sencillamente era de él y ya anticipaba, sería interesante y no me equivoque. Empezó hablando de la diferencia entre familia y hogar. Al principio pensé que sería algo más de lo que había oído por ahí, pero no fue así. Puso como ejemplo a una hoguera, que venía a ser el hogar que nosotros constituimos con nuestras parejas y la familia era la sanguínea, madre, padre, hermanos... nunca me lo había planteado de esa manera; entonces ahí plantea lo que debemos tener claro, que es un principio prioritario y es que cuando nos casamos, pasamos a formar nuestras propias familias, nuestras propias hogueras.

Él explica algo que yo creía tener claro, pero que al oírlo me di cuenta de que no era así... pues él dice que nosotros tendemos a tratar de ayudar a nuestros familiares, muchas veces exponiéndonos a quedarnos en la nada, sin darnos cuenta de que así ni los ayudamos a ellos realmente, ni nos ayudamos nosotros tampoco. Porque lo principal es cuidar nuestra hoguera (nuestra familia constituida por nuestra pareja e hijos), cuidar nuestro propio fuego, para poder luego dar un poco de ese fuego a los demás. Esto me llevó a reflexionar y es algo quizá cultural como él mismo lo dice, pues desde pequeños hemos oído, "aquí podemos vivir todos" o "tienes que ayudar a tu hermano, tía…" Porque son familia y, muchas veces, no tienes ni para ti mismo.

Eso me toco mucho personalmente, porque muchas veces me vi en esa encrucijada, entre mi hogar, esposo e hijos y mi familia; muchas veces me sentía culpable de no poder ayudarles más, en otras dejaba de hacer cosas necesarias o soportaba otras circunstancias en mi propia casa para mantener la "paz" en la familia, generando un ambiente tenso e incómodo. Todo esto lo estaba transitando en mi vida para cuando oí este mensaje y este me llevó a mi centro y a entender que si yo no estoy bien, no puedo ayudar a los demás. Espero que sea de ayuda también para ustedes.



Agradezco a mi bella amiga @aibi93, por su invitación a participar en esta iniciativa; acá les dejo el Enlace, para quienes deseen participar; invito en especial a mis amigas @annafenix y @evev.

I loved your post and I agree with you Yokoi Kenji is amazing, I also watch his videos and follow him on various platforms. Precisely that video where he talks about the family I also realized I was wrong about several things and her example made me understand many things and she is absolutely right. Thank you very much for sharing ☺️🙏🏽

Well, there are two of us who found this video useful! He is great, besides being a very prepared man also spiritually and that is important. Thanks for your visit🤗

What an interesting video and interesting topic, it is true that first you have to start with yourself and your close family and then help others, then that comes on its own. Thank you very much for participating and being part of the YouHive community, thank you very much!🤗

Thanks You 💞

I had never thought about the difference between family and home in that way and now that I think about it, it makes a lot of sense. Family is our blood or heart family and home is what we build when we grow up and become responsible adults. I loved the example of the bonfire, it makes very clear that difference that few of us have it clear 🙏

There are things that we think we had it "right" but then you realize, if it makes you feel bad it's not and this is proof that it is. He explains it very simply. Thanks for your visit🌹

A thousand thanks to you, dear, for encouraging you to participate in this thoughtful initiative. Absolutely true, one cannot take care of both families, the one one forms takes priority. I remember they once told me: You can form your family with your future children and husband and I was ohhh... I thought there was only one type of family (I thought about it a long time ago when I was much younger haha). You reminded me of that. Greetings beautiful.


Mil gracias a vos querida por animarte a participar de esta iniciativa reflexiva. Totalmente cierto, uno no puede hacerse cargo de ambas familias , la que uno forma pasa a tener prioridad . Recuerdo que una vez me dijeron: Vos podes formar tu familia con tus futuros hijos y marido y yo de ohhh... pensé que solo había un tipo de familia (Lo reflexione hace mucho cuando era mucho mas joven jaja). Me hiciste acordar a eso. Saludos bella.


It is food for thought. Hello, sweetie! I'm glad you liked my choice of video. I love him, he is a man of great empathy and wisdom. Blessed greetings!

Es para reflexionar. Hola linda! Me alegra que te haya gustado mi elección de vídeo. A mí el me encanta, es un hombre con una gran empatía y sabiduría. Saludos bendecidos!
