HOW to COOPERATE with LIFE| Mel Rentmeister

The speaker addresses feelings of unfairness and dissatisfaction with life, suggesting that these stem from a mindset of victimhood and mistrust. They argue that life reflects one's internal state, and by adopting a cooperative, rather than adversarial, relationship with life, individuals can transform their experiences. The speaker emphasizes shifting focus from what life owes to what one can contribute, promoting a mindset of giving and serving. This change in perspective, they claim, leads to positive, transformative experiences. The speaker encourages experimenting with this approach to witness personal and relational improvements.

• Many individuals feel that life is unfair or that they are not receiving the rewards they deserve.
• People often perceive others as being luckier or happier, leading to feelings of inadequacy or unfair treatment.
• The speaker aims to address these feelings and provide solutions for change.

"If you have the feeling that the world isn't treating you right or that you're not getting out of this life what you're supposed to get, if you have the feeling that you are not really being rewarded in this life for maybe what you have gone through, or that some other people always seem to get lucky but not you, and that other people seem to find happiness and you can't, then this video is for you."

• This quote sets the stage for discussing feelings of unfairness and lack of fulfillment in life.

• A lack of self-worth can lead to pushing away positive experiences and attracting negative ones.
• Feeling unworthy can create a barrier to accessing life's happiness, health, love, and joy.
• Recognizing one's subconscious feelings of unworthiness is crucial for change.

"You may subconsciously feel unworthy of receiving that, and this is one way that you push actually those experiences away, the positive ones, and you hold on and attract the negative ones."

• The quote highlights how subconscious feelings of unworthiness can influence one's experiences and perceptions of life.

• Life mirrors the attitude and vibrations individuals project.
• Approaching life with mistrust or feeling that life owes something can lead to negative reflections.
• Understanding that life reflects one's own energy and vibrations is key to changing experiences.

"If you are going through life feeling life is your enemy, feeling life is mean, thinking life is mean, thinking you need to protect yourself from life because you don't know what's going to come next, so you better let life know I'm guarded, I'm shielded, I'm not fully trusting, I'm actually mistrusting of whatever it is you want to do to me."

• This quote explains how a defensive and mistrustful attitude towards life can result in negative experiences and reflections.

• The way you perceive and interact with life mirrors how you would with a person; trust and positivity are crucial for a fulfilling relationship.
• Many people mistakenly believe they have no control over life, viewing themselves as passive participants rather than active influencers.
• Life and consciousness are interconnected; your internal state significantly affects your external experiences.
• A victim mentality or fear-based approach to life will result in experiences that reinforce those feelings.
• Empowerment comes from altering your perspective, focusing on cooperation and alliance with life rather than expectation and mistrust.

"If you have a relationship with a person now, if you show this person and tell this person all the time that you mistrust them, you don't believe them, you don't like them, you don't know if they're going to hurt you or not, you are afraid of them, you fear them, do you really think that you could have a positive loving joyful expansive relationship with them? No."

• This quote highlights the importance of trust and positivity in relationships, drawing a parallel to how one should approach life.

"Your approach to life sets kind of the parameters or the basis for how life will be able to interact with you, and that's what many people miss."

• Emphasizes that one's attitude towards life determines how life responds to them, challenging the misconception of being powerless.

"Everything happens within Consciousness, and the same Consciousness that is you is also life, so you can actually absolutely influence what the world, what life, what your experiences are going to be."

• Suggests that consciousness is the common ground between an individual and life, empowering individuals to shape their experiences.

"If you feel like you're in victim mode, if you feel like you're in fear and you don't trust people, the world, that's what you will get back."

• Warns that a negative mindset will attract negative experiences, reinforcing the notion of self-fulfilling prophecies.

"How do you empower yourself again? You stop focusing on what life is not giving you."

• Encourages shifting focus from lack to empowerment by changing one's relationship with life from one of expectation to cooperation.

"You cannot experience being loved and being joyfully celebrated if this is not what you're putting out."

• Stresses that the energy and attitudes one projects influence the kind of experiences and relationships they attract.

• The speaker emphasizes the importance of changing one's perspective from expecting things from life to cooperating with life.
• This involves moving from a mindset of seeing life as an enemy to seeing it as a friend.
• The shift encourages individuals to focus on what they can contribute to life rather than what they can extract from it.

"Not only are you going to shift your perspective from expectation to cooperation with life from enemy to friend relationship with life."

• The quote highlights the need for a fundamental change in how one interacts with life, promoting a more harmonious and reciprocal relationship.

• The speaker suggests a shift in focus from personal desires to what one can give to the world.
• This transformation involves starting each day with the question of what one can contribute rather than what one can receive.
• Such a change in mindset is said to lead to significant positive transformations in one's life.

"I guarantee you once you start your day with this thought what can I give to the world today not what can the world give me today seriously genuinely if this is how you start living your life your life will change in miraculous wonderful ways."

• The quote underscores the transformative power of adopting a giving mindset, promising profound and positive changes in life.

• The speaker encourages individuals to assess whether they are contributing to various aspects of life, including family, community, and work.
• This involves evaluating one's contribution to the vibrational field, hobbies, and seemingly external entities.
• The emphasis is on the act of giving and sharing one's resources and talents.

"Am I giving life everything I have or that I have to offer am I giving this to the world am I giving it to my neighbors am I giving it to my family members am I giving it to into the vibrational field am I giving it into my work or my hobbies my pastimes anything what's out there seemingly outside from me what is it I'm giving actually what is it you are giving."

• The quote encourages self-reflection on one's contributions to various spheres of life, promoting a holistic approach to giving.

• Recognizing past self-centered behaviors or victim mentality is seen as a positive step toward change.
• The speaker advises against self-judgment for past behaviors and instead suggests celebrating the newfound awareness.
• This self-awareness is viewed as a catalyst for immediate and positive change.

"If you notice this now I want one thing from you do not enter the false pattern of judging yourself then so do not judge yourself for maybe having been in victim mode for so long and feeling Justified to be in the victim mode for so long but rather celebrate right now that you recognize this because this means you can change it instantly."

• The quote emphasizes the importance of self-compassion and the potential for immediate transformation upon recognizing past limiting patterns.

• The speaker emphasizes the significance of starting each day with the intention of giving or serving others rather than focusing on personal gain or self-protection.
• Small, unseen acts of kindness and service can have a profound impact on one's own happiness and the happiness of others.
• Shifting one's mindset from being a victim to being a contributor can lead to a more joyful and abundant life.
• The speaker encourages experimenting with this change in mindset to observe positive, transformative changes in life.

"This one thought in mind and you don't even have to have an answer yet: What is it I can give today, or in other words, how can I serve today?"

• The speaker introduces the central theme of the discussion: starting the day with the intention of giving or serving.

"It doesn't have to be big things. You don't have to create miracles or save lives. It can be something really small every day."

• Emphasizes that acts of giving or service do not need to be grand gestures; small, daily actions are equally valuable.

"Your intention is no longer I go through my day trying to see what I can get from life or trying to find out what situations do I need to protect myself from."

• Highlights the shift from a self-centered mindset to one focused on giving and serving.

"If you see yourself as a friend of the world or of life and life as yours, if you no longer see yourself as the victim who is being denied what's rightfully his or hers."

• Encourages viewing oneself as a contributor rather than a victim, fostering a sense of belonging and purpose.

"The more you share what you have to give... you're contributing to a more prosperous, a more abundant, a more joyful world."

• Suggests that sharing one's talents and gifts contributes to a better world and, in turn, brings joy and abundance back to oneself.

"I guarantee you this, and I'm not saying believe me. Do not ever believe anyone just like that. Always test it, try it."

• The speaker urges listeners to experiment with this mindset shift to witness its potential benefits firsthand.

"Become more and more unconditional and non-judgmental and see what changes because my guarantee is things will change for the better."

• Encourages adopting an unconditional and non-judgmental approach to life, promising positive changes as a result.

"Let me know in the comments below even let me know in a few days or weeks if you have tried this and what has changed."
