I'm standing in my closet. 0:00:57.760 --> 0:01:00.960 I know I have been coming live to you quite 0:01:01.040 --> 0:01:04.399 often here recently from my closet, but as I shared 0:01:04.440 --> 0:01:09.120 with you, a lot of transformation has been happening not 0:01:09.240 --> 0:01:11.200 only in my life before my life, because it's all 0:01:11.240 --> 0:01:13.880 happening for a greater good, right. And I told you 0:01:13.920 --> 0:01:15.880 in a previous episode, I'm watching this new show on 0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:19.440 Apple TV Plus entitled The Big Door Prize, and it 0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:23.160 really got my interest because, well, one first and foremost, 0:01:23.560 --> 0:01:26.720 I got a glimpse that my girl, Gabrielle Dennis. Mind you, 0:01:26.720 --> 0:01:28.600 we probably met once or twice on a red carpet, 0:01:28.600 --> 0:01:31.119 but clearly that's my girl was on the show, which 0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:33.960 nade me want to dive in and see what is 0:01:34.000 --> 0:01:37.120 it about? Well, if you heard the last episode, it's 0:01:37.160 --> 0:01:40.560 about this machine called Morpho that appears in a store 0:01:40.600 --> 0:01:43.600 in a small town called Deerfield that's telling folks their 0:01:43.600 --> 0:01:46.720 life potential. Folks are going in this store putting money in, 0:01:46.800 --> 0:01:50.280 putting their Social Security number in, letting it scan their fingerprints, 0:01:50.280 --> 0:01:54.960 and boom, their life potential is revealed. If you came 0:01:54.960 --> 0:02:00.360 across the machine that could tell you your life potential, would 0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:04.600 you use it? Would you be apprehensive of finding out 0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:08.919 what it is? If you found out your life potential 0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:12.400 is what you're not doing, do you think you would 0:02:12.440 --> 0:02:16.320 have the courage to pursue it? Or better yet, what 0:02:16.360 --> 0:02:20.360 would you do if the card that revealed your life 0:02:20.400 --> 0:02:24.959 potential is what you're doing right now, how would you 0:02:25.000 --> 0:02:27.919 feel about it? Well, these are different scenarios that are 0:02:27.919 --> 0:02:32.040 happening with various individuals within the show. However, what I 0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:35.320 want to highlight on episode three spoiler alert, spoiler alert, 0:02:35.880 --> 0:02:40.080 is about impostor syndrome. Are you familiar with it? I 0:02:40.120 --> 0:02:42.320 feel a lot of us have experienced it or probably 0:02:42.360 --> 0:02:46.079 are experience in it right now. What is imposter syndrome? Well, 0:02:46.080 --> 0:02:48.280 I'm glad you asked. I had to go ahead and 0:02:48.280 --> 0:02:50.040 google it because I know it was about, you know, 0:02:50.280 --> 0:02:52.079 the idea of not feeling like you're good enough or 0:02:52.160 --> 0:02:56.760 understanding your worth. But here's the actual definition. Imposture syndrome 0:02:56.960 --> 0:03:00.119 is defined as an I quote, the condition of feeling 0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:04.639 anxious and not experiencing success internally despite being high performing 0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:09.720 in external and objective ways. Now we see this coming 0:03:09.760 --> 0:03:13.680 out full throttle when the episode opens up or shortly thereafter, 0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:16.640 because it highlights one of the main characters in the show. 0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:19.760 Or Yeah, his name is Jacob. Jacob works at the 0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:23.000 store that the more machine appeared at. He uses the 0:03:23.040 --> 0:03:28.760 machine and he gets the card hero Immediately he rejects 0:03:28.800 --> 0:03:32.399 it like, what is this pause? How many of us 0:03:33.800 --> 0:03:43.200 have or shouldn't say us, Have you ever found yourself 0:03:43.560 --> 0:03:47.520 blocking blessings in your life, whether that be a compliment 0:03:47.640 --> 0:03:50.760 somebody wanted to share with you, Oh I couldn't do that, 0:03:50.760 --> 0:03:54.760 that wasn't me. Whether it was a new opportunity which 0:03:54.800 --> 0:03:57.000 you felt like you weren't ready for because you didn't 0:03:57.000 --> 0:04:03.400 deserve it, or perhaps even sabotaged a relationship of somebody 0:04:03.440 --> 0:04:06.680 that is wanting to love you because you're so used 0:04:06.720 --> 0:04:11.080 to the contrary. That's what I like to define it 0:04:11.120 --> 0:04:14.160 as ways that we are getting in our way, hence 0:04:14.200 --> 0:04:17.279 blocking us from living out our full potential. So here 0:04:17.320 --> 0:04:19.920 comes Jacob, like I said, he's at the store. He 0:04:19.960 --> 0:04:23.400 gets the card Hero. Immediately he's trying to rebuke it, like, oh, 0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:26.640 that's not me, that's not me. The store owner, who 0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:30.640 is uper excited, is like, whoa, let me take your picture. 0:04:31.160 --> 0:04:32.920 Let me take a picture of you and the cart, 0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:37.679 because I'm sure you are going to aspire so many 0:04:37.720 --> 0:04:40.960 other people. Well, let me tell you about Jacob's here 0:04:41.000 --> 0:04:44.760 car giving the term Hero. What we find out in 0:04:44.800 --> 0:04:47.240 the episode is that the principle of the high school 0:04:47.279 --> 0:04:52.680 that he attends Deerfield High School got into a motorcycle accident. 0:04:52.960 --> 0:04:55.680 You may recall I mentioned her in the previous episodes 0:04:55.720 --> 0:04:58.640 where I discussed episodes one and two of the Big 0:04:58.680 --> 0:05:03.159 Door Prize and how the principal her life potential car 0:05:03.279 --> 0:05:06.120 came out as a motorcyclist. So what does she do? 0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:08.200 She went out there and got a motorcycle. Well, in 0:05:08.279 --> 0:05:13.040 episode three, it is revealed that principal pat that's her name, 0:05:13.600 --> 0:05:18.080 got into an accident, and you know who saved her, Jacob. 0:05:19.040 --> 0:05:22.839 Now here's the thing. As soon as Jacob discovered that 0:05:22.920 --> 0:05:25.720 she had went off the road, he dialed nine to 0:05:25.760 --> 0:05:31.320 one one. He goes into class, everybody's congratulating him, like, 0:05:31.400 --> 0:05:34.240 oh my god, she did an amazing job. Even when 0:05:34.279 --> 0:05:37.920 he goes home to see his dad, which their relationship 0:05:37.960 --> 0:05:44.599 was a bit strange due to recent deaths, talking about oh, son, 0:05:44.640 --> 0:05:46.880 you're a hero, old dad. What is this about? Why 0:05:46.920 --> 0:05:49.000 are you talking to me now? Now? Just to give 0:05:49.040 --> 0:05:53.200 you an idea, Jacob is having challenges because he grew 0:05:53.240 --> 0:05:55.600 up in the whole family household. We learned in this 0:05:55.680 --> 0:05:58.560 episode that his mother died a few years ago, and 0:05:58.640 --> 0:06:00.960 which he's carrying the burden of having to be the 0:06:01.040 --> 0:06:04.360 parent for not only himself and his twin brother, but 0:06:04.400 --> 0:06:06.720 taking upon the household because his dad has following a 0:06:06.760 --> 0:06:11.559 deep depression. But hold on, get this, a few months ago, 0:06:12.120 --> 0:06:16.880 his twin brother dies, so that really places the strain 0:06:16.920 --> 0:06:19.359 on the relationship with him and his dad because he 0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:21.280 feels as though he can't communicate with his dad. And 0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:25.120 his brother was the superstar athlete quote unquote, the hero 0:06:25.279 --> 0:06:30.960 of the town that everyone looked up to. So when 0:06:31.080 --> 0:06:34.840 Jacob receives his card that says hero, he has a 0:06:34.880 --> 0:06:38.600 hard time accepting it. Why because in his mind he 0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:41.080 can't measure it out well, you know the quote from 0:06:41.120 --> 0:06:44.840 Marianne Williamson. Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. 0:06:45.520 --> 0:06:49.160 Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. 0:06:50.360 --> 0:06:54.920 Question for you, how do you measure potential? Because you're 0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:59.760 not there yet, you get an idea of how distant 0:06:59.800 --> 0:07:01.799 it is, it is, how grand it is, how large 0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:05.040 it is, how amazing it is. But the reality of 0:07:05.080 --> 0:07:11.720 it is is that oftentimes we haven't necessarily tapped into 0:07:11.760 --> 0:07:14.760 the greatest part. And I feel as though the journey 0:07:14.800 --> 0:07:18.400 of life is all about that. But see when imposter 0:07:18.560 --> 0:07:22.000 syndrome comes in the way it comes almost like a shield. 0:07:22.280 --> 0:07:25.320 The way I imagine in my mind, it's like these 0:07:25.360 --> 0:07:29.240 blessings in the form of rain coming down, and an 0:07:29.240 --> 0:07:34.360 individual experience in imposture syndrome will immediately open up the umbrella, 0:07:35.040 --> 0:07:39.240 feeling as though it is or they are protecting themselves, 0:07:39.280 --> 0:07:45.120 but an actuality blocking the blessings that are raining down 0:07:45.160 --> 0:07:46.960 on them. Now, if you think about it in hindsight, 0:07:47.040 --> 0:07:49.080 I'm just saying this and it's just being revealed to me. 0:07:49.240 --> 0:07:51.800 But oftentimes I feel as though we don't step into 0:07:51.800 --> 0:07:54.920 our new potential or our grand potential, our greatest potential 0:07:55.240 --> 0:08:00.360 because we are trying to protect ourselves. Us tells some 0:08:00.440 --> 0:08:05.720 what Dawn. I'm glad you asked of the unknown, of 0:08:05.760 --> 0:08:10.200 the possibility of more. Why Because we get confined a 0:08:10.280 --> 0:08:13.960 feeling safe in our environment in which we can control, 0:08:14.360 --> 0:08:17.920 not realizing that when we have the courage, the audacity, 0:08:18.000 --> 0:08:21.480 the ambition to step out and grasp and reach for 0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:24.240 our full potential or even get on the brink of 0:08:24.280 --> 0:08:30.760 tapping into it, how many other people we actually inspire. So, 0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:34.960 like I said, here's Jacob going to the school. Congratulations. 0:08:35.440 --> 0:08:38.120 His dad is even enamored about the work that he's doing. 0:08:38.160 --> 0:08:41.480 He really hasn't had a conversation or relationship with his 0:08:41.600 --> 0:08:44.320 dad and which he longs for. And here his dad 0:08:44.400 --> 0:08:47.840 is saying, son, I heard about what you did for 0:08:47.880 --> 0:08:53.360 principal pat. Wow, you're a hero. Congratulations, even calling him 0:08:53.360 --> 0:09:01.280 a nickname that he isn't necessarily used to. Yeah, this 0:09:01.440 --> 0:09:04.240 embrace that he has been longing for for so much 0:09:04.360 --> 0:09:08.400 with this dad, he is having trouble with accepting it. 0:09:09.200 --> 0:09:13.880 Why because he doesn't know the greatness that resides in him, 0:09:14.080 --> 0:09:16.680 or perhaps he knows that it's there, but he isn't 0:09:16.720 --> 0:09:20.480 willing to accept it. Has that ever happened to you? 0:09:21.720 --> 0:09:25.040 Has that showed up with you? I don't know. It 0:09:25.080 --> 0:09:29.240 could be an amazing relationship. It could be you pursuing 0:09:29.280 --> 0:09:33.040 your dream job, you loving on your family, just you 0:09:33.240 --> 0:09:38.439 showing up as your best self and reminding yourself who 0:09:39.000 --> 0:09:43.000 you are and if you're a believer, it's who's you 0:09:43.080 --> 0:09:49.360 are as well. So in this episode we see Jacob 0:09:49.400 --> 0:09:54.160 as having a hard time with grasping the idea that 0:09:54.280 --> 0:09:57.360 his potential could be a hero, and perhaps because he 0:09:57.400 --> 0:10:01.719 feels as though he can't even save him self. M 0:10:03.080 --> 0:10:09.760 catch it, catch it? So whatever self limiting beliefs that 0:10:09.840 --> 0:10:13.640 he's placed on himself. He can't even recognize that by 0:10:13.760 --> 0:10:17.880 using a phone and dialing nine to one one he 0:10:18.080 --> 0:10:21.720 served as a hero to the principle of his high school. 0:10:22.720 --> 0:10:27.640 I wonder how many of us have life saving powers 0:10:28.480 --> 0:10:31.440 at the tip of our fingers, but choose not to 0:10:31.559 --> 0:10:37.640 use it, life saving powers within our mind hmm, and 0:10:37.720 --> 0:10:43.960 choosing not to use them? Is it you now? Oftentimes 0:10:44.000 --> 0:10:46.840 I feel as though while we have a hard time 0:10:46.960 --> 0:10:55.720 with stepping in our great, true potential, our life potential is, 0:10:55.800 --> 0:10:59.680 like I said, because we have these limiting beliefs that 0:10:59.800 --> 0:11:02.199 all often comes down into the form of what we 0:11:02.280 --> 0:11:09.800 feel is a lack of preparation hm. Because we feel 0:11:09.840 --> 0:11:14.200 as though we're not ready. But the question is are 0:11:14.240 --> 0:11:18.400 you ever really ready? They say life is the greatest 0:11:18.440 --> 0:11:21.480 teacher because you take the test before you learn the lesson. 0:11:22.559 --> 0:11:28.560 Sometimes you just have to start in order to be great. 0:11:29.160 --> 0:11:32.760 You just gotta put one foot in front of the other. 0:11:33.360 --> 0:11:36.200 They say, all it takes is the faith, the size 0:11:36.240 --> 0:11:40.199 of a mustard sea, just the love. Love. But if 0:11:40.200 --> 0:11:42.960 you so concerned with every time somebody is working to 0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:45.760 affirm you, to love on you, to bless on you, 0:11:46.160 --> 0:11:49.880 to pull up your umbrella. Well, teck, you don't make 0:11:49.920 --> 0:11:55.320 any room for you to receive your blessings. Furthermore, you 0:11:55.520 --> 0:11:58.600 living out your best life and tapping into your greatest 0:11:58.640 --> 0:12:09.640 potential can inspecre somebody else. Why is that? Why is 0:12:09.720 --> 0:12:13.120 that that we are afraid of who we truly are? 0:12:14.280 --> 0:12:17.600 Why is it that we are afraid to feel who 0:12:17.880 --> 0:12:21.719 we truly are? Why is it that we are afraid 0:12:21.840 --> 0:12:28.760 to be who we truly are, or perhaps what we 0:12:28.840 --> 0:12:32.240 have the potential to be. Our deepest fear is not 0:12:32.360 --> 0:12:35.000 that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we 0:12:35.040 --> 0:12:38.760 are powerful beyond measure well potential. How do you measure that? 0:12:40.280 --> 0:12:43.440 It's stepping out on the abyss. It's called taking a chance. 0:12:43.960 --> 0:12:48.280 It's called having a vision with no sight. Did you 0:12:48.360 --> 0:12:52.320 catch it? I ain't talking about what you see because 0:12:52.440 --> 0:12:54.960 I said this before and all remind you again. Don't 0:12:55.040 --> 0:12:59.080 let what you see make you forget what God said? 0:13:01.520 --> 0:13:06.320 And is that God of that special little voice inside 0:13:06.320 --> 0:13:10.360 of you? I think it's time to tap into it. 0:13:12.000 --> 0:13:15.400 We here for a good time, not a long time, 0:13:16.720 --> 0:13:19.520 so we have to make it count. We have to 0:13:19.559 --> 0:13:23.160 live our lives and be bold because we only get 0:13:23.240 --> 0:13:28.319 one that's it. And if there's more for you to do, 0:13:28.480 --> 0:13:31.079 more for you to accomplish, more than for you to see, 0:13:31.720 --> 0:13:36.320 why not? Why not? Oftentimes we say why why this? 0:13:36.480 --> 0:13:39.679 Why this? I want to implore or put this question 0:13:39.760 --> 0:13:48.360 on you. Why not? Now? We have to also realize 0:13:48.400 --> 0:13:55.560 that when going after our potential, our life potential, doing 0:13:55.679 --> 0:13:58.720 what we never thought of doing, well, we can't even 0:13:58.760 --> 0:14:01.040 fully pave out the whole way of how to get 0:14:01.080 --> 0:14:06.400 there is that it's gonna feel a little reckless. It's 0:14:06.440 --> 0:14:10.600 gonna feel a little uneasy because you're discovering what it is. 0:14:10.640 --> 0:14:14.160 That's why it's called potential. And something that stood out 0:14:14.240 --> 0:14:17.800 so interesting in this episode for me, well, you know 0:14:17.880 --> 0:14:21.080 I told you about the teacher Dusty Dusty Hubbard. His 0:14:21.240 --> 0:14:24.160 name reflects truly who his character is, honeychild, because he 0:14:24.200 --> 0:14:28.080 ain't trying to change nothing. Can you imagine never drawing 0:14:28.080 --> 0:14:32.000 your curtains? Could you imagine never flipping over your cushion 0:14:32.040 --> 0:14:35.440 on your couch? It just gets flat, it just gets stale. 0:14:36.160 --> 0:14:39.360 You gotta have movement, because what do they say, if 0:14:39.360 --> 0:14:42.360 you don't use it, you will lose it. So while 0:14:42.440 --> 0:14:46.400 Dusty is so content on being Dusty, other folks have 0:14:46.560 --> 0:14:50.400 more so as they're affirming and telling Jacob, oh, you're 0:14:50.440 --> 0:14:55.040 so amazing, You're a hero. You save Principal Pat. He 0:14:55.080 --> 0:14:58.320 can't seem to embrace it. And in dusty and sure, 0:14:58.560 --> 0:15:02.440 old dusty fashion, he's like, hey, I'm about to call 0:15:02.560 --> 0:15:05.920 Principal Pat on the phone. Principal Pat answers the phone 0:15:05.920 --> 0:15:08.400 on the FaceTime and we see her laying in this bed. 0:15:10.400 --> 0:15:13.600 Immediately Dusty is like, well, Principal Pat, look what happened 0:15:13.640 --> 0:15:16.920 to you? You out there recklessly living out your potential. 0:15:18.680 --> 0:15:21.920 And you know she changed the verbage. She said, I 0:15:22.080 --> 0:15:26.400 was out there pursuing my potential, having the time of 0:15:26.720 --> 0:15:31.520 my life. Are you ready to have a time in 0:15:31.560 --> 0:15:35.680 your life? Are you ready to really be bold and 0:15:35.760 --> 0:15:38.880 go after the desires of your heart, the desires that 0:15:38.920 --> 0:15:41.880 you have buried so deep inside, the desires that so 0:15:42.040 --> 0:15:45.760 many people have affirmed you up your greatness before whatever reason, 0:15:47.200 --> 0:15:50.720 Maybe because you decided to be comfortable, you wanted it 0:15:50.760 --> 0:15:53.920 to be easy, you wanted to know what to expect. 0:15:55.000 --> 0:15:57.800 You haven't done it. Or perhaps it's just about living 0:15:57.880 --> 0:16:03.040 in fear because changes sounds a nerving Well, you want 0:16:03.040 --> 0:16:06.720 to grow right, you want to be stretched right? Well, 0:16:06.720 --> 0:16:09.120 you gotta step into it and lean into it. You know, 0:16:09.400 --> 0:16:12.400 sometimes we ask God to grow and it starts raining. 0:16:13.280 --> 0:16:16.520 Can I be transparent with you? Well, I'm gonna be anyway. 0:16:17.560 --> 0:16:20.680 I was sharing with my train of Latif. I say, 0:16:20.760 --> 0:16:23.920 these next two months, I'm about to be so damn fine, 0:16:24.200 --> 0:16:27.560 I'm gonna be so damn fine. You gonna want to 0:16:27.680 --> 0:16:33.080 lick me. I'm serious. I say all that because I 0:16:33.120 --> 0:16:36.200 had a moment of growth of really what it means 0:16:36.240 --> 0:16:38.600 to tap into my potential, and that's really what get 0:16:38.720 --> 0:16:41.240 my fitness. That is an area that I know I 0:16:41.240 --> 0:16:43.920 have potential, but I have yet to really seize it. 0:16:44.560 --> 0:16:48.000 Because I know what's gonna require me to change change 0:16:48.000 --> 0:16:51.280 my mindset, not only just change physically, but change the 0:16:51.360 --> 0:16:55.280 mechanism how I think and how I deal with food. 0:16:56.080 --> 0:16:58.040 And so in this process because I'm taking it to 0:16:58.120 --> 0:17:00.560 the next level of these two months, is that I'm 0:17:00.600 --> 0:17:05.399 not only eating clean, but I'm counting my macros. And 0:17:05.440 --> 0:17:08.040 I was sharing with Latif. I said, oh my gosh, 0:17:08.119 --> 0:17:12.240 I burst it out in tears doing this, calculating these 0:17:12.359 --> 0:17:14.760 numbers for that, making sure I'm under the calorie count, 0:17:14.840 --> 0:17:18.399 making sure I maintain my protein, my fat, and my carbs, 0:17:20.920 --> 0:17:27.080 doing something that I have never done before and making 0:17:27.119 --> 0:17:30.239 sure I'm staying on task with it now. As much 0:17:30.240 --> 0:17:32.440 as I love food, honey, I was always looked to eat, honey. 0:17:32.480 --> 0:17:34.280 That's why I will work out for blood, honey, because 0:17:34.280 --> 0:17:37.040 I gotta eat. What I realize is that I can 0:17:37.119 --> 0:17:40.439 have a healthier relationship when it comes to food and 0:17:40.520 --> 0:17:46.240 what it's going to boil down this discipline and oftentimes 0:17:46.280 --> 0:17:48.560 when we ask God to grow, it starts to rain. 0:17:48.640 --> 0:17:52.760 But we have to realize is that we ask to grow, 0:17:53.160 --> 0:18:00.640 and with growth comes change. It's called evolution, it's called transformation. Well, 0:18:00.680 --> 0:18:03.720 if you're seeking a transformation, if you're seeking more with 0:18:03.840 --> 0:18:06.000 your life, well you're gonna have to step out there 0:18:06.040 --> 0:18:09.000 and do more. Don't sit here and be complacent talking 0:18:09.040 --> 0:18:11.280 about you want happy doing what you're doing when you're 0:18:11.320 --> 0:18:18.920 not making a choice to do something different hmmm. Because 0:18:18.960 --> 0:18:21.640 if you content with being unhappy doing what you don't 0:18:21.680 --> 0:18:26.160 want to do, can you imagine being content and loving 0:18:27.080 --> 0:18:30.479 what you were born to do? And oftentimes it's going 0:18:30.560 --> 0:18:33.240 to take you to just simply discover, take you to 0:18:33.280 --> 0:18:35.760 get outside of your box, whether that's getting outside of 0:18:35.760 --> 0:18:37.959 your city, leaving a job that you'd have been there 0:18:37.960 --> 0:18:40.760 for fifty billion years. That isn't serving you or simply 0:18:40.840 --> 0:18:45.720 learning to love your self. And see, when you love yourself, 0:18:45.760 --> 0:18:47.800 you want to do right by yourself. You want to 0:18:47.840 --> 0:18:51.199 fulfill yourself. But oftentimes we look at our sense of 0:18:51.240 --> 0:18:54.800 love as a sense of control, when essentially love is free. 0:18:55.920 --> 0:18:58.399 You don't have to hold on and hoard the things 0:18:58.440 --> 0:19:00.760 that you love. You get that out there and you 0:19:00.880 --> 0:19:05.160 explore with love because you know that it's forever going 0:19:05.240 --> 0:19:11.160 to be constant. It doesn't leave you. So in this 0:19:11.359 --> 0:19:18.600 moment of Jacob, he's put in this uncomfortable situation of 0:19:18.640 --> 0:19:22.160 being something he never thought he could be, and that's 0:19:22.160 --> 0:19:25.919 a hero. And in so many ways one can imagine 0:19:25.960 --> 0:19:29.520 that he may feel as though he can't even save himself, 0:19:30.560 --> 0:19:34.440 being that, you know, living in a home with his father, 0:19:34.560 --> 0:19:37.159 after feeling like he had to be on the parent 0:19:37.240 --> 0:19:39.600 figure for him and his twin brother and his father 0:19:39.680 --> 0:19:42.280 fall into depression and then his brother dies, who is 0:19:42.320 --> 0:19:45.639 like the superstar of the city what quote unquote a 0:19:45.680 --> 0:19:48.520 hero is, And now he really feels that there is 0:19:48.560 --> 0:19:51.119 a wedge between him and his dad. But here he 0:19:51.200 --> 0:19:54.960 has a moment where he has inspired his dad to 0:19:55.119 --> 0:19:58.280 not only embark in conversation, but to quit his job. 0:19:58.320 --> 0:20:00.560 But it's not so much that his dad said, oh, 0:20:00.640 --> 0:20:02.840 I just want to quit my job. It's because his 0:20:03.000 --> 0:20:05.720 dad saw his son save somebody life and said, oh, 0:20:05.760 --> 0:20:09.840 my gosh, there has to be more. There has to 0:20:09.880 --> 0:20:13.000 be more than what I'm feeling and what I'm experiencing 0:20:13.119 --> 0:20:16.760 right now. And because Jacob is residing in this imposter 0:20:17.000 --> 0:20:20.199 syndrome of not feeling like he's worthy, of not feeling 0:20:20.240 --> 0:20:24.200 like he did enough, he's actually shielding in the relationship 0:20:24.440 --> 0:20:29.840 with his dad that he hoped to connect. Isn't that interesting. 0:20:30.160 --> 0:20:32.919 It's almost like us as beings, where we're longing to 0:20:32.920 --> 0:20:37.600 feel this happiness of this joyous life, but yet we're 0:20:37.600 --> 0:20:42.159 blocking off the connection by not pursuing our wild dis dreams. 0:20:42.440 --> 0:20:45.560 It comes in the form of comfort, it comes in 0:20:45.600 --> 0:20:50.639 the form of distraction. It comes in the form of 0:20:50.720 --> 0:20:54.040 not taking a chance. But what do I always say? 0:20:54.080 --> 0:20:56.840 We're here for a good time, not a long time, 0:20:57.080 --> 0:21:01.800 So let's make it count. Are you ready to make 0:21:01.800 --> 0:21:05.560 your life count? Are you ready to discover what there 0:21:05.640 --> 0:21:09.280 is more to do? I know you are because you 0:21:09.320 --> 0:21:14.800 still listen. I know you are because you're wondering. I 0:21:14.920 --> 0:21:18.720 know you are because you were made and you were 0:21:18.720 --> 0:21:22.720 built for it. Well, now it's just time to tap 0:21:22.800 --> 0:21:29.080 into your potential. B what it is that you seek? 0:21:29.960 --> 0:21:33.200 I posted on my Instagram at Dawn Dae speaks a 0:21:33.200 --> 0:21:35.640 shameless plug, not really, because this is the vitamin dven. 0:21:35.680 --> 0:21:38.840 During day podcast, I put up a picture of myself 0:21:38.920 --> 0:21:45.560 before I got into this transformation stage, and I said, 0:21:47.680 --> 0:21:54.720 SIS decided to be the change she wanted to see. 0:21:55.600 --> 0:21:59.399 Sis is me. So what we have to realize is 0:21:59.440 --> 0:22:05.080 that when we talk talk about tapping discovering our life potential, 0:22:05.320 --> 0:22:10.720 our greatest potential, that it requires a transformational stage because 0:22:10.720 --> 0:22:14.160 there's growth, because it's about us being more than we're 0:22:14.160 --> 0:22:18.560 we all right now, So that means getting uncomfortable. What 0:22:18.640 --> 0:22:21.560 that looks like is treading on terrain that you have 0:22:21.680 --> 0:22:25.120 not stepped foot into. What that looks like is you're 0:22:25.160 --> 0:22:30.600 taking ownership of your life and realizing you have control 0:22:30.800 --> 0:22:34.720 over it. So if there's any unhappiness that you're feeling, 0:22:35.320 --> 0:22:38.120 or feeling as if there is more that you want 0:22:38.160 --> 0:22:40.560 to do that you should do, that you could do, well, 0:22:40.760 --> 0:22:43.439 I need you to go look in the mirror and 0:22:43.560 --> 0:22:50.080 talk to the person looking back at you and remind yourself, 0:22:50.880 --> 0:22:54.600 our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our 0:22:54.640 --> 0:23:00.200 deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure and 0:23:00.280 --> 0:23:03.760 realizing that when we have the courage to step into 0:23:03.920 --> 0:23:11.679 our potential, we not only encourage and inspire, but we 0:23:11.840 --> 0:23:15.240 also lay a foundation of permission for others to do 0:23:15.280 --> 0:23:23.600 the same. Each one teach one, each one reach one. 0:23:23.960 --> 0:23:29.960 So is this you in this whole imposture syndrome invalidating 0:23:30.080 --> 0:23:34.600 all the great things that reside inside of you? Well, 0:23:34.680 --> 0:23:38.280 let me remind you of this. What allows a diamond 0:23:38.280 --> 0:23:41.560 to shine are the multitudes of cuts that have been 0:23:41.600 --> 0:23:46.040 placed within it. And it shines because it allows the 0:23:46.119 --> 0:23:49.520 light to come in. Are you ready for the light 0:23:49.600 --> 0:23:54.399 to come within your life? To ignite this little light 0:23:54.560 --> 0:23:59.800 of mind? I'm gonna let it shine. Are you ready 0:23:59.840 --> 0:24:02.800 to ignite that lie and let it bounce around all 0:24:02.840 --> 0:24:05.119 those imperfections of all the ways that you did not 0:24:05.240 --> 0:24:08.760 know but stepping boldly and who you are and if 0:24:08.760 --> 0:24:16.240 you are a believer, whose you are? Now? I'm going 0:24:16.280 --> 0:24:19.080 to continue talking about the show because I truly enjoy it, 0:24:19.280 --> 0:24:21.200 and this is my first time going about where I'm 0:24:21.240 --> 0:24:25.119 really like talking about different episodes and relaying information. But 0:24:25.800 --> 0:24:29.000 I said this, this this show on Apple TV plus 0:24:29.040 --> 0:24:33.080 The Big Door Prize based off the same title book 0:24:33.560 --> 0:24:38.080 The Big Door Prize by M. O. Walsh is phenomenal 0:24:39.280 --> 0:24:42.480 because I feel as though a lot of us could 0:24:42.480 --> 0:24:45.640 get uncomfortable and tapping too our potential because it's too 0:24:45.680 --> 0:24:51.600 many folks feeling unhappy. There's too many people not feeling 0:24:51.640 --> 0:24:56.480 out of gratitude and more importantly, not having the capability 0:24:56.920 --> 0:24:59.960 to express it because they haven't stepped out of their 0:25:00.080 --> 0:25:02.879 comfort zone to do more. Is it you, I'm not 0:25:02.920 --> 0:25:05.440 gonna lie. I've been in this situation. If I can 0:25:05.480 --> 0:25:09.360 be honest, feeling like I wasn't ready for something, feeling 0:25:09.400 --> 0:25:13.000 like I wasn't worthy for something, not making room for 0:25:13.119 --> 0:25:18.600 myself to be something, We'll make room. It's time to 0:25:18.600 --> 0:25:22.160 clear some things out because you deserve that, because you're 0:25:22.200 --> 0:25:26.560 worthy of that. So we're gonna continue this exploration on 0:25:26.720 --> 0:25:33.400 this show entitled The Big Door Prize, because we all 0:25:33.440 --> 0:25:39.960 deserve the gift of the present. We all have it 0:25:40.040 --> 0:25:43.360 because it's right now, and if we could just take 0:25:43.400 --> 0:25:46.560 the time to look around and acknowledge ourselves who we are, 0:25:46.680 --> 0:25:52.719 were we're going, we'd all be in a better place. 0:25:54.720 --> 0:25:56.600 You know, you gotta be a fool to go after 0:25:56.640 --> 0:25:59.719 your dreams because it's beyond them what you can see. 0:26:01.119 --> 0:26:04.480 That's why I need you to have vision. All right, 0:26:05.160 --> 0:26:08.120 that's it for your dose to Vitamin D. Be sure 0:26:08.119 --> 0:26:11.520 to follow what's on a social media at Vitamin D. Do'ntee. 0:26:11.600 --> 0:26:14.000 And I also want to encourage you that if you 0:26:14.080 --> 0:26:16.800 have been enjoying this conversation, because clearly you're still here, 0:26:16.960 --> 0:26:19.520 can you tell somebody to tell somebody to tell somebody 0:26:19.520 --> 0:26:22.119 else that Dawn Day got a podcast and it's entitled 0:26:22.200 --> 0:26:24.520 Vitamin D with Down Day. And if you're loving it, 0:26:24.560 --> 0:26:26.639 go ahead and put the stars and put the comments 0:26:26.680 --> 0:26:28.840
