WEBVTT - Believe In Yourself 0:00:01.160 --> 0:00:04.640 Good morning, good afternoon, good evening. You are tuned into 0:00:04.680 --> 0:00:08.000 the Vitamin D Podcast and I'm your host, Dawn Day, 0:00:08.039 --> 0:00:10.520 and I'm gonna get too excited about your lives. So 0:00:10.600 --> 0:00:13.400 on this episode, we're taking it back to the origination 0:00:13.440 --> 0:00:16.079 of Vitamin D. Well I would use the lyrics of 0:00:16.120 --> 0:00:19.720 popular music and and destwine them into a motivational message, 0:00:19.800 --> 0:00:22.520 you know, in a sense of using what we listen 0:00:22.640 --> 0:00:26.400 to in our background to feed in our everyday lives. Right, 0:00:27.440 --> 0:00:30.960 and so I want this episode to be dedicated to 0:00:31.080 --> 0:00:35.360 something very special, the essence of who we are and 0:00:36.400 --> 0:00:40.400 why we believe we are who we are, which stems 0:00:40.680 --> 0:00:44.159 what we do and why we do what we do. So, 0:00:44.440 --> 0:00:48.479 without further ado, it's time now for your dose of 0:00:48.640 --> 0:00:55.040 Vitamin damin D. Right with me and get excited about 0:00:55.200 --> 0:01:01.480 your lives. Today's La Vitamin D is dedicated to believing 0:01:01.600 --> 0:01:05.440 in yourself. We're in strange times right now. We're in 0:01:05.520 --> 0:01:09.240 a time where life is showing you that nothing is guaranteed, 0:01:09.959 --> 0:01:14.720 nothing is promised, And guess what, You're starting to realize 0:01:14.760 --> 0:01:17.760 that you're going to have to take certain chances, that 0:01:17.880 --> 0:01:21.840 you're gonna have to lean on things that maybe seeming uncomfortable. 0:01:21.880 --> 0:01:24.600 But it's going to take the whole essence of you 0:01:25.280 --> 0:01:27.679 to do what it is to either one get you 0:01:27.720 --> 0:01:31.240 fulfillment or be provide you with the means of living 0:01:31.240 --> 0:01:33.959 your best life and the life that's adequate enough for 0:01:34.000 --> 0:01:37.119 you to take care of yourself, your family, and your 0:01:37.160 --> 0:01:40.400 loved ones. So I wanted to talk to you about 0:01:40.520 --> 0:01:43.560 what it means to believe in yourself. Believe in yourself. 0:01:43.720 --> 0:01:48.600 It takes courage, it takes a sense of truth, it 0:01:48.840 --> 0:01:53.760 takes patience. It's a concoction of all these things that 0:01:54.000 --> 0:01:57.120 necessarily don't necessarily come in a role war in a 0:01:57.160 --> 0:02:00.920 certain formation, but their essential peace is of what makes 0:02:00.920 --> 0:02:04.760 your essence you're being. But get this in order to 0:02:04.960 --> 0:02:08.480 ignite all of them so that you can be your 0:02:08.520 --> 0:02:14.040 best self. You realize is that you gotta take some 0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:17.160 things off, you know. I talked about it on the 0:02:18.000 --> 0:02:21.360 previous episode of Vitamin D with the advice letters, and 0:02:21.400 --> 0:02:23.960 I talked about this young lady. She was carrying so 0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:28.240 much shame, so many bags. Reminded me of Erica Badou. 0:02:28.320 --> 0:02:32.040 Bag lady. You're gonna hurt you all your back dragging 0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:36.360 all them bags like that. The same with you, whether 0:02:36.400 --> 0:02:39.160 you're hurting your back, hurting your dream, just slowing yourself down. 0:02:40.120 --> 0:02:44.440 And when we talk about belief and self, you have 0:02:44.560 --> 0:02:47.400 to have a sense of what the belief is. Well, 0:02:48.120 --> 0:02:51.720 if you have so many distractions and you're unable to 0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:54.480 see who it is that you are, what stems on 0:02:54.520 --> 0:02:58.920 the foundation. So when I say take it off, I 0:02:58.960 --> 0:03:01.560 mean every word of it. I mean it's time for 0:03:01.600 --> 0:03:04.480 you to get naked. It's time for you to wipe 0:03:04.480 --> 0:03:06.239 the shame off your face. It's time for you to 0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:08.360 strip yourself of all the guards and walk with your 0:03:08.440 --> 0:03:12.520 arms wide open. I get it. It is easy to 0:03:12.800 --> 0:03:20.320 attend that we are perfect, that everything's together, everything's in place. 0:03:22.040 --> 0:03:27.880 That's not real. You know how many chemicals and concoctions 0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:31.840 it takes to be fake. You know, the opposite of real. 0:03:32.360 --> 0:03:36.000 And then when you you realize it, you you you say, 0:03:36.040 --> 0:03:40.080 have a sense of how it's the breakdown is so brutal. 0:03:40.480 --> 0:03:44.640 You know oftentimes there's different smells. You realize that it 0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:50.280 basically offers no good. So when we talk about necessarily 0:03:50.320 --> 0:03:52.640 taking it off, I want you to relieve yourself of 0:03:52.720 --> 0:03:56.520 that and just learn to just be you and understanding 0:03:56.480 --> 0:03:59.800 that nobody can beat you with your own truth. I 0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:04.240 learned that from Red Table Talk. Jade's mom said that, 0:04:05.040 --> 0:04:07.840 and I thought that was profound because that's when you 0:04:07.920 --> 0:04:11.400 realize that regardless of any situation that you in face with, 0:04:11.800 --> 0:04:15.880 you understand that you can only be authentic for you 0:04:17.040 --> 0:04:19.080 and it's all They're gonna do one or two things. 0:04:19.160 --> 0:04:21.839 You're either gonna break down or you're gonna break through. 0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:24.800 But remember when we talk about carrying those things and 0:04:24.839 --> 0:04:29.640 taking things off, something has got to change because there's 0:04:29.640 --> 0:04:32.120 a fluidity when it comes to being who you are, 0:04:32.240 --> 0:04:35.279 the belief in who you are and standing in who 0:04:35.360 --> 0:04:40.000 you are. Here's the thing. When you talk about that breakdown, 0:04:40.080 --> 0:04:43.280 you talk about that breakthrough, you know when you realize 0:04:43.320 --> 0:04:44.920 that you may not be able to see it, you 0:04:44.960 --> 0:04:48.120 do understand that there's a way that you can't envision it. 0:04:48.600 --> 0:04:50.479 You know, you have to think of it like a 0:04:50.560 --> 0:04:54.719 beautifully wrapped present on a special occasion. It's amazing to 0:04:54.760 --> 0:04:58.440 look at, right, I mean stecked out, it's folded, it 0:04:58.520 --> 0:05:03.479 has a bowl um, but you truly realize the reason 0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:09.360 why it's so beautiful, the reason why there's worth to 0:05:09.480 --> 0:05:13.320 it is because there's a gift inside you. Hear what 0:05:13.360 --> 0:05:16.640 I'm saying, you know that whole idea of we're putting 0:05:16.640 --> 0:05:19.000 on layers and we're trying to go and fit like 0:05:19.040 --> 0:05:22.160 a perfect immagry. You're realizing that the essence and the 0:05:22.200 --> 0:05:26.560 importance of who you are is what resides within and 0:05:26.640 --> 0:05:30.240 what kind of pieces that. That's when we're talking about 0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:33.880 believing itself. You gotta know yourself. And you know this 0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:37.520 R and B singer Labyrinth, he has a song it's 0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:41.520 called um beneath Your Beautiful and he asked, He says, 0:05:41.960 --> 0:05:44.560 I would like to know if I could see beneath 0:05:44.560 --> 0:05:50.000 your beautiful? But I say a better yet? And you 0:05:50.720 --> 0:05:53.120 are you willing to do that to live out your dreams? 0:05:53.880 --> 0:05:57.279 Are you willing to live out your best life? It's 0:05:57.320 --> 0:06:00.479 all the choice. And guess what, you don't have to 0:06:00.480 --> 0:06:03.720 worry about anybody else passioning you because it only affects you. 0:06:04.440 --> 0:06:07.280 And you realize that either it can push you forward, 0:06:07.279 --> 0:06:09.160 it can hold you back. Either it can cause you 0:06:09.279 --> 0:06:12.080 piece or calls you tragedy. Perhaps that's the same thing 0:06:12.120 --> 0:06:14.200 when Meek Mills said you wanted you gotta see it 0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:16.760 with a clear eyed view. He said that in dreams 0:06:16.760 --> 0:06:20.120 of nightmares, because sometimes your dream can be your nightmares 0:06:20.160 --> 0:06:22.839 if it's what you want to fear. But when you 0:06:22.920 --> 0:06:25.280 realize that you do the work and you take time 0:06:25.320 --> 0:06:27.560 to see who you are on the inside because you've 0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:30.840 taken those layers off, you realize that you're happening until 0:06:30.880 --> 0:06:34.520 your true potential and there is when you find that 0:06:34.640 --> 0:06:38.440 you align yourself with your purpose. Okay, but even in 0:06:38.480 --> 0:06:42.000 that moment, you gotta get out your way. Yeah, you 0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:44.320 gotta get out of your own way when you have 0:06:44.400 --> 0:06:48.360 belief in yourself, because it's not always understanding, it's entrusting 0:06:48.400 --> 0:06:50.840 that the next step is taking you to the next step. 0:06:50.839 --> 0:06:52.960 We're just taking you to the next step. And that 0:06:53.000 --> 0:06:55.200 makes me thinking of Eminem You know, in this track 0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:58.080 he talks about lose yourself because sometimes you can get 0:06:58.120 --> 0:07:01.200 so caught up in your head stop playing with me. 0:07:01.720 --> 0:07:05.000 How many times have you sat there playing a situation 0:07:05.279 --> 0:07:09.320 over and over again about how something could have gone, 0:07:09.960 --> 0:07:13.000 how how you should have done it this way? And 0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:16.400 if you have one more opportunity you would make it differently, 0:07:16.880 --> 0:07:19.840 only to look up that nothing's changed. Or wait, wait, 0:07:19.880 --> 0:07:22.800 get this one. You're sitting there in anxiety thinking like, 0:07:22.840 --> 0:07:25.440 oh my gosh, what's to come? You've sat there and 0:07:25.480 --> 0:07:31.600 planned out every situation and every outcome to every possible strange, abnormal, 0:07:31.800 --> 0:07:35.680 minute situation. That can cause you to go in circles 0:07:35.720 --> 0:07:39.400 and circles about what's something could be. That's not fair, 0:07:41.840 --> 0:07:46.080 that's not believing in yourself. See, when you're believe in yourself, 0:07:46.120 --> 0:07:50.440 you have a moment which you trust it is right now. See, 0:07:50.800 --> 0:07:54.120 you rid yourself of all those ideals of what it's 0:07:54.120 --> 0:07:57.880 supposed to be and what will be, you start to 0:07:57.920 --> 0:08:00.760 discover your sense of purpose and and and your your 0:08:00.840 --> 0:08:03.200 your vision starts to be constructed in the way that 0:08:03.360 --> 0:08:07.000 so that obstacles are no longer rolled blocks, but rather 0:08:07.120 --> 0:08:11.280 stepping stones. Did you hear what I'm saying? Obstacles are 0:08:11.360 --> 0:08:15.240 no longer rolled blocks, but they're stepping stones because you 0:08:15.320 --> 0:08:19.400 realize there are muscles that are being stretched. Whether it 0:08:19.440 --> 0:08:22.680 comes down to having the faith within yourself, whether it 0:08:22.720 --> 0:08:25.640 comes down to realizing who do you have the outsource 0:08:25.720 --> 0:08:29.280 for information, where it comes down to realizing that you 0:08:29.360 --> 0:08:32.440 have to be the one man band man putting every 0:08:32.480 --> 0:08:37.560 single piece of your puzzle together. It's entrusting that you 0:08:37.679 --> 0:08:40.959 have everything that you need right now and to get 0:08:40.960 --> 0:08:44.240 out of your head. That's why he says, you better 0:08:44.280 --> 0:08:48.400 lose yourself the moment you own it. You better never 0:08:48.480 --> 0:08:53.080 let it go. Because here's the thing. If you get 0:08:53.240 --> 0:08:59.000 so caught up and trying to hold everything, you don't 0:08:59.040 --> 0:09:01.640 allow piece is to fall apart so they can be 0:09:01.760 --> 0:09:04.599 put back together. That's another thing I talked about on 0:09:04.679 --> 0:09:09.240 the advice letters. I talked about how sometimes that your 0:09:09.280 --> 0:09:11.320 life has to fall apart so that it can be 0:09:11.320 --> 0:09:14.640 put back together, just like a mosaic, because you weren't 0:09:14.640 --> 0:09:19.920 making a beautiful picture of all the experiences, of all 0:09:19.960 --> 0:09:23.040 the challenges, of all the ways that you've chosen to 0:09:23.120 --> 0:09:26.240 overcome things in your life. That's what you're putting together. 0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:30.160 That's the belief and the things not seeing the belief 0:09:30.480 --> 0:09:34.640 about being who you are. So that's why you gotta 0:09:34.640 --> 0:09:37.280 take time enough to see who are you? Who do 0:09:37.360 --> 0:09:40.920 you want to be? What are the aspirations? Because you've 0:09:40.920 --> 0:09:44.000 gotta have something that you're going after. There has to 0:09:44.040 --> 0:09:46.600 be something that you're making alignment to. And rather than 0:09:46.960 --> 0:09:50.280 making a comparison to somebody else, thinking about what you 0:09:50.280 --> 0:09:52.120 should have did or could have done based on a 0:09:52.160 --> 0:09:54.800 person who is no longer you, because now you've taken 0:09:54.800 --> 0:09:58.000 time to mature, because you lived a little longer because 0:09:58.000 --> 0:10:00.920 you've seen a little more, And because you experienced a 0:10:00.960 --> 0:10:04.480 little bit more, then not your vision is now more keen. 0:10:05.520 --> 0:10:07.880 Now for whatever you thought that you were losing, these 0:10:07.920 --> 0:10:10.200 leaves that steadily call off in the fall, for every 0:10:10.240 --> 0:10:12.920 tree you realize in the spring a new thing comes forth. 0:10:13.200 --> 0:10:16.440 And understanding that in your life a new thing is coming, 0:10:16.559 --> 0:10:19.959 that's the belief. Because your steps in order and you're 0:10:20.000 --> 0:10:22.760 walking in it, because you've taken time to know yourself. Right, 0:10:24.480 --> 0:10:26.280 then we got this next thing, And I love this. 0:10:26.480 --> 0:10:30.920 I love this so so very much because it's a 0:10:31.040 --> 0:10:36.920 thing where how we put value in things and sometimes 0:10:37.000 --> 0:10:40.720 and it may not always seem like a quote unquote 0:10:40.760 --> 0:10:44.040 good thing of how we can see how things can 0:10:44.080 --> 0:10:48.679 have more value rather than seeing how ourselves. But I 0:10:48.720 --> 0:10:50.440 think it's a beautiful thing when you can make a 0:10:50.480 --> 0:10:52.680 parallel and you can start to see things a little 0:10:52.679 --> 0:10:57.840 bit more fairly. What do I mean by that? Rihanna? 0:10:58.760 --> 0:11:02.400 She said in her song that diamonds, She said, you're 0:11:02.440 --> 0:11:07.800 shooting star seeing a vision of ecstasy. You and I 0:11:07.880 --> 0:11:11.160 we're like diamonds in the sky. Now here's the thing. 0:11:11.920 --> 0:11:15.679 When we talk about value and placing value on things, 0:11:15.920 --> 0:11:18.920 and and and it realizes and value ourselves is that 0:11:19.559 --> 0:11:22.880 when you take a look at a diamond, you realize 0:11:22.960 --> 0:11:25.599 that the value that's placed on it, it's an ability 0:11:25.640 --> 0:11:28.600 to shine. But see, there's a quote that I learned 0:11:28.600 --> 0:11:31.320 in college and that's stuck with me throughout the years, 0:11:31.360 --> 0:11:34.319 and it says, what allows a diamond to shine or 0:11:34.360 --> 0:11:37.240 the multitudes of cuts that have been placed within it? Well, 0:11:37.320 --> 0:11:40.040 let's think about it. If we're talking about belief in self, right, 0:11:40.280 --> 0:11:44.920 it's about getting to know so and understanding that when 0:11:44.960 --> 0:11:47.880 we decided to get naked, we've taken off all these 0:11:47.960 --> 0:11:51.720 coverings and then all these labels and all these imageries 0:11:51.720 --> 0:11:53.800 and things that we thought things were supposed to be like, 0:11:53.960 --> 0:11:58.000 we realized that those are the imperfections are just like 0:11:58.040 --> 0:12:05.079 a diamonds cuts. That's guilt, This cuts, a shame, that's cuts. 0:12:05.320 --> 0:12:10.160 That's a broken heart, that's cuts. A failed job opportunity, 0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:17.200 that's cuts. Cuts. But guess what when you realize when 0:12:17.200 --> 0:12:21.199 that pressure comes around you and all those cuts, they 0:12:21.240 --> 0:12:24.160 may not represent necessarily the happiest times in your lives, 0:12:24.200 --> 0:12:27.560 but there are testimonials for who you are. They remind 0:12:27.600 --> 0:12:30.000 you of where you came from. But they don't define 0:12:30.000 --> 0:12:33.200 where you are right now, and you know what it 0:12:33.360 --> 0:12:36.520 is your due diligence to remain in that positive light, 0:12:36.920 --> 0:12:38.840 a light that will allow you to shine for the 0:12:38.880 --> 0:12:42.200 whole world to see. Do you understand what I'm saying 0:12:43.360 --> 0:12:47.280 when you decide to come forth in your truth and 0:12:47.400 --> 0:12:50.160 the belief, what it is that you were designed to 0:12:50.240 --> 0:12:55.800 do despite what is around you, despite your felt attempts, 0:12:56.160 --> 0:13:02.440 despite your felt relationships, despite your your failed finances, you 0:13:02.520 --> 0:13:06.800 show up, and when you show up for yourself, you 0:13:06.880 --> 0:13:12.080 get rewarded for that. You show up in truth. You 0:13:12.120 --> 0:13:14.240 show up because you want to see the way, and 0:13:14.280 --> 0:13:17.720 therefore you step into your life. And when you step 0:13:17.800 --> 0:13:21.199 into your life, you reflect everything that you've been through. 0:13:21.920 --> 0:13:29.880 You reflect the truth, you reflect the realness, you reflect opportunity, 0:13:31.679 --> 0:13:37.520 you reflect your dreams. That's what makes it powerful. Of 0:13:37.640 --> 0:13:41.000 what is allowing a diamond to sign? Are you ready 0:13:41.080 --> 0:13:46.880 to sign? That's what I want to know from you. 0:13:46.880 --> 0:13:49.600 You gotta want it as bad as you want to breathe. 0:13:51.040 --> 0:13:55.120 You gotta know that it's inside of you. You gotta 0:13:55.240 --> 0:14:00.160 realize that you're worth it. You gotta understand that everything 0:14:00.280 --> 0:14:03.440 you've been through is a culmination of who you are, 0:14:03.600 --> 0:14:08.000 and my god, you're beautiful. You realize how many ways 0:14:08.040 --> 0:14:11.320 you learned how to not to do something. You realize 0:14:11.320 --> 0:14:15.040 how you're not gonna waste your time anymore. You realize 0:14:15.040 --> 0:14:20.120 how you're more keen on what your value. You realize 0:14:20.120 --> 0:14:24.280 that you're stepping in more truth of yourself. That's what 0:14:24.360 --> 0:14:27.840 this pandemic is doing. Also, it's allowing us to have 0:14:27.920 --> 0:14:30.960 the realization of what we're existing in right now. It 0:14:31.080 --> 0:14:35.840 truly is sharpening the vision. When I ask you, are 0:14:35.880 --> 0:14:38.840 you ready to believe in yourself? I'm truly asking you, 0:14:38.920 --> 0:14:45.560 are you ready to see yourself? Are you because there 0:14:45.600 --> 0:14:52.560 aren't any more distractions and the time is now, Tomorrow 0:14:52.680 --> 0:14:58.560 isn't promised, nothing is guaranteed, So what are you gonna 0:14:58.600 --> 0:15:01.680 do with it? Are you going to be the shooting star? 0:15:03.280 --> 0:15:06.680 Are you going to be that vision of ecstasy? I 0:15:06.720 --> 0:15:10.200 think you deserve the shune, So you need to show 0:15:10.240 --> 0:15:13.680 him bright like a diamond, and you realize that when 0:15:13.680 --> 0:15:16.640 you step in your truth and who you are, you 0:15:16.720 --> 0:15:19.320 kind of that reflect the characteristics of a sun. You 0:15:19.400 --> 0:15:23.360 don't like vitamin D because the sun doesn't ask permission 0:15:23.400 --> 0:15:28.160 to shine, so not that should you when you walk 0:15:28.160 --> 0:15:34.000 in your whole hearted truth of who you are. You 0:15:34.120 --> 0:15:38.360 realize that you can't just give a piece of yourself. 0:15:39.200 --> 0:15:43.160 What do I mean by that? It goes back to 0:15:43.200 --> 0:15:47.000 the whole notion of why you gotta get naked. You 0:15:47.120 --> 0:15:50.160 gotta stop covering up of what made you who you 0:15:50.200 --> 0:15:55.080 are right now because if you're so busy trying to 0:15:55.200 --> 0:15:59.680 hide who it is that you were, what you've been through, 0:15:59.720 --> 0:16:04.240 what of experience, then you'd lose the pathway that gotten 0:16:04.280 --> 0:16:09.840 you right here. And it was those steps, that pathway 0:16:10.000 --> 0:16:14.200 that's gonna lead other people to their destiny, into their 0:16:14.320 --> 0:16:19.840 life because that's who you are. So I ask you, 0:16:21.080 --> 0:16:25.880 are you ready to give all of you? Because that's 0:16:25.880 --> 0:16:29.520 where the truth lies. And remember, nobody can beat you 0:16:30.120 --> 0:16:37.120 with your own truth. Do you believe in yourself? Do 0:16:37.280 --> 0:16:41.160 you You know John Legend? You know he has a 0:16:41.240 --> 0:16:45.440 song all of me right and he's singing out to 0:16:45.560 --> 0:16:50.080 his core. He's belting and he's just like, in order 0:16:50.120 --> 0:16:53.560 for you to be your most authentic self, you have 0:16:53.720 --> 0:16:58.600 to give to yourself. Do you understand what I'm saying. 0:16:59.160 --> 0:17:01.520 I didn't say give a peace. I didn't say give 0:17:01.600 --> 0:17:03.920 that special part that's grateful on the day that you 0:17:04.040 --> 0:17:07.720 got the job. I'm talking about giving the piece of 0:17:07.720 --> 0:17:09.760 yourself that you didn't lose sanity on the day that 0:17:09.800 --> 0:17:13.199 you watch your mother take your last breath. Did you 0:17:13.280 --> 0:17:17.800 hear what I said, I'm not talking about the time 0:17:17.840 --> 0:17:22.360 when you got the promotion. I'm maybe talking about when 0:17:22.400 --> 0:17:25.920 you got laid off during the pandemic because you still 0:17:25.960 --> 0:17:29.960 got your peace of mind. You're realizing all those things 0:17:30.040 --> 0:17:32.400 are in the culmination of who you are right now. 0:17:32.640 --> 0:17:34.720 So when I ask you, are you ready to give 0:17:34.760 --> 0:17:38.320 all of yourself? You understand that if you're stepping into greatness, 0:17:38.520 --> 0:17:40.520 if you're stepping in the moment of being like a 0:17:40.560 --> 0:17:43.560 diamond and ready to shine, I need all your pieces. 0:17:44.160 --> 0:17:46.600 I need those lights to reflect off of one another. 0:17:46.640 --> 0:17:48.680 I need somebody to see that that was a turn. 0:17:48.920 --> 0:17:51.000 I need somebody to see that that was a twist. 0:17:51.720 --> 0:17:53.919 Because of all these things that may have led you 0:17:53.960 --> 0:17:56.160 in these circles that went round and round and round, 0:17:56.320 --> 0:17:59.560 the light just kept shining. And guess what, you start 0:17:59.640 --> 0:18:03.280 to reflect that diamond. It's time for you to understand 0:18:03.600 --> 0:18:06.320 that when you decide and sign up to believe in 0:18:06.359 --> 0:18:12.280 yourself and give yourself all of yourself, you start giving 0:18:12.320 --> 0:18:15.879 yourself the life that you deserve and you should not 0:18:16.080 --> 0:18:18.680 shine from the very best. So if that means taking 0:18:18.720 --> 0:18:22.760 time with yourself, that's belief and understanding that you need 0:18:22.800 --> 0:18:26.840 to love yourself. If that's even taking time with meditation 0:18:26.920 --> 0:18:30.439 in the morning, that's even belief that you know that 0:18:30.520 --> 0:18:34.360 you need to know yourself. I don't care who you are, 0:18:34.800 --> 0:18:37.119 I don't care what you have done or what you 0:18:37.240 --> 0:18:39.600 haven't done. I want to let you know that you 0:18:39.680 --> 0:18:44.560 are worth it. Your dreams are worth it. Your relationships 0:18:44.560 --> 0:18:47.919 to your family, your career, and whatever else means anything 0:18:47.960 --> 0:18:50.800 to you is worth it. So given up is not 0:18:50.880 --> 0:18:56.080 an option. And and here's the thing I said it 0:18:56.119 --> 0:19:00.399 before I say it again. I know sometimes throws a 0:19:00.400 --> 0:19:03.639 few curveballs and it gets a little wacky, but that 0:19:03.720 --> 0:19:07.359 doesn't mean you give up. Because remember we talk about 0:19:07.400 --> 0:19:09.919 the belief itself. And so if you have this vision 0:19:10.480 --> 0:19:13.639 for this life that you want, and you've been on 0:19:13.720 --> 0:19:16.760 this journey of getting to know who you are, going 0:19:16.760 --> 0:19:20.360 through various trials and tribulations, staying up at night because 0:19:20.440 --> 0:19:23.119 you know that something inside of you is telling you 0:19:23.200 --> 0:19:29.000 that you are who you are. You understand that there's greatness, 0:19:30.680 --> 0:19:33.440 this greatness inside of you that has to be unleashed. 0:19:35.200 --> 0:19:38.439 Do you have any idea of how much greatness you 0:19:38.480 --> 0:19:42.400 have inside of you, how smart, how beautiful, how talented 0:19:42.400 --> 0:19:45.919 and amazing you are. How dare you even entertain the 0:19:45.960 --> 0:19:50.520 emotion of giving up? It's too dope for that. And 0:19:50.520 --> 0:19:52.840 and it just makes me feel like we listen to 0:19:52.880 --> 0:19:55.840 these songs and I'm not sure we necessarily hear them all. 0:19:56.000 --> 0:19:59.840 But it's just like mc hammer said, you gotta be 0:20:00.080 --> 0:20:04.679 too legit to quit. When you go to the store 0:20:05.480 --> 0:20:08.639 and say, if you had your your cash, and you 0:20:08.640 --> 0:20:11.000 know sometimes with the twenties, the fifties and a hundreds 0:20:11.000 --> 0:20:13.240 that will take a marker and and just slide it 0:20:13.280 --> 0:20:16.879 across the bill. Best believe it's gonna be legit in 0:20:16.960 --> 0:20:18.760 order for you to make sure that you cash out 0:20:18.800 --> 0:20:22.399 on your purpose. So if you're talking about cashing out 0:20:22.480 --> 0:20:25.840 on your dreams, you have to be too legit to quit. 0:20:26.400 --> 0:20:30.280 And with that that has to take an uncontrollable, unfathomable, 0:20:30.480 --> 0:20:34.680 unconceivable type of belief in yourself belief, and you possess 0:20:34.840 --> 0:20:37.760 everything that you will possibly need to be all it 0:20:37.840 --> 0:20:40.560 is that you want to be, so whatever it is 0:20:40.600 --> 0:20:43.800 that you want her life, that's when you realize that 0:20:43.840 --> 0:20:46.200 you gotta have wanted as bad as you want to breathe, 0:20:46.920 --> 0:20:49.560 because you're gonna have those instances as you decide to 0:20:49.640 --> 0:20:52.880 walk in your authentic self that's gonna take your breath 0:20:52.880 --> 0:20:55.080 away because you're gonna be growing in different ways because 0:20:55.119 --> 0:20:59.919 remember you've had different trials and tribulations. Remember you've had 0:21:00.080 --> 0:21:05.080 different losses. Remember you've had different challenges. All those things 0:21:05.080 --> 0:21:11.440 have been going on, but you're here now. And because 0:21:11.800 --> 0:21:15.159 you didn't decide to take a little bitty piece, you 0:21:15.160 --> 0:21:16.960 had to take all of you from your history of 0:21:16.960 --> 0:21:19.720 what you learned for the destiny of the future that 0:21:19.760 --> 0:21:25.159 you are going towards. It's encompassing everything around, So that 0:21:25.320 --> 0:21:28.520 belief in yourself has to be settled in with this solf. 0:21:29.080 --> 0:21:32.080 It's something that you have to want as bad as 0:21:32.119 --> 0:21:36.560 you want to breathe. You wake up every day and 0:21:36.600 --> 0:21:40.880 you have to realize that you have eighty six thousand, 0:21:41.160 --> 0:21:46.160 four hundred chances to live your best life because there 0:21:46.160 --> 0:21:52.399 are eighty six thousand, four hundred seconds and every day 0:21:52.600 --> 0:21:56.520 and when you wake up walking and living and breathing 0:21:56.640 --> 0:22:00.000 and seeing the opportunity that you have for your life, 0:22:00.480 --> 0:22:03.600 tell me, what is it that you cannot do, but 0:22:03.720 --> 0:22:06.280 more importantly, tell me what is it that you want 0:22:06.280 --> 0:22:09.520 to do. You know, often times we sit there all 0:22:09.600 --> 0:22:12.280 day talking about what we can't do, what we should do, 0:22:12.320 --> 0:22:15.320 what we couldn't do. But I'm interested in knowing what 0:22:15.359 --> 0:22:17.680 you want to do because that's the belief in yourself, 0:22:17.720 --> 0:22:21.639 regardless of whatever situation, regardless of anything that's going on 0:22:21.720 --> 0:22:24.879 around you. And I want you to understand that you 0:22:25.200 --> 0:22:28.680 gotta make it. You gotta know that you're making it, 0:22:28.680 --> 0:22:30.520 and you know you how you gotta get it, how 0:22:30.680 --> 0:22:34.560 you live it. But it's an understanding of seeing who 0:22:34.600 --> 0:22:38.280 you are. So I want to make sure that you 0:22:38.359 --> 0:22:41.880 see that. I want you to understand the value of yourself. 0:22:42.359 --> 0:22:44.480 But I want you to understand too that you gotta 0:22:44.480 --> 0:22:46.440 be ready to see yourself. And I hope that's what 0:22:47.280 --> 0:22:49.960 gives to you. Because we've been in a situation for 0:22:49.960 --> 0:22:53.320 probably quite too long, of all these filters and all 0:22:53.359 --> 0:22:57.240 these cover ups, all these photoshops and Madrid, all these 0:22:57.280 --> 0:23:01.000 smoking mirrors. But because the dust the starting to settle, 0:23:01.480 --> 0:23:04.040 because all the confusion has stopped, we're starting to see 0:23:04.040 --> 0:23:06.439 each other. So I hope and I pray that you 0:23:06.480 --> 0:23:09.800 start to see yourself and walk into your authentic self. 0:23:09.880 --> 0:23:15.080 You've asked for this moment, sees it. You've asked for 0:23:15.119 --> 0:23:17.960 a moment where everything can stop and paul so that 0:23:18.000 --> 0:23:20.840 you can see, So that you can be a creator 0:23:20.960 --> 0:23:24.080 right from your home, that you can be a dreamer 0:23:24.119 --> 0:23:27.080 across the world. That you can be in a season 0:23:27.119 --> 0:23:30.959 of manifestation, that you can be in a season of vision. 0:23:31.040 --> 0:23:34.640 And that's what this is right now. So believe in yourself. 0:23:34.720 --> 0:23:37.520 Take a chance on yourself. It's time for you to 0:23:37.560 --> 0:23:40.600 believe and be everything that you can be. And I 0:23:40.640 --> 0:23:42.960 hope that you you learn to love on yourself to 0:23:43.040 --> 0:23:47.400 the fullest. That's the key. If you're gonna believe in yourself, 0:23:47.480 --> 0:23:50.360 you have to learn to love on yourself because when 0:23:50.359 --> 0:23:53.880 you love, you realize you treat those things with care. 0:23:54.880 --> 0:23:58.280 You're particular about what comes around?

Not everybody can place their 0:24:10.240 --> 0:24:15.720 hands on it. It isn't exposed to all types of elements. Hello, 0:24:16.560 --> 0:24:20.280 who are you exposing yourself to? Hello?
