<v Speaker 1>lives and understanding and realizing how you are your greatest

0:00:39.680 --> 0:00:43.120
<v Speaker 1>assad Have you ever really thought what you're asking for?

0:00:43.960 --> 0:00:45.640
<v Speaker 1>Like what is it going to require of you to

0:00:46.280 --> 0:00:51.040
<v Speaker 1>receive it, to achieve it, to be it, whatever that

0:00:51.360 --> 0:00:56.080
<v Speaker 1>thing is? Because they say asking you shall receive, seek

0:00:56.160 --> 0:00:58.040
<v Speaker 1>and you shall find, knock and the door will be

0:00:58.080 --> 0:01:01.000
<v Speaker 1>answered to you. This is what it said it. But

0:01:01.040 --> 0:01:02.960
<v Speaker 1>how has the time I'm wondering, like, are we really

0:01:03.000 --> 0:01:05.040
<v Speaker 1>ready what it is? That we're asking for, not that

0:01:05.080 --> 0:01:07.960
<v Speaker 1>it's bad, but it's just to be prepared. What do

0:01:08.040 --> 0:01:13.520
<v Speaker 1>they say, proper preparation prevents pissport performance? Huh lights camera action.

0:01:13.680 --> 0:01:17.120
<v Speaker 1>We're living in the now now. For me personally, what

0:01:17.200 --> 0:01:19.120
<v Speaker 1>I realized is that I've been talking about how I

0:01:19.120 --> 0:01:22.440
<v Speaker 1>want to up level my discernment now what I didn't

0:01:22.440 --> 0:01:24.360
<v Speaker 1>take in consideration of what that would feel like and

0:01:24.440 --> 0:01:27.480
<v Speaker 1>exactly what that looks like, but more importantly what that

0:01:27.520 --> 0:01:31.080
<v Speaker 1>feels like, and how I have to respect myself because

0:01:31.440 --> 0:01:33.800
<v Speaker 1>when you know better, it's required of you to do better,

0:01:34.280 --> 0:01:35.920
<v Speaker 1>and you would be a fool not too right. And

0:01:35.959 --> 0:01:37.880
<v Speaker 1>I asked for this, I asked to be better. So

0:01:37.959 --> 0:01:42.280
<v Speaker 1>now I'm charging myself because I'm holding myself accountable now

0:01:42.319 --> 0:01:44.280
<v Speaker 1>with this level of discernment. As I can see it's

0:01:44.640 --> 0:01:49.400
<v Speaker 1>up leveling. Is that I feel so much now. I

0:01:49.400 --> 0:01:52.400
<v Speaker 1>can be disobedient to myself. I could disrespect myself, I

0:01:52.440 --> 0:01:55.720
<v Speaker 1>could not honor myself and ignore what it is that

0:01:55.760 --> 0:01:59.400
<v Speaker 1>I feel when making my decisions m But I want

0:01:59.400 --> 0:02:03.280
<v Speaker 1>to make my here good. I want to make sure

0:02:03.320 --> 0:02:07.320
<v Speaker 1>that I'm going exceedingly at me on for more than

0:02:07.360 --> 0:02:11.320
<v Speaker 1>what I could ever imagine. So as I taken consideration

0:02:11.360 --> 0:02:15.040
<v Speaker 1>of what this discernment feels like. I gotta catch it.

0:02:15.720 --> 0:02:19.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm noticing, how truly Now I've said this before, but

0:02:19.280 --> 0:02:22.160
<v Speaker 1>how truly not everyone can get so close to me?

0:02:22.960 --> 0:02:25.160
<v Speaker 1>Because now I can feel the residue a bit more.

0:02:26.760 --> 0:02:29.320
<v Speaker 1>It's pulling on me a bit more. And now as

0:02:29.360 --> 0:02:32.720
<v Speaker 1>I am becoming more in tune with it, I'm catching

0:02:32.760 --> 0:02:34.800
<v Speaker 1>it before I make the decision, which that is what

0:02:34.880 --> 0:02:39.400
<v Speaker 1>it's there for. But even as I don't necessarily follow

0:02:39.440 --> 0:02:41.880
<v Speaker 1>my throat and I go through with it, I realized,

0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:45.680
<v Speaker 1>coming on the other side, I said, well, damn, that's

0:02:45.680 --> 0:02:48.959
<v Speaker 1>what it is that I felt. And I'm realizing it's

0:02:49.000 --> 0:02:51.960
<v Speaker 1>only getting more intensified. And it's only getting more intensified.

0:02:52.000 --> 0:02:56.680
<v Speaker 1>Pay It's what I asked for. What are you asking for?

0:02:57.960 --> 0:03:00.600
<v Speaker 1>Is it being revealed to you? Wait? Let me ask

0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:04.080
<v Speaker 1>you this. Are you choosing and allowing yourself to see it?

0:03:04.919 --> 0:03:06.440
<v Speaker 1>Because what do I say? If you want to be

0:03:06.440 --> 0:03:08.040
<v Speaker 1>better and you want to do better, you have to

0:03:08.080 --> 0:03:11.320
<v Speaker 1>be able to see better. Are your eyes open? Huh?

0:03:11.800 --> 0:03:18.760
<v Speaker 1>Are your ears open? Huh? Is your heart open? A

0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:22.560
<v Speaker 1>time to be in there? Now? It is the present,

0:03:22.880 --> 0:03:25.120
<v Speaker 1>So allow it to be the gift, get your right

0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:33.760
<v Speaker 1>in right with me, I get excited about it's been

0:03:33.800 --> 0:03:36.360
<v Speaker 1>a minute. Then I've done an advice letter. And I

0:03:36.400 --> 0:03:38.800
<v Speaker 1>told you, Mike, I said, you are Maya deren my

0:03:39.000 --> 0:03:41.360
<v Speaker 1>Elijah Harris. Do we have an advice letter? He said, don't.

0:03:41.360 --> 0:03:44.000
<v Speaker 1>We got three? I said, okay, well bring it, bring it,

0:03:44.040 --> 0:03:47.720
<v Speaker 1>don't know, bring it, don't know. Over Now, it's been

0:03:47.880 --> 0:03:50.400
<v Speaker 1>quite some time that I've done an advice letter. And

0:03:50.400 --> 0:03:52.760
<v Speaker 1>if this is the first episode that you're checking in on,

0:03:53.520 --> 0:03:55.160
<v Speaker 1>let me tell you something. So I have this thing

0:03:55.200 --> 0:03:58.880
<v Speaker 1>called advice letters where I employ listeners and viewers to

0:03:58.960 --> 0:04:01.880
<v Speaker 1>go ahead and write in about the relationships. Career advice

0:04:01.880 --> 0:04:04.640
<v Speaker 1>are different things that they're going on asking for some

0:04:04.760 --> 0:04:08.400
<v Speaker 1>vitamin D insight. Now, I want to be clear with

0:04:08.480 --> 0:04:11.080
<v Speaker 1>you because I said keep it G with me. I

0:04:11.240 --> 0:04:14.480
<v Speaker 1>keep it G with you when you write in with

0:04:14.520 --> 0:04:17.720
<v Speaker 1>me or to me. I want you to understand it's

0:04:17.720 --> 0:04:21.159
<v Speaker 1>not gonna always be rainbows and butterflies and not saying

0:04:21.200 --> 0:04:23.640
<v Speaker 1>that I'm coming in at tech, but you're coming in

0:04:23.720 --> 0:04:26.920
<v Speaker 1>for some light, right, And what do I say? If

0:04:26.960 --> 0:04:29.080
<v Speaker 1>you want to be better and you want to do better,

0:04:29.440 --> 0:04:31.560
<v Speaker 1>you have to be able to see better. So we're

0:04:31.600 --> 0:04:34.080
<v Speaker 1>gonna be looking at all angles some things that you

0:04:34.200 --> 0:04:36.960
<v Speaker 1>may not want to be exposed. I know, I know,

0:04:37.520 --> 0:04:39.839
<v Speaker 1>but we got to talk about it because we're coming

0:04:39.880 --> 0:04:44.560
<v Speaker 1>through with authenticity. Okay, So now that we got that clear,

0:04:45.839 --> 0:04:50.600
<v Speaker 1>let's get to this letter. Uh subject. He likes it,

0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:54.560
<v Speaker 1>but he hasn't put a ring on it. Hi, Dawn,

0:04:55.480 --> 0:04:57.640
<v Speaker 1>I am twenty five years old and I have been

0:04:57.640 --> 0:05:00.520
<v Speaker 1>in a committed relationship with my boyfriend for eight years now.

0:05:01.120 --> 0:05:02.919
<v Speaker 1>Being with him has been the greatest love I have

0:05:03.040 --> 0:05:05.960
<v Speaker 1>ever experienced, and I pray that we always be together.

0:05:06.480 --> 0:05:09.200
<v Speaker 1>With everything we have been through, I've started to feel

0:05:09.200 --> 0:05:11.560
<v Speaker 1>worried that he hasn't asked me to marry him yet.

0:05:12.000 --> 0:05:13.960
<v Speaker 1>I've flat out asked him if he wants to get married,

0:05:13.960 --> 0:05:16.359
<v Speaker 1>and his response was that I am the woman he

0:05:16.400 --> 0:05:17.839
<v Speaker 1>wants to be with for the rest of his life,

0:05:17.839 --> 0:05:19.840
<v Speaker 1>and that the idea of marriage is nothing more than

0:05:20.200 --> 0:05:25.039
<v Speaker 1>legal paperwork and that doesn't add anything to a relationship.

0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:28.880
<v Speaker 1>We are very public with our relationships, so we have

0:05:29.080 --> 0:05:32.040
<v Speaker 1>pictures posted online and share how long we have been together,

0:05:32.080 --> 0:05:35.360
<v Speaker 1>and because of this, we get commentary from people asking

0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:38.120
<v Speaker 1>why we haven't gotten married yet. I've explained how he

0:05:38.160 --> 0:05:41.200
<v Speaker 1>feels about marriage, and most people stop asking further questions.

0:05:41.560 --> 0:05:44.080
<v Speaker 1>But it's clear as day that they feel sorry for me.

0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:47.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm not stupid. I can see it on their faces,

0:05:47.160 --> 0:05:49.760
<v Speaker 1>and I noticed how they immediately change the subject so

0:05:49.800 --> 0:05:52.839
<v Speaker 1>we can talk about something else. I know my boyfriend

0:05:52.880 --> 0:05:55.599
<v Speaker 1>loves me, but it's been really hard not to start

0:05:55.680 --> 0:05:58.360
<v Speaker 1>to feel doubt, especially when I've seen videos of women

0:05:58.400 --> 0:06:01.400
<v Speaker 1>who share the same experience with me with not being

0:06:01.400 --> 0:06:03.880
<v Speaker 1>proposed to, and also women who have been dune by

0:06:03.880 --> 0:06:06.159
<v Speaker 1>their men after being with them for as long as

0:06:06.200 --> 0:06:09.920
<v Speaker 1>I have. I understand my boyfriend's reasoning, but I've always

0:06:10.000 --> 0:06:13.320
<v Speaker 1>dreamed of being walked down the aisle. I've tried, but

0:06:13.960 --> 0:06:16.159
<v Speaker 1>I'm really struggling with accepting the idea that I'm not

0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:18.440
<v Speaker 1>going to be able to call him my husband. I

0:06:18.480 --> 0:06:23.400
<v Speaker 1>love him so much. Done, I don't know what to do. Well,

0:06:24.200 --> 0:06:26.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm not gonna say exactly what you need to do,

0:06:26.360 --> 0:06:28.080
<v Speaker 1>but what I'm going to give you are some things

0:06:28.160 --> 0:06:32.760
<v Speaker 1>to think about. How about that? Yeah? All right, so

0:06:33.240 --> 0:06:36.440
<v Speaker 1>it's only five You've been in this relationship for eight years,

0:06:36.440 --> 0:06:38.000
<v Speaker 1>so what does that put you at? Like seven? Seen?

0:06:38.160 --> 0:06:41.280
<v Speaker 1>All right? Cool? You had this thing you said doing

0:06:41.320 --> 0:06:44.880
<v Speaker 1>I want to always be together. I'm like, all right, cool,

0:06:44.880 --> 0:06:46.400
<v Speaker 1>because you want to love. Why wish you ever want

0:06:46.400 --> 0:06:49.279
<v Speaker 1>to be depart from the love of your life? Right now?

0:06:49.400 --> 0:06:50.760
<v Speaker 1>This is where I got a chime in and you're

0:06:50.760 --> 0:06:53.040
<v Speaker 1>probably like, oh my god's done. I didn't expect that

0:06:53.080 --> 0:06:55.640
<v Speaker 1>from you. Well, you said to him, you said, I

0:06:55.640 --> 0:06:58.480
<v Speaker 1>am a woman. You stated that you are the woman

0:06:58.560 --> 0:07:00.040
<v Speaker 1>that he wants to be with for the rest of

0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:02.000
<v Speaker 1>his life. But he's acknowledged the fact that he does

0:07:02.040 --> 0:07:04.000
<v Speaker 1>not want to get married. Now I can agree with

0:07:04.040 --> 0:07:05.880
<v Speaker 1>him on this. I was just talking to a home

0:07:05.920 --> 0:07:08.360
<v Speaker 1>girl the other day, probably like two days ago, and

0:07:08.400 --> 0:07:10.600
<v Speaker 1>I have made the statement. Now, granted I'm not in love.

0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:12.840
<v Speaker 1>I have not been in a relationship eight years. But

0:07:12.920 --> 0:07:15.680
<v Speaker 1>I said, you know what, girl, I don't know if

0:07:15.720 --> 0:07:18.360
<v Speaker 1>I need to get married. Well, well, let me rephrase this.

0:07:19.240 --> 0:07:21.720
<v Speaker 1>I understand the purpose of getting married if we are

0:07:21.760 --> 0:07:25.520
<v Speaker 1>building something and we're starting a business. If we're not

0:07:25.680 --> 0:07:28.680
<v Speaker 1>doing that, then why are we getting married Because it

0:07:28.760 --> 0:07:30.920
<v Speaker 1>sounds is it sounds as if it's tying up a

0:07:30.920 --> 0:07:34.000
<v Speaker 1>lot of paperwork, a lot of legalities, And if you're

0:07:34.040 --> 0:07:37.920
<v Speaker 1>not building something there, then what is the purpose Now,

0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:41.160
<v Speaker 1>So that that's where I come in on that front, right,

0:07:41.200 --> 0:07:43.480
<v Speaker 1>so you get my direction? No, no, not not no,

0:07:43.640 --> 0:07:45.120
<v Speaker 1>this is where the light is gonna be shipped a

0:07:45.160 --> 0:07:48.720
<v Speaker 1>little bit. Okay, these are some things that really stuck

0:07:48.720 --> 0:07:52.200
<v Speaker 1>out to me. Uh and let me just say that

0:07:52.920 --> 0:07:56.560
<v Speaker 1>what I gather from this is that an operation or

0:07:56.760 --> 0:08:01.120
<v Speaker 1>coming from a space of insecurity, because I am reading

0:08:01.120 --> 0:08:05.920
<v Speaker 1>that you are seeking validation outside of your relationship. You

0:08:06.040 --> 0:08:08.720
<v Speaker 1>go on to say, you said hey Dawn. You didn't

0:08:08.720 --> 0:08:11.760
<v Speaker 1>say hey Dawn, but basically you said, we get commentary

0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:16.800
<v Speaker 1>from people asking us why haven't we gotten married? And

0:08:16.840 --> 0:08:19.239
<v Speaker 1>then this is the thing that that got me. You said,

0:08:20.400 --> 0:08:26.960
<v Speaker 1>I've explained whoa no way eating the manute? Why are

0:08:27.000 --> 0:08:31.280
<v Speaker 1>you explaining yourself to other people? Why do they deserve

0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:37.000
<v Speaker 1>an explanation about how you choose to live your life?

0:08:37.760 --> 0:08:43.199
<v Speaker 1>M hm, they can't live your life for you. Now,

0:08:43.280 --> 0:08:47.000
<v Speaker 1>you go on to say, it's as clear as day

0:08:47.000 --> 0:08:51.280
<v Speaker 1>that they feel sorry for me. I'm not stupid. I

0:08:51.320 --> 0:08:55.120
<v Speaker 1>can see it in their faces. Again, why are you

0:08:55.240 --> 0:09:01.760
<v Speaker 1>caring what other people think about your relationship? Sounds like

0:09:01.840 --> 0:09:05.199
<v Speaker 1>you're in the business of being concerned with things look

0:09:05.320 --> 0:09:08.800
<v Speaker 1>like versus what they feel like. See, I had to

0:09:08.800 --> 0:09:10.400
<v Speaker 1>say it like that because there's no question, or at

0:09:10.480 --> 0:09:13.200
<v Speaker 1>least what I received based on what you have written

0:09:13.240 --> 0:09:15.000
<v Speaker 1>to me, is that it's not a question as to

0:09:15.040 --> 0:09:17.960
<v Speaker 1>whether or not he loves you. The only question is

0:09:18.040 --> 0:09:20.679
<v Speaker 1>that whether or not he can I want to say,

0:09:20.760 --> 0:09:23.240
<v Speaker 1>show up, but let me not show up, but whether

0:09:23.360 --> 0:09:25.560
<v Speaker 1>or not he is willing to change his values to

0:09:25.640 --> 0:09:31.400
<v Speaker 1>appease yours. Now you go on to say that you

0:09:31.440 --> 0:09:33.520
<v Speaker 1>know that he loves you. Okay, if you know that

0:09:33.600 --> 0:09:36.040
<v Speaker 1>he loves you, that you posted pictures online, that he's

0:09:36.080 --> 0:09:39.560
<v Speaker 1>not like he's hiding you. Why are we so concerned

0:09:39.600 --> 0:09:43.360
<v Speaker 1>about this paperwork? And not because you shouldn't be concerned,

0:09:43.800 --> 0:09:47.400
<v Speaker 1>but more so if it's something that he is not

0:09:47.800 --> 0:09:49.760
<v Speaker 1>willing to give you. See, I say it like that

0:09:49.760 --> 0:09:53.359
<v Speaker 1>because I think oftentimes, or even situations, not even just relationships,

0:09:53.520 --> 0:09:57.319
<v Speaker 1>we walk in things trying to change them versus accepting

0:09:57.360 --> 0:09:59.680
<v Speaker 1>and making room for them to operate as they are

0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:02.200
<v Speaker 1>and then allowing things to grow. Let me give you

0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:04.920
<v Speaker 1>a caveat. I heard a while back. You know, I'm

0:10:04.920 --> 0:10:08.080
<v Speaker 1>from Detroit, and you know the automotive industry is booming

0:10:08.080 --> 0:10:11.199
<v Speaker 1>there and Henry Ford built the first card Detroit. Uh.

0:10:11.240 --> 0:10:15.559
<v Speaker 1>They said that When he would interview people to work

0:10:15.600 --> 0:10:20.720
<v Speaker 1>for him, he would take them out to eat based

0:10:20.760 --> 0:10:24.280
<v Speaker 1>on how they would eat their food would be based

0:10:24.320 --> 0:10:26.000
<v Speaker 1>on whether or not he felt as if he can

0:10:26.040 --> 0:10:27.920
<v Speaker 1>work with them. Don't Where are you getting at? What

0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:31.160
<v Speaker 1>are you talking about? Well, I'm glad you asked. See,

0:10:31.440 --> 0:10:36.360
<v Speaker 1>Henry Ford has this mindset of observing, making rome for

0:10:36.400 --> 0:10:39.480
<v Speaker 1>other people, and depending on how they would eat their

0:10:39.520 --> 0:10:43.120
<v Speaker 1>meal would determine as to how they would approach his business.

0:10:43.480 --> 0:10:46.200
<v Speaker 1>An individual that has coming in before they even check

0:10:46.240 --> 0:10:49.240
<v Speaker 1>the temperature, even taste to see what's on the plate.

0:10:49.400 --> 0:10:51.880
<v Speaker 1>They just started at a season. You probably know people

0:10:51.920 --> 0:10:54.400
<v Speaker 1>like that before they can even give it. What a sault? That?

0:10:54.679 --> 0:10:56.800
<v Speaker 1>Give me some little pepper? You've got some garlic powder?

0:10:57.160 --> 0:10:59.480
<v Speaker 1>Rather than just seeing how things operate. See, that's what

0:10:59.600 --> 0:11:02.120
<v Speaker 1>I talk about. What you gotta make room for people.

0:11:02.480 --> 0:11:04.400
<v Speaker 1>You gotta make room for people. Say that you can

0:11:04.440 --> 0:11:06.640
<v Speaker 1>see a three sixty view, so that you're not coming

0:11:06.640 --> 0:11:10.040
<v Speaker 1>in with this false expectation, because half the time that's

0:11:10.040 --> 0:11:13.520
<v Speaker 1>where the disappointment comes in. At I never once heard

0:11:13.520 --> 0:11:15.599
<v Speaker 1>you say that he cheated on you, that he was

0:11:15.640 --> 0:11:18.520
<v Speaker 1>holding secrets with you, that he wasn't communicating with you,

0:11:18.720 --> 0:11:21.680
<v Speaker 1>that he's trying to hide. You know, the concern that

0:11:21.720 --> 0:11:24.080
<v Speaker 1>you have is that he is clear about what it

0:11:24.160 --> 0:11:27.120
<v Speaker 1>is that he wants. So then I have to ask you,

0:11:28.400 --> 0:11:32.880
<v Speaker 1>what is it that you want? Okay, don I want him?

0:11:33.160 --> 0:11:37.520
<v Speaker 1>Do you really? Do you really want this relationship? Because

0:11:38.520 --> 0:11:43.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm like in other situations and situation ships, people don't

0:11:43.000 --> 0:11:46.079
<v Speaker 1>necessarily communicate, but what it is that they want? Now

0:11:46.120 --> 0:11:48.960
<v Speaker 1>I get it. You said that, Hey, I'm desiring this marriage,

0:11:49.160 --> 0:11:51.920
<v Speaker 1>But now what happens that he comes in he says, Hey,

0:11:52.559 --> 0:11:55.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to get married. What do you do

0:11:55.320 --> 0:12:00.080
<v Speaker 1>with that? Now? You say, I'm struggling with accepting the

0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:02.200
<v Speaker 1>idea that I'm not going to be able to call

0:12:02.320 --> 0:12:07.600
<v Speaker 1>him my husband. Everyone, I'm Otie and we are investors

0:12:07.600 --> 0:12:10.440
<v Speaker 1>in Tenoral Seller's wine company. He sort of like sharing.

0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:13.760
<v Speaker 1>Subscribed to the Vitamin D with down Day podcast available

0:12:13.760 --> 0:12:18.160
<v Speaker 1>wherever you get your favorite podcasts. Well, where did the

0:12:18.200 --> 0:12:22.960
<v Speaker 1>idea come from? Because it sounds like you're creating this

0:12:23.040 --> 0:12:24.959
<v Speaker 1>world from the world that he said It doesn't get

0:12:25.040 --> 0:12:30.320
<v Speaker 1>exist in his realm. If marriage is not on the table,

0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:36.840
<v Speaker 1>what are you expecting to be served? I want you

0:12:36.880 --> 0:12:41.400
<v Speaker 1>to really think about that. I find sometimes that we

0:12:43.640 --> 0:12:48.640
<v Speaker 1>call so much confusion with ourselves because we choose not

0:12:48.760 --> 0:12:53.160
<v Speaker 1>to see what's in front of us, we choose not

0:12:53.280 --> 0:12:57.280
<v Speaker 1>to receive what's in front of us. We choose to

0:12:57.400 --> 0:13:03.000
<v Speaker 1>dishonor ourselves. You said, darn, I love him so much.

0:13:04.120 --> 0:13:07.319
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what to do. You said you want

0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:12.280
<v Speaker 1>to get married. The question becomes is he the one? Furthermore,

0:13:12.360 --> 0:13:14.360
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna sit here and try to change him, which

0:13:14.440 --> 0:13:17.920
<v Speaker 1>probably will result in a level of resentment because he

0:13:18.040 --> 0:13:20.880
<v Speaker 1>said what it is that he wants. And I feel

0:13:20.880 --> 0:13:23.480
<v Speaker 1>like that's a beautiful thing about a relationship, when you

0:13:23.520 --> 0:13:27.160
<v Speaker 1>can partner with somebody that's aligned with the things that

0:13:27.240 --> 0:13:30.160
<v Speaker 1>you want. Now, do you feel as though that maybe

0:13:30.160 --> 0:13:32.480
<v Speaker 1>you gave yourself a disadvantage because earlier on in the

0:13:32.559 --> 0:13:36.880
<v Speaker 1>letter you said, I pray that we will always be together. Hi,

0:13:37.480 --> 0:13:39.480
<v Speaker 1>we gotta be clear about what it is that we're

0:13:39.520 --> 0:13:42.719
<v Speaker 1>asking for. You know, we have this idea of what

0:13:42.760 --> 0:13:45.160
<v Speaker 1>we think things are supposed to be, but we really

0:13:45.280 --> 0:13:49.200
<v Speaker 1>need to delve in what it is that we're asking for.

0:13:49.400 --> 0:13:53.640
<v Speaker 1>So I ask you, what are you asking for? Furthermore,

0:13:54.040 --> 0:13:56.920
<v Speaker 1>do you really know what it is that you want?

0:13:58.440 --> 0:14:02.160
<v Speaker 1>Because if you have all the medians for a relationship

0:14:02.320 --> 0:14:06.480
<v Speaker 1>that can last. What is marriage gonna do for you?

0:14:07.360 --> 0:14:09.000
<v Speaker 1>Did you think that was gonna stop him if you

0:14:09.000 --> 0:14:11.160
<v Speaker 1>ever thought that he was cheating? Did you think that

0:14:11.200 --> 0:14:14.080
<v Speaker 1>paperwork was going to prevent him from engaging in those actions?

0:14:14.920 --> 0:14:17.319
<v Speaker 1>Did you think that the paperwork was gonna make him

0:14:17.320 --> 0:14:21.040
<v Speaker 1>communicate with you better? Or furthermore, do you feel as

0:14:21.080 --> 0:14:24.040
<v Speaker 1>though the paperwork is gonna solidify the pictures and all

0:14:24.080 --> 0:14:26.200
<v Speaker 1>of the love that he shows you out in public

0:14:26.480 --> 0:14:30.680
<v Speaker 1>and on social media. I just want to know, because

0:14:30.720 --> 0:14:35.480
<v Speaker 1>you say, Hey, Dawn, what do I do? You said, Hey, Dawn,

0:14:35.800 --> 0:14:41.479
<v Speaker 1>he likes it, but he hasn't put a ring on it. Sis?

0:14:42.120 --> 0:14:47.160
<v Speaker 1>What do you want? Sis? Do you honor yourself? Sis?

0:14:47.440 --> 0:14:49.920
<v Speaker 1>I ask you these questions because you come with me

0:14:49.960 --> 0:14:51.480
<v Speaker 1>and you say what it is that you want? But

0:14:51.560 --> 0:14:54.240
<v Speaker 1>yet you're seeking it from a well that looks as

0:14:54.280 --> 0:14:56.920
<v Speaker 1>though it is dry, not dry with love, but dry.

0:14:56.960 --> 0:14:59.400
<v Speaker 1>What it is that you're seeking? Meaning you're looking for

0:14:59.480 --> 0:15:02.600
<v Speaker 1>something in the lost and found and guess what, it's

0:15:02.600 --> 0:15:11.320
<v Speaker 1>not there? So what do you want? It comes down

0:15:11.320 --> 0:15:14.640
<v Speaker 1>to the fact, do you want this relationship with him

0:15:14.680 --> 0:15:20.040
<v Speaker 1>and what he can offer you? Because you're trying to

0:15:20.040 --> 0:15:23.680
<v Speaker 1>pull something out the sky forcing somebody's hand. That ain't

0:15:23.680 --> 0:15:32.400
<v Speaker 1>gonna work. Since furthermore, I want to highlight, punctuate bold

0:15:32.960 --> 0:15:37.000
<v Speaker 1>the idea of what I see hovering over this letter.

0:15:37.040 --> 0:15:40.280
<v Speaker 1>And it's no shame because we shouldn't like it's a

0:15:40.280 --> 0:15:43.840
<v Speaker 1>bit of insecurity, baby, And I say that because you

0:15:43.920 --> 0:15:47.520
<v Speaker 1>are so concerned with Everybody thinks you are so concerned

0:15:47.520 --> 0:15:52.920
<v Speaker 1>with everything. Looks like you will never be happy that way. See,

0:15:53.000 --> 0:15:56.960
<v Speaker 1>we have to really tap into how we feel, and

0:15:57.000 --> 0:16:00.880
<v Speaker 1>that shouldn't be based on any outside of work. It's

0:16:00.920 --> 0:16:04.120
<v Speaker 1>the work that we do inside because once we're done

0:16:04.160 --> 0:16:07.440
<v Speaker 1>with being outside, we still have to sit with ourselves

0:16:07.520 --> 0:16:10.200
<v Speaker 1>and guess what. You can try to run. You can

0:16:10.280 --> 0:16:12.600
<v Speaker 1>try to add, but you're not gonna go too far

0:16:12.720 --> 0:16:20.960
<v Speaker 1>because you argue period. So Dawn, I don't know what

0:16:21.080 --> 0:16:23.800
<v Speaker 1>to do since I'm gonna have to say, You're gonna

0:16:23.840 --> 0:16:27.040
<v Speaker 1>have to choose you in this situation, and choosing you

0:16:27.480 --> 0:16:32.240
<v Speaker 1>means being honest with yourself, and it means honoring yourself.

0:16:33.640 --> 0:16:35.960
<v Speaker 1>Being honest is the fact that yes, you've been in

0:16:35.960 --> 0:16:40.080
<v Speaker 1>this relationship for eight years, but also this man doesn't

0:16:40.120 --> 0:16:47.640
<v Speaker 1>want to get married. Honoring yourself looks like, hey, if

0:16:47.680 --> 0:16:50.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm at the table and they're not serving me what

0:16:51.000 --> 0:16:57.200
<v Speaker 1>I need, what I want. It's time to go. So

0:16:58.920 --> 0:17:04.520
<v Speaker 1>how long are you gonna? Hey, your food gonna get cold,

0:17:05.840 --> 0:17:09.439
<v Speaker 1>and at that point, what's the point of eating it?

0:17:10.400 --> 0:17:15.840
<v Speaker 1>So miss he likes it, but he hasn't put a

0:17:15.960 --> 0:17:21.000
<v Speaker 1>ring on it. You better check yourself before you wreck yourself.

0:17:23.280 --> 0:17:26.879
<v Speaker 1>Time is of the essence. Happiness is of the essence.

0:17:27.000 --> 0:17:31.119
<v Speaker 1>No better yet, joy is of the essence because that

0:17:31.119 --> 0:17:35.640
<v Speaker 1>deals that type of peace. Make room to accept him

0:17:35.880 --> 0:17:39.119
<v Speaker 1>for who he is, see him for who he is.

0:17:39.600 --> 0:17:41.720
<v Speaker 1>And I need you to decide how you want to

0:17:41.720 --> 0:17:45.280
<v Speaker 1>show up. How does that sound? So I can't tell

0:17:45.320 --> 0:17:49.000
<v Speaker 1>you exactly what you should do, but I think that

0:17:49.040 --> 0:17:53.120
<v Speaker 1>it's imperative that you honor yourself. And that looks like

0:17:53.520 --> 0:17:58.840
<v Speaker 1>being confident. That looks like being honest, and that looks

0:17:58.920 --> 0:18:02.000
<v Speaker 1>like loving yourself of enough to know that if it

0:18:02.040 --> 0:18:07.240
<v Speaker 1>doesn't serve you, it doesn't deserve you. Okay, I know,

0:18:08.960 --> 0:18:11.560
<v Speaker 1>I hope I didn't discourage anybody else to write a letter.

0:18:11.560 --> 0:18:13.119
<v Speaker 1>But that's what I have to give to her, because

0:18:13.560 --> 0:18:16.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, we just go into different situations at times

0:18:16.080 --> 0:18:19.560
<v Speaker 1>expecting something that simply isn't there. We find ourselves in

0:18:19.600 --> 0:18:21.679
<v Speaker 1>a level or a moment of disappointment, and guess what,

0:18:22.200 --> 0:18:24.679
<v Speaker 1>we only have ourselves to blame. But listen, if you

0:18:24.680 --> 0:18:27.000
<v Speaker 1>were listening, you're like, Dawn, I need some advice. I

0:18:27.000 --> 0:18:30.200
<v Speaker 1>want to encourage you to email me vitamin D at

0:18:30.600 --> 0:18:32.920
<v Speaker 1>Dawn day Speaks dot com and we will definitely put

0:18:32.920 --> 0:18:35.040
<v Speaker 1>that in the email back in. Furthermore, if you like

0:18:35.119 --> 0:18:36.440
<v Speaker 1>to be a guest or if you have a topic

0:18:36.480 --> 0:18:38.600
<v Speaker 1>on the show, I wanted to encourage you to email

0:18:38.720 --> 0:18:43.000
<v Speaker 1>us again Vitamin D at Dawn day Speaks dot com. Okay,

0:18:43.240 --> 0:18:46.280
<v Speaker 1>and can you tell somebody to tell somebody that Dawn

0:18:46.359 --> 0:18:48.840
<v Speaker 1>Day got a podcast. It's called Vitamin D with Dawn Day.

0:18:48.880 --> 0:18:52.200
<v Speaker 1>And it's available not somewhere, not over there, not sometimes

0:18:52.359 --> 0:18:56.960
<v Speaker 1>it's available wherever. However, whenever you get your favorite podcasts,

0:18:57.640 --> 0:19:01.119
<v Speaker 1>you know, this is a dream of mine, and if

0:19:01.160 --> 0:19:03.720
<v Speaker 1>it serves you, can you ensure that you make it

0:19:03.760 --> 0:19:07.920
<v Speaker 1>accessible for somebody else. I'd appreciate you. And probably if

0:19:07.920 --> 0:19:11.199
<v Speaker 1>you shared it, that means you you must have liked it.

0:19:11.320 --> 0:19:14.399
<v Speaker 1>So do me one more again. They got these ratings

0:19:14.440 --> 0:19:16.360
<v Speaker 1>on there. You see the stars and maybe it's hearts,

0:19:16.400 --> 0:19:18.480
<v Speaker 1>but it's not that you can rate go ahead and

0:19:18.520 --> 0:19:20.480
<v Speaker 1>put a five on that. Make a little comment. So

0:19:20.560 --> 0:19:23.720
<v Speaker 1>if somebody comes across they and say, wow, don't inspire

0:19:23.760 --> 0:19:27.320
<v Speaker 1>me Wow doing made me feel good? Wow doing his

0:19:27.400 --> 0:19:30.160
<v Speaker 1>owner something. I told you're gonna be bigging and open.

0:19:30.240 --> 0:19:33.240
