It's 0:00:34.880 --> 0:00:37.519 where sometimes I take the lyrics of popular music and 0:00:37.560 --> 0:00:42.080 I intertwined into a motivational message. Having a great conversations 0:00:42.440 --> 0:00:46.199 with everyday celebrities and people like you and me. Uh 0:00:46.240 --> 0:00:50.280 answering some advice letters, heck, even just coming up with 0:00:50.400 --> 0:00:54.600 inspirational insights. Vitamin D is a means to help you 0:00:54.640 --> 0:00:57.960 get excited about your life. Now. While I traditionally would 0:00:58.000 --> 0:01:01.080 have an interview setup or perhaps have a stack of 0:01:01.120 --> 0:01:03.680 advice letters, I have to do with check in, check 0:01:03.720 --> 0:01:05.640 in to say what's going on, Just to let you 0:01:05.640 --> 0:01:10.600 know what's going on with me. And I'm embarking on 0:01:10.640 --> 0:01:13.880 a new season. I don't know what your season is 0:01:14.040 --> 0:01:17.760 um of growth, but mine is coming into the realm 0:01:17.920 --> 0:01:21.760 of expansion a lot of things that when I was 0:01:21.800 --> 0:01:27.640 coming up aspiring to to leave Detroit to just be 0:01:27.760 --> 0:01:30.160 more either in New York at l A, which I 0:01:30.319 --> 0:01:32.440 lived in New York and currently live in l A now, 0:01:33.520 --> 0:01:38.680 and I realized, I'm beginning to learn to appreciate more 0:01:39.680 --> 0:01:45.160 the journey, the process. What I mean by that is that, um, 0:01:45.200 --> 0:01:47.560 my old barber has before I had locks, i had 0:01:47.640 --> 0:01:51.760 short blonde hair. Lewis T. Powell, he says, the journey 0:01:51.920 --> 0:01:56.280 is the experience, and the experience is the journey. Well, 0:01:56.280 --> 0:01:59.720 I know that I wanted to be great, but I 0:01:59.760 --> 0:02:04.120 didn't realize the capacity it takes to be great. And 0:02:04.160 --> 0:02:07.400 I say that because I think that's oftentimes what we miss, 0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:10.360 and especially in the society today, where a lot of 0:02:10.400 --> 0:02:13.639 things are microwavable, we have a sense of thinking things 0:02:13.720 --> 0:02:17.919 happen overnight. Um, not saying that things aren't possible, but 0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:22.840 learning to appreciate the journey because that's where the experience lies. 0:02:23.840 --> 0:02:28.200 And for me, you know, my dreams are they're so 0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:32.680 big it scares me. Truthfully, my aspiration is to be 0:02:32.680 --> 0:02:35.880 bigger than over h And I say that because when 0:02:35.880 --> 0:02:39.600 I look at the expansion of what she's done it's 0:02:39.639 --> 0:02:41.640 ginormous and I want to be able to shed that 0:02:41.760 --> 0:02:46.560 Vitamin D light on people. And as I'm going through 0:02:46.560 --> 0:02:49.480 the motions and they said, you gotta be absolutely crazy 0:02:49.560 --> 0:02:55.680 for your dreams. You gotta be crazy. And like I said, 0:02:56.080 --> 0:02:59.840 I'm realizing the crazy that this that it takes to 0:03:00.000 --> 0:03:03.880 it to to hold into the capacity of it. Because 0:03:04.160 --> 0:03:06.960 when I think about the sleepless nights, when I think 0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:10.079 about the times that I want to stop, it's no 0:03:10.160 --> 0:03:13.680 wonder because I did, and why I can say that 0:03:14.080 --> 0:03:17.680 I just got premiered on a television series, Yes, Little 0:03:17.720 --> 0:03:21.120 Drawn from Detroit. How even Vitamin D. This podcast you're 0:03:21.120 --> 0:03:23.840 listening to right now, up my weekend segment on the 0:03:23.919 --> 0:03:28.000 Steve Harvey Morning Show. Up my participation and my improv 0:03:28.160 --> 0:03:32.320 comedy group Cosmic Forest Comedy and taking class and improv 0:03:32.440 --> 0:03:35.200 at the ground Links and I see it paying off. 0:03:36.000 --> 0:03:40.520 But it's hard work. And even in coming into the 0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:43.520 sense of when we talk about stepping into greater and 0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:48.720 appreciating the journey because it's the experience, it's about appreciating 0:03:48.720 --> 0:03:51.600 the hurt and the stress. And when I say stress, 0:03:51.640 --> 0:03:54.920 I mean the tension, because sometimes stress is good because 0:03:55.120 --> 0:03:58.640 stress will get things moving when things are blocked. See, 0:03:58.640 --> 0:04:00.520 the key is it is not to resist the stress. 0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:03.280 It's allowed to make room so that the stress can float. 0:04:03.320 --> 0:04:05.760 Because if you allow things to flow, the stress can go. 0:04:06.200 --> 0:04:09.600 Did you catch what I'm saying. If you allow things 0:04:09.600 --> 0:04:14.200 to go, the stress will go. Move with it. Okay, 0:04:14.200 --> 0:04:16.560 so's check with me here. So as I'm stepping in 0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:18.719 this realm of all this greatness is going on, and 0:04:18.760 --> 0:04:21.120 I hope that maybe this can reach us. Something to 0:04:21.160 --> 0:04:25.680 you as well, is that appreciate the time that it takes. 0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:29.240 I wouldn't be sitting here talking to you right now 0:04:29.320 --> 0:04:32.760 on my Viting in d with Dawn Day podcast had 0:04:32.760 --> 0:04:36.320 it not taken time going back from almost ten years 0:04:36.320 --> 0:04:39.560 ago of working at Music Choice and having a vision 0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:41.880 thanks to Jonathan Lemon. He said, you know what names 0:04:41.920 --> 0:04:46.440 something vitamin D because it's a nourishment for the mind. Man, 0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:49.080 we change our minds if you're thinking about it, they say, 0:04:49.120 --> 0:04:51.120 we only use like a peanut size of it. And 0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:53.480 the capacity that our mind can hold if we can 0:04:53.520 --> 0:04:57.320 just step out and reach that, well, that's what's happening. 0:04:58.160 --> 0:05:01.479 And I understand and why it had to take that 0:05:01.560 --> 0:05:03.400 much time. So I want you to have grace with 0:05:03.480 --> 0:05:06.560 your time, because hadn't at that time, I wouldn't be 0:05:06.600 --> 0:05:08.960 in a position where I can stand truthfully into what 0:05:09.080 --> 0:05:11.680 I am to be in a discernment of what I want, 0:05:11.920 --> 0:05:14.360 because oftentimes we can send in complacement of what what 0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:16.839 we don't want, because we're afraid to speak what we 0:05:16.920 --> 0:05:20.520 do want, because you have to speak what you seek 0:05:20.600 --> 0:05:23.480 until you see what you're saying. You have to speak 0:05:23.600 --> 0:05:26.440 what you seek until you see what you said. What 0:05:26.520 --> 0:05:29.080 do you want? So if I'm saying I want to 0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:32.000 be bigger than open right, that means I'm gonna have 0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:34.599 to put into work. That means I'm gonna have to 0:05:34.600 --> 0:05:36.880 stretch and grow. That means until I get the money. 0:05:36.960 --> 0:05:38.840 I'm gonna have to be the person that's coming up 0:05:38.839 --> 0:05:41.080 with the guests, that's going to be booking the guests, 0:05:41.080 --> 0:05:43.440 that's gonna be putting up my podcast, that's gonna be 0:05:43.560 --> 0:05:46.400 gathering the content, that's gonna be making sure I get sleep, 0:05:46.400 --> 0:05:48.000 the mensition is going to be making sure that I'm 0:05:48.000 --> 0:05:49.680 working out. The one is gonna be making sure I 0:05:49.720 --> 0:05:52.000 have time for my family, making sure I have time 0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:55.240 for my friends. That's the one I'm gonna be. So 0:05:56.279 --> 0:05:58.640 I just want to challenge you or not even challenge you. 0:05:58.680 --> 0:06:00.120 I just want to stay with you. Just just to 0:06:00.160 --> 0:06:05.480 be patient, be patient with yourself and enjoy this journey, 0:06:05.680 --> 0:06:12.000 this experience. Understand that when you ask for greatness, you 0:06:12.120 --> 0:06:16.919 gotta keep in mind the capacity you can hold. And 0:06:17.000 --> 0:06:20.880 you only get stronger by one rap at a time, 0:06:21.720 --> 0:06:24.440 one rap at a time. And it has to be 0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:28.400 something that you're consistent at. And even when all everything 0:06:28.480 --> 0:06:30.960 is against you, all the odds of places against you, 0:06:30.960 --> 0:06:34.600 you got to keep be persistent until you get it. 0:06:35.880 --> 0:06:39.440 Mm hmm. If it says a guy says, greater is 0:06:39.520 --> 0:06:42.200 he who was in me than he who was in 0:06:42.200 --> 0:06:45.280 the world, what can you not do? I mean, if 0:06:45.279 --> 0:06:48.680 you're a true believer in dreams, if you're a true 0:06:48.680 --> 0:06:52.560 believer and receiving what it is that you want, what 0:06:52.800 --> 0:06:58.200 is it that you cannot have? Nothing? But the question lines, 0:06:58.240 --> 0:07:02.040 are you willing to work for everything? And you know 0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:05.039 what I has to make you happy? That's what I'm realizing, 0:07:05.080 --> 0:07:08.440 Because you gotta be crazy to go after your dreams. 0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:14.000 You gotta be crazy to go after something that not 0:07:14.120 --> 0:07:19.520 everyone can see. Heck, because you're in the process, it's 0:07:19.560 --> 0:07:25.640 still unraveling to you. So what do you want what 0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:29.400 does it look like? Are you willing to go the 0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:33.040 mill to seek it out? I know I am, but 0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:36.080 I get tired, And I said, I get tired. Sometimes 0:07:36.120 --> 0:07:37.960 I just have to pause. I just have to rest. 0:07:38.000 --> 0:07:40.280 Sometimes I just have to cry. Sometimes I just gotta 0:07:40.280 --> 0:07:43.280 get it out. But more importantly, I know that I 0:07:43.400 --> 0:07:47.640 just gotta keep going. You know, I had Lyrics Cross 0:07:47.680 --> 0:07:50.280 on the show, and I really appreciate something that she said, 0:07:50.640 --> 0:07:53.000 Like when we talk about God, when we talk about dreams, 0:07:53.040 --> 0:07:55.200 when we talk about being amazing, when we talk about 0:07:55.200 --> 0:07:59.920 being outstanding, when we talk about being extraordinary, it's outside 0:08:00.400 --> 0:08:06.880 the perimeters. When we talk about being outside of our 0:08:06.960 --> 0:08:10.880 comfort zone. They say, that's what the magic happens. Well, 0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:13.720 that's when you put the super on it. And she said, 0:08:14.040 --> 0:08:16.440 you gotta go ahead and do everything that you can, 0:08:16.640 --> 0:08:19.640 even when you're tired, even when you don't want to 0:08:19.720 --> 0:08:22.640 keep going, even when you don't know the next path 0:08:22.960 --> 0:08:26.480 in the direction to take, You just gotta keep going 0:08:26.600 --> 0:08:29.640 because when you keep putting one foot in front of 0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:33.800 the other and doing everything you can do in the natural, 0:08:34.160 --> 0:08:37.680 then you allow room to God put to put the 0:08:37.679 --> 0:08:42.120 super on it. What you hear, what I'm saying faith 0:08:42.160 --> 0:08:45.920 without works is dead. That's why you gotta be sure 0:08:46.240 --> 0:08:50.240 to know what you're asking for. That's why you have 0:08:50.400 --> 0:08:55.959 to value the journey so you can experience the experience, 0:08:56.960 --> 0:08:58.600 because then that's what you figure how to say what 0:08:58.640 --> 0:09:03.400 you want when everything's flashing before. It's so also good 0:09:03.440 --> 0:09:04.880 to say, oh, I want that, I want to be this, 0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:08.439 I want to do that. Well, essentially it's still just unraveling. 0:09:08.920 --> 0:09:10.520 And see that's where I pull it back to the 0:09:10.559 --> 0:09:14.480 groundings and why I appreciate them, Why I appreciate the 0:09:14.520 --> 0:09:18.800 craft to improv so much, the art, it's because all 0:09:18.920 --> 0:09:26.640 you can do is say yes and say yes. And 0:09:27.280 --> 0:09:28.720 do you even see how I say that that I 0:09:28.760 --> 0:09:33.839 have to put an exhale on it. Yes, And because 0:09:33.840 --> 0:09:36.280 we're building and you know, like that stress. There's nothing 0:09:36.280 --> 0:09:39.520 different from the contractions that a mother experienced to give 0:09:39.559 --> 0:09:42.600 in birth. I haven't had, you know, a baby yet, 0:09:42.960 --> 0:09:46.920 but I can experience cramps. It's a contraction. Heck, we've 0:09:47.000 --> 0:09:51.680 all experienced some sort of cramp. It's attention, it's a movement. 0:09:51.880 --> 0:09:55.400 It's an energy. It's a vibe electricity. And when you release, 0:09:55.520 --> 0:09:58.800 you stretch, you release it, you let go it feels good. 0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:05.760 It's a creation of something new. But guess what, you 0:10:05.880 --> 0:10:09.800 gotta let go so that it can flow. And see 0:10:10.400 --> 0:10:12.800 when you get out the way and stop worrying about 0:10:13.040 --> 0:10:15.439 if your next step is gonna lead to your next step, 0:10:15.480 --> 0:10:18.680 and just continue just to take the step, then that's 0:10:18.720 --> 0:10:21.600 when you realize. You give God the room to put 0:10:21.600 --> 0:10:24.400 the magic on it, You give God the room to 0:10:24.440 --> 0:10:28.040 put the super on it. Well, guess what, I've had 0:10:28.080 --> 0:10:31.480 time to take some time to realize that my dreams 0:10:31.520 --> 0:10:34.960 don't work unless I do. Sometimes I'm getting up at 0:10:35.000 --> 0:10:38.000 four am and not going in bed till eleven. Sometimes 0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:40.160 I'm having to go across the country because there's a 0:10:40.200 --> 0:10:44.160 family emergency. Sometimes I have friends and relationship loss that 0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:46.559 knocks the wind out of me. But I gotta keep going. 0:10:48.280 --> 0:10:52.920 Even Jesus felled down three times and kept going. Even 0:10:52.920 --> 0:10:56.360 Martin Luther King said he had a drink. Speak what 0:10:56.520 --> 0:11:00.440 you seek until you see what you said. You know, 0:11:00.480 --> 0:11:02.880 I had a friend the other day, um who were 0:11:02.880 --> 0:11:08.600 talking and he has a lot of celebrity friends and clients, 0:11:09.520 --> 0:11:11.840 and was talking about one friend and who had a 0:11:11.880 --> 0:11:16.600 show and basically decided not to continue with another show 0:11:17.280 --> 0:11:20.320 and said, oh man, you know that's just favorite. How 0:11:20.360 --> 0:11:23.280 do you omit the fact of not going after the 0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:26.520 show and then somebody offered you another show in the 0:11:26.640 --> 0:11:29.640 friend said, hey, this doesn't align with me and with 0:11:29.679 --> 0:11:31.960 my purpose now here in wait, check me out? Where 0:11:31.960 --> 0:11:35.319 am I going with this? This friend that I'm speaking 0:11:35.360 --> 0:11:39.640 of is so talented. I can do things unimaginable because 0:11:39.640 --> 0:11:41.800 guess what, we all can because we have the gift. Right. 0:11:42.240 --> 0:11:44.600 But the question is who's going to tap? I didn't 0:11:44.640 --> 0:11:49.280 say discover. I said tap into the potential. And see, 0:11:49.280 --> 0:11:51.680 even when you're tap on something, and when you tap 0:11:51.720 --> 0:11:56.679 it hard enough, even that has to break. Tap tap 0:11:57.559 --> 0:12:00.600 tap tap. Okay, I say all that to says, I'm 0:12:00.600 --> 0:12:03.200 thinking to myself, who are you to judge in the 0:12:03.280 --> 0:12:06.200 circumstances to somebody, if they're well known, they took a 0:12:06.280 --> 0:12:08.960 chance on their dreams to decipher what it is that 0:12:09.000 --> 0:12:13.640 they should do. You don't have the same steakes. You 0:12:13.679 --> 0:12:16.439 don't know what it's like to go outside the parameter, 0:12:16.679 --> 0:12:19.440 to step in the realm of where the extra lies. 0:12:19.840 --> 0:12:21.439 So we even go from that point where you think 0:12:21.440 --> 0:12:24.040 about it. We've talked about love and we talk about 0:12:24.080 --> 0:12:27.400 giving from the overflow. See, when we do everything in 0:12:27.440 --> 0:12:29.560 our realm, we allow God to put the extra, the 0:12:29.600 --> 0:12:32.400 super on it. We also realize that when it's in 0:12:32.440 --> 0:12:34.920 the overflow, when it's in an extra, when it's in 0:12:35.000 --> 0:12:38.960 the abundance. When we talk about more prosperity and abundance, 0:12:39.280 --> 0:12:42.480 you realize that it's nothing that you're lacking. Are you 0:12:42.559 --> 0:12:46.160 checking what I'm saying? So if you're doing everything that 0:12:46.200 --> 0:12:50.000 you can meet up, whether that is tapping into your potential, 0:12:50.400 --> 0:12:53.080 doing everything that you can, that's when you're realized that 0:12:53.160 --> 0:12:57.320 every day God has placed favor on your life. Sometimes 0:12:57.360 --> 0:12:59.680 it's easy to look at someone else because their favorite 0:12:59.720 --> 0:13:02.720 is packaged a little differently. Well, guess what, the greater 0:13:02.760 --> 0:13:05.400 the vision, the greater the reward. Some of the most 0:13:05.440 --> 0:13:07.320 beautiful places in the world have most some of the 0:13:07.360 --> 0:13:12.080 most disastrous storms. So is it a thing we look 0:13:12.120 --> 0:13:14.480 at somebody and we say in their life like, Wow, 0:13:14.559 --> 0:13:18.720 they got favor or is it more so, wow they 0:13:18.800 --> 0:13:23.640 tapped into their true potential because the promises there if 0:13:23.679 --> 0:13:26.839 you honor believing yourself. We see it as a little 0:13:26.920 --> 0:13:29.600 kid that we can do any and everything. At what 0:13:29.679 --> 0:13:32.560 point did we stop Is it because they started telling 0:13:32.600 --> 0:13:35.079 us to stand in line? Is it because we got 0:13:35.120 --> 0:13:36.880 to the point that we didn't realize whether or not 0:13:36.960 --> 0:13:40.040 we had the capacity to hold it. I say all 0:13:40.080 --> 0:13:42.520 this to say to that friend, it was how dare you? 0:13:43.559 --> 0:13:46.080 Who are you to speak on how somebody chooses to 0:13:46.120 --> 0:13:49.319 live out of favor that has been bestowed upon them, 0:13:49.360 --> 0:13:51.080 a favor that we would have never had a glimpse 0:13:51.120 --> 0:13:52.920 of had they not taken a chance on theirselves. But 0:13:53.000 --> 0:13:55.040 more so, why haven't you taken a chance on yourself? 0:13:55.360 --> 0:13:57.640 What is it that you want? You said that you 0:13:57.679 --> 0:13:59.520 wanted to be great, You said that you wanted to 0:13:59.520 --> 0:14:02.720 be a maze. Say, well, guess what that's gonna take growth. 0:14:03.120 --> 0:14:04.960 And it goes back to what I've been saying, is 0:14:05.000 --> 0:14:07.760 having the capacity to hold it when you're only going 0:14:07.800 --> 0:14:10.480 to know the capacity you can hold because it's going 0:14:10.559 --> 0:14:13.680 to take time, and the time is going to require 0:14:13.720 --> 0:14:15.840 you to be consistent. So this is a word for 0:14:15.920 --> 0:14:19.560 me to be consistent and just to keep going because 0:14:19.600 --> 0:14:21.680 sometimes I want to stop. Heck, I think sometimes we 0:14:21.760 --> 0:14:25.400 all want to stop. Right, Well, could you imagine if 0:14:25.440 --> 0:14:29.200 your your body decided to take his last breath? It 0:14:29.280 --> 0:14:33.480 doesn't it just keeps going right until it's time to 0:14:33.720 --> 0:14:36.800 take the last breath. So that goes into the notion 0:14:36.840 --> 0:14:39.440 I'm just still living, while you still alive, go after 0:14:39.480 --> 0:14:42.520 your dreams like you can still see them. The greater 0:14:42.560 --> 0:14:45.320 the vision, the greater the reward. So that's my check in. 0:14:45.720 --> 0:14:50.240 I'm grinding, y'all. There's no joke sometimes, and you know, 0:14:50.760 --> 0:14:53.080 people are like, how you doing, don I'm like, I'm good. 0:14:55.160 --> 0:14:58.600 But when they say it's always something, it's always something 0:14:58.600 --> 0:15:01.480 because it is always something. And I think that's why 0:15:01.560 --> 0:15:03.360 it comes in the notion I'm looking at life like 0:15:03.400 --> 0:15:06.320 a yen na yang, looking at life the same as 0:15:06.360 --> 0:15:09.640 the sun that rises in the day and the moon 0:15:09.680 --> 0:15:11.800 that sets at night. There's a light in the dark. 0:15:12.200 --> 0:15:14.520 It's never one that without the other. We just get 0:15:14.560 --> 0:15:16.080 so caught up with thinking that has to be all 0:15:16.160 --> 0:15:19.600 one way. God didn't have a one way vision. God's 0:15:19.680 --> 0:15:23.040 vision is universal. Do you hear what I'm saying. It 0:15:23.120 --> 0:15:26.640 doesn't cut off, it's a continuation. Heck, if he's the 0:15:26.720 --> 0:15:28.280 light and the way, if you even look at the sun, 0:15:28.360 --> 0:15:31.440 it's a complete circle. Stop playing with me. The beginning 0:15:31.520 --> 0:15:35.240 and the end starts there. Stop playing with me. Sometimes 0:15:35.280 --> 0:15:38.280 I keep killing myself. But I say all that to say, 0:15:38.720 --> 0:15:41.360 there's always going to be something. And if you're going 0:15:41.400 --> 0:15:46.280 after your dreams understanding that you are expanding your capacity 0:15:47.600 --> 0:15:50.520 because it takes more than what you are right now. 0:15:51.120 --> 0:15:54.840 It's going to take more than where you are right now. 0:15:55.280 --> 0:15:57.760 It's going to take more strength than what you have 0:15:58.040 --> 0:16:01.080 right now, because you are seeking keen to be more 0:16:01.520 --> 0:16:06.640 than who you are right now, not saying that you're enough, 0:16:07.360 --> 0:16:11.200 but you're talking about a new thing, and when discovering 0:16:11.200 --> 0:16:14.720 a new thing, you realize the experience is the same 0:16:14.800 --> 0:16:19.440 thing as that a k A discovery. You're gonna realize 0:16:19.440 --> 0:16:23.280 that some things are challenging, Dawn. You're gonna realize that 0:16:23.360 --> 0:16:26.080 some things are gonna require you to take less sleep, Dawn. 0:16:27.040 --> 0:16:29.680 You're gonna realize that you're gonna have to have uncomfortable 0:16:29.720 --> 0:16:36.160 conversations because you're sending boundaries. Dawn. But I appreciate the 0:16:36.360 --> 0:16:39.960 time that it took because now I've got greater things 0:16:39.960 --> 0:16:45.440 at stake. My dreams are manifesting. And whether you're listening 0:16:45.480 --> 0:16:48.760 to the podcast, you're watching me on TV, you follow 0:16:48.840 --> 0:16:53.360 me on social media, you see them in raveling. And 0:16:53.440 --> 0:16:57.640 it's not a one way ticket. It's not just a 0:16:57.720 --> 0:17:00.440 one size fit's one. It's a one size, but all 0:17:00.520 --> 0:17:04.400 as long as you show up and decide to be 0:17:04.800 --> 0:17:09.400 the one. That's what Larris was saying. You gotta show up. 0:17:12.240 --> 0:17:15.919 I'm showing up for my dreams. I'm showing up for 0:17:15.960 --> 0:17:22.160 my life. I'm showing up for who I am. I'm 0:17:22.160 --> 0:17:29.359 getting so uncomfortable. I'm doing things that scare me. I'm 0:17:29.400 --> 0:17:35.320 realizing that things don't have to be perfect. I just 0:17:35.359 --> 0:17:42.080 gotta hero And I guess I'm just getting emotional because 0:17:43.680 --> 0:17:49.800 that's what it takes to be great. And I want 0:17:49.840 --> 0:17:51.960 to do another thing and say this on a check in. 0:17:53.440 --> 0:17:55.800 As I've been building up for this moment to even 0:17:55.920 --> 0:18:01.560 have this podcast, I'm an asked and God in my meditation, 0:18:01.680 --> 0:18:09.960 I said, please heighten my level of discernment because God 0:18:10.280 --> 0:18:13.760 promised me and I got a promise of my life 0:18:14.560 --> 0:18:20.439 and I can't miss it now. The reason I'm getting 0:18:20.440 --> 0:18:25.480 emotional is because that whole situation of being uncomfortable, you know, 0:18:26.400 --> 0:18:30.440 and the stress, the strain, the stretch that it causes 0:18:30.480 --> 0:18:33.840 so that you can hold the capacity, is that we 0:18:33.920 --> 0:18:39.200 continuously we ask God, we're grateful um to have things right. 0:18:39.800 --> 0:18:41.440 We said, we want we want more, we want more 0:18:41.440 --> 0:18:44.920 in abundance. But realizing what it takes to hold that. 0:18:45.280 --> 0:18:48.680 So as I'm in this process and my dreams aren't raveling, 0:18:48.720 --> 0:18:53.160 and I'm stretching and I'm growing, I say, God, give 0:18:53.200 --> 0:18:56.720 me this level of discernment and what I'm learning now 0:18:57.320 --> 0:19:01.280 and the experience of my journy Jurney, because again, the 0:19:01.480 --> 0:19:07.560 journey is the experience. Is that I'm realizing that it's 0:19:07.600 --> 0:19:11.919 going to require some sort of capacity for me to hold. 0:19:12.920 --> 0:19:15.720 What that looks like is that if I've asked God 0:19:15.800 --> 0:19:18.679 to show me the discernment of people, right, whether it 0:19:18.720 --> 0:19:21.119 be my family, whether it be my friends, whether it 0:19:21.160 --> 0:19:23.720 be my co workers, so that I can truly see 0:19:23.920 --> 0:19:28.520 who they are. So what happens when the wolf takes 0:19:28.560 --> 0:19:32.800 off the sheep's clothing? Huh? What happens when that awesome 0:19:32.840 --> 0:19:37.119 opportunity your spirit, your gut is telling you know, you 0:19:37.200 --> 0:19:40.879 gotta be able to hold it because what you realize 0:19:40.920 --> 0:19:44.560 is there is an uncovering, there's an unveiling so you 0:19:44.600 --> 0:19:48.000 can live your best life. Well, guess what when the 0:19:48.119 --> 0:19:50.679 lights have been off for so long and you've asked 0:19:50.680 --> 0:19:53.399 God to be great and the lights cut on, it 0:19:53.480 --> 0:19:56.680 might blind you for a second. Do you understand the 0:19:56.720 --> 0:20:00.480 purpose of the journey. See, the journey is the same 0:20:00.560 --> 0:20:04.000 thing as getting you equipped. The journey is allowing you 0:20:04.040 --> 0:20:07.200 to see the light. The journey is to say, this 0:20:07.280 --> 0:20:08.840 is the light in the way, and I'm not gonna 0:20:08.920 --> 0:20:10.960 blind you, I'm not gonna take you out. So that's 0:20:11.000 --> 0:20:14.080 what I want to do with fighting in d It's 0:20:14.080 --> 0:20:17.280 gonna be a lot of unraveling with me. And I 0:20:17.320 --> 0:20:22.199 want to say this too. I know God got some 0:20:22.240 --> 0:20:28.640 stuff from me, some things that I'm not sure if 0:20:28.680 --> 0:20:32.520 I fully understand the capacity of it. But I'm gonna 0:20:32.560 --> 0:20:38.119 speak this. I'm gonna speak this. Uh, I'm a preacher. 0:20:39.440 --> 0:20:43.280 I probably already do it now, but I think probably 0:20:43.600 --> 0:20:47.320 I Um, I probably walked away for it, from it 0:20:47.640 --> 0:20:50.560 or the notion of it, because of what I felt, 0:20:51.119 --> 0:20:53.680 the weight that had to be bared on my shoulders. 0:20:55.480 --> 0:20:59.720 I remember my eighth grade teacher, Ms. Karma, May she 0:21:00.000 --> 0:21:03.719 West in peace. Um. I went to Catholic schools and 0:21:03.920 --> 0:21:06.639 I would always read like the first Readings or the 0:21:06.680 --> 0:21:12.440 Readings and the petitions now raised Baptist Catholic school. Now 0:21:12.600 --> 0:21:19.280 I'm none Christian, but I believe in God. Um. She said, oh, 0:21:19.359 --> 0:21:23.480 she's going to be a preacher one day. And I ran. 0:21:23.640 --> 0:21:25.120 I was like, oh my gosh, what do you mean. 0:21:25.200 --> 0:21:27.080 That means I have to be somewhere, I have to 0:21:27.119 --> 0:21:31.679 be this person. It's like no, God just wants you 0:21:31.720 --> 0:21:35.400 to show up as you are because I got a gift. 0:21:36.119 --> 0:21:39.679 I got a gift with words, I got a voice. 0:21:40.960 --> 0:21:44.920 They can move mountains. I didn't have people to save. 0:21:45.040 --> 0:21:48.080 That's something that I said has saved the lives. So 0:21:48.160 --> 0:21:53.200 I gotta do that. And see, this is an example 0:21:53.240 --> 0:21:56.200 of what Lyrists is saying. I just gotta keep showing 0:21:56.320 --> 0:21:59.399 up because when I get caught up in what the 0:21:59.440 --> 0:22:02.880 package how to look like and how it has the same, 0:22:03.200 --> 0:22:08.080 I don't forgotten what the gift actually is. And the 0:22:08.200 --> 0:22:12.240 gift is doing everything and the way that God made 0:22:12.359 --> 0:22:18.560 me so we can put his super on it. Vitamin 0:22:18.600 --> 0:22:23.119 decon change some lives. Heck, Vitamin D is changing my life. 0:22:24.720 --> 0:22:26.960 I didn't know it was gonna be so emotional. But 0:22:28.280 --> 0:22:31.359 I want you to see me, and I want you 0:22:31.440 --> 0:22:34.800 to hear me, and I want you to understand that 0:22:34.880 --> 0:22:39.280 you got greatness inside of you. And it's something that 0:22:39.359 --> 0:22:44.560 my mother taught me rest just so Gentice Hill. She 0:22:44.800 --> 0:22:49.040 just always taught me to be confident in yourself and 0:22:49.520 --> 0:22:53.280 step in assurance of knowing who you are. And we 0:22:53.480 --> 0:22:57.560 hear that because they say, in order to know who 0:22:57.680 --> 0:23:01.480 you are, you gotta know who's you are. Greater is 0:23:01.560 --> 0:23:04.399 he who is in me than he who was in 0:23:04.440 --> 0:23:08.119 the world. Now, whether you want to go in a 0:23:08.280 --> 0:23:14.240 Christian perspective, it's just saying, tap into you. I love 0:23:14.280 --> 0:23:17.840 thy neighbor as I love myself. Just love you and 0:23:18.119 --> 0:23:21.920 edify each other. We're supposed to be a reflection of light. 0:23:22.040 --> 0:23:27.120 To think about it, this little light of mine, I'm 0:23:27.200 --> 0:23:30.880 gonna let it shine? Are you gonna let it shine? 0:23:32.400 --> 0:23:37.119 Are you going to let it shine? Tech there's an 0:23:37.200 --> 0:23:39.680 energy jolt that we may experience. Like I talked about 0:23:39.680 --> 0:23:41.920 the cramps and the contractions. If you think about when 0:23:41.920 --> 0:23:48.040 fire is ignited, that was me making the noise. But no, honestly, seriously, 0:23:48.920 --> 0:23:54.040 are you ready to ignite your life? Are you ready? 0:23:54.720 --> 0:23:58.080 Because you ask God for more? You asked for this. 0:24:00.000 --> 0:24:03.120 But remember, like I told you how I didn't really 0:24:03.160 --> 0:24:06.680 take in consideration the capacity of what it's going to 0:24:06.760 --> 0:24:12.760 take to hold it. Stay consistent by being persistent, because 0:24:12.800 --> 0:24:18.080 all you're doing your stretching, God is stretching you. Your 0:24:18.200 --> 0:24:22.639 arms are stretching for the blessings in abundance. Remember, you 0:24:22.800 --> 0:24:26.160 have to speak what you seek until you see what 0:24:26.240 --> 0:24:30.439 you said. The greater the vision, the greater the reward. 0:24:30.920 --> 0:24:34.680 So this one everywhere and around everywhere to just everything. 0:24:35.200 --> 0:24:38.400 So that's what this check in the Vitamin D was about. Um, 0:24:38.440 --> 0:24:40.600 I hope that was something for you, because it was 0:24:40.680 --> 0:24:43.960 something for me. And I just want to say I 0:24:44.000 --> 0:24:46.280
