0:00:58.680 --> 0:01:00.880
<v Speaker 1>You probably just wild ap pleas a pause or a

0:01:00.920 --> 0:01:06.040
<v Speaker 1>reset or even pressed with wind. But guess what your

0:01:06.080 --> 0:01:08.759
<v Speaker 1>past is behind you and you don't live there anymore.

0:01:09.720 --> 0:01:11.880
<v Speaker 1>At what point are you going to decide to live.

0:01:12.319 --> 0:01:14.240
<v Speaker 1>At what point are you going to decide to take

0:01:14.240 --> 0:01:17.200
<v Speaker 1>a chance on yourself? At what point do you realize

0:01:17.200 --> 0:01:20.280
<v Speaker 1>and you recognize that you are not and you're worthy

0:01:20.319 --> 0:01:23.400
<v Speaker 1>of it, that dream, that relationship, whatever it is that

0:01:23.440 --> 0:01:26.280
<v Speaker 1>your heart desires. Because we're here for a good time,

0:01:26.319 --> 0:01:28.319
<v Speaker 1>not a long time. So we got to make a count,

0:01:28.880 --> 0:01:30.800
<v Speaker 1>and we make a count by living our lives on

0:01:30.920 --> 0:01:34.280
<v Speaker 1>purpose and for a purpose. There's a reason why they

0:01:34.319 --> 0:01:37.120
<v Speaker 1>say the cemetery is one of the wealthiest places on

0:01:37.200 --> 0:01:40.000
<v Speaker 1>earth because it's the place that so many people die

0:01:40.040 --> 0:01:43.680
<v Speaker 1>with their dreams, die with their aspirations, die with their

0:01:43.760 --> 0:01:46.640
<v Speaker 1>should have could or what us? So how come you

0:01:46.720 --> 0:01:49.440
<v Speaker 1>won't do it? How come you won't go after it?

0:01:49.640 --> 0:01:51.640
<v Speaker 1>How come you're waiting for somebody else to give you

0:01:51.680 --> 0:01:54.960
<v Speaker 1>permission to live out your greatest life? Why are you

0:01:55.080 --> 0:01:59.960
<v Speaker 1>trying to be comfortable? You said you wanted to grow right.

0:02:01.800 --> 0:02:05.120
<v Speaker 1>It makes me think about Harvey yet, Steve Harvey, And

0:02:05.240 --> 0:02:09.800
<v Speaker 1>if you check on YouTube, he has this animated series

0:02:10.760 --> 0:02:14.919
<v Speaker 1>video and it's talking about an acorn. And if you

0:02:15.000 --> 0:02:20.120
<v Speaker 1>realize in life, we're all like this acorn, and this

0:02:20.240 --> 0:02:24.960
<v Speaker 1>acorn can be placed in soil, it can be thrown

0:02:25.000 --> 0:02:30.160
<v Speaker 1>on cement, or perhaps just discarded. Now, let's take a look.

0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:33.600
<v Speaker 1>Oftentimes we're going after something and perhaps we're not ready.

0:02:34.000 --> 0:02:37.600
<v Speaker 1>It's like throwing our acorn on the sidewalk, on the cement.

0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:40.639
<v Speaker 1>It gets fried by the heat. There is no shelter,

0:02:40.760 --> 0:02:44.240
<v Speaker 1>there is no comfort, nothing happens to it. Right, But

0:02:44.280 --> 0:02:48.520
<v Speaker 1>guess what it's seen. Now, imagine if somebody were to

0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:52.639
<v Speaker 1>just gobble it up, an animal, fear, whatever it is,

0:02:53.240 --> 0:02:56.160
<v Speaker 1>just simply got stripped away from you. Then there's the

0:02:56.200 --> 0:03:01.160
<v Speaker 1>third option. When you put that bad boy. Now, I

0:03:01.200 --> 0:03:08.160
<v Speaker 1>get it. At first glance, it's gonna seem dark, it's

0:03:08.160 --> 0:03:12.040
<v Speaker 1>gonna be cold, you might even have some fertilizer thrown

0:03:12.120 --> 0:03:16.400
<v Speaker 1>on you. But you realize with time you scart to

0:03:16.440 --> 0:03:19.680
<v Speaker 1>go deeper, You start to go deeper, and then you

0:03:19.720 --> 0:03:21.760
<v Speaker 1>start to stretch out to go wider. The next thing

0:03:21.800 --> 0:03:25.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, you're pushing upward. And sometimes that's gonna require

0:03:25.840 --> 0:03:27.919
<v Speaker 1>you to get a little dirt on you. You know,

0:03:28.080 --> 0:03:32.400
<v Speaker 1>that fall, that scrape, that uncomfortableness, and then you sprinkle

0:03:32.440 --> 0:03:34.320
<v Speaker 1>some water on it, and it comes in the form

0:03:34.360 --> 0:03:37.920
<v Speaker 1>of tears or as we like to say, sweat equity.

0:03:39.480 --> 0:03:42.800
<v Speaker 1>But man, oh man, when that right season comes, not

0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:45.040
<v Speaker 1>when you want to force it because you decide that

0:03:45.080 --> 0:03:48.840
<v Speaker 1>you want to be impatient, but when you steadfast and

0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:51.880
<v Speaker 1>you stay ten toes down and you realize you can't

0:03:51.880 --> 0:03:54.720
<v Speaker 1>fail if you don't quit, when that season comes, when

0:03:54.800 --> 0:04:00.280
<v Speaker 1>your time comes, when that evolution comes, my gosh, you're

0:04:00.320 --> 0:04:04.720
<v Speaker 1>gonna have no choice but to go up. And then

0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:06.480
<v Speaker 1>you are going to be in awe of your beauty

0:04:07.120 --> 0:04:09.280
<v Speaker 1>and you're gonna realize how much of a covering you

0:04:09.320 --> 0:04:18.000
<v Speaker 1>have been to other people, other things, providing shelter, providing nutrients,

0:04:18.040 --> 0:04:22.600
<v Speaker 1>providing shade, proviting. But guess what, you have to go

0:04:22.680 --> 0:04:26.000
<v Speaker 1>through some things. And I get it. You want it

0:04:26.000 --> 0:04:28.080
<v Speaker 1>to be easy. But if it were easy, would it

0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:30.120
<v Speaker 1>be worth it. If it weren't easy, it would be

0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:32.400
<v Speaker 1>easy to lose. But when you gotta work for something,

0:04:32.560 --> 0:04:34.680
<v Speaker 1>when you gotta go through things and make you just

0:04:34.720 --> 0:04:38.680
<v Speaker 1>want to hold on. So I say hold on. And see,

0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:41.080
<v Speaker 1>you gonna have people coming around you, and they're gonna

0:04:41.120 --> 0:04:43.960
<v Speaker 1>be laughing. They're gonna be scoffing talking about something. Oh

0:04:44.040 --> 0:04:48.120
<v Speaker 1>he got this dream, I don't see it anywhere. Or

0:04:48.160 --> 0:04:50.760
<v Speaker 1>they sure are stinky, or they sure are dirty. They're

0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:53.240
<v Speaker 1>grinding because you're on your bike because you ain't got

0:04:53.320 --> 0:04:55.960
<v Speaker 1>no car, because you in between jobs, because you're building

0:04:56.040 --> 0:04:58.240
<v Speaker 1>up your confidence, because you are afraid to step into

0:04:58.240 --> 0:05:00.880
<v Speaker 1>the light of my God. When you decide to take root,

0:05:01.480 --> 0:05:04.400
<v Speaker 1>when you decide to take a chance, will you decide

0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:08.440
<v Speaker 1>to exercise your muscles? Oh my gosh, still standing all

0:05:09.000 --> 0:05:11.360
<v Speaker 1>and you know what, sometimes it looks like. It made

0:05:11.400 --> 0:05:15.960
<v Speaker 1>me think about two people this week, both in which

0:05:16.000 --> 0:05:19.679
<v Speaker 1>I consider to be good friends. They were talking about

0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:23.320
<v Speaker 1>respective people that they work with in their respective industries.

0:05:23.760 --> 0:05:26.480
<v Speaker 1>We had one person say, okay, this is a person

0:05:26.480 --> 0:05:28.960
<v Speaker 1>that's kind of like in the sales field, and they

0:05:28.960 --> 0:05:31.560
<v Speaker 1>were like, don you should see them what they be wearing?

0:05:31.960 --> 0:05:34.000
<v Speaker 1>Now she knows she ain't got no business wearing that.

0:05:34.080 --> 0:05:36.320
<v Speaker 1>And I said, well, what's going on what she wearing? Well,

0:05:36.360 --> 0:05:39.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, she's kind of heavy set, and she'd just

0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:41.000
<v Speaker 1>be standing in front of the crowd doing what she

0:05:41.040 --> 0:05:44.400
<v Speaker 1>gotta do. I said, well, what's wrong with that? Then

0:05:44.680 --> 0:05:48.800
<v Speaker 1>a couple of weeks come by, this same individual is

0:05:48.880 --> 0:05:53.520
<v Speaker 1>still speaking about the said individual and says, oh my gosh,

0:05:53.600 --> 0:05:57.320
<v Speaker 1>I got it up my game. This person has made

0:05:57.360 --> 0:05:59.680
<v Speaker 1>seventy thousand dollars in one month and I had to

0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:02.520
<v Speaker 1>add my friend. I said, well, wait a minute, is

0:06:02.560 --> 0:06:05.279
<v Speaker 1>this the same woman that you were talking about that

0:06:05.400 --> 0:06:07.960
<v Speaker 1>need to take a seat sometimes, or you talk about

0:06:08.000 --> 0:06:10.839
<v Speaker 1>she ain't got no business wearing the clothes that she's wearing.

0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:14.400
<v Speaker 1>And they said yes, And I said, oh my gosh.

0:06:14.560 --> 0:06:16.880
<v Speaker 1>See what happens is is when people can beat them,

0:06:16.920 --> 0:06:19.000
<v Speaker 1>they decide to join them. So that's why you got

0:06:19.000 --> 0:06:21.679
<v Speaker 1>to keep doing you, because doing you is what works

0:06:21.680 --> 0:06:26.040
<v Speaker 1>for you. In fact, everything that your heart desires requires

0:06:26.040 --> 0:06:28.920
<v Speaker 1>you to show up, all that you can pee. It

0:06:29.000 --> 0:06:31.479
<v Speaker 1>came to you for a reason. In no way, it

0:06:31.520 --> 0:06:33.760
<v Speaker 1>didn't get the wrong address. And that's why I'm steal

0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:36.320
<v Speaker 1>the burning desires in your heart. That's why you find

0:06:36.360 --> 0:06:39.800
<v Speaker 1>yourself in every other situation. And it still isn't enough

0:06:40.839 --> 0:06:43.760
<v Speaker 1>because it's going to require you. Can I give you

0:06:43.839 --> 0:06:47.560
<v Speaker 1>the second example. So another friend in a different industry,

0:06:48.360 --> 0:06:52.200
<v Speaker 1>let's just go. This said industry is promoted on social media.

0:06:52.960 --> 0:06:56.839
<v Speaker 1>And this individual had a rhyme to their name. You

0:06:56.880 --> 0:06:59.000
<v Speaker 1>know how, sometimes I'd be like dawn, like the break

0:06:59.000 --> 0:07:02.000
<v Speaker 1>of day, what I have to say, Let's say something

0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:06.520
<v Speaker 1>rhyming or catchy like that. And this friend said, oh

0:07:06.560 --> 0:07:09.800
<v Speaker 1>my gosh, John somebody need to tell them about rhyming

0:07:09.840 --> 0:07:12.600
<v Speaker 1>about whatever they were rhyming about. And I was like, well,

0:07:12.640 --> 0:07:14.720
<v Speaker 1>what's wrong with that? I thought it was kind of catchy.

0:07:15.080 --> 0:07:18.080
<v Speaker 1>I thought it was kind of cute. I thought it

0:07:18.200 --> 0:07:22.800
<v Speaker 1>was quite clever. Do you know, next thing come out

0:07:22.840 --> 0:07:25.720
<v Speaker 1>their mouth? They were up there trying to rhyme something

0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:29.120
<v Speaker 1>with their name. Now, I'm not saying that either individual

0:07:29.280 --> 0:07:33.680
<v Speaker 1>is a bad person, because we're human. But the message

0:07:33.720 --> 0:07:35.920
<v Speaker 1>I have for you is that's why you got to

0:07:36.080 --> 0:07:44.400
<v Speaker 1>keep doing you. You realize that their conversation was reverse admiration, right,

0:07:44.960 --> 0:07:47.920
<v Speaker 1>because if you can't beat them, then doin them. How

0:07:47.960 --> 0:07:50.320
<v Speaker 1>many times have you had somebody ridicule what it is

0:07:50.360 --> 0:07:53.200
<v Speaker 1>that you're doing, place in some type of judgment, telling

0:07:53.240 --> 0:07:55.120
<v Speaker 1>you how you could have did it better, or perhaps

0:07:55.360 --> 0:07:58.360
<v Speaker 1>how they would not have done it at all? And

0:07:58.960 --> 0:08:02.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, I've been guilty of it. How sometimes

0:08:02.240 --> 0:08:05.600
<v Speaker 1>I decided to step back, How sometimes I decided to wait.

0:08:05.800 --> 0:08:08.360
<v Speaker 1>How sometimes I decided I was doing too much? But no,

0:08:08.920 --> 0:08:13.480
<v Speaker 1>I didn't realize that I was doing just enough. And

0:08:13.520 --> 0:08:16.840
<v Speaker 1>that makes me circle back with you. You are doing

0:08:17.280 --> 0:08:22.080
<v Speaker 1>you just enough. Stop trying to put on a different cloak,

0:08:23.640 --> 0:08:29.119
<v Speaker 1>reflect a different image and being something that you're not. No,

0:08:30.560 --> 0:08:34.560
<v Speaker 1>these dreams and aspirations came to you for a reason.

0:08:35.880 --> 0:08:37.960
<v Speaker 1>Get out the whole idea of what it looks like.

0:08:38.200 --> 0:08:40.480
<v Speaker 1>How about we get back to what it feels like.

0:08:40.880 --> 0:08:46.000
<v Speaker 1>Does it feel authentic to you? Because what you're asking

0:08:46.080 --> 0:08:50.080
<v Speaker 1>for is going to require all of you, not only

0:08:50.240 --> 0:08:52.640
<v Speaker 1>some of you that looks good in makeup, Not that

0:08:52.760 --> 0:08:54.840
<v Speaker 1>part of you that looks good in the best of lights,

0:08:55.080 --> 0:08:57.160
<v Speaker 1>not that part of you that's in that perfect frame.

0:08:57.200 --> 0:09:01.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm talking about all three sixty of you. You. It's

0:09:01.920 --> 0:09:04.520
<v Speaker 1>going to require you to show up. So I want

0:09:04.559 --> 0:09:07.320
<v Speaker 1>you to show up for your dreams, show up for

0:09:07.400 --> 0:09:12.120
<v Speaker 1>your life, show up simply because you are you, and

0:09:12.200 --> 0:09:15.640
<v Speaker 1>take a chance on yourself. Get uncomfortable. Stop waiting for

0:09:15.679 --> 0:09:18.440
<v Speaker 1>the moment for it to be right, because next thing

0:09:18.480 --> 0:09:22.839
<v Speaker 1>you know, you're gonna be dead. And I get it.

0:09:23.040 --> 0:09:25.840
<v Speaker 1>I say that often, and people look at me and disturbed, like,

0:09:25.880 --> 0:09:28.240
<v Speaker 1>oh my gosh, why did you say it like that?

0:09:28.360 --> 0:09:32.559
<v Speaker 1>Because it is like that, and I don't understand how

0:09:32.640 --> 0:09:35.120
<v Speaker 1>much time you are going to be waiting for the

0:09:35.160 --> 0:09:38.560
<v Speaker 1>perfect moment. I say that to you as I say

0:09:38.600 --> 0:09:41.880
<v Speaker 1>that to me, whether it comes from me releasing weight

0:09:42.000 --> 0:09:44.560
<v Speaker 1>or losing it and finding it back, whether it comes

0:09:44.559 --> 0:09:47.200
<v Speaker 1>from me. In preparation for this podcast, you gotta put

0:09:47.240 --> 0:09:51.200
<v Speaker 1>one foot in front of the other and move. You know,

0:09:51.200 --> 0:09:54.480
<v Speaker 1>if you stop moving, you'd be dead. Or if you

0:09:54.559 --> 0:09:58.040
<v Speaker 1>keep moving in the same direction, wondering why things aren't changing,

0:09:58.080 --> 0:10:02.680
<v Speaker 1>you realize you're just functioning. Baha. When you choose to live,

0:10:02.760 --> 0:10:05.280
<v Speaker 1>you realize that you grow. And when you grow, it's

0:10:05.320 --> 0:10:08.040
<v Speaker 1>going to require stretching. It's going to require you to

0:10:08.040 --> 0:10:11.600
<v Speaker 1>get uncomfortable. It's going to require some sweat equity that

0:10:11.720 --> 0:10:13.960
<v Speaker 1>may come in the form of tears. But guess what,

0:10:14.240 --> 0:10:19.120
<v Speaker 1>You're still growing. Therefore you're still going. So keep doing you,

0:10:20.720 --> 0:10:23.400
<v Speaker 1>and keep showing up for yourself, and keep taking a

0:10:23.480 --> 0:10:27.120
<v Speaker 1>chance on yourself because you are worth it. Perhaps every

0:10:27.200 --> 0:10:30.199
<v Speaker 1>person that you're looking at that you admire, you realize

0:10:30.200 --> 0:10:32.720
<v Speaker 1>that they took a chance on themselves. You realize that

0:10:32.760 --> 0:10:35.280
<v Speaker 1>they dare to be different. You realize that they found

0:10:35.320 --> 0:10:39.120
<v Speaker 1>that the perfect timing is right now, right now, today,

0:10:39.240 --> 0:10:43.000
<v Speaker 1>at this moment. So wipe them tears and figure it out.

0:10:43.280 --> 0:10:45.960
<v Speaker 1>You getting tired of trying to figure out why you

0:10:46.040 --> 0:10:48.520
<v Speaker 1>can't find the right job for you, because perhaps it's

0:10:48.600 --> 0:10:50.480
<v Speaker 1>time for you to sit down and create that job.

0:10:51.400 --> 0:10:54.520
<v Speaker 1>Perhaps you are the juice, whether you're seeking out the juice,

0:10:55.040 --> 0:10:56.680
<v Speaker 1>So why don't you go ahead and make it? Do

0:10:56.760 --> 0:11:00.400
<v Speaker 1>what it do? I mean, damn? How long are you

0:11:00.480 --> 0:11:03.920
<v Speaker 1>going to wait? I mean damn? How many excuses are

0:11:03.920 --> 0:11:06.760
<v Speaker 1>you going to find? I mean damn? At what point

0:11:06.800 --> 0:11:15.880
<v Speaker 1>do you say? Wake up? Wake up, wake up. It's

0:11:15.880 --> 0:11:18.880
<v Speaker 1>time for you to dare to be great, and it's

0:11:18.920 --> 0:11:23.280
<v Speaker 1>going to require you to be there to be different. Okay,

0:11:25.040 --> 0:11:27.679
<v Speaker 1>I say that to you as I say that to me,

0:11:27.840 --> 0:11:32.000
<v Speaker 1>and give yourself some grace. And what do I say grace?

0:11:32.080 --> 0:11:36.040
<v Speaker 1>Ain't nothing but space to stretch out, to turn around,

0:11:36.280 --> 0:11:41.400
<v Speaker 1>to flip it over, and to start it again. You

0:11:41.480 --> 0:11:43.839
<v Speaker 1>might as well use the time while you got it right,

0:11:44.360 --> 0:11:47.080
<v Speaker 1>whether they're just sitting there in the dark, whether they're

0:11:47.120 --> 0:11:49.640
<v Speaker 1>just sitting there rocking back and forth, rather than just

0:11:49.760 --> 0:11:53.400
<v Speaker 1>lying allowing your brain to go in circles, you got

0:11:53.480 --> 0:12:02.280
<v Speaker 1>biggle in in circles. Boom boom boom, around and around

0:12:02.600 --> 0:12:06.040
<v Speaker 1>and done go. You didn't expect for all that. I

0:12:06.040 --> 0:12:07.920
<v Speaker 1>didn't either. Shoot, I didn't know. I just opened up

0:12:07.920 --> 0:12:10.760
<v Speaker 1>this mic and started talking. Why Because I was up

0:12:10.800 --> 0:12:13.720
<v Speaker 1>here figuring out what's going on as to watch video

0:12:13.760 --> 0:12:15.720
<v Speaker 1>isn't showing up, And I said, you know what, done

0:12:16.200 --> 0:12:18.679
<v Speaker 1>at the end of the day, we need to get

0:12:18.679 --> 0:12:22.120
<v Speaker 1>this conversation out. We need to get there because somebody

0:12:22.400 --> 0:12:28.599
<v Speaker 1>just might be you may hear this and get inspired. Yeah,

0:12:28.640 --> 0:12:32.520
<v Speaker 1>And I have printed out some resources and information to

0:12:32.600 --> 0:12:37.200
<v Speaker 1>get informations, information to get started with you today. And

0:12:38.280 --> 0:12:40.280
<v Speaker 1>next thing I know, I look up and it's late

0:12:40.320 --> 0:12:42.160
<v Speaker 1>at night, and I said, you know what, I still

0:12:42.160 --> 0:12:45.120
<v Speaker 1>got to leave something because I promised myself that I

0:12:45.160 --> 0:12:49.679
<v Speaker 1>will say one Thursday, you probably won't get a new episode. Heck,

0:12:49.679 --> 0:12:53.080
<v Speaker 1>if you're listening to this, this is probably Wednesday, but

0:12:53.360 --> 0:12:56.120
<v Speaker 1>right now it's Tuesday. But by the time you listen

0:12:56.160 --> 0:12:58.600
<v Speaker 1>to it, it'll be Wednesday. And when you come back

0:12:58.600 --> 0:13:01.920
<v Speaker 1>and expecting a new episode on Thursday, chances are they

0:13:01.920 --> 0:13:04.640
<v Speaker 1>may not be. Or I may actually recorded from home

0:13:05.800 --> 0:13:08.800
<v Speaker 1>because I will be attending a meeting for Black Men's

0:13:08.840 --> 0:13:11.640
<v Speaker 1>Wellness Day. If you've been following you for a bent,

0:13:12.240 --> 0:13:14.760
<v Speaker 1>even from the FM dial and even on Vitamin D

0:13:14.800 --> 0:13:17.560
<v Speaker 1>with Dawndee, you know that I had a conversation with

0:13:17.679 --> 0:13:22.040
<v Speaker 1>the LA coordinator for the African American Male Wellness Agency

0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:27.080
<v Speaker 1>and the Los Angeles Chapter Department Sector basically the chair

0:13:27.240 --> 0:13:30.280
<v Speaker 1>for Los Angeles. His name is Jade Barnes. And so

0:13:30.400 --> 0:13:32.640
<v Speaker 1>now they brought me upon the team to support with

0:13:33.440 --> 0:13:36.000
<v Speaker 1>social media. You know that's not my thing. You know

0:13:36.240 --> 0:13:38.440
<v Speaker 1>I like to say content is king. Well consider me

0:13:38.480 --> 0:13:41.800
<v Speaker 1>the Queen. Just cite the game of Chess, who run

0:13:41.800 --> 0:13:45.760
<v Speaker 1>at the Queen Dante. Hey. I say all that to say,

0:13:45.800 --> 0:13:48.400
<v Speaker 1>we have a committee meeting that's happening on Thursday, the

0:13:48.400 --> 0:13:51.280
<v Speaker 1>time that I'll be in the studio, and I want

0:13:51.320 --> 0:13:53.640
<v Speaker 1>to be sure to stick with the schedule to ensure

0:13:53.679 --> 0:13:56.840
<v Speaker 1>that not only am I posting up new episodes every

0:13:56.880 --> 0:13:59.920
<v Speaker 1>Tuesdays and Thursdays, but I also intend to be going.

0:14:00.320 --> 0:14:02.720
<v Speaker 1>But we're constantly figuring things out in the studio. But

0:14:02.760 --> 0:14:07.400
<v Speaker 1>guess what, I'm in the studio, baby, hay. So I

0:14:07.400 --> 0:14:09.160
<v Speaker 1>say all that to say just to give you the

0:14:09.200 --> 0:14:12.520
<v Speaker 1>four to the one one. That's what's going on. And

0:14:14.160 --> 0:14:16.360
<v Speaker 1>I got the message on my spirits to keep going,

0:14:17.000 --> 0:14:19.080
<v Speaker 1>to try it out, and to take a chance, because

0:14:19.080 --> 0:14:20.880
<v Speaker 1>that's what I'm doing, and I want you to do

0:14:20.920 --> 0:14:23.480
<v Speaker 1>the same for yourself too, because at some point you're

0:14:23.480 --> 0:14:25.880
<v Speaker 1>gonna figure it out. At some point you're gonna find

0:14:25.920 --> 0:14:28.320
<v Speaker 1>your way. Heck, if some point you'll know where you're

0:14:28.320 --> 0:14:31.720
<v Speaker 1>going because you know where you are. I talked about

0:14:31.720 --> 0:14:34.480
<v Speaker 1>this on the last episode when I said about how

0:14:34.520 --> 0:14:37.680
<v Speaker 1>your location is not your destination, but you always have

0:14:37.760 --> 0:14:40.440
<v Speaker 1>to have a starting point because wherever it is that

0:14:40.480 --> 0:14:45.680
<v Speaker 1>you're intended to go basically somewhere different than you are.

0:14:45.760 --> 0:14:49.520
<v Speaker 1>Right now, you realize you got to have a starting point. Well,

0:14:49.960 --> 0:14:53.280
<v Speaker 1>the key word is to start. They say you don't

0:14:53.320 --> 0:14:55.480
<v Speaker 1>have to be great to get started, but you have

0:14:55.600 --> 0:14:57.600
<v Speaker 1>to start in order to be great. And I want

0:14:57.600 --> 0:15:00.400
<v Speaker 1>you to start today. I want you to to start

0:15:00.480 --> 0:15:02.680
<v Speaker 1>writing the vision and making it plain. I want you

0:15:02.760 --> 0:15:04.600
<v Speaker 1>to start speaking it over your life. I want you

0:15:04.640 --> 0:15:07.160
<v Speaker 1>to wipe them tears and get up and get moving. Okay,

0:15:07.920 --> 0:15:11.240
<v Speaker 1>all right, Because when I tell you when it's time

0:15:11.280 --> 0:15:13.440
<v Speaker 1>for me to show up in the light that I'm

0:15:13.480 --> 0:15:16.040
<v Speaker 1>showing up, I want you to play back these episodes.

0:15:16.680 --> 0:15:18.960
<v Speaker 1>I want you to hear how every time I thought

0:15:18.960 --> 0:15:20.800
<v Speaker 1>I was at a peak, I realized I was at

0:15:20.840 --> 0:15:25.440
<v Speaker 1>a valley of another mountain, of another hel of another

0:15:25.480 --> 0:15:30.880
<v Speaker 1>part of my journey. But they always say there's dusk

0:15:31.000 --> 0:15:36.080
<v Speaker 1>before that's gone, and joy comes in the morning. Hey,

0:15:37.640 --> 0:15:40.600
<v Speaker 1>lunching out for faul, but just checking in and wanted

0:15:40.640 --> 0:15:42.960
<v Speaker 1>to remind you to keep going. Okay. I hope this

0:15:43.040 --> 0:15:45.600
<v Speaker 1>message has inspired you, and if it has, can you

0:15:45.640 --> 0:15:48.040
<v Speaker 1>share with somebody else and can you make sure to

0:15:48.120 --> 0:15:51.640
<v Speaker 1>leave a review? Okay. That's how we're gonna spread the word,

0:15:51.640 --> 0:15:53.560
