WEBVTT - Self-Reflection

0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:05.400
<v Speaker 1>Get your right right with me. I get excited about

0:00:08.720 --> 0:00:12.879
<v Speaker 1>good morning, good afternoon, good evening. You are tuned into

0:00:12.920 --> 0:00:15.520
<v Speaker 1>the Vitamin D Podcast and you know I'm your host,

0:00:15.600 --> 0:00:18.680
<v Speaker 1>Dawn Day, here to get you excited about your life

0:00:18.960 --> 0:00:21.239
<v Speaker 1>here so that we can all live life on purpose

0:00:21.280 --> 0:00:24.520
<v Speaker 1>and for a purpose here because you know, it's my

0:00:24.600 --> 0:00:28.880
<v Speaker 1>dream honestly, and I'm glad that you're here, and I'm

0:00:28.920 --> 0:00:30.800
<v Speaker 1>glad for this journey. And I guess that's something I

0:00:30.840 --> 0:00:33.680
<v Speaker 1>want to talk to you about, just about the journey

0:00:33.680 --> 0:00:37.199
<v Speaker 1>of life. And you know I I do ever, so

0:00:37.280 --> 0:00:39.400
<v Speaker 1>now then I do like a check in, just like

0:00:39.440 --> 0:00:41.599
<v Speaker 1>a tapping, because I think oftentimes we need to check

0:00:41.600 --> 0:00:44.959
<v Speaker 1>in ourselves what we're going, how we're doing. And as

0:00:45.000 --> 0:00:48.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm on this journey of how my dreams and talking

0:00:48.320 --> 0:00:51.120
<v Speaker 1>about how vitamin is the dream and how I got

0:00:51.120 --> 0:00:53.280
<v Speaker 1>to expand with the dream, it just causes me to

0:00:53.360 --> 0:01:00.640
<v Speaker 1>do some self reflection. You know, isn't it so interesting

0:01:00.760 --> 0:01:04.600
<v Speaker 1>that um our eyes there on our front of our heads,

0:01:04.600 --> 0:01:09.280
<v Speaker 1>our face, right, and it's so easy for to see

0:01:09.319 --> 0:01:12.960
<v Speaker 1>everything in front of us except for our own reflection.

0:01:15.280 --> 0:01:21.440
<v Speaker 1>And oftentimes, or I shouldn't say often, but sometimes we

0:01:21.560 --> 0:01:24.080
<v Speaker 1>find ourselves running from the very thing that's right in

0:01:24.120 --> 0:01:28.200
<v Speaker 1>front of us. And the thing is that we can

0:01:28.280 --> 0:01:32.360
<v Speaker 1>keep on running, not realizing that we're not going anywhere fast.

0:01:33.520 --> 0:01:35.039
<v Speaker 1>And I think sometimes it gets in the way of

0:01:35.040 --> 0:01:38.240
<v Speaker 1>our dreams. I think sometimes it gets in the way

0:01:38.280 --> 0:01:43.400
<v Speaker 1>of our careers. Um love anything that is an extension

0:01:43.440 --> 0:01:47.280
<v Speaker 1>of us. And basically because we didn't choose to see it,

0:01:48.080 --> 0:01:51.600
<v Speaker 1>we didn't choose to acknowledge it, but more importantly, we

0:01:51.640 --> 0:01:55.880
<v Speaker 1>didn't choose to receive it. And I say that because

0:01:56.320 --> 0:01:59.080
<v Speaker 1>when you look think about it, looking at yourself in

0:01:59.120 --> 0:02:02.920
<v Speaker 1>the reflection, you have to stand there to receive what

0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:07.840
<v Speaker 1>you see. But if you can't receive what you see,

0:02:07.880 --> 0:02:09.639
<v Speaker 1>how can you be the gift that you were meant

0:02:09.680 --> 0:02:11.560
<v Speaker 1>to be. Hence, that's why we're here in the present,

0:02:12.800 --> 0:02:17.440
<v Speaker 1>right they say, no better time now than the present.

0:02:18.200 --> 0:02:22.480
<v Speaker 1>They say, the gift is in the present. We understand

0:02:22.720 --> 0:02:25.800
<v Speaker 1>all of these energies, these forces when we're forced to

0:02:25.880 --> 0:02:31.840
<v Speaker 1>be in the presence. However, oftentimes it's hard for us

0:02:31.880 --> 0:02:36.400
<v Speaker 1>to be in the presence of ourselves. So then I

0:02:36.440 --> 0:02:40.440
<v Speaker 1>have to ask you, what do you really want? What

0:02:40.520 --> 0:02:44.040
<v Speaker 1>do you want? Because if we are in a situation

0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:46.600
<v Speaker 1>to see ourselves, how do we know what we need?

0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:50.480
<v Speaker 1>How can you know what you do not see? Therefore,

0:02:50.520 --> 0:02:54.120
<v Speaker 1>how can you be? And if you really think about it,

0:02:54.600 --> 0:02:56.799
<v Speaker 1>that's the only assignment that we have right now is

0:02:56.880 --> 0:03:01.840
<v Speaker 1>just to be. I'm talking to my assistant Jeremiah and

0:03:01.880 --> 0:03:04.760
<v Speaker 1>talking about my plant in my home and he said,

0:03:04.800 --> 0:03:06.720
<v Speaker 1>don you did you name me yet? I was like no.

0:03:07.680 --> 0:03:09.600
<v Speaker 1>He was like, you should just make up a name,

0:03:09.639 --> 0:03:12.440
<v Speaker 1>maybe like a Latin or Spanish name. And right now

0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:15.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm all in this mode with this fragrance by East St. Laurent.

0:03:15.680 --> 0:03:19.320
<v Speaker 1>It's called Libra and it's like free freedom. And I

0:03:19.360 --> 0:03:21.760
<v Speaker 1>was like, wow, this goes along perfect with it, because

0:03:21.760 --> 0:03:25.080
<v Speaker 1>when I first got the plant, um, it was bind

0:03:25.160 --> 0:03:28.160
<v Speaker 1>it together for strings, these strings, so that it could

0:03:28.280 --> 0:03:31.520
<v Speaker 1>look like it's standing straight up, right? Isn't that kind

0:03:31.520 --> 0:03:34.200
<v Speaker 1>of like us? We put on these clothes, we put

0:03:34.200 --> 0:03:36.360
<v Speaker 1>on these personalities, put on his hat, these glasses so

0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:40.600
<v Speaker 1>we can have this look of who we are. And

0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:44.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, Um, I had taken off the string a

0:03:44.320 --> 0:03:46.440
<v Speaker 1>couple of weeks before that, So when he when we

0:03:46.440 --> 0:03:48.480
<v Speaker 1>were talking about I was like, oh, that's perfect cause

0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:51.960
<v Speaker 1>I was like here, I was so caught up and

0:03:51.960 --> 0:03:55.280
<v Speaker 1>in this plant looking straight up, and I said, aren't

0:03:55.280 --> 0:03:59.320
<v Speaker 1>we just supposed to be free? Free to be? Isn't

0:03:59.360 --> 0:04:01.880
<v Speaker 1>that the beauty of looking at the reflection of how

0:04:01.960 --> 0:04:05.320
<v Speaker 1>you just let it be and then receive it? And

0:04:05.360 --> 0:04:07.000
<v Speaker 1>so I look at the beauty of my plan. Right now,

0:04:07.040 --> 0:04:09.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm at home and I'm like, she's just free. So

0:04:09.080 --> 0:04:12.440
<v Speaker 1>maybe her name is Leeve, right, but as just checking

0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:18.279
<v Speaker 1>um and looking at my reflection, it's just time to

0:04:18.440 --> 0:04:26.279
<v Speaker 1>really see who Dawn is. You're not scary, right because,

0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:28.240
<v Speaker 1>like I said, your eyes are in front of you,

0:04:28.279 --> 0:04:30.880
<v Speaker 1>so it's so easy to dictate and to see everything else.

0:04:30.880 --> 0:04:33.400
<v Speaker 1>But what happens what you have to look at the

0:04:33.520 --> 0:04:37.520
<v Speaker 1>person who looks like you. There's no denying it because

0:04:37.520 --> 0:04:40.240
<v Speaker 1>it is what it is. And so that's why I

0:04:40.279 --> 0:04:45.159
<v Speaker 1>ask you, what do you really want? Who do you

0:04:45.200 --> 0:04:48.080
<v Speaker 1>want to be? Because you can't be what you cannot see.

0:04:48.120 --> 0:04:49.400
<v Speaker 1>And if you're standing in front of yourself and you

0:04:49.440 --> 0:04:51.800
<v Speaker 1>can't even see who you are, what is to say

0:04:51.839 --> 0:04:55.679
<v Speaker 1>about those dreams that you had? What does that mean?

0:04:56.240 --> 0:04:58.520
<v Speaker 1>Because you can say all day that this is you

0:04:58.560 --> 0:05:00.679
<v Speaker 1>want to achieve, But if you are doing the proper

0:05:00.760 --> 0:05:02.640
<v Speaker 1>check in of the self reflection to see where you've

0:05:02.640 --> 0:05:05.359
<v Speaker 1>been where you're going, how you're doing, how do you

0:05:05.400 --> 0:05:08.279
<v Speaker 1>know where you are? Where is the measurement. I did

0:05:08.279 --> 0:05:10.320
<v Speaker 1>not say to look at what everyone else is doing,

0:05:10.320 --> 0:05:12.760
<v Speaker 1>but more importantly, what are you doing? So I say, Dawn,

0:05:13.480 --> 0:05:15.479
<v Speaker 1>what are you doing? Because I talked about this before

0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:18.479
<v Speaker 1>in a previous episode of Yes, and this is the

0:05:18.560 --> 0:05:20.760
<v Speaker 1>Yes and season of Dawn is as I continue to

0:05:20.800 --> 0:05:23.880
<v Speaker 1>build on the dream, I gotta check in with myself.

0:05:24.120 --> 0:05:26.160
<v Speaker 1>I have to see myself the good and the bad.

0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:28.880
<v Speaker 1>Remember when we talk about cutting on the light, it's

0:05:28.920 --> 0:05:34.120
<v Speaker 1>the good and the bad, and you gotta receive you know,

0:05:34.160 --> 0:05:37.320
<v Speaker 1>it's interesting. Um. One of the people that has taught

0:05:37.360 --> 0:05:40.279
<v Speaker 1>me to receive myself, to see myself is my mother.

0:05:41.200 --> 0:05:43.800
<v Speaker 1>And you know it's Women's History Month. And to be told,

0:05:43.920 --> 0:05:47.320
<v Speaker 1>I have avoided the whole idea of just talking about

0:05:47.680 --> 0:05:52.560
<v Speaker 1>how amazing my mother was is because she resides in me. Um.

0:05:52.600 --> 0:05:54.440
<v Speaker 1>I tried to record the episode and I got some

0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:58.279
<v Speaker 1>emotional so crying, like all this kind of stuff, breathing

0:05:58.600 --> 0:06:02.680
<v Speaker 1>the whole shebang bang. Um. But I wouldn't be where

0:06:02.680 --> 0:06:04.440
<v Speaker 1>I am and who I am if it wasn't for her.

0:06:05.279 --> 0:06:07.880
<v Speaker 1>And when you think about the whole idea of Women's

0:06:07.920 --> 0:06:12.000
<v Speaker 1>History Month and celebrating every woman that has uh been

0:06:12.040 --> 0:06:15.120
<v Speaker 1>affected or has touched your life. And I don't care

0:06:15.160 --> 0:06:18.600
<v Speaker 1>where you are, where you live, A woman has affected

0:06:18.640 --> 0:06:24.080
<v Speaker 1>your life because you are here. You're here and that's

0:06:24.080 --> 0:06:26.280
<v Speaker 1>what my mother has taught me about my existence of

0:06:26.360 --> 0:06:30.840
<v Speaker 1>being here and understanding that it matters. And that's when

0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:33.119
<v Speaker 1>I do this check in about like Dawn, you matter,

0:06:33.200 --> 0:06:37.400
<v Speaker 1>Your dreams matter. You knowing what you really want matters.

0:06:37.760 --> 0:06:41.880
<v Speaker 1>You walking into yes and lifestyle matters. It matters that

0:06:41.960 --> 0:06:45.680
<v Speaker 1>you want abundance, It matters that you want a family,

0:06:45.920 --> 0:06:48.000
<v Speaker 1>It matters that you deserve love. And that's what I

0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:51.080
<v Speaker 1>want you to see that it matters. You matter. But

0:06:51.200 --> 0:06:54.000
<v Speaker 1>you can only matter if you choose to see yourself,

0:06:55.440 --> 0:07:00.480
<v Speaker 1>see that those don't matter, they don't mind. Do you

0:07:00.520 --> 0:07:05.000
<v Speaker 1>mind yourself? Because if you don't, why would your dream,

0:07:05.080 --> 0:07:07.760
<v Speaker 1>why would that relationship, why would that house? Said that

0:07:07.800 --> 0:07:11.760
<v Speaker 1>what you want, that car, those clothes? If you don't matter,

0:07:13.160 --> 0:07:16.200
<v Speaker 1>how can you not matter when you are a piece

0:07:16.240 --> 0:07:22.080
<v Speaker 1>of matter? So stop acting like you don't, Dawn. I

0:07:22.120 --> 0:07:25.280
<v Speaker 1>said that to myself because you know, when we go

0:07:25.360 --> 0:07:29.560
<v Speaker 1>opposite of what our dreams are, when we stand opposed

0:07:29.640 --> 0:07:32.040
<v Speaker 1>to our word and our integrity. We're saying that we

0:07:32.160 --> 0:07:35.960
<v Speaker 1>don't matter. And I'm here to tell you what Janice

0:07:36.040 --> 0:07:41.360
<v Speaker 1>Hill told me is that you matter. You matter enough

0:07:41.400 --> 0:07:44.000
<v Speaker 1>to take time to get to know yourself. Back up,

0:07:44.600 --> 0:07:48.440
<v Speaker 1>You matter enough to take time to see yourself, see

0:07:48.480 --> 0:07:52.480
<v Speaker 1>yourself in every season, the good, the bad, and the indifferent.

0:07:52.840 --> 0:07:58.000
<v Speaker 1>You matter enough to have patience with yourself. Did you

0:07:58.040 --> 0:08:02.680
<v Speaker 1>hear me to know to forgive yourself, to know that

0:08:02.760 --> 0:08:04.920
<v Speaker 1>you don't have to be in the inside of a box,

0:08:05.920 --> 0:08:09.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, being defined by someone else's definitions or measurements

0:08:09.920 --> 0:08:13.880
<v Speaker 1>of who you are, because guess what you matter? That

0:08:14.000 --> 0:08:17.400
<v Speaker 1>matter comes in all shapes and sizes, all types of forms, speaks,

0:08:17.440 --> 0:08:20.320
<v Speaker 1>all types of languages, and all types of cues for

0:08:20.480 --> 0:08:24.679
<v Speaker 1>it isn't just a reflection of you. Can you see yourself?

0:08:27.000 --> 0:08:30.440
<v Speaker 1>You know? I think about um back in the day,

0:08:30.480 --> 0:08:34.600
<v Speaker 1>there's this radio personality or media personality. Uh, probably doing

0:08:34.640 --> 0:08:37.079
<v Speaker 1>a lot of what I'm doing, or I should say

0:08:37.080 --> 0:08:39.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm doing a lot what she's doing. And my aunt

0:08:39.840 --> 0:08:43.640
<v Speaker 1>she said, don you gotta check out Martha Jane the Queen.

0:08:44.600 --> 0:08:46.560
<v Speaker 1>And I was talking to Jeremiah about it, and I

0:08:46.600 --> 0:08:49.040
<v Speaker 1>was saying that she has this excerpt that was out,

0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:50.600
<v Speaker 1>and she said, do you really want to make it?

0:08:52.520 --> 0:08:56.080
<v Speaker 1>And it's like, do you really want to live? Do

0:08:56.160 --> 0:08:58.839
<v Speaker 1>you really want to see yourself? Do you really think

0:08:58.880 --> 0:09:01.600
<v Speaker 1>you matter? She goes, I want to talk about how

0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:05.640
<v Speaker 1>life has its ups and downs and how basically, uh,

0:09:05.760 --> 0:09:07.600
<v Speaker 1>a lot of it has to do with receiving where

0:09:07.600 --> 0:09:11.160
<v Speaker 1>you are right now, understanding where you want to go,

0:09:12.600 --> 0:09:16.800
<v Speaker 1>and being patient with time because all you can is grow. See,

0:09:16.800 --> 0:09:20.760
<v Speaker 1>here's the thing. We try to dictate a lot of things,

0:09:20.840 --> 0:09:22.360
<v Speaker 1>and when it comes down, do you really want to

0:09:22.360 --> 0:09:23.880
<v Speaker 1>make it with your dreams? Do you really want to

0:09:23.880 --> 0:09:25.480
<v Speaker 1>make it with the relationship? Do you really want to

0:09:25.520 --> 0:09:29.520
<v Speaker 1>make it to the point of your fitness? And oftentimes

0:09:29.559 --> 0:09:32.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure that we dig deep enough to unravel

0:09:32.960 --> 0:09:37.840
<v Speaker 1>who it is that we are because we put these

0:09:37.960 --> 0:09:40.960
<v Speaker 1>these uh structures on ourselves about what it is that

0:09:41.040 --> 0:09:42.719
<v Speaker 1>we want. But if you are in the state to

0:09:42.840 --> 0:09:45.200
<v Speaker 1>understand that you matter, why would you achieve it? Again?

0:09:46.920 --> 0:09:50.040
<v Speaker 1>If you matter, you're going to mind yourself. Right. So

0:09:50.080 --> 0:09:53.960
<v Speaker 1>with Martha Jane the Queen talked about do you really

0:09:53.960 --> 0:09:56.720
<v Speaker 1>want to make it? I thought to myself, I said,

0:09:56.760 --> 0:10:00.360
<v Speaker 1>don do you really want to make it? That's a

0:10:00.400 --> 0:10:06.120
<v Speaker 1>true question. And I only say that because oftentimes we

0:10:06.200 --> 0:10:09.079
<v Speaker 1>can find ourselves seeking something that we're not going after.

0:10:11.280 --> 0:10:15.600
<v Speaker 1>And that's where the trickery comes in. It's almost saying like, hey,

0:10:15.640 --> 0:10:17.439
<v Speaker 1>I want to lose weight, I want to be in shape,

0:10:17.480 --> 0:10:20.680
<v Speaker 1>but you're not eating the food. And and like I say, everything,

0:10:21.400 --> 0:10:23.520
<v Speaker 1>depending on what kind of context you take it in.

0:10:24.640 --> 0:10:28.000
<v Speaker 1>Faith without works is dead. You can't say that you

0:10:28.080 --> 0:10:30.520
<v Speaker 1>want things to happen if you aren't taking the first step.

0:10:30.840 --> 0:10:32.840
<v Speaker 1>You can't say that you want to lose weight and

0:10:32.880 --> 0:10:35.720
<v Speaker 1>you and are not eating properly, you're not working out.

0:10:36.559 --> 0:10:39.599
<v Speaker 1>You can't say that you want to be this multimillionaire

0:10:39.640 --> 0:10:42.240
<v Speaker 1>and you aren't shaping your mind to put your investments

0:10:42.240 --> 0:10:47.199
<v Speaker 1>in there to surround yourself around the white people. So

0:10:47.240 --> 0:10:49.080
<v Speaker 1>that's what it means, Like do you really want to

0:10:49.120 --> 0:10:51.679
<v Speaker 1>make it? Do you? Because that frustration that you may

0:10:51.760 --> 0:10:54.960
<v Speaker 1>feel inside of you one you haven't done the check

0:10:55.000 --> 0:10:57.680
<v Speaker 1>in to see what you really want because you've been

0:10:57.760 --> 0:10:59.439
<v Speaker 1>running from yourself and you haven't had a chance to

0:10:59.440 --> 0:11:01.840
<v Speaker 1>see yourself. And then there's this thing where you're telling

0:11:01.840 --> 0:11:05.440
<v Speaker 1>a story to yourself. And I say storytelling this fiction

0:11:05.840 --> 0:11:08.560
<v Speaker 1>of what you think the life is that you want,

0:11:08.800 --> 0:11:11.080
<v Speaker 1>because your actions aren't saying that, and then you get

0:11:11.120 --> 0:11:16.640
<v Speaker 1>frustrated because now you made these false promises and they

0:11:16.679 --> 0:11:18.920
<v Speaker 1>become broken, and therefore you become broken, and now you're

0:11:18.920 --> 0:11:20.840
<v Speaker 1>trying to spend all your life of trying to put

0:11:20.840 --> 0:11:24.360
<v Speaker 1>the pieces back together. But you know, sometimes things fall

0:11:24.360 --> 0:11:28.080
<v Speaker 1>apart so they can come back together again, and sometimes

0:11:28.160 --> 0:11:30.839
<v Speaker 1>you realize that it's peace by piece that you can

0:11:30.880 --> 0:11:34.920
<v Speaker 1>find your peace. Peace by peace, so that you can

0:11:34.960 --> 0:11:39.520
<v Speaker 1>find your p E A c E. While you know,

0:11:39.600 --> 0:11:41.599
<v Speaker 1>we can get hard on ourselves and not having the

0:11:41.640 --> 0:11:44.200
<v Speaker 1>whole picture together, but sometimes it takes us to put

0:11:44.280 --> 0:11:47.040
<v Speaker 1>the pieces together because we're not defined by the other

0:11:47.040 --> 0:11:49.040
<v Speaker 1>people's lins. And just because we appear here does not

0:11:49.080 --> 0:11:50.680
<v Speaker 1>mean that we stay here, and it does not mean

0:11:50.720 --> 0:11:54.079
<v Speaker 1>that we don't evolutionize and grow. You're ready to grow

0:11:55.200 --> 0:11:58.560
<v Speaker 1>because life got more for you. So that's what my

0:11:58.640 --> 0:12:00.760
<v Speaker 1>check in has been, is just like it has life

0:12:00.800 --> 0:12:04.400
<v Speaker 1>has for me and what it looks like, what it

0:12:04.480 --> 0:12:07.480
<v Speaker 1>feels like, and my got the work that it takes

0:12:07.480 --> 0:12:10.680
<v Speaker 1>to just believe and to breathe. And that's what I

0:12:10.720 --> 0:12:12.920
<v Speaker 1>want for you, and that's what I'm hoping that vitamin

0:12:12.960 --> 0:12:15.520
<v Speaker 1>D is doing for you just stop being scared in

0:12:15.600 --> 0:12:18.440
<v Speaker 1>a moment. Understand that your reflection is all that you

0:12:18.520 --> 0:12:21.760
<v Speaker 1>need to see. That's how you set yourself free. If

0:12:21.760 --> 0:12:25.000
<v Speaker 1>you think about it, you know who you are and

0:12:25.000 --> 0:12:27.719
<v Speaker 1>who you aren't. And and notice that you know I'm

0:12:27.760 --> 0:12:30.520
<v Speaker 1>saying reflection and I'm not just talking about the whole

0:12:30.559 --> 0:12:34.040
<v Speaker 1>idea with the physical in front of you. I mean

0:12:34.080 --> 0:12:36.800
<v Speaker 1>what's inside. I mean, Beyonce said in her song she

0:12:36.840 --> 0:12:38.559
<v Speaker 1>said find my way back. You know a lot of

0:12:38.559 --> 0:12:42.840
<v Speaker 1>people be like, Dawn, I got these dreams, or Dawn,

0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:47.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what I really want. And then people

0:12:47.040 --> 0:12:50.040
<v Speaker 1>are like, hey, sit, sit, sit with yourself, take time

0:12:50.080 --> 0:12:52.959
<v Speaker 1>to breathe, because it's all about finding your way back.

0:12:53.600 --> 0:12:56.360
<v Speaker 1>Finding your way back is just being that joy. Let

0:12:56.360 --> 0:12:58.319
<v Speaker 1>me say something, you know, I say it all the time,

0:12:58.320 --> 0:13:00.599
<v Speaker 1>and I'm gonna say it again. I'm coming to the

0:13:00.720 --> 0:13:03.079
<v Speaker 1>understanding of what the Bible has mean to me, as

0:13:03.080 --> 0:13:08.600
<v Speaker 1>far as um, the scriptures, as far as uh, the

0:13:08.600 --> 0:13:16.400
<v Speaker 1>the metaphors, the analogies of how two really receive it.

0:13:16.840 --> 0:13:19.640
<v Speaker 1>So even in there when it says be an instrument

0:13:20.120 --> 0:13:23.760
<v Speaker 1>of my piece, well, if we're made in the image

0:13:23.760 --> 0:13:29.240
<v Speaker 1>of likeness, right my piece, I give something peace beyond

0:13:29.240 --> 0:13:31.920
<v Speaker 1>to you, whatever the case may be. But if that

0:13:32.000 --> 0:13:35.880
<v Speaker 1>pieces inside and if you notice people that are uber successful,

0:13:36.160 --> 0:13:38.160
<v Speaker 1>and I'm not just talking about monetary I'm talking about

0:13:38.200 --> 0:13:41.320
<v Speaker 1>just has a piece. They have a glow. They're doing

0:13:41.320 --> 0:13:44.360
<v Speaker 1>what they love, they're being with who they love, and

0:13:44.400 --> 0:13:47.400
<v Speaker 1>they're exercising that. See what do you do with an instrument?

0:13:48.840 --> 0:13:53.800
<v Speaker 1>You play with it. So then it becomes what's your song?

0:13:56.000 --> 0:14:01.040
<v Speaker 1>Is your song writing? Is it dancing? Is it volunteering?

0:14:01.840 --> 0:14:04.000
<v Speaker 1>Is it technology? Is that recording? Is a singing? Is

0:14:04.000 --> 0:14:06.280
<v Speaker 1>it acting? As it being a doctor? What is your song?

0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:09.040
<v Speaker 1>Just play your song? And that's what it means to

0:14:09.040 --> 0:14:12.360
<v Speaker 1>be the instrument of your peace. Just mind your peace.

0:14:15.160 --> 0:14:19.720
<v Speaker 1>Like I said, piece by peace. So Dawn, how do

0:14:19.760 --> 0:14:21.480
<v Speaker 1>I know what I want to do? Just find your

0:14:21.520 --> 0:14:24.520
<v Speaker 1>way back, find the things that you love, the thing

0:14:24.600 --> 0:14:27.640
<v Speaker 1>that you want to do, and see it. Stop judging

0:14:27.680 --> 0:14:31.000
<v Speaker 1>and stop putting any type of restrictions on it. Remember

0:14:31.040 --> 0:14:33.240
<v Speaker 1>I told you about the plant. It's just meant to

0:14:33.280 --> 0:14:36.600
<v Speaker 1>be freaking you imagine. Okay, let's go back to the

0:14:36.600 --> 0:14:40.200
<v Speaker 1>whole strip scripture moment for Jesus, God is saying, I

0:14:40.240 --> 0:14:43.040
<v Speaker 1>am the light in the way. Could you imagine if

0:14:43.120 --> 0:14:47.640
<v Speaker 1>your light was constricted m and honestly, truth be told,

0:14:47.640 --> 0:14:50.600
<v Speaker 1>that's what I feel that religion does. Oftentimes you're trying

0:14:50.600 --> 0:14:52.600
<v Speaker 1>to restrict the light. You're trying to tell me how

0:14:52.640 --> 0:14:56.760
<v Speaker 1>I can get to the light. Who do you think

0:14:56.800 --> 0:15:02.280
<v Speaker 1>that you are? Who is it? But wait, you forgot

0:15:02.320 --> 0:15:06.080
<v Speaker 1>that the light was already inside of me? So who

0:15:06.680 --> 0:15:09.119
<v Speaker 1>is it that you think that you are? But more importantly,

0:15:09.160 --> 0:15:10.960
<v Speaker 1>who is it that you don't know who you are?

0:15:12.000 --> 0:15:14.440
<v Speaker 1>I was also watching this new Disney film. It's called

0:15:14.520 --> 0:15:17.760
<v Speaker 1>Riya and the Last Dragon, and it's so beautiful. I

0:15:17.800 --> 0:15:19.960
<v Speaker 1>realized that that's my thing. Like when I'm having a

0:15:20.000 --> 0:15:22.840
<v Speaker 1>stressful moment, I'm turning on a Disney animated film that

0:15:22.920 --> 0:15:25.280
<v Speaker 1>just makes me feel good. But just as we're talking

0:15:25.280 --> 0:15:27.560
<v Speaker 1>about the light, that's what the film was all about.

0:15:28.200 --> 0:15:31.680
<v Speaker 1>It was about this girl in our realm. Let's just

0:15:31.720 --> 0:15:33.640
<v Speaker 1>say she's going to all four corners of the earth,

0:15:33.640 --> 0:15:37.440
<v Speaker 1>but she's going into her um, her village, trying to

0:15:37.440 --> 0:15:40.800
<v Speaker 1>get Kamandra, and that's to get everyone together, all the

0:15:40.840 --> 0:15:44.560
<v Speaker 1>pieces together. And this dragon ball it got bursted, and

0:15:44.560 --> 0:15:46.840
<v Speaker 1>it comes with this light, and there's this plague of

0:15:47.360 --> 0:15:50.160
<v Speaker 1>darkness that keeps coming and it comes by and turns

0:15:50.200 --> 0:15:53.960
<v Speaker 1>people to stone. But when you have a piece of

0:15:54.000 --> 0:15:56.280
<v Speaker 1>that light, she casts the light and anyone that has

0:15:56.280 --> 0:15:58.640
<v Speaker 1>it and they run away. Could you imagine what will

0:15:58.720 --> 0:16:02.520
<v Speaker 1>happen if you cast that you're light? Be an instrument

0:16:02.520 --> 0:16:07.960
<v Speaker 1>of your peace. Find your way back. See when you

0:16:08.000 --> 0:16:10.320
<v Speaker 1>are the source, you don't really have to seek the source.

0:16:11.400 --> 0:16:13.120
<v Speaker 1>That's what it means when they say you are enough.

0:16:14.040 --> 0:16:16.120
<v Speaker 1>That's what I mean by what I say. Do the

0:16:16.240 --> 0:16:19.440
<v Speaker 1>check in and see yourself reflection, because this life will

0:16:19.480 --> 0:16:21.960
<v Speaker 1>have you in a situation because falling just for your eyes,

0:16:21.960 --> 0:16:23.520
<v Speaker 1>you're looking at what's in front of you, where you

0:16:23.520 --> 0:16:25.480
<v Speaker 1>have to go, but not realizing where you are an

0:16:25.480 --> 0:16:29.320
<v Speaker 1>already what you have. Truly when they say everything you

0:16:29.360 --> 0:16:32.680
<v Speaker 1>want is inside of you, be an instrument of your peace.

0:16:34.040 --> 0:16:37.440
<v Speaker 1>Play your song. The only thing that you're designed to

0:16:37.440 --> 0:16:40.200
<v Speaker 1>do is to fine tune it. And if you got

0:16:40.240 --> 0:16:44.360
<v Speaker 1>the light, no matter where you step, it will be light.

0:16:46.080 --> 0:16:50.200
<v Speaker 1>Think about it. You can flash a light a star

0:16:50.800 --> 0:16:53.800
<v Speaker 1>millions of miles away, can be seen through all the

0:16:53.880 --> 0:16:57.880
<v Speaker 1>darkness and still managed to twinkle, twinkle, twinkle, little star.

0:16:59.200 --> 0:17:05.920
<v Speaker 1>How I wonder what you are? What are you? More importantly?

0:17:05.960 --> 0:17:10.359
<v Speaker 1>Can you see it? Well, that's the check in. I

0:17:10.480 --> 0:17:13.879
<v Speaker 1>just had to say, Hey, everything's going good in my way.

0:17:14.600 --> 0:17:17.720
<v Speaker 1>Um ups and downs and all the way arounds, but

0:17:17.760 --> 0:17:22.080
<v Speaker 1>it's good. And I'm in reflection season. I'm seeing a lot.

0:17:22.600 --> 0:17:24.399
<v Speaker 1>I'm noticing what Dawn needs to do and I'm in

0:17:24.440 --> 0:17:26.720
<v Speaker 1>the yes and and I hope you are too. And

0:17:26.760 --> 0:17:28.719

<v Speaker 1>new Dawn, It's a new day. Hi. Hi, So you're

0:17:54.920 --> 0:17:58.479
<v Speaker 1>ready to play? Huh? You're ready to go on this

0:17:58.560 --> 0:18:02.800
<v Speaker 1>journey because I believe in you. You know, when I

0:18:02.840 --> 0:18:05.120
<v Speaker 1>was in eighth grade, I had this quote. It was entitled,

0:18:05.119 --> 0:18:09.560
<v Speaker 1>I make myself what I am. I'll make it. Did

0:18:09.560 --> 0:18:12.720
<v Speaker 1>you hear me? You make yourself who you are? What

0:18:12.800 --> 0:18:15.520
<v Speaker 1>do you want? You better go check out Martha Jina

0:18:15.640 --> 0:18:18.239
<v Speaker 1>queen and find out do you really want to make it?

0:18:18.920 --> 0:18:21.119
<v Speaker 1>Because that make it could just be here coming in

0:18:21.160 --> 0:18:25.359
<v Speaker 1>another day, adjusting your mind, setting your viewpoint, taking a

0:18:25.359 --> 0:18:27.199
<v Speaker 1>minute to see yourself and say, hey, I see you,

0:18:27.240 --> 0:18:30.560
<v Speaker 1>and you're worth it. You're worth it. I bet if

0:18:30.600 --> 0:18:32.760
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people realized how much they're worth it,

0:18:32.800 --> 0:18:35.199
<v Speaker 1>there's nothing they wouldn't do. There's nothing they wouldn't have,

0:18:35.240 --> 0:18:36.840
<v Speaker 1>because when you know what you're worth is you know

0:18:36.920 --> 0:18:39.159
<v Speaker 1>what you deserve, and then you'll know that if it

0:18:39.200 --> 0:18:42.240
<v Speaker 1>doesn't serve you, what doesn't deserve you. Take a look

0:18:42.240 --> 0:18:46.760
