Speaker 1: Today, I want to talk about something that often comes
Speaker 1: before success, and that's failure. Like, for instance, even kerl Gee,
Speaker 1: She's broke so many records, She's amazing. Sometimes we often
Speaker 1: forget what they had to go through in order to
Speaker 1: get to this point in their life. But I'd rather
Speaker 1: try something and fail at it and know that I tried,
Speaker 1: instead of living with what if I would have done it?
Speaker 1: Hello everyone, and welcome to another episode of Cheeky's and Chill.
Speaker 1: Today's show is a special one because it's part of
Speaker 1: Iheart's International Women's Day initiative. We're calling it Women Take
Speaker 1: the Mic. And if you didn't know, this Friday marks
Speaker 1: International Women's Day, so be sure to show the incredible
Speaker 1: woman in your life a little extra love this Friday. Okay,
Speaker 1: And speaking of incredible women, I'm not sure if you
Speaker 1: guys knew, but Shakida broke records last year and check
Speaker 1: ya by the way so much and now she has
Speaker 1: twenty one Guinness World Records, which makes her the Latina
Speaker 1: solo artists with most records, which is awesome, And of
Speaker 1: course I applaud her for her success, and I think
Speaker 1: it's a beautiful thing to admire someone for their accomplishments,
Speaker 1: for sure, But today I want to talk about something
Speaker 1: that often comes before success, and that's failure. The thing
Speaker 1: here is that we can see, like, for instance, even
Speaker 1: Carol G she's broke so many records, she's amazing in
Speaker 1: the music industry, She's done so much, but we don't know,
Speaker 1: and sometimes we often forget what they had to go
Speaker 1: through in order to get to this point in their life.
Speaker 1: And of course I don't know a lot of their
Speaker 1: personal life. But again, they have both been and they
Speaker 1: have both been very open about certain things that have
Speaker 1: happened in their life, and they've expressed it through music,
Speaker 1: which I think is awesome. As women, and I'm not
Speaker 1: just trying to be a feminist here, but as women,
Speaker 1: we go through a lot. I was just telling my
Speaker 1: friend the other day, I was like, girl, it is
Speaker 1: so hard to be a woman, especially a woman talking
Speaker 1: now personally woman in the industry that I'm in, where
Speaker 1: it's you know, mostly male dominated, which I mean, they're
Speaker 1: doing their thing, but I do feel that we're criticized
Speaker 1: for either the way that we look, if we're not
Speaker 1: thin enough, if we're not wearing the right thing. And
Speaker 1: a guy can be super big, and they don't say
Speaker 1: anything like he's still successful, that he's still doing his thing.
Speaker 1: And for women it's harder. And I'm not trying to
Speaker 1: sit here and cry because it's not about that. I'm
Speaker 1: just saying that even though we have it tough, we
Speaker 1: still find a way to keep our head held high
Speaker 1: and say we have no other choice, mamoserlo. We are
Speaker 1: going to be successful one way or another. I mean,
Speaker 1: now that we're talking about music. For me, you know,
Speaker 1: it took me a long time to get the respect
Speaker 1: that I feel like now I have in the music industry.
Speaker 1: I now have two Latin Grammys. But even when I
Speaker 1: won the first one, I mean, so many things were
Speaker 1: said and it sucks because maybe they didn't take the
Speaker 1: time to listen to my album and how good it
Speaker 1: was and how well it was produced. And that's what
Speaker 1: the Academy, the Latin Grammys or the Grammys, that's what
Speaker 1: they look at is the production is how much you invest.
Speaker 1: And I'm not talking about money. I'm talking about in
Speaker 1: every way. There's ways to tell and that's what they're
Speaker 1: looking for, and just the things that were said is
Speaker 1: just crazy. But then I won the second one and
Speaker 1: still they were kind of like, okay, certain comments, But
Speaker 1: now I'm starting to get the respect. But it took
Speaker 1: a long time, you guys. And of course I've gotten
Speaker 1: a lot of comparison and stuff like that for a
Speaker 1: long time. I think that was my biggest mistake, is
Speaker 1: listening to those people that were saying, Oh, you're not
Speaker 1: like your mom, Oh you're not like your uncle, blah
Speaker 1: blah blah. And and that was my biggest mistake. When I
Speaker 1: finally just said, let me just block these voices and
Speaker 1: just focus on myself and better myself and better my craft,
Speaker 1: things changed. But let me remind you guys about Patama Blanca.
Speaker 1: That's my very first song. And I always say my
Speaker 1: career started ass backwards because it was a song that
Speaker 1: wasn't ready to be launched. I wasn't ready to be
Speaker 1: launched as an artist. But I'm not upset at anyone
Speaker 1: or at that situation anymore because it taught me to
Speaker 1: be a better artist. I heard what I didn't want
Speaker 1: to hear, and I learned what I wanted to hear
Speaker 1: in my music and how involved I wanted to be
Speaker 1: that Now it's like I don't I'm like, okay, everything
Speaker 1: happened the way it was supposed to happen. If I
Speaker 1: sat there and just felt sorry for myself after hearing
Speaker 1: everything people were saying, I would have never made it
Speaker 1: to this point. I would have never gotten my Latin grammy,
Speaker 1: my second one. I'm going for my third. Y'all, pray
Speaker 1: for me, Pray for us. I was like, no, I
Speaker 1: know that I meant to do this. I know that
Speaker 1: God put me here for a reason. I know that
Speaker 1: I want to do this. I've heard it in my
Speaker 1: dreams for so long, and I know this is it.
Speaker 1: But imagine you guys, if I would have just stopped,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Or for instance, when my
Speaker 1: first live performance, and I'm not talking about lip syncing,
Speaker 1: because you know I did a lot of that in
Speaker 1: the beginning of my career, but when I first went
Speaker 1: on stage at an award show and I sang live,
Speaker 1: which is so scary, and my management was like, don't
Speaker 1: do it, don't do it because you know anything can
Speaker 1: go wrong. And I was like, I want to do it.
Speaker 1: I'm ready, I have to do it. And it wasn't
Speaker 1: the best, but it taught me. Once I heard it,
Speaker 1: and once I saw myself, I said Okay, I still
Speaker 1: want to do it. I'm not going to shrink back
Speaker 1: and say, Okay, let's go back to lip syncing. No,
Speaker 1: because that's the easy way out, and we don't want
Speaker 1: the easy way out. The way we grow is by
Speaker 1: putting ourselves in circumstances that are going to make us uncomfortable.
Speaker 1: And that's what I did. And now I'm like, I
Speaker 1: don't want to do anything other than sing live. And
Speaker 1: I'm talking about award shows because that's where it's a
Speaker 1: little tricky. You don't have a lot of control. And
Speaker 1: when I heard that first performance, I was like, damn.
Speaker 1: I was like, I should have listened to them, and
Speaker 1: I should have. But also it taught me. I'm like, Okay,
Speaker 1: then I need to go back to vocal lessons and
Speaker 1: I need to do these things. And it wasn't as
Speaker 1: horrible as it could have been, but it wasn't as
Speaker 1: good as I know I could do it, you know,
Speaker 1: as good as I know it could be. All those
Speaker 1: things like have not stopped me. And basically, what it
Speaker 1: is that I want to tell you guys, more than anything,
Speaker 1: like don't let what other people say, what other people
Speaker 1: tell you should do. It's what you're meant to do,
Speaker 1: like focus on what you're meant to do in this world.
Speaker 1: And I think that's what's gotten me to this point
Speaker 1: in my life. Then now I look back and I'm like, damn,
Speaker 1: I'm proud of myself. I've made it this far despite
Speaker 1: the adversities, despite all the people that talk shit. I
Speaker 1: was like, well, whatever, I know who I am, I
Speaker 1: know what I want to do, and I use that
Speaker 1: criticism as a way to grow and better myself and
Speaker 1: I haven't stopped. What I'm trying to get at is
Speaker 1: that it's not always peaches and cream. It's not always
Speaker 1: glitz and glam and the pretty. Like there's a lot
Speaker 1: that goes into what it is that I do. And
Speaker 1: I think a lot of women can relate to this
Speaker 1: and take away let's take away the music, let's put
Speaker 1: that on the back burner for now. I started off
Speaker 1: with my and I've talked about this again before on
Speaker 1: the podcast where I mentioned my first business, my first love,
Speaker 1: which was Blow Me Dry, and why I opened it
Speaker 1: and how I opened it, and it was through Chige's
Speaker 1: and Roxy and then I Love Jenny and then I
Speaker 1: had my spinoff. She is in control and I saved
Speaker 1: my money, and I was like, I want to build
Speaker 1: something for myself. I had built so much for my
Speaker 1: mom and I don't regret it. But I was like, Okay,
Speaker 1: it's time to build something for myself. And which is
Speaker 1: why I always loved anything beauty. The beauty industry has
Speaker 1: always caught my eye. And I said, okay, I was
Speaker 1: so in love with the blow dry bars and all
Speaker 1: that stuff. So I said, I want to like start
Speaker 1: my own business. And let me tell you, guys, I
Speaker 1: invested so much money. Now that I know about business,
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, this is where I went wrong. First
Speaker 1: of all, I shouldn't have spent so much on building.
Speaker 1: I wanted the best floor and the best chairs, and
Speaker 1: I investaged so much money that I didn't think about, Okay,
Speaker 1: what if it doesn't do well the first three months
Speaker 1: and I have to put money out of my pocket.
Speaker 1: And let me tell you, I had it for four
Speaker 1: years and I never made a penny off of it.
Speaker 1: It was always my numbers were always red and it
Speaker 1: was my pride that kept it open. Because at first
Speaker 1: I wanted to tell my mom, look, I can do it.
Speaker 1: She was very proud. I'll never forget the words that
Speaker 1: she told me. But then my mom passed away and
Speaker 1: I felt like, well, now what am I like? I
Speaker 1: just felt like, oh, I have to keep it open
Speaker 1: because she was proud of me. And I just left
Speaker 1: it and kept it open for the wrong reasons. And
Speaker 1: I was afraid of failing. I was afraid of people
Speaker 1: saying I told you so, because they told me, don't
Speaker 1: do it in that city and Nsino because there aren't
Speaker 1: enough Latinos. And what I wanted was to build something
Speaker 1: on my own. I wanted to just show the world
Speaker 1: that yes, I had a famous mother, and I could
Speaker 1: have done it in a Latin where there was a
Speaker 1: lot of Latinos, but I wanted to do it where
Speaker 1: maybe they didn't know who Shiki's was or Jenny Rivera were.
Speaker 1: That's what I wanted to do, so I just kept
Speaker 1: it open. Finally I closed it, and I learned so
Speaker 1: much from that experience, you guys, because of course I cried.
Speaker 1: It wasn't easy to close the doors, but I had
Speaker 1: to stop the bleeding and say okay, janoo, and it
Speaker 1: was very difficult, and I think it like hurt my ego,
Speaker 1: but I learned the importance of failure, which is the
Speaker 1: whole reason after I said all of that, the whole
Speaker 1: reason I wanted to talk about this was because so
Speaker 1: many people, and I was one of them, were afraid
Speaker 1: to fail, and now I embrace it. Of course, I
Speaker 1: want everything that I do to be successful, but now
Speaker 1: I think what failure is is not doing something out
Speaker 1: of fear, not doing it because you're afraid of what
Speaker 1: people are going to say, or because you're it's not
Speaker 1: going to be as successful as you had anticipated. But
Speaker 1: I'd rather try something and fail at it and know
Speaker 1: that I tried, instead of living with what if I
Speaker 1: would have done it. And again, this is stuff that
Speaker 1: I talk about all the time, but now that we're
Speaker 1: celebrating women and I'm sitting back and watching all these
Speaker 1: women breaking records, selling out these stadiums, it inspires me
Speaker 1: and it empowers me. And that's why I kind of
Speaker 1: want to talk about that to all the women that
Speaker 1: are listening to me that want to start their own businesses,
Speaker 1: that want to I don't know, sing that want to
Speaker 1: be influencers, like you just have to try it. You
Speaker 1: have to just take that risk and try it and
Speaker 1: not be afraid or stop yourself from doing it. Because
Speaker 1: you're afraid of failing. There is so much to learn
Speaker 1: from failing from saying you know what, I'm going to
Speaker 1: pick myself up. I'm gonna learn my lesson because now
Speaker 1: you better believe, if I were to open up another
Speaker 1: blow dry bar, it'd be very, very different. I learned
Speaker 1: from it, and I know that it was going to
Speaker 1: take a lot of my time and time that I
Speaker 1: didn't have. But now I know if I want to
Speaker 1: open up a business, I have to be very present.
Speaker 1: And I learned everything I had to learn from that.
Speaker 1: And now with my businesses. You know, I have my music,
Speaker 1: I have shapewear, I have nutrition, I have my skincare,
Speaker 1: so many things in the works. Also understanding that you
Speaker 1: can't do it all on your own. You need to
Speaker 1: have a team. You need to learn to delegate. You
Speaker 1: need to be able to say, hey, I can't handle
Speaker 1: this all by myself. Let me get myself some help.
Speaker 1: Let me be okay with giving a percentage of my
Speaker 1: business to someone that you trust, because again that's another thing,
Speaker 1: partnering up with just anybody who isn't good. You have
Speaker 1: to make sure who you're going into business with. But
Speaker 1: being okay with that because that's what I learned. I'm like,
Speaker 1: you know, I can't handle it all myself, even if
Speaker 1: I wanted to. But going back to this whole thing
Speaker 1: with not being afraid of failing, I think that's when
Speaker 1: you learn the most, that's when you grow the most,
Speaker 1: and not letting that change your ambition of wanting to
Speaker 1: still be successful. If one business didn't work, if this
Speaker 1: thing didn't work for you, you got to keep going.
Speaker 1: You got to learn from it and learn what you're
Speaker 1: supposed to learn for the next season of your life.
Speaker 1: That's what I see when I see Shakira and I
Speaker 1: see Caro, and I see all these women that are
Speaker 1: just doing their thing, and even in acting. I was
Speaker 1: watching Grisela, you guys, I was watching Grisela on Netflix.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys have watched it six episodes,
Speaker 1: and mind you, there's a lot of things that I
Speaker 1: was like, Oh, I don't know if I would have
Speaker 1: done that. But the gist of it is she would
Speaker 1: not take no for an answer. It's like she wanted
Speaker 1: something and she's like, I'm going to do what I
Speaker 1: gotta do, which, again, there are a lot of things
Speaker 1: that I was like, I don't know if I would
Speaker 1: have done that, that's kind of harsh, but it was
Speaker 1: no man can get in her way. I mean, this
Speaker 1: has been happening for so long. I was watching Viking.
Speaker 1: It happened in Viking, like, oh, how is a woman
Speaker 1: gonna I don't know if you guys know what Vikings is.
Speaker 1: It's kind of like Game of Thrones. It's like this
Speaker 1: whole thing. Anyways, I'm so stuck on it right now.
Speaker 1: Even then in the eighteen hundreds, it was how is
Speaker 1: a woman? How is she gonna rule? How can she
Speaker 1: be the queen? Like? And it's just so many things
Speaker 1: like that that it's like, wait a second, we can
Speaker 1: do it. F what anyone says. And if if any
Speaker 1: man ever says, you guys that we couldn't we shouldn't
Speaker 1: do I'm sorry. But if we can make a baby
Speaker 1: in our body and hold the baby for nine months
Speaker 1: and push it out of her hour of vagina, I
Speaker 1: think we could do a whole lot of shit. Ask
Speaker 1: me if a man can do that. I think there
Speaker 1: are wonderful men that celebrate women, but there are a handful.
Speaker 1: And I'm telling you because I'm in an industry where
Speaker 1: it's kind of like, no you shouldn't do this, You
Speaker 1: shouldn't do that, You shouldn't sing this type of music. Oh,
Speaker 1: women shouldn't sing corridos. I'm sorry, Like why not? Why
Speaker 1: can't we sing corridos umbos. There's this girl and I
Speaker 1: forgot her name right now, but she was on TikTok
Speaker 1: and she was singing Corrido belico and in the comments,
Speaker 1: men even some women were talking crap to her, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, wait, why why can't she sing on carrillo bellico?
Speaker 1: Why because she's a woman. And that's what it was.
Speaker 1: It was because she was a woman that she didn't
Speaker 1: let that stop. She came out with another one on
Speaker 1: TikTok and I said, girl, yes, yes, let's celebrate that.
Speaker 1: And it's just not caring and not letting statistics stop
Speaker 1: us from doing what we're meant to do. And for
Speaker 1: those of you listening, and again it is we're all
Speaker 1: talking about women here, but I'm sure there are some
Speaker 1: men that are listening. So this is for anyone. If
Speaker 1: someone has told you no, you can't, you shouldn't do it,
Speaker 1: if someone has closed a door on your face, and
Speaker 1: I've had that plenty of times, even from people that
Speaker 1: I absolutely love. Maybe and I don't love them the
Speaker 1: same anymore, but that I love and that they're my blood.
Speaker 1: Have told me that I couldn't. You know what. It's
Speaker 1: not like my pride. It's never been that. And I
Speaker 1: want to tell you guys this because I think when
Speaker 1: we do things with the wrong intentions, things don't turn
Speaker 1: out the right way. So for me, it hasn't been like,
Speaker 1: let me show you what I can do. I'm going
Speaker 1: to prove it to you. It's been a feeling within
Speaker 1: me that it's like, even when I've wanted to stop,
Speaker 1: it's like, Okay, no, I'm meant to do this. This
Speaker 1: is what I am meant to do, and I want
Speaker 1: to prove it to myself more than anyone else. I
Speaker 1: don't want to look back at life and say, damn,
Speaker 1: I stopped it because they said I couldn't or I shouldn't,
Speaker 1: or that I'm not capable, I'm not good enough. You know.
Speaker 1: I've heard that, like someone that I like is my
Speaker 1: family that's supposed to support you, said you're never going
Speaker 1: to be your mom, and it hurt me because I'm like, okay, damn,
Speaker 1: I want to be as successful as my mom. But
Speaker 1: then I'm like, wait, I'm meant to do what I'm
Speaker 1: meant to do even if I'm not gonna fill up
Speaker 1: a stable center. Who's to say I can't, first of all,
Speaker 1: But what if I'm meant to do other things? Like
Speaker 1: what if even through my podcast, I'm meant to touch
Speaker 1: people's hearts, Like I'm not gonna stop because this person
Speaker 1: said I'm never going to be my mom. I don't
Speaker 1: want to be my mom. I want to be myself.
Speaker 1: That's the biggest thing is wanting and embracing yourself and
Speaker 1: what you're meant to do, and not compare yourself. I
Speaker 1: always say this because it's so important. It's something that
Speaker 1: I learned the hard way. Is comparing ourselves to anyone.
Speaker 1: Anyone else's progress or their success or whatever the case
Speaker 1: may be, is the word thing that we can do
Speaker 1: for our self confidence and for our growth. So that's
Speaker 1: for everyone out there. Don't worry those nose and those
Speaker 1: closed doors is God's protection. And I always say this too,
Speaker 1: but rejection is God's protection, you guys. And if that
Speaker 1: is something is not happening for you, it's because it's
Speaker 1: not meant to happen for you. And don't force your
Speaker 1: foot in a shoe that doesn't fit you, like, you
Speaker 1: can try it and if you keep trying. Okay, I'm
Speaker 1: not saying not to try, not to try, but I'm
Speaker 1: just saying, like, you also have to get to a
Speaker 1: point where you're like, wait a second, is this causing
Speaker 1: me more pain? Or is this going to be something
Speaker 1: that's going to be good for me? Not only for
Speaker 1: me but for others. You always have to have some
Speaker 1: type of reason and a good reason behind it. And
Speaker 1: that's what's helped me as well. With my music and
Speaker 1: the times that I've wanted to give up and where
Speaker 1: I'm like I'm tired or it's just too much, I'm like,
Speaker 1: you know what, No, I'm touching people's hearts. My mission
Speaker 1: in this world is so much bigger than even streams.
Speaker 1: You know, Yes, I wish I had more streams on
Speaker 1: Spotify and Apple Music and all this stuff, like with
Speaker 1: my music, but I'm like, wait, the people that listen
Speaker 1: to my music. I need to focus, even if it's
Speaker 1: whatever the number may be. Like, I can't compare myself.
Speaker 1: I don't want to compare myself to people that are
Speaker 1: streaming millions and millions, and I say I'm like, what
Speaker 1: the heck they just started and they're streaming all this.
Speaker 1: Like if I continue to do that, imagine like I'm
Speaker 1: never gonna focus on trying to like bring out a
Speaker 1: better album that's gonna come out this year and it's
Speaker 1: gonna be amazing. So it's like it's not comparing our
Speaker 1: progress to anyone else's. So trust me. Now, I did
Speaker 1: have a lot of doors shut in my face, a
Speaker 1: lot of people that didn't believe in me, And now
Speaker 1: I see it and people send me messages all the time,
Speaker 1: which because I didn't believe in you, I didn't like
Speaker 1: your music before, like blah blah blah. I was one
Speaker 1: of the people that taught crap about you on the internet.
Speaker 1: And now they're like I love you and thank you,
Speaker 1: Wow you, I admire you, You inspire me and all that.
Speaker 1: Just I'm like, okay, good, I'm glad I didn't give up.
Speaker 1: I'm glad I didn't throw the towel all those times
Speaker 1: that I wanted to, because this is what my mission is.
Speaker 1: God wanted, this is part of what I'm supposed to do.
Speaker 1: This is part of my testimony. So hopefully that really
Speaker 1: does seep into your heart and help you in some
Speaker 1: way that could be anything. It is have to be music.
Speaker 1: It doesn't have to be what I'm doing. It could
Speaker 1: be anything. And in those moments when I have felt down,
Speaker 1: or even now, when I felt like just disappointed and
Speaker 1: let down by people, or even let down by the
Speaker 1: industry or whatever the case may be, for a long time,
Speaker 1: I went to food, you guys, I was like, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna have a fat ass pizza and some ice cream
Speaker 1: and I don't care, and I'm just gonna lay in
Speaker 1: bed and I would just sit there and cry. And
Speaker 1: I did that a lot. Twenty thirteen, twenty fourteen, twenty fifteen, sixteen,
Speaker 1: it was a lot of that. And that's when I
Speaker 1: think I gained my most weight because I've always had
Speaker 1: an issue with food, you know, until I started learning
Speaker 1: to just say, Okay, wait a second, I'm gonna use
Speaker 1: I'm gonna still eat, but I'm gonna have some grapes better,
Speaker 1: you know, try not to have the whole tub of
Speaker 1: ice cream. Because I love food, you guys, I love food,
Speaker 1: But now more than anything, I don't know what happened.
Speaker 1: It happened last year where I just I'm like, you know,
Speaker 1: I know who I am I know that I meant
Speaker 1: to do this. This is part of it, and I
Speaker 1: have to understand that not everyone's gonna love me and
Speaker 1: accept me. And once I did that, it just gave
Speaker 1: me this confidence to say, well, I'm gonna have sad
Speaker 1: days because I still have them. And I still have
Speaker 1: days not as often, but I still have days where
Speaker 1: I'm just like, F this, F the world, F the industry.
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna go and live on a mountain. You know.
Speaker 1: I've thought about that. But when I'm feeling that, I
Speaker 1: just sit there and I'm like, Okay, I'm feeling this.
Speaker 1: This is part of it. This is supposed to teach
Speaker 1: me something. What is this meant to teach me? And
Speaker 1: I pray and I'll have yogurt instead of ice cream,
Speaker 1: you know, cause I'm like, I gotta like I feel
Speaker 1: better when I take care of myself and my body.
Speaker 1: That's not to say that I don't have my chips
Speaker 1: and stuff like, because I love chips, you know, but
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, like, I make better choices. And I'm like, Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna pray. I'm gonna get all my knees
Speaker 1: and when I get on my knees. There's something powerful
Speaker 1: about getting on your knees. When you pray. You can
Speaker 1: pray literally sitting on the toilet doesn't matter. God is
Speaker 1: gonna listen to you anywhere and everywhere. I believe that
Speaker 1: you can go to church or not go to church
Speaker 1: or whatever. But when I get on my knees, it's
Speaker 1: like I'm surrendering to God. And I'm like bowing myself
Speaker 1: to God, to the higher power, to the universe, and
Speaker 1: I'm just like, I surrender to you. I'm here and
Speaker 1: I don't know what to do, and sometimes I just say,
Speaker 1: help me, help me, I just need to feel better.
Speaker 1: Just help me. Sometimes there are and enough words. But
Speaker 1: once I just get on my knees, I'm just like, oh,
Speaker 1: I surrender and it just helps me. And I feel
Speaker 1: like since I've been doing that, I have less bad
Speaker 1: days because for the rest of our life, you guys,
Speaker 1: we have to understand that part of living is having
Speaker 1: those bad days. It's an emotional rollercoaster, this thing called life.
Speaker 1: But it's still a beautiful life. It's all how you
Speaker 1: perceive it. It's all how your outlook on life. And
Speaker 1: if you want to have less of those, you just
Speaker 1: have to feel like surrender, surrender to your higher power,
Speaker 1: surrender to who you are meant to be. And I
Speaker 1: say who you are meant to be, because it takes
Speaker 1: a while to get there, you know, to understand that.
Speaker 1: But that's what's helped me, you guys big time where
Speaker 1: I'm just like, ugh, well, it's part of life. It's okay,
Speaker 1: Tomorrow will be different. I'm gonna shake it off. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna feel my feelings, but I'm not gonna let it
Speaker 1: consume me for the rest of my life. And I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna let this bad moment turn into a bad day.
Speaker 1: Well you guys, thank you for listening. I love these
Speaker 1: episodes where I get to talk to you and not
Speaker 1: even like I have no script. I don't sometime know
Speaker 1: what I'm gonna say. I just let the spirit speak
Speaker 1: through me. I don't know, but thank you, and I
Speaker 1: hope that this episode is helping or going to help
Speaker 1: you in any way possible. Thank you for listening. I
