Speaker 1: this kind of episode my go off episode or like
Speaker 1: my check in, because it's just me talking to you,
Speaker 1: giving you an update of what's going on on my
Speaker 1: end and what's happening in my life and how I'm
Speaker 1: using my words to inspire myself and to hold myself accountable.
Speaker 1: So I haven't really shared this outwardly yet. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's known if you follow, you may have noticed something
Speaker 1: may have changed. But I resigned from my job working
Speaker 1: with the Steve Harvey Morning Show as the digital content
Speaker 1: for sir uh to take a chance on me to
Speaker 1: live out my dreams everything that I say and I
Speaker 1: implore everyone to do, because you know we're gonna die,
Speaker 1: right and you know, I always say, you gotta live
Speaker 1: while you're still alive, and while you're living, you gotta
Speaker 1: live full out, you know. I find sometimes even with
Speaker 1: myself being in positions where you're waiting for somebody else
Speaker 1: permission to do something, waiting for somebody to give you
Speaker 1: the green light, thinking that you have to rely on
Speaker 1: someone else to be your best self. When you are enough,
Speaker 1: you have everything in your life to succeed. And I
Speaker 1: made this decision because, um, I decided I wanted to
Speaker 1: go more in with Dawn, to grow more on Dawn,
Speaker 1: to take flight of everything that I've dreamed of. And
Speaker 1: it's a scary Yes, do I have the map out
Speaker 1: plan of what the next step is known? But I
Speaker 1: got the faith of my dreams and I'm holding myself
Speaker 1: accountable and I'm gonna be honest with you. This is
Speaker 1: not the first time that I've left a job and
Speaker 1: took a jump, but it was definitely more difficult this time,
Speaker 1: or challenging, and I actually got annoyed with myself. It's
Speaker 1: something interesting about when you get older, Right, the further
Speaker 1: we get from being that mind of a child, it
Speaker 1: seems as though more of the fear and the apprehension
Speaker 1: seems to set in. And I was looking at myself
Speaker 1: because I'm like, Dawn, I don't even recognize you, Like,
Speaker 1: what are you hesitant about what you want to do?
Speaker 1: Usually I make up my mind for something and then
Speaker 1: I do it right now. In this case, I still
Speaker 1: did it, but it was something in this this transition
Speaker 1: process of making decisions to do it that kind of
Speaker 1: like made me feel uncomfortable, and not the uncomfortable you
Speaker 1: need to grow, but uncomfortable, like Dawn, why are you
Speaker 1: like hesitant? And because I am one or I have
Speaker 1: coined myself as somebody to be daring and somebody to
Speaker 1: take a chance, it just caused a little friction. But
Speaker 1: we're in a pandemic right now. There are so many people,
Speaker 1: um without jobs, people that are losing their lives, and
Speaker 1: yet I still chose to take a chance on me.
Speaker 1: You know. It just kind of reminds me of the
Speaker 1: story of kind of like Moses and the Red Sea.
Speaker 1: You know, this brother stood in front of the sea
Speaker 1: and guy, I was like, yo, you can't go back.
Speaker 1: He only had a way to go forward and forward
Speaker 1: for as far as his eye could see was water.
Speaker 1: But it was the faith, you know that said, Okay,
Speaker 1: we gotta still do this. And I look at the
Speaker 1: pandemic in the way of like this sea, this massive
Speaker 1: sea as far as I can see, and I made
Speaker 1: the decision to move my way through it. And it's um,
Speaker 1: it's challenging, and it's so far. Uh. You know, my
Speaker 1: last day was a and uh, I'm still here. I've
Speaker 1: I've managed to keep myself busy. But I want to
Speaker 1: say to you and I want to encourage you to
Speaker 1: take a chance on yourself to go out there and
Speaker 1: um live your best life for you. Now. I cried
Speaker 1: those tears, but I know the promise that's been on
Speaker 1: my life, like the promise that were dawn of being great,
Speaker 1: and that causes me to get out there and speak.
Speaker 1: I want to use all my gifts. I want to
Speaker 1: live full out. And if you find yourself, whether it's
Speaker 1: in a relationship, whether it's in another job situation, whether
Speaker 1: it's with friends, do what you gotta do so you
Speaker 1: can soar. And often times what I think what prevents
Speaker 1: us from soaring is this whole idea of this wind,
Speaker 1: this extra air because you decided to lift your arms up.
Speaker 1: But it's only when you lift your arms up do
Speaker 1: you know that you can reach the sky. And then
Speaker 1: reaching the sky, guess what the stars are. That's what
Speaker 1: the stars that I meant to shine. So I know
Speaker 1: that I'm meant to shine. And it made me kind
Speaker 1: of think of some lyrics to some songs. And you
Speaker 1: know how if you catch me on some other days
Speaker 1: usually Wednesday and Friday, I do my traditional Vitamin D
Speaker 1: where I'm using the lyrics of popular music and I
Speaker 1: focus on the song. And this one it was like
Speaker 1: a couple of songs that that came my way. One
Speaker 1: that stood at the most is by Alo Black and
Speaker 1: Tidle my way, and it kind of reflected or not
Speaker 1: kind of it reflects or mirrors kind of like my
Speaker 1: views on my dreams in my life. Because you know,
Speaker 1: you can look back and you stand there and you
Speaker 1: see it's like, Wow, you're working with one of the
Speaker 1: biggest celebrities in the world. And when I tell you,
Speaker 1: I've worked my entire life and radio. I fell in
Speaker 1: love with radio as a kid when we used to
Speaker 1: go to the remote. I mean like if they were
Speaker 1: at the skating ring or at to stay Fair at
Speaker 1: the carnival. You know, you get your shirts and maybe
Speaker 1: you screaming in the concerts. I was like, Wow, radios
Speaker 1: for the people. And to get to a point where
Speaker 1: you at the number one syndicated Urban a C show
Speaker 1: and I have to make a decision to choose don
Speaker 1: and I don't want people to be afraid to choose
Speaker 1: you. You You can never go wrong with doing you, because
Speaker 1: once you do, you you realize that that's the only
Speaker 1: way you can be true. So it may at me
Speaker 1: think about Ala Black because it could look like it's
Speaker 1: foolish for me to leave right, But he says in
Speaker 1: his lyrics, people say I'm foolish, people say I'm blinded
Speaker 1: by faith. If I crash, I don't care. I'm going
Speaker 1: to do it my way. Here's the thing, when it
Speaker 1: comes down to making decisions, even what I found with myself,
Speaker 1: it's so normal to go after someone else and ask
Speaker 1: them what their opinions and what their views are, and
Speaker 1: perhaps as a scapegoat, because if it turns out not
Speaker 1: the way we wished, we can say, oh, I shouldn't
Speaker 1: have listened to social and such, or I should have
Speaker 1: listened to such as such. But what if you just
Speaker 1: really took time in yourself to figure out what it
Speaker 1: is that you want. You can't regret it because you
Speaker 1: did the best that you know how in that moment.
Speaker 1: But oh my gosh, having the regret of saying that
Speaker 1: you never did and you never tried. And so I'm
Speaker 1: want to be that living example. I want to be
Speaker 1: that beacon of light. Hear me out, I have no
Speaker 1: intentions of feeling. That's where my faith lies. It reminds
Speaker 1: me of the song by Hillsong Oceans. Spirit lead me
Speaker 1: where my faith is without borders. Let me walk upon
Speaker 1: the water wherever you will call me walking on water.
Speaker 1: Let my faith stand where my feet fail. Can you
Speaker 1: dig it? Oftentimes you say you want something in life,
Speaker 1: But I have a question for you, how bad do
Speaker 1: you want it? In a room of darkness? Imagine that
Speaker 1: a room of endless possibilities because no one else has
Speaker 1: stepped on the cut on the light in the room
Speaker 1: of darkness? Will you choose to be the light? Will
Speaker 1: you choose to be your own light? To go after
Speaker 1: your passions, your desires, and your dreams. That's what I
Speaker 1: had to ask myself. Could I be okay with taking
Speaker 1: my last breath knowing that there was more or something
Speaker 1: else that I wanted to do that I did not
Speaker 1: do it. I don't know about you, but I'm trying
Speaker 1: and a die empty And if it means being scared,
Speaker 1: so bid Because I gotta look at my circumstances right now.
Speaker 1: I'm not in a committed relationship. Right now, I don't
Speaker 1: have any children. That depends on me. So Dawn why
Speaker 1: aren't you living all the way out that you want to?
Speaker 1: If I have this faith, these are the conversations. These
Speaker 1: are the things that I said to myself. If I
Speaker 1: have this faith and who I am and what my
Speaker 1: purpose is, If I don't believe in me, if I'm
Speaker 1: not willing to take a chance on my dreams, what
Speaker 1: makes it think that someone else will. Whether it is
Speaker 1: a network, whether it is a radio station, whether it
Speaker 1: is a clothing line, whether it is a modeling agency,
Speaker 1: whether it is an artistic company, whatever it is, I
Speaker 1: Dawn Day has to be willing to take a chance
Speaker 1: on me. And that's what I'm doing. I can't tell
Speaker 1: you with the future holes and how the wide will be,
Speaker 1: but I guess what I'm telling you that I'm going
Speaker 1: because I know the promise. I am so convicted and
Speaker 1: what I'm doing and know it's interesting like looking at
Speaker 1: the grates, And this is a conversation I had to
Speaker 1: say with myself. Looking at people that I admire, they've
Speaker 1: all taken a chance on themselves. Heck Harvey himself, he
Speaker 1: talked about I think his day was October nine and
Speaker 1: he just quit his job. I think he was working
Speaker 1: for a carpet company or something like that. Lived in
Speaker 1: his car for a year and look at him now, Huh.
Speaker 1: I told you my plans out to be big in
Speaker 1: than Oprah. And it does get scary, yes, because it's
Speaker 1: out of the comfort zone. I'm coloring outside of the lines.
Speaker 1: I'm going into uncharted territory. Yeah. It's not like I
Speaker 1: can call my mother both of my parents are deceased,
Speaker 1: or anyone to help me. But I'm going to take
Speaker 1: a chance on Dawn because I don't know what's what's worse,
Speaker 1: the the fear of feeling like what it would be
Speaker 1: like to be without, or the fear or the anxiety
Speaker 1: creative knowing that I never lived. You know, some people
Speaker 1: live to die and some people die to live. Which
Speaker 1: one do you choose? I choose to live in order
Speaker 1: to die because I want to die empty. I want
Speaker 1: to die knowing that I gave it all a lot.
Speaker 1: I don't want to die knowing that I helped pencil
Speaker 1: in somebody else to be there best life, or perhaps
Speaker 1: served as that eras, or to make them forget all
Speaker 1: the things that are not the best. I want to
Speaker 1: be that person that somebody looks at me and say
Speaker 1: dawn because of you. I can't dawn because of you.
Speaker 1: I did Dawn because of you. I will. So that's
Speaker 1: what I had to make the decision to do. And
Speaker 1: you know, even outlaw, he continues to say, in the darkness,
Speaker 1: I don't hide because I got pride. That gives me clarity.
Speaker 1: You see, the option of defeat is not in my story.
Speaker 1: So if you are convicted, just like I had to
Speaker 1: be convicted with my dreams, me not being bigger than
Speaker 1: Oprah is not an option. You know. Oftentimes I feel
Speaker 1: like when we don't take a chance on something, it's
Speaker 1: because we feel like it's though, um, there's an opportunity
Speaker 1: to fail. But I have the mindset that you can't
Speaker 1: fail if you don't quit. And I've said this before,
Speaker 1: just as my old barber, Louis t Pot was saying.
Speaker 1: He says, the journey is in the experience, and the
Speaker 1: experience is in the journey. I'm trying to experience life. No, no,
Speaker 1: I'm not trying because unlike you, either do it or
Speaker 1: you don't. I am experience in life. And oftentimes, you know,
Speaker 1: we have a tendency to hold onto things, you know,
Speaker 1: whether it's relationships, whether it's stuff in our house, um,
Speaker 1: whether in some situations a job, but yet we're seeking more. Well,
Speaker 1: how about we getting the notion that we have to
Speaker 1: make wrong? And sometimes it's clearing things out and we
Speaker 1: see that a bit. You know, oftentimes people say, you know,
Speaker 1: how meditation and how important that is, And basically that's
Speaker 1: a clearing out of the mind so that you can
Speaker 1: go within and when you make room, you allow other
Speaker 1: things to come in. So I'm welcoming a new thing,
Speaker 1: and I want you to welcome a new thing, a
Speaker 1: new you get outside of this whole comfortable bubble because
Speaker 1: there's more, far, exceedingly and beyond. And guess what, you
Speaker 1: can have it all, Which takes me to another track
Speaker 1: that I was thinking about. You know DJ Kalin, You
Speaker 1: know he has this new album out CALLI Kalen, and
Speaker 1: I'm telling you right now that's I've been listening to.
Speaker 1: What I would say of the track is Vitamin D.
Speaker 1: It's a whole inspirational album. I love all the tracks
Speaker 1: and there's this track and entitled I Can Have It
Speaker 1: All on this featuring Post Malone and Megan the Stallion,
Speaker 1: and it says one of the lyrics, I can have
Speaker 1: it All knowing I was special from a young age.
Speaker 1: You know, I don't think it's a coincidence how they
Speaker 1: say to have a heart in the mind as a child,
Speaker 1: because you know how hearted in the mind of a child,
Speaker 1: there's no fear they just do. They just dream. They
Speaker 1: anything that's impossible, it's possible for them because they have
Speaker 1: the imagination. And just like I was telling you this
Speaker 1: frustration that hit me as to whether or not I'm
Speaker 1: gonna leave this job, it was because I was letting
Speaker 1: too much of the stuff come in. I forgot the
Speaker 1: magic of dawn. My gift is my voice. It's the speaking,
Speaker 1: not only the sounds of my voice, but how I
Speaker 1: use my words. And who am I not to use
Speaker 1: my words even to speak life and myself? And it's
Speaker 1: interesting that I think oftentimes we forget the power of
Speaker 1: the tongue. I said it before I got life, tied
Speaker 1: it in my mouth, because life and death are in
Speaker 1: the power of the time. And even if you are
Speaker 1: a spiritual religious person, they say that um, at first
Speaker 1: there was the word, and the word was with God,
Speaker 1: and so with that you have to realize the power
Speaker 1: of the world within yourself. You have to speak things
Speaker 1: over yourself and realize that everything that you've been working
Speaker 1: for right now, it's happening right now, and you have
Speaker 1: to declare to yourself and make that promise. And this
Speaker 1: is also what they say in the track made myself
Speaker 1: a promise, A promise. I'm gonna win. You trying to win.
Speaker 1: You can't try to win the game. Start yelling from
Speaker 1: the sidelines. You gotta get in the game of life,
Speaker 1: and you gotta play. You gotta take the shot, you
Speaker 1: gotta take the kick, you gotta take the chance, because
Speaker 1: if you ain't gonna take a chance on you, who's
Speaker 1: gonna take a chance. So I had to take a
Speaker 1: chance on Dawn. Yeah, I cried many times. But then
Speaker 1: I'm reminded of the Blessings dot Com, the TV shows,
Speaker 1: the job opportunities, the sketches that I'm doing. Oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be amazing, and I'm speaking on it. I
Speaker 1: still have every intention of being bigger and over. Every
Speaker 1: attention is still being on sn I have every intention
Speaker 1: of doing it all because the option of defeat is
Speaker 1: not written in my story. See something. Oftentimes, we get
Speaker 1: so many options of what the possible ability of something
Speaker 1: could be, rather than just what it is like, speak
Speaker 1: the truth in your life and declare that so you
Speaker 1: have to see it. This is your reality, because if
Speaker 1: you can create the life that you want, then you
Speaker 1: gotta speak in it, you gotta walk in it, you
Speaker 1: gotta do everything in it to be in it. And
Speaker 1: then you realize that when you operating your gift, when
Speaker 1: you operating your true self, that is nothing but a
Speaker 1: service to someone else. Say, your gift is meant so
Speaker 1: that you can present it to someone else. And when
Speaker 1: you withhold your gift because of whatever insecurity, you're not
Speaker 1: only doing your own self a disservice, but you're doing
Speaker 1: everyone else in the world around you a disservice. It's
Speaker 1: just like the life cycle. You know, it can be
Speaker 1: kind of sad in the situation of some animals die
Speaker 1: so other people can live. Well, you gotta live out
Speaker 1: your dreams so other people can live out their dreams.
Speaker 1: How dare you hold your gifts to yourself? How selfish
Speaker 1: is that? There are so many people I can tell
Speaker 1: you right now that probably needs to hear your story.
Speaker 1: Whether your story comes with the form of your hands
Speaker 1: like me and my voice, um, whether it comes with art, math, science,
Speaker 1: take a chance and do it. There's a reason why
Speaker 1: it's on your heart to do it. Do it. Don't
Speaker 1: you want to be great? In fact, why wouldn't you
Speaker 1: want to be great? Why wouldn't you want to be
Speaker 1: your best self? And the thing that's so interesting is
Speaker 1: that when we have these dreams and desires of our hearts,
Speaker 1: these gifts that come to us, they're an instrument of
Speaker 1: our peace. There's a moment of relaxation. Oftentimes people say, Dawn,
Speaker 1: how do I decide on the life that I want.
Speaker 1: I don't know what my dream is, I don't know
Speaker 1: what my purpose is. And I always say, do whatever
Speaker 1: it is that makes you happy, Do whatever it is
Speaker 1: that you find your most peace, and do whatever it
Speaker 1: is that keeps you going and keeps that sense of happiness.
Speaker 1: That is your purpose. Because when you give your self
Speaker 1: permission to shine, you give others the permission to shine.
Speaker 1: You also serve as a beacon of light to other people.
Speaker 1: We heard it when we were younger, this little lot
Speaker 1: of mine, I'm gonna let it shine. Say you gotta
Speaker 1: let it shine, let it shine. You just gotta let
Speaker 1: that bad boys shine. And realize that I'm gonna live
Speaker 1: out my dreams. You gotta live out your dreams. And
Speaker 1: just like Alt Black stated, every time they build a
Speaker 1: wall around me, I will tear it down and say,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna live my dreams. I gotta live my dreams.
Speaker 1: You can't let relationships, jobs, circumstances build up a wall
Speaker 1: around you, a wall that's gonna keep you imprisoned from
Speaker 1: traveling and discovering your best self. And you gotta remember
Speaker 1: that people who are not you, people that don't understand
Speaker 1: the vision for your life, are gonna think that you're foolish.
Speaker 1: They're gonna think you're crazy. But remember you have to
Speaker 1: get within and know the reason why you are designed
Speaker 1: and why your faith is in yourself, and know that
Speaker 1: you have to do it your way. And guess what,
Speaker 1: Just like any graphic chart on the way up, as
Speaker 1: you progress through times, it's weikly, there's no straight line
Speaker 1: towards it, But imagine the peace of mind knowing that
Speaker 1: you did it your way, because even on your way
Speaker 1: of failing, you're still towards success because you're learning a
Speaker 1: different way of not doing something. So is it really
Speaker 1: failure then? I think not. I've decided to take a
Speaker 1: chance on myself. Um, and it's going to be exciting.
Speaker 1: I'm so excited about what's to come. I'm so excited
Speaker 1: about what's to be. I'm so excited of discovering who
Speaker 1: I am. I even appreciate the fact that I got
Speaker 1: annoyed with myself about this hesitation to take a chance
Speaker 1: on me, because oftentimes we get through life of just
Speaker 1: moving and functioning that we forget to sit with self.
Speaker 1: I don't know about you, but often times we get
Speaker 1: in the mirror. But how many times have you really
Speaker 1: seen yourself? Because you know, sometimes you're getting there looking like,
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, what did this pop up? When did
Speaker 1: this happen? It happened. Because we're moving every single day,
Speaker 1: you have an opportunity to tact a chance on yourself,
Speaker 1: to live out your dreams, to save a life, to
Speaker 1: just be present in the moment, to give to yourself
Speaker 1: with your best life. So that's what I'm doing. So
Speaker 1: this road is going to be exciting. I'm excited that
Speaker 1: I can uh stand up against everything that I'm telling
Speaker 1: everyone else to do and you get to see it
Speaker 1: happen in real time. We're going to see how it unfolds.
Speaker 1: And already know I already know what's written in my destiny,
Speaker 1: So I'm just gonna walk in it. I'm gonna walk
Speaker 1: in it confidently. And it doesn't mean it. Being confident
Speaker 1: that something doesn't mean that you don't have emotions. It
Speaker 1: just means that even though you are in the storm,
Speaker 1: you have what it takes to weather it. And what
Speaker 1: you have to realize too. If you're in a situation
Speaker 1: where you're feeling any sort of discontent, whether it's because
Speaker 1: of your environment or whether because within you knowing that
Speaker 1: you are going to do more, just ask yourself this,
Speaker 1: what does the garden produce that's full of weeds? Huh?
Speaker 1: What are you trying to produce? What are you looking
Speaker 1: forward to grow? And you gotta understand this too, in
Speaker 1: this whole moment in transition and of growing and going
Speaker 1: after your dreams and taking a chance, that a lot
Speaker 1: of this work that you're doing is everything that is
Speaker 1: the foundation. It's the roots. Well, let's think of it
Speaker 1: just like any other plant, any of the tree, any
Speaker 1: other thing that's going from the ground. Um, we realize
Speaker 1: the taller they are, the deeper the roots are, how
Speaker 1: more connected they are to the center, to the core
Speaker 1: to earth. Now, imagine Earth being you and your core.
Speaker 1: What's sprouting from your planet? Hmm, what's in your atmosphere?
Speaker 1: M m. What's the clarity of the sun shining down
Speaker 1: on your life? It's just something to think about. So
Speaker 1: I hadn't had a chance to share, but I wanted
Speaker 1: to share that with you. Yeah, Dawing Day, I was
Speaker 1: taking another chance. We're taking another leap. And you know
Speaker 1: I did that when I left from New York and
Speaker 1: I moved to well, well yeah, when I left from
Speaker 1: d C. Actually, and I moved to New York, I
Speaker 1: didn't have a job, ended up working at uh the
Speaker 1: number one station in the country, w BLS, got an
Speaker 1: article for New York Times. Then moved to l A
Speaker 1: no job. Ended up what working at a TV production company.
Speaker 1: We produced a lot of episodes for on Sung, which
Speaker 1: is on TV one. Had the opportunity to be on
Speaker 1: a television show, Kirby Style with Timothy Snow. The style
Speaker 1: is for one of the women that I admire most
Speaker 1: of my like Queen Latifa, the one who said that
Speaker 1: I'm possible right, had a dream of meeting her and
Speaker 1: meeting her and being in that orbit two. Now I'm
Speaker 1: taking a chance on Dawn of leaving my job working
Speaker 1: with Steve Harvey. My god, what's the come? Only grainter
Speaker 1: is coming. I don't know about you, but that's what
Speaker 1: I'm professing on my life. And I don't care how
Speaker 1: sweet it tastes or how shiny it looks. If it's
Speaker 1: not true to you. You gotta do you boo, You're
Speaker 1: worth it. You are worth taking that chance on because
Speaker 1: oftentimes we find ourselves in situations, relationships, jobmanships, putting so
Speaker 1: much weight of our value in someone else's hands, and
Speaker 1: it's like, well, when do we take their standing wheel
Speaker 1: and take control of our lives drive the roads that
Speaker 1: which we choose. Hey, you're going on this path, Maybe
Speaker 1: you're gonna need some chains on your tires because it's
Speaker 1: a lot of snow. Um, maybe you're gonna have to
Speaker 1: check your your traction and your breaks because the roads
Speaker 1: are slippery up. Make sure that you have enough gas
Speaker 1: and enough engine power to go up that hill. You know,
Speaker 1: whatever it is, you know exactly what you need to
Speaker 1: equip yourself to the life that you want, because oftentimes
Speaker 1: we ask for this life. But remember, like I said
Speaker 1: it before, you have to have the capacity to hold it.
Speaker 1: And if you have so much stuff, stuff, stuff that
Speaker 1: you're holding onto. Where is the room that you're gonna
Speaker 1: hold onto your life for your dreams. Your hands are
Speaker 1: so full, you have to make room. So I'm gonna
Speaker 1: season of making room, making room for Dawn to live
Speaker 1: out her wildest dreams. And it's gonna be exciting, it's
Speaker 1: gonna be scary, but more importantly, I'm excited because I'm
Speaker 1: doing Dawn. Yeah, And um, I hope that encourages you
Speaker 1: to do you too. And people are gonna look at
Speaker 1: you like you're crazy. Why would you do this? You
Speaker 1: don't have anything planning, but you gotta remember to listen
Speaker 1: to the voice with them. And that's when you have
Speaker 1: to take note for Lauren Hill and do what. How
Speaker 1: are you gonna win when you ain't right within? Come again?
Speaker 1: See when you're not all here living your passion, you're
Speaker 1: not all here living your truth and your relationship and
Speaker 1: love and life and friendship. You can't win like that,
Speaker 1: not truly. It would be a falsified moment. You know.
Speaker 1: It's kind of like something that's calcified, just stuff hardening
Speaker 1: on top of it, just as a shield of protection.
Speaker 1: But it just imagine being limber and free and flying
Speaker 1: kind of like a bird or a hawk in the sky.
Speaker 1: They just fly, they glide with the wind, and the
Speaker 1: view was amazing up there. Right. I want that for you,
Speaker 1: and I want you to elevate into your best self
Speaker 1: because I think you deserve it. I think that's a
Speaker 1: testament of knowing that you are your greatest asset, because
Speaker 1: you know, we talk about this life bank account, and
Speaker 1: we talk about what you put in and what you
Speaker 1: take out, and every time you put in, oftentimes you're
Speaker 1: gonna take out. But remember it's about that balance. You're
Speaker 1: not gonna be in balance doing something that doesn't ring
Speaker 1: true with your heart and exercising all your gifts and alities,
Speaker 1: you're actually taking away from yourself and you're putting yourself
Speaker 1: in the negative because there's a ceiling that you're putting
Speaker 1: on from your growth, a ceiling of you wanted to
Speaker 1: do more and to be more, because your dreams they're
Speaker 1: outside of your situation right now, right, So, how are
Speaker 1: you going to reach it by staying under this cab?
Speaker 1: How are you gonna reach it being afraid? How are
Speaker 1: you going to reach it without being confident in your
Speaker 1: ability and your thought process and your actions? How how
Speaker 1: and then we get in this moll where we're going
Speaker 1: possibly depression. UM have the anxiety or fear talking about
Speaker 1: what we want, but it's like the reality of it,
Speaker 1: you really don't want it because if you want it,
Speaker 1: you would do it. Like your body wants to breathe.
Speaker 1: In fact, your body needs to breathe. There's no no
Speaker 1: option like, oh, I'm not gonna breathe today or I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna breathe for a couple of hours. No, your
Speaker 1: body yearns for that. So when are you gonna let
Speaker 1: your dreams breathe so they can live? Mm hmm are
Speaker 1: part of you? Don't think they Don't you think they
Speaker 1: deserve it? Don't you think you deserve it? I want
Speaker 1: you to be great. I want you to have abundance.
Speaker 1: I want you to live knowing that you lived your
Speaker 1: life for you. The constraints we put on ourselves trying
Speaker 1: to uh make other people comfortable, UM, fitting into the
Speaker 1: box that somebody put us in or subscribe to that label.
Speaker 1: It's just like being a thief to our joy, not
Speaker 1: just happiness, but your joy. See joy is the state
Speaker 1: of being and when that that joy has taken away
Speaker 1: from you, and especially if you are the one responsible
Speaker 1: of it. Oh, we that's not what's up. And I
Speaker 1: feel to know that you deserve more than that. And
Speaker 1: you realize too that how you do anything, it's how
Speaker 1: you do everything. And if you get used to the
Speaker 1: act of numbing yourself to be in a predicament or situation,
Speaker 1: a job, a relationship, a cohort, a friendship, you realize
Speaker 1: that you just take from yourself, and then taking from
Speaker 1: yourself that makes you unhappy. It starts to actually eat away.
Speaker 1: But if we're talking about living our best life and
Speaker 1: living life in abundance, that is going to require us
Speaker 1: to feed ourselves. And I don't know about you, but
Speaker 1: my dreams feed me. Staying true to dont feeds me.
Speaker 1: And here's the thing. You gotta have grace in this
Speaker 1: moment because just as beings were constantly growing, we're constantly
Speaker 1: morphing into more than what we are and going into
Speaker 1: something new. But what stays constant with us is how
Speaker 1: we are, actions prevail, how we do things, how we
Speaker 1: choose to see things. You have to choose to see
Speaker 1: yourself in the best life because when you do that,
Speaker 1: you give yourself permission to shine, and you shine by
Speaker 1: staying true. See, there are so many there's out there,
Speaker 1: but there's only one of you, one of you that
Speaker 1: has that gift that can do only that you can do.
Speaker 1: And how amazing is it that you are the only
Speaker 1: one that can truly do your gift the way you
Speaker 1: do it because it was assigned to you and then
Speaker 1: living it out. Stop playing with me. So I'm living
Speaker 1: it out this time. I'm taking another chance on Dawn
Speaker 1: seeing where it goes. I might be crying tomorrow the
Speaker 1: next day after that, but I'm gonna keep going because
Speaker 1: if I crash and I burned, I'm gonna know that
Speaker 1: I did in my way. Hey, I hope you enjoyed them.
