<v Speaker 1>lives and understanding and realizing how you are your greatest

0:00:39.760 --> 0:00:43.800
<v Speaker 1>ass act. It's so interesting how distractions can make you

0:00:43.840 --> 0:00:50.760
<v Speaker 1>forget where you are. Are you distracted? Who is distracting you?

0:00:51.200 --> 0:00:54.040
<v Speaker 1>Are you distracting yourself? Do you know I'm just sending

0:00:54.040 --> 0:00:57.080
<v Speaker 1>the studio and forgot that I was in here, all

0:00:57.160 --> 0:01:01.040
<v Speaker 1>up in something else's and someone else's business in my phone.

0:01:02.920 --> 0:01:05.880
<v Speaker 1>I can't imagine how many times you've possibly missed, how

0:01:05.920 --> 0:01:11.280
<v Speaker 1>many times I miss forget that signals cues by being distracted.

0:01:12.560 --> 0:01:16.400
<v Speaker 1>That's another thing that I'm catching right now. Trusting her

0:01:16.440 --> 0:01:20.000
<v Speaker 1>intuition more on what I feel, and respected myself and

0:01:20.120 --> 0:01:24.080
<v Speaker 1>honoring myself with that. Old friends is in me up

0:01:24.080 --> 0:01:27.200
<v Speaker 1>the other day. And one thing I've always admired about

0:01:27.200 --> 0:01:30.160
<v Speaker 1>her is that her willingness to set boundaries. And it

0:01:30.160 --> 0:01:31.920
<v Speaker 1>all started out even with keeping her phone on do

0:01:31.959 --> 0:01:35.200
<v Speaker 1>not disturb during certain hours. Jeremiah and I will talk

0:01:35.200 --> 0:01:37.120
<v Speaker 1>about it all the time. I'm like, I try not

0:01:37.160 --> 0:01:39.560
<v Speaker 1>to answer any clause in the morning because that's my moment,

0:01:39.640 --> 0:01:42.520
<v Speaker 1>that's my time. And I noticed each time that I

0:01:42.600 --> 0:01:46.800
<v Speaker 1>decided to give an buckoln something comes and disarray. I

0:01:46.880 --> 0:01:50.440
<v Speaker 1>began disgruntled and gotta get myself back together. But when

0:01:50.440 --> 0:01:51.800
<v Speaker 1>I was talking to my friend or when she was

0:01:51.840 --> 0:01:53.800
<v Speaker 1>texting me, she was just saying how she even had

0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:58.120
<v Speaker 1>exercised those boundaries with her her own father. And sometimes

0:01:58.120 --> 0:02:01.440
<v Speaker 1>it's the closest people to you, because those are people

0:02:01.440 --> 0:02:04.960
<v Speaker 1>who have the most access to you, and if you

0:02:05.000 --> 0:02:08.640
<v Speaker 1>don't create your boundaries, it'll start to see that you

0:02:08.680 --> 0:02:13.320
<v Speaker 1>have walls and I ain't nobody coming in. And that's like, listen,

0:02:13.800 --> 0:02:16.720
<v Speaker 1>do It's a picture check and where your boundaries lie,

0:02:17.960 --> 0:02:21.679
<v Speaker 1>because that distraction can derail you. Get your right, m

0:02:22.639 --> 0:02:29.440
<v Speaker 1>right with me and get excited about you. I want

0:02:29.440 --> 0:02:33.400
<v Speaker 1>to talk to you about point five. It sounds relatively small,

0:02:33.480 --> 0:02:36.800
<v Speaker 1>right when you look at a whole pie. If you

0:02:36.880 --> 0:02:40.560
<v Speaker 1>look at the number one hundred and you say, okay,

0:02:39.639 --> 0:02:44.120
<v Speaker 1>nine point five and the only little bit that's not

0:02:44.200 --> 0:02:48.120
<v Speaker 1>included is that point five. But you gotta realize how

0:02:48.160 --> 0:02:51.440
<v Speaker 1>important that point five is. Now. This came to me

0:02:51.480 --> 0:02:55.079
<v Speaker 1>on the balcony downtown in Los Angeles, California. I was

0:02:55.080 --> 0:02:59.160
<v Speaker 1>sitting there talking to some friends, primarily this couple, Brian

0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:06.080
<v Speaker 1>and brand Uh, like any couple, figuring out there's no

0:03:06.160 --> 0:03:11.040
<v Speaker 1>denial that love is there. However, there's one thing that

0:03:11.200 --> 0:03:16.680
<v Speaker 1>stood out, and it's that point five. Brian and Brandon

0:03:16.680 --> 0:03:22.400
<v Speaker 1>have been together for many years, and Uh, Brandon credits

0:03:22.400 --> 0:03:26.839
<v Speaker 1>Brian a lot for helping him through college, standing by

0:03:26.919 --> 0:03:30.040
<v Speaker 1>him being there to pull him up, showing him patience,

0:03:31.240 --> 0:03:35.280
<v Speaker 1>showing him with love looks like and Brian of course

0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:40.720
<v Speaker 1>is there because he loves him, but something's in the way,

0:03:41.400 --> 0:03:44.640
<v Speaker 1>and it's that point five. Brand is in a situation

0:03:44.720 --> 0:03:46.960
<v Speaker 1>where he feels himself something that's missing. He feels as

0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:50.360
<v Speaker 1>though Brian isn't given it all, like he doesn't have

0:03:50.560 --> 0:03:54.040
<v Speaker 1>his exact footing. And I asked him, said, well, why

0:03:54.080 --> 0:03:55.720
<v Speaker 1>do you feel like that? He said, well, I don't know.

0:03:56.200 --> 0:03:58.600
<v Speaker 1>I said, no, something had to happen. What happened to

0:03:58.600 --> 0:04:02.280
<v Speaker 1>the point five? As I say, in any conversation, when

0:04:02.280 --> 0:04:06.840
<v Speaker 1>you talk about communication, there's a sending and receiving, okay,

0:04:07.360 --> 0:04:09.200
<v Speaker 1>And just as important it is to send, you have

0:04:09.280 --> 0:04:11.360
<v Speaker 1>to be able to receive it. And that's on both

0:04:11.400 --> 0:04:15.400
<v Speaker 1>parties because you can't just be sending things out aimlessly

0:04:16.480 --> 0:04:20.760
<v Speaker 1>without any type of intention and then not receiving or

0:04:20.880 --> 0:04:25.039
<v Speaker 1>failing to receive what's being sent out to you. That's

0:04:25.040 --> 0:04:28.120
<v Speaker 1>where the clearity communication comes about, right. The person that's

0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:30.640
<v Speaker 1>sending is ensuring that the person receiving is their their

0:04:30.680 --> 0:04:33.120
<v Speaker 1>just just just talking to talk, and the person is

0:04:33.160 --> 0:04:36.159
<v Speaker 1>just sitting there ignoring them to ignore them. He said, hey,

0:04:37.200 --> 0:04:41.039
<v Speaker 1>let me tell you something about us. Uh, Brandon, you

0:04:41.080 --> 0:04:43.240
<v Speaker 1>know they're moving on to another level of their life,

0:04:43.279 --> 0:04:45.039
<v Speaker 1>for they're moving out of state and taking things to

0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:49.279
<v Speaker 1>the next level. He says, I had an issue. I

0:04:49.320 --> 0:04:51.560
<v Speaker 1>had an issue at a time where you allow your

0:04:51.560 --> 0:04:53.960
<v Speaker 1>temperat to get in the way. He said, I love

0:04:54.000 --> 0:04:58.080
<v Speaker 1>everything about you ninety nine point five percent at a time.

0:04:58.200 --> 0:05:01.760
<v Speaker 1>You are everything in all that I he said, But

0:05:01.760 --> 0:05:04.080
<v Speaker 1>when I saw you in that light and you got

0:05:04.160 --> 0:05:07.880
<v Speaker 1>upset and you were drinking, he said, I didn't like that.

0:05:07.920 --> 0:05:12.440
<v Speaker 1>Point five Brandon stuff back. He's like, well, why are

0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:16.600
<v Speaker 1>you holding that little bit of me against me? I'm

0:05:16.640 --> 0:05:18.520
<v Speaker 1>not like that all the time. You can ask all

0:05:18.560 --> 0:05:20.320
<v Speaker 1>my friends. Any of my friends will tell you that

0:05:20.320 --> 0:05:25.719
<v Speaker 1>that is not who I am. Brian says, I have

0:05:26.000 --> 0:05:31.760
<v Speaker 1>zero tolerance for disrespect. I immediately looked at Brian and

0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:35.119
<v Speaker 1>I said, I clapped. I said thank you, I said,

0:05:35.160 --> 0:05:39.599
<v Speaker 1>thank you for being clear. But what a boundary is, See,

0:05:39.640 --> 0:05:42.039
<v Speaker 1>there's something important about a boundary. A boundary is also

0:05:42.080 --> 0:05:43.880
<v Speaker 1>why it looks like if things are keeping out. It's

0:05:43.880 --> 0:05:46.720
<v Speaker 1>also a way to make space, because it's saying this

0:05:46.800 --> 0:05:48.479
<v Speaker 1>is the area, this is the realm in which we

0:05:48.600 --> 0:05:51.640
<v Speaker 1>can't partake it once we travel outside of these bounds.

0:05:51.960 --> 0:05:54.040
<v Speaker 1>Now there's an issue I have to sign to be

0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:56.120
<v Speaker 1>signed up for a relationship. Not normal, we're staying right.

0:05:56.120 --> 0:05:57.680
<v Speaker 1>But when someone tells you what to stand, now you

0:05:57.720 --> 0:05:59.400
<v Speaker 1>have a choice or whether or not you choose to

0:05:59.400 --> 0:06:04.479
<v Speaker 1>stand in it right, So I said, thank you so

0:06:04.560 --> 0:06:07.760
<v Speaker 1>much for that clarity. I had to look at Brandon

0:06:08.080 --> 0:06:11.000
<v Speaker 1>and I said, wait a minute, now, don't fault and

0:06:11.040 --> 0:06:13.760
<v Speaker 1>say he has no right to be holding this point

0:06:13.800 --> 0:06:18.120
<v Speaker 1>five Now I gave it to Brandon, and two fold.

0:06:18.839 --> 0:06:22.560
<v Speaker 1>I said, One, you halfway didn't want to tell me

0:06:23.120 --> 0:06:25.359
<v Speaker 1>what happened that evening, and it's not important to go

0:06:25.400 --> 0:06:28.760
<v Speaker 1>into the detail, I said, looking at Brian. He barely

0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:30.640
<v Speaker 1>wanted to say, hey, we don't have to go into anything.

0:06:30.680 --> 0:06:34.560
<v Speaker 1>So that tells me that this was a moment that

0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:36.479
<v Speaker 1>somebody doesn't even want to speak life on something that

0:06:36.520 --> 0:06:38.440
<v Speaker 1>had already happened, yet it is still something that is

0:06:38.440 --> 0:06:42.920
<v Speaker 1>affecting them right now. Two Now, understanding that it had

0:06:42.920 --> 0:06:45.159
<v Speaker 1>something to do with your temper, Brandon, the very first

0:06:45.160 --> 0:06:47.719
<v Speaker 1>time that I met you, you looked as though you

0:06:47.760 --> 0:06:50.960
<v Speaker 1>were about to blow a gasket. Now, regardless to whatever

0:06:51.000 --> 0:06:54.520
<v Speaker 1>the situation was, you were annoyed, You thought somebody was

0:06:54.520 --> 0:06:55.919
<v Speaker 1>trying to talk to your man. You felt that you

0:06:55.920 --> 0:06:58.280
<v Speaker 1>were disrespected. The fact that that was the first time

0:06:58.320 --> 0:07:00.000
<v Speaker 1>that I had met you, and that was the story

0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:05.200
<v Speaker 1>that I was walking away with that says a lot.

0:07:05.200 --> 0:07:09.440
<v Speaker 1>Three how you do anything, that's how you do everything.

0:07:09.960 --> 0:07:11.720
<v Speaker 1>Do you think that this is the first time that

0:07:11.800 --> 0:07:14.680
<v Speaker 1>you got upset or do you realize that this is

0:07:14.680 --> 0:07:16.320
<v Speaker 1>the first time that perhaps it got out of hand

0:07:17.040 --> 0:07:19.720
<v Speaker 1>and you couldn't control it. Now, Brandon says, you know what,

0:07:19.920 --> 0:07:22.000
<v Speaker 1>I understand that these things happen when I have something

0:07:22.040 --> 0:07:24.360
<v Speaker 1>to drink, So therefore I'm gonna stain with drinking. I said,

0:07:24.360 --> 0:07:29.120
<v Speaker 1>Await a minute. Even bodybuilders have cheap days. What do

0:07:29.240 --> 0:07:31.280
<v Speaker 1>you do on a day that you may have a cocktail?

0:07:31.600 --> 0:07:33.360
<v Speaker 1>What do you do if you feel as though somebody

0:07:33.520 --> 0:07:35.640
<v Speaker 1>is looking at your man? How do you control yourself?

0:07:35.640 --> 0:07:37.720
<v Speaker 1>Because right now you're part of the love of your life,

0:07:37.800 --> 0:07:39.280
<v Speaker 1>the man that you said that you want to spend

0:07:39.280 --> 0:07:42.040
<v Speaker 1>your rest of your life with. Says, hey, there's a

0:07:42.080 --> 0:07:46.960
<v Speaker 1>point for pent I can't deal with. Oh no, why

0:07:46.960 --> 0:07:48.760
<v Speaker 1>are you looking at this point five percent? That's only

0:07:48.760 --> 0:07:50.200
<v Speaker 1>a piece of me that only happened once. Well, how

0:07:50.240 --> 0:07:53.920
<v Speaker 1>you do anything, it's all you do everything. I said, Brandon,

0:07:53.960 --> 0:07:55.560
<v Speaker 1>do you believe in God like push your faith? He

0:07:55.560 --> 0:07:59.119
<v Speaker 1>said yes. I said that point five percent is nothing

0:07:59.160 --> 0:08:03.360
<v Speaker 1>different then what God is saying in size of untail.

0:08:03.480 --> 0:08:05.560
<v Speaker 1>In terms of faith, the size is of a mustardcy

0:08:06.520 --> 0:08:09.720
<v Speaker 1>do you understand how powerful that point five percent is

0:08:10.080 --> 0:08:11.880
<v Speaker 1>no different to that of a power of a seed?

0:08:12.040 --> 0:08:15.280
<v Speaker 1>Right at whatever happening to it that day, that point

0:08:15.320 --> 0:08:18.320
<v Speaker 1>five got rooted in your man, Brian, we don't know

0:08:18.360 --> 0:08:21.760
<v Speaker 1>what's growing up in there. Now. What you have to

0:08:21.840 --> 0:08:25.200
<v Speaker 1>ask yourself is are you doing the work so that

0:08:25.240 --> 0:08:27.600
<v Speaker 1>you don't get out of pocket like you did? Because

0:08:27.640 --> 0:08:31.480
<v Speaker 1>remember that point five percent can derel your whole relationship.

0:08:31.680 --> 0:08:33.800
<v Speaker 1>It's not saying that you're a bad person, right because

0:08:33.800 --> 0:08:37.560
<v Speaker 1>we just established that this is amazing part of you.

0:08:38.559 --> 0:08:42.000
<v Speaker 1>But again, Brian has detailed that he is not going

0:08:42.080 --> 0:08:46.160
<v Speaker 1>to handle this point five. So he looked at me

0:08:46.200 --> 0:08:48.440
<v Speaker 1>and I said perplexed, and he said, you're right. He's like,

0:08:48.480 --> 0:08:50.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, I'm not always like that. You know, things

0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:52.480
<v Speaker 1>give me upset. I said, like, I said, you look

0:08:52.559 --> 0:08:54.520
<v Speaker 1>like you're about to blow a gasket. I said, your

0:08:54.520 --> 0:08:56.400
<v Speaker 1>body is tense. He's like, well, you know, it's a

0:08:56.440 --> 0:08:57.760
<v Speaker 1>lot that I had to deal with, you know, just

0:08:57.800 --> 0:08:59.880
<v Speaker 1>being a black man, you know, coming up in here

0:09:00.240 --> 0:09:02.079
<v Speaker 1>like somebody disrespect, to have to handle the fact being

0:09:02.080 --> 0:09:04.240
<v Speaker 1>from content, you know, dealing with my sexuality. It's a

0:09:04.240 --> 0:09:06.080
<v Speaker 1>lot going on, he said, plus on the fact, you

0:09:06.080 --> 0:09:07.880
<v Speaker 1>know he didn't grow up with the fact of his

0:09:08.000 --> 0:09:11.080
<v Speaker 1>parents every day trying to kill each other. Dang dang,

0:09:11.559 --> 0:09:18.840
<v Speaker 1>dong dong, fine, callaway peace. What's up everybody? This trade

0:09:18.920 --> 0:09:27.200
<v Speaker 1>change and you are listening to with don Day, I said,

0:09:27.240 --> 0:09:29.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm not here to judge you. I'm not here to

0:09:29.480 --> 0:09:32.120
<v Speaker 1>throw anything in your face. But do you see how

0:09:32.160 --> 0:09:34.160
<v Speaker 1>something that you have witnessed when you are a child

0:09:34.280 --> 0:09:36.880
<v Speaker 1>is leaking over into this area your life? Now none

0:09:36.880 --> 0:09:39.000
<v Speaker 1>of us are perfect, right because when we talk about

0:09:39.080 --> 0:09:40.920
<v Speaker 1>vitamin D, we talk about shared the light on the

0:09:40.920 --> 0:09:43.120
<v Speaker 1>good and the bad. Because what if you want to

0:09:43.160 --> 0:09:45.080
<v Speaker 1>be better and you want to do better, you have

0:09:45.160 --> 0:09:48.120
<v Speaker 1>to be able to see better. It's all about making wrong.

0:09:48.640 --> 0:09:50.440
<v Speaker 1>So I'm looking at Brandon, I said, now I need

0:09:50.520 --> 0:09:53.120
<v Speaker 1>you to make room for yourself and not judge yourself.

0:09:53.559 --> 0:09:55.120
<v Speaker 1>So as we make a room, I'm telling myself, I

0:09:55.240 --> 0:09:59.160
<v Speaker 1>sit back and look at everything. Right now, you just

0:09:59.440 --> 0:10:02.640
<v Speaker 1>acknowledge the fact that you grew up in the household

0:10:02.800 --> 0:10:05.840
<v Speaker 1>when your parents were abusive to one another. It was

0:10:05.920 --> 0:10:09.439
<v Speaker 1>just identifying the fact that when you have a cocktail

0:10:09.640 --> 0:10:13.080
<v Speaker 1>you might get a little upset. You just identified the

0:10:13.080 --> 0:10:14.839
<v Speaker 1>fact that you have a lot of stresses on yourself

0:10:14.920 --> 0:10:19.400
<v Speaker 1>in society as a whole, that's a common thread of

0:10:19.640 --> 0:10:22.840
<v Speaker 1>something that's going on or something that's existing right now.

0:10:22.880 --> 0:10:24.960
<v Speaker 1>Because none of us are perfect beings. We're just living

0:10:25.000 --> 0:10:28.040
<v Speaker 1>here imperfectly. What tools do we have around ourselves to

0:10:28.120 --> 0:10:30.120
<v Speaker 1>you to support us? And I said, have you ever

0:10:30.160 --> 0:10:33.200
<v Speaker 1>thought about therapy? Because we all have to do the

0:10:33.200 --> 0:10:35.840
<v Speaker 1>work somehow, right, we all can't think that we are

0:10:35.880 --> 0:10:38.680
<v Speaker 1>magicians and we just know how to piece everything together, right,

0:10:39.800 --> 0:10:42.280
<v Speaker 1>I said, because we're talking about something that instilled and

0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:44.440
<v Speaker 1>happened to you that when you were younger, it's affecting

0:10:44.480 --> 0:10:47.800
<v Speaker 1>your life right now. And guess what, it's only point five.

0:10:49.440 --> 0:10:52.080
<v Speaker 1>I even gave this example. As I'm standing on the balcony, right,

0:10:52.800 --> 0:10:55.679
<v Speaker 1>I said, imagine this, I said, my destination is right

0:10:55.720 --> 0:10:58.240
<v Speaker 1>in front of me. If I were to pivot, I

0:10:58.240 --> 0:11:01.280
<v Speaker 1>don't care if it was one million eater each step.

0:11:02.840 --> 0:11:07.559
<v Speaker 1>Eventually I'm falling off of the balcony because I'm derailing.

0:11:08.600 --> 0:11:10.760
<v Speaker 1>That's what happens when we start to ignore things that

0:11:10.760 --> 0:11:13.640
<v Speaker 1>are affecting us in our life. We think that we

0:11:13.720 --> 0:11:16.240
<v Speaker 1>have a clear vision on something, but something as small

0:11:16.320 --> 0:11:22.040
<v Speaker 1>as that point five can throw us off our game.

0:11:22.840 --> 0:11:26.120
<v Speaker 1>I looked at him, I said, could you imagine this

0:11:26.160 --> 0:11:30.080
<v Speaker 1>man has said you are everything he needs at point,

0:11:31.920 --> 0:11:35.079
<v Speaker 1>but he saw a point five percent of you that

0:11:35.200 --> 0:11:40.960
<v Speaker 1>he could not handle. That he said, wasn't immediately. No,

0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:43.880
<v Speaker 1>there's no tolerance for So I looked at me and

0:11:43.920 --> 0:11:46.080
<v Speaker 1>said that what do you do about that? Because now

0:11:46.120 --> 0:11:48.520
<v Speaker 1>we have to make a choice. You know, I say,

0:11:48.559 --> 0:11:50.280
<v Speaker 1>when you want to look at what your desires and

0:11:50.320 --> 0:11:52.200
<v Speaker 1>wants our life, you have to look at the choices.

0:11:52.440 --> 0:11:55.000
<v Speaker 1>Your choices will always tell you what you want. We

0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:58.080
<v Speaker 1>can say I decided this, and I want this so much. Okay, well,

0:11:58.280 --> 0:11:59.880
<v Speaker 1>what does the kind of decisions are you making? So?

0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:04.720
<v Speaker 1>I said, Brandon, what do you do from here? You

0:12:04.840 --> 0:12:07.360
<v Speaker 1>said that you gotta PI out of pocket one time

0:12:07.920 --> 0:12:10.360
<v Speaker 1>and it derails something I told you the first time

0:12:10.400 --> 0:12:13.600
<v Speaker 1>I met you. You seem to be in your feelings

0:12:13.600 --> 0:12:15.559
<v Speaker 1>in some type of way. I even furthermore, what to

0:12:15.559 --> 0:12:17.160
<v Speaker 1>tell him? I said, even this is the second time,

0:12:17.200 --> 0:12:20.079
<v Speaker 1>and understanding what's going on, We're always having this conversation

0:12:20.080 --> 0:12:23.600
<v Speaker 1>about you're not knowing where you're footing is. I said,

0:12:23.600 --> 0:12:26.000
<v Speaker 1>now that it's clear, Now you understand what it is.

0:12:26.000 --> 0:12:28.600
<v Speaker 1>And what it ain't it? Right now? This is that margin.

0:12:29.559 --> 0:12:31.160
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't take the fact the way that you can

0:12:31.160 --> 0:12:32.840
<v Speaker 1>love somebody doesn't take a fact the way that you

0:12:32.840 --> 0:12:35.839
<v Speaker 1>are passionate about something. If you are derailing yourself at

0:12:35.840 --> 0:12:41.040
<v Speaker 1>that point five percent, eventually you will tumble over. Hence

0:12:41.080 --> 0:12:43.360
<v Speaker 1>that's why we have parents. Right. I'm not saying that

0:12:43.400 --> 0:12:45.680
<v Speaker 1>you have to be perfect. What I'm saying is that

0:12:45.720 --> 0:12:47.920
<v Speaker 1>in order to be better and to do better, you

0:12:48.000 --> 0:12:54.160
<v Speaker 1>have to be able to see better. Brandon, what decision

0:12:54.200 --> 0:12:59.280
<v Speaker 1>are you going to make? What is your choice? We

0:12:59.400 --> 0:13:01.720
<v Speaker 1>have identify find the fact of what this party five

0:13:01.720 --> 0:13:04.840
<v Speaker 1>percent can affect you in your relationship, in your life?

0:13:04.960 --> 0:13:07.040
<v Speaker 1>Are you choosing to do what it takes to sustain

0:13:07.160 --> 0:13:13.040
<v Speaker 1>your relationship? Now, as far as much as I want

0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:14.960
<v Speaker 1>to say no judgment, it's still gonna be judgment because

0:13:15.200 --> 0:13:16.920
<v Speaker 1>who do you think that you are, that you're so

0:13:17.000 --> 0:13:20.960
<v Speaker 1>big and bad that you can figure out what's going on? Huh?

0:13:21.240 --> 0:13:23.600
<v Speaker 1>How are you expected to see through a blurry window

0:13:23.960 --> 0:13:29.160
<v Speaker 1>if it's not even clear? That's why oftentimes we use cleaners,

0:13:29.160 --> 0:13:31.680
<v Speaker 1>we use wipes to clear things up, We use other

0:13:31.760 --> 0:13:34.599
<v Speaker 1>tools outside of us. And that's why I want to

0:13:34.600 --> 0:13:38.199
<v Speaker 1>implore so much, especially in the African American community, how

0:13:38.280 --> 0:13:40.520
<v Speaker 1>we need to talk about things. Huh. We need to

0:13:40.559 --> 0:13:42.120
<v Speaker 1>get to the heart of the matter. What love this

0:13:42.200 --> 0:13:44.760
<v Speaker 1>and how important mental health is. Right, we need to

0:13:44.840 --> 0:13:47.280
<v Speaker 1>understand that what the trials and tribulations are people holding

0:13:47.320 --> 0:13:49.199
<v Speaker 1>onto that are members of the l g B, t

0:13:49.400 --> 0:13:54.439
<v Speaker 1>q I A community. Right, this is affecting people and

0:13:54.520 --> 0:13:58.000
<v Speaker 1>their livelihood, how they function, how they operate, and the

0:13:58.040 --> 0:14:01.920
<v Speaker 1>pressures that sit on there. Now, this man is up here, Brighton,

0:14:01.960 --> 0:14:05.400
<v Speaker 1>that's up here acknowledging his own way that perhaps there

0:14:05.480 --> 0:14:08.920
<v Speaker 1>is an anchor issue, perhaps not nine point nine percent

0:14:08.960 --> 0:14:10.680
<v Speaker 1>of the time he feels as though he is walking

0:14:10.720 --> 0:14:13.680
<v Speaker 1>around tents and not here to judge him. I was

0:14:13.679 --> 0:14:16.360
<v Speaker 1>just looking at him around the house, and I can

0:14:16.360 --> 0:14:19.200
<v Speaker 1>see how we're stepping on his tiptoes, just tensed up,

0:14:19.240 --> 0:14:21.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, just up. And one time I sitting next

0:14:21.480 --> 0:14:22.920
<v Speaker 1>and I was like, oh, hell, let's just stand down.

0:14:23.760 --> 0:14:25.560
<v Speaker 1>He was like, well, he said, oh yeah, and we

0:14:25.640 --> 0:14:27.440
<v Speaker 1>all have our thing. But my moment of saying it

0:14:27.520 --> 0:14:31.240
<v Speaker 1>said it's time to relax, It's time to make room.

0:14:32.640 --> 0:14:36.120
<v Speaker 1>Point five. When I left out the house, you know,

0:14:36.160 --> 0:14:39.920
<v Speaker 1>I helped him and his partner and I said, don't

0:14:39.920 --> 0:14:45.360
<v Speaker 1>forget what we talked about. I said, point five. What

0:14:45.440 --> 0:14:48.720
<v Speaker 1>do you want? He said, thank you so much. You

0:14:48.800 --> 0:14:51.280
<v Speaker 1>gave me some good things to think about. I said,

0:14:51.320 --> 0:14:52.720
<v Speaker 1>not listening. I don't want to have to come back

0:14:52.720 --> 0:14:56.560
<v Speaker 1>and talk about this again. It sounds small, but remember

0:14:57.760 --> 0:15:00.960
<v Speaker 1>small things take root, and when there's things that take

0:15:01.000 --> 0:15:05.960
<v Speaker 1>real things start to grow. Now, because we're human, we're

0:15:05.960 --> 0:15:11.720
<v Speaker 1>not perfect. Many things will grow depending on the season,

0:15:11.760 --> 0:15:14.520
<v Speaker 1>depending on the temperature. But it is our job, it

0:15:14.680 --> 0:15:19.120
<v Speaker 1>is our due diligence to do the trimmy you hear

0:15:19.240 --> 0:15:21.000
<v Speaker 1>when people talk about prony. I went through a whole

0:15:21.040 --> 0:15:23.200
<v Speaker 1>season in my life, and in many ways I still

0:15:23.240 --> 0:15:26.840
<v Speaker 1>am going through that season of prony, discerning what's for

0:15:27.040 --> 0:15:28.920
<v Speaker 1>me and what isn't for me. It isn't just a

0:15:29.000 --> 0:15:31.560
<v Speaker 1>one time thing. It is a constant thing, plucking not

0:15:31.640 --> 0:15:33.960
<v Speaker 1>only people, not only things, but pieces of me that

0:15:34.080 --> 0:15:39.920
<v Speaker 1>I need to define, but more importantly refine because it

0:15:39.960 --> 0:15:47.080
<v Speaker 1>could be just what that would point five. I wonder

0:15:47.120 --> 0:15:50.280
<v Speaker 1>what that point five is in your life? What is

0:15:50.360 --> 0:15:54.480
<v Speaker 1>that one little thing that's possibly derailing you from living

0:15:54.520 --> 0:16:01.520
<v Speaker 1>your best life of peace, of joy, of abundance. Is

0:16:01.560 --> 0:16:05.440
<v Speaker 1>it that relationship isn't that job? Is it that that

0:16:05.440 --> 0:16:08.160
<v Speaker 1>that social club that you're trying to keep up with

0:16:08.200 --> 0:16:12.640
<v Speaker 1>the Jones's with? What is it? We all got something.

0:16:13.280 --> 0:16:15.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm just saying, let's just make room, sit back, and

0:16:15.960 --> 0:16:20.920
<v Speaker 1>let's look at it, because we remember it's only point five.

0:16:22.760 --> 0:16:27.360
<v Speaker 1>All right, let's get to some housekeeping. Um oh, here

0:16:27.360 --> 0:16:29.800
<v Speaker 1>it is. Would you like to be on the show. Well,

0:16:30.000 --> 0:16:31.360

<v Speaker 1>we'd love to have you, or if perhaps you may

0:16:33.880 --> 0:16:35.320
