1 00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:14,280 Speaker 1: Hello, everyone, my beautiful people. Welcome to this week's episode 2 00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:18,200 Speaker 1: of Cheeky's and Chill. I hope that you guys are 3 00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:21,720 Speaker 1: having an amazing week, a productive week, a safe week. 4 00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:27,320 Speaker 1: I want to talk today about something that came up 5 00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:30,960 Speaker 1: in one of my workouts. I was on the treadmill 6 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,800 Speaker 1: and I was thinking about confidence, and I was actually 7 00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:39,239 Speaker 1: on Instagram and I was noticing a few things, and 8 00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:40,920 Speaker 1: so I thought, I'm going to talk about this on 9 00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,600 Speaker 1: the podcast. So today we're going to talk about confidence 10 00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:46,560 Speaker 1: and godfidence, Okay, And I'm going to tell you guys 11 00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:52,480 Speaker 1: what I think they both are and my definition of confidence. 12 00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 1: So I'm going to make this short and sweet because 13 00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 1: I feel that that's what just you know, you know, 14 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:02,160 Speaker 1: I don't want to make it too long. I don't 15 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:08,039 Speaker 1: want to over explain. But basically, I heard this word 16 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:14,200 Speaker 1: godfidence years ago. I would listen to a lady called 17 00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:19,800 Speaker 1: Joyce Meyer, and she is a preacher and I love 18 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 1: her books, and I would listen to she had like 19 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:27,200 Speaker 1: an app and she used the word godfidence, and I 20 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 1: wanted to share it with you guys because I feel 21 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 1: now more than ever, a lot of people feel that 22 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 1: confidence is more to do with our outer abilities versus 23 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:44,400 Speaker 1: our inner abilities. And for me, that's what godfidence is. Okay, Again, 24 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,319 Speaker 1: it's not about me trying to preach to you or 25 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 1: shove religion down your throat, because that's not what it is. 26 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 1: You guys know that I'm a spiritual person. So whether 27 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 1: you want to call the higher power God, or you 28 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 1: want to call it the universe, or whatever it is 29 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 1: that you believe in, I truly believe that there is 30 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 1: a higher power, something a lot stronger, a lot more 31 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 1: powerful than myself, which is what I submit to every day, 32 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,800 Speaker 1: and which is why I get on my knees and 33 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 1: I just kind of humble myself before this higher power. 34 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 1: You can call it whatever you want. I like to 35 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,840 Speaker 1: call it God. So that's why I say godfidence because 36 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 1: godfidence is more to do with our inner abilities versus 37 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 1: our outer abilities. Okay. Now, on social media, I see 38 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 1: a lot people that feel confident with their bodies, maybe 39 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 1: with saying I'm confident because I can wear this, or 40 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,839 Speaker 1: I have this nice booty in this small little waist 41 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,119 Speaker 1: and these big muscles, or I have this amazing car, 42 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 1: this Lamborghini or this burken bag or all of these 43 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 1: materialistic abilities or things that you have accomplished, and that's 44 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 1: what gives certain people the confidence to the outer world. 45 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,640 Speaker 1: But I've learned, and of course I'm not gonna say 46 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 1: any names, but I've learned that I've seen a lot 47 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 1: of beautiful and handsome people. But then you sit down 48 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 1: and you speak to them, and they don't know who 49 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 1: they are. They have no idea where they're going. They 50 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 1: are living day by day, which might be great, but 51 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 1: they have no substance. You speak to them and it's 52 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 1: like an empty shell of just beauty and muscles. And 53 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 1: they have these flashy things on and they have this 54 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 1: very expensive purse, and they drive this amazing car, and 55 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 1: they have these great positions. But I learn nothing from them. 56 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 1: And that's okay. But to me, I feel like confidence 57 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 1: has to do with knowing who you are. And I'm 58 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,000 Speaker 1: telling you, guys, it's because I learned this a while back, 59 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 1: literally two years ago. This came with a lot of 60 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 1: time and experiences and a lot of falling on my face. 61 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 1: For a long time, I thought I was confident. I 62 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 1: think I was being confident because that's what I thought 63 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 1: I had to do, you know, and show the world 64 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 1: that I'm confident in this way, but literally I learned 65 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 1: what confidence is like two years ago when I lost 66 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,599 Speaker 1: the fear of what people are gonna think of me. 67 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 1: I've always felt peace with who I am and I 68 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,159 Speaker 1: would go to sleep and you know how they say, 69 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 1: like you know at night the miss Quilla, you go 70 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 1: to sleep feeling peaceful. I have felt that, but I 71 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 1: was like, I learned my purpose, And that's what godfidence 72 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 1: is about, is really really trusting and knowing your inner abilities, 73 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 1: your morals, your values, and that gives you this confidence 74 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:48,160 Speaker 1: of even if they were to take away everything I've 75 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 1: earned and I've accomplished in the exterior world, I would steal. 76 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,600 Speaker 1: And I'm telling you this with my heart in my hand, 77 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 1: and I am not saying that this is what I want. 78 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 1: But I'm so confident and who I am within myself 79 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 1: and what I think and what I have to bring 80 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 1: to this world. I know my purpose. Then now I 81 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 1: walk differently that now, if they were to take away 82 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 1: my career, or they were to take away my home, 83 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 1: or I were to just lose everything, I'd say, Okay, 84 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:19,919 Speaker 1: I have the abilities here and here to rebuild myself. 85 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 1: If I need to go sell oranges, and I say 86 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:26,040 Speaker 1: this in my book. You better believe that I will 87 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 1: sell the best oranges and I will make the best 88 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 1: orange juice out there, like I will find a way 89 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,359 Speaker 1: to rebuild myself because I have so much faith in 90 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 1: the higher power and in my innerabilities that that is 91 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,480 Speaker 1: only that is God given that no one can take 92 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 1: that away from me. That it's giving me this different 93 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,920 Speaker 1: confidence to the exterior world where like Cheek's you are 94 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,160 Speaker 1: glowing differently. I'm like, yeah, because I know myself. Now, 95 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 1: now I know myself, I might unapologetically I myself. This 96 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,719 Speaker 1: is who I am. I like myself. I really love 97 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 1: myself more than loving myself. I like who I am. 98 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,839 Speaker 1: I like who I am inside that even if I 99 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,720 Speaker 1: gain weight, because it has nothing to do because people think, oh, 100 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:11,159 Speaker 1: does it have to do with the media, or like, yes, 101 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 1: I have a great guy in my life, and yes, 102 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 1: he helps me feel better because he gives me peace, 103 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 1: because he reassures me, he values me. That definitely helps. 104 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 1: But even with that, I had to learn to love 105 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:27,279 Speaker 1: myself in order for him to see that in value 106 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 1: that in me, and that took a long time. That 107 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 1: took time and experiences and a lot of kissing frogs 108 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 1: to get to my prints. So yes, it has to 109 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 1: do with that. And yes it has to do with 110 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 1: the fact that I've lost weight because that makes me 111 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,720 Speaker 1: feel better. That makes you feel better, absolutely, But I 112 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:48,679 Speaker 1: know myself. In order to find your way in this world, 113 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,280 Speaker 1: you need to learn your who, Who are you? What's 114 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 1: your purpose? It doesn't have to be my purpose. I 115 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:58,040 Speaker 1: feel like my purpose is thank goodness, I have this platform. 116 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 1: I'm able to share my experiences and be completely honest 117 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,839 Speaker 1: and hopefully change lives through my books, through my music, 118 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 1: through my podcast. But it doesn't even have to be 119 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:14,239 Speaker 1: on that scale. It could be in your workplace, whatever 120 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 1: it may be. It's what is your purpose? Why are 121 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 1: you here? What difference do you want to make in 122 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 1: the world. Another part of finding your godfidence, your true 123 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 1: inner confidence, you guys, is service. Being of service. That's 124 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 1: part of having purpose in life is being of service 125 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:50,760 Speaker 1: to others. Yes, loving self care, self love, we're all 126 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 1: about that on this podcast. But it's also that's for 127 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 1: you to be aligned, for you to feel good in 128 00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 1: order to give your best right, but being of service 129 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 1: to someone gives you this different feeling of Also, it's 130 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 1: part of your purpose. It's part of feeling confident. So 131 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 1: that's why I wanted to talk about that because I 132 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 1: feel like it's getting lost and it worries me for 133 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 1: future generations to come. It's the substance is being lost 134 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 1: on social media. People don't want to read anymore. Like 135 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 1: people want instant gratification. There's no like looking at longevity. 136 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 1: Everyone wants everything quick. The attention span is getting shorter 137 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 1: and shorter and shorter. And I see it, I see it, 138 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 1: I experience it, and everyone is just fluffed. And I 139 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 1: felt the need to talk about this once again. I 140 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,679 Speaker 1: was on the treadmill and I was thinking, and I 141 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,199 Speaker 1: read and I listen to books, and I was just like, dude, 142 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 1: this is something that I got to talk about. Like 143 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 1: so many people are lost in just the fluff and 144 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 1: the plush of life. And granted, I like pretty things. 145 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 1: I like things that bling. Everything right now is they 146 00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 1: amanthas and blinging, But there's so much more to that 147 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 1: than just what the eye, what the eye sees, or 148 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 1: what the eye means. It's it's like I don't want 149 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:09,080 Speaker 1: the substance to be lost, Like because once that beautiful 150 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 1: body's gone and those big muscles and what if God 151 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 1: forbid you lose your car or something like. You can't 152 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 1: let those things define you because those things can be 153 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:25,560 Speaker 1: taking away from you. It's really working on your inner 154 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 1: self that is going to take you further. And that's 155 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 1: one thing that I talk about with Emilia all the time. 156 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 1: I'm like, Okay, are you gonna love me even though 157 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 1: if I if I gain weight or I start getting wrinkles, 158 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,559 Speaker 1: and you know, like, because I'm seven years older than him, 159 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 1: so we have these conversations, I still feel vulnerable. I 160 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:51,679 Speaker 1: still feel insecure sometimes, and he said yes, because I'm 161 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 1: in love with the human being that you are, with 162 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,840 Speaker 1: your soul. And that's what I want to always cater to, 163 00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 1: is my soul and working on that and learning to 164 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 1: be the best version of myself. And I have ugly 165 00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 1: days too, you guys, I have days where I'm not 166 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 1: the best version of myself. But at least now I 167 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 1: have the balls and the confidence and I'm unapologetically myself 168 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,320 Speaker 1: to say, you know what, I'm sorry. I was messed 169 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,040 Speaker 1: up and I hurt your feelings and I apologize.

I'm in 338 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:47,359 Speaker 1: ground myself. I'm here on earth. I am human, I 339 00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:50,280 Speaker 1: have responsibilities, but I'm here, Like you have to ground yourself, 340 00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:52,240 Speaker 1: like I literally do that, or I rub my feet together, 341 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,600 Speaker 1: or I smell roses, or I touch something that's like 342 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:59,160 Speaker 1: from nature, Like it's just it helps me. So those 343 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:04,160 Speaker 1: are just small things. And just check yourself every day, 344 00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:09,240 Speaker 1: you know, I do it. I also get off tracks 345 00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:13,240 Speaker 1: sometimes and I'm caught up in things that are necessarily 346 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,720 Speaker 1: serving my highest good. And I pray every day and 347 00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:20,960 Speaker 1: I ask God. I'm like God, remove and anything or 348 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:24,600 Speaker 1: anyone that no longer serves my highest good because I 349 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:27,359 Speaker 1: want to be my best self every day. And there 350 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:29,600 Speaker 1: are times that I entertain relationships that I know that 351 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:32,320 Speaker 1: I shouldn't. Not like a loving relationship like a media 352 00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:34,359 Speaker 1: I'm talking about like a relationship like it could be 353 00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:36,359 Speaker 1: a friendship, it could be a business relationship where I'm like, 354 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:38,439 Speaker 1: I know that this isn't good for me, but I 355 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:40,639 Speaker 1: entertain it for the sake of not hurting their feelings 356 00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 1: or whatever the heck. But it's not necessarily good for me, 357 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:48,760 Speaker 1: and I need to just sometimes give myself a little 358 00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,160 Speaker 1: pat on the ass and say, hey, you know better. 359 00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:56,840 Speaker 1: You know better, So just know it's a process, definitely 360 00:19:56,840 --> 00:20:00,640 Speaker 1: a process. But if you are intentional about it, and 361 00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,600 Speaker 1: you're like, I want to do this, even if it's 362 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 1: a little uncomfortable at first, it'll become a habit. The 363 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 1: more you do it, it becomes a habit, you guys. 364 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:14,600 Speaker 1: So practice makes perfect. So yes, I hope that you 365 00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:18,399 Speaker 1: guys understood everything I said and it resonates with you 366 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,800 Speaker 1: in some way, And just don't forget what's important in 367 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,760 Speaker 1: this world, what's really important, the things that are going 368 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:28,760 Speaker 1: to leave this earth with you, which is your soul, 369 00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,840 Speaker 1: your spirit?

What do 371 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:37,000 Speaker 1: you want people to remember you for? Ask yourself those 372 00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 1: questions and if it is materialistic things and fuck it, 373 00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:42,480 Speaker 1: that's you and that's who you want to be, then 374 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:46,160 Speaker 1: great own it. But really, no, this is who I 375 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:48,040 Speaker 1: am and this is what I want the world to 376 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:53,200 Speaker 1: remember me for.
