And in order to do that, that means 0:00:57.160 --> 0:01:00.000 you have to be in the present. That's our gratitude 0:01:00.240 --> 0:01:03.280 is everything. The more grateful we are, the more things 0:01:03.280 --> 0:01:06.679 we have to be grateful for. And it's important to 0:01:06.760 --> 0:01:10.800 recognize that because when you walk in gratitude, you pay 0:01:10.920 --> 0:01:15.200 attention to things. You realize you're not taking anything for granted. 0:01:15.280 --> 0:01:18.120 Like half the time, we be stressing out about tomorrow, 0:01:18.560 --> 0:01:20.959 the next week, the next month after that, and you 0:01:21.080 --> 0:01:23.600 don't even know if you are going to be here. 0:01:24.280 --> 0:01:27.800 So thank you God, thank you for waking me up today, 0:01:28.400 --> 0:01:31.280 thank you for allowing me to be present to realize. 0:01:31.280 --> 0:01:33.000 I mean, it only took me over thirty years to 0:01:33.040 --> 0:01:35.160 get here, but thank you God that I am here. 0:01:37.880 --> 0:01:40.840 If you've been listening for a minute, there was a 0:01:40.880 --> 0:01:43.479 point in a lot of the episodes I was singing 0:01:43.480 --> 0:01:48.080 this song, sow down, you're moving too fast, you gotta 0:01:48.120 --> 0:01:52.640 make the morning last, just kicking down the couple stones, 0:01:53.280 --> 0:01:59.440 looking for fun and feeling groofy. That was what's that 0:02:00.240 --> 0:02:03.000 I was at Our Lady of Loss of Life. So 0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:07.400 I was probably in seventh grade, was that junior high school, 0:02:08.360 --> 0:02:10.840 and that was a song that we would sing in 0:02:10.880 --> 0:02:18.000 our music class. Slow down, you moving too fast? You 0:02:18.160 --> 0:02:20.680 taking it for granted, You're stressing about something that's not 0:02:20.800 --> 0:02:23.440 right here, And thank you God that I'm here, Thank 0:02:23.480 --> 0:02:25.359 you God that I can feel that I can hear 0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:27.120 that I woke up, that I can taste, that I 0:02:27.120 --> 0:02:30.080 can open my eyes, that I can be present, that 0:02:30.160 --> 0:02:31.920 I can see the areas that I'm working on and 0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:34.040 still make strives to do it. Thank you for allowing 0:02:34.040 --> 0:02:37.360 me to lean into vulnerability. Thank you for allowing me 0:02:37.400 --> 0:02:39.240 to be placed in a moment that I'm doing things 0:02:39.240 --> 0:02:42.240 that I've never done before. And I'm uncomfortable, because God, 0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:45.680 that's what we call growing, and we stop growing when 0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:48.280 we're dead. And thank you God that I'm alive. Thank 0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:58.960 you God, Thank you don for giving yourself grace simply space. 0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:05.800 And I sincerely mean that like before, like if I 0:03:05.800 --> 0:03:09.360 forgot about something or if I did something wrong, I 0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:11.560 would really play that over in my head, like how 0:03:11.639 --> 0:03:16.639 many times I could have done it better? Overlooking the 0:03:17.000 --> 0:03:22.680 whole idea is that you're present enough to recognize it. Now, 0:03:23.120 --> 0:03:25.640 how can we change it? And how can we not 0:03:25.800 --> 0:03:28.960 ensure that happens again? What does it look like? And 0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:33.560 then because I'm not playing it over how many times 0:03:33.560 --> 0:03:36.280 I regret? I come into proactive mode where I can 0:03:36.360 --> 0:03:42.480 still amend the situation. So why are you trapping down? 0:03:44.440 --> 0:03:48.120 I don't know if that's speaking to you, but that's 0:03:48.160 --> 0:03:53.520 truly speaking to me. I took a stab, you know, 0:03:53.640 --> 0:03:57.360 doing Vitamin D live on Tuesdays and Thursdays at six 0:03:57.440 --> 0:03:59.600 thirty six thirty to seven thirty eight a m. Pacific time. 0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:01.640 Now it's on my Facebook. We're about to be back 0:04:01.680 --> 0:04:06.880 on all the channels. I took a step and talking 0:04:06.880 --> 0:04:09.640 about the Book of Joe. Hold on, let me set 0:04:09.680 --> 0:04:14.240 my tea. Okay, I got a branch because I need 0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:16.599 you to catch all this. This tea that I'm drinking 0:04:16.680 --> 0:04:18.680 is like this belly fat tea that I saw on 0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:32.920 TikTok so. The ingredients are a lemon, a tablespoon of kloal, garlic, ginger, cinnamon, 0:04:36.360 --> 0:04:38.480 and I even throw a green tea packet in there, 0:04:40.320 --> 0:04:43.039 and this shreds the belly fat. So again, let me 0:04:43.040 --> 0:04:47.080 tell you what it is. Get you a lemon, squeeze 0:04:47.080 --> 0:04:49.919 out the juice, put the whole skin in there, a 0:04:50.000 --> 0:04:57.200 tablespoon of clothes, ginger, a cinnamon stick, and go ahead 0:04:57.240 --> 0:05:00.599 and throw you in a bag of green tea. And 0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:04.279 also there was another recipe where pineapple. Did you know 0:05:04.360 --> 0:05:06.800 pineapple is really good for you? Now you need to 0:05:06.800 --> 0:05:10.560 be mindful if you have any type of blood conditions. 0:05:10.880 --> 0:05:12.680 Because it can thin out your blood. It does something 0:05:12.680 --> 0:05:14.039 with the blood, so check it out if you're on 0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:17.480 any type of medication. I can't even think of the bromoline. 0:05:17.520 --> 0:05:21.440 The bromoline and the pineapple, believe it or not, even 0:05:21.440 --> 0:05:23.240 the center part of the core. You can go on 0:05:23.320 --> 0:05:25.280 Amazon and get you a pineapple cutter, because you know 0:05:25.320 --> 0:05:27.880 I always talk about I got my pineapples. Because what 0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:29.880 do I say? If you stay ready, you ain't got 0:05:29.880 --> 0:05:33.080 it camp ready and anyway, So that was the segue. 0:05:33.080 --> 0:05:35.719 So I'm stepping on that as I'm getting parched. But 0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:37.760 I was like, let me tell you, family, because if 0:05:37.760 --> 0:05:40.640 it's working for me, why can't it work for you? Okay, Well, 0:05:40.640 --> 0:05:42.760 since I'm going off so much, let me take a 0:05:42.760 --> 0:05:44.600 commercial break, because you know, we got to get this money, 0:05:44.720 --> 0:05:49.840 plus we got to talk about growing. Okay, b r B. Hey, 0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:51.760 this is your girl, Shirley Strawberry. 0:05:51.800 --> 0:05:52.479 How you doing? 0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:52.880 Hi? 0:05:52.960 --> 0:05:55.679 Everybody, This is jaz men Bird coming to you. 0:05:55.480 --> 0:05:59.080 From the Vitamin Deeply DNDE podcast. You call her don Dae. 0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:12.080 I call her keep Shining down, keep shining. Okay, I'm back, 0:06:12.160 --> 0:06:14.479 so I'm drinking my team. So, like I said, I 0:06:14.560 --> 0:06:20.640 went ahead and leaned in and did a whole like 0:06:21.880 --> 0:06:24.000 I was about to say service, but what do we 0:06:24.040 --> 0:06:27.840 want to I mean talking about the scripture in the 0:06:27.880 --> 0:06:30.880 Book of Job. And I told the family, I said, 0:06:30.880 --> 0:06:32.800 this is the first time doing this. But when I 0:06:32.839 --> 0:06:35.200 was grateful for I remember back in eighth grade how 0:06:35.279 --> 0:06:38.640 my eighth grade teacher told me, Miss Carmo said she's 0:06:38.680 --> 0:06:40.960 going to be a preacher. And it's like, why have 0:06:41.080 --> 0:06:43.840 I not explored it? Not saying I have to let 0:06:43.880 --> 0:06:47.080 me rephrase this. Why had I ran away from it? 0:06:47.320 --> 0:06:49.240 And if you're not familiar with what I'm speaking on, 0:06:49.560 --> 0:06:51.360 go back to the episode when I talked about Happy 0:06:51.400 --> 0:06:53.560 Pride where I went into detail of all of what 0:06:53.600 --> 0:06:56.520 I'm mentioning right now. Then I'm just thinking about in 0:06:56.640 --> 0:07:00.960 high school, how you know the teachers would allow me 0:07:01.080 --> 0:07:02.960 to go ahead and get on top of the assembly 0:07:03.120 --> 0:07:05.440 or in front of the auditorium and speak on God. 0:07:05.880 --> 0:07:08.279 How people constantly ask the pray why haven't you really 0:07:08.360 --> 0:07:10.600 leaned in? So I said, don you've been afraid to 0:07:10.640 --> 0:07:12.200 get to know what you've been willing to get to know. 0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:14.920 And I'm always saying, you eat the meat and you 0:07:14.960 --> 0:07:17.240 spit out the bones. And when I think of God, 0:07:17.280 --> 0:07:19.080 God is love. But I just want to say, me 0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:23.680 trying new things, and I'm grateful for that. And I 0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:25.760 see myself and how I have to slow down and 0:07:25.800 --> 0:07:28.400 take my time with things, and I feel like it's 0:07:28.440 --> 0:07:34.960 worth it and I'm growing and just reflecting back just 0:07:35.000 --> 0:07:37.200 a tidbit on the book of Job. But what I received, 0:07:37.240 --> 0:07:40.280 just how this man has so much and he lost 0:07:40.320 --> 0:07:44.120 it all. And even as a human, you want to say, oh, 0:07:44.400 --> 0:07:46.520 I would rather not be here, give up, but you 0:07:46.600 --> 0:07:49.240 can't fail if you don't quit. You just got to 0:07:49.320 --> 0:07:51.600 hold on. And perhaps that's all. It's like, you got 0:07:51.600 --> 0:07:54.320 to stand on your faith. Perhaps that's why they say 0:07:54.360 --> 0:07:57.040 God is a rock, because you stand on that and 0:07:57.080 --> 0:08:04.960 it's solid. But as a human, he just said, why 0:08:05.000 --> 0:08:07.520 am I here? I've been so faithful, I've done the 0:08:07.600 --> 0:08:10.360 right things. Why am I here? And he had people 0:08:10.400 --> 0:08:12.800 to come in his life and to remind him, or 0:08:13.040 --> 0:08:15.880 when he got to the point of questioning God, God said, 0:08:16.360 --> 0:08:23.679 who do you think that you are to know why 0:08:23.760 --> 0:08:26.720 I do what it is that I do, And to 0:08:26.920 --> 0:08:29.400 think now this part he didn't essentially say, but this 0:08:29.440 --> 0:08:32.240 is what I'm saying, that everything I'm doing is not 0:08:32.400 --> 0:08:38.400 for your greater good. Catch it. What doesn't kill me 0:08:38.480 --> 0:08:48.559 makes me stronger. Hello, somebody, We fall down, but we 0:08:48.640 --> 0:08:55.679 get up. Pick yourself up and try again. Don't play 0:08:55.679 --> 0:08:58.800 with me. We read it in the scripture and we 0:08:58.880 --> 0:09:03.400 hear it in the song Hello somebody, somebody, Hello, did 0:09:03.440 --> 0:09:09.840 you catch it? Because it's hot? And Joe even when 0:09:09.840 --> 0:09:12.280 he wanted to question God, like I said, God said, 0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:16.040 can you even measure the sky that I created? Can 0:09:16.080 --> 0:09:19.360 you even fathom to imagine how depth the sea is? 0:09:19.400 --> 0:09:20.199 The water is? 0:09:20.640 --> 0:09:20.800 So? 0:09:20.840 --> 0:09:23.160 Who do you think you are to question why it 0:09:23.240 --> 0:09:31.680 is that I do when you have no understanding? And 0:09:31.800 --> 0:09:35.439 because we're human, because Dawn, you've allowed yourself to be present, 0:09:35.480 --> 0:09:39.080 and perhaps even you you recognize the areas in which 0:09:39.080 --> 0:09:44.520 you'll grow. Because what so, Dwn, you move in too fast? Right? 0:09:45.840 --> 0:09:50.640 Given ourselves grace, which essentially is space to stretch, to 0:09:50.840 --> 0:09:54.800 move around to figure it out. See, when we're so 0:09:54.920 --> 0:09:57.120 hard on ourselves, we feel like we have to walk 0:09:57.440 --> 0:10:00.480 in this straight line, as if this is the only 0:10:00.600 --> 0:10:04.960 way to call why, because we're measuring it up from 0:10:04.960 --> 0:10:08.360 what we've seen before or what the next person is doing. 0:10:08.400 --> 0:10:10.920 But if you want to be something you've never been, 0:10:10.960 --> 0:10:13.360 well you're going to have to do things that you've 0:10:13.400 --> 0:10:16.840 never done. And perhaps that's walking in your truth. Perhaps 0:10:16.880 --> 0:10:20.000 that's taking a chance on yourself. Perhaps that's giving yourself grace. 0:10:20.120 --> 0:10:22.840 Perhaps that's waking up and saying you're loving yourself. Perhaps 0:10:22.840 --> 0:10:28.040 that's you walking and being simply you. And that means 0:10:28.080 --> 0:10:31.800 you can't put a reference on anybody else. Did you 0:10:31.880 --> 0:10:35.520 catch it? And I feel as though, no, I don't 0:10:35.520 --> 0:10:39.280 feel well. I feel and I know that I'm giving 0:10:39.320 --> 0:10:43.360 myself this moment and I'm understanding how good it is 0:10:43.559 --> 0:10:49.240 is to be because we'll never be as young as 0:10:49.240 --> 0:10:53.320 we are right now. And remember they call it the 0:10:53.320 --> 0:10:55.480 fountain of youth. So what are you doing with your 0:10:55.480 --> 0:10:59.160 most valuable asset and your time? Why are you getting 0:10:59.200 --> 0:11:01.280 so fixated on what you think it has to look like? 0:11:01.760 --> 0:11:03.640 Why are you just afraid to put one foot in 0:11:03.640 --> 0:11:06.240 front of the other, Because guess what, your dreams are 0:11:06.280 --> 0:11:10.559 still able true. And sometimes we get caught up in 0:11:10.640 --> 0:11:12.720 things and have to be in like a certain situation, 0:11:12.920 --> 0:11:16.080 and that's not the case. Can I be transparent with you? 0:11:19.480 --> 0:11:21.880 Just reflecting back? We just got over what two months 0:11:21.880 --> 0:11:26.400 that I've left the FM dial and I was always 0:11:26.400 --> 0:11:27.880 in this place where I said I want to be 0:11:28.400 --> 0:11:31.520 where I'm supposed to be, and the hurt of the 0:11:31.559 --> 0:11:34.240 longing or whatever it is, I felt it was just like, Wow, 0:11:34.400 --> 0:11:37.360 you know, God, why do we have to change this again? 0:11:37.480 --> 0:11:40.880 Questioning as if I know why God does what God does? 0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:44.440 Ding who do you think you are? The question? And 0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:50.360 I said, I always thought, you know, my idea being 0:11:50.480 --> 0:11:54.560 on the radio. What's going to leverage me so I 0:11:54.559 --> 0:12:01.480 can be a speaker, so I can MC events, host graduations. 0:12:06.040 --> 0:12:13.920 There you got, I'm doing it and I ain't on 0:12:14.160 --> 0:12:21.840 the f And now my God is good and we're 0:12:21.880 --> 0:12:22.880 still crawling. 0:12:23.080 --> 0:12:27.000 And I've been saying this, having a stepping into vulnerability, 0:12:27.960 --> 0:12:31.240 doing things that I've never done, and it's like God 0:12:31.360 --> 0:12:36.640 is pussing me in my garden. It an'll rise up. 0:12:39.320 --> 0:12:43.359 You gotta catch it. So I need you to get uncomfortable. 0:12:44.800 --> 0:12:48.920 I need you to lean into your vulnerability because greater 0:12:49.400 --> 0:12:53.520 it's coming. But you're gonna have to get a little 0:12:53.559 --> 0:12:56.800 dirt on you and to be in this space of 0:12:56.960 --> 0:13:01.000 not figuring out but just giving grace because you say, hey, 0:13:01.800 --> 0:13:07.240 I'm gonna take a chance on myself. I'm gonna lean 0:13:07.360 --> 0:13:15.160 into being uncomfortable. Many things are possible for me speaking 0:13:15.200 --> 0:13:20.920 to Dickerson for the graduation, the principal coming up and say, hey, 0:13:21.080 --> 0:13:23.959 I want you to come back.

Got going back 0:13:29.800 --> 0:13:35.480 to MC the graduation ceremony for you not to LA 0:13:35.559 --> 0:13:41.720 for the Clean Tech Academy. Thank you God? What And 0:13:41.800 --> 0:13:44.200 I'm thinking that I have to measure up on all 0:13:44.280 --> 0:13:49.440 that I know, But God says, exceedingly and abundantly. 0:13:49.880 --> 0:13:55.360 Far more than what you could cover from. But it's 0:13:55.400 --> 0:14:07.480 gonna take some courage. And I was watching still It's 0:14:07.679 --> 0:14:11.200 the show or the movie rather or the biopic of 0:14:11.320 --> 0:14:15.520 Michael J. Fox and him talking about Parkinson's disease and 0:14:15.840 --> 0:14:18.679 how it affect his life and something that he said 0:14:18.720 --> 0:14:22.040 he said and as to why he never gave up 0:14:22.680 --> 0:14:24.360 is I. 0:14:24.240 --> 0:14:27.440 Got a chip in a chair, That's what he said. 0:14:27.880 --> 0:14:30.920 As long as I got a chip in the chair. Okay, 0:14:31.040 --> 0:14:33.600 So we gotta get this money we can. We're doing 0:14:33.640 --> 0:14:36.120 things we ain't never done. So I'm about to go 0:14:36.160 --> 0:14:40.080 on commercial breaking and when I come back, I want 0:14:40.120 --> 0:14:42.840 to talk to you about the importance of having a 0:14:42.920 --> 0:14:45.560 chip in a chair. All right, b r B. 0:14:47.240 --> 0:14:51.200 By this callaway peace. 0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:53.960 What's up everybody? This is trade chain and you are 0:14:54.040 --> 0:15:01.880 listening to anxiety and with Donde. So Michael J. Fox 0:15:01.960 --> 0:15:05.680 and his Apple TV Plus biopic is entitled Still. He 0:15:05.760 --> 0:15:08.360 was very transparent about his parkinson disease, and he talked 0:15:08.360 --> 0:15:10.440 about having a chip in the chair, and it just 0:15:10.440 --> 0:15:12.960 stood out to me because that's what he held on 0:15:13.000 --> 0:15:16.360 to for his dreams. He always reminded himself that as 0:15:16.360 --> 0:15:18.000 long as I got a chip in a chair, I'm 0:15:18.000 --> 0:15:19.800 still in the game. He was referring to the game 0:15:19.800 --> 0:15:22.160 of poker. And as long as you got a chip 0:15:22.160 --> 0:15:25.680 in your hand and you're in a chair, anything is possible. 0:15:26.200 --> 0:15:27.640 So that's why he could say he'd be at the 0:15:27.640 --> 0:15:33.160 phone booths, couldn't even afford a cheeseburger dollar ninety nine cheeseburger, 0:15:33.160 --> 0:15:36.240 but he talking to his agent about a seven figure deal. 0:15:36.840 --> 0:15:42.880 What furthermore, just me talking about how sow down, you're 0:15:42.920 --> 0:15:46.120 moving too fast. How his project's entitled Still because now 0:15:46.160 --> 0:15:51.440 with Parkins's disease, his body continues to joke and he 0:15:51.520 --> 0:15:55.800 longs for a moment of just being still. And I 0:15:55.800 --> 0:15:58.200 guess it's twofold because I wanted to highlight that, because 0:15:58.200 --> 0:16:00.480 that starts off or leads with the other message that 0:16:00.520 --> 0:16:02.440 I want to pass up a time to about how 0:16:03.840 --> 0:16:07.200 you got to slow down so you operating gratitude, so 0:16:07.240 --> 0:16:09.520 you can recognize where you are and have more of 0:16:09.560 --> 0:16:13.400 an idea of where you're going and what I mean 0:16:13.440 --> 0:16:15.680 by when I say where you're going, as far as 0:16:15.880 --> 0:16:19.800 how it makes you feel, not saying that you got 0:16:19.800 --> 0:16:22.160 it all laid out, but you're in tune with your body. 0:16:22.200 --> 0:16:26.640 You're in tune with yourself that you trust the steffs 0:16:26.640 --> 0:16:30.720 that you take even when it comes down to being uncomfortable. 0:16:31.880 --> 0:16:34.560 Hence a chip in a chair. He said he got 0:16:34.600 --> 0:16:37.200 to a point where all the furniture in his home 0:16:37.320 --> 0:16:39.440 was gone, but he said, hey, as long as I 0:16:39.480 --> 0:16:43.200 had a chip in a chair, dang on near work 0:16:43.200 --> 0:16:45.600 in twenty hours of days filming Back to the Future, 0:16:45.640 --> 0:16:47.400 and then I can't even think of the other show 0:16:47.760 --> 0:16:50.480 that he was doing at the time simultaneously then then 0:16:50.520 --> 0:16:52.680 becoming a hit, and then remember he had teenage Wolf 0:16:53.880 --> 0:16:58.040 basically not getting sleep, and then his disease started showing up. 0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:02.760 Talked about how he was so much into trying to 0:17:02.840 --> 0:17:05.879 hide it, and they it was beautifully done together because 0:17:07.560 --> 0:17:09.960 they even oh my gosh, like poetry, oh my gosh, 0:17:10.080 --> 0:17:12.080 like how I like to be singing songs and Vitamin D. 0:17:13.680 --> 0:17:16.760 They weaved in the narrative of very shows and TVs 0:17:16.800 --> 0:17:18.760 into what the message that he was saying is if 0:17:18.800 --> 0:17:22.000 he were speaking. But that's beautiful. I'm gonna tell you 0:17:22.080 --> 0:17:24.359 right now. I am a huge fan of Apple TV 0:17:24.440 --> 0:17:28.679 plus clus So what is it? It's Disney for me, 0:17:31.400 --> 0:17:34.919 and it's Apple TV Plus and I like title uh 0:17:35.400 --> 0:17:38.879 streaming services. I'm like in it. I don't care. We 0:17:38.880 --> 0:17:43.760 need to catch it so anyhom him even talking about 0:17:43.840 --> 0:17:46.520 how doing all these shows and how he had tried 0:17:46.520 --> 0:17:49.320 to hide the fact that he couldn't even stay still, 0:17:51.080 --> 0:17:53.840 and how he would shoot pills down and trying to 0:17:54.040 --> 0:17:58.240 hide that, and he said, I gotta be transparent about 0:17:58.240 --> 0:18:01.159 what I got now. Of course this is later on, 0:18:01.240 --> 0:18:04.800 and perhaps because there's no hiding it anymore. Nevertheless, when 0:18:04.840 --> 0:18:08.280 I say you gotta get uncomfortable, how you gotta lean in. 0:18:09.840 --> 0:18:11.520 He even talked about how he would just be moving 0:18:11.560 --> 0:18:13.639 so fast and again longing for a moment of just 0:18:13.720 --> 0:18:16.760 being still, peace, be still. Why are you stressing again? 0:18:16.960 --> 0:18:20.359 You don't know what tomorrow bay bring, but you better 0:18:20.400 --> 0:18:24.560 live now. And because he gotten the point of operating 0:18:24.560 --> 0:18:26.840 a space of gratitude, knowing that he is alive today, 0:18:26.880 --> 0:18:29.000 knowing that he has been fortunate enough to pursue his 0:18:29.080 --> 0:18:31.080 dream to have the love and support of his family, 0:18:31.680 --> 0:18:34.520 accepting himself. So what he was trying to hide before 0:18:34.560 --> 0:18:36.679 with the whole Parkinson disease he talked about in the 0:18:36.680 --> 0:18:38.479 future jobs that he got that they worked it in 0:18:38.560 --> 0:18:42.080 part with the character and it was enlisted as jokes 0:18:42.119 --> 0:18:45.160 again exceedingly and abundantly, far more than what you could 0:18:45.160 --> 0:18:49.040 ever imagine. But you gotta be willing to get uncomfortable. 0:18:51.000 --> 0:18:56.080 So I say, thank you God, thank you Dawn. And 0:18:56.160 --> 0:18:58.000 I know greater is coming in I don't know. And 0:18:58.280 --> 0:19:00.440 I say this because this is the affirmation of how 0:19:00.480 --> 0:19:03.359 I speak life over myself. This is further the reason 0:19:03.400 --> 0:19:06.959 why I have life tated on my bottom lip, because 0:19:07.080 --> 0:19:11.320 I have to speak it to myself. I gotta say 0:19:11.320 --> 0:19:14.080 it so I believe it. And I talked about in 0:19:14.119 --> 0:19:16.280 reading this book and how your ear is like an embryo. 0:19:16.480 --> 0:19:19.359 What you put in it, things will grow. And we 0:19:19.480 --> 0:19:22.040 know this because we talk about affirmations. What are you 0:19:22.080 --> 0:19:24.679 putting in your ear? Are you speaking it over yourself? 0:19:24.680 --> 0:19:26.480 Are you walking into it? Well, you're going to have 0:19:26.520 --> 0:19:30.200 to get uncomfortable. There's a young lady that works in 0:19:30.280 --> 0:19:36.640 my gym. We always have an exchange talking and one 0:19:36.640 --> 0:19:39.280 thing we always say, always telling, you know, leading in vulnerability, 0:19:39.800 --> 0:19:41.640 you know me working out and just all this great 0:19:41.640 --> 0:19:45.840 stuff right and somehow we're always reminded and we talk 0:19:45.880 --> 0:19:52.720 about God often, always reminded how everybody wants love but 0:19:52.840 --> 0:19:57.080 not being vulnerable enough to receive it. What so, how 0:19:57.119 --> 0:19:58.600 you going to want to be more than what you 0:19:58.640 --> 0:20:00.600 are right now? If you don't want to get uncomfortable 0:20:00.640 --> 0:20:03.640 and grow feeling like you gotta have control of everything, 0:20:03.880 --> 0:20:06.919 not allowing yourself grace with your space to stretch and 0:20:06.960 --> 0:20:09.760 gold because no matter what, as long as you gotta 0:20:09.840 --> 0:20:11.679 chip in the chair, you in the game. So you 0:20:11.680 --> 0:20:13.679 don't have to compare with somebody else thinking, oh, if 0:20:13.720 --> 0:20:15.480 I had this, and why don't I do this? If 0:20:15.480 --> 0:20:17.719 this was the perfect time, if I knew this person. 0:20:18.000 --> 0:20:20.760 Don't you think God knows what Yad is doing? So 0:20:20.840 --> 0:20:24.879 why are you tripping? Slow down? You're moving too fast. 0:20:26.400 --> 0:20:29.960 Slow down, you're moving too fast, just so caught up 0:20:31.680 --> 0:20:34.280 and what you think is supposed to look like, be like, 0:20:34.440 --> 0:20:38.840 feel like stop playing with me, God said exceedingly in abundantly. 0:20:38.880 --> 0:20:42.200 You can't even fathom too imagine how out of all 0:20:42.240 --> 0:20:46.760 the snowflakes in the world that come down, like maybe 0:20:46.760 --> 0:20:50.000 on your block, not now one is the same, not 0:20:50.200 --> 0:20:53.679 now one. Billions of people on this earth are not 0:20:53.880 --> 0:20:58.480 now one of us are the same. Stop playing with me. 0:21:00.560 --> 0:21:02.680 I feel like saying a lot even identical twin, it 0:21:02.720 --> 0:21:06.320 ain't all completely identical. Somebody gonna smile a little different, 0:21:07.119 --> 0:21:10.359 talk a little different personality saying. You telling me that 0:21:10.440 --> 0:21:12.280 you gonna try to figure out what God can do 0:21:12.440 --> 0:21:15.119 when God says exceedingly and abundantly, far more than what 0:21:15.160 --> 0:21:17.080 you could have or imagine. But you're trying to hold on, 0:21:17.359 --> 0:21:21.960 let go and let God, let God have his way again. 0:21:22.080 --> 0:21:23.800 Doing you getting so caught up of thinking that you 0:21:23.880 --> 0:21:26.359 got to be in this platform, in this situation to 0:21:26.440 --> 0:21:28.440 do what it is that you ask God to do. 0:21:30.520 --> 0:21:32.560 And it doesn't mean that I'm not saying that I 0:21:32.600 --> 0:21:36.439 don't aspire for that moment. No, I'm not saying that. 0:21:36.800 --> 0:21:40.760 What I'm saying is you got to operate in gratitude. 0:21:41.560 --> 0:21:43.720 Don't be wallowing because it's not what you look like 0:21:43.760 --> 0:21:47.720 when but what you ask God for to be At 0:21:47.760 --> 0:21:51.160 an eighth grade graduation speaking to the eighth grade class, 0:21:51.800 --> 0:21:55.080 and parents and teachers are telling me I inspired them, 0:21:55.720 --> 0:22:00.639 stop playing with me. When Christine Devine, who hosts Fox 0:22:00.680 --> 0:22:03.959 eleven News at five, says she was enamored with my speech, 0:22:04.119 --> 0:22:08.040 stop playing with me. So I just want to be great, 0:22:08.760 --> 0:22:12.159 And they say, if you want to be great, you 0:22:12.240 --> 0:22:16.119 gotta do things that great people do, and great people 0:22:16.160 --> 0:22:19.679 do things that every day people don't do. Where do 0:22:19.760 --> 0:22:24.160 you fall with that? Are you going to compare yourself 0:22:25.119 --> 0:22:26.919 and look at the next person and thinking that's how 0:22:26.960 --> 0:22:29.120 you got to do it? That it has to happen 0:22:29.119 --> 0:22:34.159 at a time that you can fathomto imagine, or you 0:22:34.240 --> 0:22:38.119 gonna trust what you feel and do things that make 0:22:38.160 --> 0:22:40.560 you feel uncomfortable so that you can stretch, so that 0:22:40.640 --> 0:22:43.200 you can grow, so that you can be more than 0:22:43.240 --> 0:22:47.320 what you could have her imagine and give yourself grace. 0:22:47.359 --> 0:22:49.240 If you mess up. Listen, we fall down, when we 0:22:49.280 --> 0:22:51.760 get up. If you can look up, you can get up. 0:22:52.040 --> 0:22:54.880 If you fall down seven times, get up eight. Your 0:22:54.960 --> 0:22:58.000 location is not your destination. Where you are right now 0:22:58.400 --> 0:23:03.240 doesn't determine or where you would be. But if you're 0:23:03.240 --> 0:23:06.520 not willing to crow, if you're not willing to get uncomfortable. 0:23:06.640 --> 0:23:08.880 If you're not willing to take a chance, you will 0:23:09.000 --> 0:23:13.119 never know. And as in the book of Doctor Seuss, 0:23:13.160 --> 0:23:20.760 oh the places you'll go. So I'm just wondering, if 0:23:20.760 --> 0:23:22.639 you're like me and you want to be more than 0:23:22.680 --> 0:23:25.879 where you are right now, will I want to implore 0:23:25.920 --> 0:23:28.679 you to take a chance on yourself. I want to 0:23:28.720 --> 0:23:33.679 implore you to do things that you would have never imagined. 0:23:35.119 --> 0:23:40.000 That means learning a new skill, That means perhaps forgiving somebody, 0:23:40.040 --> 0:23:45.800 even if that person is yourself. It's about dusting yourself 0:23:45.840 --> 0:23:53.360 off and trying again. Okay, So that's what I want 0:23:53.440 --> 0:23:59.520 to say. Slow down, you're moving too fast. Gratitude is everything, 0:24:02.320 --> 0:24:05.639 and know that as long as you have a chip 0:24:05.720 --> 0:24:15.480 and a chair, you're stealing the game. Hey, that's that heartbeat, 0:24:16.000 --> 0:24:19.440 that's that purpose, that's you and your ability to hear 0:24:19.480 --> 0:24:23.800 what I'm saying. Right now, we're here for a good time, 0:24:23.840 --> 0:24:30.000 not a long time. Yeah, all right, So I'm adding 0:24:30.000 --> 0:24:33.160 this to it bit because why not doing you want 0:24:33.160 --> 0:24:36.560
