Speaker 1: and every time on every episode is to understand when
Speaker 1: it comes to the Vitamin D with Dawn Day Podcast,
Speaker 1: is it's about shed of light on a good and
Speaker 1: a bad or and they're not so good. Because if
Speaker 1: you want to be better and you want to do better,
Speaker 1: you gotta be able to see better. You're gonna have
Speaker 1: to call yourself out on your staff or you're junk,
Speaker 1: smell the things that don't smell so good. So either
Speaker 1: you know where you don't want to go or you
Speaker 1: know what you want to be. Either way, we're talking
Speaker 1: about a three sixty of you. Can you dig it?
Speaker 1: And if you're returning, thank you. I appreciate you, I
Speaker 1: see you, I feel you, I do It means a lot.
Speaker 1: I say this all the time that with vitamin d uh,
Speaker 1: this is a journey with myself as well. I'm figuring
Speaker 1: out things, I'm understanding things. I'm realizing how many things
Speaker 1: I probably don't have the answers to but ultimately and uh,
Speaker 1: wanting to figure it out. But that's what comes with living.
Speaker 1: And when we think about living, that's a source of movement.
Speaker 1: And in movement, I guess the first thing that I
Speaker 1: come it comes to mind it's like water. You ever
Speaker 1: know that water is constantly moving and when it's not moving,
Speaker 1: it's like dark, it's muddy. You really can't see through it.
Speaker 1: And I guess that's why they say let's be like water,
Speaker 1: let's be fluid, let's move um. They also say it's
Speaker 1: the sheer indicator of life. I mean, we're we're eighty
Speaker 1: percent water. So if you haven't guessed it already. I
Speaker 1: want to talk to about some water. I'm gonna talk
Speaker 1: to you about some water today. Actually, I'm gonna talk
Speaker 1: to you about one of my favorite songs. It's called
Speaker 1: Oceans and it's by Hillsong United UM a church, and
Speaker 1: we just we're called to dive in a little bit
Speaker 1: of faith because I was talking to a friend over
Speaker 1: the weekend and I played this song for her, and
Speaker 1: I feel like a lot of people understanding what it
Speaker 1: means to have your faith and what it means to
Speaker 1: be like water. So let's dive into it. So, without
Speaker 1: further ado, it's time for your dose of vitamin damin.
Speaker 1: D right with me and get excited about You know,
Speaker 1: music has always spoken to me. I probably had a
Speaker 1: sheer indicator of the relationship of music with myself or
Speaker 1: with me In high school. I went to a all
Speaker 1: Catholic school. I shouldn't say all Catholic. I went to
Speaker 1: a Catholic school and it was all girls school, Mercy
Speaker 1: High School, Farmington Hills. One of the things that we
Speaker 1: had this program for like seniors and juniors. It was
Speaker 1: called Cairos now initially as a senior trip, but if
Speaker 1: you were fortunate you were selected to be a cairo's leader,
Speaker 1: and therefore you went your junior year with the current
Speaker 1: seniors who were above you. And then it so happens
Speaker 1: that when you become a senior, you become a leader
Speaker 1: for your year. Well, if you haven't guessed it, yeah,
Speaker 1: that was me. I was a cairo's leader. And we
Speaker 1: had to um figure out what our symbol was and
Speaker 1: what that was is like what was that thing that
Speaker 1: we stood by that represents us. Some people was a bird,
Speaker 1: some people may have been the sun. Well mine was
Speaker 1: a music note. And while we let our group, we
Speaker 1: said different prayers, we did meditation, we we did these
Speaker 1: different workshops. There was also a time we had to
Speaker 1: do a talk. And I always go back and I say,
Speaker 1: Vita mun d was birth and New York under the comforter,
Speaker 1: But perhaps it was way before that. See, with myself,
Speaker 1: music has always had a way of speaking to me.
Speaker 1: It has always been something that has carried me through
Speaker 1: uh a happy, sad, egg good bad times of my life.
Speaker 1: Music has been my instrument of peace truly. Um So,
Speaker 1: in my senior year, I chose the music note, and
Speaker 1: it was because music was always my gateway to be free.
Speaker 1: At the time, there was so much going on. But
Speaker 1: I guess whatever could see him a lot to somebody
Speaker 1: in high school, what seventeen eighteen years old? Um, And
Speaker 1: a song that I related to a lot was a
Speaker 1: song Caged Bird by Alicia Keys. And the reason why
Speaker 1: I'm putting the comparison of what I'm talking about the
Speaker 1: symbol of my music note and I thought about Alicia
Speaker 1: keys cage Bird is that she says, sometimes I feel
Speaker 1: like a bird caged without a key. The only joy
Speaker 1: comes from a song, So why not just set her free?
Speaker 1: And for a while I felt like my joy was
Speaker 1: with music. It was my way to express what I felt,
Speaker 1: UM to be what I wanted to be, UM, to
Speaker 1: really just get my emotions out because I was always
Speaker 1: viewed or I am always viewed as someone as strong,
Speaker 1: UM got it together. So it kind of leaves you
Speaker 1: a little bit of room to uh, I guess, to
Speaker 1: be human, to be in a space where you may
Speaker 1: not know or you're trying to figure out maybe you
Speaker 1: can relate. Uh. You know, Beyonce says, who saves the hero?
Speaker 1: After she saves the world? Everybody needs somebody. But that's
Speaker 1: why I think I and I reverted to so many
Speaker 1: songs and that talk um of just different things that
Speaker 1: have carried me through, different things that I fought, that
Speaker 1: pushed me through. And as I was saying, I was
Speaker 1: talking to a friend like, you know, we all there's
Speaker 1: so many ships happening. I've been talking to so many
Speaker 1: people and they're like, man, that shifts. You know. I
Speaker 1: talked about in the previous episode about this pruning season
Speaker 1: that I feel like I'm in the season where like
Speaker 1: things and different people's are falling away. But I know
Speaker 1: that is right because I see God on folded in
Speaker 1: my life. Look, I'm talking to you right now in
Speaker 1: Sherman Oaks, California. So, whether the vitamin D started out
Speaker 1: in high school during Kiros or like I say, underneath
Speaker 1: the comforter in New York, right now, I'm in Sherman Oaks, California,
Speaker 1: and it took me. It took me some time to
Speaker 1: get here. Literally and figuratively. Uh. Literally in the sense of,
Speaker 1: you know, getting to the point of comfortable to say, Hey,
Speaker 1: I am about to go out here for these dreams. Uh.
Speaker 1: Figuratively in the sense of having a different or true
Speaker 1: understanding or another level of an understanding of when what
Speaker 1: it means when your feet will fail, really let your
Speaker 1: faith stand. And I thought about the song Oceans a
Speaker 1: powerful song because I think for a lot of people,
Speaker 1: if you got a dream and the dream doesn't always
Speaker 1: have to be a career, that's what That's what means
Speaker 1: a lot to me in my life. I'm not married, Um,
Speaker 1: I'm not in a relationship. I don't have any children.
Speaker 1: So my next thing is my dream. I shouldn't say
Speaker 1: my next thing. My thing is my dreams. And whether
Speaker 1: your dream is your family, whether it's working out, um,
Speaker 1: whether it's becoming a famous artist, a writer, a producer,
Speaker 1: a scientist, a new or surgeon, heck and astronaut, whatever
Speaker 1: it is. I want you to listen to what I
Speaker 1: got to say, Um, what we're going out to these dreams.
Speaker 1: You realize that you're figuring out as you go, like
Speaker 1: there's no road map as to how how you get there,
Speaker 1: because it's your path and the only thing that you
Speaker 1: know that you have to go after is one it
Speaker 1: in front of the other. It's that consistent moving the
Speaker 1: same thing. I'm talking about oceans. But there's this thing
Speaker 1: because there isn't a blueprint as to works goes or not.
Speaker 1: A lot of people can tell you how to get
Speaker 1: there because the vision came to you and they can't
Speaker 1: see what you can see if you did what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: And so it comes to a point that you really
Speaker 1: have to put a reliance on yourself. Well that's where
Speaker 1: Oceans comes in, because in this pursuit of our best life,
Speaker 1: our favorite life, or the life that we desire um,
Speaker 1: a lot of things can come our way, a lot
Speaker 1: of things that may seem unsurmountable, a lot of things
Speaker 1: that may seem like it's trying us, and you just
Speaker 1: know you gotta get to the other side. But checked this,
Speaker 1: I don't know if you're battling the cancer. I don't
Speaker 1: know if you just gotta let go from your job.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you're breaking up in your relationship,
Speaker 1: whatever it is, it's a moment of having that faith.
Speaker 1: And you know, oftentimes you're hearing you refer to a
Speaker 1: lot of things like in the Scripture and the Bible,
Speaker 1: and you also hear me say at the same token
Speaker 1: that I'm not a Christian. I don't subscribe to Christianity,
Speaker 1: but what I do subscribe to is the truth and
Speaker 1: the Word and the principles, Um, and you got to
Speaker 1: realize that the truth comes in different shades. It doesn't
Speaker 1: mean that it's incorrect. It just depends on whichever lens
Speaker 1: that you're looking at it from or through. Then whichever
Speaker 1: angle you're looking at it with, and depending on how
Speaker 1: you feel, depending on your growth or your your area life,
Speaker 1: it will determine the shade or the filter that's on
Speaker 1: your lens. Well, here's the thing, Like I said, whatever
Speaker 1: you're going through right whatever it seems like, Oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be able to make it. It reminds
Speaker 1: me of the story of Moses, which is gonna lead
Speaker 1: me to oceans. When it came down to me, UM,
Speaker 1: in a state of once are ready to leave my job,
Speaker 1: I remember thinking to myself off because I was like,
Speaker 1: what am I to do? I was like, you know,
Speaker 1: all these years I worked at this point to get
Speaker 1: to the number one show, and here I am about
Speaker 1: to step away because I know the vision that God
Speaker 1: gave to me. I know what it is that I'm
Speaker 1: going after. And I'm like, it's the middle of a pandemic,
Speaker 1: or pandemic that means everybody is getting let go. So
Speaker 1: many people are dying. The opportunity seem like zero to
Speaker 1: none right, right, But for whatever it's in me, reminds
Speaker 1: me of the story of Moses, because here was an army,
Speaker 1: a group of people in mind. You, I don't know
Speaker 1: the whole story verbatim, but I'm even as just okay,
Speaker 1: so we can understanding relates. You got all these people
Speaker 1: behind you, right, and then there's nothing but water. Now.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you've ever been on a cruise
Speaker 1: ship or been at the wave pooler just to a
Speaker 1: point where the water is insurmountable. From as far as
Speaker 1: I can see, there's just water. Now. Look, you gotta
Speaker 1: imagine that you're on your feet. You gotta imagine that
Speaker 1: in that water. Depending on what kind of water it is,
Speaker 1: you got shunks, you got wells, you got acto push
Speaker 1: I'm talking about animals in the water that's probably as
Speaker 1: big as some of these buildings out here. Catch what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, and you, if we were to put a
Speaker 1: comparison upon these animals are probably like a like the
Speaker 1: size of our our pinky compared to our femur, which
Speaker 1: is the largest bone in our body. Right, there is
Speaker 1: a little bitty thing or how about the baby toe,
Speaker 1: and here it is Moses. He's standing there and he's
Speaker 1: looking like I gotta get to the other side. I
Speaker 1: think we all should be a little bit like Moses.
Speaker 1: Right because I say this because whatever it is, looking
Speaker 1: at how far that, how wide, how deep the water is,
Speaker 1: there was no other point to go through. So that
Speaker 1: lets you know that whatever it is that you're experiencing,
Speaker 1: it's not like somebody hasn't experienced it before. It's not
Speaker 1: like somebody hasn't gone through it. So to think that
Speaker 1: it's just you in this isolated process, that oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: the woe was me and how could this happen to me?
Speaker 1: No one else has experiences how dare you? Because while
Speaker 1: this story is not the same now, while this story
Speaker 1: may not be forbade them true as far as a
Speaker 1: man splitting the ocean or the sea, but it's to
Speaker 1: tell you about what's possible, about what you can do
Speaker 1: when you have no other choice to go through, and
Speaker 1: how you literally have to move that way in your
Speaker 1: life because when something is calling you, you gotta go.
Speaker 1: So that leaves me, okay, move it over to oceans,
Speaker 1: Like I said, that water right as far as you
Speaker 1: can see And the only way I can describe of
Speaker 1: those who feel as though they gotta go out to
Speaker 1: the ocean, it's because there's a pool inside of you
Speaker 1: that you can't control. You can't contain it. It's almost
Speaker 1: like somebody has their hands over your neck and you're
Speaker 1: trying to breathe. That's all you're fighting for. So when
Speaker 1: you're looking at this idea of oceans, and we're gonna
Speaker 1: go back and forth with the lyrics, right, you called
Speaker 1: me out upon the waters, the great unknown, where my
Speaker 1: feet may fail, and there I find you in the
Speaker 1: mystery and oceans deep. My faith will stand our entire life. Right,
Speaker 1: we know that if we stand, we stand upon our feet.
Speaker 1: But could you imagine what it's like to stand without
Speaker 1: your feet? What do I mean by that? We'll shoot?
Speaker 1: The only other way is I guess, like flying, but
Speaker 1: to literally getting to the point where your feet actually
Speaker 1: may feel with your feet may give out. But that's
Speaker 1: what you call faith. That's what you call faith when
Speaker 1: everything around you was telling you one thing, which you know,
Speaker 1: you gotta move forward. And just like they're saying, you
Speaker 1: gotta find God in the mystery, because even when you
Speaker 1: can't figure out and how oceans are d How many
Speaker 1: people do you know have been to the bottom of
Speaker 1: the ocean. Huh, what the existence is? That's how deep
Speaker 1: it is? Right, and God is like, yo, I'm calling
Speaker 1: you for your best life. I'm calling you for your dreams.
Speaker 1: But you're gonna have to meet me out there. I
Speaker 1: didn't say you had an oxygen pack. I didn't say
Speaker 1: that you were with the four crew, because remember, this
Speaker 1: vision came to you. Whatever it is, the kind of
Speaker 1: life that you want, but you still gotta go. Then
Speaker 1: out in the oceans, it says, I will call upon
Speaker 1: your name and keep my eyes above the waves. You know,
Speaker 1: it's the whole thing where you gotta say. But God,
Speaker 1: and my cousin I died earlier this year in January,
Speaker 1: and uh, we were talking about something. We were talking
Speaker 1: about how in life, anytime you put anything before God,
Speaker 1: that but God, it becomes negated. It's obsolete. It doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: You hear it all the time. I don't know how
Speaker 1: I was gonna make it, but God. I didn't think
Speaker 1: I was gonna survive but God. I didn't think I
Speaker 1: was gonna make it in time but God. But then
Speaker 1: you notice that when you put God first everything becomes
Speaker 1: an end and then I you know, I talked about
Speaker 1: how you know it's kind of similar to the cross
Speaker 1: because it's like an addition sign. It's like the yes
Speaker 1: end in your life. Right, But here's a thing. You
Speaker 1: go out there because you're feeling like your call but
Speaker 1: still in the midst of everything, that doesn't stop the
Speaker 1: seasons from changing, that still doesn't stop life from happening,
Speaker 1: and understanding how you have to coexist on that. So
Speaker 1: what happens you quit your job and you've got some
Speaker 1: health issues? What happens you quit your job and what
Speaker 1: God forbids you getting an accident? What happens well? And
Speaker 1: the lyrics of the song is saince I keep my
Speaker 1: eyes above the wave. When oceans rise, my soul will
Speaker 1: rest in your embrace. What so not only going after
Speaker 1: your dreams from as far as your eye can see, right,
Speaker 1: not only you stepping out there not knowing exactly how
Speaker 1: you're going to survive, but knowing that you are being
Speaker 1: called out there? Now the times a're moving because you
Speaker 1: know we talked about with water doesn't stop moving, especially
Speaker 1: as the sun goes Now, you know, the times get
Speaker 1: higher and the waves they start the clash is just
Speaker 1: so much moving. But in despite of whatever you're going through,
Speaker 1: you gotta keep your eyes above the waves. And even
Speaker 1: as you keep your eyes of other ways, there's a
Speaker 1: whole sense of that peace be still that you hear about.
Speaker 1: And I guess I just don't really think a lot
Speaker 1: of people understand how important it is to keep the
Speaker 1: vision of life. See they said keep your eyes above
Speaker 1: the waves. See I'll receive that. You gotta keep your
Speaker 1: eyes on the prize. You gotta keep your eye on
Speaker 1: the vision because there's a lot of things that are
Speaker 1: trying to deter your vision, try to distract your vision,
Speaker 1: things that try to shadow onto your vision, things that
Speaker 1: will try to hinder your vision. But seeing your vision
Speaker 1: sees beyond your eyes. It's it's beyond what is exactly
Speaker 1: in front of you. It is the vision, the prelude
Speaker 1: to your best life. So then it becomes what do
Speaker 1: you want? What do you really want in your life?
Speaker 1: And it's a testament to your faith because when you're
Speaker 1: out there right and you gotta just call on just
Speaker 1: but God, you have to call on God for whatever
Speaker 1: the situation. And it could be God, and this guy
Speaker 1: could be the God and you whatever it is, that
Speaker 1: it's your driving sports that you gotta call in a situation.
Speaker 1: But God, that's faith. But comes back to how bad
Speaker 1: dude you want it, Because as the Clark's sister said,
Speaker 1: I'm just resting in my father's hands. I'm resting in
Speaker 1: that piece. You gotta rest in your peace about what
Speaker 1: you want for your life and stop making excuses about
Speaker 1: why it seems so hard, because we're all a sman
Speaker 1: fishing this ocean right, swimming fronction air nor we gotta
Speaker 1: keep moving, understanding while we can go how we can
Speaker 1: still go deep. So what you're gonna do? We can't
Speaker 1: keep squawling or screaming out the whole wall was me
Speaker 1: even in the moments of when you feel as though
Speaker 1: you cannot make it, he said, But God, it says
Speaker 1: that you're gonna call out the name right, and that
Speaker 1: just reminds me of how you have to remember that
Speaker 1: death and life are in the power of the time.
Speaker 1: You have to choose to speak life over yourself and
Speaker 1: understanding that when you are faced with different adversities, when
Speaker 1: you are faced with the fact of you going out
Speaker 1: in this wide ocean right where it doesn't seem like you,
Speaker 1: you could not make it, although eight of your body
Speaker 1: is made from water, although that water is the indicator
Speaker 1: of life. You have to remind yourself of the plans
Speaker 1: the God set for your life, or the plans that
Speaker 1: you have for your life. You know, I'm you know,
Speaker 1: I'm a god. Yeah. Yeah. And sometimes it's always talking
Speaker 1: about the God and me, the God and you about
Speaker 1: what is the power that you have for you in
Speaker 1: your life? What are you willing to step out on
Speaker 1: so that you can live your best life? Spirit, leave
Speaker 1: me when my trust is with out borders, Let me
Speaker 1: walk upon the waters wherever you will call me. Gosh,
Speaker 1: dang it, how many of you are out there? Or
Speaker 1: how about you? Are you out there not listening to?
Speaker 1: God has something you to do? Are you Let me
Speaker 1: rephrase that, are you out there not listening to what
Speaker 1: your true passion is? That's the God in you, That's
Speaker 1: who I'm referring to. And you have to have that
Speaker 1: trust and ability that when you step with one foot,
Speaker 1: another foot is coming in front of the other. There's
Speaker 1: a possibility for you to keep going and to keep moving,
Speaker 1: to keep pressing. And it's just a challenge. If you
Speaker 1: got to pick up your staff and move. That is
Speaker 1: the test meant of your faith. You can sink or
Speaker 1: swim what do you want? And I think it's so
Speaker 1: interesting too, are not interesting? You know? What I love
Speaker 1: about it as well is that when God we go
Speaker 1: through these things and challenges, sometimes we gotta have it
Speaker 1: all knocked out, so you can only say, is but God?
Speaker 1: So there's no other reliance and you only know if
Speaker 1: you've been through some things. It ain't something that everybody
Speaker 1: can tell you. People can tell you from references. Hey,
Speaker 1: you can look at today's age, and we know what
Speaker 1: God has been doing every other time before that, the
Speaker 1: time before that, and the time before that, references upon
Speaker 1: references and every tongue and every language in all four
Speaker 1: corners of the earth. Yet we still have this whole
Speaker 1: idea what will trust references over? You know what has
Speaker 1: been prophesiesed and talked to us our entire life. But
Speaker 1: you understand that that feeling in those references and how
Speaker 1: that in racist and know that somebody got you. And
Speaker 1: then in the lyrics of oceans they say, what does
Speaker 1: it say for I am yours and you are mine?
Speaker 1: Check it if they want an other And God got you,
Speaker 1: you think he ain't got you. Check what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: If they're one or the other and God got you,
Speaker 1: do you think he doesn't got you? You coexist in
Speaker 1: one another, right, So then it becomes about what is
Speaker 1: your faith and what do you want? What will your
Speaker 1: faith be? Well? Are you gonna let your faith say?
Speaker 1: How long are you going away? How many excuses? I
Speaker 1: only say that because time is ticking tick talk. I
Speaker 1: don't care which angle or whatever you're going through. It's
Speaker 1: always somebody's ocean. There's things in the water that you're
Speaker 1: not gonna be able to see. There's giants in there.
Speaker 1: There are probably times your size. But when you got
Speaker 1: stories and you talk about what MO was, this words
Speaker 1: to separates. You gotta walk with your affirmation, your confirmation
Speaker 1: of knowing who you are and knowing who you are
Speaker 1: and the ability that you have over your life. You
Speaker 1: check it with me because I just, I just it
Speaker 1: just don't make sense to me that you've got something
Speaker 1: that's calling on you and you're wasting time and you're
Speaker 1: not doing it. You do understand that you're going to die.
Speaker 1: You do understand that there are only so many excuses
Speaker 1: to make You do understand that you are not the
Speaker 1: only person that has been this predicament that you didn't
Speaker 1: know how you were going to get out of it.
Speaker 1: You do understand there are people with testimonies that say,
Speaker 1: but God. You do understand that there are people who
Speaker 1: said impossible and turned it into impossible. You do understand
Speaker 1: that greater is he who was in me that he
Speaker 1: was in the world. You do understand that you can
Speaker 1: have whatever you want out of life. So then I
Speaker 1: have to ask you, what do you want? It's like
Speaker 1: the million dollar question I think in this life, because
Speaker 1: if we have been told that we can create whatever
Speaker 1: life that we want, why aren't we doing it? Why
Speaker 1: aren't we living all out? It just simply doesn't make
Speaker 1: sense to me. I mean, how many excuses are there
Speaker 1: gonna be, how many curtains are we gonna hide behind?
Speaker 1: How many masks are going to be put over our
Speaker 1: mouths to speak? How many ear plugs are put in
Speaker 1: our ears? We were the words of God or the
Speaker 1: words of the spirit of words, whatever you feel have
Speaker 1: just fell off and loved. What is it going to take, truly,
Speaker 1: what is it gonna take for you to live your
Speaker 1: best life? What is it gonna take for you to
Speaker 1: feel like, Oh, I'm about to walk out on that ocean. Yo,
Speaker 1: I'm about to walk out where it just seems impossible,
Speaker 1: where I am going to have to rely on the
Speaker 1: faith within myself, the faith in God to get to
Speaker 1: the other side. At what point do you decide mm hmm,
Speaker 1: because I'm telling you, on this road to your dreams,
Speaker 1: I don't even like, say, God is the safety that
Speaker 1: the way you're walking on your dreams. You have no
Speaker 1: idea how the session that is gonna catch you. If
Speaker 1: that makes it, it's not even if you you may know,
Speaker 1: is that like God got you? But you don't know.
Speaker 1: And all you know is that you gotta take one
Speaker 1: ft in front of the other, put one ft in
Speaker 1: front of the other, spirit leaving me. That's what you
Speaker 1: gotta ask, now, guys, that's what you gotta request, because
Speaker 1: I think that's important in life, and I think a
Speaker 1: lot of people disregard about what it is they want
Speaker 1: based on some type of fear about the fear of
Speaker 1: the water, the waves that's gonna move, and not understanding
Speaker 1: those same waves that you fear are the same ways
Speaker 1: composed of the same thing that gives you life. Perhaps
Speaker 1: that's why even when we look int may and we
Speaker 1: say your greatest opposition is staring right back at you.
Speaker 1: You know, I said that water is one of the
Speaker 1: most powerful elements. It can give life and it can
Speaker 1: also take it away, kind of like our tongue. You
Speaker 1: guys can speak life or you can speak death. So
Speaker 1: you're gonna choose faith over fear. What do you choose? Period?
Speaker 1: I think that that's what it boils down to in life.
Speaker 1: It's just what do you choose? And then coming to
Speaker 1: the point where you can accept what it is that
Speaker 1: you chose in your life. I know sounds easier said
Speaker 1: than done, but to be told, that's what it truly is.
Speaker 1: It's just about what you want again, what do you want?
Speaker 1: Because whatever it is that you do want, you know
Speaker 1: that you're gonna have it, but you gotta really want it.
Speaker 1: I said this before, and I borrowed the words from
Speaker 1: Eric Thomas, He's from Detroit. What up though? You have
Speaker 1: to want your dreams as bad as you want to breathe.
Speaker 1: And it's not only because you want to breathe, because
Speaker 1: I'm breathing. But if you want to think about it, really,
Speaker 1: if somebody were to try to hold you under water
Speaker 1: and try to suffocate you, do you understand that there
Speaker 1: comes to a point that your body will fight. It
Speaker 1: becomes a natural reaction. Perhaps that's even when we look
Speaker 1: at some of the best athletes in the world. They
Speaker 1: live and breathe their sport. Some of the singers, some
Speaker 1: of the writers, some of the best rappers, they're consistently
Speaker 1: in their craft. They're moving it. So it can be
Speaker 1: a flow of motion, a fluid motion, perhaps just similar
Speaker 1: to that of water. It's a consistent flow. And just
Speaker 1: like that water, you realize that you can't be stagnant
Speaker 1: because when you're stagnant, it becomes murky. And what happens
Speaker 1: when things become murky? Can somebody tell me you can't
Speaker 1: see vitamin D with dawn day? It's all about shutting
Speaker 1: the light. But if you're not willing to put one
Speaker 1: foot in front of the other and get to move it,
Speaker 1: how are you gonna see the light? Ain't nothing moving.
Speaker 1: It's not over until your death. So if you're in
Speaker 1: a space, if you're in a position of being a
Speaker 1: move mentally, physically, spiritually, move with it. Do you understand
Speaker 1: what I'm saying? Because that will become a time where
Speaker 1: you can't move and if you choose not to move now,
Speaker 1: you will be sitting or standing or moving and walking
Speaker 1: in a dark room and you don't even realize that
Speaker 1: the lights are all Can you imagine that here, this
Speaker 1: whole time, that you thought that this was a life
Speaker 1: for you, but rather than getting out to your comfort zone,
Speaker 1: rather than going out to the oceans, you didn't even
Speaker 1: realize how much life and how much abundance is for you.
Speaker 1: So again, what do you want? The mere choice of
Speaker 1: living your best life, the mere choice of deciding to see,
Speaker 1: the mere choice of you deciding to step in the
Speaker 1: mirror to see yourself back is a step in the
Speaker 1: right direction, because then you start to decide what it
Speaker 1: is that you want, how do you want to achieve it?
Speaker 1: What does it look like? One ft in front of
Speaker 1: the other, realizing that things will get crazy, things will
Speaker 1: get shaky, but knowing that I gotta keep going. Are
Speaker 1: you still moving? Only you can answer that? And here's
Speaker 1: the thing. This is the thing about your cheat. Your
Speaker 1: cheat is whether or not you are gonna do the
Speaker 1: work yourself, because you're gonna have to find a god
Speaker 1: in mystery. And I think another reason why you gotta
Speaker 1: get out into the ocean where your feet are gonna
Speaker 1: fail because you gotta get yourself in a situation because
Speaker 1: maybe there was a time, or maybe you don't realize
Speaker 1: the power of God and the God in you where
Speaker 1: you are going to have to realize that it was
Speaker 1: no other way that you got through it, but God.
Speaker 1: Perhaps that's why we gotta be lived there. Perhaps that's
Speaker 1: why we gotta go through things. Perhaps that's why some
Speaker 1: of the people have the greatest testimonies because they had
Speaker 1: to take the test. Are you a witness, I'm a witness.
Speaker 1: I know what God has done for me. What the
Speaker 1: question is is that are you ready for what God
Speaker 1: is about to do in your life? Are you ready
Speaker 1: to walk out in that ocean? Are you ready to
Speaker 1: have the spirit leads you? Are you ready to call
Speaker 1: out the name? Calling out the name? Okay, you can say, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm speaking to somebody in the air, but calling out
Speaker 1: the name is merely speaking life. Calling out the name
Speaker 1: is literally speaking truth, your truth, that you can profess
Speaker 1: the truth, that you can create the truth of your life.
Speaker 1: So when you feel like you're getting down and depressed,
Speaker 1: you gotta speak wisdom, you gotta speak courage. You have
Speaker 1: to affirm who you are and what it is that
Speaker 1: you want. And I say it so passionately because in
Speaker 1: Proverbs one death and life on the power of the time,
Speaker 1: and you gotta speak life over yourself. Perhaps we were
Speaker 1: so ignorant um to get blessed with life, or we
Speaker 1: just got into this earth and we just appeared here.
Speaker 1: But there comes a point where we have toffirm to
Speaker 1: confirm mhmm. We have to affirm to confirm to ourselves
Speaker 1: about who it is we are, what it is that
Speaker 1: we want, and how we choose to live our life.
Speaker 1: You realize that when you become limitless, wildest dreams come true,
Speaker 1: when you decide to not let fear hold you back,
Speaker 1: you realize how far you can go. When you decide
Speaker 1: you're going to let your faith stand where your feet
Speaker 1: may fail. Do you realize how high you can fly?
Speaker 1: So tell me this little birdie, you're ready to soar?
Speaker 1: Hasn't that interesting? We talked about going after our dreams
Speaker 1: and soaring, like you can look at the birds and
Speaker 1: the sky and their feet aren't on the ground, They're
Speaker 1: just flying. And then maybe we got to a point where, um,
Speaker 1: we realized how magical we are. We fly to right.
Speaker 1: We reached limits that other people didn't get. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. We reach different heights, walking different rooms,
Speaker 1: create different narratives for our life and others around us,
Speaker 1: because when we decided to show up and be authentically ourselves,
Speaker 1: we give people the permission to do it. Also, we
Speaker 1: become this light and start reflecting off of each other.
Speaker 1: Then everybody becomes who they are, and we show different shades,
Speaker 1: and we show different colors and different hues. You did
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Are you ready to walk out into
Speaker 1: your ocean? Well, your feet may fail, your dreams are
Speaker 1: waiting on you, Your best life is waiting on you,
Speaker 1: Your joy is waiting on you. You know everything that's
Speaker 1: happening now because you're living it day in and day out.
Speaker 1: You know what it is and what it ain't. But
Speaker 1: until you step out in that ocean, you'll only know
Speaker 1: what it will be or what it could be. What
Speaker 1: do you see? Perhaps that's why a lot of people
Speaker 1: look at the ocean like we're stand back at it
Speaker 1: and it's beauty, but fear getting in there because like
Speaker 1: of a whole sense of death. But what if it
Speaker 1: was like the whole roalms of life. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, I want that for you. I want you
Speaker 1: to step out there and get your life literally, literally
Speaker 1: and figetively. Step out there and get your life, get
Speaker 1: what's yours and what you deserve. You heard. So that's
Speaker 1: what I had to say about oceans. It just touched
Speaker 1: me because I got some friends that are looking to
Speaker 1: to just take their life to the next level, and
Speaker 1: I said, well, you can't have it all figured out
Speaker 1: because even in stepping out that ocean, you don't know
Speaker 1: how those waves are gonna hit. You don't know what
Speaker 1: chill factor, You don't know what the pollution or what
Speaker 1: somebody must have done somewhere else can have an info,
Speaker 1: can have an impact on what's going on in the ocean.
Speaker 1: And then get this, check this out and it's just
Speaker 1: carrying to me. Right you even realize how global warming
Speaker 1: can affect the water. It's kind of like your life
Speaker 1: and everybody that has something to do with it, Like
Speaker 1: everything can affect at some pressure point, but you can't
Speaker 1: control it. But just like they say, my soul will
Speaker 1: rest in your embraced, you gotta arrest in the promise,
Speaker 1: the promise that you spoke over your life. The promise
Speaker 1: that you affirmed, and now you're in a position to
Speaker 1: confirm mm hmm, because even in that ocean deep, your
Speaker 1: faith is gonna stand. Huh. Imagine that Just to thing
Speaker 1: like if your feet weren't at the bottom of the
Speaker 1: ocean and yet you're still standing. Remember what I said
Speaker 1: about the bird, like keep flying mag sore, spread them
Speaker 1: wings and keep going to new heights, and just don't
Speaker 1: be afraid because you're gonna die. And when we die,
Speaker 1: it's done. So until then, swimming your oceans. All right,
Speaker 1: all right, that's it for your Doltsurvitamin D. I hope
