Speaker 1: D is all about shedding light on the good and
Speaker 1: the bad. Here we explore the ways in which you
Speaker 1: can live your life on purpose and for a purpose.
Speaker 1: But it's going to cause you to be authentic. It's
Speaker 1: gonna challenge you to be vulnerable. It's going to require
Speaker 1: you to tap into the true you. While sometimes I'll
Speaker 1: go ahead and interview and have great conversations with celebrities
Speaker 1: and people like you and me, and then there are
Speaker 1: times that I'm taking an email back. Yeah, well, listeners
Speaker 1: right in for a device about love, relationships, career, purpose,
Speaker 1: anything that fancies their mind, and I share my thoughts
Speaker 1: on them. Some you may not agree with, but things
Speaker 1: that I call as looking deeper, deeper within to understanding
Speaker 1: that you are the change agent and are the reason
Speaker 1: whether or not you are living your best life. Now,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you now, I've said it before and
Speaker 1: I'll say this again as well. I'm an air race,
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna give it to you all. I hold
Speaker 1: no punches because we don't have time to waste. I
Speaker 1: don't want to come at you inauthentic to have you
Speaker 1: thinking that I'm trying to shield you from truth. Remember
Speaker 1: when we talk about vitamin D, it's shutting the light
Speaker 1: that's on the good and the bad, and it doesn't
Speaker 1: ex permission. So it's time to dive in. So without
Speaker 1: further ado, let's get started and let's get ready for
Speaker 1: your dose or doses a vitamin D. Get your vitaminy
Speaker 1: right with me, and get excited about your lives. All right,
Speaker 1: So we are in the first letter pulled out the
Speaker 1: email bag. I wanna give a special thanks to my producer,
Speaker 1: my assistant, my everything um in in Kurtesy for getting
Speaker 1: all this together. So let's see what he grabbed up.
Speaker 1: So here's the first one, subject help negative spiral. Dear Dawn,
Speaker 1: I sucked in high school, and I thought I achieved
Speaker 1: something by graduating just because my best friends all dropped out.
Speaker 1: Then I dropped out of community college because I didn't
Speaker 1: know what I wanted to do and couldn't find the
Speaker 1: motivation or keep myself from procrastinating, which is a common
Speaker 1: theme in my life now at I worked forty to
Speaker 1: forty four hours a week for Amazon. I'm overweight and
Speaker 1: constantly here, oh you look like you lost weight, which
Speaker 1: is the last thing I want to hear when I
Speaker 1: don't see it, and I still live with my mother.
Speaker 1: Then the only thing in my life I enjoy is
Speaker 1: trying to make funny content online. But I can't stay
Speaker 1: consistent with that because my only quality that anyone cares
Speaker 1: about is that I'm funny. So I'm afraid someone I
Speaker 1: know i'm role life will find them and think it's lame,
Speaker 1: and then I will lose more confidence and won't have
Speaker 1: any more qualities, which means I'd have nothing positive to
Speaker 1: think about myself. How can I get out of this
Speaker 1: negative spiral? Well, first, let me say thank you for
Speaker 1: writing in. I appreciate you being vulnerable. You know it
Speaker 1: takes a lot of guns to um write and as
Speaker 1: your authentic self and then admit are some things that
Speaker 1: you want to work on to get better. But the
Speaker 1: fact that you're stepping forward, let's step into the light.
Speaker 1: You know. The first thing I heard um, because I
Speaker 1: always correlate things with music, which is how Vitamin D
Speaker 1: started out. I heard Biggie in my ear, I told
Speaker 1: the life I live, I went from negative to positive
Speaker 1: as the first thing that came to my mind. And
Speaker 1: I said that because you're almost like the roles that
Speaker 1: grew from the concrete. Heck, so I may even say
Speaker 1: you're that cold that transformed into that diamond. But here's
Speaker 1: the thing. The thing when we talk about the roles
Speaker 1: that you know outgrew its circumstance, is or that diamond
Speaker 1: that actually or that piece of cold that transformed with
Speaker 1: all that pressure and all those cuts, is that they
Speaker 1: decided to step into the light. Have you heard the
Speaker 1: song that's Little Lot of Mine, I'm gonna let it shine? Well,
Speaker 1: how are you gonna shine and get out of this
Speaker 1: negative spiral? When I hear Lauren Hall chiming in, how
Speaker 1: you gonna win when you ain't right within? How can
Speaker 1: I say this? Well, let's look at it. You said
Speaker 1: that you can't find the motivation within yourself and you
Speaker 1: can't stop that from keeping you from being procrastinating, which
Speaker 1: is a common theme. How you do anything is how
Speaker 1: you'll do everything. You said that you're overweight, and the
Speaker 1: last thing you want to hear people saying, oh, you
Speaker 1: look like you lost the weight. Come on now, so
Speaker 1: now you're carrying on access baggage. And when people are
Speaker 1: around you trying to speak life into you, you showed
Speaker 1: in in a way. Now. See, my name is Dawn
Speaker 1: Day and I tell all people all the time I
Speaker 1: speak like heck, I even have life tattooed in my mouth.
Speaker 1: But now I have to charge you that it's time
Speaker 1: for you to speak life over yourself. But this is
Speaker 1: what you have to ask yourself. What do you want
Speaker 1: out of your life? You have to name it and
Speaker 1: to create over your life. And you have to understand
Speaker 1: that this is a decision that only you can make.
Speaker 1: You said, the only thing in my life I enjoy
Speaker 1: is trying to make funny content online. Then do it.
Speaker 1: Then you said, well, it's the only quality that anyone
Speaker 1: cares about. And if they find out you're a lane,
Speaker 1: what does it matter? Why do you care about what
Speaker 1: other people think? When I even told you to quote
Speaker 1: about begging, I chose the life I live. I went
Speaker 1: from negative to positive. It's important that in life everything
Speaker 1: is like a yen and the yang. You can't have
Speaker 1: darkness without light and vice versa. But you have the
Speaker 1: reasoning and you have the ability to choose how you
Speaker 1: want to live. What we know life is nothing but
Speaker 1: an energy source. That's what ignites us. That is that
Speaker 1: little light of mind that I'm gonna let it shine? Well,
Speaker 1: are you going to lead it in a positive direction?
Speaker 1: Are you're gonna lead it into a negative direction? Again,
Speaker 1: that's what you have to choose. And you have to
Speaker 1: ask yourself, what do I want? And it's not thinking
Speaker 1: about what other people are can consider what other people
Speaker 1: are gonna make Because at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: when you have to go to bed at night, when
Speaker 1: you close your eyes, the only one we're signing and
Speaker 1: you is you. So what say you? Because if you
Speaker 1: keep trying to go outside to find fulfillment within, you'll
Speaker 1: see that it's never enough. Remember we're all about giving
Speaker 1: from our overflow. And see when we have things that
Speaker 1: cause us a restraint, that caused us different knots in
Speaker 1: our body and we're trying are constantly trying to fill
Speaker 1: things up. See you in the situation of even wondering
Speaker 1: if someone is gonna think that your laime is inviting
Speaker 1: things to come inside of you and understanding you only
Speaker 1: have capacity for you. So you came on this earth
Speaker 1: not to hoard and to gather emotions and to grab
Speaker 1: the feelings of everyone else. You came to live your
Speaker 1: best life and shine, to be authentic who it is
Speaker 1: that you are. Now you came in and you said, hey,
Speaker 1: my best friends they all dropped out. I decided to
Speaker 1: go to school. Then when I did it, I went
Speaker 1: on to community college and find out I had to
Speaker 1: drop out. Now you find yourself. Fast forward. I'm teen
Speaker 1: years later, you're twenty six, and now you're working forty
Speaker 1: to forty four hours a week. You're overweight, so probably
Speaker 1: you're stressed out. And see even not only your mind
Speaker 1: is stressed out, but now your body is having stressed
Speaker 1: out so much so because of all this tension, this restriction,
Speaker 1: you can't let like come in. How do we see
Speaker 1: this in the letter? Well, you said that people are
Speaker 1: looking at you speaking life and say, oh, wile you
Speaker 1: lost weight. But guess what, because you're holding onto so
Speaker 1: many feelings, so many emotions, you can't allow things to
Speaker 1: be received to you, to be reflected out of you.
Speaker 1: Do you follow what I'm saying. You said that you
Speaker 1: are afraid that you will lose more confidence. Well, it
Speaker 1: sounds like you have to practice on acquiring the confidence.
Speaker 1: It's confidence that resides inside of you. So in order
Speaker 1: to do that, I challenge you to start speaking life
Speaker 1: over yourself. It's time. You're gonna have to look in
Speaker 1: the mirror and encourage yourself. Heck, if you think I'm kidding,
Speaker 1: if you go in the mirror right now, right, look
Speaker 1: at yourself and look at your ear, look at the
Speaker 1: formation of it right as all these coils, these vibrations,
Speaker 1: this energy source that we put out right. And it's
Speaker 1: important that you realize that your ears are like an embryo.
Speaker 1: What you put inside of them, that's where things start
Speaker 1: to grow. But Aha, here's the thing that you must
Speaker 1: remember between those two ears is guess what the most
Speaker 1: powerful mechanism on your body where you only are using
Speaker 1: a fine ninth percent, a very small percentage, It's called
Speaker 1: your brain. So I'm here to say the life that
Speaker 1: you can speak outside of your mouth, the reality that
Speaker 1: you choose to create. And you get up and if
Speaker 1: you want to be somebody, you want to go somewhere.
Speaker 1: You're starting to wake up and pay attention to yourself.
Speaker 1: Speak over it, allow it to manifest and to grow
Speaker 1: in your ears. And I promise you, you'll step in
Speaker 1: the life that you truly deserve. So don't be afraid
Speaker 1: of living your best life. Don't be afraid of loving you,
Speaker 1: and continue to know that if you need support, you
Speaker 1: need help, seek it out and get those resources because
Speaker 1: you deserve that. Remember, it's up to you to choose
Speaker 1: the life that you want to live. Is it gonna
Speaker 1: be negative or positive? All right, let's go on to
Speaker 1: the next letter, subject anxiety is ruining my relationship, Dear Dawn.
Speaker 1: Most of the spats between my partner and I are
Speaker 1: because I don't have a license yet, only a permit,
Speaker 1: but I'm too scared to drive due to my lack
Speaker 1: of experience and confidence. Granted, I'm twenty nine, but I'm
Speaker 1: also from New York. It's not that big of a
Speaker 1: deal here since we moved from Ithaca. Though. I get
Speaker 1: huge amounts of anxiety when I think about having to drive,
Speaker 1: because I feel like I'll mess up or someone will
Speaker 1: hit me, and it terrifies me. I feel like a
Speaker 1: total failure because I don't drive myself around and I'm
Speaker 1: totally dependent on my partner to drive me here and there.
Speaker 1: And I'm sure you can imagine how annoying that must
Speaker 1: be for him. I have a newborn in an eighteen
Speaker 1: month old, and I really need to be able to
Speaker 1: drive them to their appointments and be able to take
Speaker 1: care of my own errands. I'm just so scared to
Speaker 1: just put my babies in the car and start driving.
Speaker 1: How can I overcome this? You can. First of all,
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to make a decision. You're gonna have
Speaker 1: to choose what do you want. You know, there's a
Speaker 1: saying that says, um, how you do anything is definitely
Speaker 1: how you will do everything. And when you step up
Speaker 1: to this play, are you going to strike out and
Speaker 1: swing or maybe a swinging hit. It's up to you,
Speaker 1: you know. On a previous episode, I spoke with a
Speaker 1: young woman and I've been talking about her a lot recently,
Speaker 1: which means she definitely left a great impression. Um Karen
Speaker 1: Righteous Soul Malone, and she had a great analogy that
Speaker 1: I just feel like it applies to me right now
Speaker 1: in my life. And so many things that we may
Speaker 1: look like or say that we fear that causes us
Speaker 1: an anxiety, that causes us a freeze. And she said,
Speaker 1: you can't keep running at some point whatever this thing,
Speaker 1: this relationship, this fear of driving, this fear of love,
Speaker 1: this fear of success. That's the mountain. And at one
Speaker 1: point do you stop heading towards the mountain and turning around?
Speaker 1: And now some people say, oh, I don't want to
Speaker 1: have time to deal with that foolishness. But then you
Speaker 1: have to ask yourself, how are you going to get
Speaker 1: to the other side. And here's the thing that's important
Speaker 1: to realize to As she was talking about this mountain
Speaker 1: and even going up the mountain, she said, sometimes you're
Speaker 1: going to have to pause. A k A. Take your time,
Speaker 1: a k A. Get your bearings, a k A. See
Speaker 1: what's going on, a k A. Free peace, be still.
Speaker 1: See what happens when we're overload with so much anxiety.
Speaker 1: It's all about confusion, it's noise, it's distraction. But just
Speaker 1: like I spoke on the previous letter and we talk
Speaker 1: about finding the light within, it's all within. But if
Speaker 1: you're so busy looking without, you can't get within. So
Speaker 1: take time with yourself. And you have to realize that
Speaker 1: you can't keep running from things. If you keep allowing
Speaker 1: things to run your life, those other things will run
Speaker 1: your life for you. So you can make all the
Speaker 1: excuses that you want and say lack of experience, but hey,
Speaker 1: faith without works is dead. Did you think that it
Speaker 1: was gonna show up and everything was gonna appear with
Speaker 1: that confidence? Oh? So are you going to live your
Speaker 1: life in fear? Because remember, how you do anything is
Speaker 1: how you'll do everything. And you said, right here, you
Speaker 1: have a newborn in an eighteen month old, do you
Speaker 1: want to instill fear on them? You know, I think
Speaker 1: that's one of the powerful things that we can't do
Speaker 1: as a parent, whether that be a bi a biological child,
Speaker 1: or some sort of mentor. And it's to be that
Speaker 1: beacon of strength, that courage that liked to say, I've
Speaker 1: been through this and now I'm on the other side.
Speaker 1: So I want you to get to the idea and
Speaker 1: entertaining the notion of you living your best life, and
Speaker 1: that means believing in yourself. If you can almost change
Speaker 1: believing to be lie to be living, to be in yourself,
Speaker 1: you realize that you are all that you need. So
Speaker 1: you can make up all these excuses about lack of experience,
Speaker 1: But the bottom line is that you're afraid. Are you
Speaker 1: ready to take control of your life? It's time for
Speaker 1: you to get in that driver's seat literally and drive
Speaker 1: your life on the wide of your wildest dreams, because
Speaker 1: at some point you're gonna realize this is going to
Speaker 1: be taxing on your relationship. You know, you actually are
Speaker 1: losing a sense of your freeing because you are allowing
Speaker 1: something to captivate you. How dare you? How dare you
Speaker 1: come on to the Vitamin D podcast and walk in
Speaker 1: the realms of talking about living your best life? And
Speaker 1: here you are locked up in handcuffs and you've swallowed
Speaker 1: the key. Is that an insult to you or me?
Speaker 1: If you think about it any time that we have
Speaker 1: a lack of confidence to self, that's an insult to
Speaker 1: self and everyone that believes in us. I don't know
Speaker 1: about you, but whoever I'm with or who's ever an
Speaker 1: extension of me, I want to entify each other. I
Speaker 1: don't want to have to shun me light. I don't
Speaker 1: want to have any situation when I'm holding you down.
Speaker 1: I just want to reflect abundance. And that's confidence. And
Speaker 1: sometimes that confidence even looks like, Hey, I'm scared, but
Speaker 1: I'm open. So how can you get over this? About
Speaker 1: how can you overcome this? Girl? Put yourself in that
Speaker 1: car and put the pedal to the metal. Buckle up,
Speaker 1: take it slow, but don't stop the ride, because who
Speaker 1: knows this very ride, and I mean a pun intended
Speaker 1: could be the very way of you to live your
Speaker 1: best life. You better look fear in the face and
Speaker 1: say you ain't got nothing on me? All right? Next
Speaker 1: letter subject feeling a little lost. Dear don So, I'm
Speaker 1: thirty two, decent job, live in a small town in
Speaker 1: the Midwest. I have a good amount of savings, a
Speaker 1: relationship that could be healthier. She thinks I don't emote enough,
Speaker 1: and I think I do it just fine. But I
Speaker 1: feel comfortable and things are good. Sometimes, really, I feel
Speaker 1: like I've devolved into working barely maintaining social contacts and
Speaker 1: watching shows in my free time. Could be the pandemic.
Speaker 1: But also feel like this could last longer. I feel
Speaker 1: unfulfilled and alone. How do I start living? I can
Speaker 1: see how you feel lost, because it sounds like you
Speaker 1: don't know if you're coming a going what do I mean? Okay, Well,
Speaker 1: you say you feel comfortable and things are good, but
Speaker 1: then going down to only a few sentences later you say,
Speaker 1: but then you're feel unfit fulfilled? You know, he said,
Speaker 1: you're alone, but you have some in the house that's
Speaker 1: calling out for you. You said, I feel comfortable and
Speaker 1: things are good, but for who. I'm not saying that
Speaker 1: everything is horrible. But I'm looking in this letter and
Speaker 1: it's saying, Hey, everything is decent. It's a small town,
Speaker 1: it's average. Where is the spark, Where is the spectacular
Speaker 1: nous of it? Your girlfriend is there? You have someone
Speaker 1: around you who is actually pushing you and wants you
Speaker 1: to be your very best just by simply communication. But
Speaker 1: I can see because if you're feeling a little lost,
Speaker 1: I see how the communication between yourself may be distorted.
Speaker 1: So if that's distorted, how can you communicate with her?
Speaker 1: It seems as though that as she's trying to call
Speaker 1: out to you, you can't even hear or see her.
Speaker 1: But there's a song I thought about and dr reset it.
Speaker 1: She said this. Hope it doesn't cause the thing to smile.
Speaker 1: You don't have to pay the laugh, and you better
Speaker 1: thank God for that. It's time for you to look,
Speaker 1: listen and just take inventory of everything around you. And
Speaker 1: and you don't have to tell me, but tell yourself
Speaker 1: what do you see? And be honest. I said it
Speaker 1: before I said again, and I'm gonna tell you right now,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say it later. On Vitamin D is all
Speaker 1: about shutting the light. So I don't want you to
Speaker 1: take this view and look around and how you're saying, Oh,
Speaker 1: everything's all good and I am comfortable. No, because you
Speaker 1: feel unfulfilled. You said to feel lonely. So tell me
Speaker 1: what do you see? What do you truly see? And
Speaker 1: I can see that it's not about you just only
Speaker 1: seeing things that are bad, because you say that you
Speaker 1: are in a relationship and you can see the fact
Speaker 1: that somebody is yearning out for you. So you see,
Speaker 1: although this is not necessarily in a totally good situation,
Speaker 1: you have someone who is still choosing to show up
Speaker 1: and to be there, but they're waiting for you to
Speaker 1: show up because if you aren't communicating with them, they
Speaker 1: can't even help you for what it needs. And understanding
Speaker 1: you're in this relationship or a partnership, right, there's a
Speaker 1: requirement on both ends. And think it first starts out
Speaker 1: with communication because one needs to know what they're signing
Speaker 1: up to be in. So when you talk about this
Speaker 1: whole thing of not feeling fulfilled, then you have to
Speaker 1: really answer this question, are you truly comfortable? And are
Speaker 1: you truly good? Because if we don't get to that,
Speaker 1: there's nothing for us to build upon, because the foundation
Speaker 1: is shaking. And see, that's what happens when we're inconsistent
Speaker 1: with our truth. But if we have grace to realize
Speaker 1: that the only way to see truth is to sit
Speaker 1: with self to see truth. Hence, I I is not
Speaker 1: only to represent who myself. I is what I see outside.
Speaker 1: So what am I seeing with self? What are you
Speaker 1: seeing with yourself? Here's the thing. It's one thing to
Speaker 1: stand on unleveled concrete and know it. It's another to
Speaker 1: run and fall. You dig what I'm saying. See that's
Speaker 1: kind of like if you look at it. That's what
Speaker 1: fear does. Remember, Fear is the false evidence appearing real.
Speaker 1: Fear is the illusion. Fear is the mindset that there
Speaker 1: is something that actually is not there, but you are
Speaker 1: constructing it to be there. So and sometimes this fear
Speaker 1: is of manipulation with self. We're not honest with self.
Speaker 1: So what happens is is that we're creating this false reality.
Speaker 1: We're creating something that is not true that we are
Speaker 1: exuding as if this is life and then we allow
Speaker 1: it to control ourselves. So in this moment of you saying, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm good, Oh I'm comfortable, now, you've created this false
Speaker 1: reality box so much so you so good? Your girl
Speaker 1: is trying to talk to you and tell you what
Speaker 1: you need, and you can't hear her. Hence it has
Speaker 1: a ripple effect on you. Hence why you're in the
Speaker 1: house and you're feeling lonely. It goes back to what
Speaker 1: I've been saying all the time, how you gonna win
Speaker 1: when you ain't right within? Come again? But guess what,
Speaker 1: despite what you're going through, And I say that to
Speaker 1: every person, no matter how raw and and rugged it is,
Speaker 1: when you decided to show up for yourself, you've given
Speaker 1: yourself grace to say that there's hope, there's a reason
Speaker 1: for change. Remember a car doesn't start until the engine
Speaker 1: is ignited. Right, You have to put your key, you
Speaker 1: have to press the button, you have to push something
Speaker 1: to igniting. Just like a match, you have to strike it.
Speaker 1: It's time for you to strike in on your line,
Speaker 1: strike in so you can illuminate that life. How about that?
Speaker 1: I like that one better like your match. Allow your
Speaker 1: life to shine. But that's gonna require you to come
Speaker 1: into truth, because it's only the truth that you can see.
Speaker 1: Remember that if you want to operate and fear, it's
Speaker 1: the dark. But when we talk about vitamin dy and
Speaker 1: living your best life, it's all about seeking out the truth.
Speaker 1: And the truth of the matter is is that you're
Speaker 1: not comfortable and things aren't as good as you are
Speaker 1: trying to make them seem. How I'm only going to
Speaker 1: answer with your good statement. I feel unfulfilled and alone.
Speaker 1: So I want you to make the decision to seek
Speaker 1: yourself for who you are and then have the courage
Speaker 1: to step out of it and show up for the
Speaker 1: people that love you. Okay, because if you're feeling alone
Speaker 1: and she's telling you I can't communicate, imagine how she feels.
Speaker 1: Thank you for loving on you, Thank you for being vulnerable.
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to the next one subject. Don't
Speaker 1: really want to meet my biological dad. Can't tell my
Speaker 1: sister tanged on. I'm a twenty year old woman living
Speaker 1: in Omaha. My mom left my biological father when I
Speaker 1: was two and she was twenty five. She has been
Speaker 1: with my stepdad now for about seventeen years. My biological
Speaker 1: dad had many kids with different women, so many that
Speaker 1: we don't know how many siblings there are. I have
Speaker 1: an older half sister about twenty nine, and an older
Speaker 1: half brother about thirty two thirty three. There's also two
Speaker 1: younger siblings who are a couple of months apart. I know.
Speaker 1: Two years ago I got to meet my oldest sister
Speaker 1: for the first time, along with her daughter. We got
Speaker 1: along well. It was a bit strange knowing that we
Speaker 1: were sisters but never had met before, especially since my
Speaker 1: mom helped raise her and our older brother for about
Speaker 1: five years until she left our biological dad. I met
Speaker 1: my younger siblings briefly two years ago. The brother wasn't
Speaker 1: too interested, but me and my younger sister got along great. Now,
Speaker 1: after all this time, my biological dad wants to come
Speaker 1: back into my life, and I don't know how I
Speaker 1: really feel about it. He messaged us all on Facebook
Speaker 1: looking to set up some sort of meeting or something,
Speaker 1: and I just don't know if I can do it.
Speaker 1: The worst part is that my sister is open to it,
Speaker 1: and I kind of feel like it will hurt our
Speaker 1: relationship if I tell her. I don't want to talk
Speaker 1: to him. Any advice on what I should do. I
Speaker 1: will say this before I say anything. Follow your truth.
Speaker 1: No one can tell you how you should feel in
Speaker 1: your relationship with your father, your sister, or yourself. But
Speaker 1: here's what I would say. These are the questions I
Speaker 1: would ask myself. Why are you upset with your father?
Speaker 1: Why don't you want to meet him? I have to
Speaker 1: ask that because this has intency restraint. It's tension. You
Speaker 1: hear what I'm saying, and we talk about stress, we
Speaker 1: talk about anxiety. When we talk a lot of a
Speaker 1: lot about elements, you realize it's tension. And that's why
Speaker 1: when people say relax and just be, it's only because
Speaker 1: you can breathe. There's a lot of tension because this
Speaker 1: is restricting you from doing something that could be natural.
Speaker 1: It's forcing you to pivot whether than to walk freely,
Speaker 1: and no one is here to judge. You know. Like
Speaker 1: I said before, you need to make sure that you
Speaker 1: are living the life that you want to live. But
Speaker 1: my only question, or my only exclamation, my point is
Speaker 1: ensure that you are allowing yourself to be free. So
Speaker 1: this is what I was saying. One, if anything, be
Speaker 1: free enough to speak your truth. And that means even
Speaker 1: to your sister about not wanting to be around your dad.
Speaker 1: So remember when I send up previous letter. How you
Speaker 1: do anything is how you do everything. And one of
Speaker 1: the things that we have to realize and establish in
Speaker 1: a relationship is all about communication. You know what that
Speaker 1: feels like to be left out of communication. Let me
Speaker 1: go back. You just said and and it was. It
Speaker 1: was the way it was written that I can tell
Speaker 1: that there was probably an awkward moment. You said that
Speaker 1: you had just met one of your sisters and your
Speaker 1: mom had helped raised her, but you just met her.
Speaker 1: I can imagine that some type of strength. And you
Speaker 1: see how that broke down in that communication affected you.
Speaker 1: You see how that broke down communication of how you
Speaker 1: don't know all of your siblings, all these people who
Speaker 1: are an extension of you. There's no source of communication.
Speaker 1: But you've got to start that with yourself. Okay, Number two,
Speaker 1: go see your dad and see who this man is
Speaker 1: that puts that bad taste in your mouth? Why did
Speaker 1: I say bad says? You did not say anything bad
Speaker 1: about your dad or speak anything negative. But what you
Speaker 1: said was is that you didn't want to see him.
Speaker 1: He is an extension of you, not see Remember I
Speaker 1: talked about, and I said, there was a breakdown and
Speaker 1: communication as you can see, of not knowing your dad,
Speaker 1: not realizing that your mom raised a sister whom you
Speaker 1: just met only a few years ago, and you are
Speaker 1: in your twenties. Now your dad is stepping up trying
Speaker 1: to do communication. Now. We are not responsible for the
Speaker 1: things that happened to us as a child, but as
Speaker 1: an adult, we are responsible for the repair and the
Speaker 1: healing that we do for ourselves. So what say you,
Speaker 1: what's going on? Are you at least ready to communicate
Speaker 1: with yourself? Because there is some healing that needs to
Speaker 1: be done, and you need to figure out why this mountain,
Speaker 1: the same mountain that I spoke about before, it's in
Speaker 1: front of you and it makes you want to turn around.
Speaker 1: It's time for you to get on the other side
Speaker 1: of that. It's time for you to see what life
Speaker 1: looks like on the other side of the unknown, the
Speaker 1: unknown of the other pieces that make you who you are,
Speaker 1: the unknown that makes your bloodline, perhaps even the unknown
Speaker 1: of not knowing why you don't want to know your father.
Speaker 1: And it's okay, but remember, we fear what we do
Speaker 1: not see. We fear what we do not know. Rest
Speaker 1: assure when you have truth, you will see the light.
Speaker 1: Maybe there's an understanding, or maybe there's a reason why
Speaker 1: you do what you do, why certain things are attracting
Speaker 1: your life. Why didn't you like to see? Sure, the
Speaker 1: light might be brighten, you might put some sunglasses on. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you might have to put some some block on, but
Speaker 1: at least you can see the way. And when you
Speaker 1: talk about vitamin D, once again, we're talking about living
Speaker 1: your best life. And I want that for you. And
Speaker 1: that's why I'm so passionate intense about it, because there
Speaker 1: are many times in life but we can choose to
Speaker 1: go on the other side. But when are you going
Speaker 1: to choose to show up and allowing your truth to echo?
Speaker 1: Because now you're being authentic And just like there's this
Speaker 1: book because called the Four Agreements. It's about being impeccable
Speaker 1: with your word. Well, how can you be impeccable with
Speaker 1: your word if you don't even know the word it
Speaker 1: is that you're saying? What are you saying? More importantly,
Speaker 1: what do you want? If anything? Would I hear beyond
Speaker 1: the notion of why you don't want to see your
Speaker 1: father right now? Why are you afraid to speak your truth.
Speaker 1: Why are you afraid to live in your truth? Your
Speaker 1: truth is what grounds you, Your truth is what nourishes you.
Speaker 1: Your truth is what sustains you. So no matter where
Speaker 1: the wind blows, how the rainfall pours, you can still stand,
Speaker 1: You can still grow, You still have the ability to change,
Speaker 1: and you still have the ability to bear fruit, whether
Speaker 1: it be with how whether it be with creation. But
Speaker 1: it's the fact that you're exuding, exhibiting life. I want
Speaker 1: you to live, speak your truth, get the confidence to
Speaker 1: yourself and say that to your sister. She may have
Speaker 1: a word, and maybe this whole breakdown and communication that
Speaker 1: seems to have been the foundation of your life can
Speaker 1: may change change for the better good. So, if there's
Speaker 1: anything advice that I would say for you to do,
Speaker 1: figure out what's stopping you, whether it be from communicating
Speaker 1: with your sister, either communicating with yourself, or figuring why
Speaker 1: you don't want to have this communication with your dad. Okay,
Speaker 1: thank you, all right, let's go to the next one subject.
Speaker 1: How do I get back on track? Dear Don, that's background.
Speaker 1: I'm thirty two and I feel like in the past
Speaker 1: five years I lost all of my ability to try
Speaker 1: to better myself. It's hard enough going to work every
Speaker 1: day and I feel like at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: I just want to relax and do something low impact,
Speaker 1: like playing video games or smoking weed. At the end
Speaker 1: of the day, I genuinely feel like I have no energy.
Speaker 1: But I hate what I'm becoming. I feel like a
Speaker 1: waste of space. What makes it worse is that I'm
Speaker 1: dating someone really special. They do dance, they're amazing cook
Speaker 1: and they draw super well. I feel like I add
Speaker 1: nothing to the relationship, even though she reassures me constantly.
Speaker 1: I really want to get really good at something to
Speaker 1: impress her, but I don't feel like I have the
Speaker 1: energy or financial ability to pick up a new hobby. Anyway,
Speaker 1: I hope you're doing well. Any answers or advice are appreciated.
Speaker 1: Thank you for writing in. You know, I read the
Speaker 1: US and it's admirable how you were able to step
Speaker 1: in your truth and be authentically honest with yourself. So
Speaker 1: I wonder are you depressed? And I don't say that
Speaker 1: trying to be funny. I'm just saying that literally because
Speaker 1: you sound like you're mustering everything up just to function.
Speaker 1: And whether it's diagnosed with being depressed. Have you went
Speaker 1: to go talk to somebody, have you? You said, you
Speaker 1: genuinely do not have any energy now, just like if
Speaker 1: we're not feeling well, might cough, might have a fever,
Speaker 1: you're going for a check up. But because you said
Speaker 1: you can't even muster up the energy and and and
Speaker 1: truly engaging in low vibrational activities, whether that be playing
Speaker 1: video games and smoking weed, you said you feel like
Speaker 1: you're waste of space. That's like you're saying a chair
Speaker 1: has more purpose in a space than you do. Now,
Speaker 1: you say you're dating so much special, we'll show up
Speaker 1: for them you're talking to. Are finding ways to impress
Speaker 1: somebody else? You would the way you impress somebody else
Speaker 1: as you show up being your authentic and best self,
Speaker 1: show up as the person that they fell in love with.
Speaker 1: You owe that to them, and you owe that to
Speaker 1: yourself because you have to be good for yourself to
Speaker 1: give to others. That's what I've said before. Remember when
Speaker 1: we are exuding our life, we are pouring from overflow.
Speaker 1: A light doesn't need another light to shine. A light
Speaker 1: just shines no matter the darkness. You know, I coined
Speaker 1: myself many years ago as the life Bank account expert.
Speaker 1: Hence that's why I have the notion of saying that
Speaker 1: you are your greatest asset. And it's because people need
Speaker 1: to realize what's the most valuable thing in their life,
Speaker 1: well itself, and we realize that we're not perfect. That
Speaker 1: means we're not riding or walking or running in a
Speaker 1: straight line all the time. It's a juggle. Sometimes you're
Speaker 1: gonna be depositing so much. Sometimes you're gonna withdraw things.
Speaker 1: But the only time and when it's a negative effect,
Speaker 1: if it's one extreme to the out there, because just
Speaker 1: like any day, it's not sunshine two seven, the sun
Speaker 1: does not stay in the same spine. Heck, you as
Speaker 1: a person ages that means things must move on, things
Speaker 1: must grow, And as talking about what it means to balance,
Speaker 1: you gotta realize is that that balance is sometimes it
Speaker 1: bounce back. Well, if you're so used to being in
Speaker 1: the back, how you're gonna bounce from that. Sometimes getting
Speaker 1: the support we need is seeking out the extra support
Speaker 1: and help and understanding that we don't have it all.
Speaker 1: And that's probably why you're in a relationship thinking about it.
Speaker 1: You're in a relationship because you want somebody to further
Speaker 1: enhance who you are. So if you're gonna go see
Speaker 1: a doctor to further enhance how your health is me
Speaker 1: if you are literally feeling drained to the bone where
Speaker 1: you are crawling out of bed, something needs to be assessed.
Speaker 1: And because you love yourself and I know you do,
Speaker 1: I don't care what you say you don't like feeling
Speaker 1: the way you did, because if that were the case,
Speaker 1: you gonna be right in me. But because you feel
Speaker 1: that way for yourself, it's time for you to show
Speaker 1: up for yourself and it's time for you to love
Speaker 1: on yourself. So getting back on track is all about
Speaker 1: tuning in. I mean, think about it. Back in the
Speaker 1: day before we actually could push your button to go
Speaker 1: to a certain radio dot, you have to tune in.
Speaker 1: Technology is new, but win. So I'm challenging you to
Speaker 1: tune in and whither you have to go see somebody
Speaker 1: to help you get your adjustments together, to make sure
Speaker 1: your antentas are lined up appropriately so that you can
Speaker 1: receive who you are, do what you gotta do better yourself.
Speaker 1: Because you've got somebody special, somebody that has art that
Speaker 1: wants to bring life into love on you, and you
Speaker 1: want to give you know, they say love is not
Speaker 1: all about what you can take, It's all about what
Speaker 1: you can give, and you don't want to constantly be
Speaker 1: on the receiving end. You say, she's amazing cook, she
Speaker 1: can draw, you know, she makes you feel good, She
Speaker 1: constantly builds up your confidence, and then you have nothing
Speaker 1: to give on her. So then what happens that that
Speaker 1: breaks down? We're we're pairing now, So get back on
Speaker 1: track by tuning in and like Lauren Hill, she said it,
Speaker 1: how you gonna win when you ain't right with the
Speaker 1: come again? All right? Going on to the next letter subject,
Speaker 1: getting out of a field. I hate Hi thirty five
Speaker 1: year old listener here from the US but studying abroad
Speaker 1: in the UK. I'm currently in my third year of
Speaker 1: graduate school studying engineering, and I absolutely hate it. But
Speaker 1: I put a lot of time into it, and after
Speaker 1: an unsuccessful stint as a government contractor, I'm not really
Speaker 1: keen on the private sector. My issue is the work
Speaker 1: is interesting, but everyone I've met in the field is boring.
Speaker 1: Are just not that great a person. I never considered
Speaker 1: whether liking people I worked with would matter so much,
Speaker 1: but the idea of being around these folks for the
Speaker 1: rest of my life makes me once up, You should
Speaker 1: I just quit and join the Peace Corps. Be not
Speaker 1: that drastic, but make a plan to move forward. Yes, absolutely,
Speaker 1: move forward. Move forward with your environment, Move forward with yourself.
Speaker 1: You said that your work is interesting, so do it
Speaker 1: for the work and create a different environment for your soul.
Speaker 1: Don't let anyone to displace you. So that's the sense.
Speaker 1: When you know self and you're walk into your authority,
Speaker 1: you realize the control you have on your life, how
Speaker 1: you're able to build the life that you want. But
Speaker 1: once you get in a situation when you allow fear
Speaker 1: or something outside of you, remember outside of you dictate
Speaker 1: what you're doing, that's when I think there's a problem.
Speaker 1: So allowing a certain person or persons displace you and
Speaker 1: nobody got time for that. It's time for you to
Speaker 1: live your best life, live your wildest dreams. Rihanna said it,
Speaker 1: live your life. Oh, don't really go out there and
Speaker 1: live and if it's not out there, go somewhere else
Speaker 1: and find it. It's not like you're decrepit. And this
Speaker 1: is the last resort for you. Know, you still got
Speaker 1: breath in your lungs and you're willing and enable. So
Speaker 1: if it's not this, going to something else. Not if
Speaker 1: you have a situation where you're feeling like, oh um,
Speaker 1: this field is no longer suiting for me. Engineering is
Speaker 1: what I don't want to be a part, and then
Speaker 1: step out of it. But don't just step out of
Speaker 1: it for the people, say true to yourself. Okay, all right,
Speaker 1: all right? Next letter subject midlife crisis. Oh gosh, dear Dawn,
Speaker 1: I'm forty six, and I'm having a bit of a
Speaker 1: midlife crisis. I love drawing. When I was younger, I
Speaker 1: picked it up as my major in community college. I
Speaker 1: was in one of my art classes when my teacher
Speaker 1: was talking about our motivation and whether or not we
Speaker 1: truly wanted to pursue a career in illustration. That's got
Speaker 1: me thinking whether or not I truly want to make
Speaker 1: it my career. Ultimately, I decided to No. I'm a
Speaker 1: simple guy. It doesn't take much to make me happy.
Speaker 1: I draw the things I want to whenever I want
Speaker 1: and feel good about it, even if it does have
Speaker 1: a lot of issues. Since I was a kid, I
Speaker 1: never liked the idea of people telling me when and
Speaker 1: how it should make something and what it's expected to
Speaker 1: me to be done. I work on my own time
Speaker 1: and I have my own motivations. I start landscaping business
Speaker 1: with some money I got through an inheritance, and since
Speaker 1: then I built up a comfortable life. But now I'm
Speaker 1: looking at the opportunity to retire early, and I'm wondering
Speaker 1: what should I do with my spare time. Should I
Speaker 1: go back to school and take up illustration. I feel
Speaker 1: like I get a lot of satisfaction from making a
Speaker 1: yard look presentable and having my employees do the same,
Speaker 1: But now as I look forward, I wonder I should
Speaker 1: go back to my old love. I'm sure you're wondering
Speaker 1: what the issue is. My wife doesn't want me to
Speaker 1: sit up in the house, so I have to build
Speaker 1: a studio on top of going to school. It starts
Speaker 1: to get pricing. I'm in a good spot, but I'm
Speaker 1: wondering if following my heart will endanger that. I could
Speaker 1: wait and say, but then what if the passion passes
Speaker 1: and I end up regretting it? What are your thoughts?
Speaker 1: You got money, right, you can retire early, Right, you're
Speaker 1: about to invest in your dreams and stop playing with me.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it was just a stubbornness or
Speaker 1: whatever the reason why you chose to you lose your love,
Speaker 1: But when it comes back, you'll know, and it came
Speaker 1: back to you. That's how you know it's real. It's
Speaker 1: not a foolish thing. You said that you're so comfortable.
Speaker 1: If you're so comfortable, why are you concerned about money?
Speaker 1: Not in a situation of what you're gonna enjoy, Not
Speaker 1: in a situation where you're gonna get lost in yourself.
Speaker 1: Not in a situation where otherwise you would need other
Speaker 1: means to escape that would cost money. But hence you
Speaker 1: can just draw with the gift of your own hand.
Speaker 1: You say you can. You're comfortable, but are you really comfortable?
Speaker 1: I've built up a comfortable life, have you, Because comfortability
Speaker 1: means doing what makes us happy. And also you realize
Speaker 1: that even when people who are happy and saying they're comfortable,
Speaker 1: it's truly allowing them to be comfortable being uncomfortable. Seeing
Speaker 1: what's gonna make your truly uncomfortable nous is going to
Speaker 1: be stepping out and taking a chance. Well, here's the thing.
Speaker 1: You said something about should I go back to my
Speaker 1: old love? Well, what is love? Love is about taking
Speaker 1: down your inhibitions. It's about being vulnerable, it's about being authentic,
Speaker 1: It's about being scared. Love is about taking a chance.
Speaker 1: Are you open enough to take a chance on you? See?
Speaker 1: Love can breathe life into you? And then I also
Speaker 1: cannot to win out of you. You can't wait to live.
Speaker 1: You have to live now. You have to go back
Speaker 1: to what identified as you because love and you is good.
Speaker 1: It may not be easy, but it's good. And if
Speaker 1: it's something that you enjoy, what you have all this
Speaker 1: free time, why wouldn't take a chance on it. You
Speaker 1: took a chance on taking your family in here intense
Speaker 1: and making this a landscaping business. You're telling me that
Speaker 1: now you've got a chance on something that you could see,
Speaker 1: something that you love, something that you have declared to
Speaker 1: beat your first love. You don't want to take a
Speaker 1: chance on love. Who doesn't want to take a chance
Speaker 1: on feeling good? I don't know about you. Understand that
Speaker 1: life has its tribulations, but I'm here because I want
Speaker 1: to feel good on purpose? And for what purpose? You
Speaker 1: gotta follow your dreams. Get off this funk that did
Speaker 1: it hit the fan? Get on your feet because it's
Speaker 1: time to stand. Come on dance and get with man.
Speaker 1: You got me acting out on here, but no, really
Speaker 1: go out there and do your drawing and take a
Speaker 1: chance on it. The worst thing didn't happen if you
Speaker 1: have to take a minute to slow down or as
Speaker 1: Karen alone would say, a k a righteous So just
Speaker 1: take a pause on it. Here's the thing we get
Speaker 1: so caught up and trying to plan and saying things
Speaker 1: have to be perfect and how that has to work out.
Speaker 1: Just operating the motion. The wind doesn't get permission to
Speaker 1: blow and who what's gonna blow over? It's up to
Speaker 1: that person not to get knocked down. So don't get
Speaker 1: knocked down. And if you get knocked down, get up.
Speaker 1: Let's Brown said it. If you can look up, you
Speaker 1: can get up. Hard times don't last always, but good
Speaker 1: people do. And good people are good because they are
Speaker 1: good fulfilling love. They love on themselves and they love
Speaker 1: each other. So go ahead on love on yourself and
Speaker 1: take a chance on yourself. You deserve that. Dreams are
Speaker 1: living inside if you let them breathes, you are Okay.
Speaker 1: That's it, onto the next. Here's to the last letter subject, Girl,
Speaker 1: what do I do? So I'm twenty eight, I live
Speaker 1: in Georgia. I'm thankful for where I am in life,
Speaker 1: but I'm damn near miserable. I just lost my boyfriend
Speaker 1: because he wanted to move to Cameroon. I'll say I'm
Speaker 1: thankful that I had parents to push me to finish college,
Speaker 1: and I'm thankful that I was able to land a
Speaker 1: decent entry level job out of college. But I have
Speaker 1: absolutely no passion for what I'm doing, and it's making
Speaker 1: me depressed. I work in accounting, and while I'm good
Speaker 1: with numbers and organizing, it just burns a hole in
Speaker 1: my skull with how boring it is is. It's obvious
Speaker 1: a lot of my peers at my job who do
Speaker 1: the same thing I do, have more passion for it,
Speaker 1: and they perform much better. I constantly live in a
Speaker 1: state of anxiety and stress because I don't feel like
Speaker 1: I'm doing my job well, and I have trouble motivating
Speaker 1: myself to do better because I simply hate what I do.
Speaker 1: I truly believe I was meant for more than a
Speaker 1: boring nine I've been at my current job for five
Speaker 1: years and just feel like I need to start over.
Speaker 1: It's just tough because I've had all this experience in
Speaker 1: this field that I hate. I feel like for me
Speaker 1: to advance in my life, my next step would be
Speaker 1: to find a better pain job in my film. But
Speaker 1: I can't imagine doing this for the rest of my life.
Speaker 1: How do I begin the process of creating the life
Speaker 1: I will enjoy? You better way? The S O S
Speaker 1: flag because you better check yourself before you wreck yourself.
Speaker 1: Here's the thing. It's one thing to walk in a
Speaker 1: situation and not know what's on the other side of
Speaker 1: the door. But then it takes a fool to know
Speaker 1: what's on the other side of the door and still
Speaker 1: choose to walk through the door knowing that they don't
Speaker 1: want what's on the other side. You hear it biblically,
Speaker 1: write the vision and make your plane. Hey, you ask
Speaker 1: Meek Mill. He said, if you wanted, you got to
Speaker 1: see it with a clear eyed view. Girl, what do
Speaker 1: you want? Mm hmm? What do you want? Now? You
Speaker 1: may not have all the answers right now, but I
Speaker 1: think it's probably gonna be some time that you need
Speaker 1: to start brainstorming right out the desires of your heart. Okay,
Speaker 1: you're in a beautiful moment right now. There's a lot
Speaker 1: of things transitioning, you have nothing holding you back. And
Speaker 1: sometimes when we are in this state, we're rising, you know,
Speaker 1: because we're allowing ourselves to go to the next level.
Speaker 1: And what you gotta realize is that on this ascension,
Speaker 1: you know, this rising arrival of upwards, there's a lot
Speaker 1: of wind. You're more susceptible to get knocked over, for
Speaker 1: things to sway you because now you're expanding, you're opposing gravity.
Speaker 1: But see, here's the thing, like I've been saying, staying
Speaker 1: true itself and what it is that you want. You
Speaker 1: can't go wrong if everything is operating in the greater
Speaker 1: good for you because you believe that, because you actually
Speaker 1: see better for yourself, you actually see that you want more.
Speaker 1: You can see what it is that you don't want.
Speaker 1: You know what it's like to be in a state
Speaker 1: of not happiness, a state of anxiety, a state of stress,
Speaker 1: a state of knowing that you are meant for more.
Speaker 1: Why wouldn't you do it? Girl? How are you gonna
Speaker 1: live with no passion? Passion is the fire inside you? Well,
Speaker 1: if we want to take it back, remember this little
Speaker 1: light of mind, I'm going to let it shine. Are
Speaker 1: you gonna let your life shine? Are you gonna let
Speaker 1: your life sign so that you can see the truth
Speaker 1: and the way? Are you gonna let your life shine
Speaker 1: so that you can live your best life? Are you
Speaker 1: gonna let your life shine so that your vitamin D
Speaker 1: levels are up the bar? Are you ready to live? Period? Period?
Speaker 1: Why are you choosing? Or why would one choose to
Speaker 1: sit there to drink poison and die? You don't even
Speaker 1: enjoy the teas like for me, the way is something
Speaker 1: that I've always battled and understanding the relationship with food
Speaker 1: and how I want to exchange with it right, understanding
Speaker 1: with my truth. Okay, I can say this, oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: I want to lose weight about the bus open that
Speaker 1: cheeseburger and fries or the chips or peanut eminem's, Oh
Speaker 1: my god, whish'all love? But understanding it's the taste that
Speaker 1: it may not awesome me be good. But you don't
Speaker 1: even like the way this smells. You don't like the
Speaker 1: way it looks, you don't like the way it sounds.
Speaker 1: But yet you choose to walk in the door because
Speaker 1: you said, Oh, if I'm gonna think about expanding my career,
Speaker 1: I think about getting a higher page job, a higher
Speaker 1: level of misery. What you're gonna sit in the fire
Speaker 1: and then turn up the temperature. Come on? And I
Speaker 1: say it like that because I want that for you.
Speaker 1: I want the best for you. And this ain't it Now.
Speaker 1: It's going to require you to take some time and
Speaker 1: like I said, right the is you to make it plain.
Speaker 1: But you gotta spend some time with yourself and figure
Speaker 1: out what you don't want. But here's the beauty of it.
Speaker 1: Walk in the gratitude of knowing the blank chemists and
Speaker 1: which you can write out the life that you want.
Speaker 1: How beautiful is that? It may be scary because you
Speaker 1: have this full blank page, but it's a pain page
Speaker 1: that you can add all your colors, all your stripes,
Speaker 1: all your stickers, all the things that imagine. It's to you.
Speaker 1: There's nothing holding you back. Are you gonna choose to
Speaker 1: spread your wings and sore and go to new heights?
Speaker 1: I'm telling you the wind will shake you well if
Speaker 1: you are firm and who you are in your truth,
Speaker 1: that wind to get underneath your wings and your sore.
Speaker 1: You feel me? Are you ready to sore? Write it down,
Speaker 1: write the vision and make it plain. If you wanted
Speaker 1: you got to see it with a clear eye of view.
Speaker 1: It's time for you to see it. It's time for
Speaker 1: you to be it. It's time to you to breathe it.
Speaker 1: So you begin that process was simply um having a
Speaker 1: conversation with yourself and really being real about what enjoys you,
Speaker 1: what excites you. Get out there and try some new stuff,
Speaker 1: try some new things. If you have to even start
Speaker 1: out by minimizing your hours, because I'm sure you just
Speaker 1: may not want to jump out there. And if you do,
Speaker 1: that's fine. I did it a couple of times, and
Speaker 1: I've been okay because I followed Dawn's truth. And as
Speaker 1: long as you follow the truth, that means you're following
Speaker 1: the light. And that's the way you did Okay. So girl,
Speaker 1: that's what I think you need to do. Girl, I
Speaker 1: think you need to look at this opportunity. It's like, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm popping. I have so many opportunities. I don't have
Speaker 1: any bag. It's holding me back except for myself. You
Speaker 1: finished college, you can finish this next feed of your life.
