I want to take a moment today to just try to, you know, release the pressure that has been crippling so many of our spirits. And I feel you. You know, some days, yeah, you know, we just. We can feel the beauty. And then some days it's like we can feel the beast. You know, that's actually one of my favorite movies growing up. You know, I love how, I love how back in the day, like, movies and TV shows had, like, messages. I think that's why I'm so positive, y'. All. I was a Disney kid. I was a full house kid. I was a sitcom kid where every show had, you know, a deep meaning, you know, a message at the end of it, you know, to equip us to move forward. And I know a lot of us, man, we've been feeling this pressure. We wake up in the morning and we think about what we have to do, what we got to do to make our life better and get to this other place. And we can see the potential worries and we're simmering in our own anxieties and our own doubts. And let's be honest, it's. It's overwhelming. It's overwhelming sometimes. And sometimes, you know, we just. We just want somebody to come and, you know, make things a little bit easier for ourselves, you know, lift us up, you know, some luck fall into our hands. But it's coming, my friend. What you need, where you want to go. Everything that you desire that is truly in alignment for you can and will be yours. But let's make sure that we are relieving this pressure so we can be present in this position right now. Right? First, we're going to equip ourselves with gratitude. It's like, okay, I'm here. You know, I've made it to this point so far. We have made it to this point so far. Think about the hurdles in the past that you have jumped. And think about the times where you didn't even know if you could take another step, but you did and you got here. Now, maybe we are still a little bit lost, but maybe that is exactly where we are supposed to be. Yeah, because when we are lost, what happens? We start asking more questions. We start, you know, walking down different pathways. We start taking flights to new countries, or maybe we move to a whole new continent. Hey, talking to myself now. But we're releasing the pressure, right? Because there's so much in us that is actually asking for a different energy from us. We need to put love at the center, at the center of what we do. And I know that sounds so cliche and so, like, oh my God, so woo woo. But it's so true. The way some of us look at ourselves, the way some of us talk to ourselves this way. Some of us just be thinking about ourselves. You know, it's so rigid. You know, think about if you plant a seed, how gentle you have to plant that seed. You place it into the soil and then you water it. But what happens if you drench it in water? You ruin the seed. You have to be even gentle with how much water you give it. And sunlight. If there's too much sun, if the conditions are too harsh, it may not grow. So ask yourself, what kind of conditions have you been putting yourself in? They may be too harsh. Yes, you may have been applying effort and the work and doing everything, but the conditions may be too harsh because love is not at the center. Love for yourself, love for what you do, love for life. This is what we do here. In hindsight, we recalibrate our perspective because I believe the way we see something is like 90% of the battle the way we see something. I believe that life is mirroring to us at all times. It's the mirror effect. You know, I remember, I think in 2018 or 2019, I had this thought and I was like, how did human beings see themselves before mirrors? Like, how did they know what they look like? How did they see themselves? I realized I saw themselves in others. Yeah, they could have walked by the river and the way the sunlight was hitting the wata, maybe they get a slight reflection of themselves. But majority of the time they saw themselves in their community and in their environment. They saw their hard work and the home they just built for their family. They saw the love that they had for themselves and others and the faces of others, or if they mistreated others, you know, they were constantly angry and mean and vile. They saw it in their community because the community isolated away from them or reflected that same energy back to them. They're in constant arguments. We saw ourselves in others and we saw ourselves in our environments. It's the mirror effect. So when we wake up every single day, when we are in conversation, when we experience triggers as well, I want you to know one thing, that life wants the best for you. So any kind of discomfort, dysregulation to your nervous system is actually asking you to go deeper into yourself. If somebody cancels on you and you get real triggered, as you should. Word is bond. We should be of our word. If we say we're going to be somewhere, let's be there. I know a lot of us, if someone says, hey, coffee date, 2pm we there at 2pm some of us, we have friends, family, partners, whatever it may be, they just don't reflect that same energy. But let me ask you a question, because I've even experienced this in my own life. Getting upset. This person canceled. Cold canceled, too, like last minute. Done it, like three times. I'm like, why does this keep happening to me? It was actually happening to me so much. So many people just being flaky. And I'm like, man, just disrespect, disrespecting my time. And then I realized I'm like, yeah, like, I. I'm showing up for hadith. I am showing up on time, or, you know, I'm committing to things that I say, but to the things I told myself that I would do for myself. Oh, my God. That's a different story, y'. All. I was canceling on myself a lot. Hey, I'm going to record this on Tuesday at 2:00pm Ah, 2:00pm comes Tuesday, I got something else to do. Move it to the side. Hey, we're going to do this. So life was mirroring the pain to me that I was causing for myself in my own life. And I was like, wow, that's so beautiful. Isn't it? Isn't it beautiful how life will teach you in the most mysterious ways, life will show you exactly who you are in your environment. You'll see it all around you. You'll see it in your community. You'll see it in your partners. Some of us may be feeling like there's been a lack of love, care, and attention in our lives. You're like this person or this friend or that Thing or my boss at work is not valuing me enough. But I bet you anything if you look into your own life and ask yourself how much love, care and affection have you been giving to yourself? Maybe life is mirroring to you the same lack of affection and love that you haven't been giving to yourself. So now for some reason, people are popping up in your life and they're not showing up for you. Because you have already been abandoning yourself, but you've been pointing the fingers at others. Maybe you have been over giving people pleasing. Maybe you've been sacrificing yourself to preserve your relationship with others. And because you haven't put the love at the center for yourself, what happens now? You're experiencing abandonment for others. And that's the beautiful thing about life. Life wants the best for us, right? And when you want the best for somebody, what do you have to do? Sometimes you have to have hard conversations with them. Just because life wants the best for us doesn't mean every single day life's gonna just plop a bunch of money into our hands and make things comfortable. No, life is gonna ask us to get real vulnerable and honest and ask us to center love again. So many of us, we have goals. We have so many goals and that's great. But we can't control life. We can only control how we respond. So I think actually something that we should be focusing on in this season is intention. Our intention. Right? Yes. We want certain things to happen in our life. Or you may want a certain person to love you a certain way. Or you may want your boss to recognize you and give you a certain promotion. Cool. But you can't control any of those things. But you can control your intention. Your intention. And if your intention is rooted in love, care and respect for yourself, in any environment where you are not also receiving love, care and respect, you will remove yourself. Why? Because you love, care and respect yourself. Your boss isn't giving you the promotion. You may go and start your own business. Because now you believe in yourself to go build something better. You're not being loved in a relationship. You're not going to over sacrifice and over give anymore and abandon yourself because you love yourself too much to do that. And once you do, what happens? Now we step into alignment. Now things start to click again. Now love and luck fall into your life because you centered love as your main focus. And we relieve the pressure and we allowed ourselves to discover. To discover ourselves. I believe every single day is a discovery of ourselves. And because we all are interconnected and have a symbiotic relationship with this world and with each other. I truly believe that when we discover ourselves, that we are actually doing something for the planet and for others. You know, I became a more understanding, more graceful person when I developed that same kindness and grace for myself. When I became honest about my own fears and my vulnerabilities, I realized that every single person I look at has fears and vulnerabilities. A deeper understanding of myself caused a ripple effect into the world, and I inspired a lot of people on this planet. But it started with myself. I never really was like, I want to inspire people. I just wanted to be a better man. I just wanted to learn who I am and discover why I am here. That's it. Curiosity and discovery. A little bit of pressure in life is beautiful, of course, because pressure makes diamonds. But some of us have been in survival mode and. And been living in pressure for so, so, so long that I think it's time that we take a moment and we relieve that. And you center love again, and you focus on your intentions. What's your intention for this season? Maybe it's becoming more intimate again with yourself. Maybe it's to become more honest with the people around you and speak up for yourself. Maybe it's to remember that side of you that truly shows up and can remain consistent and is devoted, you know, creating that evidence that, you know, just. Just shapes a mold to your confidence. And then from that, what do you think is going to happen? Beautiful things, right? There's going to be fruit that bears from those intentions. So instead of overly focusing on what you want life to give you and do for you, focus on what you can do for yourself and focus on your intentions and plant those seeds and allow those to grow into beautiful trees, and they will bear beautiful fruits. But it starts with every day reframing how we talk to ourselves, Reframing how we see ourselves. You know, when I, you know, set a schedule and I'm gonna go record some things for the day, and I'll be honest, y', all, yes, I'm very smooth with my recordings, you understand, but there are days where it's just not flowing, it's just not clicking. And on those days, man, I'll be so hard on myself, I'd be like, I'm a failure. And then the pressure just. Man, it becomes so immense. And I realize even your missteps are beautiful. You know, even your stumble is beautiful. Even the things that you regret, you're going to see in hindsight later on that those were some of the most monumental moments of your story, the things that took you and allowed you to pivot in a new direction. But as long as we center love, love for ourselves, love for what we do, what do you think life is going to mirror back to us? Love people who love us, opportunities that are aligned. Our home is going to be a reflection of our spirit, you understand? It's going to be beautiful because we poured into it, so it pours back into us. It all starts with us. Become curious about yourself again and have fun discovering yourself. Center love and then you don't know. In hindsight, I think everything is going to be more than alright. See you next time y'. All.
