If you found the podcast through any social media, I appreciate you for checking it out. Those old and new know that we've been not older new. Those of you who have been around for a minute, know that we've been doing this for a while. Took a little break, personal shit, just rebalancing things, getting things back into perspective. But I figured that it's now is a good time to come and check in and see how you're doing, what you got going on, as well as give you a little update on where I'm at in life. And I've been doing my best to do my daily best because it's been it's been a hell of a ride. I was talking to Grace and she was asking me, Yes, this week's topic is sort of what keeps you going? And I'm trying to think of like, this's no easy way to answer it, right I could I could sit here and say like, oh, yeah, it's just it's my family, it's my kids, it's it's my wife, it's the presence of God in my life. It's knowing people depend on me, it's but I really think that it's deeper than all of those things. I think that I've been placed on earth to do something great right and great. In my mind, great does not mean monetarily or superhero and then that shit. It's just like, great is how can I contribute to other people's lives while being true to myself. My greatness is being transparent and being authentic, and I think I am somewhat. I know you want to be looking to care. I'm about to cush you, but I have to I have to think when I speak, or it's not going to sound right, so give me. I think that a lot of us, when it comes to being around other people, we are concerned about what they think, and so we act in the way that we think they want us to act. And then it's almost like you become this other person. Right. So it's sort of like, oh, you're supposed to be the perfect husband, you're supposed to be the perfect dad, You're supposed to be the hard worker. And sometimes I may drink too much, sometimes I may cuss too much. Sometimes I'm a fuck up, and this is all part of who I am. I don't think that it takes away from the good parts of me. It is just part of who I am, and I'm The challenge for myself now is to really just embrace all parts of myself, because if I don't, then it's sort of like I'm living fake and if I'm not, and if I'm living fake, I'm not being true to myself. And if I can't be true to myself, how can I be true to anybody else, whether it be my kids, my wife, or you guys listening. It's easy to snap a picture online when you have a certain surrounding and when you have certain people in your presence and make it looks as if everything's good. You know you've got it going on. You must be doing well for yourself based on that snapshot. But sometimes I don't think we take the time to consider what's sort of going on behind the scenes when it comes to those pictures, or what a person that's gone through in order to reach that part. To be in this space that I'm in right now, even though it's a small room and it's a studio that I've put together that I've always dreamed of. I'm talking at least two decades I had no space. I had the living room table, or the living room floor. That's where all the podcasts that you heard when I was doing the Public Access TV show that was basically in our living room. Also, we just moved a dining room table and put two stools against the wall. And we've always made the best of our resources and just did the best that we could do, because at the end of the day, it's just allowing you to hear other people's stories as well as here my story and use it as big to hopefully get you to do whatever it is you want to do. I don't know what it is you want to do, but if it's something that is in the field of creativity or if it's something in the field of wellness, that you can look at the content that we've created and draw from that and draw from that energy. I think one of the most enlightening moments that I've had in life is embracing the pain of losing loved ones and instead of trying to run from that pain, like really allowed myself to wake up in the morning crying, go to bed crying. I'll be walking down the street and I'll just start to cry. I'll be angry sometimes and I don't want anybody to tell me to stop crying. Don't tell me don't be angry, because you don't feel the hurt that I feel. And it was important for me to feel those feelings so that I can now appreciate the happiness and the joy that I feel. Um that I have these angels that I can talk to it. Anytime when I feel stuck or I feel like I need some help, I can. I can call on my angels and they and they guide me, and they had to go to where they needed to go to so that they can look over me. And then my own selfish way, I may say, oh, man, I don't even want that to happen, but that was that's that's part of the plan. And I think that in dealing with that, that has helped me to become a better person and step in my grace and my greatness. I'm not telling you how to live your life. I'm just sharing with you my journey and where I am. I will continue to do my best to be authentic. Sometimes you may tune in. You may like it. Sometimes you may tune and you might not like it. Some time it will be funny. Sometimes you may feel a little sad. But one thing you'll always get is you'll get the true time. There is no there is no in the middle right, that's where we're at.
