  Hey, hey, Soul tribe, welcome back.
• 0:04
  And if you're new here, welcome. Thank you for joining.
• 0:09
  And I just wanted to share a message today because I've been
• 0:14
  going through some things the past couple weeks, past few
• 0:19
  months actually that I don't know if I even have the words to
• 0:24
  describe what I've experienced. But it has been at a level of
• 0:34
  it's been more of a spiritual deep internal soul connecting
• 0:45
  type of experiences that I've had.
• 0:48
  And I don't words, I don't think words can can really describe
• 0:55
  what I have experienced. But while I was experiencing all
• 1:04
  of this, I also chose to work on some projects And I, I finalized
• 1:14
  all the projects, they're all done.
• 1:17
  I've worked on a few journals, they're all finalized and they
• 1:21
  are all available on Amazon if you're interested.
• 1:24
  These are 90 day journals. Any journals that I, I put out,
• 1:28
  I try to make them at least like 3 monthers.
• 1:32
  But I was working on these projects and I was having all
• 1:38
  these deep dives spiritually. And one thing that happened to
• 1:42
  me that like, I, I don't know that I even know the words to
• 1:51
  describe the level of depth that I've been to it.
• 1:59
  It just, it's just something that you would have to
• 2:04
  experience to really understand what I'm talking about.
• 2:09
  And I do believe that there are some people out here in the
• 2:11
  collective that have experienced this already.
• 2:18
  And then for those that haven't, I'm sure that at some point, if
• 2:24
  you keep digging deeper within yourself and getting to that,
• 2:31
  that, that full authentic version of you and trying to tap
• 2:34
  into your higher self and dig deeper on a spiritual soul
• 2:41
  level, then eventually you will, you'll, you'll experience what
• 2:49
  I'm talking about if you haven't already done so.
• 2:52
  But, you know, it just made me think about like, thinking that
• 2:58
  I was more than halfway to who I really am authentically, who I
• 3:07
  was born as. And then over the years, people
• 3:11
  in society have like, changed me or me conforming into what
• 3:17
  people or society say I should be.
• 3:23
  And it just made me think about like, are we who we really are?
• 3:31
  Like are you who you were born to be or are you living to just
• 3:42
  exist? Like you're doing the typical
• 3:45
  nine to five, You're doing things the way that people say
• 3:49
  that humans should live, but are you happy?
• 3:56
  And are you who you're supposed to be?
• 4:01
  Are you who you really are? A lot of times, you know, we get
• 4:08
  influenced by other people, by the society and we start living
• 4:14
  life in this way that it's more for the opinions of others.
• 4:20
  You know how many people like you, how many social media likes
• 4:25
  and and views you get? It's we start living this this
• 4:30
  materialistic, self absorbed world rather than living as the
• 4:40
  person we were born to live as. We all have a higher purpose.
• 4:44
  We tend to allow the influences from the outside to take over
• 4:51
  and determine who we're supposed to be.
• 4:54
  We allow ego to drive us rather than love and our soul to drive
• 5:03
  us. Some people get so caught up in
• 5:08
  wanting to be popular, wanting to be seen and wanting everybody
• 5:14
  to just pay attention to them that they, they lose themselves
• 5:21
  into that comfort of, you know, look at me, everybody loves me.
• 5:28
  Everybody likes what I post, everybody likes what I have to
• 5:31
  say, but they're not really. They're not really like who they
• 5:37
  were born to be. They're just who they think
• 5:40
  people want to see and who they think people believe that they
• 5:45
  are. They're in this.
• 5:48
  It's almost like they're in this mindset of living for other
• 5:54
  people rather than a place of living for themselves and living
• 6:04
  with love. I don't know, it just started
• 6:08
  making me think like are we living for ourselves and not
• 6:18
  from a place of love 'cause there's some cold hearted people
• 6:22
  out here in this world. And it's almost like people are
• 6:28
  oblivious to others and everything just the world just
• 6:34
  revolves around them and they start living this very selfish,
• 6:39
  selfish, self absorbed lifestyle because it makes them feel good
• 6:46
  with no concern about the people around them.
• 6:51
  And it just, I don't know, it just made me start thinking
• 6:53
  like, who are are you? Like who are you?
• 6:58
  We are all spiritual beings living as human beings.
• 7:05
  And with that, because we're in this physical vessel, we have
• 7:15
  choices. We have choices to love one
• 7:22
  another, to care for one another, to protect one another,
• 7:26
  to help one another or be out for ourselves and get whatever
• 7:37
  we can get while we're here on this earth with no concern of
• 7:42
  the others that are around us. I do feel like a lot of people
• 7:46
  get lost in the way that society has made them feel.
• 7:54
  And some people don't know how to dive deep within themselves
• 7:59
  and internally to get to that place of who they really are.
• 8:10
  And it does take a lot of time. It takes a lot of practice to to
• 8:14
  find yourself in that place, but eventually you will get there
• 8:18
  and when you have that internal self discovery, it is a feeling
• 8:26
  of bliss. Honestly, you just, I feel like
• 8:33
  you open so many doors when you truly get to who you really are,
• 8:39
  your authentic born self, and not allow the judgement of other
• 8:47
  people, the opinions of other people dictate how you live life
• 8:55
  and not allow the influences, the greed of the world to make
• 9:06
  you start living in a way that is not coming from a place of
• 9:09
  love. We are all born with light that
• 9:15
  is already within us. And as I said earlier, over the
• 9:19
  years, there's circumstances, there are people that we
• 9:23
  interact with or encounter and they from these young ages for
• 9:31
  us at these young ages are, are shushed or told not to say or
• 9:39
  behave, behave a certain way by parents, some someone in
• 9:45
  authority position. And then that in turn changes us
• 9:51
  from that part of authenticity that we revealed it.
• 9:56
  Sometimes it frightens people, it makes people uncomfortable.
• 9:59
  And when people are uncomfortable, they don't think
• 10:03
  you should behave or speak a certain way.
• 10:06
  And I'm not saying we should be out here living life just being
• 10:11
  terrible to folks and and, and disrespectful or rude.
• 10:15
  I'm saying just because some things make people uncomfortable
• 10:21
  doesn't mean that you should not reveal those things if they're
• 10:28
  not harming yourself or anyone else.
• 10:32
  There are parts of us that if people can't understand it, they
• 10:39
  don't see it as a way that a person should be.
• 10:43
  But keep in mind, we're all spiritual beings living in human
• 10:48
  bodies. We all have a higher self.
• 10:51
  Not everyone has discovered their higher self.
• 10:53
  Not everyone knows how to get to their higher self.
• 10:56
  And that's why you have to stop literally trying to change the
• 11:00
  world and the people around you and start with yourself.
• 11:05
  The only way to make changes to start within.
• 11:09
  We have a lot of power within us that we have suppressed or we
• 11:16
  chose not to reveal it because it made people uncomfortable.
• 11:21
  There's a lot of power within us.
• 11:24
  There's a lot of light within us.
• 11:27
  Some of our lights have been dimmed.
• 11:28
  Some of our power has been. People have tried to take it
• 11:32
  away because it made it on, made them uncomfortable and we have
• 11:38
  to go back and, and, and bring that to the surface.
• 11:43
  Bring that power, brighten that light.
• 11:48
  I have a self help guide that I created that actually walks you
• 11:54
  through processes and practices to help you reflect inward on
• 12:03
  situations or experiences that you're going through so that you
• 12:08
  can change your perspective and it'll gradually get you through
• 12:13
  the process. Nothing can happen overnight.
• 12:17
  Everything takes time, it takes practice and consistency.
• 12:23
  But with this guide that I created, it is on Amazon, just
• 12:29
  like the daily journals and I'll have all the links in the
• 12:31
  description box below. But the guide is called Thriving
• 12:35
  through Through Chaos, a guide to finding strength in life
• 12:39
  storms. And this guide I've, I've worked
• 12:44
  through the steps myself. And then that is how I came up
• 12:48
  with the guide because I wanted to be able to explain how to
• 12:52
  maneuver through the experiences we have.
• 12:57
  And it was hard to really like explain it in words.
• 13:01
  So once I was able to like walk through, walk myself through the
• 13:05
  steps whenever I was facing something, then I was able to
• 13:10
  write down in my journal the processes that I took.
• 13:14
  And then I was able to translate that into a self help guide.
• 13:19
  And I do think that if anyone is struggling with how to maneuver
• 13:23
  through the processes to deal with experiences that they're
• 13:28
  going through, this guy will be very beneficial helping you get
• 13:32
  there. But you know, we, we tend to not
• 13:37
  know how to discover like who we actually are authentically
• 13:48
  because for years that part of us have been suppressed, people
• 13:53
  didn't like it and made people uncomfortable.
• 13:55
  And the moment that we decide to stop allowing society and others
• 14:01
  to tell us who we are, that is the moment that everything
• 14:07
  shifts for you. You stop concerning yourself
• 14:11
  with other people's opinions and start pursuing the happiness
• 14:17
  that you deserve. Try to find things that bring
• 14:23
  joy, make you feel good. If there was some hobbies that
• 14:26
  you used to do and you no longer do it for whatever reason, try
• 14:29
  to get back to those things or find new hobbies.
• 14:33
  Try some things out, see if you like it.
• 14:36
  You know, we live in a society where we are taught how humans
• 14:41
  should live. And I'm not saying that
• 14:48
  everything that we've been taught is wrong.
• 14:50
  That's not what I'm saying. But what I'm saying is, are you
• 14:55
  happy with who they, society or whoever say you are?
• 15:02
  Are you the version of you that has purpose and you're not just
• 15:08
  living to exist? Are you who you want to be?
• 15:16
  Are you your authentic self? Or are you living the way that
• 15:23
  society or people say we should be?
• 15:27
  And I'm talking in your personal life.
• 15:29
  I'm talking in your professional life.
• 15:32
  A lot of times we avoid being ourselves because we don't want
• 15:36
  to be portrayed a certain way or be tagged with a certain
• 15:39
  stereotype. So we try to live in the
• 15:42
  guidelines that they think we should live by, even though we
• 15:47
  know that we're not speaking up when we need to speak up on
• 15:50
  something. We're not acting when we need to
• 15:52
  act on something. We're just allowing things to be
• 15:56
  because we don't want to, to go against the grain.
• 16:00
  We don't want to like make waves.
• 16:03
  I used to sit quiet and let things be, not speak up on
• 16:07
  something knowing that someone's presenting some information
• 16:11
  that's incorrectly. I used to sit quiet, think to
• 16:14
  myself, well, that's not that's not accurate.
• 16:16
  That's not, you know, that's not right.
• 16:19
  But I was scared to speak up because I didn't want to be that
• 16:23
  person. I didn't want to be labeled a
• 16:26
  certain way. I didn't want to be stereotyped,
• 16:29
  portrayed in any way, and I didn't want the opinions of
• 16:33
  other people in that that setting.
• 16:34
  So I just stayed quiet, knowing the information I was hearing or
• 16:40
  seeing was wrong. But I was fearful and I didn't
• 16:45
  speak up. But over the years, I've
• 16:49
  experienced some things that have challenged me in a way and
• 16:53
  forced me to speak on those things that I used to be quiet
• 16:58
  about. I used to pick and choose what I
• 17:01
  would and wouldn't speak on. Now I just speak on it.
• 17:05
  If it, if there's something that needs to be said, I'm probably
• 17:08
  the person in the room that's going to say it.
• 17:09
  I'm going to be honest with you. I'm, I am that person.
• 17:13
  If someone doesn't beat me to it, I will be the person that
• 17:16
  raises my hand and and speaks on it.
• 17:19
  Because what I won't do is sit around and allow people to be
• 17:23
  fed lies or information that's not correct.
• 17:31
  So I I have gotten to that place where I do feel that I am my
• 17:41
  authentic self. And it took several years for me
• 17:45
  to get to this place, which I think is why I've been
• 17:48
  experiencing some, some spiritual things these past few
• 17:55
  months to provide a little more clarity on this journey that
• 18:04
  I've been on. And I, I'll definitely say that
• 18:07
  I have received the clarity that I was seeking and I have a
• 18:12
  better understanding of life. I have a better understanding of
• 18:21
  our existence, but I don't think that there is enough of us that
• 18:29
  see that and understand that and know that we're all out here.
• 18:37
  We just don't know who we are until we dig in deep internally.
• 18:45
  Do some soul searching as they say, but reflect inward and try
• 18:53
  to tap into your spiritual being, your higher self.
• 19:02
  Our energy has purpose. We are not here to play small,
• 19:10
  we are here to rise above fear, protect what matters, and create
• 19:14
  something powerful from within. Even if the ground feels
• 19:19
  unstable, just know that the clarity is anchoring you.
• 19:27
  Let the fire in your spirit meet the vision in your heart.
