0:15
Let's make it happen. And once again, my legendary folks out there that are
0:19

0:32
And I just add a little bit of spice afterwards and then just want people that
0:37
once you done listen to my podcast or at least any of my episodes,
0:41
especially in this episode, I want people to come out and be like, ah.
0:46
I got this empowerment.
0:48
Yes. And I like to bring a little bit because today we got like a little pep
0:53
talk and once in a while I'll do the little pep talk thing because you know what?
0:58
Yes, I try to inspire people because I feel that once you inspire people,
1:02
you could pay it forward and inspire those who actually need it.
1:06
But I'm actually trying to like help us out here in a time where there's a lot
1:10
of too much negativity energy out there in the world, in this beautiful country of the United States.
1:16
We need that little positive energy. We need that little something to remind
1:21
us that we're here and we're making it happen.
1:23
And all we have is each other.
1:26
Hit up that like because that's always going to help me
1:29
wherever you go to whatever platform i'm on
1:32
apple spotify youtube i'm part
1:35
of an independent little network called tgoose tv that the information will
1:40
be in the descriptions hey reach out to us out there as well we definitely going
1:46
to make it happen and comment if you want to say something you know that helps
1:50
again And, you know, for those people out there,
1:53
I love the support that people show me.
1:57
But I want to now be on that side, that if we want to be surrounded by more
2:01
positive things, more positive podcasts, or at least podcasts where people think
2:05
on their own and don't have these puppet strings behind them telling them what to do,
2:10
what to say, and then telling us that we should be doing this. I'm just saying.
2:14
That's why it's always good to hit the like, comment, share,
2:17
tell your family, tell everybody.
2:19
I'm all over the world. We make it happen. And today we have an interesting
2:23
podcast because we got that little pep talk.
2:27
And it's crazy how this past week I participated in my sister-in-arms there.
2:33
She got the little podcast going on. Check out Nisey's Real Talk on Filter.
2:38
That's N-I-E-C-Y. Little thing there.
2:43
And then that's Real Talk on Filter. I'll put the links in the description.
2:46
And I'll be doing another podcast in regards to Miss Witchy,
2:51
which is another podcaster.
2:53
You got to get her information as well. We'll be talking wrestling.
2:55
We'll be talking perfect. is interesting.
2:57
And it's interesting because.
3:01
This weekend, I'll be participating in that podcast, and I want people to hear
3:05
me out because we'll be celebrating for those people out there, Mr. Perfect.
3:10
He was a former wrestler who passed away at a young age, and Mr. Perfect's character.
3:16
And I want people to sit down because I'm going to take you to what this episode
3:20
is going or what I'll be talking about.
3:22
And Mr. Perfect, well, basically, that name is self-explanatory.
3:27
Everything that this individual, his name is Kurt Henning.
3:30
That was his real name mr perfect everything that
3:33
he did or he tried to do was perfect right
3:36
and i go back to this past weekend participating
3:39
with uh dc on her podcast first foray into
3:43
her podcast and i mean she put in the word absolutely hey god bless her soul
3:48
high five if you're listening let's get it but this this right now what i'm
3:54
gonna tell these stories it's gonna resonate to all of us because there are
3:57
times that we wake up and we just don't know or we tend to.
4:02
Trying to look for some type of motivation trying to look for some type of inspiration sometimes,
4:07
our bodies just wake up physically mentally we're
4:10
not there emotionally we're not there spiritually we're not
4:12
there sometimes we don't even know what the hell is wrong but we
4:16
just know that there's something bothering us and sometimes
4:19
you know i i allude to the uh mr perfect
4:22
how mr perfect for what he
4:25
was doing in the ring great wrestler he
4:29
was mr perfect i'll tell you one of the great wrestlers but
4:32
have you not been in a situation where we keep doing
4:35
things to a perfection that we
4:38
kind of say okay what's the reward right now my
4:41
understanding is that mr perfect never was the award title for the wwe and i'm
4:46
just throwing a little wrestling but have we not excuse me have we not been
4:51
in that situation but sometimes we tend to like trying to have this perfect
4:56
day trying to do this and again this you know perfection is whatever it is.
5:01
Sometimes perfection doesn't have to mean that you're perfect 100%.
5:04
As Vince Lombardi said that, hey, listen, I'm not here to be perfect.
5:08
I'm here to fight to pursue perfection.
5:12
You understand how that works? It's a thing of being perfect versus that pursuit
5:19
of perfection, because now you got to hustle.
5:22
And sometimes we hustle, sometimes we wake up, sometimes we say to ourself okay
5:26
what is going on but then i say to myself is this.
5:30
Instead of looking for these motivational, and hey, listen, by all means,
5:34
get onto that YouTube, get onto the Pop Beam app.
5:38
You subscribe to my channel, by all means, wake up in the morning and say,
5:41
I need a little bit of a deconstructing topic. What are you talking about today?
5:46
I need that little, ooh, like, you know, like, treat me like whatever it is
5:50
that's going to make you feel good. Whatever. Let's go.
5:54
I embrace that. But they just said, we just wake up and we just say, you know what?
6:00
Today's that day where I embrace nothing and
6:03
sometimes yeah people's gonna be like wait a
6:06
minute are you contradicting yourself I thought
6:09
you was all about inspiration I am but why sometimes we put so much and overthink
6:14
so much and we try so much to do that little perfect thing whatever it is in
6:20
our lives whether it's at work you know in the podcast realm and whatever it
6:26
is your vocational, whatever it is,
6:28
we put so much energy, so much energy in.
6:32
We try to stay positive that sometimes I say, you know what? You got the energy.
6:37
You just don't know where to put it. I say to myself, you know what?
6:40
You wake up in the morning, you know what?
6:42
I'm grateful that I'm waking up in the morning. I'm grateful to be alive,
6:46
but why not just say, you know what?
6:48
I'm not going to embrace anything today and the
6:50
lesson behind that would be is that
6:53
you know what whatever comes today I'm up for it because sometimes we wake up
7:00
with like worries you know we wake up with so many things on our mind we be
7:05
like okay what's gonna happen at work what's gonna happen in life my family, my pet,
7:12
all this good stuff, my projects, my podcast,
7:15
my work, my studies.
7:18
We're gonna go nuts when we overthink and we put so much.
7:24
And then when life and, you know, we have, you know, an amen to this.
7:28
Have we not seen situations where we wake up and I don't know where we kind
7:33
of thinking of something in life and, you know, we kind of expecting something
7:37
or something to that effect.
7:39
And life throws it with a curveball and you'll be like, for those people out
7:42
there that are not into the baseball ball, curveball would be something unexpected.
7:49
And that's why sometimes once in a while, you know, just wake up.
7:54
Just get up. I always tell people, hey, listen, you don't need to wake up to
7:58
be like, oh, I need motivation. You're just waking up in itself.
8:02
That in itself is enough motivation.
8:06
It's enough for you to start the day with that discipline. But you see,
8:10
that's the physical aspect of it. The emotional aspect of it.
8:14
Hey, just not embrace anything. Just go along with the day.
8:19
And when something happens is when you embrace it.
8:23
And what we do is that there are days that we want to
8:25
welcome days ain't listen give me what you got give
8:28
me your best shot let's go and we need that we don't have to be waking up trying
8:35
to be perfect or at least that perfection sometimes we don't need that i mean
8:40
that's great again there is a story that sometimes that pursuit of perfection
8:44
it's it's takes a toll but that's where the work is at.
8:48
They always, that's always that old saying, hey, listen, you put in more work
8:53
to get on top than versus when you're on top. That's always a thing.
8:57
It applies in just about everything that we do in life, whether we work with these companies,
9:03
where out of nowhere you were the third, fourth best, whatever company making
9:08
potato chips, I'm just saying, and out of nowhere, you're number one,
9:11
now you're number one, now you're slacking off.
9:13
Ah, this potato It don't taste the same. But I'm just saying, you get the jish.
9:20
Sometimes we just don't have to embrace something in order to get us moving.
9:27
Sometimes I can understand why people shut their minds off, whatever it is that's going on.
9:32
Because, hey, listen, I'm not saying I'm shutting myself completely,
9:35
which is a little bit hard to do to try to shut that mind.
9:39
Because, you know, for me, a person like me who works in an office,
9:44
you know, that regular nine to five job, do the gym in the morning and try to
9:47
do something and then try to get the content. in my mind.
9:50
It's like, it's always somewhere, somewhere.
9:56
But sometimes I, even myself, even today I woke up, you know what? I woke up early.
10:02
I took the train. I got to the city early.
10:06
I took a little walk, went to the supermarket, took my time,
10:11
went to the gym, had a decent workout.
10:14
And all I was saying is that, you know what? I would just embrace in every second
10:19
I pass, even if nothing, even if, let's say, I'm not going to say nothing because
10:24
I don't want people to say, oh, what are we not doing nothing?
10:27
No, no, no. What I'm saying is this, let it flow.
10:31
As the great Bruce Lee said, you like water, my friend.
10:35
You know, you put water in a teacup and it becomes a teacup. You know what I mean?
10:41
Trying to sound like him for a little bit. But if I did a good job,
10:45
holla at the kid. That means that's three likes.
10:48
But it is true. Flow like water. Just let it breathe.
10:52
Just grab whatever it is that you pour in water into a teacup,
10:58
pour in water into just a cup, pour in water into your water bottle.
11:02
Look at that water flowing.
11:05
If you're making coffee, cafecito in the morning, look at that water flow.
11:11
That's all. The water is going with wherever you go. Wherever you pour the water
11:16
is where it's going to go.
11:17
Water ain't be like, hey, listen, you know, put me over here. I want to be over here.
11:22
You know what I'm saying? The elements of water ain't talking to you because
11:25
you have control of that. Just be water.
11:27
Just go with the flow. Just go wherever the day takes you.
11:31
Once again Sometimes we don't have to wake up Embracing something We want to
11:36
be grateful Indeed we want to You know put that little positive energy Out there
11:42
In the world absolutely I'm with you.
11:47
Take a deep breath Let's take a deep breath Close your eyes if you have to And
11:52
if you're going to close your eyes Make sure that your eyes is closed somewhere,
11:55
But you're not going to hurt yourself You're not going to injure We need you
11:58
Just like I need you Just like you need me We compliment each other.
12:02
Deconstructing Topic Podcast and this beautiful, legendary audience that's listened
12:07
to this beautiful episode. Just close your eyes.
12:11
And just, I am water and I am going to flow and I'm just going to take today
12:17
and just embrace whatever comes. If nothing comes, fine.
12:22
If you didn't find a dollar, if you find a dollar, that's much.
12:25
But I'm just saying, if you find a dollar in the ground, fine.
12:28
And what I'm trying to say is that if you're dealing with financial situation
12:31
and if nothing comes up where, let's say, you're trying to apply for a credit
12:36
card, you're trying to do this.
12:37
And then, you know, if nothing manufactured today, that's fine.
12:41
If you're looking for a new job, whatever it is that you're doing,
12:44
and you went to an interview and you want to do a follow-up,
12:47
but today you say to yourself, you know what, let's see if they really like me, they'll call me.
12:52
If you feel like you don't have to do that follow-up, you should do a follow-up
12:56
interview, an interview.
12:58
But if today's one of those days, that's fine.
13:01
If today you wanted to talk to somebody, but you'd be like, you know what,
13:05
make it that you're going to talk to that person tomorrow. But today is that
13:09
day that, you know what, if you don't do anything or nothing happens today, that's fine.
13:16
Because sometimes we need that little mental, little break once in a while.
13:21
And when I say mental break, it's just do not overthink of many things.
13:25
But anyways, this is the Deconstructed Topic Podcast. Much love to my audience,
