  Speaker 1: Your enrich Self Podcast. I am your host, mii Ley Noir.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: I am an emotional wellness and empowerment coach, and all
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: that means is that I am here for you. I've
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: created this space that You're in rich Self podcast as
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: a safe place for us to have conversation each and
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: every week about becoming more of your enriched self. And
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: becoming more of your enrich self starts with mindset. How
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: do you see yourself right? What are you thinking about?
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: How are you spending your words? Because your words are
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: your assets. Words help you step into who you're becoming.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Your words help you step into who you are becoming.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: So I want to know what words are you using
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: about yourself to describe yourself, to explain yourself, to introduce
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: yourself to others. Words have power, and I want you
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: to understand that when you align with the words that
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: you use, you start to live and become more of that.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: And so that's what we're going to talk about on
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: this week's podcast. If you are new here, welcome, thank
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: you for being here. I know you were brought here
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: on purpose for a purpose. And if you are a
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: repeat listener. I want to thank you because we've had
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: over two hundred and thirty episodes of the Urine Ritel

  Speaker 1: podcast and it's all because of you showing up and
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: every week participating sharing the podcast with friends and family.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Now, if
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: you know you know, one of the things I do
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: each and every week on the podcast is I make
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: a deposit into the bank of you, and I do
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: that by way of affirmations. Affirmations are a great way
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: to start your day and to command your morning. And
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: this week's affirmation is every morning is the opportunity for greatness.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Every morning is the opportunity for greatness. Every morning is
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: the opportunity for greatness. Now let's get ready for this
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: week's episode of the Your Enriched Self podcast. So life
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: is full of trials and tests, peaks and valleys, ups
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: and downs. But who are you when you are in
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: the middle of your valley? Who are you when you
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: are in the middle of your trial? Who are you
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: when you are in a season where there's some struggle,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: there's some tension, there's some push and pull that's happening
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: in your life. I mean, that's just the way it
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: is right. There is a address in the Bible, it's in
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Ecclesiastics that says, there's a season for everything in life,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: your joys, you're paying, your ups, your downs, your highs,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: your lows, death, life, happiness, sadness. There's a season for
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: everything in life. And a lot of times when we
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: go through these seasons, you birth a version of yourself
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: coming forward to go back and help your person, the
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: version of you that was maybe three weeks ago. Understand
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: the story and understand the growth, and understand the pattern.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: And I was in conversation with a friend this past
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: weekend and something interesting happened. We were in just general conversation,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: and they were going through a season of Valley right,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: and they were kind of speaking death over their life.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: And I've talked about that here on this podcast. I'm
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: a very spiritual person. I take words very seriously. I
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: do like to have fun, but I do understand the
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: implications of words. There's a podcast several years back when
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: I talked about this project that my daughter's sixth grade
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: teacher did. She had a male science teacher, which is
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: rare to have male, black male science teachers, and so
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: she had this male science teacher that did this amazing
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: experiment about words and the power of words, and at
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: the time I wasn't I was starting to get on
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: this journey of understanding the power of words and and
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: word curses essentially. I know it sounds kind of scary
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: to some people, but the things we say can curse
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: a person. I hope you know that our words are
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: that powerful. And uh So, anyway, it's called this w
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Rice Project. You can check out one of the episodes
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: just search that you're in retail podcast Rice Project and
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: and you can find it online as well. But basically,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: they did this experiment where they had three sets of
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: rice and they would speak to the rice positively with one,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: you know, set in a jar, and then they would
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: speak negatively to another set of rice in a jar,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: and then the rice, uh another set would be ignored completely.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: And it was so interesting the outcome of what they
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: found over a course of I think they did ran
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: the experiment for about three weeks three weeks to a month,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: and as you can imagine, the rice that was spoken
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: positively had when they opened the jar, the rice was
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: still white and it was looked like what they had
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: put in the jar. The rice that was spoken to
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: negatively was black mole. It had really just taken on
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: all of the negativity that was brought to it. You know,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: they would yell at it. They would you know, say
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: bad things to it, you know, some of the things
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: that middle schoolers say to each other, which is not
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: always very nice. But they would say to this jar
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: of rice. And the results were what they put into
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: it they got out of it. But what surprised me
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: most was the rice that no one talk to. And
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: that rice on the surface was white like the rice
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: that they spoke to positively. But when you opened the
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: jar and you start pouring it out, underneath that layer
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: that was covered with the plain white rice was black mold.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: And it goes to show what happens in this world
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: when we ignore things. Right, we're just it looks like
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: one thing at the surface, but underneath it's decaying, it's rotting.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: And the things that we put negative in, we get
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: negative out. We put positive in, we put positive out.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: And I think that's an important lesson and I was
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: so right on time for my middle schooler. You have
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: to imagine a middle schooler who is going through all
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: the puberty, all the friendship ups and downs, and all
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: the things that they think life has come into an
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: end because a friendship ended, or because they weren't invited
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: to a party. It was so much. But it's a
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: great conversation to have as a family to understand the
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: implications of the words that we use. And so I
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: say all of that because recently, this past weekend, I
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: was having a conversation with a friend and they started
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: speaking negatively about their own life. Now here's the thing
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: about people speaking negatively about you. When people speak negatively
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: about you, the words you hear the loudest in life
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: are the words that you utter about yourself. The things
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: you start to believe about yourself are the things that
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: you repeat, and the things that are on play and
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: on replay or on downloads back into your mind, back
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: into your spirit. And so although the words that people
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: speak over our lives have negative impacts, I just talked
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: about that with the Rights Project, and we've seen that
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: in life. I mean, you've seen kids that were talked
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: to or someone poured life into them, someone spoke good
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: things about them, someone had great expectations about them. And
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: then you saw the kids where that the opposite happened. Right,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: people were speaking negatively, you're just a bad kid, You're
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: just like your so and so, you're not going to
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: be anything. These words do have an impact, but the
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: words that are most important are the words that you
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: speak about yourself. Because no matter who leaves you in
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: your life, no matter what journey you're on, no matter
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: how far you go into the world of worlds, into
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: your new space, you don't leave you. You are going
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: to be with you no matter where you go. And
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: so your words are going to always have power, especially
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: in your own life. And so that's why it's important
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: to speak life into your life. And I realize sometimes
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: it's hard to do that because your circumstances, the current
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: circumstances you're sitting in, you're living in, you're experiencing in
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: real time, not last week, not last year, not ten
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: years ago. Right now. Your account don't look right right now,
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: your friendship circles are tainted. Right now, you're struggling to
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: find a job. Right now, you're having a hard time
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: trying to lose weight or gain weight or whatever. Right now,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: you're dealing with some real life physical, emotional, social, financial
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: challenges in the current moment, and so it's very difficult
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: for positive words to come out of your mouth. And
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: in this conversation with my friend, I heard them speak
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: those words, and I stopped them because that's one thing
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: I'm always going to do. And this person took a
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: bit of an offense, right because they're like, yeah, you're
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: just saying that. What do you want me to say?
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: You want me to make it like nothing's happening. You
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: wanted me to make it like you know, I'm not
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: experiencing this in real time, Like what would you have
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: me to say? And this person really got defensive, and
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: I gave grace. I gave grace because I realize that
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: everybody is on their life journey on different pathways, and
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: so there was a time that if I had heard that,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: I would have received it the exact same way. So
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: I put myself in their shoes. I put myself in
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: their shoes, and I try not to reciprocate that back
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: because I'm not gonna argue with you for your limitations.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna spend time helping you defend your you know,
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: the way you think about yourself. I'm always going to
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: course correct you to say things differently, to think about
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: yourself differently, to approach life differently. I'm never gonna allow
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: you just to you know, pooh pooh on yourself and
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: not say anything. I'm always gonna be the friend, the
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: person that's gonna let's take an audible, let's take a pause,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: let's check on this play, and let's reframe that. You know,
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: I heard this before, somebody had said this. I have
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: friends that say I'm broke or I don't have any money.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: I say, you're in between blessings. There's a blessing on
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: the way for you, and you're just between where you
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: are now and that blessing. So you're not broke, you're
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: in between a blessing. And so those are the ways
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: I help to reframe things in my mind to help
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: me think about life differently. I mean, because when you
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: think about it, the lens you look through your life
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: is what you believe about your life. If you believe
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: you're broke, you're going to be broke. There's nothing I
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: can do about it. There's nothing anybody externally from you
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: can do about it. Until you make a decision to
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: reframe things, You're always going to see things in the
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: frame that you put it in. That's not going to change,
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: you know, For anybody who has ever managed a camera, right,
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: whatever frame you put it in, whatever you know exposure
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: you have it in, that's how it's going to come out.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: It's not going to change because you wanted to change.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: Is not going to change because you're angry about, well,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: how you're seeing it. It's only going to change when
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: you change how you see it. So you have to
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: change the frame of the picture in which you're looking
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: through the lens. And this is what I was trying
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: to get through to my friend and it just wasn't resonating.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: And before I knew it because they were getting seemingly upset.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: I mean the upset was growing, right, it was mounting upset,
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: And before you know it, I felt a conviction in
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: my heart. I felt a moment where I was emotional
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: and I had to stop this friend and say, you
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: know what, I'm going to say something to you. And
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever said this to anyone before,
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: and I'm going to say it here too, And basically
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: the reason why I have this approach in my life
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: and I've taken this stance to be very mindful, and
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: I don't get it right one thousand percent. I don't
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: get right one hundred percent, but I work on getting
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: it right as much as I can because I am imperfect,
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: I am human. I am going to make mistakes, but
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: those mistakes over the years have diminished. I've improved and
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: not made as many mistakes as I've made, but I'm
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: still making mistakes. I'm learning from it. I'm learning how
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: to reframe things. I'm learning how to say things. I
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: heard something not too long ago. When people say I'm
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: angry or I'm tired, or you know, I am whatever,
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: and it's something obviously that I don't want to hold
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: on to. I don't want to hold on to being tired.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: I want to get up and go and live life
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: and work out and do things and show up for
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: friends and be in different places. I don't want to
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: be tired. So this person said, tired is going through me,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: and I thought, wow, I never thought about it that way. Again,
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: what we say we are, I am this, that's the
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: state you are in. But if you say this is
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: going through me at the moment, anger is going through
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: me at the moment. And again, guys, I know this
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: sounds for some far fetched, but this type of reframing
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: has helped me see my life in a different light.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: It has helped me react differently to the struggles of life.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: It has helped me rethink how I'm going to say
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: and what I'm gonna show up when I'm in the
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: lime light in the situation. Am I gonna show up
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: as the angry person because anger? I am angry? Or
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna have a moment where anger goes through me
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: and I can come out on the other side with
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: a more a response that is more aligned with who
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: I am now, who I'm going to be in the future.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: And that's where I came in with my friend. I
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: got so emotional because I wanted to to know do
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: you know why I am this way? Do you know
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: why I take this stance and I stand on business
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: Because I've spoken the negative things about myself and I've
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: done it over and over and over again for seasons
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: at a time. And when you do things like that,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: you expect change, right, You expect that you're going through something.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: It's bad. Eventually it's gonna end, but sometimes it doesn't
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: feel like there's an end in sight, and so you
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: keep speaking these words and all you're doing is you're
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: building the momentum towards the thing you don't want, towards
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: being broke, towards being sad, towards being angry fill in
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: the blank. You keep saying that you are this, and
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: you become this. And I told my friend, listen, I
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: do this, I act on this. I stop you in
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: these seasons when you start speaking this way over your life.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: I am this way partly because I was in a
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: position you were in at a time when I just
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: kept going further and further. What I call is you're
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: walking into the dark. You live in the light. You
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: carry a light, right this little light of mind. You
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: have that little light of yours, and when you say
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: those things, you start to snuff out that light. Over time,
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: that light doesn't shine as much. And now you're walking
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: in the dark, into the darkness. And as you continue
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: to put these words out there over your own life,
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: by the way, I am this, I am low, I
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: am poor, I am whatever word you're using. As you
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: continue to use these words, and these are affirmations in
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: the wrong direction, as I mentioned, affirmations in the wrong
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: direction right where you're speaking negatively about yourself. And as
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: you continue to say those words, you continue to lose
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: your own light, your inner light, of course, and then
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: all the light outside of you that helps you walk
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: that path, and you get to make decisions on the
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: walking that path of life. You can decide to go left,
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: you can decide to go right, but you know where
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: you're going, and you continue to walk that path. But
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: eventually you run out of light, and you've speak spoken
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: those words so much you are now in complete alignment.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: That's how belief systems are formed. You hear something over
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: and over and over and over and over again. You
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: repeat those words over and over and over and over
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: and over again. You live in that space over and over.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: You get the picture, and eventually you don't have light.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: You're not led by light. Your path forward has no light,
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: so you don't know where the edge is. And I've
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: come to a point where I was at an edge.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: I know what it feels like to stay in that
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: state where you are now engulfed in darkness. You feel
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: it from your head to your toe. You feel it,
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: you experience it, you live it partly because you came
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: into agreement with it. You aligned with it, you shook
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: hands with it, you embraced it. You didn't challenge it,
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: you didn't rebuke it. You kept walking into it, and
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: it took you with it. And now you're almost at
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: this point where you can no longer see your shadow,
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: You can't see a reflection, you don't know what's around you.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: You feel deeply into it, the abyss, the darkness, and
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: unless you have a person, a friend, to help pull
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: you out of it, to remind you of your power
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: in your words, in your speak over your life, you
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: can go farther and farther and distance yourself from the
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: truth of who you are, the truth of who you
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: can become and who you are becoming, by falling in
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: line with this lie. We talked about identity a few
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: weeks ago, and it happens that quickly, before you know it,
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: you've aligned yourself with a lie because of a current circumstance,
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: not a final circumstance. Listen, every day you open your eyes,
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: you're opening a new page in the chapter of your life.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: That's why when people celebrate birthdays they talk about the chapter. Well,
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: the chapter doesn't end on the day of your birthday.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: It doesn't end at the end of that day. That
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: page can be written each and every day. You can
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: author that page with how you are seeing your life.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: So when I'm going through circumstances, when I'm going through challenges,
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: when issues pop up in my life, I remind myself
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: that this is a moment, This is not my lifetime,
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: this is not how the chapter ends. Do I want
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: to give this a paragraph in my life? Do I
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: want to give this a sentence in my life? Does
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: this even deserve to be mentioned as part of my story?
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: When I think about all the things that are ahead
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: of me, do you see how that reframe is a
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: lot different than come into agreement and acceptance with a
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: limitation and a lie. And that's the conversation I had
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: with my friend. And for some people, that dark point
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: that I mention can have some really negative implications when
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: the thoughts start going through your mind about not even
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: being around to deal with whatever this is. It's so heavy,
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: it's so unseen, you don't even know what you're up against.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: It's so dark, there's so much despair. It's a robber
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: of your destiny. And some people they go over that edge.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: And the reason why I come to this podcast and
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: I've been talking about words and mindset and thoughts become
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: things for such a long time, and I will continue
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: to talk about it is because I I understand, I've
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: walked in the shoes, I've walked in the dark, I've
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: felt the heaviness. And so when I see a friend,
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: hear a friend going down that path, it is my
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: responsibility to say something, to do something, to present something,
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: to show them something that they haven't seen or heard
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: around that to help them come around, and help them
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: turn around and come back into the light and get
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: back the light within themselves, because that's what we lose
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: first before we start walking aimlessly into darkness. And so
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: I want your work in this season to have affirmations
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: about your life, to have affirmations about where you're going
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: and what you're doing. And yes, life will hand you lemons.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: Life will be life and whatever you want to say
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: and however you want to say it, But what do
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: you say when it happens? How do you walk yourself
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: through it when it happens? And perhaps right now you
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: don't have a good, good, strong strategy to do that.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: Perhaps right now you just let the negativity flow out
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: of you freely. Now that's one way to do it.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: But I promise you, if you keep doing it that way,
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: you're gonna get to a point where you lose your
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: light and then you eventually walk into the abyss of
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: the dark. And I'm trying for you to see yourself
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: bigger than that. I'm trying for you to understand that
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: that light is yours, that is your identity, is that
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: beautiful light that you brought into this world, that you
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: were brought into this world with, and the beautiful light
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: that you have taken into every circle, space and place
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: you've occupied. So don't let a circumstance or even multiple
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: circumstances change the DNA of the light within you, because
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: that's exactly what's happening. You're getting reprogrammed to believe something different,
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: to experience life differently, and it's all gonna start with
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: how you see it from your lens. I'm gonna challenge you.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna continue to challenge you to affirm yourself every
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: day in this season. It's so important to do that.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: It's gonna help you walk in light, keep your light,
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: and become the best version of you. I hope you
