  I am your legendary host David from this legendary podcast that deconstruct
• 0:10
  the topic podcast where we grab a topic and We deconstruct it, you know, like listen.
• 0:17
  I am myself a sound effect guy For some reason if those people out there that
• 0:21
  watch police academy, you know what i'm talking about But sometimes I just like to be raw,
• 0:26
  And if somebody would love out there To do a sound effect of Choo-choo-choo
• 0:31
  rail construction stuff Then aye,
• 0:33
  by all means Other than that, you're just going to hear my voice Do as much
• 0:37
  noise as I am my soundboard If you will So, ow,
• 0:42
  let's make it happen And welcome to Deconstructing Topic Podcast Once again,
• 0:46
  we grab a topic And we deconstruct it the David way And sometimes I like to And I'm,
• 0:53
  not sometimes But I, most time when I do a podcast or when I'm out there networking
• 0:58
  or doing something like that, I'm always in the mindset that I'm saving your
• 1:02
  mind because I'm saving your life.
• 1:03
  And that's what we got each other for. But we definitely make it happen. And.
• 1:08
  Just want to wish everybody out there today is one of those days that we do
• 1:13
  something interesting. I'm over here coming from the gym.
• 1:17
  Actually, stop by. But again, not trying to plug in anybody or any company or any franchise.
• 1:25
  But for some reason, I passed by the Chick-fil-A people over there to make, to get some breakfast.
• 1:31
  And I want to say that when I'm a little bit hungry. And you know what?
• 1:34
  But when I'm starving, getting from the gym, putting all that energy for a good
• 1:41
  hour, you know, I need some replenishment.
• 1:44
  And when I'm starving and I'm doing some order, I'll be honest.
• 1:48
  And shout out to the people that are taking your order because you could only
• 1:51
  hope that they are listening to you and they take the order right and you eat what you requested.
• 1:57
  But there are times that when I don't have that energy, I tend to like,
• 2:01
  yeah, let me get them. You know, I'm shaking.
• 2:04
  And for some reason, the young lady that was taking my order,
• 2:07
  she said everything right. Check, check, check.
• 2:10
  And then the next thing, because I did order the meal, breakfast burrito.
• 2:14
  Shout out to the breakfast burrito people out there.
• 2:16
  She said something about vanilla iced coffee.
• 2:19
  She did ask me vanilla at a virgin. I'm like, eh?
• 2:22
  You talking about like a sauce? I said vanilla. So I was like,
• 2:26
  okay, you know, let me get your name. Okay, I'm doing my waiting thing.
• 2:29
  Few minutes pass. Few minutes later. Few minutes later.
• 2:34
  Santa, starving and all, got a vulture like flying over my head.
• 2:39
  And lo and behold, I see the vanilla iced coffee, nice size, no funny stuff.
• 2:45
  I got my order, put it in my book bag, not the vanilla coffee, obviously.
• 2:50
  And I take a sip and I said to myself, eh, and I want to be like today's episode.
• 2:57
  Because coming from the gym, a lot of my gym brothers and sisters, they're getting up.
• 3:04
  They're doing their gym, even though they might not have the energy.
• 3:06
  And as I'm networking with some of my brothers and sisters and new people out
• 3:11
  there, you know, it's always that thing.
• 3:13
  And I was having a conversation with one of my assistants in arms in the gym.
• 3:17
  And it's funny because it's like we started like kind of laughing and having
• 3:21
  a conversation like, okay, so our body is here.
• 3:24
  The energy is somewhere over there.
• 3:27
  And I'm mining somewhere over
• 3:29
  here. And it always that thing that I always try to kind of remind people,
• 3:35
  that sometimes we put, you know, it's your mind, body, and soul,
• 3:39
  and in your heart, they all want to be in sync in the same page,
• 3:43
  in the same room, have a nice conversation, because sometimes we need those things.
• 3:48
  Sometimes, let's say we got 30 days of 30 days in a month. You want a 25 out
• 3:55
  of 30, 24 out of 30, or 31 days, or 28 days.
• 4:01
  But you want to give more than your, like, 50% of a month that you want to be at your best.
• 4:08
  But sometimes the body and the mind don't follow. And sometimes we are deceptive
• 4:12
  to make mistakes, to make errors. But think about it. It's this.
• 4:18
  My energy was a bit depleted when I was making that order.
• 4:22
  And again, shout out to the young lady that was taking my order.
• 4:26
  It's not her fault. That was just me.
• 4:29
  Because in my mind, I'm already knowing what I want. But then have you not gone
• 4:33
  in those places where you hungry, you starving?
• 4:36
  You know you want something specific, but then you look at the menu up there
• 4:40
  and that shit throws you off. Excuse my language.
• 4:43
  You're hungry. You want something. but then it throws you off.
• 4:48
  So out of nowhere, if you went to get to a store to get some bacon,
• 4:52
  egg, and cheese on a croissant, you see something else that looks more delicious.
• 4:57
  Sausage, bacon, egg, cheese, on a hero on top of a biscuit or something to that
• 5:04
  effect, you know, it throws you off.
• 5:06
  So sometimes what you project is not what's on your mind and apparently that's
• 5:10
  what happened in this situation.
• 5:12
  But I want people to understand that there are going to be times that none of
• 5:17
  your fault, nobody's fault, but the fact is that when we do something where
• 5:22
  we, I think I made a mistake, sometimes we got to capitalize on those mistakes.
• 5:27
  The fact that this coffee, this vanilla coffee, it's actually not bad.
• 5:35
  I'm not sure if I'm going to drink the whole thing. And not that I don't,
• 5:41
  again, I like it. It's just that I'm not accustomed to it.
• 5:44
  But again, it's the fact that now, next time, I might consider,
• 5:51
  hey, let me get a vanilla iced coffee with more of a thing that to know what it is.
• 5:57
  And there's a lot of people. And look, listen, in my little inner circle,
• 6:02
  I have kind of have been opened up to a situation, even though I'm hesitant.
• 6:08
  So there's a cloud that's hanging over my head where I've known that I, how can I say it to you?
• 6:14
  I made a big decision, a big one, and it's affected me.
• 6:18
  But it doesn't mean that that would be the end of it all.
• 6:21
  That means that sometimes we got to capitalize on those mistakes.
• 6:25
  And again, and I'm closely choosing the word mistake because sometimes that's how we feel.
• 6:32
  Sometimes it is out of our hand, but who is to say that we cannot capitalize
• 6:37
  on certain things that we would say, oh, damn, I think that was a mistake.
• 6:43
  Did I do a mistake? Did I do, you know what I'm saying?
• 6:46
  So what can we do? That was the last time somebody said, you know what?
• 6:50
  Yeah, because right now I could just be in regret, throw out this vanilla,
• 6:56
  you know, coffee, iced coffee, but I'm enjoying it.
• 7:01
  And it actually give me a little bit of boost.
• 7:04
  See, that's the good thing about that. Are we gonna go back and forth in regards
• 7:08
  to life and that's what it is and I also mentioned my gym brothers and sisters.
• 7:15
  There was a couple of them that kind of like, damn, I don't know if this was
• 7:18
  the right thing to go to the gym. I'm tired. I'm sleepy.
• 7:22
  But the next thing, 10, 15 minutes, everybody in the gym, we like a little family.
• 7:29
  Everybody's having a conversation and all that good stuff. And I don't know
• 7:32
  whether people's morales just went up.
• 7:35
  And one of the gym brothers was on the phone, like, with not much energy.
• 7:40
  But, you know, just the fact that a couple of us was making him laugh and he was happy.
• 7:45
  And out of nowhere, instead of feeling kind of down, like, you're like,
• 7:49
  you know what? Have a great weekend. You know, I'll see you tomorrow, you know, type of deal.
• 7:53
  But again, he was one who have mentioned that, you know, I think I made a little
• 7:57
  mistake, you know, coming over here. I don't know. I should have stood, whatever.
• 8:01
  But then I always said, perhaps there's no such thing as a mistake.
• 8:05
  There's something to learn when one would think that I made a bad decision or
• 8:09
  want that something that is out of your hand, like mistake.
• 8:13
  And that's how we find a way to get our mind and body together,
• 8:18
  our soul together, is that when, you know,
• 8:22
  these elements in our life that we make these little situations where,
• 8:27
  you know, there's a little internal battle inside of us just because of,
• 8:32
  again, a mistake doesn't mean anything.
• 8:35
  What's the game plan? What's the next game plan? Now, I got something that I'm
• 8:41
  going to look forward to next time I go to Chick-fil-A.
• 8:44
  Maybe I'll try other franchises iced coffee.
• 8:48
  Just to get a little pep going. Hey, listen, the spring is here and the summer
• 8:52
  is around the corner. What better way to feel refreshed?
• 8:58
  Maybe is that something that, hey, listen, after work, I'll pick one up and
• 9:02
  maybe, you know, spike that mother flower up. Let's go.
• 9:06
  But in this episode, a little short episode, again, next time that you feel
• 9:11
  that you did something, man, I think that was a mistake. I leave it as such.
• 9:16
  Just think about it. What can one learn from that mistake?
• 9:22
  And for me, it could be a lot. And because of that, that might change the whole trajectory of your day.
