• 0:20
  Give me a little bit of 10, 15 minutes of your time, and we're definitely going to make it happen.
• 0:24
  Because I am your legendary host of the Deconstructing Topic Podcast.
• 0:30
  I tell you Time is passing There's so
• 0:33
  much going on In this world And in life And
• 0:37
  I'm focused and focused And once again I like You know I always tell my audience
• 0:41
  out there I am And will bring A lot of the content Because I want to educate
• 0:46
  My people out there That are listening to That are listening And from day one
• 0:51
  Day two Whatever it is Wherever you catch me On the YouTube Spotify.
• 0:56
  Apple Podcasts Or any platform that you listen to my podcast.
• 1:00
  It's a deconstructed type of podcast. And I'm telling you, sometimes it's hard
• 1:04
  to juggle life in a sense in the balance.
• 1:08
  And that's why I created this little episode here because sometimes I catch
• 1:13
  myself in life and this happens to many people.
• 1:16
  Is that there are things that kind of tend to kind of repeat in itself,
• 1:20
  whether it's the second, third time around, whether it's a scenario, situation,
• 1:25
  whether it's at work, whether it's family, whether it's your financial,
• 1:29
  whether it's all this, and that it kind of, in a sense, how can we kind of stop things to repeat?
• 1:36
  And sadly, you know, hey, listen, that's life. And one of the things in life,
• 1:40
  And one of the things about humanity and human history is that history tends
• 1:45
  to repeat itself in life.
• 1:47
  Things tend to repeat itself for the sake of, hey, listen, that's just what life is all about.
• 1:54
  You know what I mean? And I'm not going to kind of sugarcoat it or try to bring a philosophy in it.
• 1:59
  It's just that the question would be, what do we learn the second time around?
• 2:04
  And this is why I said, you know what? You can catch me everywhere.
• 2:07
  And I'm also on T-Juice TV.
• 2:10
  The description would be, or the information would be on my description and I would sell my peoples.
• 2:17
  Everybody, if you're listening to it and if you're an ongoing person listening
• 2:21
  to my podcast, the like button, it means a lot.
• 2:25
  It means a lot. You know what I mean? The comment and all that good stuff.
• 2:29
  Hey, listen, we're moving the dial here.
• 2:30
  And this is why we, today, in today's podcast, we definitely got a good one
• 2:36
  because sometimes I feel, and I'm not going to say sometimes,
• 2:39
  it's like there are things that happen that you kind of, wait a minute.
• 2:43
  It's like this movie that I just hit rewind, and I'm like looking at myself
• 2:48
  in the side, and it's like, okay.
• 2:50
  It's like I've seen this movie before. And sometimes, you know,
• 2:54
  those little actions in life,
• 2:56
  that if a scenario happens, and if you feel that kind of like that deja vu,
• 3:02
  and deja vu is like, you know, that little feeling with something,
• 3:05
  You know, I've been there, done that, you know But where, when, how?
• 3:11
  So that's the question That is that question And should we ask that question? What do you do?
• 3:17
  What do you do in life when you get
• 3:20
  this little feeling Because something happened, whether it's a scenario.
• 3:24
  Whatever situation Whether it's something in life where you say Damn,
• 3:29
  I feel like I've been there What am I supposed to do?
• 3:33
  What do I remember the first time around that didn't work out Oh, it worked out,
• 3:38
  And I want my audience out there or anybody that's listening.
• 3:41
  So just think about that situation.
• 3:45
  And I'm not trying to, you know, I want to separate from an episode where life
• 3:51
  is giving you a second chance.
• 3:52
  I'm trying to avoid going to that path.
• 3:56
  You know, for some people, it's like, okay, David, what does that mean?
• 3:59
  What are you trying to get at here in regards to, you know, life,
• 4:04
  things happening the same or something that's repeating in itself or something to that effect?
• 4:08
  And there's been many situations, and I guarantee you, and I've,
• 4:14
  look, listen, I've come across so many people.
• 4:16
  I got a great circle of friends all over the place from work,
• 4:20
  outside of work, to the gym.
• 4:23
  Everywhere I go, I'm there. And I've built a good rapport with many people that have opened up to me.
• 4:30
  And sometimes it sounds like there's people that you'd be like, okay, wait a minute.
• 4:36
  Then this happen to you Then you learn anything From the first time around And
• 4:40
  that's what I want My people to do I want anybody That's listening to this Once
• 4:44
  again Is that Whenever you feel that way You gotta Kinda hit the pause Binder in a sense.
• 4:52
  Kind of like, whoa, whoa, timeout, timeout, timeout. You know,
• 4:55
  for those people that love sports, hey, listen, I'm a sports person.
• 4:59
  And, you know, timeout means pause. Timeout like, hold on, hold on,
• 5:02
  hold on. What's going on, Travis? What's going on, Travis?
• 5:05
  And you got to have to assess the situation. Number one, you're going to probably
• 5:10
  wonder, why did that happen? Why is it happening again?
• 5:14
  Did I manifest that same situation? Am I attracted to that same situation?
• 5:20
  Situation do i want to be in that situation the same situation you know what's
• 5:25
  going on because the other day as i'm leaving the gym and then you know i got
• 5:29
  this little epiphany that's why i love going to the gym in the morning i'm like
• 5:33
  uh the puerto vican rooster as i always said.
• 5:38
  Waking up early doing my thing in the gym walking to work a little epiphany
• 5:44
  like it hit me like like Like if, I don't know, man.
• 5:50
  Have you ever, you know, seen those movies that people are in these pirate ships
• 5:53
  shooting a cannon? You see how loud a cannon, like, boom!
• 5:56
  Kind of felt that way. Like, it was like a loud sound, even though there was
• 6:01
  no sound, but it was just an internal voice.
• 6:04
  An internal feeling, like, bam!
• 6:07
  And I had this little epiphany. It was a reminder of something.
• 6:11
  And that was like a domino effect.
• 6:13
  There was this conversation that I had with somebody.
• 6:16
  That it became a domino effect that it started kind of reminding me,
• 6:23
  of things that I have manifested over here, throwing a cap, throwing a S,
• 6:30
  T, whatever this might be, but you get the chance, and it reminds me, like,
• 6:35
  ah, I remember this.
• 6:37
  And I remember from being to point A, thinking I'm going to be in point B,
• 6:43
  and years apart, that's what happened. And I'm like, okay.
• 6:47
  And having this conversation is like, wait, wait a minute.
• 6:50
  I've been here before. Huh. Interesting.
• 6:55
  And just because I've been there before, it may be, and I channel that in a
• 7:02
  thing, and sometimes memories, they listen.
• 7:04
  I know I understand as we sometimes get older, people might not have good memory.
• 7:08
  People might have whatever memory.
• 7:11
  People have short-term memory, long-term memory.
• 7:14
  But there is this thing in our brain that we do remember something that you
• 7:18
  just say to yourself, okay, what am I going to learn now?
• 7:21
  How can I do this different than the first time especially if I'm going to lean
• 7:25
  that something didn't work,
• 7:27
  And I don't want, you know, a lot of my peoples out there, which I love.
• 7:30
  You already know, the Deconstructing Topic podcast.
• 7:34
  My deconstructors. Woo! I don't want my people to once again be in this situation
• 7:40
  where something happened again and you get flustered.
• 7:44
  It's like, oh, man, it happened again. What should I do? You know, where are you?
• 7:47
  You know, what's going on? Just relax.
• 7:52
  Pause there for a second.
• 7:54
  I'm over here making movement on my chair. People are going to be like, David, you know.
• 7:57
  Got some extra sounds over there in the background. What's going on?
• 8:00
  Hey, you know, sitting in a leather seat.
• 8:03
  Hey, let's go. Hey, one day I was sitting in a gold throne.
• 8:09
  No, I'm just kidding. Watch a lot of fantasies out there, fantasy shows.
• 8:14
  But just hear me out.
• 8:18
  Because the other day I'm talking to one of my brothers-in-arms and they're
• 8:22
  telling a story that it's like, you know, I could have sworn you told me that
• 8:25
  story before. well, this time is a different, and I'm like, well, what's different?
• 8:30
  The characters, you know, what's different?
• 8:33
  It's the same story, just different characters, and that's where I want people
• 8:38
  to, like, kind of hit that pause and, like, go down.
• 8:42
  Believe it or not, there's so many situations that happen to us in life that
• 8:49
  it has happened before, and when it happened before, it doesn't matter what's
• 8:53
  two years ago, five, ten,
• 8:55
  fifteen, Listen, I'm dealing with a situation that I'm basically dealing with for nine years,
• 9:01
  And it's one of those things where I say to myself You know,
• 9:04
  hey, listen, I cannot become the person I can become If this certain thing is just repeating,
• 9:12
  So then what you gonna do?
• 9:15
  And that's the question that you're going to ask yourself. Because sometimes
• 9:18
  in life, sadly, as much as I come across so many people who take pride in their
• 9:25
  intelligence, thinking outside of the box.
• 9:28
  Hey, listen, I take pride of thinking on my own.
• 9:31
  But it doesn't mean that there's something that I have a weakness for that I
• 9:35
  tend to account for or something where I'm like, oh, my God.
• 9:39
  It's kind of like going to a candy store, if you will, somewhere where we go.
• 9:44
  And then your weakness is like, oh, man, I love chocolate chip popcorn.
• 9:51
  Despite the fact that the doctor said, don't eat that anymore, at least limit it.
• 9:55
  But people, again, we're going to fall into these patterns and so on that leads
• 9:59
  us to have that experience that, oh, my God, this happened again.
• 10:03
  Oh, it's happening again.
• 10:05
  When you get that notion and you get that little thing going on and that little
• 10:09
  feeling, that deja vu, please think about that.
• 10:14
  When I was walking in the gym talking about that epiphany, I kind of remember
• 10:17
  something. and one of the things that I've said, it's like, don't wait until
• 10:22
  life gives you another wake-up call.
• 10:24
  You understand what I'm saying? And sometimes, sadly, we need these wake-up
• 10:29
  calls, but sometimes it seems that we don't, we procrastinate that something
• 10:34
  happened, whether somebody got sick, hurt,
• 10:37
  passed away, something drastic happened that you'd be like, oh my God,
• 10:41
  it's a wake-up call. Please do not, please.
• 10:45
  I think that at this point in my life, at this point in your life.
• 10:48
  We don't need no more wake-up calls. We should be expecting what life gives us.
• 10:53
  As long as we're alive, we know that a lot of bad things will happen,
• 10:57
  not only just to us, to our friends, family, things that surround us,
• 11:03
  things that we have no control.
• 11:05
  And that's where that situation, when I'm talking to this individual,
• 11:11
  I get that sense like, whoa, I heard this conversation. for.
• 11:18
  Like, hold on. Because sometimes in life, what happens to you that when things
• 11:22
  happen again and you don't learn from it the first time, it's going to hit you
• 11:27
  harder the second time around.
• 11:29
  So that's why you got to hit a pause button. You got to think.
• 11:32
  You got to be like, and especially if you're somebody that have lived in life,
• 11:37
  has lived in this earth a little bit, you know, longer than others.
• 11:42
  You don't want to wait until you're 70, 60, 50, sometimes 40.
• 11:47
  And obviously, life kind of becomes a little bit different after 40.
• 11:51
  But you don't want to hit 50, 60 still with the same thing over and over and over.
• 11:56
  Somewhere, you have to do something.
• 11:59
  Especially if life is giving you the same scenario in which you did not learn from before.
• 12:06
  So this is like a little life lesson, kind of like a little advice.
• 12:10
  And I'm basking on this advice.
• 12:13
  Because someone reached out to me and told me, hey, wait a minute.
• 12:17
  Remember this, what we spoke about? And I said, yeah, huh.
• 12:24
  And they were showing me an article of a person who was in rock bottom,
• 12:28
  and they were on a mission, in a one-year mission, they were able to go from
• 12:32
  rock bottom to at least touch a rock.
• 12:37
  Think about that. That's the same. Rock bottom means the low of the lowest, right?
• 12:42
  It's always get that saying of, you know, you're going so deep,
• 12:47
  so low that the only thing that you're going to touch is a rock. That's earth.
• 12:51
  But I said to myself, okay, there's only one way to go up.
• 12:56
  And it kind of reminds me of that thing. And that's when I had that epiphany
• 12:59
  of things that I said to myself, I need to manifest.
• 13:03
  And I ain't manifesting because I'm on a mission and we all should be on a mission
• 13:09
  of let's not allow life to dictate how we live and things happening over and over and over.
• 13:18
  Anyways, that's my little thing, my little life lesson. Just time out.
• 13:25
  Whenever you get that hit, that hit right there that says,
• 13:30
  I've seen this movie before Hit the pause button And then hit play whenever
