  My name is David and I'm your legendary, a legendary and I mean legendary and
• 0:12
  because I'm in the doing a little recording here on my beautiful island of Puerto
• 0:17
  Rico on a little work trip, you know what I mean?
• 0:20
  So la leyenda, the deconstructing topic, let's go.
• 0:24
  But anyways, it's a beautiful day as I'm recording this,
• 0:27
  a beautiful day just to do a podcast, beautiful day just to do all that and
• 0:32
  everything and then some you already know we're doing something extra we're
• 0:35
  doing something special on a deconstructing type of podcast so right now i'm,
• 0:40
  looking at a rooster just chilling in the field there by the water by the beautiful beach here,
• 0:46
  in san juan puerto rico it's definitely a beautiful place and i always recommend people hey listen,
• 0:52
  sometimes i know that people want to travel to their home state or i mean their
• 0:57
  home country somewhere in Europe somewhere.
• 1:00
  And I don't know, you know what? The Caribbean is a beautiful place.
• 1:05
  It's beautiful islands here and definitely where I'm at at the moment.
• 1:09
  Puerto Rico is where I'm just doing my thing, you know?
• 1:13
  So it's definitely a beautiful day to make this beautiful podcast.
• 1:17
  And, you know, I just want to like keep it just a little bit of it all in the, in the mix of things.
• 1:23
  I like to kind of sometimes put a lot of things there. Like if I'm brewing my
• 1:27
  little stew, so then I'm moving un en sopau. And you know what?
• 1:31
  Had a couple of drinks yesterday night, enjoying the good time,
• 1:35
  enjoying with my colleagues, enjoying everything that I, that it is deconstructing
• 1:40
  and it is what we do and all the organizations.
• 1:43
  So shout out to all those organizations that are, that are doing their good work,
• 1:47
  trying to make things happen for, for people but it's
• 1:50
  one of those things hey you're enjoying the little drinks a
• 1:53
  little bit too much now i need a little something to
• 1:56
  uh kind of sweat it out you know what i mean so would be
• 2:00
  nice but it's too early in the morning for those
• 2:02
  don't you know for those individuals and
• 2:05
  so power could be like a stew whatever with some rice
• 2:08
  some meat all that good stuff sometimes hey for
• 2:11
  those people that enjoy that uh that adult life responsibly drinking that little
• 2:16
  bourbon cognac rum rum gotta be that there but hey sometimes you need that love
• 2:22
  but we always doing things responsibility and if you're if you're listening
• 2:27
  out there drink responsible or don't.
• 2:31
  You know what I mean? So that's where we are with this situation.
• 2:35
  We're making it happen. The reason I'm doing this little podcast,
• 2:38
  because it is the first podcast that I'm doing outside of the United States.
• 2:42
  So it's going to be something where I want to do, bring out.
• 2:46
  I want my channel to expand. I want everything to expand.
• 2:49
  And what better way to be like, you know what? I was born in this beautiful
• 2:53
  island, small island. But the fact is this.
• 2:57
  Sometimes you need that little kind of wake up call in a sense to be like, you know what, David?
• 3:03
  And to anybody out there who might be struggling, whether it's mentally,
• 3:06
  physically, whatever it is, sometimes you just got to hit that reset button.
• 3:10
  And sometimes you don't even know. And the fact is that, hey,
• 3:14
  the truth that, you know, doing a little work trip, you know,
• 3:17
  doing the good deeds, it kind of put me like, you know what? Interesting.
• 3:23
  That was that wake up call to remind you, hey, David, don't forget what your roots.
• 3:27
  And sometimes we need to there's times
• 3:30
  that we need to go back to our roots what made us us you
• 3:33
  know what i mean whether it's the good or the bad but we need that little
• 3:36
  kind of button that little push to be like okay now i
• 3:39
  know i see what you're saying okay okay so basically that's how i feel this
• 3:45
  morning as i'm doing this podcast it's a beautiful day we still got the moon
• 3:50
  going out there even though it's clear that's a mother flower and i'm next to
• 3:55
  these flowers they look a little bit dangerous but they look beautiful,
• 3:59
  but yes, I will be walking away from some of this beautiful nature that's around.
• 4:05
  I've come across a lot of people and people ask me what my podcast is. You know what I mean?
• 4:10
  You know, what is it that we do? What is it? And I say we because there are
• 4:14
  people out there who, you know, support this channel, support the podcast,
• 4:19
  support the movement, basically.
• 4:21
  And it's one of those things that I just want to talk about at all. Let's talk, you know.
• 4:26
  Sometimes we don't even know what we need to talk about. It's just the fact, let's talk.
• 4:31
  What's on your mind? What's on your agenda? What you want to do?
• 4:34
  Why are you doing the same thing and you're still
• 4:37
  feeling a little bit depressed a little bit sad a little
• 4:40
  bit of everything what exactly you're not
• 4:43
  doing that's not taking away from
• 4:46
  but but exactly the best version of yourself you know what i mean and sometimes
• 4:50
  being the best version of myself it can take a turn that it's gonna feel that
• 4:56
  it's like an internal battle but again hitting the reset button sometimes life
• 5:00
  will find a way that if you don't hit the reset button life will,
• 5:05
  hit it for you, you know?
• 5:07
  And sadly, sometimes there's times that something drastic got to happen,
• 5:11
  something crazy got to happen. You know what I mean?
• 5:13
  And you're going to wake up and you'll be like, ah, shit.
• 5:17
  It's useful for my language, but yeah, you're going to feel that way.
• 5:20
  And if you feel that way where you're kind of stuck somewhere or somehow,
• 5:24
  you know what I mean? Unstuck yourself.
• 5:26
  And you know, living in this country, look at United States,
• 5:29
  I love United States, I love America.
• 5:31
  But you know, they turn people into consumers. And we consume so much of whatever
• 5:36
  it is that sometimes we forget about ourselves.
• 5:39
  And, hey, I include myself there.
• 5:42
  But guess what? I got a podcast.
• 5:45
  And you're going to come across my podcast.
• 5:47
  And for those people that I've been listening to, and I'm not even going to
• 5:52
  say those people that are listening to, supporting, actually.
• 5:55
  It's a family. Hey, I'm listening to my uncle here talk, Uncle David in the
• 6:01
  house. because you know when I listen to the Uncle David, he makes me feel good.
• 6:07
  He makes me feel like, you know what?
• 6:08
  I just want to rule the world and do something because Uncle David, you know.
• 6:14
  But it's a legendary, David, from the Deconstructing Topic podcast.
• 6:18
  And, you know, obviously, that's what we have with life. And when we get to
• 6:22
  those situations where we say to ourselves, where are we in life and in terms of our life?
• 6:31
  And right now, for those people who know me, there's a lot of inspiration.
• 6:36
  There's a lot of aspirations that I have.
• 6:40
  To do so much, whether I could run for office, do this, do that, I believe in myself.
• 6:46
  Because sometimes I feel like people need me.
• 6:48
  Sometimes I feel like, you know, in this country, this beautiful country of
• 6:53
  America, well, I'm not going to say, I'm recording this in Puerto Rico,
• 6:55
  but in the United States of America, there's people that just need that thing.
• 7:00
  But sometimes we just consume into pointing the finger at the other house and
• 7:06
  say, look at that house, man. That house is filthy, dirty, but yet,
• 7:10
  what about our house? What about where we at?
• 7:13
  You know what I mean? And that's the thing that kind of gets me a little bit,
• 7:18
  you know, because we tend to be conditioned that, oh, that person is not doing good.
• 7:23
  That person, oh, I'm doing great, but then are we really?
• 7:27
  What are you doing? You know what I mean?
• 7:29
  And that's why, once again, I say this for like the 300,000 time.
• 7:34
  Let's go. I created a podcast because I
• 7:38
  believe that there's a good message that we could do I believe that we
• 7:41
  need more independent thinkers and I'm gonna go
• 7:43
  on a limb that there's people that say no no I think on
• 7:46
  my own you know when it comes to politics when it comes
• 7:49
  to you know religion when it comes to certain things oh
• 7:52
  no I think on my own but I do you really do you
• 7:55
  you know you just become a puppet of the system you
• 7:58
  just become just like the people
• 8:01
  that you claim you'll be fighting and sometimes you know
• 8:04
  what internally what i
• 8:07
  think is that sometimes we tend to
• 8:09
  kind of think about what others do and don't have and
• 8:12
  you know what and we're here fighting that battle internally because sometimes
• 8:17
  in life and many times in life the battle that we have is between us internally
• 8:23
  we are our biggest enemy we wake up and we say oh no no you know i'm good you
• 8:30
  know you get into this comfort zone. Are you good?
• 8:32
  How is it that you find a comfort zone, but yeah, you're feeling uncomfortable, you know?
• 8:38
  And, you know, again, and I find myself that there are times I feel that way.
• 8:42
  I get into this comfort zone, you know, there's these little dark clouds that
• 8:45
  are hovering over my head. And I say to myself, you know what?
• 8:49
  You already know. You already know we got to do something.
• 8:53
  And every time that we're doing something, yo, I tell you,
• 8:57
  take steps even if you tell me oh you know it's it's taking a long time i might
• 9:02
  think it's this how many steps you took well it took me 200 steps just to get
• 9:06
  to the big step you know well,
• 9:09
  that's better than no step that's better than you working walking backwards
• 9:13
  go go and grab somebody and blindly tell them walk backwards you'll find that
• 9:19
  they actually walk better backwards blindly you know,
• 9:23
  with a blindfold and then they work without no blindfold, then they walk forward.
• 9:29
  Because when we move forward, when we start doing these things that we think
• 9:32
  that we're doing better than ourselves, when we think that we're doing that,
• 9:37
  we stumble right there in front of the things that are right in front of us.
• 9:41
  Put a blindfold on. I'll guarantee we're good. Put a blindfold to the person. Hey, go walk backwards.
• 9:47
  I'll guarantee that person will be walking backwards and not stumble because
• 9:51
  they don't know what they're looking at. They don't see their mistake.
• 9:53
  They don't see what they do. all they're going to be thinking is like ah if
• 9:57
  i fall i'm done but you see when you,
• 10:02
  unfold yourself and you see everything that's in front of you you fall because
• 10:08
  now you tend to kind of put a lot of emphasis certain little things there instead
• 10:12
  of just you know what put that mindset the same way the mindset of when you
• 10:17
  are blindfolded walking backwards all you care is not falling.
• 10:22
  But when you see you care, it's about falling.
• 10:25
  Sometimes we put too much emphasis on falling than living. And I'll be the first
• 10:30
  one to say that happened to me.
• 10:32
  That happened to me and happened to me not too long ago. You know,
• 10:35
  I celebrated my 20 year anniversary of the car accident, but guess what?
• 10:39
  I was so much focused on that I survived or surviving, or I was surviving of
• 10:44
  that car accident then? Living.
• 10:47
  Like, gosh. You know, one thing is surviving something, but then one thing is living.
• 10:53
  It's great that we survive for those who are victim of anything that you're
• 10:57
  saying to yourself, I'm a survivor of this.
• 11:00
  Now, the next step is, let's start living.
• 11:03
