Transcript
- Alexa: If you're waiting for the world to feel safe, predictable, and united before you actually start living, how long are you truly waiting? And how long are you truly willing to wait to live the life of your dreams? You see, there's always going to be another external event that is going to influence the pendulum in one way or another. And what I mean by this is that there's always going to be another disagreement. There's always going to be another political campaign. There's always going to be life happening, our children growing, ideas that we want to put into action, the relationship that needs attention, the business that you want to start. And today I want to talk to you about staying informed without giving away your peace, standing by your beliefs, without attacking other people. And taking responsibility for the life that you want and living in alignment with the life that God wants for you. And I really want to start off by making this super clear like where this is coming from. I saw that there's a lot of people on social media, whether it's Latino community, whether it's you know, whites, whether it's African Americans, whether it's whatever. There's a lot of division happening in between our own communities. And this is exactly what I've talked about when it comes to the energy that the people in charge of the world want for us to have. And you might be wondering, like, what do you mean by that? The names that you see, the names that you see of people that are out there. Whether you're someone that's watching from Mexico or you're someone that's watching from, you know, the United States, wherever you're at, you're going to have certain people that are quote unquote ruling that government, that specific city, that specific community. And what we don't realize is that they're just puppets in a bigger game. And I'm very Cautious to talk about politics because I actually believe that again, the more that you divide people, the more that you can conquer. So if I sit here and say I believe that the sky is pink, and you sit there and say, actually, no, it's you know light pink, we could end up getting into this back and forth. And ultimately we forget who the other person is, and we start hating on the other person all because they don't believe exactly. The same way that you believe. And I know that moving forward, that doesn't necessarily mean that it's easy to encounter that reality because I know that there's so many things that you might have as beliefs that you're like Alexa, but I want to change the world and I want to do things differently and look at what they've done before. But I just want to remind you that your power, the true power that you hold. Is not in the hands of these people that don't even know you. It's actually in your hands. And for me, I'm not going to bet my life, my kids' lives, my legacy for anybody externally. And I want to take full control of what I can do for my life. And I say this because you see, I lost family members in COVID. So when I talk about moving forward through difficult circumstances, I'm speaking with the understanding of knowing that those circumstances hurt. And I'm not saying that everybody has the same resources and opportunities. And I'm not suggesting that someone loss of like a family member is just like a mindset problem. What I'm saying is that uncertainty, grief can become part of the life we learn. To move through. Yes, you need time. Yes, you need support. Yes, you need a different plan. But we can still ask how do I care for myself and the people that I love while taking the next steps that are available right now? And you see, this is where I wanted to have this conversation because with so much noise happening, with so many different perspectives, it drives your energy down. And what it actually causes is for you to have more uncertainty. And remember, if there's anything you're taking from any of these conversations, my goal is to give you tools to help you live a better life. What your definition of a better life is with the word of God, with being a person with integrity and boundaries and servicing people at the highest level, whatever that means for you, my goal is that with these conversations, it can just open your perspective. And you see, I have really Gotten myself into some deep rabbit holes growing up. And it's allowed me to see life in a very different lens. I've gone through some really dark moments of my life, and I've gone through some really empowering moments of my life. And what I just want to share before I go into some tactical things that you can do to navigate these waters, I just want to remind you that the people that you see that are telling you this is wrong and are trying to push an agenda. They genuinely don't have your best interest. Because, and I'll use an example with Democrats and Republicans, right? There's a lot of people that they're like, I don't want to get into politics because no matter what, nothing changes, right? And that's the mindset that they actually want because the people that do still believe that things can change go and vote. And then those are the people that they're trying to persuade to vote for them. And I say this because if you study history, You'll start to realize that whether it's been blue or red, there have been things that have happened in society that they claimed were going to change that did not change. What does that tell us? What are the facts? The facts are that somebody telling us that they're going to change the world we live in is not going to happen. We need to change the world that we live in. I was looking at this mom talking about how. in order for the congressperson that won to really make a change in like the public schools, there's all these other components that need to change. And that if we really want the change, we need to go and really get into the grassroots of things and go and actually like vote for these other candidates. And it was this whole thing. And what I kept thinking about was like, what if we just kept making more money and servicing more people that I don't have to go through all that red tape and I just decide I'm gonna fund that school and I'm going to dictate a better curriculum for that school. And I'm gonna start a new school actually, and it's gonna be a nonprofit organization, but because I have so much money, so much abundance, I can afford to do that. And I share that with you because those are the goals that I have in my mind. I stopped worrying about what is happening in the external world that I can't control. And and I wanna just share this with you because I think it's important. That doesn't mean that I care any less. Every time that I see a kid in the streets asking for money, it breaks my heart. And as soon as I see that I have money in my whether it's $10, whether it's a dollar, whether it's a hundred dollar bill that I had no change for, I give it to them. And I say this not for a pat in my back, but for me to illustrate that it hurts. It hurts because I know what it's like to go and be struggling and not have a place to live. And I know what it's like to have so much uncertainty of not knowing what's gonna happen tomorrow and where your next meal is going to come from. But I also know that giving more people a fish versus teaching them how to fish is a temporary problem that is solved. And what we need to learn how to do is create more solutions. So I want to really help you reflect on how this can be the thing that can change your life so that. You're not a puppet in this larger game because I saw so many slandering going around with the the Republicans and the Democrats, and it was ironic to me because I could see right through the BS that's happening. And what was interesting is that for example, the Democrats were saying things of like, Well, we want to tax the rich so that the poor people, the underprivileged people could have more, right? And It's ironic because a lot of their supporters, like the people that are funding them, that's a policy that is not necessarily going to be in their best interest. So they still have people with big pockets that are writing them checks. Which, of course, if they want those checks to continue, they're going to need to appease these people. So I think it's the same for both of these parties. Both of them have, like my grandma would say, colakelepisen. Right? they both have some sort of skin in the game that if they don't do what the puppet masters are telling them to do, funding goes away. And why is that important? Well, because if we continue to give them the ability to influence dividing us, right? The ability to influence us with scarcity and tactics that make us feel like They should be the ones to distribute more wealth. It's been proven, there is a lot of controversial conversations about this, that if all of the money of the world was like, let's say, split among everybody equally, the people that have money now would end up earning all the money back because the people that didn't have money end up actually spending all that money that they got, right? In this little hypothetical. And the people with the most money end up with the most money again. And the people with no money end up with no money again. Help me make that sense. And what I want to share with you is that it's where I always talk about how God is not going to give you more than you can handle. So if you keep praying, God, give me more abundance, but you're not actually working behind the scenes to steward your money. Even if somebody gave you a million dollars right now, you wouldn't know how to properly steward that money. And this is a a painful realization that I had to go through because I was like, no, you're telling me that I'm not ready for that. what are you talking about? I've struggled my whole life and I've worked so hard. Like, of course I deserve it. It's not whether you deserve it, it's how can you actually steward it? And if you're not ready to get the keys of the car, you're never going to drive. So I want to give you some reflection questions that I would encourage you to ask. So that you're not focusing on the noise that's happening externally. And so that you continue to navigate into the life that you want. Because I want to give a very controversial perspective here, but I do believe that there's entities that are controlling a lot of these governmental policies and structures that we see. And it's not the people that you and I know the names of, it's people that are very much hidden in the shadows. That feed off of fear. And I share this not to sound like a crazy person, but obviously to some of you that might sound like it, because again, sometimes the truth is sitting in plain sight. But how else can you make sense of the disgusting things that are happening in the world? I don't have to go too far deep into the trafficking of children. And if you think about that, they could stop that within Within a matter of days, they could stop all the sex trafficking rings that are happening. But they don't. Why? Because they feed off of that negative energy. And I know this is a very twisted way to see things for some of you guys that have never heard these perspectives. I encourage you to ask God to show you the way and to show you the real answers that are standing right in front of our faces. But if you could just get behind the fact that just there's a lot of evil, there's also a lot of good. And I do believe that good always wins. But the only way that we can help good win is by working on ourselves. Because if I continue to blame the society, the government, the president, the healthcare system, if I continue to blame everything externally, instead of empowering myself and educating myself, like let's say you're someone that's like like me, like it it Bothers you to know that the healthcare system is a joke. well, Mark Cuban, he's actually doing something about it and he's trying to like go after some of these titans that are controlling the industry, and he has a lot of money and he's trying to make a difference. And he came from nothing. And I'm not sitting here and trying to convince you to like the dude or not. That's not the point. The point is that he's making a difference from the actual place it can make a ripple effect. So if you're someone that's very passionate about dogs that are in the streets, make a difference. Work on yourself, make more money, heal yourself so that you can be the one to open more shelters and not wait on the government to come and save us. So the first reflection question that I would encourage you to think about is what external situation has been taking up the most of your attention? Because remember, the things that you're constantly giving your attention, that's where your energy is flowing. And I want you to actually ask, how is that affecting your life? And how are you letting fear control your life? And another reflection question is what preparation or support would help you in this season? What goal have I been postponing while waiting for more certainty? Right? Like maybe you're in a stage where you're like, Alexa, like I I need to wait for more certain times to invest, right? I have A thousand dollars and I want to grow it, but you know what? There's so much uncertainty that I don't know if I should invest it because I I might need it. That's scarcity. And I've been there and I still go through that, but I break through it by just taking one action step. I shared with you guys that I recently got into trading and it's been a roller coaster of emotions. I've lost money, I've made money. I'm learning how to follow the rules because there's rules. A lot of people think that trading is gambling, but it's not. It's a lot of statistics and a lot of reading charts and understanding what's happening with the market. And it's allowing me to say, you know what, in this season of my life, I want to learn a new tool so that I'm not just waiting in the sidelines for someone to come and save me. And I also want you to ask yourself how am I treating people who see things differently than me? Because Chances are you're letting the people that want to divide you from your friends, from your family, because what they want is to isolate you. So let's say in your community, now you don't like anybody because everybody's voting X amount, X way of voting, and they voted purple and you want it pink. Now you're like, we can't be friends. So what happens? You isolate more. And when you isolate, if you actually read it in the Bible, it says that that's one of the worst things we can do because then there's nobody to hold us accountable. And we just go in our own little crazy world in our head and we're saying all these stories and narrations and we're not actually growing. Because what we believe to be true, the algorithm is so great that if you start searching for all of these things, you're gonna find more people that agree with those things. But now you don't have the flip side of that. So there's no contrast and there's no way of growing. Because you're set in your way. So, how are you actually treating those people around you differently that's actually affecting your growth? And what's one action step that you can take this week that can change that? I try and focus on what I can control, which isn't many things other than my reaction to life. My reaction to life is one saying that I learned that has really changed me, that allows me to really have a different perspective. Because I can't control if my kids are going to clean up their room and piss me off and you know, now I have to go over that, but I can control how I'm going to get pissed off about it, right? I can control how I'm going to react with them. Am I going to start yelling at them, which is only going to make them feel more insecure about themselves? Or am I going to have a conversation and even though it's like the hundredth time that I have this conversation, maybe that's the thing that they needed to hear again. So I don't want us to Dwell over trying to predict what's going to happen. We can acknowledge that there is injustice. We can acknowledge that there's real losses that are happening. We can advocate for change and still take steps in our lives to be the change that we want to see. And you're a woman whose choices matter. And I think that this is one of the most important empowering things that you cannot control. Anything that's happening externally, you can, however, control how you're reacting to everything that's happening externally. And I say this with so much love because if you know me, you know that I genuinely want everybody to win. if you have good a good head on your shoulders, if you have good values and morals, and you want to do things like with integrity, I want you to win. And I I know how hurtful this could be for a lot of people because again, sometimes we just listen to what we want to listen to and we'll say, you agree with this. I know some of my family members that voted a certain way. And I don't love them any less. I just hope we can have an intellectual conversation to actually grow from that without offending each other to the point where we don't talk. So I just want to remind you that we need to be the change. We need to be the change that we want to see in the world. So I hope this helps even one of you. And remember that you're a walking manifestator. You get to be alive. You get to walk in alignment with the word that God has stated for you, which is you have a gift. And we just need to learn how to use that gift. Because every single one of us is here for a reason. So If nobody has told you this, remember that you are loved, you are worthy, and you can absolutely manifest anything you want.
