Welcome to Real Talk for Real Life, realizing everyone is always learning and
0:07
living your full experience.
0:10
This is where we live out loud on purpose and with purpose.
0:15
I'm Coach C, your host, and this is episode one of my bonus season, I got to because I get to.
0:23
Listen, somewhere along the way, we started talking about our lives like they
0:28
were a burden we got stuck with.
0:30
I gotta go to work. I gotta take care of these kids.
0:34
I gotta go to the gym. I gotta deal with this. I gotta handle that.
0:40
And before you even move, you're already tired.
0:44
Not because of the task, but because of the language. because I gotta feels like pressure.
0:51
It feels like weight. It feels like something being done to you instead of something flowing through you.
0:58
But today we shift in that.
1:01
Not tomorrow, not next week, today.
1:04
Because what if I gotta became I get to?
1:09
Now don't just hear it, feel it. I get to go to work. means doors open for you
1:16
that didn't open for everybody.
1:18
I get to take care of my kids means you were trusted with the responsibility that actually matters.
1:25
I get to work out means your body still answers when you call it.
1:30
I get to wake up and show up today means you were given another shot that somebody else didn't get.
1:37
And that's the part right there. We move through life so fast we forget access is a privilege.
1:46
Because the truth is, some of the things you're complaining about today,
1:50
you once cried over, you once prayed over, you once begged God for.
1:56
And now, because it's familiar, you treat it like it's heavy.
2:01
Pause. Let that sit.
2:04
You prayed for the job, now you're dragging into it.
2:08
You prayed for the relationship, now you irritated inside it.
2:12
You prayed for the opportunity, now you're overwhelmed by it.
2:17
And I'm not saying it's easy. Let's be clear, life will life.
2:23
Responsibilities are real. Pressure is real, but so is this.
2:28
You don't get to ignore the blessing just because it requires something from you.
2:32
See I got to sounds like survival
2:36
but I get to that sounds like purpose
2:39
that sounds like alignment that sounds like somebody who understands this ain't
2:44
random because when you shift that language you shift your posture you stop
2:50
dragging your life and you start standing in it now you're not resentful. You're intentional.
2:58
Now, you're not rushing through the moments. You're recognizing them.
3:02
Now, you're not just existing. You're experiencing. And let me say this real clear.
3:09
Everything you get to today, somebody else didn't wake up to it.
3:14
Somebody else is in a hospital bed wishing they could do the very thing you're complaining about.
3:19
Somebody else is praying for the opportunity you're overlooking.
3:24
So don't let familiarity turn into entitlement. Don't let routine rob you of reverence.
3:30
Because this life is not something you just have to get through.
3:35
It's something you get to walk through.
3:37
Here's your fearless homework. Today we interrupt the pattern.
3:41
Every time you say, I gotta, catch it. Pause.
3:46
Correct it. I get to. And don't just say it out your mouth.
3:51
Let it drop into your spirit. Let it shift your energy. Let it check your attitude.
3:56
Let it remind you, I'm not stuck. I'm chosen to experience this moment.
4:02
Because when you understand what you get to do, you move different.
4:07
You show up different. You live different.
4:10
And that right there, that's not just a mindset shift.
4:14
That's a life shift. this is real talk where we're realizing everyone is always
4:21
learning and living your full experience this is coach c i'll see you in the next one.
