  Welcome to Real Talk for Real Life.

  Realizing everyone is always learning and 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 Season 1, Episode 7.
• 0:21
  Yes, the devil is busy, but I'm busier.
• 0:26
  All right, let's go ahead and say it like we said, the devil is busy.
• 0:31
  And if you grew up like I did, you already know what that means.
• 0:35
  Drama popping up out of nowhere, bad news hitting back to back,
• 0:41
  confusion, distractions, delays.
• 0:45
  It's like the moment you get focused, something tries to throw you off.
• 0:50
  But let me upgrade that for you real quick. Yes, the devil is busy, but I'm busier.
• 0:58
  See, the problem is too many people stop at the devil is busy and then they sit in it.
• 1:05
  They talk about it. They dwell on it. They let it slow them down.
• 1:11
  Meanwhile, I've got work to do.
• 1:14
  I've got goals to hit. I've got discipline to maintain.
• 1:19
  I've got a life to build. I don't have time to be distracted by every disruption.
• 1:26
  Let's be clear.
• 1:28
  Distractions will come. Setbacks will happen.
• 1:33
  Things won't always go your way. But you get to decide, do I pause my progress
• 1:40
  or do I push through anyway?
• 1:43
  There's a meme that says, when my feet hit the floor in the morning,
• 1:47
  the devil says, oh, no, she's up.
• 1:50
  And listen, I felt that because when you are focused, disciplined,
• 1:57
  grounded in your faith, you become a problem for anything trying to stop you.
• 2:04
  And here's where my faith kicks in heavy, because I don't just move off motivation.
• 2:10
  I move off knowing. knowing that no weapon formed against me shall prosper.
• 2:20
  So yes, things may form.
• 2:23
  Distractions may show up. Pressure may hit. But prosper? Not over here.
• 2:31
  So instead of waking up worried about what might go wrong, I wake up with intention.
• 2:39
  I wake up ready. I wake up already knowing whatever comes today, I'm equipped for it.
• 2:48
  Because being busy isn't about chaos.
• 2:52
  It's about being intentional with your energy.
• 2:55
  I'm busy protecting my peace, executing my goals, staying aligned,
• 3:03
  and not entertaining nonsense.
• 3:05
  So no, I don't deny that things happen.
• 3:10
  But I also don't give it more attention than it deserves because at the end
• 3:15
  of the day, what I focus on grows.
• 3:20
  And I refuse to grow distraction, drama, doubt.
• 3:26
  I'm too busy building. So here's your fearless homework.
• 3:30
  This week, we're not getting distracted. We're getting intentional.
• 3:36
  Number one, identify your biggest distraction.
• 3:41
  What consistently throws you off track? Be honest. Write it down.
• 3:48
  Number two, create a busy doing better plan.
• 3:52
  Replace distraction with action. For example, instead of scrolling, move your body.
• 3:59
  Instead of overthinking, execute one task.
• 4:04
  Number three, start your day with intention. Before your feet hit the floor,
• 4:09
  say, I'm focused, I'm covered, I'm moving forward.
• 4:15
  Number four, check yourself in real time. When something tries to throw you
• 4:22
  off, ask, is this worth my energy or is this a distraction?
• 4:27
  And act accordingly. Because the goal isn't to avoid everything,
• 4:32
  it's to stay locked in despite everything.
• 4:36
  And remember, yes, the devil may be busy, but I'm busier.
• 4:42
