• 2:07
  Speaker 1: bottom of my heart. Now, if you know, you know,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: one of the things I do on the podcast each
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: and every week is I want to pour back into
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: you and, uh, I want to do that by making
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: a deposit into the bank of you and do that
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: by way of affirmations. Affirmations are a great way to
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: start your day and to command your morning. And this
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: week's affirmation is, I will read the vision until I
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: can hear it, believe it, and live it. I will
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: read the vision until I can hear it, believe it,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: and live it. I will read the vision until I
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: can hear it, believe it, and live it. Now, let's
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: get ready for this week's episode of the Your Enriched
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Self podcast. You know, I've been on my journey to
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: become enriched and For a while there, I was on track.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: I felt like I had a handle on all that
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: I was doing. And then life happened. And it felt
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: like I came off track a little bit. And then
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: life happened again. And I came off track a little bit.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: And I think you get what I'm saying. You get
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: where I'm going. You get where I've been. And oftentimes
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: when you get there, there are times when you think,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Should I really continue to pursue what I had set
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: out to pursue? And what I realize is when people
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: say keep your eyes on the prize, I know it
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: sounds cliche, but it truly is what needs to happen.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: What happens is we take our eyes off the prize.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's just the reality of it. But let
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: me go a step deeper. Everyone has a vision, even
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: if you did not write down the vision. You have
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: an idea of how you wanted your life to be.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: You can talk to and you've seen interviews with people
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: who were, you know, who are homeless on the street.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: You've seen interviews with people on their deathbed. You've seen
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: interviews with people alive and working. And everyone had a dream.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: It wasn't just Martin Luther King. Everyone had a dream
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: about how they thought their lives would be. Even a
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: family of five, when you talk to the mom and dad,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: each member, leader of that family, mom and dad, had
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: a dream. A single mother had a dream. A single
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: father had a dream. Someone who is widowed had a dream.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: And it goes on and on. We all live this life,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: set things up, And we are dreaming to some extent.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: But what I understand from my journey, and I implore
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: you to look through the files of your journey, is
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: that your dream, it was not deferred. Your dream is
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: not dead. Your dream is unread. There's a scripture in
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: the Bible that says, write the vision and make it plain.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: And I remember writing my vision and I remember making
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: it plain, but I didn't read my vision. I didn't
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: continue to read my vision. And I think where we
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: miss the eyes on the prize is we miss the
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: opportunity to read that vision, remind ourselves. of why we
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: started and what we're doing this for and who we are.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Because in that vision is an identity marker. It lets
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: you know who you are. It lets you understand why
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: you are unfolding and becoming the person you are. And
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: so I challenge you because the word of God also says,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: faith comes by hearing. hearing the word of God. I
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: think in our lives to have faith and hope in
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: what we're doing, we have to hear what we're doing.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: And so that means that vision has to be read
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: out loud. You need to hear it to understand it.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: You need to hear it to feel it. You need
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: to hear it to see it, like visually see it.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: You need to hear it to believe in it. That's
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: where your faith grows and what you're doing. You know
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: that although you're not seeing the full outcome and the
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: full output, you're not relying on seeing everything to know
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: that it's happening. You know it's happening because you envisioned it.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: You created it. You're discussing it. That's what you get
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: to do. That's what you are doing. And that's powerful.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: That's absolutely powerful. And so if you have a vision
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: for your life and you wrote it down and you
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: have it shelved in a journal, you have it on
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: a vision board, but you haven't discussed it. You haven't
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: put yourself in proximity to understand what it's going to
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: take to execute it. You haven't been reviewing it and
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: potentially even revising it if you see new opportunities because
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: you're living more, you're learning more, you're laughing more, you're
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: loving more in this life. Your work this week is
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: to go out. And if you don't have a vision,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: I encourage you to create one. But we all must
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: take what we have created, what we have envisioned, and
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: you got to start reading it. You got to start
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: putting it in your daily habits. Here's one thing I'm
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: going to do to make sure it, and I did
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: this before and I think I lost track of it. Again,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: keeping your eyes on the prize. I'm going to get
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: that vision and record it in my voice memos and
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: listen to it. On days when I don't feel like it,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: on days when I know I should not trust my
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: feelings about it, on days when I feel like, why
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: am I doing it? I remind myself of how passionately
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: I felt, how passionately I spoke, how encouraged I was
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: when I started the journey. I want you to stay
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: encouraged and it's going to take your own voice, your
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: own sound to give it life, to build the legacy
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: that you want. to help you gather your learnings, to
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: pour into it, to live it, and to lean into
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: it with all you have. Because that's all we have.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Our vision is all we have. There's so many tangible
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: things in this life that can be taken away from you,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: but your vision is something no one can. Now, there
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: are external factors that make us feel like that vision
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: is out of reach, out of place, out of touch.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: not for us. But the truth is, if you created
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: it in your mind, you did it with a creator.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: We were created by a creator to be creative. So
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: it came from a place and it needs to go someplace.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: and you are that vehicle. So I need you to
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: rev up your engines and let's go. Wait, wait, before
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: you leave, I have a challenge for you. Yes, it
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: is still a good time of year to jump into
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: the challenge. I don't want you to wait until the
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: end of the year. I don't want you to feel
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: the regret and the burden of regret. This is a
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: really good time right now. Here's what I want to
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: close this episode out with. I want you to take
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: the vision you created this year. At some point in
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: this year, whether it was early this year or at
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: some point you created a vision. Perhaps you even have
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: a vision, vision board, a vision exercise that you did.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: I want you to go grab that. I want you
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: to find it. I want you to put your hands
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: on it. Here's what I want you to do. This
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: is the challenge. I want you to now read it.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: And if you have to read it every day, if
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: you have to pull it up and put it before
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: your eye gates, I need you to read it every day.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: I need you to consequently hear it every day. I
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: want you to understand it. Look forward. Through the images,
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: if you have images, look at those words and the
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: definition of those words. I want you to feel it.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: I want you to believe it, right? Belief systems, I've
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: always said, are an accumulation of the thoughts that we
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: have collected and we have kept and managed through reading it,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: hearing it, understanding it, feeling it. And that creates your belief.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: Then I want you to live it. I want you
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: to take how it made you feel, how it's making
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: you feel, what you believe about who you are becoming
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: through that vision and take actions, take steps, make a move,
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: change your life. It's not too late. You are becoming
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: the person who can live this. And this is what
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: it's going to take to do that. I hope you
