  uh i was born in puerto rico which
• 0:30
  we always have some good weather um you
• 0:33
  know you could sign time of the year yeah you could get your 70s 80s and 90s
• 0:38
  but it's a little bit you know balanced so coming to united states living here
• 0:43
  in this beautiful new york city we got the four seasons and spring is not my
• 0:48
  friend sometimes and once every couple of years,
• 0:51
  my immune system takes a shot with the spring so don't mind me if i sound a
• 0:55
  little bit stuffy a little bit more raspier which sometimes it's not a bad thing
• 1:00
  but hey listen maybe we do it on this podcast we got another motivational little
• 1:06
  pep talk once again as of last week your boy.
• 1:12
  Deconstructing topic podcast has transcended because that's the word in this
• 1:17
  podcast in this episode we are transcending to new heights and sometimes in
• 1:23
  life we know if we're gonna transcend And once again,
• 1:26
  feel free to hit the like button, share.
• 1:29
  All that good stuff could be definitely going to transcend.
• 1:31
  And if you're listening to this and you feel like you're down and out and you
• 1:35
  need a little motivation, I always say.
• 1:38
  And many times I have said. When it comes to motivation, there's people that believe.
• 1:43
  Hey, listen, Jim Rohn said, hey, motivation is a myth.
• 1:47
  We need discipline. We just need to get up and do it. And that's why I created this podcast.
• 1:52
  And as of last week we are transcending and
• 1:56
  i told people and i did a podcast early
• 1:59
  where i needed to address a couple of dark cloud
• 2:03
  that's hanging over my head there's one cloud that i'm at the moment currently
• 2:07
  addressing uh it's a little bit personal but guess what i'm gonna start sharing
• 2:11
  some of my personal life on this podcast and throughout the platform because
• 2:17
  sometimes you need to learn each other you need to learn a little bit from each other,
• 2:21
  And ever since I said I'm going to transcend,
• 2:26
  It's like out of nowhere Boom, people are inviting me to do podcasts Whether
• 2:31
  we're talking wrestling, politics
• 2:33
  We're talking cartoons, gaming and all that And sometimes I have to kind of
• 2:37
  cancel a couple of people out there Because hey, your boy has a regular job,
• 2:43
  I'm not going to say a regular job I love what I do, I love what I do.
• 2:49
  But, you know, this 9 to 5 kind of thing, you know what I mean?
• 2:53
  Actually, I'm a little bit earlier than that.
• 2:55
  But, you know, it's a little bit tasking, if you will.
• 2:59
  But there's no excuse as there are times that I'm going to try to devote.
• 3:04
  And when I said that I'm going to transcend, once again, these things started
• 3:09
  to come in. These opportunities started to open the doors.
• 3:11
  So, hopefully, those people out there that are inviting me to different podcasts
• 3:16
  to talk a little bit, I got you. are we making it happen for sure,
• 3:22
  and I want people and I want a lot of my what I consider my legendary people
• 3:27
  that are listening if you're listening to out there you need that little pep
• 3:30
  talk just close your eyes and say it to myself say it to yourself,
• 3:34
  what is that word, what is that thing what is it that you need,
• 3:38
  again we're going to start with discipline we're going to start with like waking
• 3:42
  up and hey so we're transcending,
• 3:47
  and we need to feel like if we're gonna transcend to another level because sometimes
• 3:52
  people to be honest a lot of people and a lot of people that i'm surrounded
• 3:57
  they're not ready to become their best version but they're just ready to get
• 4:03
  on to the next level by all means i'm with that.
• 4:08
  If you want to get to level 10 you know for those people out there that uh kind
• 4:12
  of play video games or what not, you know, you're levering up,
• 4:14
  let's say 10 would be that, you know,
• 4:17
  the top, the best, and you want to get, start level zero, then level one,
• 4:22
  level two, level three, level four, it becomes a little bit more difficult, but I'm with that,
• 4:30
  see if you want to address certain things in life.
• 4:35
  It's different levels that you want to get to don't mind
• 4:39
  me i just took a little shug of honey yes honey is always a good thing make
• 4:43
  sure that people out there if you're not allergic to bees uh drink some of that
• 4:48
  honey is good for your soul especially if it's real honey and it fights all
• 4:53
  that good stuff so i'm over here trying to not try to take the meds while i'm doing this,
• 5:00
  i'm trying to get that little aloe whatever uh honey all that good stuff all
• 5:05
  that natural stuff let's get it because that's once again i need to level up
• 5:11
  you see we're gonna fluctuate,
• 5:16
  sometimes it's gonna be one minute we're gonna feel good one day
• 5:19
  we're gonna feel like ultimate good as you
• 5:21
  listen to this you probably like yeah god yeah david i just that i'm lacking
• 5:25
  something i'm i'm not sure what's going on you know always an issue and that's
• 5:32
  the other thing too in life for those that are out there and obviously listening let's make it happen,
• 5:40
  is that the fact is that every time that you're going to start to do something,
• 5:45
  that's going to help you get to that next level something happens that's family
• 5:50
  there's something financial something this and all that we all been there You
• 5:54
  know, we've all been there.
• 5:57
  How many times that's going to happen? How many times you're going to allow
• 6:00
  yourself to be hold back to like, ah.
• 6:05
  You know, sometimes in life, what it is is that we give too much.
• 6:08
  We have too many options for us not to do anything, right?
• 6:12
  It's funny how when we get stuck in these little ruts, or these little physical,
• 6:19
  mentally, physically, whatever, spiritually, When we get stuck It's interesting
• 6:24
  how we have more options To not do what we need to do.
• 6:30
  In other words We're always going to be like Today is rainy So today is this
• 6:36
  And next week is that It's always these little excuses And again that's life,
• 6:44
  But just don't go out there And then you wake up And you be like that man,
• 6:49
  You're feeling like that something is holding something is holding me back i
• 6:53
  don't know when i decided that on april 7th i had that mark and i want people
• 7:00
  to also do that just mark something in the calendar mark,
• 7:05
  get something again i'm not saying let's say use a name or an event or something
• 7:11
  to motivation but just a reminder hey listen today i'm at level three i want
• 7:16
  to get to level four tomorrow.
• 7:21
  What is that one word what is that one event what is something where i'm gonna
• 7:26
  transcend to that next level that's gonna be like ah.
• 7:31
  Because a lot of times uh the the lack of motivation or at least what it is,
• 7:38
  is sometimes we tend to kind
• 7:41
  of think of a situation that did us wrong that
• 7:44
  hurt us that whatever it is and we
• 7:47
  don't flip it and be like but what what
• 7:50
  did we learn and i'm dealing with uh
• 7:53
  with a one of these uh dark clouds that
• 7:56
  i've mentioned on my podcast i'm at the
• 7:58
  moment currently dealing with a couple of things personal i'm definitely going
• 8:03
  to open up because hey listen my podcast is my life basically and i want people
• 8:08
  to learn um i want to be transparent and And there's a couple of things that
• 8:13
  I'm addressing at the moment that kind of I felt like it was holding me back.
• 8:17
  But then I started to flip on and be like, huh, what am I learning? What did I learn?
• 8:28
  Sometimes you question relationships, friendships. Sometimes you question a
• 8:33
  lot of things, what you do at work, what you don't do at work.
• 8:36
  But just grab something that we learned, something positive,
• 8:39
  something to be grateful.
• 8:41
  If we are transcending To that next step That's one thing And one thing that
• 8:47
  I've always said Is that we gotta be grateful for something We gotta grab something
• 8:51
  that We wake up in the morning You waking up in the morning Breathing,
• 8:56
  I'm grateful for that.
• 8:59
  If you out there just trying to like Hey listen David I just can't seem to find
• 9:03
  anything Because I'm dealing with a physical situation I get it.
• 9:10
  But for every person that you could say, and now everybody's different.
• 9:17
  If they just say that you're dealing with this medical issue,
• 9:20
  I will guarantee I'll find somebody with the same medical issue.
• 9:23
  Or even worse, who just happened to find a day or something to be grateful.
• 9:28
  And I'm not trying to say it because everybody's different.
• 9:32
  There's a lot of people out there that knows that they eat junk.
• 9:35
  There's a lot of people out there that just be like, damn man, this is all I do.
• 9:41
  One of the things that I'm addressing
• 9:44
  And I like to talk about I do have a little bit of How can I say it?
• 9:49
  I get a little bit anxious when I travel When I take the train When I take in
• 9:53
  a car I was in a car accident, right?
• 9:55
  20 years ago or so So when I'm in a car And I'm in a highway I don't drive But
• 10:03
  let's say if I decide to take a cab Or somebody's driving me I get a little
• 10:08
  bit anxious The trains Sometimes,
• 10:10
  when it goes on delays and when I get a little bit like feeling I have no control,
• 10:16
  it's, they just say that, you know, my body tends to kind of, you know,
• 10:22
  like I'm feeling a little bit anxious.
• 10:27
  Then when I feel anxious, then my stomach, then I'm going to feel like I'm just
• 10:30
  going to crap on myself, basically.
• 10:34
  Yeah, people are like, damn, that's a little personal. But, you know,
• 10:38
  I'm over here opening up so people could understand.
• 10:41
  Because one of the rules that I always understood when it comes to motivating
• 10:46
  or at least trying to help people.
• 10:49
  Is that you need to be a little bit transparent to tell those stories.
• 10:53
  And sometimes believe it or not that i've met a couple of people who you know
• 10:58
  like to kind of maintain their things you know not share a lot of personal things
• 11:03
  on their life which is that's fine,
• 11:05
  i mean i'm i'm you know i'm one of
• 11:08
  those that hey listen don't tell everybody everything you do you know
• 11:10
  but one of those things
• 11:13
  that i've learned is that there's been a couple of occasions
• 11:16
  with those people who have opened
• 11:19
  up you know to somebody else and hey listen uh you
• 11:22
  know i like to do this and you know whatever the case and then
• 11:25
  that other person like wow i did not know that about
• 11:28
  you thank you for the advice i probably
• 11:31
  would you know when the next time i travel i'm gonna consider that but you see
• 11:35
  how that those things work and how sometimes even sharing your stories could
• 11:40
  actually help somebody i mean with the situation that i'm dealing with that's
• 11:46
  One of the reasons I did the podcast is like, hey, listen,
• 11:50
  I want to open up and tell the world what happened.
• 11:52
  It's this crazy story out there, a little bit of drama, a little something there
• 11:56
  that it was taking a toll on me.
• 11:59
  And I decided I got to address it in order for me to move up to the next level.
• 12:04
  And this goes for everybody. A lot of people need to understand this.
• 12:08
  If you're going to transcend to that next level, you have to kind of address
• 12:14
  certain things that you need to address.
• 12:20
  And one of the things that I've learned with individuals is that that's basically
• 12:25
  one of the factors that makes you not want to do that thing that's going to
• 12:29
  take you to the next level.
• 12:31
  Because you're not addressing this. You're not addressing that.
• 12:33
  Remember, a lot of things that are physically are always mentally as well.
• 12:43
  And one of the things that we always deal with as people, as humans,
• 12:47
  is that we are our own worst enemy.
• 12:50
  We deal with our own, how can I say, kind of habits.
• 13:00
  Again, I know a lot of people that want to get into this gym thing and work out and lose weight.
• 13:07
  One of the things I tell people, don't look at it going to the gym because you
• 13:11
  want to lose weight. Look at it that you just want to work out because it's good.
• 13:14
  You want to stay active. You want to do that.
• 13:18
  Because if the mindset of you let's say for
• 13:20
  those people that say hey listen i i want to
• 13:23
  lose 15 pounds in the next couple of months if you
• 13:27
  don't lose 15 pounds let's say you only lost one pound and let's say that one
• 13:34
  month and a half what you're gonna do you're gonna feel this garbage why not
• 13:38
  look at it this way just when you go to the gym just go to the gym and work
• 13:43
  out Don't worry about the losing weight.
• 13:45
  Don't put a lot of pressure on yourself to do that.
• 13:50
  Think about your eating habits as well. Think about your habits in general.
• 13:58
  And for me you know i i enjoy going to the gym but i can i be better absolutely,
• 14:03
  that's one of my uh some of my bad habits you know get the best out of me absolutely,
• 14:09
  you know i'm a little uh social butterfly you know people be
• 14:11
  like hey listen you want to have a drink sure and a
• 14:15
  drink that goes to like from one drink to like five six drinks then the next
• 14:20
  day i wake up like oh i still manage to kind of wake up and do a little something
• 14:25
  but not as best as i can and hey listen i'm i'm i'm one to say hey i'm telling
• 14:32
  you that if you're gonna transcend,
• 14:35
  even myself i'm gonna tell you that hey
• 14:37
  i also i'm dealing
• 14:40
  with certain habits certain things that you know when
• 14:44
  i'm networking for my podcast and so on and ever since i said you know and i
• 14:48
  said it that every time or ever since i said i'm gonna transcend or i started
• 14:53
  to feel transcending People are inviting me People are sending texts People
• 14:58
  are doing this And I'm like Ah there's a little Positive thing going on That's cool.
• 15:04
  But that's part of Transcending Is that hey listen If you're gonna transcend To that next level,
• 15:10
  You gotta be about it You gotta be about it You know what I mean,
• 15:16
  Don't say it Don't think Just be about it Just do it Once you start doing it,
• 15:21
  Then write down The stuff that you do See the thing is this and this is beautiful
• 15:24
  a lot of times we're trying to manifest something and we write it down and that's
• 15:29
  great that's i always say that's great writing your goals what is it that you
• 15:33
  want what is it that you want to do that's great there are some people that you know have a,
• 15:40
  little uh notebook that they want to write things and they like they write it
• 15:44
  there's some people that just don't write it,
• 15:49
  But one of the things that I would have said Is that you know what A practice
• 15:55
  would be write down what you did If you went to the gym Hey I went to the gym
• 15:59
  today I feel good I did 30 minutes,
• 16:01
  Yes we all want to have a plan We all want to have goals We all want to write down that.
• 16:10
  Unless you're gonna put a check monitor on it hey i gotta go
• 16:13
  i did this i went to the gym check but write
• 16:16
  down the stuff that you did matter of fact for those people that don't like
• 16:20
  to write whatever it is journal whatever it is that you want to do even on your
• 16:27
  computer on a spreadsheet on the next 10 15 days just write down and do and
• 16:34
  just put down what you did,
• 16:35
  and so you can start to learn oh how is this monday different than this monday,
• 16:40
  What I did Sunday, that made my Monday good.
• 16:43
  What I did this Sunday, that I woke up Monday.
• 16:45
  You know, Monday for those people, for the most part, that works Monday through
• 16:48
  Friday. You know, Monday, it's a little hard.
• 16:52
  Hey, I say, for me, Monday, I dread little Mondays, to be honest with you.
• 16:57
  Sometimes I dread it because, hey, listen, when it comes to football season, you already know.
• 17:02
  I'm enjoying, you know, the good drinks, the good food. And you know wake up that Monday kind of like,
• 17:12
  But what makes Let's say something Sunday That you did something different That
• 17:18
  you woke up Monday like Wow I feel like a champion let's go.
• 17:25
  That's my thing on that situation Is that if we are going to transcend You know
• 17:31
  make sure that when you transcend,
• 17:33
  Make sure that you address these little situations these
• 17:36
  little habits that you got that is holding you down that is like ah because
• 17:40
  in order for us to transcend we need
• 17:43
  to kind of address that
• 17:47
  thing you know address those little things address you
• 17:51
  know the elephant in the room or you say to yourself
• 17:54
  if i am my worst enemy how can i be my be my
• 17:57
  best friend at the same time that's addressing
