Speaker 1 (00:48):
And just like that, it's the last day of March
in twenty twenty five. It stands out to me because
next month that's my birth month, April. And I was
thinking this morning and plus I came across this post
on ig It was from nas Or a masterclass and
(01:14):
he said you already know what to do, because it's
in you. He talked about the fact of how you
can't listen and wait for somebody else to tell you
what to do, because then you start getting confused. But
no matter if you try to ignore what it is
that you want to do because you done say, oh,
I'm not prepared, I'm not qualified. You gotta trust your intuition,
(01:37):
trust that thought process that comes to your mind to
know that you already got what it takes. You just
got to do. I know I didn't mean to go
in that hard, but I just started to think about
so many of us have all of these amazing dreams
and aspirations about career, about health, about love, about business,
(02:00):
about philanthropy, invention, writing a book. I don't know what
it is, but we all have these dreams and aspirations,
and we sit there and we prolong the process because
we feel as though we don't have what it takes.
Who are we waiting on to dictate how great that
we are? Come on? Come on? It makes me think
(02:24):
of Eminem right here, right now. I didn't even plan this.
I am whoever I say I am. If I wasn't,
then while would I say I am what Come on,
who do you say that you are? I am whole?
And he went on to talk about how there's so
(02:46):
much power in our tongue. Life and death are in
the power of the tongue. He talked about how you
gotta protect yourself with your words. Don't speak anything that
you don't want to happen, and only speak what you
do want to happen. The universe is listening. You gotta
(03:07):
start convincing yourself what it is that you say that
you want. You gotta hear now your ear is like
an embryo. The first time I ever heard that was
from Russell Simmons book Do You, And it stood out
to me. Remember, eat the meat, spit out the bone, okay, uh?
What you put in your ear gross? And it resonated,
(03:29):
like I think. There's so many ways to receive messages
and words and things like that. And sometimes your parent
can say one thing, but you don't get it into
your teacher does, or your friend or your girlfriend or
one of your homies. You just hear it differently. And
that's my thing. Even when you think about religion and relationship,
I oftentimes feel that no I feel that religion when
(03:52):
focusing on that they're saying that is the only way
to have this connection with God, and God always said relationship.
That's a caveat. Let me keep going. So if our
ear is like an embryom, we hear these things about
speaking affirmation. Why wouldn't you protect yourself with your mouth?
If you know that you were created by a creator,
(04:14):
created to create, Why wouldn't you trust already was inside
of you confidence or lack thereof. And all confidence is
stating is that I know, and you'll know the truth
by the way that it feels. You'll know the truth
because there isn't confusion. I was at a gig the
(04:36):
other day. I'm talking to a coworker. She said, Dawn,
I'm a smart woman. I consider myself very intelligent. She said.
If someone or something comes about me and there's a
lot of confusion, I don't have time to waste to
go back and forth. I just let it go because
(05:00):
you know who you are. You ain't no damn fool.
Don't play with me, play with yourself, and don't allow
others to play in your face. Come on. And I
stood back and I thought about it, and I think
of different situations and experiences or different environments, interactions with
certain people when there was confusion, it wasn't it because
(05:25):
you know the truth. You know when it's right, you
know it immediately. It's like that. I mean you think
about it. Miracles and life can change in an instant.
Why wouldn't that go across the board. I'm just saying,
you know the truth by the way that it feels.
So when I think back to what NA said and said,
(05:47):
you already know what to do, it's time to do it.
Because remember when we were kids, the summer scenes as
though it lasted forever, and then as each year went
by and it took a minute for me to get
to whatever age, I was like, dang, that was last year. Wow,
(06:10):
that happened fast. And I mean, think about it. Even
on your tombstone what they say the story is in
the dash is going by and a dash. But perhaps
we need to be more present and feel what it
is right now, live take a chance. Stop taking so
(06:30):
much time to play back and forth of how something
is supposed to happen and what it is if it
doesn't happen. How about we learn the process now. If
you've been listening for a minute, you know I've always
talked about my old barber, Louis T. Powell. He says,
the journey is the experience, and the experience is the journey.
(06:50):
It ain't a destination, baby, so stop putting a period.
Whether it's a comma, hey, you better catch it because
it's hot. All right. I'm stepping into the new year.
I'm excited. I hope you are too, And I just
want to put forth abundance and greatness over your life.
(07:13):
I want you to just speak nothing but positivity. I
want you to take the good with the bad and
just to be in the now that everything is helping
you and working for your greater good because you're learning
how to take the next step, the next step. Now
you're jogging, Now you're running, Now you're sprinting. You are going,
(07:33):
and we only can go by doing right. We gotta do.
So that's what I got for you. Okay. So if
you enjoyed this episode, if you want to hear more,
