Dr. Shon shares her commitment to consistency on day 15 of her challenge despite not feeling motivated, explaining that consistency must override feelings when pursuing meaningful goals. The Hood to Hooded podcast continues exploring Brian Tracy's book "Eat That Frog" with a focus on developing urgency and single-handling tasks.
• Consistency requires showing up regardless of how you feel
• High performers develop a sense of urgency rather than procrastinating
• Getting into "flow state" makes work effortless and productive
• Self-discipline is the fundamental building block for success and achievement
• Social media acts like "sugar for the brain" - addictive but empty of substance
• Nearly 50% of teens believe social media damages youth mental health
• Regular consumption of sugary drinks increases oral cancer risk by 23%
• Self-love means not requiring external validation to feel whole
• You don't need to be perfect to be powerful - consistency matters more
Join us tomorrow as we begin our next book, "Never Eat Alone," focusing on relationship building and networking. Remember to brush, floss, and hydrate your teeth tonight!
Thanks for listening and growing with me on this journey towards the ultimate level of success. #Hood2hooded #drshon #drshonconsistencyproject #consistencyproject

Speaker 1 (00:03):
Yo, yo, welcome back.

I see your way.
I see your money G, I see yourway.
How y'all feeling.
(00:28):
In hood to hooded podcast lane,this is Dr Sean, aka Dr Truth
and Sunflower back with anothervideo.
No excuses, just discipline,baby.
This is day 15 of me showing upconsistently.
Honestly, guys, I did not wantto show up today.
I am here because I am on amission to just get consistency
embedded into my DNA.
That's why we show up hereevery night and we push the Hood
(00:49):
to Hooded Consistency Project.
When you have a decision to beconsistent, it stops being about
your feelings.
You show up because you saidyou would.
You show up because this issomething you really want to do.
People quit on their dreams notbecause they're not talented.
They quit because they justdon't feel like doing it.
No more.
They're tired.
(01:09):
Life be, life in the energybelow, but the consistency
doesn't care about none of that.
It reminds me a bit in dentalschool.
If you didn't show up, somebodyelse is right there to take
your spot.
If this is something that youwant, whatever your dream is,
your goal is tonight, you gottaknock it out the ballpark
without any excuses, consistencyover feelings.
(01:30):
I show up exhausted, raw butready.
I'm ready for the night, I'mready for the stream, because
that's how winners move.
Like we don't make excuses, myniji, no excuses are allowed.
If you're tired, you're notalone.
If you ever doubted your pace,you are not alone.
If you ever doubted your pace,you are not alone.
I feel you, but we got to showup anyways.
The day that you show up mightbe the day that you change your
(01:53):
life.
Tonight we are diving into ourfirst segment, which is
finalizing the chapters of Eatthat Frog.
We've been trying to tackleprocrastination because I know
I'm not the only one who dealwith procrastinating about life
because life be lifin'.
You can get into the lazy modeand excuse bill lane real, real
(02:14):
quick, and we try to stay out ofthat lane.
I am here to help us elevateand stay on track when it comes
to living our best life.
We are on the last two chapters, guys.
If you don't know what I'mtalking about, then you can
catch the replays on the hood tothe podcast which is on all
podcast platforms chapter 20 and21.
(02:35):
This book has been so powerfuland I'm so excited to be done
with it.
Chapter 20 is one of the mostimportant chapters we will cover
and it's talking aboutdeveloping that sense of urgency
when it comes to your dreams.
Like how many of usprocrastinate when we know we
should be doing something and wedon't have the sense of urgency
.
We just go day after daythinking that we'll get it done
(03:00):
tomorrow, we'll get it donetomorrow.
Who else is out there like that?
In this, this chapter, it'sjust talking about action being
everything.
There is no perfect time to dosomething.
If you're waiting on theperfect time to make your dreams
come to life, you're gonna bewaiting forever because there
just isn't a perfect time.
One of the most outwardlyidentifiable qualities of
(03:23):
somebody who is a highperforming man or woman is being
action oriented.
They hurry to get their tasks,or their key tasks, done first.
First, they think about whatthey need to do.
Second, they plan it and thenthey set priorities.
We all about setting prioritiesand knocking out our major task
quickly.
(03:43):
Launch quick towards your goalsand objectives.
I agree with that.
When you move quickly, you buildmomentum and enter a flow.
That's the sweet spot wheretime disappears and everything
just clicks.
Compare this like a highperforming person, they're going
to go into action quick.
But the average person is goingto socialize.
(04:06):
You already know they're gonnawaste a lot of time and do a lot
of low value activities likewatching your favorite tv show.
Yes, that's okay sometimes, butyou, if you have a goal, you
don't have time to watch tv.
Getting into the flow when youget into the flow of things I
call this the cdp formula you'regonna have consistency,
discipline minus procrastinationand it's gonna equal like a
(04:29):
glow up.
For you, the state of flow isthe highest state of performance
or productivity.
It leaves you feeling elated,clear about everything and it
will be effortless.
You'll end up being happy,energized, energized, more
sensitive and aware of yourgoals when you get into this
flow because you're beingdisciplined and you will have
(04:49):
higher insight and intuition toguide you to do the right thing.
We all can use a little bitmore discipline and I'm totally
against procrastination.
That has been one of myweaknesses since I was young,
but I still managed to get adoctoral degree.
It wasn't easy.
Trigger high performance inyourself, the way that you
(05:11):
trigger a state of flow anddevelop a sense of urgency.
It will be like from your innerdrive or your desire.
What do you have a desire to do, because we are all in
competition with ourselves.
A lot of people think they'rein competition with other people
, but the real competition is inourselves.
It's all internal.
I know that the internet andsocial media have you thinking
(05:35):
that we're competing with people, but it's all inside of
ourselves.
Build up a sense of momentum,momentum principle of success
when you take continuous actionstowards your most important
goal.
Think about your most importantgoal right now.
Are you taking action on that?
I always mention dental schoolbecause dental school is one of
(05:57):
those things where you just youhave to sacrifice everything.
Your weekends, your nights,your mornings you sacrifice
everything.
Those are high.
Your mornings you sacrificeeverything.
Those are high performance.
Situations in dental school,right once we get into dental
school, is like it's non-stopfor four years.
If you slack off, you fail outand then your dream is over.
You have to have a tremendousenergy to start.
(06:19):
You need inertia.
You got to get over the inertialike that tremendous energy
that you need to start on yourgoal.
It takes less if you just keepgoing and you keep that momentum
.
The moment you stop, the momentyou get distracted, you may
have a relationship that'sdistracting you.
You might have some familyissues that might be distracting
.
You can have so manydistractions financial
(06:40):
distractions, mental healthdistractions.
Whatever it is that'sdistracting you is going to take
you off the path from your goal.
Right, but imagine if you couldstay positive and stay on route
to your goal.
Tune out all the extra noiseand the distractions.
You get more done.
You're going to have moreenergy.
You're going to learn more,have more experiences and be
(07:02):
more competent and capable.
It's all in your head.
We talk ourselves out of doingthings every single day.
But we have to get out of thatand just take action, and people
will talk you out of doingthings every day too.
When I wanted to open upmotivational dentistry dental
practice, people try to talk meout of doing it all the time.
They say they put a lot ofdoubt on your head.
How are you going to findpatients, what are you going to
(07:31):
do to find money and how you'regoing to do this?
Just do it.
Do it now.
In this chapter it says do itnow.
The simplest ways to getyourself started is to repeat
this phrase do it now.
Do it now.
When you wake up but you don'tfeel like doing it, your biggest
task is to say I'm gonna do itnow.
I gotta do it now, don't wait.
When I wanted this practiceopen, I did it now.
Don't wait.
When I wanted this practiceopen, I did it now.
I didn't wait.
I started looking for thebuilding, immediately Found a
building, met with the realtor,immediately Started talking
(07:52):
about the pricing and theequipment and all these
different things.
You got to do it now because ifyou wait, people will doubt you
out of your dreams because theydon't believe in themselves.
Have you found that people whodon't even dream, don't have any
goals, don't know what theirfuture holds, are always the
ones trying to talk you out ofyour dreams and goals?
Yeah, you got to stay away fromthose type of people.
(08:15):
Whenever you feel like you'reslowing down or you feel the
spirit of procrastination, likepulling you back towards being
lazy, you got to say back towork.
It's saying say back to work,let's get back to work.
Let's get back to work and doit and knock it out.
That's what we got to do.
That's all that chapter istalking about is just being in
(08:38):
alignment with yourself, havinga sense of urgency and doing
what you need to do to knock outyour goals.
Do it now, moving on to the lastchapter of the book, it says
single handle every task.
We've been talking about thisfor the whole book selecting
your most important task andstarting on that task and not
finishing until it's done,because if you do anything
(08:58):
that's of a less value, you'rewasting your time.
You're wasting your time.
Begin and complete it 100% byconcentrating.
Single mindedly reduces thetime required to complete your
task by 50 or more.
I am guilty of this.
I have to sit down and dodental claims right.
It's something that Iabsolutely dread doing.
(09:20):
This is why I went out ofnetwork with insurance, because
it's like you do the work andthen you have all this paperwork
left and I don't like that.
I got out of network, but Iwould sit down, not like doing
it.
Do a couple, come back to itand what happens is the tendency
to start.
Stop, pick it up, put it backdown increases your time to
(09:41):
complete the task by 500%.
That's crazy, because you haveto overcome the inertia again.
You have to develop thatmomentum that we talked about,
get back into your productiveflow, and that takes time and
energy and it's better just toknock out your goals and do it
completely.
Don't waste time Once youdecide your number one task.
(10:03):
Anything else is a waste oftime.
The more work you do, the morework you do on high value tasks
develops an efficiency curve.
So you become more intelligentand more efficient at the task
when you work on it consistentlyand you do it until it's done
Again.
Each time you break that cycle,you got to start back over.
(10:25):
Now for the last segment of thischapter, before we end our
reading of eat that frog.
It's talking aboutself-discipline.
Is the key?
Me showing up here on twitchevery night.
Guys, it's truly likeself-discipline.
Every night, I'm like dang.
I don't want to quit, though,because I've already started.
I have this momentum going soday.
(10:47):
I'm going to show up for 365days regardless, but it's that
self-discipline that I'membedding into my mind.
It's the consistency that I knowI lack.
I have the knowledge, I havethe degrees, but I don't have
consistency, so that don't meannothing.
If you have all these thingsand you can't be consistent, you
can't show up for yourself, andI know I did it before because
(11:15):
I did it in dental school.
But can we do this consistentlyevery day?
All right, when you haveself-discipline, this is the
ability to make yourself do whatyou should do.
Let's start it over, guys.
I want y'all to really get this.
Self-discipline is the abilityto make yourself do what you
should do when you should do it,whether you feel like it or not
.
If I know that we're trying tobe consistent and part of
(11:36):
consistency is just showing up,then I know I should do it.
So every night when I feel likedang, I don't want to do it
because I it's so much easier tojust lay down.
It's so much easier to just laydown.
It's so much easier to get cozyin my cover and snuggle up.
It's so much easier to watch myfavorite TV show and eat
something good and be lazy.
That's easy.
(11:57):
But it's not what I should dowhen I have a goal.
If I know I have a goal to beconsistency, then I just got to
show up.
If I don't feel like it, I justgot to do what I got to do In
dental school.
You study all day, all nightand, yeah, you don't feel like
it.
I just got to do what I got todo In dental school.
You study all day, all nightand, yeah, you don't want to do
it all the time, but you must dothis.
These are the requirements.
Whatever is a requirement inyour life to get to your goals,
(12:18):
just do it.
Success in any area requirestons of discipline.
If we don't take nothing elsefrom this book about
procrastination, success in anyarea requires tons of discipline
.
It doesn't say a little bit ofdiscipline.
It requires tons of discipline,the building blocks of
(12:40):
character and high performance.
If you want to be a highperformer, if you want to
elevate past, like that hood tohooded mindset I came from the
hood, right, if I know, I didn'twant to be in the hood forever
I must work on my character.
I must work on being a highperformer.
These aren't skills that Ilearned in the household.
Nobody ain't walking aroundtalking about hey, we're going
(13:01):
to work on your self-discipline.
Today, like, just be honest, wegrow up, get out of the house
and then it's to the workforceand every child, woman, man for
themselves.
When you come from poverty, Ijust had a different mindset.
I said I'm not going to fallfor that.
I really want to be a doctor.
I need self-discipline,self-mastery, self-control.
Okay, self-discipline,self-mastery and self-control.
(13:25):
This is something that peoplearen't just going to hand to you
.
These are things and skillsthat you have to go out and get
for yourself, without making noexcuses or complaining about it.
What is persistence?
Persistence is self-disciplineand action.
When you have persistence onyour goals, guess what happens
(13:45):
you feel better, you have moreself-esteem, you have more
self-respect.
And guess what?
You become A superior person inyour eyes.
Because, remember, we are ourown competition.
Nobody else is your competition.
You are your own competition.
Whatever you want in this life,go out and get it.
You're your own competition.
(14:06):
Whatever you want in this life,go out and get it.
You're your own competition.
Believe that.
I want to know, after you goback, if you listen to the
podcast or you just join it in.
This book had 21 principles,right, and I'm gonna just read
them out really quickly and Iwant you to think about which
principle hits hardest for you.
(14:27):
Number one set the table.
This means make your goalsclear.
Number two plan every day inadvance.
Number three apply the 80-20rule, so always concentrate your
effort on the top 20%.
Number four consider theconsequences if you don't do
what you're supposed to do.
Number five practice creativeprocrastination, meaning
procrastinate on low value shit.
(14:49):
Number six use the a, b, c, d,e method.
This is like putting a next toyour top priority task for the
day in, b next to not priority c, d delegate and e eliminate.
Number seven focus on your keyresult areas.
If you have a skill that youlack on that is a weakness like
(15:11):
me consistency focus on that.
Number eight apply the law ofthree.
Identify the three things youdo in your work that account for
90% of your contribution and dothat.
Number nine prepare thoroughlybefore you begin.
Number 10, take it one oilbarrel at a time.
That means just one step at atime.
Number 11, upgrade your keyskills, meaning be a lifelong
(15:35):
learner.
If you're watching a podcast orif you're following along, then
this is upgrading your keyskills.
Number 12, identify your keyconstraints.
What is holding you back fromyour goals?
What is that one thing that isconstraining you from completing
your goals?
Number 13, put pressure onyourself.
Number 14, motivate yourselfinto action.
(15:57):
15, technology is a terriblemaster, meaning that.
Don't let technology controlyou.
Don't spend six hours strollingwhen you could be doing six
hours of posting videos,creating a business, starting a
YouTube channel, reading a book.
Sixteen technology is awonderful servant.
Learn how to use technologyLike I use AI a lot in dentistry
(16:18):
.
Even with my podcast.
I use a lot of technology, butit doesn't control me.
Number seventeen focus yourattention, stop the
interruptions, stop thedistractions and get back focus.
Number 18 slice and dice thetask.
Number 19 create large chunksof time so that you can work on
(16:39):
your important tasks.
Number 20 develop a sense ofurgency, which is what we just
talked about.
And number 21 single handleevery task.
We're gonna do a mental healthand social media check-in on our
young adults and even someadults.
I found this really interestingarticle about how teens felt
(17:00):
like social media was damagingtheir mental health and I want
to bring this to the lightbecause I feel like it's the
same for all people on whatsocial media is doing to us when
we just like we just read about.
Don't let technology be yourmaster.
You want to be able to controlit.
This article social media andmental health it says the
(17:22):
surgeon general's report justrevealed that nearly 50 percent
of teens think social media isdamaging youth mental health.
Do y'all agree with that?
Do y'all feel like social mediais damaging youth mental health
and, if so, how?
I totally agree with it.
I'm very cautious about socialmedia nowadays just because I
(17:47):
know it can be toxic.
I find myself strollingsometimes.
That's why we set timers on ourphone and say, hey, you've been
strolling for an hour.
We need to put limits on thesethings, but kids don't have
those same limits, and if theparents are using the phones as
babysitters or just notcontrolling it, it can damage
(18:07):
the youth's mental healthbecause you don't really know
what they're watching or whothey're engaging with on social
media.
This article is saying thatsocial media is like sugar for
the brain it's addicting, butempty.
It's feeding the brain andcausing the hormones and the
dopamine to be released, butit's not filling us with
(18:29):
anything.
It's just causing thesetriggers that keep us trolling,
keep us like zombies on theInternet.
It's addicting and, it says, incomparison filters, the fear of
missing out, peer pressure.
It messes with identity,confidence and a peace of mind.
All of this from social mediaand these are this is
(18:51):
information coming from theteens, like they're worried
about their own mental health.
All of us need to be aware ofthis and don't get too wrapped
up on other people.
Remember we are our owncompetition.
Don't feel like you're missingout on anything.
Don't fall for peer pressureand know that you are beautiful
(19:11):
and strong within your own right, but it does mess with people's
identity.
Instagram is all aboutaesthetics and how you look, and
people flash money and cars andyou just have to know how to
discern that everything you seeonline is not real and it is not
always how it's seen.
People only post the good shit.
They don't post the negativity.
(19:31):
We want to keep our confidenceup, keep our peace of mind by
continuing to grow and get moreknowledge.
There is an emotionaldetachment.
Attention span has beenshortened.
It is an emotional attachment.
We become emotional attached topeople on the internet and then
it starts to make us want tojudge ourselves and we get into
(19:52):
a shell.
And there was even a study thatsaid the attention span is
maybe three seconds now.
So people only have theattention span of three seconds.
If anybody comes upon thispodcast and they stay, that
means you have a really goodattention span, because normally
it's like this, especially forthe young folks.
(20:13):
And then you see a lot ofbullying going on and then you
see people young peopleunaliving themselves because of
social media, because they feellike they can't live up to all
the beauty standards.
I'ma just be honest when I wasin high school, we didn't have
to worry about having the bestwig or makeup and all these
different things.
(20:34):
We just rock what we had.
But nowadays you gotta have thelace front, the right makeup.
Everything has to be perfect,especially for social media.
I want the young people to knowall of that is not necessarily
to be perfect, especially forsocial medias.
I want the young people to knowall of that is not necessarily
to be great.
Your confidence and how youidentify yourself and your peace
of mind comes from within.
(20:54):
I admit it even affects adultstoo.
It definitely affects adults.
A lot of adults have stoppedlearning.
They don't even do anything butstroll.
They go to work, go home andstroll they.
They're not creating, even ifthey are in poverty.
Even if it's like a check tocheck situation I come from the
hood it's still not like anurgency to get a different job
(21:15):
or to get that degree or tostart that business.
We're strolling all day killingour brain cells, all freaking
day.
So let me just say this to everyyoung person, even older people
tuning in you are enough.
You don't need to go viral tohave value.
The likes, the comments, thefollowers they don't define your
(21:36):
self-worth.
What defines your self-worth iswhat is inside.
That's why be optimistic.
I came from a place where Ididn't have pretty much anything
started from zero.
But guess what?
If you keep your mind clear andkeep working on your goals,
taking action, then you're, youwill eventually get there.
But if you allow social mediato trick you at your spot, then
(22:02):
you know you live with a life ofregrets.
Just know how valuable you are.
You see, across social media,kids can be mean.
I know, with this chocolateskin, this melanin I had before,
I realized I was kneezy.
I was really bullied becausethey teach the kids some kind of
way.
The caucasian kids already knowto bully you.
(22:23):
Even the other melanated kidsknow that.
Oh, you're the darkest one.
We're going to bully you.
That is a part of colonizationto bully us based on our skin.
Not knowing melanin is ourskin's defense system.
Baby, once I learned that, whatI love, the skin I'm in, love
(22:43):
it.
You can't trick me out of myspot.
I love it.
I love it.
We moving right along to ouroral hygiene moment, tonight
we're still honing in on oralcancer.
It's oral cancer awarenessmonth and I found another
(23:04):
article that I want us to justhit on real quick, like it's
about sugary drinks and oralcancer.
Oral cancer is on the rise,especially in young people.
Researchers found that 23%increased risk of oral cancer in
people who regularly drinksugar sweetened beverages.
(23:27):
This is sodas, energy drinks,sweet and nice teas and even
some fruit juices.
If you drink a lot of sugar, ofcourse we already know you can
get cavities, energy drinks,sweet and nice teas and even
some fruit juices.
If you drink a lot of sugar, ofcourse we already know you can
get cavities.
Of course we already know youcan get periodontal disease.
But did you know that you canget higher risk of oral cancer
just by having too much sugar inyour diet, too many sugary
(23:48):
drinks?
Here are 10 tips to help us staysafe and try to decrease that
risk of getting oral cancer,because it's very important.
Number one is cut back on thesugary drinks.
Try water with lemon or fruitinfusion.
Get more water in your diet.
Number two you already knowbrush and floss daily,
(24:11):
especially after acidic orsugary drinks.
Don't drink these things likewater and then not brush your
teeth.
Some people I have patients allthe time they drink so much
soda, so much caffeine and theirblood pressure is sky high and
I have to tell them hey, youhave to cut back on the sugary
drinks, not only for your bloodpressure, because you're gonna
get cavities, and now we knowyou can even get oral cancer.
(24:31):
Well, increased risk, we willsay.
Number three floss your teethevery night.
Plaque buildup equals higheroral risk, oral cancer risk.
A lot of people don't floss.
I tell my patients, if youbrush your teeth every day, make
sure you do the two-step, notthe one step.
It's like we got our boots onthe ground.
We got to do the two-step.
It's the same.
(24:52):
When you're brushing your teeth, you got to brush and floss,
otherwise you're only doing halfof the job.
Your teeth don't appreciatethat.
Going to sleep with chickenbetween them every night, guys,
we don't want to feed thebacteria.
Number four get a yearly oralcancer screening from your
dentist.
This is important becausedentists are able to check your
lymph nodes and see if you haveany swellings and check under
(25:15):
your tongue to make sureeverything looks good.
I've had several patients withoral cancer and some of them
find it a little too late.
Where you lose part of yourthroat, you lose your tongue,
you lose your ability to speakor eat.
A lot happens when you get oralcancer.
It impacts every part of yourbody because you can't eat right
, you can't speak right, yourconfidence goes down the drain
(25:40):
and it is very traumatic.
It is a very traumatic disease.
Okay then number five know whatcanker sores look like temporary
and painful versus somethingthat's persistent, painless
lesion, which is cancer?
Yesterday on the pod, we talkedabout canker sores versus oral
(26:00):
cancer.
Let me see if I can pull it upfor a second.
So this is oral cancer and thisis a canker sore.
Know the difference betweencanker sore and oral cancer.
This is a canker sore, so thisis temporary and painful.
It goes away within one to twoweeks.
(26:23):
But if you get something likethis, uh-oh, this is oral cancer
that you see on the screen now,this is oral cancer.
This is going to be persistentand painless most of the time.
Either way, you want to have itchecked out.
(26:43):
Don't ignore mouth sores thatlast longer than two weeks.
Number seven eat more green andantioxidant rich foods.
These foods are going toprotect your oral tissues.
A lot more salads we don't likesalads, right Some smoothies,
lots of berries, just basically,health.
(27:05):
Health is wealth.
Number eight avoid tobacco inall forms, because we know
tobacco is one of the key riskfactors for oral cancer.
If you smoke cigarettes, thenyou have a really high risk
factors for oral cancer.
If you smoke cigarettes, thenyou have a really high chance of
getting oral cancer.
You do cigarettes plus sugarydrinks, plus alcohol.
You really want to make sureyou're checking on yourself
every year.
Don't even skip.
(27:26):
You feel something strange inyour mouth?
Go get it checked out.
Number nine limit alcohol,especially when paired with
sugary drinks like cocktails.
And number 10, stay hydratedwith water, because water is our
best friend.
Water is our best friend, wateris our best friend.
(27:46):
I just want to wrap up this withjust having a mental health
moment to make sure everybody isat peace with themselves and
knowing that self-love is notneeding external validation to
feel whole.
That's key to going from hoodto hood.
It is realizing how powerfulyou are within yourself.
(28:07):
Even when I was in the hood,crying every night, praying for
my mama to come back alive,trying to figure out where my
daddy at, because he was in thestreets, being shipped from
house to house, going throughcustody battles, something deep
inside of me there was a desireto be something great.
I didn't want to be a CNA, likeboth of my grandparents.
(28:30):
I didn't want to have a careerwhere I wouldn't be able to feed
myself or to live my best life.
I knew early on that if Iwanted to do something great, it
would require me to be verydisciplined and to not make
excuses.
That's when I learned hey, it'seither do it or be stuck in the
(28:51):
hood forever.
I want to encourage you guys tolove on yourself today and know
that you don't need externalvalidations to feel whole.
Rock out on your goals.
If you can sit with yourself insilence and solitude and still
feel like you matter, then youare truly growing.
And if anything you're goingthrough in life, just always
(29:12):
remember to be patient with yourhealing and be kind to your
reflection.
You don't have to be perfect tobe powerful, and that is true.
We don't have to be perfect tobe powerful.
Right when I started this 365day challenge, I thought I was a
little delulu.
I was like am I biting off alittle more than I could chew?
(29:33):
But I knew that if I couldcomplete 365 days of showing up,
it is definitely going tochange a part of me.
I might not show up perfect allthe time, guys.
The stream lab might betripping sometimes, the camera
be tripping sometimes.
Sometimes I forget that my micain't on.
I have made so many mistakes inthis 15 days you couldn't
(29:53):
believe it.
But guess what?
Every day, my consistencymuscle what A little bit
stronger, right, we're a littlebit stronger.
Every time you show up foryourself, you get what Stronger
it says.
True success is peace of mind.
It's hard to get there whenyou're chasing people who don't
(30:15):
even see you.
Stop chasing the people whodon't see you and dig into your
own self-esteem bag, your ownself-respect bag.
Today, take a deep breath and Iencourage you to show up for
yourself.
Show up for yourself everysingle day.
We're not quittersters.
(30:35):
We don't turn around.
Guess what we do, guys?
We show up for ourselves everyday.
We show up for ourselves everyday.
If nobody ever told you guys,today I'm so proud of you just
for even having the mindset to,to continue to grow every single
day.
That's major.
We just just wrapped up ourfirst book on this podcast, eat
(31:00):
that Frog, and we, moving on toour next read tomorrow, never
Eat Alone.
Now, this is a book aboutsecrets to success and
relationships.
I feel this is good for this365 day challenge because, as
you guys know, I'm trying tobuild a community on Twitch that
is highly motivated, veryintelligent when it comes to the
(31:24):
oral hygiene and a communitythat knows how important it is
for lifelong learning.
I love learning.
This is Dr Sean, dr Cheetah'ssunflower, and brush and floss
and hydrate your teeth tonightand say it with me.
Guys, I showed up today, that'senough, that is everything.
Yo, yo, welcome back.
How y'all feeling.
I see your money G.
I see your way.
I see your money G, I see yourway.
How y'all feeling.
(00:28):
In hood to hooded podcast lane,this is Dr Sean, aka Dr Truth
and Sunflower back with anothervideo.
No excuses, just discipline,baby.
This is day 15 of me showing upconsistently.
Honestly, guys, I did not wantto show up today.
I am here because I am on amission to just get consistency
embedded into my DNA.
That's why we show up hereevery night and we push the Hood
(00:49):
to Hooded Consistency Project.
When you have a decision to beconsistent, it stops being about
your feelings.
You show up because you saidyou would.
You show up because this issomething you really want to do.
People quit on their dreams notbecause they're not talented.
They quit because they justdon't feel like doing it.
No more.
They're tired.
(01:09):
Life be, life in the energybelow, but the consistency
doesn't care about none of that.
It reminds me a bit in dentalschool.
If you didn't show up, somebodyelse is right there to take
your spot.
If this is something that youwant, whatever your dream is,
your goal is tonight, you gottaknock it out the ballpark
without any excuses, consistencyover feelings.
(01:30):
I show up exhausted, raw butready.
I'm ready for the night, I'mready for the stream, because
that's how winners move.
Like we don't make excuses, myniji, no excuses are allowed.
If you're tired, you're notalone.
If you ever doubted your pace,you are not alone.
If you ever doubted your pace,you are not alone.
I feel you, but we got to showup anyways.
The day that you show up mightbe the day that you change your
(01:53):
life.
Tonight we are diving into ourfirst segment, which is
finalizing the chapters of Eatthat Frog.
We've been trying to tackleprocrastination because I know
I'm not the only one who dealwith procrastinating about life
because life be lifin'.
You can get into the lazy modeand excuse bill lane real, real
(02:14):
quick, and we try to stay out ofthat lane.
I am here to help us elevateand stay on track when it comes
to living our best life.
We are on the last two chapters, guys.
If you don't know what I'mtalking about, then you can
catch the replays on the hood tothe podcast which is on all
podcast platforms chapter 20 and21.
(02:35):
This book has been so powerfuland I'm so excited to be done
with it.
Chapter 20 is one of the mostimportant chapters we will cover
and it's talking aboutdeveloping that sense of urgency
when it comes to your dreams.
Like how many of usprocrastinate when we know we
should be doing something and wedon't have the sense of urgency
.
We just go day after daythinking that we'll get it done
(03:00):
tomorrow, we'll get it donetomorrow.
Who else is out there like that?
In this, this chapter, it'sjust talking about action being
everything.
There is no perfect time to dosomething.
If you're waiting on theperfect time to make your dreams
come to life, you're gonna bewaiting forever because there
just isn't a perfect time.
One of the most outwardlyidentifiable qualities of
(03:23):
somebody who is a highperforming man or woman is being
action oriented.
They hurry to get their tasks,or their key tasks, done first.
First, they think about whatthey need to do.
Second, they plan it and thenthey set priorities.
We all about setting prioritiesand knocking out our major task
quickly.
(03:43):
Launch quick towards your goalsand objectives.
I agree with that.
When you move quickly, you buildmomentum and enter a flow.
That's the sweet spot wheretime disappears and everything
just clicks.
Compare this like a highperforming person, they're going
to go into action quick.
But the average person is goingto socialize.
(04:06):
You already know they're gonnawaste a lot of time and do a lot
of low value activities likewatching your favorite tv show.
Yes, that's okay sometimes, butyou, if you have a goal, you
don't have time to watch tv.
Getting into the flow when youget into the flow of things I
call this the cdp formula you'regonna have consistency,
discipline minus procrastinationand it's gonna equal like a
(04:29):
glow up.
For you, the state of flow isthe highest state of performance
or productivity.
It leaves you feeling elated,clear about everything and it
will be effortless.
You'll end up being happy,energized, energized, more
sensitive and aware of yourgoals when you get into this
flow because you're beingdisciplined and you will have
(04:49):
higher insight and intuition toguide you to do the right thing.
We all can use a little bitmore discipline and I'm totally
against procrastination.
That has been one of myweaknesses since I was young,
but I still managed to get adoctoral degree.
It wasn't easy.
Trigger high performance inyourself, the way that you
(05:11):
trigger a state of flow anddevelop a sense of urgency.
It will be like from your innerdrive or your desire.
What do you have a desire to do, because we are all in
competition with ourselves.
A lot of people think they'rein competition with other people
, but the real competition is inourselves.
It's all internal.
I know that the internet andsocial media have you thinking
(05:35):
that we're competing with people, but it's all inside of
ourselves.
Build up a sense of momentum,momentum principle of success
when you take continuous actionstowards your most important
goal.
Think about your most importantgoal right now.
Are you taking action on that?
I always mention dental schoolbecause dental school is one of
(05:57):
those things where you just youhave to sacrifice everything.
Your weekends, your nights,your mornings you sacrifice
everything.
Those are high.
Your mornings you sacrificeeverything.
Those are high performance.
Situations in dental school,right once we get into dental
school, is like it's non-stopfor four years.
If you slack off, you fail outand then your dream is over.
You have to have a tremendousenergy to start.
(06:19):
You need inertia.
You got to get over the inertialike that tremendous energy
that you need to start on yourgoal.
It takes less if you just keepgoing and you keep that momentum
.
The moment you stop, the momentyou get distracted, you may
have a relationship that'sdistracting you.
You might have some familyissues that might be distracting
.
You can have so manydistractions financial
(06:40):
distractions, mental healthdistractions.
Whatever it is that'sdistracting you is going to take
you off the path from your goal.
Right, but imagine if you couldstay positive and stay on route
to your goal.
Tune out all the extra noiseand the distractions.
You get more done.
You're going to have moreenergy.
You're going to learn more,have more experiences and be
(07:02):
more competent and capable.
It's all in your head.
We talk ourselves out of doingthings every single day.
But we have to get out of thatand just take action, and people
will talk you out of doingthings every day too.
When I wanted to open upmotivational dentistry dental
practice, people try to talk meout of doing it all the time.
They say they put a lot ofdoubt on your head.
How are you going to findpatients, what are you going to
(07:31):
do to find money and how you'regoing to do this?
Just do it.
Do it now.
In this chapter it says do itnow.
The simplest ways to getyourself started is to repeat
this phrase do it now.
Do it now.
When you wake up but you don'tfeel like doing it, your biggest
task is to say I'm gonna do itnow.
I gotta do it now, don't wait.
When I wanted this practiceopen, I did it now.
Don't wait.
When I wanted this practiceopen, I did it now.
I didn't wait.
I started looking for thebuilding, immediately Found a
building, met with the realtor,immediately Started talking
(07:52):
about the pricing and theequipment and all these
different things.
You got to do it now because ifyou wait, people will doubt you
out of your dreams because theydon't believe in themselves.
Have you found that people whodon't even dream, don't have any
goals, don't know what theirfuture holds, are always the
ones trying to talk you out ofyour dreams and goals?
Yeah, you got to stay away fromthose type of people.
(08:15):
Whenever you feel like you'reslowing down or you feel the
spirit of procrastination, likepulling you back towards being
lazy, you got to say back towork.
It's saying say back to work,let's get back to work.
Let's get back to work and doit and knock it out.
That's what we got to do.
That's all that chapter istalking about is just being in
(08:38):
alignment with yourself, havinga sense of urgency and doing
what you need to do to knock outyour goals.
Do it now, moving on to the lastchapter of the book, it says
single handle every task.
We've been talking about thisfor the whole book selecting
your most important task andstarting on that task and not
finishing until it's done,because if you do anything
(08:58):
that's of a less value, you'rewasting your time.
You're wasting your time.
Begin and complete it 100% byconcentrating.
Single mindedly reduces thetime required to complete your
task by 50 or more.
I am guilty of this.
I have to sit down and dodental claims right.
It's something that Iabsolutely dread doing.
(09:20):
This is why I went out ofnetwork with insurance, because
it's like you do the work andthen you have all this paperwork
left and I don't like that.
I got out of network, but Iwould sit down, not like doing
it.
Do a couple, come back to itand what happens is the tendency
to start.
Stop, pick it up, put it backdown increases your time to
(09:41):
complete the task by 500%.
That's crazy, because you haveto overcome the inertia again.
You have to develop thatmomentum that we talked about,
get back into your productiveflow, and that takes time and
energy and it's better just toknock out your goals and do it
completely.
Don't waste time Once youdecide your number one task.
(10:03):
Anything else is a waste oftime.
The more work you do, the morework you do on high value tasks
develops an efficiency curve.
So you become more intelligentand more efficient at the task
when you work on it consistentlyand you do it until it's done
Again.
Each time you break that cycle,you got to start back over.
(10:25):
Now for the last segment of thischapter, before we end our
reading of eat that frog.
It's talking aboutself-discipline.
Is the key?
Me showing up here on twitchevery night.
Guys, it's truly likeself-discipline.
Every night, I'm like dang.
I don't want to quit, though,because I've already started.
I have this momentum going soday.
(10:47):
I'm going to show up for 365days regardless, but it's that
self-discipline that I'membedding into my mind.
It's the consistency that I knowI lack.
I have the knowledge, I havethe degrees, but I don't have
consistency, so that don't meannothing.
If you have all these thingsand you can't be consistent, you
can't show up for yourself, andI know I did it before because
(11:15):
I did it in dental school.
But can we do this consistentlyevery day?
All right, when you haveself-discipline, this is the
ability to make yourself do whatyou should do.
Let's start it over, guys.
I want y'all to really get this.
Self-discipline is the abilityto make yourself do what you
should do when you should do it,whether you feel like it or not
.
If I know that we're trying tobe consistent and part of
(11:36):
consistency is just showing up,then I know I should do it.
So every night when I feel likedang, I don't want to do it
because I it's so much easier tojust lay down.
It's so much easier to just laydown.
It's so much easier to get cozyin my cover and snuggle up.
It's so much easier to watch myfavorite TV show and eat
something good and be lazy.
That's easy.
(11:57):
But it's not what I should dowhen I have a goal.
If I know I have a goal to beconsistency, then I just got to
show up.
If I don't feel like it, I justgot to do what I got to do In
dental school.
You study all day, all nightand, yeah, you don't feel like
it.
I just got to do what I got todo In dental school.
You study all day, all nightand, yeah, you don't want to do
it all the time, but you must dothis.
These are the requirements.
Whatever is a requirement inyour life to get to your goals,
(12:18):
just do it.
Success in any area requirestons of discipline.
If we don't take nothing elsefrom this book about
procrastination, success in anyarea requires tons of discipline
.
It doesn't say a little bit ofdiscipline.
It requires tons of discipline,the building blocks of
(12:40):
character and high performance.
If you want to be a highperformer, if you want to
elevate past, like that hood tohooded mindset I came from the
hood, right, if I know, I didn'twant to be in the hood forever
I must work on my character.
I must work on being a highperformer.
These aren't skills that Ilearned in the household.
Nobody ain't walking aroundtalking about hey, we're going
(13:01):
to work on your self-discipline.
Today, like, just be honest, wegrow up, get out of the house
and then it's to the workforceand every child, woman, man for
themselves.
When you come from poverty, Ijust had a different mindset.
I said I'm not going to fallfor that.
I really want to be a doctor.
I need self-discipline,self-mastery, self-control.
Okay, self-discipline,self-mastery and self-control.
(13:25):
This is something that peoplearen't just going to hand to you
.
These are things and skillsthat you have to go out and get
for yourself, without making noexcuses or complaining about it.
What is persistence?
Persistence is self-disciplineand action.
When you have persistence onyour goals, guess what happens
(13:45):
you feel better, you have moreself-esteem, you have more
self-respect.
And guess what?
You become A superior person inyour eyes.
Because, remember, we are ourown competition.
Nobody else is your competition.
You are your own competition.
Whatever you want in this life,go out and get it.
You're your own competition.
(14:06):
Whatever you want in this life,go out and get it.
You're your own competition.
Believe that.
I want to know, after you goback, if you listen to the
podcast or you just join it in.
This book had 21 principles,right, and I'm gonna just read
them out really quickly and Iwant you to think about which
principle hits hardest for you.
(14:27):
Number one set the table.
This means make your goalsclear.
Number two plan every day inadvance.
Number three apply the 80-20rule, so always concentrate your
effort on the top 20%.
Number four consider theconsequences if you don't do
what you're supposed to do.
Number five practice creativeprocrastination, meaning
procrastinate on low value shit.
(14:49):
Number six use the a, b, c, d,e method.
This is like putting a next toyour top priority task for the
day in, b next to not priority c, d delegate and e eliminate.
Number seven focus on your keyresult areas.
If you have a skill that youlack on that is a weakness like
(15:11):
me consistency focus on that.
Number eight apply the law ofthree.
Identify the three things youdo in your work that account for
90% of your contribution and dothat.
Number nine prepare thoroughlybefore you begin.
Number 10, take it one oilbarrel at a time.
That means just one step at atime.
Number 11, upgrade your keyskills, meaning be a lifelong
(15:35):
learner.
If you're watching a podcast orif you're following along, then
this is upgrading your keyskills.
Number 12, identify your keyconstraints.
What is holding you back fromyour goals?
What is that one thing that isconstraining you from completing
your goals?
Number 13, put pressure onyourself.
Number 14, motivate yourselfinto action.
(15:57):
15, technology is a terriblemaster, meaning that.
Don't let technology controlyou.
Don't spend six hours strollingwhen you could be doing six
hours of posting videos,creating a business, starting a
YouTube channel, reading a book.
Sixteen technology is awonderful servant.
Learn how to use technologyLike I use AI a lot in dentistry
(16:18):
.
Even with my podcast.
I use a lot of technology, butit doesn't control me.
Number seventeen focus yourattention, stop the
interruptions, stop thedistractions and get back focus.
Number 18 slice and dice thetask.
Number 19 create large chunksof time so that you can work on
(16:39):
your important tasks.
Number 20 develop a sense ofurgency, which is what we just
talked about.
And number 21 single handleevery task.
We're gonna do a mental healthand social media check-in on our
young adults and even someadults.
I found this really interestingarticle about how teens felt
(17:00):
like social media was damagingtheir mental health and I want
to bring this to the lightbecause I feel like it's the
same for all people on whatsocial media is doing to us when
we just like we just read about.
Don't let technology be yourmaster.
You want to be able to controlit.
This article social media andmental health it says the
(17:22):
surgeon general's report justrevealed that nearly 50 percent
of teens think social media isdamaging youth mental health.
Do y'all agree with that?
Do y'all feel like social mediais damaging youth mental health
and, if so, how?
I totally agree with it.
I'm very cautious about socialmedia nowadays just because I
(17:47):
know it can be toxic.
I find myself strollingsometimes.
That's why we set timers on ourphone and say, hey, you've been
strolling for an hour.
We need to put limits on thesethings, but kids don't have
those same limits, and if theparents are using the phones as
babysitters or just notcontrolling it, it can damage
(18:07):
the youth's mental healthbecause you don't really know
what they're watching or whothey're engaging with on social
media.
This article is saying thatsocial media is like sugar for
the brain it's addicting, butempty.
It's feeding the brain andcausing the hormones and the
dopamine to be released, butit's not filling us with
(18:29):
anything.
It's just causing thesetriggers that keep us trolling,
keep us like zombies on theInternet.
It's addicting and, it says, incomparison filters, the fear of
missing out, peer pressure.
It messes with identity,confidence and a peace of mind.
All of this from social mediaand these are this is
(18:51):
information coming from theteens, like they're worried
about their own mental health.
All of us need to be aware ofthis and don't get too wrapped
up on other people.
Remember we are our owncompetition.
Don't feel like you're missingout on anything.
Don't fall for peer pressureand know that you are beautiful
(19:11):
and strong within your own right, but it does mess with people's
identity.
Instagram is all aboutaesthetics and how you look, and
people flash money and cars andyou just have to know how to
discern that everything you seeonline is not real and it is not
always how it's seen.
People only post the good shit.
They don't post the negativity.
(19:31):
We want to keep our confidenceup, keep our peace of mind by
continuing to grow and get moreknowledge.
There is an emotionaldetachment.
Attention span has beenshortened.
It is an emotional attachment.
We become emotional attached topeople on the internet and then
it starts to make us want tojudge ourselves and we get into
(19:52):
a shell.
And there was even a study thatsaid the attention span is
maybe three seconds now.
So people only have theattention span of three seconds.
If anybody comes upon thispodcast and they stay, that
means you have a really goodattention span, because normally
it's like this, especially forthe young folks.
(20:13):
And then you see a lot ofbullying going on and then you
see people young peopleunaliving themselves because of
social media, because they feellike they can't live up to all
the beauty standards.
I'ma just be honest when I wasin high school, we didn't have
to worry about having the bestwig or makeup and all these
different things.
(20:34):
We just rock what we had.
But nowadays you gotta have thelace front, the right makeup.
Everything has to be perfect,especially for social media.
I want the young people to knowall of that is not necessarily
to be perfect, especially forsocial medias.
I want the young people to knowall of that is not necessarily
to be great.
Your confidence and how youidentify yourself and your peace
of mind comes from within.
(20:54):
I admit it even affects adultstoo.
It definitely affects adults.
A lot of adults have stoppedlearning.
They don't even do anything butstroll.
They go to work, go home andstroll they.
They're not creating, even ifthey are in poverty.
Even if it's like a check tocheck situation I come from the
hood it's still not like anurgency to get a different job
(21:15):
or to get that degree or tostart that business.
We're strolling all day killingour brain cells, all freaking
day.
So let me just say this to everyyoung person, even older people
tuning in you are enough.
You don't need to go viral tohave value.
The likes, the comments, thefollowers they don't define your
(21:36):
self-worth.
What defines your self-worth iswhat is inside.
That's why be optimistic.
I came from a place where Ididn't have pretty much anything
started from zero.
But guess what?
If you keep your mind clear andkeep working on your goals,
taking action, then you're, youwill eventually get there.
But if you allow social mediato trick you at your spot, then
(22:02):
you know you live with a life ofregrets.
Just know how valuable you are.
You see, across social media,kids can be mean.
I know, with this chocolateskin, this melanin I had before,
I realized I was kneezy.
I was really bullied becausethey teach the kids some kind of
way.
The caucasian kids already knowto bully you.
(22:23):
Even the other melanated kidsknow that.
Oh, you're the darkest one.
We're going to bully you.
That is a part of colonizationto bully us based on our skin.
Not knowing melanin is ourskin's defense system.
Baby, once I learned that, whatI love, the skin I'm in, love
(22:43):
it.
You can't trick me out of myspot.
I love it.
I love it.
We moving right along to ouroral hygiene moment, tonight
we're still honing in on oralcancer.
It's oral cancer awarenessmonth and I found another
(23:04):
article that I want us to justhit on real quick, like it's
about sugary drinks and oralcancer.
Oral cancer is on the rise,especially in young people.
Researchers found that 23%increased risk of oral cancer in
people who regularly drinksugar sweetened beverages.
(23:27):
This is sodas, energy drinks,sweet and nice teas and even
some fruit juices.
If you drink a lot of sugar, ofcourse we already know you can
get cavities, energy drinks,sweet and nice teas and even
some fruit juices.
If you drink a lot of sugar, ofcourse we already know you can
get cavities.
Of course we already know youcan get periodontal disease.
But did you know that you canget higher risk of oral cancer
just by having too much sugar inyour diet, too many sugary
(23:48):
drinks?
Here are 10 tips to help us staysafe and try to decrease that
risk of getting oral cancer,because it's very important.
Number one is cut back on thesugary drinks.
Try water with lemon or fruitinfusion.
Get more water in your diet.
Number two you already knowbrush and floss daily,
(24:11):
especially after acidic orsugary drinks.
Don't drink these things likewater and then not brush your
teeth.
Some people I have patients allthe time they drink so much
soda, so much caffeine and theirblood pressure is sky high and
I have to tell them hey, youhave to cut back on the sugary
drinks, not only for your bloodpressure, because you're gonna
get cavities, and now we knowyou can even get oral cancer.
(24:31):
Well, increased risk, we willsay.
Number three floss your teethevery night.
Plaque buildup equals higheroral risk, oral cancer risk.
A lot of people don't floss.
I tell my patients, if youbrush your teeth every day, make
sure you do the two-step, notthe one step.
It's like we got our boots onthe ground.
We got to do the two-step.
It's the same.
(24:52):
When you're brushing your teeth, you got to brush and floss,
otherwise you're only doing halfof the job.
Your teeth don't appreciatethat.
Going to sleep with chickenbetween them every night, guys,
we don't want to feed thebacteria.
Number four get a yearly oralcancer screening from your
dentist.
This is important becausedentists are able to check your
lymph nodes and see if you haveany swellings and check under
(25:15):
your tongue to make sureeverything looks good.
I've had several patients withoral cancer and some of them
find it a little too late.
Where you lose part of yourthroat, you lose your tongue,
you lose your ability to speakor eat.
A lot happens when you get oralcancer.
It impacts every part of yourbody because you can't eat right
, you can't speak right, yourconfidence goes down the drain
(25:40):
and it is very traumatic.
It is a very traumatic disease.
Okay then number five know whatcanker sores look like temporary
and painful versus somethingthat's persistent, painless
lesion, which is cancer?
Yesterday on the pod, we talkedabout canker sores versus oral
(26:00):
cancer.
Let me see if I can pull it upfor a second.
So this is oral cancer and thisis a canker sore.
Know the difference betweencanker sore and oral cancer.
This is a canker sore, so thisis temporary and painful.
It goes away within one to twoweeks.
(26:23):
But if you get something likethis, uh-oh, this is oral cancer
that you see on the screen now,this is oral cancer.
This is going to be persistentand painless most of the time.
Either way, you want to have itchecked out.
(26:43):
Don't ignore mouth sores thatlast longer than two weeks.
Number seven eat more green andantioxidant rich foods.
These foods are going toprotect your oral tissues.
A lot more salads we don't likesalads, right Some smoothies,
lots of berries, just basically,health.
(27:05):
Health is wealth.
Number eight avoid tobacco inall forms, because we know
tobacco is one of the key riskfactors for oral cancer.
If you smoke cigarettes, thenyou have a really high risk
factors for oral cancer.
If you smoke cigarettes, thenyou have a really high chance of
getting oral cancer.
You do cigarettes plus sugarydrinks, plus alcohol.
You really want to make sureyou're checking on yourself
every year.
Don't even skip.
(27:26):
You feel something strange inyour mouth?
Go get it checked out.
Number nine limit alcohol,especially when paired with
sugary drinks like cocktails.
And number 10, stay hydratedwith water, because water is our
best friend.
Water is our best friend, wateris our best friend.
(27:46):
I just want to wrap up this withjust having a mental health
moment to make sure everybody isat peace with themselves and
knowing that self-love is notneeding external validation to
feel whole.
That's key to going from hoodto hood.
It is realizing how powerfulyou are within yourself.
(28:07):
Even when I was in the hood,crying every night, praying for
my mama to come back alive,trying to figure out where my
daddy at, because he was in thestreets, being shipped from
house to house, going throughcustody battles, something deep
inside of me there was a desireto be something great.
I didn't want to be a CNA, likeboth of my grandparents.
(28:30):
I didn't want to have a careerwhere I wouldn't be able to feed
myself or to live my best life.
I knew early on that if Iwanted to do something great, it
would require me to be verydisciplined and to not make
excuses.
That's when I learned hey, it'seither do it or be stuck in the
(28:51):
hood forever.
I want to encourage you guys tolove on yourself today and know
that you don't need externalvalidations to feel whole.
Rock out on your goals.
If you can sit with yourself insilence and solitude and still
feel like you matter, then youare truly growing.
And if anything you're goingthrough in life, just always
(29:12):
remember to be patient with yourhealing and be kind to your
reflection.
You don't have to be perfect tobe powerful, and that is true.
We don't have to be perfect tobe powerful.
Right when I started this 365day challenge, I thought I was a
little delulu.
I was like am I biting off alittle more than I could chew?
(29:33):
But I knew that if I couldcomplete 365 days of showing up,
it is definitely going tochange a part of me.
I might not show up perfect allthe time, guys.
The stream lab might betripping sometimes, the camera
be tripping sometimes.
Sometimes I forget that my micain't on.
I have made so many mistakes inthis 15 days you couldn't
(29:53):
believe it.
But guess what?
Every day, my consistencymuscle what A little bit
stronger, right, we're a littlebit stronger.
Every time you show up foryourself, you get what Stronger
it says.
True success is peace of mind.
It's hard to get there whenyou're chasing people who don't
(30:15):
even see you.
Stop chasing the people whodon't see you and dig into your
own self-esteem bag, your ownself-respect bag.
Today, take a deep breath and Iencourage you to show up for
yourself.
Show up for yourself everysingle day.
We're not quittersters.
(30:35):
We don't turn around.
Guess what we do, guys?
We show up for ourselves everyday.
We show up for ourselves everyday.
If nobody ever told you guys,today I'm so proud of you just
for even having the mindset to,to continue to grow every single
day.
That's major.
We just just wrapped up ourfirst book on this podcast, eat
(31:00):
that Frog, and we, moving on toour next read tomorrow, never
Eat Alone.
Now, this is a book aboutsecrets to success and
relationships.
I feel this is good for this365 day challenge because, as
you guys know, I'm trying tobuild a community on Twitch that
is highly motivated, veryintelligent when it comes to the
(31:24):
oral hygiene and a communitythat knows how important it is
for lifelong learning.
I love learning.
This is Dr Sean, dr Cheetah'ssunflower, and brush and floss
and hydrate your teeth tonightand say it with me.
