In this episode of The Artist Within podcast, I reflect on my journey and the deep gratitude I hold for the sacrifices that have allowed me the freedom to express and create. Growing up as an immigrant in the United States, I understand firsthand what it means to chase the "American Dream." I discuss the significance of Veterans Day, not only as a day of remembrance but as a day to recognize the lives laid down so that individuals like myself can live freely. The conversation delves into how these sacrifices have impacted my life and the lives of countless others who have come to the United States seeking hope and opportunity.
Through this episode, I invite listeners to join me in honoring veterans' humanity and courage, reminding us of their priceless gift. Their service and dedication enable us to live without fear, create, express, and exist in a way that celebrates our individuality and dreams. My journey has been deeply influenced by the understanding that freedom isn’t guaranteed—it is fought for and protected. By reflecting on this, I share my desire to give back and make a difference in my community, fueled by a sense of responsibility to honor the freedoms I have been afforded.
As I talk about my own experiences, this episode becomes a call to action for every listener. We all have the power to contribute positively to our communities. Through unity and understanding, we can cultivate an environment that values freedom, respects sacrifice, and embraces diverse perspectives. Join me in exploring the importance of these themes and consider how we can each play a role in preserving the freedoms that others have fought so hard to protect.

Adela (00:10):
hello friends, hello world.
Welcome to the artist withinpodcast.
I am your host, adela hitel.
This is season one, the wordresilience, and it is produced
and hosted by think a new way tothink, project human.
If you guys can hear my dogswhimpering in the background
right now, the attention is onsomething, but I'm not stopping
(00:30):
because, well, I have things todo.
Today it's spa day, it's mymental health day, and I'm
really, really excited because Ihave had to push this off for
the last two, three weeks.
Normally, I'm scheduled like onthe dot, where I need to be,
with what I need to be.
I also need to clean my glassesbecause I've just realized I
can't see.
Um, because I, well, I needthat.
(00:52):
A couple of things I want totalk to you about today is, well
, your, your mental health, asalways.
Uh, I wanted to talk about theorganization a little bit and
then I wanted to also talk toyou about Veterans Day.
I think I'll start off withthat and then we'll kind of go
into shifting into a lot of theother things that I want to talk
about, because it's importantand Veterans Day was yesterday.
(01:15):
So happy Veterans Day to allthe veterans and every human
who's ever supported us, who'sever been here, have been there
and will continue to be there togive us there we go, to give us
the safety, security that weneed, the prosperity that we
need here in the United States,and so, as a being and as
(01:39):
someone who has had theopportunity to be blessed by
those who have decided tosacrifice for her, I am very
honored and very thankful, and Ialso have family in the
military and retired as well.
And so thank you, guys forserving, thank you to all my
friends, thank you for justcontinuing to again keep me safe
, keep my family safe and keepour country safe.
(02:01):
So I will get into that in justa minute and kind of because I
want to talk to you about that.
I think it's important to know alittle bit about the history
and where you can find it, andjust to understand a bit more.
I think we as a community, as aUnited Nations, could use a
little bit more reminder of allthe reasons why we have fought
(02:23):
for what we have fought, why weare where we are, and whether
you agree with it or not, youdon't have to, you really don't.
You do not have to agree withanything I say today you do not.
You can literally be like youare full of shit, adela.
It's like you have no idea whatyou're talking about, and to
you, you're right, I have noidea what I'm talking about.
But then, on vice versa, it'sthe same way to you, you have no
(02:50):
idea what I'm talking about.
Then, in that respect, becauseyou didn't live my life, you
didn't live through what I'velived through, you didn't see
the sacrifices that humans havemade for me, specifically in
person, in real time, to ensurethat I'm alive here today, and
then I have the opportunity tospeak to you, to create, to do
all of these things with you.
So again, however you may feelabout any of our political
(03:13):
spectrum not into politics, eventhough I'm learning about it,
and I'm learning that everythingis intertwined one way or
another.
Those are personal choices anddecisions that we all make on
there, and those areconversations that we should all
be able to have as civil humanbeings.
And I think that it's reallyimportant for us to educate
ourselves, all of us this isn'tabout any, again, any side or
(03:36):
anything, it's just every beingshould educate themselves,
especially here in the UnitedStates, of why we fight, we
fight, and the only way toeducate ourselves is through
conversation, through meaningfulconversation, and that's
something that I think we aregoing to be seeing hopefully
excuse me a lot more of in thecoming future.
Excuse me again, in the comingfuture, and especially for our
(03:57):
children.
Because how do we want tocontinue fighting and solving
problems?
Do we want to continue sendingour human beings to fight and do
we want to continue askinghuman beings to fight on behalf
of our own selves?
Because we can't handleproblems, because we are too
good for conversation right,we're too uncomfortable for
conversation, and to me, that isjust important to understand so
(04:18):
that we can change the way wemove.
We redefine the narrative.
You are the artist.
Artist, you are the creator ofyour life, you are the creator
of the way everything goes, andso, if you're not creating your
way, that is meaningful for you,that is impactful for you, that
makes changes for you, that isinspiring for you, if it's
negative, life is not negative.
We create the negativity in it.
(04:39):
Life is just life, it exists,just like you, the exists, and
then you create everything elseoutside of it.
You are born, you exist.
That is it.
That is literally the truth ofthis life, of this reality.
You are born, you exist, thislife exists, it is born.
We are here.
Everything else, we, on anindividual basis and as a
collective, create and the restof the consequences, and
(05:07):
whatever the fall, upfall,downfall, whatever my come out
outcome of it is, it is ourresponsibility period and no
matter how big or small.
And the fact that we continueto avoid that responsibility and
avoid that accountability ofthe actions that we take on a
daily basis and yet we have theaudacity to tell people how to
live their life and what to doon their daily basis is just
mind-blowing to me.
So, anyway, a little tangent offtrack, I didn't mean to do that
(05:28):
, but I guess I did.
I needed it.
So what's been going on?
Um, let's get into talkingabout Project Human just a
little bit.
I would love for you guys tolet's go into the website right
now and see where we're at,because I want to, here we go.
So let's get you guys onto thewebsite, let's get you to sign
(05:48):
up and join our community.
We have a huge undertaking thatI want to initiate this next
year 2025.
It is for 2026.
It is for a big event that Iwant to do.
I want to produce in the city.
I want to create a way forJacksonville to recognize the
(06:11):
space that it has already andthat it holds already for humans
and for our mental healthconversation, for the arts and
for everything that we are as acommunity.
One of the things that I'venoticed is that we're so
separated in so many differentways and the information doesn't
come to us as quickly.
And we do have events and wehave so many resources and when
(06:34):
I say so many resources here, wereally genuinely have so many
resources.
But when I talk to human beings, just everyday Joes like myself
, it is very difficult for me totell them and be like hey, you
have this resource, this ishappening, and they go.
What do you mean?
When has this been here?
How come I've not heard aboutit?
How come this, how come that?
And so the fact that we arelacking ourselves as
(06:57):
organizations right, we'relacking in funding, we're
lacking in staff, we're lackingin ways to get our message
across, get our resources outthere to people.
They're also lacking inreceiving the information.
So the idea for us is to hold athree-day mental health summit
and it is going to provide theinformation, education, that's
(07:18):
necessary and required for thehuman being to be able to
sustain themselves and win andmove forward right To really
really learn about themselvesand who they are.
And then our third one is theday of celebration.
It is our gala night, it is ourfundraising night, it is the
idea of coming together andcreating a masterpiece,
producing an event, producing astory that's redefined with a
(07:40):
community, not just a storythat's been told over and over
again.
So everything has pretty muchbeen set into place on our back
end as far as the, what we need,what we're going to be
structuring, where we're goingto be, and phase one kicks off
in January of 2025.
So it would be so fantastic andawesome.
If you will do me the honors,get on our website right here,
(08:00):
right here at the on ProjectHuman, here, right here at the
um on project human.
If you go to thinkingorgp-h-i-n-c-i-n-gorg thinkingorg
and sign up, join our fancommunity.
It's free.
Obviously, you'll get ournewsletter.
I don't send as manynewsletters as you would think
because, well, again, one of thethings that we lack is the full
(08:22):
staff to be able to bombard youwith the amount of greatness
that we have and possess.
So we're going to do it thisway and you'll be hearing from
me as the time goes on, but ifyou join the community, you'll
get information from me.
You'll also receive, when yousign up right here, you'll also
receive a free download, alittle bit of roadmap to
functionality, and it was a PDFthat I created a little while
(08:45):
ago that helped me understandand navigate when I felt stuck.
Where am I at right?
Am I in my need?
Am I in my requirement or am Iin my want?
And, depending on the stage ofwhere I'm at?
And the level of where I'm atwill depend on the actions and
the decisions that I need tomake.
And so I have to really behonest with myself, reflect upon
(09:05):
that state where I'm at clearly, and then move forward.
And so that's what Project Humanteaches.
We teach you how to recognizeyour being for what it is,
recognize where you are and beable to shift your perspective
into action that is required foryou and what you need.
Please understand this is notabout how to teach you to be a
(09:28):
selfless, independent humanbeing and, like independent
woman, independent man.
No, this is how to be anaccountable, responsible human
for your actions, your decisions, your consequences, which
inevitably have an effect onsociety.
Right, you may not think thatyou are worth it.
You may not think that you havean impact.
(09:48):
You may not believe that, butthe honest truth is the complete
opposite.
Like, you are absolutely animpact in this world, good or
bad.
You are an impact Because youexist.
The consequences you willimpact period's so powerful.
That's so amazing.
(10:08):
So I want you to understandthat.
So join our community, get on,we would love to have you.
You'll just sign on right here.
I don't need you know your,your firstborn or your blood
type or anything.
Just your name and email willbe perfect.
Uh, and then we'll go fromthere and then we'll invite you
to our January call forvolunteers, because in January
(10:28):
we are going to be doing amassive volunteer call.
So that, and if you don't wantto sign up, you can just click
the close button right there.
And then, you know, get ontoour website.
But we'll be putting ourinformation on here.
Here's a little informationthat we're going to be putting
onto the website.
We'll have a page here that'llright on the top, right up here,
that will say hey, you know,we've got our mental health
(10:50):
summit coming up.
Here's the information you need.
Sign up, join our groups, jointhe conversation, get on board.
We have an opportunity as acommunity, specifically in
Jacksonville, right, but this isalso for sponsors, for people
who want to come in and be apart of something big.
We have an opportunity to uniteas a people, as a one, to
(11:13):
ensure that we educate, weinform okay and then we
celebrate each other.
We have an opportunity tocreate something so epic, so
powerful, so impactful, somoving.
It all requires is just alittle bit of work, only a
little two years of work, and alittle bit of grinding and a
little bit of crying and alittle bit of hustling, a little
bustling.
(11:34):
It's okay, I promise it's okay,because the end result will be
so worth it.
It will be so worth it.
So I want you to join me onthat.
I really, really want you tojoin me on that.
It's going to be.
It's something I've been workingon for a couple years now.
The idea came to me, I want tosay, years and years ago, like
six, seven years ago, as awindow theory about cleaning
(11:55):
windows, doing things, and nowit's turned into this mental
health summit and the idea ofcleansing the self through
education, through information,the idea of building itself
through creation and celebration.
And so join me.
I can't wait to have you onboard.
So go onto our website, sign up.
Go listen to the podcast rightnow.
Right, that we're talking about.
Go listen to it.
I appreciate you which, speakingof you guys, have given us the
(12:17):
opportunity to reach almost 300downloads 300 downloads on my
first season.
I honestly didn't expect like10, to be honest.
Well, okay, I expected 10.
I have, I know, 10 people whowould actually listen to me,
maybe and download me, right,but to see the reoccurrence, to
see us across the aisles, acrossthe oceans, to be in our United
(12:41):
States, to be across the UnitedStates, really be impacting
human beings.
I'm so honored.
I'm so honored that you want tolisten.
I'm so honored that you findvalue and that you see us as a
platform and as a resource inwhich you can gain insight, find
(13:02):
your light and share with yourown self and others the impact
that Project Human has not onlyon you but on everyone else.
Project Human, again, is theidea that the human being is the
ultimate goal.
I mean, if you look ateverything that's going on in
the world, right, everybodytalks, it's a person, a person
in marketing and in fundraisingand in anything, in anywhere
(13:25):
you're going in all my smallbusiness owners and business
owners will understand this.
They're always asking you who'syour target audience, who's
your one person you're targeting?
Give me that.
Are they between this age?
Are they this?
Are they that?
Are they that they're trying toget to the smallest minuscule
thing about a human being thatthey don't even know and then
clumping everybody into thisgeneral thing which, again, I
get it.
(13:45):
It makes the money.
They get the eyes.
It's eyeballs, it's that.
But the idea for us is not.
That idea is that everyindividual being that we're
reaching, that we're talking to,is its own, full, influential,
full, 100%, like that's ourtarget.
It's the full human, it's apiece of him.
It's not in a price range, it'snot at a age range, it's not at
(14:09):
a color range, it's not at anintellect range, it's none of
the demographics that we'relooking for.
It's not in that range.
It is a human being.
And how do you describe a humanbeing as an existing being?
A human being as an existingbeing?
A human being as an existingbeing, and and to me it's just
(14:30):
in physical form.
It's just so powerful.
So I can't you know.
So we go not necessarilyagainst the grain, but we go
against the grain for that.
So we want to invite you tojoin our against the grain fight
the fight all the little labelsand separators and dividers
that we have and unite togetheras a one.
We did a project called SuicideAwareness Prevention and this
(14:51):
was my.
You know.
You can watch all of these onhere.
We have on here as well.
You can watch our clubchallenge interactions that
we've had and workshops that wedo.
We do this is one of our Dexterstyle paintings and we come in
and we put together this wholefield for you so that you get to
really experience, um, what itmeans to work on your individual
self and create yourself.
(15:12):
And you may not think you're anartist.
Believe me, the amount of timesI get, I'm not an artist.
I don't know what to do.
It doesn't matter.
It really it has no matter ofthat.
That is a.
That is a missing, misinformednarrative of yourself that you
have that was passed down bysomeone or something or a
thought or an idea of someoneelse that it wasn't you.
(15:34):
So go check it out.
I think it's really.
This is one of my favoritethings to do in what I do is to
create, is to get together andput this together.
It genuinely brings me so much,so much joy.
So please take a look at it andsee and watch them.
It was really cool experience.
I had the best time workingwith this group of humans.
I really genuinely did.
(15:56):
It was the most awesome processof me and this is how I heal.
This is literally how I heal,so it makes me so happy.
So watch that.
I think it's cool, and thencheck catch up on my interviews
from our the Daily News Networkwith Client Focused Media, where
(16:17):
they help and giveorganizations like myself an
opportunity to come in and chat.
You know about what we're doing, about our mission, so I've had
the opportunity, privilege, togo on there, share my mission in
the last couple years over timeand really grow into my
narrative.
What's been fantastic is thatI've used the platform as my way
of understanding what it isthat I'm saying, how I'm saying
(16:39):
it, why I'm saying it, ensuringthat my message is as consistent
as possible and as strong aspossible and as structured as
possible, and you can see thegrowth in it.
Which is what I love about thiswhole process is that you
genuinely get to see my owngrowth through all of this
project, human creation.
It's not just, oh, adela'sdoing this and she's here now,
like this has been seven, eightyears now in the making of
(17:03):
trying to understand what I wantthe organization to be gaining
the confidence, really gainingthe confidence to speak.
My narrative becoming a leaderthat I've wanted to become,
becoming a strong and confidentvoice of my own self and in my
community, becoming a trustedvoice in my community Whether or
not you like me, that's a wholedifferent story.
But at least you can't say thatI am not there when I'm asked,
(17:28):
or that I don't deliver when Iwant to deliver and when I need
to deliver, when we cometogether to deliver, or that I'm
not capable or that I'm notgoing to follow through, which I
wasn't before I get it.
There's plenty of you guys thatwill know Adela.
That is not the you we know,which is true.
It is not the me you know, butthe me you know has grown.
The me you knew versus the meyou know.
(17:50):
This me has grown so muchversus that me, and that me is
oh, I can see, I can see that me, the pain, I can see it in my
eyes.
I can literally feel it in myeyes.
There's a difference in how Icompletely exist, in the
confidence and the exuberancethat I possess, and so it's
(18:12):
really cool to see myself inthat perspective, to see the
growth.
So go, check it out.
I think you'll find enjoying itand enjoy it as well.
And then you'll also see ourwhat are they called Our project
, our checkmate?
Whoa?
We did not mean to do that,that was too much.
(18:34):
You'll see our checkmateproject that was what I meant to
say right up here.
You'll see that.
Please check that out, becausethat is a project that was
really inspiring for me to do asa community, especially during
the COVID times and when we weretold not to, we couldn't do
anything, that we did it.
And then this is where it allstarted.
You guys, you'll get to see my,you get to see a little
documentary and then from thatdocumentary we have a
(18:55):
documentary that is in themaking right now called define
the narrative, and it is thisjourney of myself.
It is literally the journey ofmyself and trying to navigate
this whole idea of what it meansto exist and be here and human
and bridge my own gap between myown mind and my own body and my
own soul, and recognize that myphysical form here is a vessel.
(19:15):
It carries this voice, itcarries this message, it carries
the essence, it carries thespirit, it carries the strength,
but who I am and where I gopast the physical form, that is
the part where is the allunknown, but I know it exists
and where it makes me understandthat none of this matters, but
(19:35):
everything matters and that, nomatter what you do, it's so
insignificant, yet it is themost significant thing you could
ever do, because you exist inyour time and space.
So of course it's the mostsignificant thing for you.
But then, on the grand schemeof things, nope, not at all,
except for that one blimp of youcontributed by existing.
(19:58):
We're literally just byexisting, and so it goes back
into that.
And when I look back onto this,this particular project that we
did and it literally started outas a hey Adela I have a school
project of a dear friend of mine, will Cook, who's in LA right
now.
He's working his butt off umwith Ashley Below and AJ Medina,
(20:20):
all the humans who've actuallykind of helped, who've helped me
really grow into this, into thehuman I am today, just by, I
always say, indulging my crazyantics.
But they saw something that Ididn't even necessarily fully
have the confidence in to voicethe way, but there was a part of
me which I see even now that Ihad no control over and I had to
(20:42):
create.
So I want you to definitelytake a look at that, as you can
see, look at the difference,look at this.
It's insane, the differencebetween that being and this
being.
The difference in conversation,mannerism is still pretty much
there.
The face can't be fixed.
The face and the facialexpressions are all the same.
However, the essence isdifferent and the joy is
(21:05):
different, but my belief isstill the same.
My ambition, my hope, my dreams, everything is still the same.
And so take a look at it,because I think it's.
I think it would be a a goodlittle moment for you to do um,
and then you can go down here onour website again and download
(21:27):
our in here, submit and sign upagain and start your journey
right now and how you can starthealing your process.
And, like I talked about thatroadmap to functionality, it's
just looking at where your needis.
Are you in your need ofsurvival or in your need of want
, or are you in your um?
And if you're in need ofsurvival, then figure that out.
How do you get out of survival?
And then, if you're in need ofI'm sorry, need of living, not
(21:48):
want living, then figure out howyou're going to get to your
want.
Living is the state I'm inright now, and what requires me
to get to my want is extremediscipline, extreme transparency
, extreme commitment, extremedurability and resilience,
because, my goodness, the amountof times I feel defeated just
by existing for what I want todo, let alone.
(22:12):
And then when I look back onthe things that I've done and
how far I've come and all ofthis that I've created, I'm like
, dude, calm down it.
What you've done is crazy,insane compared to what most
people do.
And then I look at people.
I just watched a documentaryabout you know, uh, the most
dangerous women, uh, in America,and it was about some of the.
(22:35):
It was a documentary on womenin prison.
And then I think I look, lookat their life and their
structure, daily structure.
It's literally every single day.
They only do a certain thing.
It's done, it's, that's it.
There's no, I mean there's more, but there's no more than what
is.
And I now, I mean there's more,but there's no more than what
(22:58):
is, and I know, and I know,looking at it, going oh my
goodness, I'm not in there Likenobody puts cuffs on me when I
walk out my door, when I want togo somewhere, and nobody and I
get why I get all of that.
But it just puts it intoperspective that the cons, the
decisions I make, leads toconsequences.
Right, that I'm eithercontrolled by someone else or I
am in charge of my own life, andI want to be in charge of my
(23:18):
own life.
I want to be on my own terms, Iwant to be empowered by my own
self.
So this is what I want to teachyou through Project Human.
This is what I want you tounderstand about yourself.
This is what I want you to seeand recognize that it's
important to be empowered.
It's important to be transparent, to communicate, to include not
just the people you like andfit your profile and your
(23:43):
demographic, but to include allhumans okay, all humans that
exist into our life, and I don'tmean into my 40 inches, because
I can't handle that.
That's a billion human beingson this planet, almost nine into
my life.
No way, no way, jose.
However, I can include thethought of how can I impact
(24:06):
potentially in my existence,with the smallest of actions on
a daily, how can I make, maybemake a change on that grand
scheme of scales?
And so I get that opportunity.
And how do I do it safely andhow do I do it with trust and
how do I do it with dignity?
And so these are all parts ofrequirements in my life that we
have, and we teach you thatthrough Project Human.
(24:26):

hey, I want to subscribe, thenhit that subscribe channel and
(25:28):

So there's that.
Please do so, because we'dreally, really, really, really,
really appreciate it.
So, before I get into my nexttopic that I want to talk about,
which was and it's not going tobe a long one it's Veterans Day
and why that is an importantone that, as I move forward, I
will be very much more consciousof in being vocal about.
(25:48):
I have not been vocal incertain things that I have been,
in my private or everyday life,vocal about, but not
necessarily like this, because Ihaven't been able to put
together the words to do what Ineed to say.
One of the things I'm learningis that I don't want to just
speak, right.
I don't want to just speakwords and say words that are
just just words.
(26:10):
They're not just words.
Words are so powerful, wordshave so much impact, and the
thing that I'm learning theselast couple of weeks
specifically is we want to twistthe words in our own emotion,
our own feeling, to fit intowhere we are, versus
(26:34):
understanding that the wordsaren't an emotion.
Words are words, just words.
And those words, just words.
Those words, when put ittogether into a sequence, create
a powerful intention, right.
And if you're speaking in termsof I can't, I'm not capable, I
(26:57):
should or I shouldn't, insteadof it is done, it is as is, it
is done like let's move, I am,or in the more powerful tense,
then you are taking away yourown energy because what you're
doing is feeding your own braingoing I can't do this, and
instantly that one goes oh,instead of it's done, I don't
(27:20):
know how, don't care, how don'tunderstand and maybe even think
about what's required and whatresources are going to be needed
or what I need to do.
Don't care.
You know why?
Because it's done.
It is done.
The action, the thought that Ihave, that for the passion, for
what I want, is done.
Now make sure it's a good oneand not a bad one.
(27:40):
You don't want it to do badconsequences, right, you don't
want to go to jail, you don'twant to go hurt people, you
don't want to hurt yourself, youdon't want to do all those
things.
So be mindful that your words,when put into a sequence, that
your words, when put into asequence, when put into a string
, they create an effect for youand they can bind you to
(28:01):
yourself and they can bind youto an idea.
They can bind you to someoneelse, to an ideology, they can
bind you to whatever.
And if you're going to be boundto something, ensure that
you're binding yourself tosomething powerful, something
inspiring, something motivating,something good, positive,
(28:27):
influential, structural thingthat gives you peace versus
anxiety.
And the thing that I'm learningand it just hit me, it just hit
me is that I have spent mywhole life saying I don't want
to be minded, I don't want tolive a mediocre life.
Mediocre life and, my goodness,have I never lived a mediocre
life?
Are you kidding me?
I survived a fucking war, Icame across the ocean, I made it
(28:53):
through like that's notmediocre life, that's insane
life.
And the part that I reallywanted to not live was a mundane
life.
But I didn't understand thepeace of becoming mundane and
there's a positivity to it, andthen there's a sense of
(29:15):
stability in it and there's asense of safety in that, and
I've learned how to live amundane life a bit versus a
mediocre life, and I am learninghow to infuse it all together
because it just it.
(29:36):
When I think about again thewords, we're so confused by what
they mean, based on how we feeland where we want to go and
what we want to do, versus whatthey actually are, and me
learning to redefine my ownnarrative, and I had to redefine
it through words, literallygoing back in, and what does
this mean?
And which one of thesedefinitions applies?
(29:59):
In what situation right now?
And where exactly am I in?
Why is it more relevant thatit's this and not this?
Not that I have to combine it.
So there's like a whole processthat goes when I'm going through
a feeling or not understanding,and I'm in my tantrum state, as
I like to call it, and I justneed to get words out, but I
(30:20):
can't, and so I will findanything that will justify where
I'm at, in my state ofexistence, and that's not what
is required, that's not what isneeded, that's what's wanted,
whether that's good or bad, butthat's what's wanted.
And so understanding yourself,knowing that allows you to
create processes and createpathways that, when you know
you're in that situation, againyou can.
(30:41):
But you know what.
I don't need to throw that bigtantrum.
This way I can do this and Ican do this, and I can do this
and I can say this.
I don't understand if this iswhat I mean by this.
It may be the wrong choice ofwords and the wrong string
compilation of them, so I mayneed to reword them later.
(31:01):
But knowing that and being ableto come back to yourself,
reflect upon yourself and say Iwas wrong, I needed to reflect
on this, I needed to reshift.
If I was wrong in the way Iframed my statement not not the
wrong, not wrong in what I wasfeeling and not wrong in where I
was at, but the way I framed mystatement, the way I come, came
about, and here's where I wasat and here's what I'm doing.
And the reason I say that isbecause I've had a few instances
(31:24):
where I've just had this week,my own self included gotten hit
with.
That's not what you meant andI'm like, oh my goodness, I'm so
sorry Because I used the wrongchoice word.
And same thing with you knowour coaching sessions.
I see a lot of miscommunicationcome back into that, just
because when we're in a state ofexistence we don't know how to
(31:46):
process something, we don't knowhow to say something, so we'll
use our words and we'll saythese words that are that we
believe in our head is justright, because they justify how
we feel in our heart.
In reality, though, that's notwhat we're really really meaning
.
It's.
It's a creation of our ownimagination and, again, not to
not to invalidate any of ourfeelings and where we're at, but
(32:08):
looking back and seeing our ownresponsibility in it and our
own actions in it becomingaccountable for that gives you
the opportunity to reallysolidify relationships so that,
when you do get into a tiff andyou do have a tantrum, your
tantrum is a lot more acceptable.
Okay, your tantrum is a lot moreacceptable.
And then they'll just let youhave a tantrum.
(32:30):
Your tantrum is a lot moreacceptable.
Okay, your tantrum is a lotmore acceptable.
And then they'll just let youhave a tantrum, and then what
they'll do is come back in andbe like listen, you said a few
things, adela.
Now I know you didn't mean them, but the way you said them and
what you said was justabsolutely out of line.
So what we're going to have todo is we're going to rephrase
that correct.
Oh my God, that's not what Imeant at all.
No, no, no, no, I'm so sorry.
I was right here and this is.
I know where you were, butlet's fix that and let's not
make that happen again, becauseit hurts.
(32:52):
And I'm not, I'm not obligated,nor am I responsible to be here
in this position, to be therejust because you get into the
feeling and so learning thattrue stories, learning that
through people and humans whohave had enough self-awareness
to have conversations with me onthat level and teaching me to
(33:13):
have some conversations withmyself on that level, and now I
teach others, so it's never anattack on or an invalidation of
your feeling.
It is a process of it.
It is a process and it is anaccountability of it.
It is a process of it.
It is a process and it is anaccountability of it.
It is a responsibility of it,because what we're doing is
asking human beings to beresponsible for our lives.
(33:33):
We're asking them to go to warin an emotional and spiritual
level right now, not on thephysical, which we'll talk about
in a minute, but on anemotional and spiritual level
right now, because we are inneed of someone to validate that
.
That's it.
So let's not do that and if wedo, let's correct our mistakes
and be like you know what.
(33:54):
We're better for it.
We're better for it.
I wanted to again going back tothe beginning, all the way back
to the beginning.
Rewind I don't even think thatwas a rewind voice.
Going back to the beginning.
Veterans Day was yesterday.
So again, happy Veterans Day.
Veterans Day to me, now that Iknow more about it, because I
(34:16):
didn't understand fully of whyand where it came about and what
it means, I'm going to show youwhere you can find it, where
you can educate yourself, whereyou should educate yourself, and
again yourself and again.
If you're like no, we're lying,this is not it, okay, that's
cool.
Like, go down, that's cool, doyour thing.
I just I really want to payhonor and respect to the human
beings who have actuallysacrificed their life for me to
(34:39):
ensure that I am here in theUnited States and having a
conversation with you.
I am here to be able to createmy dreams, to build that, like I
am, the American dream.
I'm absolutely the Americandream when I from where I've
come, and any immigrant who'scome to this United States and
build up their life, we are theAmerican dream.
Now, the American dream may notbe available to our Americans
(35:00):
who live here, because they'reused to a certain way of living,
but where we come from andwhere we're at, we're used to a
certain way of living, but wherewe come from and where we're at
, we're used to that other wayof living, and so when we're
here, it is a whole fresh breathof air.
It doesn't mean we don't haveour struggles, but, my goodness,
does it mean we haveopportunity, does it mean we
(35:20):
have the potential and does itmean that there is the lifeline
for us to be free, save ourfamilies and and and thrive here
, like that's what americaprovides.
So if it wasn't for ourveterans, if it wasn't for human
beings deciding to give uptheir life, go on the front line
for complete and utterstrangers, for their freedoms to
(35:43):
have the right to speak, theright to exist, the right to
create, the right to carry, theright to defend, right Then we
would not have those rights,okay, so it's really important
and I want to emphasize that.
(36:04):
So let's go into that.
I want you guys to take amoment for me, if you have not,
so for next Veterans Day, whenwe do a campaign and we're
asking, calling upon it, becauseI do want to be a part of that
I want to grow more in the spaceof giving thanks and really
praising the humans and beinggrateful for the humans who
(36:27):
absolutely give up their limbs,their lives, for us to exist and
have these conversations right.
So go to go to the umdepartment of uh veterans
affairsgov departmentgov and youwill find veterans information
right here.
So what's really cool is that Ididn't know this and I should
(36:50):
have known this because I shouldhave learned in history, but I
don't know if I did or not, ormaybe I just didn't pay
attention enough in class, or Iwas just foreign and it wasn't
part of my want, which issomething that I'm advocating
for.
We should all want to learnVeterans Day.
It's right here so you guys canread along and you guys can go
on there.
I'm just going to read thiswhat it says right here how it
came about.
Um world war one, known as thetime of the great war,
(37:13):
officially ended with the treatyof versailles was signed on
june 28th 1919.
Right, however, the actualceasefire stopped seven months,
um, uh, when an armistice or atemporary cessation of
hostilities between the alliednations and Germany went into
effect on the 11th hour of the11th day, on the 11th month.
(37:34):
So that is why it is VeteransDay, november 11th, the 11th
hour, and it was the end of allwars.
And so I didn't the war to endall wars.
And did we end all wars?
No, we didn't.
Obviously, we're stillcontinuing to fight a thousand
and one of them, but the ideathat war to end all wars was
(37:57):
something I didn't see that asthat way and why it made me go
wow, adela, you have not takenit as seriously as you should
have been as open about it,because you talk about where you
come from.
You have this idea abouthonoring those who did do what
they did for you, and yet you'renot really giving that same
attention here.
So I want to be on that.
(38:18):
I want to do that, and itdoesn't matter you know when you
start, as you can see.
It just matters that you start.
So this is really cool and Iwanted to read this to you,
which by President Wilson in1919, the speech that he did,
which was really something I waslike, yeah, I've listened to.
(38:41):
I love listening to history, Ilove listening to, I love
watching documentaries, I lovestudying and understanding why
we behave the way we behave, whywe think the way we think.
I love seeing how words andspeech is going to influence and
change the way we do things.
I love seeing how one humanbeing's idea excuse me and
thought can literally shift thewhole cosmic experience of human
(39:05):
life.
And we've seen that on a goodscale and we've seen that on a
bad scale in many occasionsthrough our history.
And one of the things that I'vemissed in our occasions of
history is these great speechesabout honor and about prosperity
and about love and aboutpatriotism and about compassion
and sympathy and and justopportunity.
(39:27):
And this is a really cool onebecause, uh, president wilson
proclaimed november 11th as thefirst commemorations of
armistice day with the followingwords and please let me know
which words I'm pronouncingwrong too, because I do speak a
second language and we'll justuse that as my excuse to us in
america the reflections of armsto stay will be filled with
(39:49):
solemn pride in the heroism ofthose who died in the country
service and with gratitude forthe victory, both because of the
thing from which it has freedus and because of the
opportunity has given america toshow her sympathy with peace,
justice in the council of theNow.
Did we achieve all of thosepeace nations and the Council?
No, not all of them.
Right, however, we have,literally.
(40:11):
We have.
We, the United States ofAmerica have literally protected
our freedoms and ouropportunity to be able to
actually have that.
It's never too late, and I thinkthe reminder of us of what
happened in our history andgoing back in and understanding
why something was started, howwe've come to where we're at now
(40:33):
, is really important.
And what's other cool is thatif we were to actually look at
this from the perspective ofwhat others have given up for us
to do what we're doing, insteadof what we don't have right now
or what others don't have atthe moment we can see that those
(41:00):
who gave up for us didn't haveanything to begin with.
For the most part, all they hadwas their good conscience,
their, their human soul andtheir want to protect human life
, because they understood thatthe need for that was the most
important, that without theexistence of a human and the
freedom for a human to do whatit needs to do, we would never
be in a position where we're atnow.
(41:21):
So I think it's importantwhether again, you agree with me
or not, whether you agree withour, our government or anything,
you have to understand you haveto respect the human beings
that have actually sacrificedfor us to be here.
You don't have to like half ofanything, but you do have to
respect and be.
(41:42):
You do that part I'm not gonnalet you go away with.
You do have to respect thosehumans who have suffered, who
have given, who have literally Ithink of it as the um their
sacrifice, the, the, the, uh,what is her name in the marvel
movie?
The black widow.
Right, she sacrificed herselffor the yellow stone to save the
(42:03):
world and there's no comingback from that.
Like she's the one that doesn'tcome back now.
I don't, please don't think I'mlike a huge Marvel movie fan or
know anything about that much.
I don't know half the stuffthat I pull out of my butt, but
I do know what I'm talking about.
So, but it's like that to me,it's making a decision that you
yourself, the worth of yourself,was for this.
(42:24):
Your you yourself, the worth ofyourself, was for this, that
your moment for this life was tobe able to be here so that
others could carry on.
I don't know if, well, I don'thave the capacity.
My sister does.
She's in the military and I'mso grateful for it.
Her husband absolutely.
Friends of mine, they're in and, my goodness, I don't have that
(42:46):
in me.
And that part is like I wouldnot volunteer to go fight in
that Now, if it came to my dooryes, if it came to I had to
fight.
No, there's a difference.
But to just volunteer, just togo off, just to save someone
like me in a foreign country andgive me the opportunity to come
(43:07):
here and have a conversationand do this, the amount of
humans who have died for me todo that is countless.
I will never know their name, Iwill never know their story, I
will never know their family, Iwill never know anything on that
, but what I will know is thesacrifice that they did was so
that I could be here and I couldbe grateful and I could fight
(43:28):
for this portion of it.
And so, yes, so happy VeteransDay.
And, um, I don't know how happywe are about the you know
fighting all the time, buthere's what I will say thank you
, thank you for your service,thank you for saving me, thank
(43:51):
you for going into places thatno one else would be and
allowing children like myself togrow into humans who come here
and who are wanting to make achange, who want to live a
better life and who want toimpact in a way that is
meaningful and that does youhonor and justice and that
creates pathways for us to showour own patriotism, not only to
(44:15):
our country but to ourselves andto who we are as a human
existence.
So, anyway, that is my spielfor the day.

hello friends, hello world.
Welcome to the artist withinpodcast.
I am your host, adela hitel.
This is season one, the wordresilience, and it is produced
and hosted by think a new way tothink, project human.
If you guys can hear my dogswhimpering in the background
right now, the attention is onsomething, but I'm not stopping
(00:30):
because, well, I have things todo.
Today it's spa day, it's mymental health day, and I'm
really, really excited because Ihave had to push this off for
the last two, three weeks.
Normally, I'm scheduled like onthe dot, where I need to be,
with what I need to be.
I also need to clean my glassesbecause I've just realized I
can't see.
Um, because I, well, I needthat.
(00:52):
A couple of things I want totalk to you about today is, well
, your, your mental health, asalways.
Uh, I wanted to talk about theorganization a little bit and
then I wanted to also talk toyou about Veterans Day.
I think I'll start off withthat and then we'll kind of go
into shifting into a lot of theother things that I want to talk
about, because it's importantand Veterans Day was yesterday.
(01:15):
So happy Veterans Day to allthe veterans and every human
who's ever supported us, who'sever been here, have been there
and will continue to be there togive us there we go, to give us
the safety, security that weneed, the prosperity that we
need here in the United States,and so, as a being and as
(01:39):
someone who has had theopportunity to be blessed by
those who have decided tosacrifice for her, I am very
honored and very thankful, and Ialso have family in the
military and retired as well.
And so thank you, guys forserving, thank you to all my
friends, thank you for justcontinuing to again keep me safe
, keep my family safe and keepour country safe.
(02:01):
So I will get into that in justa minute and kind of because I
want to talk to you about that.
I think it's important to know alittle bit about the history
and where you can find it, andjust to understand a bit more.
I think we as a community, as aUnited Nations, could use a
little bit more reminder of allthe reasons why we have fought
(02:23):
for what we have fought, why weare where we are, and whether
you agree with it or not, youdon't have to, you really don't.
You do not have to agree withanything I say today you do not.
You can literally be like youare full of shit, adela.
It's like you have no idea whatyou're talking about, and to
you, you're right, I have noidea what I'm talking about.
But then, on vice versa, it'sthe same way to you, you have no
(02:50):
idea what I'm talking about.
Then, in that respect, becauseyou didn't live my life, you
didn't live through what I'velived through, you didn't see
the sacrifices that humans havemade for me, specifically in
person, in real time, to ensurethat I'm alive here today, and
then I have the opportunity tospeak to you, to create, to do
all of these things with you.
So again, however you may feelabout any of our political
(03:13):
spectrum not into politics, eventhough I'm learning about it,
and I'm learning that everythingis intertwined one way or
another.
Those are personal choices anddecisions that we all make on
there, and those areconversations that we should all
be able to have as civil humanbeings.
And I think that it's reallyimportant for us to educate
ourselves, all of us this isn'tabout any, again, any side or
(03:36):
anything, it's just every beingshould educate themselves,
especially here in the UnitedStates, of why we fight, we
fight, and the only way toeducate ourselves is through
conversation, through meaningfulconversation, and that's
something that I think we aregoing to be seeing hopefully
excuse me a lot more of in thecoming future.
Excuse me again, in the comingfuture, and especially for our
(03:57):
children.
Because how do we want tocontinue fighting and solving
problems?
Do we want to continue sendingour human beings to fight and do
we want to continue askinghuman beings to fight on behalf
of our own selves?
Because we can't handleproblems, because we are too
good for conversation right,we're too uncomfortable for
conversation, and to me, that isjust important to understand so
(04:18):
that we can change the way wemove.
We redefine the narrative.
You are the artist.
Artist, you are the creator ofyour life, you are the creator
of the way everything goes, andso, if you're not creating your
way, that is meaningful for you,that is impactful for you, that
makes changes for you, that isinspiring for you, if it's
negative, life is not negative.
We create the negativity in it.
(04:39):
Life is just life, it exists,just like you, the exists, and
then you create everything elseoutside of it.
You are born, you exist.
That is it.
That is literally the truth ofthis life, of this reality.
You are born, you exist, thislife exists, it is born.
We are here.
Everything else, we, on anindividual basis and as a
collective, create and the restof the consequences, and
(05:07):
whatever the fall, upfall,downfall, whatever my come out
outcome of it is, it is ourresponsibility period and no
matter how big or small.
And the fact that we continueto avoid that responsibility and
avoid that accountability ofthe actions that we take on a
daily basis and yet we have theaudacity to tell people how to
live their life and what to doon their daily basis is just
mind-blowing to me.
So, anyway, a little tangent offtrack, I didn't mean to do that
(05:28):
, but I guess I did.
I needed it.
So what's been going on?
Um, let's get into talkingabout Project Human just a
little bit.
I would love for you guys tolet's go into the website right
now and see where we're at,because I want to, here we go.
So let's get you guys onto thewebsite, let's get you to sign
(05:48):
up and join our community.
We have a huge undertaking thatI want to initiate this next
year 2025.
It is for 2026.
It is for a big event that Iwant to do.
I want to produce in the city.
I want to create a way forJacksonville to recognize the
(06:11):
space that it has already andthat it holds already for humans
and for our mental healthconversation, for the arts and
for everything that we are as acommunity.
One of the things that I'venoticed is that we're so
separated in so many differentways and the information doesn't
come to us as quickly.
And we do have events and wehave so many resources and when
(06:34):
I say so many resources here, wereally genuinely have so many
resources.
But when I talk to human beings, just everyday Joes like myself
, it is very difficult for me totell them and be like hey, you
have this resource, this ishappening, and they go.
What do you mean?
When has this been here?
How come I've not heard aboutit?
How come this, how come that?
And so the fact that we arelacking ourselves as
(06:57):
organizations right, we'relacking in funding, we're
lacking in staff, we're lackingin ways to get our message
across, get our resources outthere to people.
They're also lacking inreceiving the information.
So the idea for us is to hold athree-day mental health summit
and it is going to provide theinformation, education, that's
(07:18):
necessary and required for thehuman being to be able to
sustain themselves and win andmove forward right To really
really learn about themselvesand who they are.
And then our third one is theday of celebration.
It is our gala night, it is ourfundraising night, it is the
idea of coming together andcreating a masterpiece,
producing an event, producing astory that's redefined with a
(07:40):
community, not just a storythat's been told over and over
again.
So everything has pretty muchbeen set into place on our back
end as far as the, what we need,what we're going to be
structuring, where we're goingto be, and phase one kicks off
in January of 2025.
So it would be so fantastic andawesome.
If you will do me the honors,get on our website right here,
(08:00):
right here at the on ProjectHuman, here, right here at the
um on project human.
If you go to thinkingorgp-h-i-n-c-i-n-gorg thinkingorg
and sign up, join our fancommunity.
It's free.
Obviously, you'll get ournewsletter.
I don't send as manynewsletters as you would think
because, well, again, one of thethings that we lack is the full
(08:22):
staff to be able to bombard youwith the amount of greatness
that we have and possess.
So we're going to do it thisway and you'll be hearing from
me as the time goes on, but ifyou join the community, you'll
get information from me.
You'll also receive, when yousign up right here, you'll also
receive a free download, alittle bit of roadmap to
functionality, and it was a PDFthat I created a little while
(08:45):
ago that helped me understandand navigate when I felt stuck.
Where am I at right?
Am I in my need?
Am I in my requirement or am Iin my want?
And, depending on the stage ofwhere I'm at?
And the level of where I'm atwill depend on the actions and
the decisions that I need tomake.
And so I have to really behonest with myself, reflect upon
(09:05):
that state where I'm at clearly, and then move forward.
And so that's what Project Humanteaches.
We teach you how to recognizeyour being for what it is,
recognize where you are and beable to shift your perspective
into action that is required foryou and what you need.
Please understand this is notabout how to teach you to be a
(09:28):
selfless, independent humanbeing and, like independent
woman, independent man.
No, this is how to be anaccountable, responsible human
for your actions, your decisions, your consequences, which
inevitably have an effect onsociety.
Right, you may not think thatyou are worth it.
You may not think that you havean impact.
(09:48):
You may not believe that, butthe honest truth is the complete
opposite.
Like, you are absolutely animpact in this world, good or
bad.
You are an impact Because youexist.
The consequences you willimpact period's so powerful.
That's so amazing.
(10:08):
So I want you to understandthat.
So join our community, get on,we would love to have you.
You'll just sign on right here.
I don't need you know your,your firstborn or your blood
type or anything.
Just your name and email willbe perfect.
Uh, and then we'll go fromthere and then we'll invite you
to our January call forvolunteers, because in January
(10:28):
we are going to be doing amassive volunteer call.
So that, and if you don't wantto sign up, you can just click
the close button right there.
And then, you know, get ontoour website.
But we'll be putting ourinformation on here.
Here's a little informationthat we're going to be putting
onto the website.
We'll have a page here that'llright on the top, right up here,
that will say hey, you know,we've got our mental health
(10:50):
summit coming up.
Here's the information you need.
Sign up, join our groups, jointhe conversation, get on board.
We have an opportunity as acommunity, specifically in
Jacksonville, right, but this isalso for sponsors, for people
who want to come in and be apart of something big.
We have an opportunity to uniteas a people, as a one, to
(11:13):
ensure that we educate, weinform okay and then we
celebrate each other.
We have an opportunity tocreate something so epic, so
powerful, so impactful, somoving.
It all requires is just alittle bit of work, only a
little two years of work, and alittle bit of grinding and a
little bit of crying and alittle bit of hustling, a little
bustling.
(11:34):
It's okay, I promise it's okay,because the end result will be
so worth it.
It will be so worth it.
So I want you to join me onthat.
I really, really want you tojoin me on that.
It's going to be.
It's something I've been workingon for a couple years now.
The idea came to me, I want tosay, years and years ago, like
six, seven years ago, as awindow theory about cleaning
(11:55):
windows, doing things, and nowit's turned into this mental
health summit and the idea ofcleansing the self through
education, through information,the idea of building itself
through creation and celebration.
And so join me.
I can't wait to have you onboard.
So go onto our website, sign up.
Go listen to the podcast rightnow.
Right, that we're talking about.
Go listen to it.
I appreciate you which, speakingof you guys, have given us the
(12:17):
opportunity to reach almost 300downloads 300 downloads on my
first season.
I honestly didn't expect like10, to be honest.
Well, okay, I expected 10.
I have, I know, 10 people whowould actually listen to me,
maybe and download me, right,but to see the reoccurrence, to
see us across the aisles, acrossthe oceans, to be in our United
(12:41):
States, to be across the UnitedStates, really be impacting
human beings.
I'm so honored.
I'm so honored that you want tolisten.
I'm so honored that you findvalue and that you see us as a
platform and as a resource inwhich you can gain insight, find
(13:02):
your light and share with yourown self and others the impact
that Project Human has not onlyon you but on everyone else.
Project Human, again, is theidea that the human being is the
ultimate goal.
I mean, if you look ateverything that's going on in
the world, right, everybodytalks, it's a person, a person
in marketing and in fundraisingand in anything, in anywhere
(13:25):
you're going in all my smallbusiness owners and business
owners will understand this.
They're always asking you who'syour target audience, who's
your one person you're targeting?
Give me that.
Are they between this age?
Are they this?
Are they that?
Are they that they're trying toget to the smallest minuscule
thing about a human being thatthey don't even know and then
clumping everybody into thisgeneral thing which, again, I
get it.
(13:45):
It makes the money.
They get the eyes.
It's eyeballs, it's that.
But the idea for us is not.
That idea is that everyindividual being that we're
reaching, that we're talking to,is its own, full, influential,
full, 100%, like that's ourtarget.
It's the full human, it's apiece of him.
It's not in a price range, it'snot at a age range, it's not at
(14:09):
a color range, it's not at anintellect range, it's none of
the demographics that we'relooking for.
It's not in that range.
It is a human being.
And how do you describe a humanbeing as an existing being?
A human being as an existingbeing?
A human being as an existingbeing, and and to me it's just
(14:30):
in physical form.
It's just so powerful.
So I can't you know.
So we go not necessarilyagainst the grain, but we go
against the grain for that.
So we want to invite you tojoin our against the grain fight
the fight all the little labelsand separators and dividers
that we have and unite togetheras a one.
We did a project called SuicideAwareness Prevention and this
(14:51):
was my.
You know.
You can watch all of these onhere.
We have on here as well.
You can watch our clubchallenge interactions that
we've had and workshops that wedo.
We do this is one of our Dexterstyle paintings and we come in
and we put together this wholefield for you so that you get to
really experience, um, what itmeans to work on your individual
self and create yourself.
(15:12):
And you may not think you're anartist.
Believe me, the amount of timesI get, I'm not an artist.
I don't know what to do.
It doesn't matter.
It really it has no matter ofthat.
That is a.
That is a missing, misinformednarrative of yourself that you
have that was passed down bysomeone or something or a
thought or an idea of someoneelse that it wasn't you.
(15:34):
So go check it out.
I think it's really.
This is one of my favoritethings to do in what I do is to
create, is to get together andput this together.
It genuinely brings me so much,so much joy.
So please take a look at it andsee and watch them.
It was really cool experience.
I had the best time workingwith this group of humans.
I really genuinely did.
(15:56):
It was the most awesome processof me and this is how I heal.
This is literally how I heal,so it makes me so happy.
So watch that.
I think it's cool, and thencheck catch up on my interviews
from our the Daily News Networkwith Client Focused Media, where
(16:17):
they help and giveorganizations like myself an
opportunity to come in and chat.
You know about what we're doing, about our mission, so I've had
the opportunity, privilege, togo on there, share my mission in
the last couple years over timeand really grow into my
narrative.
What's been fantastic is thatI've used the platform as my way
of understanding what it isthat I'm saying, how I'm saying
(16:39):
it, why I'm saying it, ensuringthat my message is as consistent
as possible and as strong aspossible and as structured as
possible, and you can see thegrowth in it.
Which is what I love about thiswhole process is that you
genuinely get to see my owngrowth through all of this
project, human creation.
It's not just, oh, adela'sdoing this and she's here now,
like this has been seven, eightyears now in the making of
(17:03):
trying to understand what I wantthe organization to be gaining
the confidence, really gainingthe confidence to speak.
My narrative becoming a leaderthat I've wanted to become,
becoming a strong and confidentvoice of my own self and in my
community, becoming a trustedvoice in my community Whether or
not you like me, that's a wholedifferent story.
But at least you can't say thatI am not there when I'm asked,
(17:28):
or that I don't deliver when Iwant to deliver and when I need
to deliver, when we cometogether to deliver, or that I'm
not capable or that I'm notgoing to follow through, which I
wasn't before I get it.
There's plenty of you guys thatwill know Adela.
That is not the you we know,which is true.
It is not the me you know, butthe me you know has grown.
The me you knew versus the meyou know.
(17:50):
This me has grown so muchversus that me, and that me is
oh, I can see, I can see that me, the pain, I can see it in my
eyes.
I can literally feel it in myeyes.
There's a difference in how Icompletely exist, in the
confidence and the exuberancethat I possess, and so it's
(18:12):
really cool to see myself inthat perspective, to see the
growth.
So go, check it out.
I think you'll find enjoying itand enjoy it as well.
And then you'll also see ourwhat are they called Our project
, our checkmate?
Whoa?
We did not mean to do that,that was too much.
(18:34):
You'll see our checkmateproject that was what I meant to
say right up here.
You'll see that.
Please check that out, becausethat is a project that was
really inspiring for me to do asa community, especially during
the COVID times and when we weretold not to, we couldn't do
anything, that we did it.
And then this is where it allstarted.
You guys, you'll get to see my,you get to see a little
documentary and then from thatdocumentary we have a
(18:55):
documentary that is in themaking right now called define
the narrative, and it is thisjourney of myself.
It is literally the journey ofmyself and trying to navigate
this whole idea of what it meansto exist and be here and human
and bridge my own gap between myown mind and my own body and my
own soul, and recognize that myphysical form here is a vessel.
(19:15):
It carries this voice, itcarries this message, it carries
the essence, it carries thespirit, it carries the strength,
but who I am and where I gopast the physical form, that is
the part where is the allunknown, but I know it exists
and where it makes me understandthat none of this matters, but
(19:35):
everything matters and that, nomatter what you do, it's so
insignificant, yet it is themost significant thing you could
ever do, because you exist inyour time and space.
So of course it's the mostsignificant thing for you.
But then, on the grand schemeof things, nope, not at all,
except for that one blimp of youcontributed by existing.
(19:58):
We're literally just byexisting, and so it goes back
into that.
And when I look back onto this,this particular project that we
did and it literally started outas a hey Adela I have a school
project of a dear friend of mine, will Cook, who's in LA right
now.
He's working his butt off umwith Ashley Below and AJ Medina,
(20:20):
all the humans who've actuallykind of helped, who've helped me
really grow into this, into thehuman I am today, just by, I
always say, indulging my crazyantics.
But they saw something that Ididn't even necessarily fully
have the confidence in to voicethe way, but there was a part of
me which I see even now that Ihad no control over and I had to
(20:42):
create.
So I want you to definitelytake a look at that, as you can
see, look at the difference,look at this.
It's insane, the differencebetween that being and this
being.
The difference in conversation,mannerism is still pretty much
there.
The face can't be fixed.
The face and the facialexpressions are all the same.
However, the essence isdifferent and the joy is
(21:05):
different, but my belief isstill the same.
My ambition, my hope, my dreams, everything is still the same.
And so take a look at it,because I think it's.
I think it would be a a goodlittle moment for you to do um,
and then you can go down here onour website again and download
(21:27):
our in here, submit and sign upagain and start your journey
right now and how you can starthealing your process.
And, like I talked about thatroadmap to functionality, it's
just looking at where your needis.
Are you in your need ofsurvival or in your need of want
, or are you in your um?
And if you're in need ofsurvival, then figure that out.
How do you get out of survival?
And then, if you're in need ofI'm sorry, need of living, not
(21:48):
want living, then figure out howyou're going to get to your
want.
Living is the state I'm inright now, and what requires me
to get to my want is extremediscipline, extreme transparency
, extreme commitment, extremedurability and resilience,
because, my goodness, the amountof times I feel defeated just
by existing for what I want todo, let alone.
(22:12):
And then when I look back onthe things that I've done and
how far I've come and all ofthis that I've created, I'm like
, dude, calm down it.
What you've done is crazy,insane compared to what most
people do.
And then I look at people.
I just watched a documentaryabout you know, uh, the most
dangerous women, uh, in America,and it was about some of the.
(22:35):
It was a documentary on womenin prison.
And then I think I look, lookat their life and their
structure, daily structure.
It's literally every single day.
They only do a certain thing.
It's done, it's, that's it.
There's no, I mean there's more, but there's no more than what
is.
And I now, I mean there's more,but there's no more than what
(22:58):
is, and I know, and I know,looking at it, going oh my
goodness, I'm not in there Likenobody puts cuffs on me when I
walk out my door, when I want togo somewhere, and nobody and I
get why I get all of that.
But it just puts it intoperspective that the cons, the
decisions I make, leads toconsequences.
Right, that I'm eithercontrolled by someone else or I
am in charge of my own life, andI want to be in charge of my
(23:18):
own life.
I want to be on my own terms, Iwant to be empowered by my own
self.
So this is what I want to teachyou through Project Human.
This is what I want you tounderstand about yourself.
This is what I want you to seeand recognize that it's
important to be empowered.
It's important to be transparent, to communicate, to include not
just the people you like andfit your profile and your
(23:43):
demographic, but to include allhumans okay, all humans that
exist into our life, and I don'tmean into my 40 inches, because
I can't handle that.
That's a billion human beingson this planet, almost nine into
my life.
No way, no way, jose.
However, I can include thethought of how can I impact
(24:06):
potentially in my existence,with the smallest of actions on
a daily, how can I make, maybemake a change on that grand
scheme of scales?
And so I get that opportunity.
And how do I do it safely andhow do I do it with trust and
how do I do it with dignity?
And so these are all parts ofrequirements in my life that we
have, and we teach you thatthrough Project Human.
(24:26):
So go check it out, go sign up,support.
Our donation link is coming upsoon, so that will be available
to donate really soon.
So if you're looking to donate,I promise you that'll be up,
probably by the time you arelistening to this, or if not,
it's almost.
It's almost done.
We're getting some bankingissues not issues banking
banking dots and t's and allthat other good stuff in the
(24:47):
back end to do, because, again,we have a big mission.
That big mission is going torequire big money and that big
money is going to be needed, tobe raised and need to be put
together, need to be found, andwe know that there is.
That big money is going to helpcommunity, and so we understand
the, the concept and what weneed to do.
So take a look at us, take alook at that.
Find us also speaking of us.

(25:28):

So there's that.
Please do so, because we'dreally, really, really, really,
really appreciate it.
So, before I get into my nexttopic that I want to talk about,
which was and it's not going tobe a long one it's Veterans Day
and why that is an importantone that, as I move forward, I
will be very much more consciousof in being vocal about.
(25:48):
I have not been vocal incertain things that I have been,
in my private or everyday life,vocal about, but not
necessarily like this, because Ihaven't been able to put
together the words to do what Ineed to say.
One of the things I'm learningis that I don't want to just
speak, right.
I don't want to just speakwords and say words that are
just just words.
(26:10):
They're not just words.
Words are so powerful, wordshave so much impact, and the
thing that I'm learning theselast couple of weeks
specifically is we want to twistthe words in our own emotion,
our own feeling, to fit intowhere we are, versus
(26:34):
understanding that the wordsaren't an emotion.
Words are words, just words.
And those words, just words.
Those words, when put ittogether into a sequence, create
a powerful intention, right.
And if you're speaking in termsof I can't, I'm not capable, I
(26:57):
should or I shouldn't, insteadof it is done, it is as is, it
is done like let's move, I am,or in the more powerful tense,
then you are taking away yourown energy because what you're
doing is feeding your own braingoing I can't do this, and
instantly that one goes oh,instead of it's done, I don't
(27:20):
know how, don't care, how don'tunderstand and maybe even think
about what's required and whatresources are going to be needed
or what I need to do.
Don't care.
You know why?
Because it's done.
It is done.
The action, the thought that Ihave, that for the passion, for
what I want, is done.
Now make sure it's a good oneand not a bad one.
(27:40):
You don't want it to do badconsequences, right, you don't
want to go to jail, you don'twant to go hurt people, you
don't want to hurt yourself, youdon't want to do all those
things.
So be mindful that your words,when put into a sequence, that
your words, when put into asequence, when put into a string
, they create an effect for youand they can bind you to
(28:01):
yourself and they can bind youto an idea.
They can bind you to someoneelse, to an ideology, they can
bind you to whatever.
And if you're going to be boundto something, ensure that
you're binding yourself tosomething powerful, something
inspiring, something motivating,something good, positive,
(28:27):
influential, structural thingthat gives you peace versus
anxiety.
And the thing that I'm learningand it just hit me, it just hit
me is that I have spent mywhole life saying I don't want
to be minded, I don't want tolive a mediocre life.
Mediocre life and, my goodness,have I never lived a mediocre
life?
Are you kidding me?
I survived a fucking war, Icame across the ocean, I made it
(28:53):
through like that's notmediocre life, that's insane
life.
And the part that I reallywanted to not live was a mundane
life.
But I didn't understand thepeace of becoming mundane and
there's a positivity to it, andthen there's a sense of
(29:15):
stability in it and there's asense of safety in that, and
I've learned how to live amundane life a bit versus a
mediocre life, and I am learninghow to infuse it all together
because it just it.
(29:36):
When I think about again thewords, we're so confused by what
they mean, based on how we feeland where we want to go and
what we want to do, versus whatthey actually are, and me
learning to redefine my ownnarrative, and I had to redefine
it through words, literallygoing back in, and what does
this mean?
And which one of thesedefinitions applies?
(29:59):
In what situation right now?
And where exactly am I in?
Why is it more relevant thatit's this and not this?
Not that I have to combine it.
So there's like a whole processthat goes when I'm going through
a feeling or not understanding,and I'm in my tantrum state, as
I like to call it, and I justneed to get words out, but I
(30:20):
can't, and so I will findanything that will justify where
I'm at, in my state ofexistence, and that's not what
is required, that's not what isneeded, that's what's wanted,
whether that's good or bad, butthat's what's wanted.
And so understanding yourself,knowing that allows you to
create processes and createpathways that, when you know
you're in that situation, againyou can.
(30:41):
But you know what.
I don't need to throw that bigtantrum.
This way I can do this and Ican do this, and I can do this
and I can say this.
I don't understand if this iswhat I mean by this.
It may be the wrong choice ofwords and the wrong string
compilation of them, so I mayneed to reword them later.
(31:01):
But knowing that and being ableto come back to yourself,
reflect upon yourself and say Iwas wrong, I needed to reflect
on this, I needed to reshift.
If I was wrong in the way Iframed my statement not not the
wrong, not wrong in what I wasfeeling and not wrong in where I
was at, but the way I framed mystatement, the way I come, came
about, and here's where I wasat and here's what I'm doing.
And the reason I say that isbecause I've had a few instances
(31:24):
where I've just had this week,my own self included gotten hit
with.
That's not what you meant andI'm like, oh my goodness, I'm so
sorry Because I used the wrongchoice word.
And same thing with you knowour coaching sessions.
I see a lot of miscommunicationcome back into that, just
because when we're in a state ofexistence we don't know how to
(31:46):
process something, we don't knowhow to say something, so we'll
use our words and we'll saythese words that are that we
believe in our head is justright, because they justify how
we feel in our heart.
In reality, though, that's notwhat we're really really meaning
.
It's.
It's a creation of our ownimagination and, again, not to
not to invalidate any of ourfeelings and where we're at, but
(32:08):
looking back and seeing our ownresponsibility in it and our
own actions in it becomingaccountable for that gives you
the opportunity to reallysolidify relationships so that,
when you do get into a tiff andyou do have a tantrum, your
tantrum is a lot more acceptable.
Okay, your tantrum is a lot moreacceptable.
And then they'll just let youhave a tantrum.
(32:30):
Your tantrum is a lot moreacceptable.
Okay, your tantrum is a lotmore acceptable.
And then they'll just let youhave a tantrum, and then what
they'll do is come back in andbe like listen, you said a few
things, adela.
Now I know you didn't mean them, but the way you said them and
what you said was justabsolutely out of line.
So what we're going to have todo is we're going to rephrase
that correct.
Oh my God, that's not what Imeant at all.
No, no, no, no, I'm so sorry.
I was right here and this is.
I know where you were, butlet's fix that and let's not
make that happen again, becauseit hurts.
(32:52):
And I'm not, I'm not obligated,nor am I responsible to be here
in this position, to be therejust because you get into the
feeling and so learning thattrue stories, learning that
through people and humans whohave had enough self-awareness
to have conversations with me onthat level and teaching me to
(33:13):
have some conversations withmyself on that level, and now I
teach others, so it's never anattack on or an invalidation of
your feeling.
It is a process of it.
It is a process and it is anaccountability of it.
It is a process of it.
It is a process and it is anaccountability of it.
It is a responsibility of it,because what we're doing is
asking human beings to beresponsible for our lives.
(33:33):
We're asking them to go to warin an emotional and spiritual
level right now, not on thephysical, which we'll talk about
in a minute, but on anemotional and spiritual level
right now, because we are inneed of someone to validate that
.
That's it.
So let's not do that and if wedo, let's correct our mistakes
and be like you know what.
(33:54):
We're better for it.
We're better for it.
I wanted to again going back tothe beginning, all the way back
to the beginning.
Rewind I don't even think thatwas a rewind voice.
Going back to the beginning.
Veterans Day was yesterday.
So again, happy Veterans Day.
Veterans Day to me, now that Iknow more about it, because I
(34:16):
didn't understand fully of whyand where it came about and what
it means, I'm going to show youwhere you can find it, where
you can educate yourself, whereyou should educate yourself, and
again yourself and again.
If you're like no, we're lying,this is not it, okay, that's
cool.
Like, go down, that's cool, doyour thing.
I just I really want to payhonor and respect to the human
beings who have actuallysacrificed their life for me to
(34:39):
ensure that I am here in theUnited States and having a
conversation with you.
I am here to be able to createmy dreams, to build that, like I
am, the American dream.
I'm absolutely the Americandream when I from where I've
come, and any immigrant who'scome to this United States and
build up their life, we are theAmerican dream.
Now, the American dream may notbe available to our Americans
(35:00):
who live here, because they'reused to a certain way of living,
but where we come from andwhere we're at, we're used to a
certain way of living, but wherewe come from and where we're at
, we're used to that other wayof living, and so when we're
here, it is a whole fresh breathof air.
It doesn't mean we don't haveour struggles, but, my goodness,
does it mean we haveopportunity, does it mean we
(35:20):
have the potential and does itmean that there is the lifeline
for us to be free, save ourfamilies and and and thrive here
, like that's what americaprovides.
So if it wasn't for ourveterans, if it wasn't for human
beings deciding to give uptheir life, go on the front line
for complete and utterstrangers, for their freedoms to
(35:43):
have the right to speak, theright to exist, the right to
create, the right to carry, theright to defend, right Then we
would not have those rights,okay, so it's really important
and I want to emphasize that.
(36:04):
So let's go into that.
I want you guys to take amoment for me, if you have not,
so for next Veterans Day, whenwe do a campaign and we're
asking, calling upon it, becauseI do want to be a part of that
I want to grow more in the spaceof giving thanks and really
praising the humans and beinggrateful for the humans who
(36:27):
absolutely give up their limbs,their lives, for us to exist and
have these conversations right.
So go to go to the umdepartment of uh veterans
affairsgov departmentgov and youwill find veterans information
right here.
So what's really cool is that Ididn't know this and I should
(36:50):
have known this because I shouldhave learned in history, but I
don't know if I did or not, ormaybe I just didn't pay
attention enough in class, or Iwas just foreign and it wasn't
part of my want, which issomething that I'm advocating
for.
We should all want to learnVeterans Day.
It's right here so you guys canread along and you guys can go
on there.
I'm just going to read thiswhat it says right here how it
came about.
Um world war one, known as thetime of the great war,
(37:13):
officially ended with the treatyof versailles was signed on
june 28th 1919.
Right, however, the actualceasefire stopped seven months,
um, uh, when an armistice or atemporary cessation of
hostilities between the alliednations and Germany went into
effect on the 11th hour of the11th day, on the 11th month.
(37:34):
So that is why it is VeteransDay, november 11th, the 11th
hour, and it was the end of allwars.
And so I didn't the war to endall wars.
And did we end all wars?
No, we didn't.
Obviously, we're stillcontinuing to fight a thousand
and one of them, but the ideathat war to end all wars was
(37:57):
something I didn't see that asthat way and why it made me go
wow, adela, you have not takenit as seriously as you should
have been as open about it,because you talk about where you
come from.
You have this idea abouthonoring those who did do what
they did for you, and yet you'renot really giving that same
attention here.
So I want to be on that.
(38:18):
I want to do that, and itdoesn't matter you know when you
start, as you can see.
It just matters that you start.
So this is really cool and Iwanted to read this to you,
which by President Wilson in1919, the speech that he did,
which was really something I waslike, yeah, I've listened to.
(38:41):
I love listening to history, Ilove listening to, I love
watching documentaries, I lovestudying and understanding why
we behave the way we behave, whywe think the way we think.
I love seeing how words andspeech is going to influence and
change the way we do things.
I love seeing how one humanbeing's idea excuse me and
thought can literally shift thewhole cosmic experience of human
(39:05):
life.
And we've seen that on a goodscale and we've seen that on a
bad scale in many occasionsthrough our history.
And one of the things that I'vemissed in our occasions of
history is these great speechesabout honor and about prosperity
and about love and aboutpatriotism and about compassion
and sympathy and and justopportunity.
(39:27):
And this is a really cool onebecause, uh, president wilson
proclaimed november 11th as thefirst commemorations of
armistice day with the followingwords and please let me know
which words I'm pronouncingwrong too, because I do speak a
second language and we'll justuse that as my excuse to us in
america the reflections of armsto stay will be filled with
(39:49):
solemn pride in the heroism ofthose who died in the country
service and with gratitude forthe victory, both because of the
thing from which it has freedus and because of the
opportunity has given america toshow her sympathy with peace,
justice in the council of theNow.
Did we achieve all of thosepeace nations and the Council?
No, not all of them.
Right, however, we have,literally.
(40:11):
We have.
We, the United States ofAmerica have literally protected
our freedoms and ouropportunity to be able to
actually have that.
It's never too late, and I thinkthe reminder of us of what
happened in our history andgoing back in and understanding
why something was started, howwe've come to where we're at now
(40:33):
, is really important.
And what's other cool is thatif we were to actually look at
this from the perspective ofwhat others have given up for us
to do what we're doing, insteadof what we don't have right now
or what others don't have atthe moment we can see that those
(41:00):
who gave up for us didn't haveanything to begin with.
For the most part, all they hadwas their good conscience,
their, their human soul andtheir want to protect human life
, because they understood thatthe need for that was the most
important, that without theexistence of a human and the
freedom for a human to do whatit needs to do, we would never
be in a position where we're atnow.
(41:21):
So I think it's importantwhether again, you agree with me
or not, whether you agree withour, our government or anything,
you have to understand you haveto respect the human beings
that have actually sacrificedfor us to be here.
You don't have to like half ofanything, but you do have to
respect and be.
(41:42):
You do that part I'm not gonnalet you go away with.
You do have to respect thosehumans who have suffered, who
have given, who have literally Ithink of it as the um their
sacrifice, the, the, the, uh,what is her name in the marvel
movie?
The black widow.
Right, she sacrificed herselffor the yellow stone to save the
(42:03):
world and there's no comingback from that.
Like she's the one that doesn'tcome back now.
I don't, please don't think I'mlike a huge Marvel movie fan or
know anything about that much.
I don't know half the stuffthat I pull out of my butt, but
I do know what I'm talking about.
So, but it's like that to me,it's making a decision that you
yourself, the worth of yourself,was for this.
(42:24):
Your you yourself, the worth ofyourself, was for this, that
your moment for this life was tobe able to be here so that
others could carry on.
I don't know if, well, I don'thave the capacity.
My sister does.
She's in the military and I'mso grateful for it.
Her husband absolutely.
Friends of mine, they're in and, my goodness, I don't have that
(42:46):
in me.
And that part is like I wouldnot volunteer to go fight in
that Now, if it came to my dooryes, if it came to I had to
fight.
No, there's a difference.
But to just volunteer, just togo off, just to save someone
like me in a foreign country andgive me the opportunity to come
(43:07):
here and have a conversationand do this, the amount of
humans who have died for me todo that is countless.
I will never know their name, Iwill never know their story, I
will never know their family, Iwill never know anything on that
, but what I will know is thesacrifice that they did was so
that I could be here and I couldbe grateful and I could fight
(43:28):
for this portion of it.
And so, yes, so happy VeteransDay.
And, um, I don't know how happywe are about the you know
fighting all the time, buthere's what I will say thank you
, thank you for your service,thank you for saving me, thank
(43:51):
you for going into places thatno one else would be and
allowing children like myself togrow into humans who come here
and who are wanting to make achange, who want to live a
better life and who want toimpact in a way that is
meaningful and that does youhonor and justice and that
creates pathways for us to showour own patriotism, not only to
(44:15):
