I don't know queen. Hi, this is Danny Felt and
you're listening to the Danny Felt Podcast. Hello, this is
Danny Felt and you're listening to the Danny Felt Podcast.
On this episode, we are going to discuss people in
our lives and when to let people go, when to
(00:30):
bring people in our lives, all the things. So stay tuned.
Hello everyone, Happy Monday. It is June thirtieth while I'm
recording this, and I want to share something with you.
Yesterday I found myself in tears. I just couldn't stop
(00:52):
being sad, and I was trying to figure out why
am I crying? Why do I feel so sad? What
is going on? So, first of all, I started using
this technique called emotional freedom technique. If you haven't heard
of emotional freedom technique, it is a game changer. What
(01:12):
you do is you tap on different meridian points similar
to acupuncture, and it starts releasing all the build up
emotions in you. It's so powerful for just letting go
and just releasing and crying and just feeling all your feels.
(01:34):
So anyway, yesterday I could not stop crying, and then
part of me started laughing and I was like going
back and forth between laughing and crying, and I was
trying to figure out what is going on, like why
am I so sad? And I realized it's because I
(01:57):
was mourning the old version of myself. Yes, we have
many versions of ourselves, and it can be really freaking
hard to let go of our old version. And sometimes
the old version is gonna want to pop up and
(02:19):
self sabotage you and just say no, we don't want
this next level. This is terrifying and it will do
little things to self sabotage because at the end of
the day, our ego wants us to be safe. But
(02:39):
being safe does not equal success. Being safe does not
equal getting to your next level. Being safe does not
equal becoming a multi millionaire. Your ego might say, no,
that's not safe, So I'm gonna keep you safe, and
I'm gonna make you actually not go for that audition,
(03:02):
or not go for that job, or not ask that
person out because that's too risky and we want to
feel safe. Connected to this, I realized that I was
crying because I was thinking about all the people in
my life from my past that I need to let
go of in order to step into my next version.
(03:25):
Of myself. Guys, this is harder than it sounds. When
you have people in your life that have been a
really strong part of your life. It's not easy to
just let go of people. It's not easy to just
stop talking to people or cut people off. But who
said being successful is easy? Who said getting to that
(03:48):
next level is easy? Who said building a five figure,
six figure, seven figure, eight figure business is easy? No
one said it's easy. But isn't that the journey that
you're on to to build success with whatever it is
that you want to do in your life. Where that's
building an incredible family, getting an amazing partner, finding your
(04:08):
dream company to work for, or start building your music career.
All the people that have done it, they've had to
let go of the people that do not serve them,
that are not in their highest alignment. And it's not easy, guys.
It's not easy, but it is necessary. And you know what,
(04:29):
some of those people, they could change, They could up
level in their own life and they could come back
a different person and then, hey, maybe you guys will
be friends one day. Maybe you guys will be in
that relationship one day, Maybe you guys will do something
together in the future. But it's not our job to
change people. It's not our job to just say, hey,
(04:52):
you need to go to therapy tomorrow. You need to
start doing the inner work, you need to be a
more positive person. No, guys, everyone has their own journey,
and we have to respect people's journey and let people
fall sometimes. I know it sucks to hear that, because
we want to save people, at least I do. In
(05:14):
my past, I have wanted to save so many people.
I make excuses for people. I tell people whatever, that
person's just going through something, whatever the case is. Guys,
we have to let people fall. We have to let
people decide to change their lives, decide for themselves, because
(05:34):
guess what, if you get into a relationship with anyone
and then you're telling them to change, it's not gonna last.
They have to want to change, they have to want
to change and up level and change their life around.
And that's not your problem. That's not your job, that's
not our job. Our job is to be the very
(05:56):
best version of ourselves and to surround ourselves with people
that support our dreams, that believe in us. If you
have people in your life that are not being supportive,
that are just telling you you're a dreamer, be realistic.
What are you thinking? Why are you thinking so big? Guys,
(06:16):
that's not your people. Let them go. I want you
to breathe with me for a second. Breathe in, breathe out.
I want you to start paying attention to how people
make you feel in your life. When you're around people,
(06:37):
do they make you feel stressed, weigh down? Does your
stomach go in knots, does your heart start racing? Or
do people make you feel happy? Expand it, good energy,
raising your frequency. This is key to who you should
surround yourself with. This is key how do people make
(07:00):
you feel? It's not about how do you think about them,
It's how do these people make you feel. If they
inspire you, if they make you feel amazing, then heck yeah,
keep them around your life, keep them on your team,
keep them working with you, keep them dating you, whatever
(07:20):
it is. But if there's people that are just disrespectful,
people that you have to beg for their attention to
talk to you, that you're trying so hard to get
their attention, or trying so hard to get them as
a client, where you feel desperate, where you feel like
gross about it, I want you to pause and say, no,
(07:45):
this is not in alignment with me. Right now, this
person is not in alignment with me. Whoever we're meant
to work with, we will work with. Whatever clients we're
meant to work with, we will work with. If we're
trying to get signed by a label, whatever label we're
meant to work with, it has to feel aligned. We
can't be desperate. People are lucky to be in your presence. Okay.
(08:09):
I want you to understand, like your presence, your energy
is a privilege for people to be around, and I
want you to start having higher standards for who you
surround yourself with, who is in your life, because being
with you is a privilege. Talking to you is a privilege.
Charge for your time. If they're not your friends, charge
(08:31):
for their time. Don't just give them a million free
pieces of advice. Your time is worth it. Your energy
is worth it, Your knowledge is worth it, your resources
are worth it. Your positivity, your inspirational energy is worth it.
Never settle, I want to say it again, Never settle.
(08:54):
So anyway, full circle moment. Yesterday I was crying and
just mourning my old version of myself because I realized
that in order for us to up level, we have
to let go of the people that are not in
alignment with us, and it sucks. It's hard, and so
hence me crying about it and telling you guys about it,
(09:15):
so you guys can understand the journey, the journey of
being an entrepreneur, the journey of up leveling. It's not easy.
It's a journey. But would I choose to work for
someone else? No? Would I work? Would I choose? Would
I choose it over in nine to five? No, I
chose this journey as an entrepreneur. I knew it was
gonna be hard. I knew not every day is gonna
(09:37):
be easy. I knew sometimes people are gonna screw me over.
I knew sometimes clients are gonna stop paying me. But
I still chose. I still choose to be an entrepreneur.
Every single day. I have to show up every single day.
And part of showing up is being really selective on
who I spend my time with, who I choose on
my team, who I choose to work as clients with,
(10:00):
all of it, because the people you surround yourself with
is going to be the five people you become the most.
If you're around tons of negative people. Most likely you're
going to see the world pretty negatively. And if you're
around all people that are building incredible things and working
on themselves every single day, that's what's going to happen.
(10:21):
You're going to start becoming more of that. You're going
to see the possibilities. So if I could tell you
one thing today, it's to take an inventory of the
people in your life and who is valuable in your
life and who is just bringing you down, and really
reflect on this, really reflect on this. Because you have
(10:43):
the option to choose who you want to be friends with,
who you want to date, who you want to collaborate with,
whatever the case is. I want you to be more
selective with where you put your time, who you're talking to,
and what you choose to believe about yourself and what
being friends with you is worth. I want you to
(11:03):
start raising your standards. I want you to start seeing
yourself as royalty. You are royalty. The Queen doesn't hang
out with everyone. The Queen's not gonna hang out with
people that are putting her down. No, it's bye. We
can say bye to people. It is okay to let
people go. Would we sometimes cry about it, Yes, absolutely,
(11:27):
But that's okay. No one ever said being happy twenty
four seven is what we're meant to feel. We're not
meant to just be happy twenty four seven. Life is
a journey. Life is an adventure. We have to feel sometimes,
and if that's mourning the people that we don't talk
to anymore or aren't in alignment with us, go for it.
(11:50):
You want to cry and have a cry fest, that's okay,
there's nothing wrong with that. You want a journal about it,
you want to delete their photos, whatever it is, like,
let them go. In order to get to the next level,
we have to be willing to let people go and
to be open to new people in alignment with our dreams.
(12:11):
So let me know how it goes and I'll see
you in the next episode. Thanks so much for listening. Hi,
this is Danny Felt, and thanks so much for listening
to the Danny Fel Podcast. Stay tuned for the next episode.
See you then.
