00:00:07.280 --> 00:00:09.580
Hello! Welcome to my daily report card, where

00:00:09.580 --> 00:00:12.580
every day is a continuous test with no subject.

00:00:12.859 --> 00:00:17.780
What's your answer? What does it mean? Peaks

00:00:17.780 --> 00:00:22.239
and valleys, ebbs and flows in this life. And

00:00:22.239 --> 00:00:26.160
when you're in those valleys, you're going to

00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:33.500
experience that letdown. That feeling bad. Bad.

00:00:36.399 --> 00:00:44.840
Timing where. Might have got fired. Corrected.

00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:53.320
Let down. Postponed. Looked over. Publicly embarrassed.

00:00:55.859 --> 00:01:01.280
Hurt. I could say I felt all those things. Cumulatively.

00:01:01.320 --> 00:01:14.579
In different ways. It's tough. Because. We have

00:01:14.579 --> 00:01:17.500
in our brain. In our thought processes. Of how

00:01:17.500 --> 00:01:23.959
we imagine. How we think. What we know. Is going

00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:27.799
to happen. Truth of the matter is we know nothing.

00:01:30.140 --> 00:01:35.799
We hope, we wish, we pray, we assume. The only

00:01:35.799 --> 00:01:38.920
thing that is truly known is what is going on

00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:44.799
right now. For me, this right now is May 2nd,

00:01:44.799 --> 00:01:50.859
2025 at 6 .04 p .m. Pacific Standard Time. And

00:01:50.859 --> 00:01:55.859
I'm so glad that You're taking this moment, this

00:01:55.859 --> 00:01:58.299
time of your precious life to spend with me.

00:01:59.480 --> 00:02:03.159
And I hope I enriched it and I'm going to make

00:02:03.159 --> 00:02:06.680
it a little bit more better. Because I miss y

00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:13.180
'all. And I hope you miss me too. Out the ash

00:02:13.180 --> 00:02:18.039
with that. Let's start it. Song of the day. Wow.

00:02:18.139 --> 00:02:24.189
Season 59. Playlist undeniable. Just hearing

00:02:24.189 --> 00:02:31.830
about all the draft and from the NFL and I heard

00:02:31.830 --> 00:02:35.469
a good quote was be undeniable. And that goes

00:02:35.469 --> 00:02:40.590
for whatever industry that you're in. If you're

00:02:40.590 --> 00:02:45.949
undeniable, that industry, that boss, that place

00:02:45.949 --> 00:02:49.069
will accept you and your flaws if you're undeniable.

00:02:50.569 --> 00:02:52.349
However, some of us aren't that lucky and we

00:02:52.349 --> 00:02:55.530
need to be on 10 on tilt and ready and prepare.

00:02:58.530 --> 00:03:01.389
Yet with those influences, you still can make

00:03:01.389 --> 00:03:09.090
yourself undeniable. And. Song of the day is

00:03:09.090 --> 00:03:16.689
done done. Shout it low. I'm that my future.

00:03:17.610 --> 00:03:22.360
My influence by Wiz. Ways really came back. Real.

00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:30.120
Cushion Orange Juice Part 2. Just need it. What

00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:35.139
did I read today? Following Life After Power.

00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:39.560
It's a really good book for me to have some sort

00:03:39.560 --> 00:03:44.280
of thought processes of what to do when leaving

00:03:44.280 --> 00:03:49.879
the position of power. What came out of that

00:03:49.879 --> 00:03:56.120
was just keep on having that new journey, that

00:03:56.120 --> 00:04:00.699
new focus, that passion, that direction. And

00:04:00.699 --> 00:04:07.439
from that, I love reading books that were referenced

00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:11.699
in a previous book I was reading. So The Art

00:04:11.699 --> 00:04:15.680
of the Deal by Donald Trump was referenced when

00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:19.759
talking about Jimmy Carter. And this book was

00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:28.660
made in 1987. And we have to, regardless of whatever

00:04:28.660 --> 00:04:32.579
you want to say about whomever, we have to learn

00:04:32.579 --> 00:04:34.519
from our enemy. We have to learn from our adversary.

00:04:34.540 --> 00:04:37.199
We have to respect them to be able to know how

00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:40.579
to overcome. And how do we do that if we're ignorant?

00:04:43.819 --> 00:04:49.860
Couple gems. When you set the highest possible

00:04:49.860 --> 00:04:56.620
standards, they're expensive to maintain. So.

00:05:01.839 --> 00:05:09.259
I really love that. Was I physically active?

00:05:10.980 --> 00:05:15.079
I've been falling off. I haven't gone to the

00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:22.240
gym for like 10 days. um and that is the ebbs

00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:26.439
and flows of life too it's not like i'm not absolutely

00:05:26.439 --> 00:05:29.779
active however but my personal goal of stepping

00:05:29.779 --> 00:05:33.060
inside of the gym just wasn't there for one reason

00:05:33.060 --> 00:05:40.920
another one excuse or another one reason really

00:05:40.920 --> 00:05:49.300
doesn't matter Personality and potential only

00:05:49.300 --> 00:05:57.899
come before production in the dictionary. What

00:05:57.899 --> 00:06:01.060
I get from my meditations. Challenge your own

00:06:01.060 --> 00:06:03.759
comforts and thinking within yourself. Yet remain

00:06:03.759 --> 00:06:07.160
confident in where you stand and who you are.

00:06:09.319 --> 00:06:15.819
What I succeed at. Preparing for the rainy day.

00:06:18.540 --> 00:06:21.459
Where I'm coming from. We're more accustomed

00:06:21.459 --> 00:06:27.199
to. The foggy and rainy day. And when the sun

00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:32.139
comes out. It's more of a blessing. So. It's

00:06:32.139 --> 00:06:35.620
not really. Out of the norm. For me to prepare

00:06:35.620 --> 00:06:38.339
for a rainy day. But it's good to be prepared.

00:06:39.160 --> 00:06:44.240
In real time. When the sun goes down. It isn't

00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:56.240
raising. Maybe smile today. Being able to see

00:06:56.240 --> 00:07:03.060
my sons enter into the world and be their own

00:07:03.060 --> 00:07:05.639
person, knowing that I've done all I can do.

00:07:06.279 --> 00:07:09.939
I gave them all lessons in love and food and

00:07:09.939 --> 00:07:13.800
gave them all the proper things that they need

00:07:13.800 --> 00:07:18.810
to be presentable. haircuts iron clothes clean

00:07:18.810 --> 00:07:24.230
clothes brushing their teeth showers doing their

00:07:24.230 --> 00:07:30.550
hair being there for them mentally below the

00:07:30.550 --> 00:07:36.009
surface knowing what is important to them and

00:07:36.009 --> 00:07:39.470
what's going on in their actual life outside

00:07:39.470 --> 00:07:41.589
of what i demand from them but their actual personal

00:07:41.589 --> 00:07:48.269
likes However, it's just a sense of pride and

00:07:48.269 --> 00:07:56.329
love and just amazement and awe to see them in

00:07:56.329 --> 00:07:59.829
their element just go out. I know that I can't

00:07:59.829 --> 00:08:02.350
watch them that entire time when they go however

00:08:02.350 --> 00:08:05.750
far they go. Because my journey is not over.

00:08:07.949 --> 00:08:10.750
And I know I'm going to see them again and I'm

00:08:10.750 --> 00:08:15.540
going to come back to them and they are me. So

00:08:15.540 --> 00:08:19.019
I still have to turn my back. I still have to

00:08:19.019 --> 00:08:22.600
walk away. Because we're all on our own journeys

00:08:22.600 --> 00:08:24.860
in this life, regardless of what age we are on.

00:08:29.680 --> 00:08:35.720
What do I think of my day overall? Humbling.

00:08:38.299 --> 00:08:48.340
Necessary. And... full circle being able to lower

00:08:48.340 --> 00:08:52.379
your ego especially around other men and being

00:08:52.379 --> 00:08:55.200
able to not even just men but especially men

00:08:55.200 --> 00:09:01.220
when you're a man your own gender and just being

00:09:01.220 --> 00:09:03.519
able to humble yourself and say you were wrong

00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:07.399
regardless of who it is and say that wasn't right

00:09:07.399 --> 00:09:17.009
even if you know you were Right in certain scenarios.

00:09:17.669 --> 00:09:20.570
That doesn't give you a license. To do what's

00:09:20.570 --> 00:09:25.129
not acceptable. In your own right. Interesting.

00:09:27.330 --> 00:09:31.870
So what grade do I give myself? Going to B minus.

00:09:36.809 --> 00:09:42.840
I believe. It was adequately sufficient to make

00:09:42.840 --> 00:09:46.480
that bar and be exemplary. However, not by that

00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:51.539
much. And it gets like that sometimes. However,

00:09:51.679 --> 00:09:54.679
I'm still proud of the person that I am. And

00:09:54.679 --> 00:09:56.259
I hope that you're proud of the person that's

00:09:56.259 --> 00:09:59.700
in that mirror too. Even if you're at B minus,

00:09:59.759 --> 00:10:03.879
C minus, even F status. Because you're still

00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:06.779
alive and you still have the ability to raise

00:10:06.779 --> 00:10:15.450
up again. Right now. No, it's not easy. No, it's

00:10:15.450 --> 00:10:20.529
not fun. Everything won't lead to happiness.

00:10:23.169 --> 00:10:28.669
That's the beauty of this human experience. Even

00:10:28.669 --> 00:10:31.830
without that happiness, you feel that content.

00:10:32.070 --> 00:10:34.350
You feel that fullness. You feel that love. You

00:10:34.350 --> 00:10:44.919
feel alive. Let's live. out the ashes and with

00:10:44.919 --> 00:10:45.120
that
