WEBVTT 00:00:04.349 --> 00:00:09.269 Hello! Welcome to the report card for every day's 00:00:09.269 --> 00:00:12.630 continuous test with no subject. What's your 00:00:12.630 --> 00:00:17.030 answer? Was it meaningful? This life is so beautiful 00:00:17.030 --> 00:00:20.149 with the ebbs and flows, the peaks and valleys, 00:00:20.250 --> 00:00:24.730 the ups and downs. And what makes it most worth 00:00:24.730 --> 00:00:30.000 living is when you are Living just beyond your 00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:35.340 edge. Knowing that. There is a limitation to 00:00:35.340 --> 00:00:39.359 us human beings. And that's specific for. Each 00:00:39.359 --> 00:00:43.280 unique one. However. To know where that edge 00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:46.520 is. And not to just stop there. But to just lean 00:00:46.520 --> 00:00:53.840 just beyond it. And. Sometimes we might overstretch 00:00:53.840 --> 00:00:57.679 and sometimes we may be safeguarded. However, 00:00:57.820 --> 00:00:59.659 if you're still leaning, then you're doing the 00:00:59.659 --> 00:01:05.819 right thing. And I believe that's just my cosm 00:01:05.819 --> 00:01:11.200 of where I'm at in life. Today is July 14th, 00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:23.640 2025. 1138 a .m. Monday. Just put myself out 00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:31.659 there for national organization position, really 00:01:31.659 --> 00:01:36.500 high, president. And was working on it for a 00:01:36.500 --> 00:01:41.760 few months. Campaign was a few months and I lost. 00:01:45.879 --> 00:01:48.700 Yet and still I'm at peace because I truly know 00:01:48.700 --> 00:01:52.340 I gave it my all. and what more can you ask of 00:01:52.340 --> 00:01:55.400 yourself if you know that you did absolutely 00:01:55.400 --> 00:02:02.019 everything that there was and the ball just didn't 00:02:02.019 --> 00:02:07.980 roll in my favor and that's okay we find wins 00:02:07.980 --> 00:02:16.939 within our losses people and I love when this 00:02:17.659 --> 00:02:20.219 Time in life always occurs. Because it's a great 00:02:20.219 --> 00:02:25.340 moment for. Reflection. Reassessment. And understanding 00:02:25.340 --> 00:02:30.000 that the seasons change. And be able to know. 00:02:30.419 --> 00:02:37.780 When that season is. Because. Nobody complains. 00:02:38.919 --> 00:02:44.099 Or says it's a bad shot. If you make it. Nevertheless. 00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:53.979 Let's start it. Song of the day. Possibly it 00:02:53.979 --> 00:02:57.620 is. No, this is ending our 61st playlist of abundance 00:02:57.620 --> 00:03:02.479 with what the hell? What the hell? What the hell? 00:03:03.500 --> 00:03:07.879 No, Rob for nine. That's literally my energy 00:03:07.879 --> 00:03:15.419 as I woke up. I woke up yesterday after knowing 00:03:15.419 --> 00:03:20.000 that I failed. And just being light about it 00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:24.740 and waking up after that, finally back home. 00:03:25.060 --> 00:03:33.979 I was out of state at the convention. And after 00:03:33.979 --> 00:03:40.520 getting the kids in order and wife and just being 00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:46.050 me, taking a moment in a day. Put on that risky 00:03:46.050 --> 00:03:49.469 business. Tom Cruise. Take those old records 00:03:49.469 --> 00:03:53.509 off the shelf. Just lit across the. Wood flare. 00:03:53.689 --> 00:03:56.569 Just making light of the situation. Understanding 00:03:56.569 --> 00:04:00.569 that. I can laugh at myself. I can still listen. 00:04:00.889 --> 00:04:04.870 And know that. Life isn't over even in failure. 00:04:06.210 --> 00:04:11.250 And. Also thinking. How can I be a failure. In. 00:04:12.180 --> 00:04:14.460 Have a roof over my head, clothes on my back. 00:04:18.680 --> 00:04:24.399 Stomach's not growling. Health and able body. 00:04:25.720 --> 00:04:30.759 That's what it's about. We can't just always, 00:04:30.860 --> 00:04:33.500 we can't just be stuck in that thought.

What did I succeed 00:06:42.550 --> 00:06:51.930 at? Humility. Understanding. Listening. And knowing 00:06:51.930 --> 00:06:57.310 the power of silence and when to speak up. Knowing 00:06:57.310 --> 00:07:00.769 the power of when to appear and when to be present 00:07:00.769 --> 00:07:12.389 and when to not be. and understanding what made 00:07:12.389 --> 00:07:25.829 me smile um being able to walk back in my home 00:07:25.829 --> 00:07:32.899 uh Making sure that the trash got put out by 00:07:32.899 --> 00:07:41.199 myself and family house. And just feeling back 00:07:41.199 --> 00:07:44.360 at home after trying your hardest in a foreign 00:07:44.360 --> 00:07:49.500 land and being able to just rest my head and 00:07:49.500 --> 00:07:53.620 feel secure and safe and where I'm supposed to 00:07:53.620 --> 00:08:02.300 be. And it's right here. What do I think of my 00:08:02.300 --> 00:08:13.620 day overall It was trying It was humbling It 00:08:13.620 --> 00:08:28.100 was Energy consuming And it was an experience 00:08:31.790 --> 00:08:38.250 And what grade do I get myself? I'm going to 00:08:38.250 --> 00:08:49.250 go with a B. Straight like that. Sometimes we 00:08:49.250 --> 00:08:53.190 just don't hit that mark. Sometimes even if we 00:08:53.190 --> 00:08:57.389 tried our best, I'll just say I'm going into 00:08:57.389 --> 00:09:01.929 every test trying to get 100%. i'm never thinking 00:09:01.929 --> 00:09:05.830 that i'm okay with this wrong answer i'm going 00:09:05.830 --> 00:09:10.250 into it with the thought of 100 and it just doesn't 00:09:10.250 --> 00:09:15.570 follow that way whether it be you looked over 00:09:15.570 --> 00:09:22.690 the instructions too fast or you simply didn't 00:09:22.690 --> 00:09:26.210 know it or it was a trip up question and was 00:09:26.210 --> 00:09:28.990 meant and systematically put in there for you 00:09:28.990 --> 00:09:32.100 to get wrong Unless you know the small little 00:09:32.100 --> 00:09:40.279 nuances. And so. That's just life. And. You can 00:09:40.279 --> 00:09:42.840 always feel secure and happy. And know that. 00:09:44.619 --> 00:09:46.419 Proud of the person that you're looking at in 00:09:46.419 --> 00:09:48.360 the mirror. Knowing that you're doing your best. 00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:50.720 You're doing your best for your physical self. 00:09:50.860 --> 00:09:52.779 You're doing your best for your mental self. 00:09:53.019 --> 00:09:55.080 You're doing your best for your work self. You're 00:09:55.080 --> 00:09:56.940 doing your best for your community self. You're 00:09:56.940 --> 00:09:59.480 doing your best for your parenting self. You're 00:09:59.480 --> 00:10:02.740 doing your best for your marriage self. You're 00:10:02.740 --> 00:10:04.720 doing your best for your friend's self. You're 00:10:04.720 --> 00:10:13.779 doing your best for your everything. Knowing 00:10:13.779 --> 00:10:19.519 what brings peace to you. And standing on your 00:10:19.519 --> 00:10:33.220 principles. Jeez. So. It's about that fork in 00:10:33.220 --> 00:10:37.820 the road. And that pivot. Right now. For me. 00:10:39.559 --> 00:10:41.879 Seasons change over. Even though we're still 00:10:41.879 --> 00:10:45.990 in the middle of summer. And with that... Once 00:10:45.990 --> 00:10:46.210 again!
