00:00:04.819 --> 00:00:09.400
Hello! Welcome back to The Report Card. Every

00:00:09.400 --> 00:00:13.300
day is a continuous test with no subject. What

00:00:13.300 --> 00:00:18.019
is your answer? What's meaningful? We're all

00:00:18.019 --> 00:00:22.199
going to the same place. Father time is undefeated.

00:00:24.300 --> 00:00:29.460
We know what is inevitable. However, at the same

00:00:29.460 --> 00:00:33.770
time, we have our own choice. On how we can get

00:00:33.770 --> 00:00:42.369
there. How are we. Enjoying that ride. As we

00:00:42.369 --> 00:00:47.789
go there. And understanding just as. On a road

00:00:47.789 --> 00:00:51.189
trip of any kind. There's a different experience

00:00:51.189 --> 00:00:57.310
when you're. Changing major interstates or. Local

00:00:57.310 --> 00:01:01.530
highways. Just a different vibe. Such as when

00:01:01.530 --> 00:01:06.170
you. Turn the chapter on the book. Different

00:01:06.170 --> 00:01:15.430
subject matter. Overall, same story. And understanding

00:01:15.430 --> 00:01:21.390
that you're always going to be traveling. You're

00:01:21.390 --> 00:01:25.930
on the go and on the move always. And it won't

00:01:25.930 --> 00:01:28.790
be the best of conditions. Sometimes it may rain.

00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:34.299
Sometimes the sun might shine too bright. You

00:01:34.299 --> 00:01:41.719
can't find your glasses. Getting still. You're

00:01:41.719 --> 00:01:47.299
able to have that vehicle. And move and go. Stop

00:01:47.299 --> 00:01:56.579
as you please. And choose your own way. And.

00:01:58.640 --> 00:02:04.299
To be understanding that life is enjoying and

00:02:04.299 --> 00:02:09.139
experiencing every moment. Not just waiting for

00:02:09.139 --> 00:02:18.979
that one final destination. And with that, let's

00:02:18.979 --> 00:02:23.759
start it. Song of the day. Got a couple. I wish

00:02:23.759 --> 00:02:28.629
it would rain. by The Temptations, In My Car,

00:02:28.870 --> 00:02:34.030
and by The Pack, and used me by Bill Withers.

00:02:37.009 --> 00:02:46.229
Just wanted to listen to some old soul Motown

00:02:46.229 --> 00:02:52.610
hits in my car. I just need it online somewhere.

00:02:53.669 --> 00:03:02.539
Survive. Slap. what did i read today i'm still

00:03:02.539 --> 00:03:09.219
on the lost art of closing about 39 percent in

00:03:09.219 --> 00:03:14.240
and this is what i got from is answering the

00:03:14.240 --> 00:03:17.759
question why should i change is your responsibility

00:03:17.759 --> 00:03:22.460
and only when you have answered to their satisfaction

00:03:23.949 --> 00:03:27.189
Will you only be able to explore changing with

00:03:27.189 --> 00:03:30.509
your prospect? Be able to speak about the industry.

00:03:31.490 --> 00:03:35.050
Know things your dream client doesn't know and

00:03:35.050 --> 00:03:38.389
what trends are causing a need for change in

00:03:38.389 --> 00:03:41.590
a 20 -minute presentation for why they should

00:03:41.590 --> 00:03:48.069
change. There's so many levels of how to actually

00:03:51.879 --> 00:03:55.659
clothes and the steps towards that and even to

00:03:55.659 --> 00:04:00.500
get the conversation to even get the ear to even

00:04:00.500 --> 00:04:08.960
prospect and we have to learn from outside of

00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:13.939
our scope people that's what i'm trying to do

00:04:13.939 --> 00:04:19.949
was i physically active today Yeah, I'm actually

00:04:19.949 --> 00:04:24.509
surprised at myself. Me and my spouse did legs

00:04:24.509 --> 00:04:34.810
and it was so hard. And going from max to our

00:04:34.810 --> 00:04:42.230
regular workouts is just an adjustment because

00:04:42.230 --> 00:04:47.970
it goes 12, 10, 8, 8 reps. Increasing on the

00:04:47.970 --> 00:04:52.410
weight. And so it was a lot, but it was done

00:04:52.410 --> 00:05:00.149
all on a fast 24 hours. So I was able to check

00:05:00.149 --> 00:05:03.009
off those two boxes and just be able to be there

00:05:03.009 --> 00:05:08.850
for my physical self. Yeah, in the morning. Right

00:05:08.850 --> 00:05:14.829
now is July 30th, Wednesday, 2025 at 1150 a .m.

00:05:14.850 --> 00:05:20.079
Pacific Standard Time. What did I get from my

00:05:20.079 --> 00:05:29.620
meditation? The journey is the destination. What

00:05:29.620 --> 00:05:39.420
did I succeed at? I held the standard. Regardless

00:05:39.420 --> 00:05:44.899
of how I was feeling or however some rain was

00:05:44.899 --> 00:05:50.490
pouring over me. I still did what I was supposed

00:05:50.490 --> 00:05:54.589
to do. Be there for my family, be there for myself

00:05:54.589 --> 00:05:58.589
spiritually, physically, financially, mentally.

00:06:01.069 --> 00:06:03.790
I was there for my children. I was there for

00:06:03.790 --> 00:06:13.449
my family in the way I could. And I didn't let

00:06:13.449 --> 00:06:20.759
my current mood just halt the entire day which

00:06:20.759 --> 00:06:26.740
can be hard because sometimes we just don't feel

00:06:26.740 --> 00:06:31.319
like it sometimes life is just hard sometimes

00:06:31.319 --> 00:06:41.500
getting out of the bed is like coming off of

00:06:41.500 --> 00:06:49.720
a ton of bricks and It was success to me with

00:06:49.720 --> 00:06:55.120
all that. Still doing what I was supposed to

00:06:55.120 --> 00:07:00.680
do. Going to work. Making sure the children are

00:07:00.680 --> 00:07:05.699
good. Working out. Making sure the family is

00:07:05.699 --> 00:07:26.360
fed. What made me smile? So my fast ended at

00:07:26.360 --> 00:07:35.839
7 .30 p .m. And with workout post shower and

00:07:35.839 --> 00:07:41.100
just life and was able to finally sit down to

00:07:41.100 --> 00:07:48.180
a homemade dinner at 8 .30. It was already ready

00:07:48.180 --> 00:07:53.000
at 7 .30, but I just wasn't ready. And that was

00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:57.819
a true smile. That was a true smile hungry gosh,

00:07:57.959 --> 00:08:07.160
I'm honestly um My mood's not great all day when

00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:14.819
I'm fasting and I'm pushing myself and Just weak

00:08:14.819 --> 00:08:22.720
felt weaker during the workout and Just finally

00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:27.040
being able to sit down at dinner. No phones.

00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:34.340
With my spouse. Home cooked meal. That was a

00:08:34.340 --> 00:08:40.320
smile. That was worth it. All in the end. And

00:08:40.320 --> 00:08:48.879
I ate. When I think of my day overall. It was

00:08:48.879 --> 00:09:01.379
a challenge. an understandable dark cloud. Understanding

00:09:01.379 --> 00:09:08.379
that we cannot enjoy or appreciate the sun if

00:09:08.379 --> 00:09:13.399
we never see any rain. We want the rain when

00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:19.919
it's too much. So it's the same with life. I

00:09:19.919 --> 00:09:22.519
always say that my best days have all the emotions.

00:09:25.350 --> 00:09:27.470
Doesn't mean I don't want a certain concentrations

00:09:27.470 --> 00:09:30.690
of the negative ones. However, they all, my best

00:09:30.690 --> 00:09:35.909
days have it all. You need a little struggle.

00:09:36.769 --> 00:09:39.809
You need a little uncertainty to go along with

00:09:39.809 --> 00:09:45.850
that happiness. And making it through the struggle,

00:09:45.950 --> 00:09:52.299
whether if it was self -imposed. It was still

00:09:52.299 --> 00:09:54.919
made through. Along with the pressures that come

00:09:54.919 --> 00:09:58.840
with just being a human being. And I hope that

00:09:58.840 --> 00:10:01.580
you can understand that. With all that you're

00:10:01.580 --> 00:10:04.259
going through. And even if it's self -imposed

00:10:04.259 --> 00:10:08.259
or not. Just know that that's still just a part

00:10:08.259 --> 00:10:12.360
of the journey. Towards your final destination.

00:10:15.039 --> 00:10:17.039
Understanding that we're all going to end up

00:10:17.039 --> 00:10:25.669
in the same place. And so. pick that route and

00:10:25.669 --> 00:10:33.429
knowing that you was put on this earth to go

00:10:33.429 --> 00:10:36.730
your own route and not what someone else did

00:10:36.730 --> 00:10:41.409
someone else thought because you are you there's

00:10:41.409 --> 00:10:49.379
only one you what grade do i give myself I'm

00:10:49.379 --> 00:10:57.460
going to go with an A again. It's when you're

00:10:57.460 --> 00:11:02.379
at high levels and you did everything you possibly

00:11:02.379 --> 00:11:05.879
could to scrape and claw to know over 90 % of

00:11:05.879 --> 00:11:13.059
the material. It's not a surprise. You're actually

00:11:13.059 --> 00:11:16.440
kind of burnt out from it. You're actually looking

00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:19.889
at it like, hmm. Because you worked that hard

00:11:19.889 --> 00:11:22.490
for it and you know that you deserve it. Yet

00:11:22.490 --> 00:11:27.710
and still with all that hard work, I should appreciate

00:11:27.710 --> 00:11:32.370
it. I wanted to read for 30 minutes. I wanted

00:11:32.370 --> 00:11:37.250
to work out. I wanted to meditate. And it was

00:11:37.250 --> 00:11:41.549
done. On the right or wrong side of the bed or

00:11:41.549 --> 00:11:49.919
not. And I hope you can know that. We are going

00:11:49.919 --> 00:11:54.480
to go to the same. Final destination. And so.

00:11:54.759 --> 00:11:58.799
Make your own way. With that. Once again.
