00:00:07.440 --> 00:00:09.779
Welcome to the report card where every day is

00:00:09.779 --> 00:00:13.080
continuous test with no subject. What's your

00:00:13.080 --> 00:00:18.899
answer? What's meaningful? Crash out These days

00:00:18.899 --> 00:00:23.699
that we're living in We can't just turn the other

00:00:23.699 --> 00:00:27.940
cheek we can't hope for things that won't eventually

00:00:27.940 --> 00:00:35.060
come We have to understand that this is a time

00:00:35.060 --> 00:00:41.399
of Chaos and uncertainty. However as they say.

00:00:42.240 --> 00:00:46.619
A broke clock is. Right twice a day. Same thing

00:00:46.619 --> 00:00:51.479
is for those. Times where you find that balance.

00:00:53.020 --> 00:01:07.849
Find that peace. Don't count on it though. We

00:01:07.849 --> 00:01:14.030
gotta have our chest out. A lot of times we can't

00:01:14.030 --> 00:01:23.469
always have our niceties. I'm rude sometimes.

00:01:26.969 --> 00:01:34.370
Because that's just me. Not an excuse. However,

00:01:34.450 --> 00:01:41.510
just an acceptance of who I am. And with that,

00:01:41.609 --> 00:01:50.609
let's start it. August 7th, Thursday, 2025. Episode

00:01:50.609 --> 00:01:59.049
619. 1223 AM. We're going back to our roots.

00:01:59.629 --> 00:02:05.909
We're on our late night posting. Whole family

00:02:05.909 --> 00:02:11.069
sleep. We're right here. after a hard day's work

00:02:11.069 --> 00:02:21.370
missed y 'all it's all good today two of them

00:02:21.370 --> 00:02:28.250
in the rain by the dramatics and working day

00:02:28.250 --> 00:02:30.210
and night by michael jackson i've been on mom

00:02:30.210 --> 00:02:37.090
old school recently sometimes that emotion just

00:02:37.090 --> 00:02:41.729
has to be brought out Through the old school

00:02:41.729 --> 00:02:49.930
natural way. And. Don't know where you're going

00:02:49.930 --> 00:02:55.409
unless you. Know where you've been. But I read

00:02:55.409 --> 00:03:04.340
today. In my rage. In my. discomfort I still

00:03:04.340 --> 00:03:07.199
found a way to at least get 16 minutes of reading

00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:09.020
a day but I've been reading for the past few

00:03:09.020 --> 00:03:12.879
days it's the only day I missed my goal last

00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:16.379
two days I did but that's okay nevertheless still

00:03:16.379 --> 00:03:21.960
on the article closing by Anthony you know right

00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:26.759
now I'm so sorry for messing up that name and

00:03:26.759 --> 00:03:31.979
about 60 % through Commitment to change, most

00:03:31.979 --> 00:03:35.840
important. Acts of problem needs to be addressed

00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:39.719
now. What is more pressing? Once you know their

00:03:39.719 --> 00:03:42.900
priorities, you have options. Know about others

00:03:42.900 --> 00:03:46.379
who might push back. Have client pick the rollout

00:03:46.379 --> 00:03:54.659
date. Turn your solution into our solution. Was

00:03:54.659 --> 00:03:58.479
I physically active today? These are the days

00:03:58.479 --> 00:04:04.939
that... we work out for after being up long shift

00:04:04.939 --> 00:04:09.960
still got my boy and was able to at least get

00:04:09.960 --> 00:04:13.979
30 minutes of part -time and walking and just

00:04:13.979 --> 00:04:17.699
a lot of physical activity for us both how can

00:04:17.699 --> 00:04:20.839
i expect for him to walk through run through

00:04:20.839 --> 00:04:26.139
the fields and go as hard as he can if i'm not

00:04:26.139 --> 00:04:30.160
right there behind his shoulder While you look

00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:35.160
over. You can know that. You're not alone. Gosh.

00:04:37.100 --> 00:04:39.379
So I would say yeah. Even though I wasn't at

00:04:39.379 --> 00:04:40.779
the gym today. But it was hard. Couldn't make

00:04:40.779 --> 00:04:47.079
it. What I get from my meditations. Own who you

00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:49.819
are. Whatever you try to hide. Will eventually

00:04:49.819 --> 00:05:02.509
be exposed. But I could see that today. In the

00:05:02.509 --> 00:05:08.589
army, they used to say half the battle was being

00:05:08.589 --> 00:05:10.709
there at the right time, at the right place,

00:05:10.730 --> 00:05:17.350
in the right uniform. And that's all true, even

00:05:17.350 --> 00:05:20.850
in real life. Entering into a new setting, a

00:05:20.850 --> 00:05:28.170
new job, kind of, and gig, and understand where

00:05:28.170 --> 00:05:31.800
I find myself. And knowing that it's forever

00:05:31.800 --> 00:05:34.579
changing. Knowing that I should never be comfortable

00:05:34.579 --> 00:05:39.660
anywhere. Knowing that this given day and this

00:05:39.660 --> 00:05:43.660
given economy and this given time of chaos has

00:05:43.660 --> 00:05:46.019
got to go roll with the punches and know that

00:05:46.019 --> 00:05:52.759
nothing is permanent. That was the right time,

00:05:52.819 --> 00:05:57.519
right place, right uniform. What made me smile

00:05:57.519 --> 00:06:09.459
today? Being able to pick my boy up. He's not

00:06:09.459 --> 00:06:14.759
the last kid to be picked up. And didn't rest

00:06:14.759 --> 00:06:18.660
on my laurels. I could have packed it in and

00:06:18.660 --> 00:06:20.959
just went home. It would have been no problem.

00:06:21.779 --> 00:06:25.240
But we still make that extra effort. It's very

00:06:25.240 --> 00:06:30.620
hard. And just trying to do the right thing.

00:06:33.169 --> 00:06:37.670
Trying not to be unnecessarily outside of myself.

00:06:41.689 --> 00:06:47.069
And... But sometimes you gotta pop out and show

00:06:47.069 --> 00:07:02.149
niggas. What do I think of my day overall? I

00:07:02.149 --> 00:07:09.670
would say it was consistent. It was challenging.

00:07:11.689 --> 00:07:16.069
Like everything was through at me and yet I was

00:07:16.069 --> 00:07:24.670
strong enough to withhold it. Knowing that is

00:07:24.670 --> 00:07:28.649
there real light in sight? Speaking from a person

00:07:28.649 --> 00:07:32.509
who's living in the coldest summer in San Francisco.

00:07:34.490 --> 00:07:39.470
I'm still waking up and trying my best to bring

00:07:39.470 --> 00:07:46.649
that energy and enthusiasm. Gosh. What grade

00:07:46.649 --> 00:07:56.850
do I give myself? Going with a B+. I did not.

00:07:57.899 --> 00:08:01.100
go all the way regardless of what the excuse

00:08:01.100 --> 00:08:06.120
was to get my reading go. I did not even attempt

00:08:06.120 --> 00:08:12.899
to do yoga or abs. I did not go as far as the

00:08:12.899 --> 00:08:15.959
10 minutes to close my eyes and meditate for

00:08:15.959 --> 00:08:18.699
a minute, even though I did it in different variations.

00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:26.490
Nevertheless, those items that should be done

00:08:26.490 --> 00:08:33.730
earlier than later which creates an ability to

00:08:33.730 --> 00:08:38.110
go to what's called what i call full consciousness

00:08:38.110 --> 00:08:42.269
being able to see the world in a different light

00:08:42.269 --> 00:08:47.429
if only for that one day with those things in

00:08:47.429 --> 00:08:54.659
tow very hard no no and that's after all of the

00:08:54.659 --> 00:08:57.240
mandatory things because nobody cares about what

00:08:57.240 --> 00:08:59.019
you're doing until you're not doing what you're

00:08:59.019 --> 00:09:05.519
supposed to be doing but understanding there's

00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:10.360
the little pockets of happiness and joy small

00:09:10.360 --> 00:09:17.480
comments and messages that keep you going and

00:09:17.480 --> 00:09:20.909
knowing that the world isn't closing in on you

00:09:20.909 --> 00:09:24.750
and there's more out there for you and i believe

00:09:24.750 --> 00:09:31.450
that you're worthy and you have to keep going

00:09:31.450 --> 00:09:33.289
but still know where you're going and where you've

00:09:33.289 --> 00:09:41.429
been very hard very chaotic with that
