Welcome to the other four card. Where every day
is continuous test. With no subject. What's your
answer? What's it mean for? Sometimes. We want
to hear. Of how good we're doing. And we can't
stand to hear. How bad we're doing. Sometimes.
When things aren't panning out. We want to hear
something positive. Know that something's coming.
How long shall I be dedicated? How long for opportunity
to meet preparations? For I'll run up in your
bank just for recreation. And patience and testing
is a real thing. And understanding that it's
just you in most opportunities, even when you're
surrounded by people. And that's life. Knowing
that everything is important however you have
to have perspective. Pretty crazy. It's that
balance of selfless and selfish. Greater versus
the lesser. And dismantling and testing those
mental constructs that we constantly have that
make the world in our reality. And we always
want to test those because when you find out
at the wrong time and your world crumbles right
before you, it's not a good time to figure it
out. Just saying. With that, let's start it.
Season 63. Revelations. 63rd playlist. Man, and
I'm loving this playlist already. I already got
16 songs. So I'm going to let y 'all know one
by one. The new Gun album came out. Endless.
Made for this shit. Sac Passe. It was on this
playlist. Just feeling more upbeat. It was downtrodden
last season. And we have our ebbs and flows.
Our ups and downs. And things go sideways. And
it's normal. What did I read today? I know I'm
taking a long time on this book. But it's a sales
book. And this is like my second one in a row.
The Art of Closing. By Anthony Inarino. And in
this. I'm 80 % done. And he's talking about how.
Even after you get the sale on the after and
making sure that your own team is engaged and
the issues and the hardships that it takes for
your own team, much less another team group of
people that signed on to whatever it is that
you asked them to do. You have to lead them.
And lead your own people. And keep a good reputation.
Very hard. I wasn't active today. It's pretty
crazy because I've taken up more days at work
and I just found myself like just I can't even
remember the time when I fell asleep and I just
wake up in this next day. And. I know that I
have to make sure when I do have that time, whenever
I have that time, the ability that I am hitting
the gym, being more physically active. And I
know I'm being hard on myself, but I know I can
do better. And I haven't done as much as I should.
What I get from meditations. Not taking things
personal requires a certain level of detachment
from the world and attachment to self. I've been
tested a lot and I keep on remembering at the
end of the day those four agreements. And we
want to take the good things personally, but
not the bad. We have to take our compliments
and our insults all the same. And it's very hard
to do. And we want to feel good about ourselves,
especially with our egos. And ego is the enemy.
What did I succeed at? Timeliness. Punctuality.
Keeping my standards. Being in the right place
at the right time in the right uniform. You're
already halfway there. What made me smile? Being
able to sit down and after all the hustle and
bustle and times need to make and things that
i believe i deserve and just life being able
to sit down no technology with my full family
both sons and spouse and eat dinner round table
no less so you know it's a real bait thing what
i think of my day overall um Tiring. Taxing.
Humbling. They were great. I give myself. I'm
going to see. I really haven't been making that
mark. In my own personal standard. Yet I've been
still. Passing and making it through. And. It's
not right. And knowing less than... Not knowing
over 20 % of the material is inexcusable. Yet
and still, that's the beauty of life. It's that
we can wake up and we can try our best and we
can make today our best. And I'm hoping I can
do that because I know that... I haven't been
living up to my potential and I've been allowing
myself to give myself excuses. My boy Rick told
me I'm not giving myself excuses no more. He's
got his own kid. He's got working the same parallel
universe as me. And I respect him so much. And
I idolize, you know, people that I know. And
he's one of them. So shout out to my boy. Shout
out to my boy, Osa. Shout out to my family. And
with that, let's get it!
