Good morning. Good afternoon and good evening
everybody. It's your girl Sonia McQueen with
your mind your body your choice So I want to
ask you guys If you're a grown which most everybody
who listens to my podcast is What improvements
have you seen in your life in the way you carry
yourself in the way you treat people? from the
last decade I Know in my 20s. I was pretty mean
In my 30s, I wasn't as mean, but I was still
mean. In my 40s, I tried to learn to be a bit
more understanding and a bit more vocal about
how I felt, but me being vocal wasn't coming
out. You know positively for the most part in
my 50s. I even got that right I understood how
to think before I spoke think about the person
I was speaking to and how they will receive what
I was going to say I still stand on everything
I say and I still speak my mind, but I do it
with more love and more patience What I realize
about myself is I am in full -grown I don't pilot
I am in full grown autopilot, sure. There's still
a little turbulence here and there, but I can
maneuver without taking my life off a autopilot.
When I was younger, there was no autopilot. You
guys need to follow me. There was no autopilot.
I had my foot on the gas. I had my hand on the
throttle. I was driving a six speed and I could
go from one. to six and without pushing the clutch
all the way through and you hear that because
i'm hurting something i'm messing up my car i'm
not doing the right thing going from one that
you can't go from one to six you got to go from
one to two and then when you speed up a little
bit more from two to three and when you speed
up a little bit more from three to four you guys
get it but i was going straight from one to six
Never taking my foot off the gas, just steadily
pushing the clutch. And then I turned 30. I was
still driving a stick shift. Now it's a five
speed. And I'm driving fast, so I'm moving through
those gears faster, but I'm not grinding my gears.
I'm just moving faster. Keeping my foot on that
clutch moving faster maneuvering going in and
out of traffic in and out of traffic stay with
me Then I turned 40 and I got an automatic But
I kept thinking I had a stick shift and even
though I was cruising along I would every once
in a while reach to my right for that gear shift
because I wanted to take control of what was
going on and I'm maneuvering I'm doing much better
and I would have to laugh at myself thinking
oh man I got an auto now I'm not driving a stick
shift which I love I love uh standards but man
I got this automatic then I turned 50 and I learned
how to use my cruise control and I learned how
to relax and I learned that I don't always have
to be in the passing lane. I can drive with the
general traffic and drive the speed limit, sometimes
even a little under the speed limit. You guys
know I don't like driving under the speed limit,
but you get the gist of what I'm saying. The
older I got, the better I became to where I am
now a full -grown woman in autopilot. Yes, I
hit bumps sometimes in a road and I have to grab
the wheel. Yes, sometimes I got a detour. I do
it calmly. I do it with a smile. Yes, sometimes
I'm delayed because there's an accident and I
take the moment to praise the Lord, number one,
that it's not me. And I pray for whoever it is
was in that accident because I'm in full grown
autopilot. The turbulence doesn't bother me like
it did 10 years ago Definitely doesn't bother
me like it did 20 years ago or 30 years ago when
I was younger There was no opportunity for me
to use about autopilot because every situation
to me was a disaster Every situation was a disaster
I didn't sleep back then because I was always
wondering about who I had to tell off or what
I had to do or where I had to go or or, or, or,
or. Right? It was always something. Now I don't
sleep because I had to get up and pee. And when
I got back in bed, I just couldn't go back to
sleep. So I usually put my headphones on and
I turn my Bible on and just listen to God and
I'm happy. I only got like four hours sleep last
night, but I'm in great spirits. I'm in great
spirits because I'm in autopilot. I'm full grown.
I'm in full -grown autopilot. Tell you something,
if you're still living your life the way you
did 10 years ago, 20 years ago, 30 years ago,
you need to re -evaluate. I'm constantly saying
this in my podcast, re -evaluate. I've had to
do it. I'm not being judgmental. I've had to
re -evaluate the way I was living, the way I
was treating people, the way I was speaking,
the way I could so easily get rid of a friendship
like it was nothing. You cross me once, there's
no shame on you, but I'm gonna give you a second
chance. You piss me off. You're nobody to me.
I had to grow up, you guys. Some of you need
to do the same thing. Just look at yourself in
the mirror, and I'm not speaking to anybody specifically,
but I know this message is for somebody specifically.
Find your full -grown autopilot. Full -grown
woman, full -grown man, find your autopilot.
I found mine. All right, you guys have a great
day on purpose. On purpose. If you can afford
to feed a homeless person, please do. But if
you can't, it's understandable. It is really
hard right now for so many people. But a kind
word, a smile, a hug, a compliment, those things
go a long way and right now they're a necessity.
They're a necessity. Be kind. Give the kindness
you want to give. Give the kindness you want
to get. Period. All right, you guys, you know
where to find me. I'm Sonya, S -O -N -Y -A -M,
is it Mike? Sonya M at ledbymotivation .com.
That led is L -E -D. Talk to you next time.
