What's going on everybody welcome to the sheep get cheered podcast we're here we talk about the people politics of popular culture
I'm your host the one only Austin created by friends welcome welcome into the morning show
so
You know every morning I tend to have the same routine, but
this morning was a little different and
I want to kind of explain I
Want to explain something I've found to be true and I want to encourage
all of you to contemplate it for yourselves and that's this idea of
mental health and mindset
Because let's be honest
when people discuss whether it's money or fame or all these things is really easy to lose
Site of what is important and that is the fact that you
You
Are your own home and you need to fix things on a home front first
Because your mental health is extremely important, but your mindset your mindset is even more so important
Your mindset could take you to the moon
But you need to understand
Once you get a grip on your mentality once you get a grip on your mental health your life will come
So much better so much better
and it's something that I didn't realize I
Took me on too long to realize the simple fact of reality
That look people tend to and that I am included in that
That group it's really easy to think that oh I could just roll my way through I could just say you know what I
decide this I
believe that I can just
Strong arm my way through it that everything will work out everything will be easy if I just make it so
well
Is that sustainable the answer is probably no
But your mentality will help your mental health of those of you those of you who like myself
tend to struggle with fluctuations in your mental health and with your
ability to cope with wipes burdens and alone
It's all about
What is you want out of your life because wouldn't you develop a mindset and you decide hey, you know what I
I I want X Y and Z and I refuse to give up. It's not just an option
I have determined that this is my objective and I'm not wavering on it
Your mental health will improve versus if you're
Kind of throwing darts at a wall and you don't know what you're actually aiming at you're gonna get mad and you're not heading it
And so you realize how silly that is how silly that sounds
Your mental health and your mindset are very closely linked
Sorry if you can hear the stub you're all not outside by the way
It happened and it's been going on and I didn't want to
I didn't want this train of thought to pull out of the station without y'all this morning
When it comes to your mentality too many people are almost afraid of themselves
They're afraid to fail and doing so they create the very thing that they sought to destroy which was their own
insecurity their own weakness their own fear
Yet
What is holding you back today for achieving when does you want which you whether it's you want to make money
Whether it's you want to start a business whether it's you just want to improve your life and you want to be better than you were yesterday
I don't know what it is you want
Whatever it is that you want you can get it
You just have to decide that that is what you will get because that is your right
And if you have the mentality of
Holding on tight never giving
This is make no mistake you are what you think about and if you think about lack and limitation
Then you will produce more of it
But if you think about it you're not going to make a mistake
But if you think about opportunity be optimistic and providing yourself with more options
Then those will come that is the law
So you so so you so so shall you reap
In other words if you plant banana trees you will get banana trees if you so in
The garden of your mind that you will have
Abundance an abundant harvest of happiness
an abundant harvest of money of
opportunities
Then they then as you care for them that harvest will come
But if you so to see the lack limitation
Unfortunate
Then that is what will be produced in your garden
Your mind is extremely fertile
You must understand this if you don't understand this you are sowing the seeds of discontent
Lack and limitation and he will only produce
Bad fruit nightshade that will poison your mind
Against itself and then your first inclination will not to be
To see how I have described it but instead to blame someone near you or blame God or blame the government or blame someone else
For your shortcomings instead of realizing that everything starts at home everything starts on the inside
You must learn this
I don't see this as if I know everything and you don't I say this because I want you to capitalize on this opportunity
I believe it's important to provide people with information and I had to learn these things the hard way
There was a time in my life where I was down bad
I was unhappy I was on I was on the cusp of committing suicide and yet
Now I now I stand before you as someone who's constantly trying to better their own life who's
Who knows their own destiny and refuses to see it anywhere different anything different
Refuses to accept anything but what it is that I have sown in the garden in my mind because the harvest will come
We may not have it today may not happen tomorrow
But it will come because I have sown the seeds. What have you what seeds of you sown?
It but now you're sowing your royal oats have you been out here
Trying to get other people to do things for you
Have you been out here trying to do the bare minimum and try to get more out of it?
That's a waste of the fools Aaron
You will get in return
What is money? Let me ask you that because people often want the mentality of I want more money right and the mental health might suffer because they don't have the money that they want right
Money is the reward that you receive for the services that you provide
With that services is producing a good whether it's you have a specialty whether it's you have the knowledge or education to provide someone else with insight
The more valuable and less replaceable that that skill that that service is the more money you will receive as payment
As a reward for what you have sown for what you have given if you want to receive you must first give
Let me ask you. What are you giving recently? What have you given?
Nothing to give it for free per se
But you must give
That is the law you cannot reap what you do not so if you do there will be punishment
It may not be a lightning bolt from heaven, but there will be punishment. That is the law
My friends your mentality must be aligned with your mental health and you must decide what it is that you want out of life and then you will be successful then you will be on the right path
Because without it you're wandering around in the desert alone the wilderness is a unforgiving place
It is why you must learn to forgive yourself and decide to become on your own team
There's a saying that you are your own worst enemy. I like to change that you are not only your own worst enemy you are often your most incompetent ally
Which is far worse than a competent enemy
Do not for one second think that you are safe once you make the decision once it is a decision you make every day to be better to improve
You must reaffirm this mentality every day and it will make you stronger and will make you better
And before you know it you'll be doing it naturally
My friends please let me know what you think about what little pep talk I gave this morning. I think I might do more of it. I enjoy it
Whether it's I didn't do the news or whether it's I give a little pep talk that I kind of give myself this kind of pep talk in the morning sometimes
That's part of my morning routine
So I think Mimi also are doing it more for y'all because I believe it to be important
I don't know who needs to hear this today, but something told me that someone needed to hear this today
My friends God bless you God bless your families God bless America. I will hopefully see you again very soon. Peace!
