Many people wait until they feel ready, 00:14:25.559 --> 00:14:29.100 but readiness is often created through growth, 00:14:29.200 --> 00:14:33.159 discipline, and consistency. All right. So in 00:14:33.159 --> 00:14:35.840 this episode, we will cover why purpose requires 00:14:35.840 --> 00:14:38.799 preparation before opportunities, understanding 00:14:38.799 --> 00:14:41.919 that growth happens before confidence does so. 00:14:42.090 --> 00:14:45.049 big one letting go of the idea that you must 00:14:45.049 --> 00:14:47.450 feel ready first because sometimes we don't feel 00:14:47.450 --> 00:14:50.129 ready but if we feel like this is going to make 00:14:50.129 --> 00:14:53.009 or break us let's do it like i said just do it 00:14:53.009 --> 00:14:54.889 like nike we're going to shoot our shot because 00:14:54.889 --> 00:14:56.909 we're going to do it because we wanted to and 00:14:56.909 --> 00:14:58.509 don't have we don't want to feel it we don't 00:14:58.509 --> 00:15:01.110 want to be in our feelings and saying should 00:15:01.110 --> 00:15:02.789 have could have would have moments no just do 00:15:02.789 --> 00:15:05.970 it like nike just do it we're gonna do this like 00:15:05.970 --> 00:15:10.000 brutus Building habits that supports long -term 00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:13.120 purpose and trusting the process even when progress 00:15:13.120 --> 00:15:17.100 feels slow.

But as I'm walking 00:17:26.460 --> 00:17:32.599 in my purpose, why is preparation required? If 00:17:32.599 --> 00:17:36.140 that makes sense. Okay. Well, let's get into 00:17:36.140 --> 00:17:39.640 it. What does purpose requires preparation really 00:17:39.640 --> 00:17:43.680 mean? Well, purpose requires preparation means 00:17:43.680 --> 00:17:46.000 understanding that stepping into your purpose 00:17:46.000 --> 00:17:48.720 is not something that happens instantly. It's 00:17:48.720 --> 00:17:53.019 something you grow into. Now. i have now if you're 00:17:53.019 --> 00:17:56.079 new here broken down like after i read it i break 00:17:56.079 --> 00:17:57.539 it down a little bit more for you guys and then 00:17:57.539 --> 00:18:01.539 continue so the ogs kind of sort of kind of know 00:18:01.539 --> 00:18:03.819 what i'm doing when i stop and pause but that's 00:18:03.819 --> 00:18:05.960 what we do that's what we're doing now over here 00:18:05.960 --> 00:18:07.940 so i'm gonna say it again for y 'all and then 00:18:07.940 --> 00:18:09.880 i'll break it down for you what does that really 00:18:09.880 --> 00:18:12.279 mean well just to help you understand a little 00:18:12.279 --> 00:18:15.200 bit more so purpose requires preparation meaning 00:18:15.200 --> 00:18:17.920 understanding that stepping into your purpose 00:18:17.920 --> 00:18:20.609 is something that doesn't something that has 00:18:20.609 --> 00:18:23.529 something stepping into your purpose is not something 00:18:23.529 --> 00:18:27.029 that happens instantly it is something you grow 00:18:27.029 --> 00:18:30.750 into so with that being said is y 'all your purpose 00:18:30.750 --> 00:18:32.950 is something that doesn't happen instantly it's 00:18:32.950 --> 00:18:36.170 not going to happen right away because You got 00:18:36.170 --> 00:18:38.569 to find out what is your purpose? What is your 00:18:38.569 --> 00:18:40.750 purpose for you to be doing what you're doing? 00:18:40.869 --> 00:18:43.549 Why are you doing this? How is this going to 00:18:43.549 --> 00:18:46.829 impact you? What areas of your life is this impacting 00:18:46.829 --> 00:18:49.210 you? Because as we said for the theme of March, 00:18:49.309 --> 00:18:51.789 we are walking into our purpose. So with that 00:18:51.789 --> 00:18:54.190 being said is purpose doesn't come right away. 00:18:54.470 --> 00:18:56.869 It doesn't come instantly because you have to 00:18:56.869 --> 00:18:59.819 map out. What is your purpose? Purpose equals 00:18:59.819 --> 00:19:02.960 what is your calling? What is the reason behind 00:19:02.960 --> 00:19:05.180 this? What is the connection? What is the call? 00:19:05.519 --> 00:19:08.460 Purpose equals the call. And preparation equals 00:19:08.460 --> 00:19:11.200 the answer and the outcome of what it is. So 00:19:11.200 --> 00:19:13.900 what this really mean is helping you understand 00:19:13.900 --> 00:19:17.319 that purpose doesn't happen right away. You got 00:19:17.319 --> 00:19:19.440 to understand what's your purpose. Like for me, 00:19:19.460 --> 00:19:23.660 with going to school, being a podcaster slash 00:19:23.660 --> 00:19:26.099 life coach. What was the purpose? And what's 00:19:26.099 --> 00:19:28.059 the purpose do you want for people to understand 00:19:28.059 --> 00:19:31.059 the preparation of the outcome of why is this 00:19:31.059 --> 00:19:34.059 important to them? Going back to again, April's 00:19:34.059 --> 00:19:37.000 theme is walking into the purpose. So we're walking 00:19:37.000 --> 00:19:39.119 in this new chapter of our life, but what is 00:19:39.119 --> 00:19:41.500 the purpose of it? What am I getting out of it? 00:19:41.559 --> 00:19:44.180 What's the glory of it? Am I able to handle what 00:19:44.180 --> 00:19:46.799 comes with it? Highs and lows, pros and cons. 00:19:47.099 --> 00:19:49.240 Am I ready for this? Am I ready for this? Is 00:19:49.240 --> 00:19:52.700 this my calling? What's the main purpose of this 00:19:52.700 --> 00:19:56.579 situation? That also impacts with preparation 00:19:56.579 --> 00:19:59.460 is the process of developing the discipline, 00:19:59.720 --> 00:20:02.700 mindset, skills, patience, and characteristics 00:20:02.700 --> 00:20:06.200 needed to handle what purpose requires. So going 00:20:06.200 --> 00:20:09.099 back to what I said, as we're stepping into this 00:20:09.099 --> 00:20:12.059 new chapter of our life, we are in the fourth 00:20:12.059 --> 00:20:16.430 chapter of our life. For this year of 2026, 2026 00:20:16.430 --> 00:20:19.970 theme is based on you, self, nothing else, nothing 00:20:19.970 --> 00:20:22.309 more, nothing else. We are in this reshaping, 00:20:22.309 --> 00:20:25.549 regrouping. We're walking in purpose. So we have 00:20:25.549 --> 00:20:27.809 to understand is what is the purpose that requires 00:20:27.809 --> 00:20:31.130 the preparation? So the purpose is for you to 00:20:31.130 --> 00:20:33.789 understand why are you doing this? What's the 00:20:33.789 --> 00:20:36.849 outcome? Purpose is the call. Preparation is 00:20:36.849 --> 00:20:39.309 the answers. And the answer of it is going to 00:20:39.309 --> 00:20:42.789 help you. Develop within the discipline, the 00:20:42.789 --> 00:20:46.089 encouragement, all those good things that is 00:20:46.089 --> 00:20:49.210 needed. Such as, you know, let's go, let's compare 00:20:49.210 --> 00:20:53.529 purpose and preparation into words. Purpose is 00:20:53.529 --> 00:20:56.049 the words. Preparation is the action. It's helping 00:20:56.049 --> 00:20:57.970 you see now. Let's put your money where your 00:20:57.970 --> 00:21:00.289 mouth is. Let's see what you're really about. 00:21:00.430 --> 00:21:03.119 Because when it packs with preparation. like 00:21:03.119 --> 00:21:05.339 we just said, like I just said, is developing 00:21:05.339 --> 00:21:08.480 the discipline, mindset, skills, patience, and 00:21:08.480 --> 00:21:12.240 characteristics and characters, excuse me, needed 00:21:12.240 --> 00:21:15.180 to handle what purpose requires. Because purpose 00:21:15.180 --> 00:21:17.960 is the calling. Our purpose is our calling and 00:21:17.960 --> 00:21:20.400 we have to see what it's for. And now are we 00:21:20.400 --> 00:21:22.400 ready for the preparation that equals to the 00:21:22.400 --> 00:21:27.069 answer of what our calling is? hmm and they probably 00:21:27.069 --> 00:21:30.190 like huh i never really thought about it me either 00:21:30.190 --> 00:21:33.150 my friend but we here together not only am i 00:21:33.150 --> 00:21:35.970 helping you but i'm also it's also helping me 00:21:35.970 --> 00:21:39.349 to understand what does this really mean and 00:21:39.349 --> 00:21:42.130 how is this going to help me in you as we walk 00:21:42.650 --> 00:21:44.730 Within the theme of this month, walking into 00:21:44.730 --> 00:21:47.609 our purpose in the second quarter while still 00:21:47.609 --> 00:21:51.170 in the first semester. Because also, many people 00:21:51.170 --> 00:21:53.990 wait until they feel confident or ready before 00:21:53.990 --> 00:21:57.650 taking action. But readiness is usually built 00:21:57.650 --> 00:22:00.430 through consistency, preparation, learning, and 00:22:00.430 --> 00:22:03.670 personal growth. With that being said, going 00:22:03.670 --> 00:22:08.049 back to, I want to say, back probably in March 00:22:08.049 --> 00:22:10.509 when, you know, becoming the next level you. 00:22:11.099 --> 00:22:15.339 We steady, tippy -toed on. We were not prepared 00:22:15.339 --> 00:22:18.900 to do something unless we felt comfortable. Sometimes 00:22:18.900 --> 00:22:21.819 we have to be in this mindset of where we got 00:22:21.819 --> 00:22:24.400 to be uncomfortable to get comfortable. Going 00:22:24.400 --> 00:22:26.259 back to, like I said, too, sometimes we got to 00:22:26.259 --> 00:22:28.400 do it just like we just got to do it. Just like 00:22:28.400 --> 00:22:30.779 Nike, do this like Brutus. Because the more and 00:22:30.779 --> 00:22:32.519 more we wait for confidence to be developed, 00:22:32.700 --> 00:22:35.579 it's not going to be there. It's like motivation, 00:22:36.039 --> 00:22:38.220 discipline and motivation. Going back to that. 00:22:39.140 --> 00:22:42.960 Motivation is temporary. It's temporary. You 00:22:42.960 --> 00:22:45.220 got to put yourself out there. If you really, 00:22:45.259 --> 00:22:48.420 really, really want it, you got to do it. Because 00:22:48.420 --> 00:22:51.200 sometimes motivation is there for the moment. 00:22:51.319 --> 00:22:53.900 It's not going to always be there. Like at times 00:22:53.900 --> 00:22:55.720 it's hard for us, you know, it takes a minute 00:22:55.720 --> 00:22:57.619 for us to get out the bed to do what we got to 00:22:57.619 --> 00:23:01.440 do. But we have to keep in mind too, what's the 00:23:01.440 --> 00:23:06.279 main goal of this? You know, what is the main 00:23:06.279 --> 00:23:08.519 goal for this? Motivation is what's coming up. 00:23:08.640 --> 00:23:10.859 I tell you, even everything we start in life, 00:23:10.880 --> 00:23:12.779 we have the motivation. In the beginning, you're 00:23:12.779 --> 00:23:14.799 here. In the middle, sometimes the motivation 00:23:14.799 --> 00:23:18.059 is like, it's like a stat. Ooh, excuse me, y 00:23:18.059 --> 00:23:21.039 'all. It's not stagnant, but it's like, like 00:23:21.039 --> 00:23:23.640 a weight on the balance of scale, like the Libra 00:23:23.640 --> 00:23:27.339 scale. It goes up, it goes down. It goes up, 00:23:27.359 --> 00:23:29.460 it goes down. And sometimes towards the end, 00:23:30.250 --> 00:23:32.529 That motivation may be different. And sometimes 00:23:32.529 --> 00:23:34.490 every day you got to motivate yourself on a different 00:23:34.490 --> 00:23:37.769 level. Affirmations got to come in. Some different 00:23:37.769 --> 00:23:39.750 affirmations got to, you know, something got 00:23:39.750 --> 00:23:41.690 to give to help the motivation. But it's temporary. 00:23:41.950 --> 00:23:44.529 But the discipline is equal to the preparation 00:23:44.529 --> 00:23:48.069 of it. As we train ourselves with the personal 00:23:48.069 --> 00:23:51.490 growth of helping us learn that this is what 00:23:51.490 --> 00:23:54.230 we want. I know my purpose is my calling. But 00:23:54.230 --> 00:23:57.730 now the preparation is me answering and taking 00:23:57.730 --> 00:24:02.460 that next step forward. Within what's my calling. 00:24:02.579 --> 00:24:06.880 As I'm walking in my purpose. As I'm preparing 00:24:06.880 --> 00:24:10.359 for what's to come with these preparations. I'm 00:24:10.359 --> 00:24:13.599 here with it. I know what's for me. And I know 00:24:13.599 --> 00:24:16.599 how this is going to go. But I got to keep this 00:24:16.599 --> 00:24:19.450 in mind. I can't wait until I'm fully comfortable, 00:24:19.650 --> 00:24:21.730 like I'm in a good mood to do it. Because I got 00:24:21.730 --> 00:24:24.069 to do it, even when it's on my mind, I got to 00:24:24.069 --> 00:24:25.769 get it out. That's me, y 'all, personally. If 00:24:25.769 --> 00:24:27.650 something's on my mind over and over again, I 00:24:27.650 --> 00:24:29.769 can't wait to do it. If it's consistently on 00:24:29.769 --> 00:24:32.670 my mind, that's a sign right there. That little 00:24:32.670 --> 00:24:34.750 voice in your head, intuition, third eye, whatever 00:24:34.750 --> 00:24:36.569 you want to call it, it's not going to lie to 00:24:36.569 --> 00:24:38.990 you. It knows what's for you. And it wants you 00:24:38.990 --> 00:24:41.210 to take a leap on faith. That right there is 00:24:41.210 --> 00:24:43.730 the faith for you. And there's been times where 00:24:43.730 --> 00:24:45.109 y 'all be like, no, I'm not going to do it because 00:24:45.109 --> 00:24:49.079 I'm not mentally there. But if that little voice 00:24:49.079 --> 00:24:52.880 in my head is telling me, yeah, you are. You 00:24:52.880 --> 00:24:55.940 dreamed about this. You talked about this. You 00:24:55.940 --> 00:24:59.160 kept manifesting. You prayed on it. So why not 00:24:59.160 --> 00:25:03.839 do it now and take it like a champ? Do it for 00:25:03.839 --> 00:25:05.779 you. I was about to say do it for the team, y 00:25:05.779 --> 00:25:08.460 'all, but I had to forget. I'm not doing it for 00:25:08.460 --> 00:25:11.920 the team. I'm doing this for me. Okay? Because 00:25:11.920 --> 00:25:14.920 that equals to this. Preparation teach you responsibility. 00:25:16.470 --> 00:25:20.829 Before opportunities arrive, it strengthens your 00:25:20.829 --> 00:25:23.509 foundation so that when doors open, you're capable 00:25:23.509 --> 00:25:29.750 of sustaining what you receive. Like I said, 00:25:29.849 --> 00:25:32.569 sometimes we got to stop waiting for I got to 00:25:32.569 --> 00:25:34.690 be in a good mood for me to be able to do what 00:25:34.690 --> 00:25:37.230 I got to do. No, because preparation teaches 00:25:37.230 --> 00:25:39.630 you responsibility before opportunities arrive. 00:25:40.150 --> 00:25:43.869 It's helping you mentally deal with it. And one 00:25:43.869 --> 00:25:45.630 thing we need to understand too, rejection is 00:25:45.630 --> 00:25:48.950 going to happen. In our personal lives, professional 00:25:48.950 --> 00:25:52.109 lives, every area of our lives, it's going to 00:25:52.109 --> 00:25:54.390 come. Rejection is going to come. We just have 00:25:54.390 --> 00:25:56.789 to understand how to take it. And this is where 00:25:56.789 --> 00:25:59.210 preparation comes in to help us. That is teaching 00:25:59.210 --> 00:26:01.910 us responsibility even before the opportunity 00:26:01.910 --> 00:26:05.269 arrives. If it's good or bad or not, it's teaching 00:26:05.269 --> 00:26:08.170 us what's for us. With on top of it, strengthening 00:26:08.170 --> 00:26:11.289 our foundation, your foundation, so that what 00:26:11.289 --> 00:26:15.569 does open? when the doors open take it jump in 00:26:15.569 --> 00:26:18.769 it flip in it leap in it do it get in that door 00:26:18.769 --> 00:26:20.809 as soon as that door open i want you to go straight 00:26:20.809 --> 00:26:23.029 forward my friend because you're walking in your 00:26:23.029 --> 00:26:25.230 purpose that right there is helping you walk 00:26:25.230 --> 00:26:27.170 in your purpose the preparation is helping you 00:26:27.170 --> 00:26:29.210 understand that this is for you this is your 00:26:29.210 --> 00:26:32.210 calling because you're capable of sustaining 00:26:32.210 --> 00:26:35.869 what you receive and you don't gotta wait till 00:26:35.869 --> 00:26:37.829 you in a good mood you don't have to wait till 00:26:37.829 --> 00:26:41.940 you on a thousand cloud nine to get it no it 00:26:41.940 --> 00:26:44.480 can come at you even when you down bad my friend 00:26:44.480 --> 00:26:47.500 and it shows you even when you down and out it's 00:26:47.500 --> 00:26:50.720 helping you understand you know what i got faith 00:26:50.720 --> 00:26:52.960 in myself so i need to do this even when you 00:26:52.960 --> 00:26:56.700 don't have a good day still walk in the purpose 00:26:56.700 --> 00:26:59.839 of saying good things for yourself and manifesting 00:26:59.839 --> 00:27:02.000 because like i said bad times don't last forever 00:27:02.000 --> 00:27:05.079 they don't and once you're at the bottom all 00:27:05.079 --> 00:27:08.079 you want to do is go to the top so keep going 00:27:08.079 --> 00:27:11.519 and don't fumble yourself Take it one day at 00:27:11.519 --> 00:27:14.660 a time because purpose is not just what you're 00:27:14.660 --> 00:27:17.380 called to do. Like I said, purpose is your call. 00:27:18.279 --> 00:27:23.259 Preparation is the answer. But preparation is 00:27:23.259 --> 00:27:28.180 not just about what you're called to do. It's 00:27:28.180 --> 00:27:31.579 about becoming the person you are carrying the 00:27:31.579 --> 00:27:35.079 responsibility that comes with. As you're walking 00:27:35.079 --> 00:27:38.539 in your purpose, the purpose is the calling. 00:27:38.579 --> 00:27:42.519 Like I said, like I said, purpose equals call. 00:27:43.480 --> 00:27:46.660 Preparation is the answer. So you have the calling. 00:27:46.819 --> 00:27:49.220 You have it. And now walk into that preparation 00:27:49.220 --> 00:27:51.200 with your head held high, regardless if you're 00:27:51.200 --> 00:27:53.359 in a good mood or not.

Purpose is the 00:28:30.640 --> 00:28:34.779 calling. Preparation is the answer. So true preparation, 00:28:35.099 --> 00:28:39.599 meaning the answer, helps you grow into your 00:28:39.599 --> 00:28:43.339 purpose rather than rushing it. So the true answer 00:28:43.339 --> 00:28:46.420 is helping you grow into your calling rather 00:28:46.420 --> 00:28:51.579 than you rushing into it when you're unprepared. 00:28:52.240 --> 00:28:56.119 When you're not ready for that call, don't rush 00:28:56.119 --> 00:28:58.940 it. Keep going. Take your time slow and steady. 00:28:59.140 --> 00:29:02.339 So when it's time for you to take that call and 00:29:02.339 --> 00:29:05.519 you answer it and you put it in a word, it's 00:29:05.519 --> 00:29:08.140 going to do what it's going to do for you, my 00:29:08.140 --> 00:29:11.480 friend. I'm telling you. I'm walking right with 00:29:11.480 --> 00:29:14.279 you. If you don't think so, we all got a story 00:29:14.279 --> 00:29:17.359 to tell. We all got different stories. And this 00:29:17.359 --> 00:29:20.710 is why this is important for you. Because you 00:29:20.710 --> 00:29:22.890 are called to do something great in your life. 00:29:23.049 --> 00:29:24.990 You just have to understand that you have to 00:29:24.990 --> 00:29:28.390 walk in your purpose. And that's why this vibe 00:29:28.390 --> 00:29:30.930 of the day started off the month of April with 00:29:30.930 --> 00:29:33.470 walking in your purpose, becoming who you are, 00:29:33.549 --> 00:29:37.470 because this is what is for you. This is your 00:29:37.470 --> 00:29:40.069 calling. I have to help you understand what is 00:29:40.069 --> 00:29:42.910 the main cause and the main reason of walking 00:29:42.910 --> 00:29:45.859 in your purpose. What is it? what is it with 00:29:45.859 --> 00:29:48.799 me what is it why is purpose requires preparation 00:29:48.799 --> 00:29:52.579 because a call requires an answer a call requires 00:29:52.579 --> 00:29:56.279 an answer and you have to be able to answer that 00:29:56.279 --> 00:29:58.940 phone when it picks up answer the message whatever 00:29:58.940 --> 00:30:01.880 the case may be you have to be willing to take 00:30:01.880 --> 00:30:04.519 it for yourself and not for the team because 00:30:04.519 --> 00:30:07.700 this is your journey like i said this year 2026 00:30:07.700 --> 00:30:11.779 is all about you you you you you you no one else 00:30:11.779 --> 00:30:16.150 you're still in the And the car, the climax, 00:30:16.309 --> 00:30:19.029 the boat, whatever you want to prefer as you're 00:30:19.029 --> 00:30:21.609 in a setting where you're doing for you. You're 00:30:21.609 --> 00:30:24.309 taking control when it needs to be time to take 00:30:24.309 --> 00:30:26.849 control. You're popping out when you want to 00:30:26.849 --> 00:30:29.349 pop out and you're being selfish. And right now 00:30:29.349 --> 00:30:32.589 we're being extra selfish as we are entering 00:30:32.589 --> 00:30:35.730 second quarter before the first semester comes 00:30:35.730 --> 00:30:38.130 to an end. I'm taking control of what matters 00:30:38.130 --> 00:30:39.910 to me. Yes, I'm going to be selfish because this 00:30:39.910 --> 00:30:43.799 is what I am waiting for. I'm wanting to. Step 00:30:43.799 --> 00:30:46.019 into my preparation. I want my answers, but I 00:30:46.019 --> 00:30:47.859 have to make sure my purpose equals the calling 00:30:47.859 --> 00:30:50.839 is there and it's set before I can do that. So 00:30:50.839 --> 00:30:53.359 I got to take control. I got to be selfish and 00:30:53.359 --> 00:30:55.319 I got to pop out when it's necessary for me. 00:30:55.900 --> 00:30:58.319 Vice versa for you, my friend.

I want to say 00:37:02.000 --> 00:37:06.219 this because I've been through both ends of the 00:37:06.219 --> 00:37:10.320 journey.

Because I've learned this too, y 00:39:35.539 --> 00:39:37.800 'all. When good things happen, even bad things, 00:39:37.940 --> 00:39:41.820 the moment it happens, murder in it.

But I want you to know that no one 00:40:16.250 --> 00:40:19.530 can dim it unless you allow them to dim it. Like 00:40:19.530 --> 00:40:22.909 no one can control anything unless you let them 00:40:22.909 --> 00:40:25.070 control it. You let them be the puppet master 00:40:25.070 --> 00:40:27.849 for you. And right now, when you're in this theme, 00:40:27.929 --> 00:40:29.849 this chapter of our life, we're walking in the 00:40:29.849 --> 00:40:31.570 purpose. This season, we're walking in purpose. 00:40:32.250 --> 00:40:35.150 We're not going to let nobody tell us and tell 00:40:35.150 --> 00:40:38.570 us and dictate us. No, hell no. We're doing what's 00:40:38.570 --> 00:40:41.409 for us. And why is this for us and things of 00:40:41.409 --> 00:40:45.210 that nature? Because this message also supports 00:40:45.210 --> 00:40:48.010 individuals who compare their journeys to others 00:40:48.010 --> 00:40:51.389 and feel behind. Going back to the puppet master 00:40:51.389 --> 00:40:54.309 and all that stuff. Don't ever compare your journey 00:40:54.309 --> 00:40:56.789 to anyone else or feel behind because we don't 00:40:56.789 --> 00:40:58.789 know how their stuff is and you don't know how 00:40:58.789 --> 00:41:02.289 their stuff is. And one thing people fail to 00:41:02.289 --> 00:41:04.889 realize and look at too as a source is social 00:41:04.889 --> 00:41:07.349 media all the time. Social media, you could be 00:41:07.349 --> 00:41:11.230 anybody and do. anything and whatever y 'all 00:41:11.230 --> 00:41:13.610 my microphone just keep falling because my hand 00:41:13.610 --> 00:41:16.789 motions like this is crazy but y 'all hear me 00:41:16.789 --> 00:41:21.369 though but don't keep looking at somebody's progress 00:41:21.369 --> 00:41:25.230 and then measuring why questioning yourself about 00:41:25.230 --> 00:41:28.110 your progress no sometimes well not sometimes 00:41:28.110 --> 00:41:30.590 it's just not your time we could be in the same 00:41:30.590 --> 00:41:33.090 race but it's not my time to win first place 00:41:33.659 --> 00:41:36.480 it may not be your time to win first place you 00:41:36.480 --> 00:41:40.980 know sometimes we have to be mindful of i can't 00:41:40.980 --> 00:41:43.659 keep looking at this person and wondering why 00:41:43.659 --> 00:41:46.699 i feel behind they're ahead of me because of 00:41:46.699 --> 00:41:49.199 how they doing no it's just that right now it's 00:41:49.199 --> 00:41:50.980 not for you and it's okay because regardless 00:41:50.980 --> 00:41:53.699 you're going to get it regardless you're going 00:41:53.699 --> 00:41:55.400 to be riding around and getting it my friend 00:41:55.400 --> 00:41:58.179 trust me regardless of how you feel like dang 00:41:58.179 --> 00:42:00.900 he or she had to be like what the hell am i doing 00:42:00.900 --> 00:42:04.210 wrong nothing It's just not for you. It doesn't 00:42:04.210 --> 00:42:07.170 make you slower. It doesn't make you less of 00:42:07.170 --> 00:42:09.510 a person. No, it's just that right now in your 00:42:09.510 --> 00:42:11.949 life, they're not, you were not in their same 00:42:11.949 --> 00:42:13.670 category with them. It's like we could start 00:42:13.670 --> 00:42:16.090 a journey together. I could be ahead of you. 00:42:16.150 --> 00:42:19.369 You may be behind me. It don't matter. Slow and 00:42:19.369 --> 00:42:21.769 steady wins the race and some people's pace is 00:42:21.769 --> 00:42:23.710 different. My pace may be different from yours 00:42:23.710 --> 00:42:25.690 and your pace may be different from mine. It's 00:42:25.690 --> 00:42:27.469 like everything in our life from getting a license, 00:42:27.650 --> 00:42:29.769 getting a high school diploma, getting a degree, 00:42:29.929 --> 00:42:32.210 shoot, getting a house, having a family. It takes 00:42:32.210 --> 00:42:36.349 time. We have the purpose, you know, we got that 00:42:36.349 --> 00:42:38.429 car, but right now my preparation ain't come 00:42:38.429 --> 00:42:42.119 through like yours. It takes time. And I'm walking 00:42:42.119 --> 00:42:44.639 in my purpose how I want it to be. I'm not waiting 00:42:44.639 --> 00:42:46.820 on, I'm not, you know, comparing myself to anyone. 00:42:47.099 --> 00:42:49.179 One thing about it, I'm going to give you your 00:42:49.179 --> 00:42:52.099 flowers. Congratulations. I'm proud. I'm happy 00:42:52.099 --> 00:42:55.639 for you. And I'm being sincere. Okay? And you 00:42:55.639 --> 00:42:58.460 be sincere. Because once it's your time to get 00:42:58.460 --> 00:42:59.860 it to my friend, trust me, you're going to feel 00:42:59.860 --> 00:43:04.659 the same way. So don't keep, don't feel like 00:43:04.659 --> 00:43:07.099 you're behind. And don't compare yourself to 00:43:07.099 --> 00:43:08.800 others because everyone's, we're not the same. 00:43:09.509 --> 00:43:11.329 We're not the same. We're not the same, boo. 00:43:11.650 --> 00:43:14.789 We're not. Because like I say all the time, regardless 00:43:14.789 --> 00:43:17.110 of what you got going on, I'm here. I'm proud 00:43:17.110 --> 00:43:19.789 of you regardless how big or small it is. I'm 00:43:19.789 --> 00:43:22.409 here and I'm proud of you because no one knows 00:43:22.409 --> 00:43:24.809 how hard it was for you to do it and no one knows 00:43:24.809 --> 00:43:26.750 how hard it is for you to deal with the things 00:43:26.750 --> 00:43:28.849 that you're dealing with. So don't compare yourself 00:43:28.849 --> 00:43:31.329 to nobody's journey and don't feel like you're 00:43:31.329 --> 00:43:34.349 behind because you're not. If you got to start 00:43:34.349 --> 00:43:37.070 over, whatever, sometimes do it and don't feel 00:43:37.070 --> 00:43:39.949 like you're behind. Hell no. I used to feel like 00:43:39.949 --> 00:43:42.230 that. I used to be like, damn, I'm behind. Because 00:43:42.230 --> 00:43:44.349 when we keep putting times and limits on things, 00:43:44.469 --> 00:43:46.610 that's when things messed up. That's when things 00:43:46.610 --> 00:43:49.329 get messed up. Don't do it. Take it one day at 00:43:49.329 --> 00:43:52.449 a time and enjoy it. And enjoy it. Because many 00:43:52.449 --> 00:43:55.030 people see someone else walking in their purpose, 00:43:55.110 --> 00:43:58.190 but don't see the preparation that happens beforehand. 00:43:59.000 --> 00:44:01.460 Like I said, we all have different callings and 00:44:01.460 --> 00:44:04.179 we all get different answers. We can't compare 00:44:04.179 --> 00:44:06.440 ourselves because sometimes it's not going to, 00:44:06.440 --> 00:44:08.039 it's not the same period. It won't have the same 00:44:08.039 --> 00:44:10.199 outcome. Our journey, our stories will not be 00:44:10.199 --> 00:44:12.219 the same. That's why you have to take a leap 00:44:12.219 --> 00:44:15.000 of faith and keep going for you. Because anyone 00:44:15.000 --> 00:44:17.639 who feels uncertain about their timing, ability, 00:44:17.880 --> 00:44:20.239 or readiness can benefit from understanding that 00:44:20.239 --> 00:44:22.159 preparation is not a delay, it's a development. 00:44:22.920 --> 00:44:25.929 You know, we have the purpose, the calling. But 00:44:25.929 --> 00:44:28.750 the answer to the call for us to receive it, 00:44:28.769 --> 00:44:32.090 it takes time to develop. It takes time, but 00:44:32.090 --> 00:44:34.789 it's coming. It's coming. While you're walking 00:44:34.789 --> 00:44:36.530 in your purpose, it's coming. The preparation 00:44:36.530 --> 00:44:40.250 is coming. Don't leave yourself out and don't 00:44:40.250 --> 00:44:44.289 feel left out. It's coming. It's coming. Keep 00:44:44.289 --> 00:44:46.530 in mind, it can come any time of the day, any 00:44:46.530 --> 00:44:49.309 time, any place. it's going to come my friend 00:44:49.309 --> 00:44:52.329 stop selling yourself short because those who 00:44:52.329 --> 00:44:56.349 feel impatient overwhelmed or doubtful during 00:44:56.349 --> 00:44:59.309 their growth process needs the remind this reminder 00:44:59.309 --> 00:45:03.030 the most you got it take it one day at a time 00:45:03.579 --> 00:45:07.719 Do not compare yourself to other people's journeys. 00:45:07.860 --> 00:45:09.960 And do not feel like you're behind because you're 00:45:09.960 --> 00:45:13.019 not. Slow and steady wins the race. You got it. 00:45:13.059 --> 00:45:15.460 It's going to all work out in your favor. You 00:45:15.460 --> 00:45:19.239 just have to believe in yourself and sometimes 00:45:19.239 --> 00:45:22.840 leave a mystery on some things in your life because 00:45:22.840 --> 00:45:24.860 everybody don't need to know what the hell going 00:45:24.860 --> 00:45:28.739 on. I learned that too. Even social media. Cut 00:45:28.739 --> 00:45:31.059 out today. Everybody don't need to know what's 00:45:31.059 --> 00:45:33.420 going on. Sometimes, like Kendrick Lamar said, 00:45:33.500 --> 00:45:36.119 you got to pop out and show people better than 00:45:36.119 --> 00:45:38.179 you can tell them. And that'd be the best thing 00:45:38.179 --> 00:45:40.699 ever. Because me breaking down my game plan, 00:45:40.860 --> 00:45:43.239 shoot, you might end up stealing my damn stuff. 00:45:43.360 --> 00:45:45.920 And I'll be there for you to do that. And I will 00:45:45.920 --> 00:45:48.579 tell you, the first big thing that I kept on 00:45:48.579 --> 00:45:51.420 a hush and it's helping me still evolve is this 00:45:51.420 --> 00:45:55.900 podcast. I didn't tell a show. I just did it. 00:45:55.920 --> 00:45:59.260 Everybody like, what? What made you? Ta -da! 00:46:00.000 --> 00:46:02.719 I'm letting the work speak for itself. My purpose 00:46:02.719 --> 00:46:05.559 was there. And here's the preparation, and it's 00:46:05.559 --> 00:46:08.199 still going. And I'm still standing strong. Regardless 00:46:08.199 --> 00:46:10.380 of what comes into my way, yes, I had to take 00:46:10.380 --> 00:46:14.079 a little break for a minute. But I'm back. And 00:46:14.079 --> 00:46:15.900 I'm not going to let nothing or anything stop 00:46:15.900 --> 00:46:19.579 me. I want you to keep that in mind. Keep going. 00:46:21.090 --> 00:46:24.210 Don't sell yourself short. Don't rush it. And 00:46:24.210 --> 00:46:26.550 don't be impatient or overwhelmed. Trust me, 00:46:26.570 --> 00:46:29.530 I had those feelings before. But you have to 00:46:29.530 --> 00:46:32.010 remember, you got to take it one day at a time. 00:46:32.050 --> 00:46:34.429 Because if not, it still ain't going to go right 00:46:34.429 --> 00:46:36.269 if you keep rushing the process because the next 00:46:36.269 --> 00:46:38.789 person podcasting their stuff. Let them have 00:46:38.789 --> 00:46:40.909 their moments. Because when your moment comes, 00:46:41.010 --> 00:46:42.969 my friend, oh, I'm telling you, you're going 00:46:42.969 --> 00:46:47.050 to be turned up 10 times too. I'm here for it. 00:46:47.070 --> 00:46:49.510 I'm manifesting it for you. And I know it's going 00:46:49.510 --> 00:46:51.989 to happen because I'm praying with you. Take 00:46:51.989 --> 00:46:53.869 it one day at a time and don't let nothing or 00:46:53.869 --> 00:46:56.070 no one stop you. You're your biggest cheerleader, 00:46:56.190 --> 00:46:59.389 your biggest everything. Keep going. Don't let 00:46:59.389 --> 00:47:02.690 no one tear you down as you're walking in your 00:47:02.690 --> 00:47:06.809 purpose. Don't let no one do that. And don't 00:47:06.809 --> 00:47:08.869 you forget it. You got it. Take it one at a time. 00:47:10.510 --> 00:47:12.809 Don't let nothing or nobody name on one day to 00:47:12.809 --> 00:47:16.380 try you. because this is for you and it's all 00:47:16.380 --> 00:47:20.780 going to work out in this purpose okay so what 00:47:20.780 --> 00:47:23.079 is the benefit what happens when you embrace 00:47:23.079 --> 00:47:26.659 preparation a lot of good comments before me 00:47:26.659 --> 00:47:29.360 before i dig into it a lot of things are going 00:47:29.360 --> 00:47:33.880 to help you understand your growth and also matter 00:47:33.880 --> 00:47:35.900 of fact is you understanding yourself on a deeper 00:47:35.900 --> 00:47:39.530 level that you probably didn't even know So when 00:47:39.530 --> 00:47:42.690 embracing preparation, you begin to trust your 00:47:42.690 --> 00:47:45.909 progress instead of rushing growth. Going back 00:47:45.909 --> 00:47:48.070 to, like I said, you're learning yourself more. 00:47:48.170 --> 00:47:51.110 You're learning, okay, if I take my time, you 00:47:51.110 --> 00:47:55.210 know, take my time with it, slow down, let it 00:47:55.210 --> 00:47:58.550 soak in like seasoning, I'm learning and I'm 00:47:58.550 --> 00:48:02.469 growing in this area. You become more confident 00:48:02.469 --> 00:48:05.309 because your skills, mindset, and discipline 00:48:05.309 --> 00:48:09.659 improve over time. Confidence is a big one. As 00:48:09.659 --> 00:48:11.460 we're walking in our purpose, we got to have 00:48:11.460 --> 00:48:13.800 confidence. The confidence has to help you along 00:48:13.800 --> 00:48:16.320 the way. You got to have confidence. Even when 00:48:16.320 --> 00:48:20.360 things go wrong, still be able to walk around 00:48:20.360 --> 00:48:22.559 with your head held high. Because the more and 00:48:22.559 --> 00:48:25.179 more you have it down, people are going to run 00:48:25.179 --> 00:48:27.440 over top of you. And I'll be damned for that 00:48:27.440 --> 00:48:31.519 to happen to you or I. I'll be damned. So I want 00:48:31.519 --> 00:48:34.489 you to walk around, you know. Even when things 00:48:34.489 --> 00:48:36.789 go wrong, still walk around with your head held 00:48:36.789 --> 00:48:39.550 high and don't let nothing or no one try to tear 00:48:39.550 --> 00:48:43.349 you down because damn that. You know what you 00:48:43.349 --> 00:48:45.349 did. You know what you're doing. You know what 00:48:45.349 --> 00:48:47.510 you signed up for, all that. You're building 00:48:47.510 --> 00:48:49.730 your confidence. It's not making you feel conceited. 00:48:49.750 --> 00:48:51.869 Shoot, somebody think you conceited? Hey, you 00:48:51.869 --> 00:48:56.329 got a reason. Remember I told you before. And 00:48:56.329 --> 00:48:58.489 but most importantly too is helping you understand 00:48:58.489 --> 00:49:03.309 your skills. What skills you have. how your mindset 00:49:03.309 --> 00:49:08.170 is, as well as the discipline equals the responsibility, 00:49:08.170 --> 00:49:12.690 but most of all, the goal, the creation, all 00:49:12.690 --> 00:49:16.190 that you have set for yourself is improving over 00:49:16.190 --> 00:49:19.769 time because preparation helps you reduce fear 00:49:19.769 --> 00:49:22.769 because you feel more equal to handle challenges 00:49:22.769 --> 00:49:26.530 when they arise. When you are able to have your 00:49:26.530 --> 00:49:29.880 head held high, The discipline, the mindset, 00:49:29.940 --> 00:49:33.159 and the skills come into play. It's helping you 00:49:33.159 --> 00:49:35.699 reduce that fear. You know, you being able to 00:49:35.699 --> 00:49:39.340 now, like, I'm shimmered in anything. Regardless 00:49:39.340 --> 00:49:41.719 if I have the motivation or not, I'm able to 00:49:41.719 --> 00:49:44.860 take this challenge with or without anyone by 00:49:44.860 --> 00:49:48.280 my side. Because I'm able to do things. Even 00:49:48.280 --> 00:49:50.480 when those challenges arrive, I'm able to still 00:49:50.480 --> 00:49:54.119 be calm, keep my head up high, and take the results 00:49:54.119 --> 00:49:57.119 how they're coming. Good or bad, I'm here for 00:49:57.119 --> 00:50:01.019 it. I'm still going to be strong. Yes, we still 00:50:01.019 --> 00:50:03.079 have our moments where it's like, damn, this 00:50:03.079 --> 00:50:06.139 shit done did this to me. But we live and we 00:50:06.139 --> 00:50:08.820 learn. That's that growth mindset. Because if 00:50:08.820 --> 00:50:10.380 it was fixed, we'd be like, oh, fuck y 'all, 00:50:10.400 --> 00:50:15.719 everything. I'm not, no. We growing. We living 00:50:15.719 --> 00:50:17.699 and we learning. I'm walking in my purpose. I 00:50:17.699 --> 00:50:19.000 know what's for me. I know what's not for me. 00:50:19.039 --> 00:50:20.360 I know what I can take and what I can't take. 00:50:21.119 --> 00:50:26.099 So we understanding ourselves more. Real bad. 00:50:29.760 --> 00:50:33.719 because it's needed. It's growing. Most importantly, 00:50:33.900 --> 00:50:37.039 preparation creates endurance. When challenges 00:50:37.039 --> 00:50:40.079 approach, will appear and approach, and they 00:50:40.079 --> 00:50:44.300 will, preparation gives you the strength to keep 00:50:44.300 --> 00:50:47.780 going instead of giving up. Preparation is helping 00:50:47.780 --> 00:50:50.219 you to understand that you had the purpose equals 00:50:50.219 --> 00:50:52.739 the calling. Now is the answer. Are you willing 00:50:52.739 --> 00:50:55.940 to take this? Are you willing to keep going or 00:50:55.940 --> 00:50:58.119 not? But I think you can keep going. I don't 00:50:58.119 --> 00:50:59.980 think, I know you can keep going because once 00:50:59.980 --> 00:51:02.360 you build up the confidence to keep your head 00:51:02.360 --> 00:51:07.019 held high, nothing or no one can stop you. When 00:51:07.019 --> 00:51:10.039 you begin to understand that success is not just 00:51:10.039 --> 00:51:12.679 about opportunities, it's about readiness to 00:51:12.679 --> 00:51:16.420 sustain what comes next. You're able to understand 00:51:16.420 --> 00:51:19.860 what is coming next. I'm here for it. Now let's 00:51:19.860 --> 00:51:23.539 get into it. I got it. I just got to stay strong. 00:51:25.019 --> 00:51:29.420 That's all. When it comes into when should someone 00:51:29.420 --> 00:51:33.239 focus on preparation? Well, let me say this. 00:51:33.360 --> 00:51:37.039 When you feel like things may be kind of, you 00:51:37.039 --> 00:51:39.960 question yourself a little bit, but try to focus 00:51:39.960 --> 00:51:43.840 on it every day. It may be helpful to focus on 00:51:43.840 --> 00:51:46.760 preparation when you feel called to do more, 00:51:46.820 --> 00:51:50.559 but don't feel. confident yet that right there 00:51:50.559 --> 00:51:52.880 is testing you to see you know what i have faith 00:51:52.880 --> 00:51:55.679 in you this has faith in you so why not take 00:51:55.679 --> 00:51:58.920 a leap on that faith and do it as well as you're 00:51:58.920 --> 00:52:01.239 learning new skills or stepping into unfamiliar 00:52:01.239 --> 00:52:04.780 spaces for me y 'all for example a week ago to 00:52:04.780 --> 00:52:07.619 the right two weeks ago i stepped into a room 00:52:07.619 --> 00:52:10.119 full of social workers psychiatrists counselors 00:52:10.119 --> 00:52:12.730 principals assistant principals Granted, all 00:52:12.730 --> 00:52:16.449 I have is a BSW with these people. I'm in my 00:52:16.449 --> 00:52:18.909 process of my MSW. So once I get that, I'll be 00:52:18.909 --> 00:52:23.110 in the room with them. Y 'all, I'm learning new 00:52:23.110 --> 00:52:27.110 skills there. And I was stepped into an unfamiliar 00:52:27.110 --> 00:52:31.039 space. Trust me, granted, yes, someone is always 00:52:31.039 --> 00:52:34.500 that one that's going to challenge you. And there 00:52:34.500 --> 00:52:36.719 was one lady, she challenged me, y 'all. Ooh, 00:52:36.719 --> 00:52:39.539 she challenged me so bad that the Baltimore Northeast 00:52:39.539 --> 00:52:41.900 side of me was about to come out in them people's 00:52:41.900 --> 00:52:46.139 establishment. But I said, you know what? I'm 00:52:46.139 --> 00:52:48.719 surrounded by all these people that got higher 00:52:48.719 --> 00:52:52.159 titles. And I'm the youngest one here. Because 00:52:52.159 --> 00:52:54.119 the little joke they have at my internship is 00:52:54.119 --> 00:52:58.510 they call me the youngest in charge. And I said, 00:52:58.550 --> 00:53:01.389 you know what? I'm about to be right there with 00:53:01.389 --> 00:53:04.429 y 'all. Granted, the principal and my supervisor 00:53:04.429 --> 00:53:06.969 invited me here for a reason, to learn this. 00:53:07.110 --> 00:53:10.190 And this is an unfamiliar space for me. But I'm 00:53:10.190 --> 00:53:13.250 here. I'm focused on the preparation. Shoot, 00:53:13.389 --> 00:53:16.570 I'm still at my calling error. But I answered 00:53:16.570 --> 00:53:20.250 the phone today for this, so I could be there. 00:53:20.409 --> 00:53:22.949 And that same person, y 'all, was still giving 00:53:22.949 --> 00:53:26.579 me the... The ugly and the stank look. But look 00:53:26.579 --> 00:53:34.519 at me now, baby. Huh. Look. I'm here. Huh. Don't 00:53:34.519 --> 00:53:37.280 ever judge a book by its cover until you get 00:53:37.280 --> 00:53:41.820 the chance to sit down and read the first pages 00:53:41.820 --> 00:53:45.420 or so of the person or whatever. If you don't 00:53:45.420 --> 00:53:48.659 like it, kindly put it back. This is what's wrong. 00:53:48.800 --> 00:53:51.659 Sometimes we get to judging so fast instead of 00:53:51.920 --> 00:53:53.619 You know, asking questions, get a little feel 00:53:53.619 --> 00:53:57.960 of people. Yeah. So I know. Trust me. I know. 00:53:58.960 --> 00:54:02.019 Also, too, when opportunities feel delayed and 00:54:02.019 --> 00:54:06.559 frustrations begins to grow. Like I said, I have 00:54:06.559 --> 00:54:10.800 a BSW. I'm in the MSW program. Opportunities 00:54:10.800 --> 00:54:13.829 are coming left to right for me. But they feel 00:54:13.829 --> 00:54:16.610 like they were delayed due to my level, you know, 00:54:16.650 --> 00:54:19.210 your level of education and your experience. 00:54:19.750 --> 00:54:23.829 And happy credits. Frustration did begin to grow 00:54:23.829 --> 00:54:26.030 for me. But I had to step back and understand 00:54:26.030 --> 00:54:28.130 that, you know, it comes in the journey. It's 00:54:28.130 --> 00:54:31.090 a part of the journey. Some things are here for 00:54:31.090 --> 00:54:34.469 you and some things are not. And you live and 00:54:34.469 --> 00:54:39.070 you learn. That helped prepare, prepare, prepare, 00:54:39.070 --> 00:54:43.099 prepare, prepare. It helped prepare me. That 00:54:43.099 --> 00:54:46.000 preparation helped prepare me to understand rejection. 00:54:47.039 --> 00:54:50.199 It helped me understand rejection in a professional 00:54:50.199 --> 00:54:54.360 way. Personally, for me, personal rejection hit 00:54:54.360 --> 00:54:56.400 it hard. Especially when you shoot your shot, 00:54:56.440 --> 00:54:58.860 trying to shoot your shot at the man. That helped 00:54:58.860 --> 00:55:02.320 me hard. It helped me. So when professionals 00:55:02.320 --> 00:55:05.659 stepped in too, I was like, damn. This hit harder 00:55:05.659 --> 00:55:08.679 too, but I'm glad I dealt with some personal 00:55:08.679 --> 00:55:12.440 rejections for me to understand personal rejections 00:55:12.440 --> 00:55:15.500 as well, professional rejections as well, as 00:55:15.500 --> 00:55:18.179 well as you feel tempted to rush growth instead 00:55:18.179 --> 00:55:21.119 of trusting the process. Once again, we've all 00:55:21.119 --> 00:55:23.860 been there. I've done that. I got my first degree, 00:55:24.079 --> 00:55:25.860 my associate's degree. I'm looking at my cat 00:55:25.860 --> 00:55:29.579 right now on the wall. That experience gave me 00:55:29.579 --> 00:55:32.019 hell. Some of the school during the pandemic. 00:55:33.449 --> 00:55:35.550 Right then and there, that gave me hell. And 00:55:35.550 --> 00:55:38.690 when, you know, pandemic rise, I went on campus, 00:55:38.889 --> 00:55:41.289 it still gave me hell. Being around professors 00:55:41.289 --> 00:55:44.570 that don't look like me, it still gave me hell 00:55:44.570 --> 00:55:47.289 because they still looking down on me. And I 00:55:47.289 --> 00:55:50.969 said this, I rushed the growth. I was like, hell, 00:55:51.130 --> 00:55:54.489 give me my degree so I can go, excuse me, get 00:55:54.489 --> 00:55:58.889 my BSW at a university where I belong. Granted, 00:55:58.889 --> 00:56:02.710 not all professors had me that way. I still found 00:56:02.710 --> 00:56:08.409 joy in it. But towards the end, I trust the process. 00:56:09.090 --> 00:56:11.489 But when I came, you know, when the pandemic 00:56:11.489 --> 00:56:13.829 lifted, I was in my sophomore year of college. 00:56:14.110 --> 00:56:17.789 I was like, F this. I'm ready to get over with 00:56:17.789 --> 00:56:21.210 so I can prepare to go to Morgan. And I ain't 00:56:21.210 --> 00:56:22.369 got to worry about people looking at me like 00:56:22.369 --> 00:56:26.139 I'm crazy. You know? We all been through it. 00:56:26.219 --> 00:56:29.059 As well as you notice yourself comparing your 00:56:29.059 --> 00:56:33.840 timeline to others. I did that too. We did that 00:56:33.840 --> 00:56:37.099 too. I compared my timeline to sometimes my mama. 00:56:37.360 --> 00:56:41.599 My mama went to school three times. And more 00:56:41.599 --> 00:56:45.059 before. And I've compared. I've been like dang. 00:56:46.219 --> 00:56:50.760 Mama had this at this age. I'm at this age. Had 00:56:50.760 --> 00:56:54.960 to stop comparing. because her timeline was way 00:56:54.960 --> 00:56:57.119 different from mine as well as mine is different 00:56:57.119 --> 00:57:02.679 from hers. I had to stop comparing myself to 00:57:02.679 --> 00:57:07.260 people and things that was hurting even more. 00:57:07.360 --> 00:57:09.119 This one hurts even more. When you compare yourself 00:57:09.119 --> 00:57:12.320 to other people, it hurts even more. So you got 00:57:12.320 --> 00:57:14.380 to understand that it may be helpful to focus 00:57:14.380 --> 00:57:16.280 on the preparation when these things happen, 00:57:16.440 --> 00:57:19.530 such as... When you feel called to do more, but 00:57:19.530 --> 00:57:21.610 you don't feel confident to do it, preparation 00:57:21.610 --> 00:57:23.769 is here to help you. It's the key. It's the answer 00:57:23.769 --> 00:57:26.969 to the command. When you're learning new skills 00:57:26.969 --> 00:57:30.429 in unfamiliar spaces, like I said, your opportunity 00:57:30.429 --> 00:57:32.610 feels delayed as frustrations begin. Remember 00:57:32.610 --> 00:57:35.329 the preparation. As well as you feel tempted 00:57:35.329 --> 00:57:37.809 to rush the growth instead of the progress, stressing 00:57:37.809 --> 00:57:41.489 the progress, on top of you notice yourself comparing 00:57:41.489 --> 00:57:46.019 your time to others. You feel uncertain about 00:57:46.019 --> 00:57:49.440 your readiness but still feel pushed towards 00:57:49.440 --> 00:57:53.119 growth. Remember, preparation is the key. It's 00:57:53.119 --> 00:57:55.739 the answer. Keep reminding yourself, I know my 00:57:55.739 --> 00:57:59.179 answer. I got to stop relying on everybody else's 00:57:59.179 --> 00:58:01.360 because I don't know how they did theirs. I don't 00:58:01.360 --> 00:58:04.300 know what they did. I got to focus on me, me, 00:58:04.340 --> 00:58:06.800 myself, and I. You got to remember that. Because 00:58:06.800 --> 00:58:14.630 preparation seasons are often quiet. meaning 00:58:14.630 --> 00:58:20.010 you know everybody need to know even sometimes 00:58:20.010 --> 00:58:23.190 i'm like dang it's a little it gets lonely but 00:58:23.190 --> 00:58:26.889 they're necessary being alone is necessary when 00:58:26.889 --> 00:58:29.670 you're in these areas of walking in your purpose 00:58:29.670 --> 00:58:33.909 purpose requires the preparation you gotta be 00:58:33.909 --> 00:58:36.519 in this chapter of your life sometimes alone 00:58:36.519 --> 00:58:40.099 and i know it gets boring hell y 'all it gets 00:58:40.099 --> 00:58:42.119 boring at night sometimes but when it feels good 00:58:42.119 --> 00:58:44.659 outside you know and it's just you lounge around 00:58:44.659 --> 00:58:48.239 it's like damn this is so lonely but you gotta 00:58:48.239 --> 00:58:52.699 remember It's necessary because there are the 00:58:52.699 --> 00:58:55.619 seasons where confidence is built and characters 00:58:55.619 --> 00:58:58.480 is being strengthened. So sometimes you got to 00:58:58.480 --> 00:59:00.380 be alone. You got to be your own best friend 00:59:00.380 --> 00:59:02.860 to understand what's going on in your life. As 00:59:02.860 --> 00:59:05.519 you're walking in this purpose, you got to understand 00:59:05.519 --> 00:59:08.659 that it gets lonely. Yes, I get lonely. You get 00:59:08.659 --> 00:59:11.619 lonely. We all get lonely. But preparation seasons 00:59:11.619 --> 00:59:15.969 often are quiet. but they're necessary it's necessary 00:59:15.969 --> 00:59:18.949 sometimes when you're in the zone of preparing 00:59:18.949 --> 00:59:21.269 for whatever you have going on and walking in 00:59:21.269 --> 00:59:24.150 your purpose you gotta be alone not everybody 00:59:24.150 --> 00:59:26.730 needs to know what the hell's going on not everybody 00:59:26.730 --> 00:59:30.139 needs to know what you're doing why are you doing 00:59:30.139 --> 00:59:31.780 this everybody don't need to know all that no 00:59:31.780 --> 00:59:34.400 you will see me when you see me and if a real 00:59:34.400 --> 00:59:36.280 person in your life you know your reason understand 00:59:36.280 --> 00:59:38.639 why you're not talking to them for a minute they 00:59:38.639 --> 00:59:41.019 understand seasonal people be like oh that's 00:59:41.019 --> 00:59:42.739 so fake and phony okay that ghost show you're 00:59:42.739 --> 00:59:45.920 not for me and sometimes too your seasons will 00:59:45.920 --> 00:59:47.739 turn into your reasons sometimes your reasons 00:59:47.739 --> 00:59:49.800 will turn into seasons you'll see who's for you 00:59:49.800 --> 00:59:52.219 and what's not for you but understand that when 00:59:52.219 --> 00:59:55.739 you're walking in the purpose In your life, you're 00:59:55.739 --> 00:59:57.659 walking the purpose of your life. Purpose requires 00:59:57.659 --> 01:00:00.460 preparation. Yes, within this stage of preparation, 01:00:00.820 --> 01:00:03.199 what we're doing right now, it gets quiet. It 01:00:03.199 --> 01:00:07.159 gets lonely. But we are in this situation right 01:00:07.159 --> 01:00:11.360 now because we're on a mission. I'm on a mission 01:00:11.360 --> 01:00:13.480 for something. I'm walking in my purpose for 01:00:13.480 --> 01:00:15.960 a reason. I got to make sure that I'm healed 01:00:15.960 --> 01:00:18.940 and I'm comfortable and I'm fully locked in and 01:00:18.940 --> 01:00:21.400 I'm ready for every challenge that comes in my 01:00:21.400 --> 01:00:24.139 way. I'm ready for change and I'm ready for everything 01:00:24.139 --> 01:00:27.699 that's coming with me having to be selfish, take 01:00:27.699 --> 01:00:30.739 control of what the hell I got going on and popping 01:00:30.739 --> 01:00:34.659 out when I am ready to be ready to pop out to 01:00:34.659 --> 01:00:39.119 show y 'all. It's all. In your court. The ball 01:00:39.119 --> 01:00:41.920 is in your court. You're going to do it like 01:00:41.920 --> 01:00:45.519 Brutus. Just do it like Nike. It's all in your 01:00:45.519 --> 01:00:48.380 court. But you have to realize that you don't 01:00:48.380 --> 01:00:51.519 need to broadcast it to everyone because sometimes 01:00:51.519 --> 01:00:53.739 people are going to bring on your downfall, my 01:00:53.739 --> 01:00:57.320 friend. And we don't need that. We don't need 01:00:57.320 --> 01:01:00.360 that. We need to be fully loaded, locked and 01:01:00.360 --> 01:01:02.280 loaded with positivity as much as possible because 01:01:02.280 --> 01:01:06.780 if not, we're going back to... How things were 01:01:06.780 --> 01:01:11.480 the year before that. Okay? So now, where does 01:01:11.480 --> 01:01:14.440 preparation show up most? Preparation shows up 01:01:14.440 --> 01:01:17.559 in daily habits that builds discipline and consistency, 01:01:17.920 --> 01:01:21.500 personal growth routines such as learning, practicing, 01:01:21.619 --> 01:01:27.159 or studying. Professional development and skill 01:01:27.159 --> 01:01:30.380 building, emotional growth and self -awareness, 01:01:30.519 --> 01:01:33.280 spiritual reflections and mindset development, 01:01:33.639 --> 01:01:37.090 moments where... Patience is required before 01:01:37.090 --> 01:01:41.969 opportunities of peer approach. Preparation often 01:01:41.969 --> 01:01:45.809 happens in the background and in the small choices 01:01:45.809 --> 01:01:49.090 that don't feel exciting but create long -term 01:01:49.090 --> 01:01:52.889 results. It shows up in what you do consistently, 01:01:52.969 --> 01:02:00.269 not just opportunity and occasionally. Now let's 01:02:00.269 --> 01:02:02.880 break this down. And our daily habits that builds 01:02:02.880 --> 01:02:05.420 the discipline and consistency preparation is 01:02:05.420 --> 01:02:09.920 there. You may not think it's there, but it's 01:02:09.920 --> 01:02:13.460 there. Within our personal growth routines. such 01:02:13.460 --> 01:02:16.420 as learning, practicing, or studying. Preparation 01:02:16.420 --> 01:02:18.739 is there. We're learning something new every 01:02:18.739 --> 01:02:21.440 day. We're challenging ourselves every day. Things 01:02:21.440 --> 01:02:24.039 change, people change. We're studying what's 01:02:24.039 --> 01:02:26.079 for us, what's not for us. We're practicing what 01:02:26.079 --> 01:02:28.579 is for us, what's not for us, as well as we're 01:02:28.579 --> 01:02:30.880 learning what we can take, what we cannot take. 01:02:31.019 --> 01:02:34.000 So learning and experience. Professional development 01:02:34.000 --> 01:02:36.619 and skill building. In your career, you're learning. 01:02:36.739 --> 01:02:38.340 You know, you come with the requirements, but 01:02:38.340 --> 01:02:40.320 you still have to learn some more stuff in the 01:02:40.320 --> 01:02:43.579 process of the requirements. As well as your 01:02:43.579 --> 01:02:46.500 emotional growth and awareness. When preparation 01:02:46.500 --> 01:02:50.179 is impacted with walking in your purpose, you're 01:02:50.179 --> 01:02:52.079 learning how you can deal with your emotions. 01:02:52.119 --> 01:02:55.000 And you're seeing what is growing for you. You're 01:02:55.000 --> 01:02:57.820 reducing all the negativity and things in your 01:02:57.820 --> 01:02:59.940 life. And you're setting the key tone for the 01:02:59.940 --> 01:03:02.920 awareness for yourself. What you can take, what 01:03:02.920 --> 01:03:05.400 you cannot take. Once again, we're done being 01:03:05.400 --> 01:03:07.739 stagnant. I'm walking in my purpose. You're walking 01:03:07.739 --> 01:03:11.269 in your purpose, friend. We are here to... Get 01:03:11.269 --> 01:03:13.869 it together. We are not here for a good time. 01:03:14.789 --> 01:03:17.389 We're here for a long time of getting things 01:03:17.389 --> 01:03:19.190 done. When we having fun, you know, I'm here 01:03:19.190 --> 01:03:22.349 for a good time, my long time. Because once, 01:03:22.389 --> 01:03:24.150 you know, I'm giving myself a break, but once 01:03:24.150 --> 01:03:26.449 it's time to lock back in again, I'm locked in. 01:03:26.730 --> 01:03:30.369 Y 'all going to have this. Okay? Y 'all going 01:03:30.369 --> 01:03:33.039 to have that. especially in the spiritual reflections 01:03:33.039 --> 01:03:36.139 and mindset development. Spirits tell you a lot 01:03:36.139 --> 01:03:39.820 of things, you know, videos and things that I 01:03:39.820 --> 01:03:41.920 see as TikTok and maybe you guys see it too. 01:03:41.980 --> 01:03:45.280 It speaks value and it pops up for a reason, 01:03:45.320 --> 01:03:48.699 as well as the mindset development. You are developing 01:03:48.699 --> 01:03:53.159 things in your mind every day. And I can be the 01:03:53.159 --> 01:03:56.699 one to tell you this right now. It's the times 01:03:56.699 --> 01:03:59.820 where I had to catch myself. Because I felt like 01:03:59.820 --> 01:04:01.480 I was training my mind, you know, to be on the 01:04:01.480 --> 01:04:02.880 outside to be good. But in my mind, I was like, 01:04:02.940 --> 01:04:07.599 I will raise hell up in this mother. You know? 01:04:07.679 --> 01:04:10.539 But I had to change myself in moments where practice 01:04:10.539 --> 01:04:13.559 is required before the opportunities are approached. 01:04:14.519 --> 01:04:17.039 I got to practice these things. I had to practice 01:04:17.039 --> 01:04:21.000 patience and stop lacking in it. Because, you 01:04:21.000 --> 01:04:24.559 know, sometimes we lose patience when we don't 01:04:24.559 --> 01:04:27.590 learn in it. because it also helps you understand 01:04:27.590 --> 01:04:30.230 that preparation it does happen in the background 01:04:30.230 --> 01:04:32.829 but i want you to understand that in them small 01:04:32.829 --> 01:04:36.090 choices that don't feel excited like them small 01:04:36.090 --> 01:04:38.809 wins don't feel excited they're helping us create 01:04:38.809 --> 01:04:42.289 long -term results some long -term goals in our 01:04:42.289 --> 01:04:44.610 life and it's helping us in so many ways because 01:04:44.610 --> 01:04:47.570 y 'all when i tell y 'all some things have happened 01:04:47.570 --> 01:04:51.320 and it was short But it was small, but it helped 01:04:51.320 --> 01:04:54.159 me in the long run to understand who I am and 01:04:54.159 --> 01:04:56.699 what's for me. It helped understand what's for 01:04:56.699 --> 01:04:58.840 E and what's not for E and why is this going 01:04:58.840 --> 01:05:01.260 to be for E, as well as for you, my friend. This 01:05:01.260 --> 01:05:03.139 may not be for you. This is for you, but it's 01:05:03.139 --> 01:05:05.320 also helping you understand that this small goal 01:05:05.320 --> 01:05:09.880 is a big win. Like my therapist, shout out to 01:05:09.880 --> 01:05:11.380 her. She helped me understand something, too, 01:05:11.480 --> 01:05:13.800 to do. The win of the day, regardless if it's 01:05:13.800 --> 01:05:17.039 big or small. Charge them small wins, though. 01:05:17.960 --> 01:05:20.320 Charge the small wins because them small wins 01:05:20.320 --> 01:05:24.019 are helping you in them long -term goals. And 01:05:24.019 --> 01:05:28.119 granted, this started Friday for me. And my first 01:05:28.119 --> 01:05:30.119 one, I'm going to say the small win for me was 01:05:30.119 --> 01:05:33.539 me being able to advocate for myself. You know, 01:05:33.559 --> 01:05:36.440 we advocate every day. But when you advocate 01:05:36.440 --> 01:05:38.960 for yourself on things you've been going through 01:05:38.960 --> 01:05:40.900 or whatever, and you sit there and be able to 01:05:40.900 --> 01:05:44.199 have that vulnerability moment and stuff, that's 01:05:44.199 --> 01:05:45.739 helping you understand you're walking in your 01:05:45.739 --> 01:05:48.019 purpose and you're comfortable with it. And you're 01:05:48.019 --> 01:05:50.619 being able to say what's for you, what's not 01:05:50.619 --> 01:05:52.300 for you, what you can take, what you cannot take. 01:05:52.840 --> 01:05:54.940 And I said that to my therapist, and she helped 01:05:54.940 --> 01:05:56.860 me understand that, hey, you do got a lot on 01:05:56.860 --> 01:05:59.539 your plate. We all do. But I want you to still 01:05:59.539 --> 01:06:02.139 find joy in the morning. Because I said I haven't 01:06:02.139 --> 01:06:04.619 had no good days. Since what I've been going 01:06:04.619 --> 01:06:07.320 through, grief and all that, it's hard to find 01:06:07.320 --> 01:06:10.079 happy days. When you still got to wake up every 01:06:10.079 --> 01:06:12.219 day in the morning and still got to go to work 01:06:12.219 --> 01:06:14.239 and go to school and things like that. It's hard 01:06:14.239 --> 01:06:19.639 as hell. But still find, still find joy within 01:06:19.639 --> 01:06:23.159 it. And I did. And I am. And I want you to understand 01:06:23.159 --> 01:06:25.420 that as you're walking in your purpose, purpose 01:06:25.420 --> 01:06:29.599 requires preparation. Find the joy. Even when 01:06:29.599 --> 01:06:31.579 you're on this journey of getting it together, 01:06:31.679 --> 01:06:33.960 riding around and getting it, still find the 01:06:33.960 --> 01:06:36.780 joy even when you haven't had no good days. Still 01:06:36.780 --> 01:06:39.199 find it. Because that also impacts with lastly, 01:06:39.480 --> 01:06:42.139 y 'all, we get into the end. Jeez, we get into 01:06:42.139 --> 01:06:45.559 the end. Why is this important? Why is walking 01:06:45.559 --> 01:06:49.880 in this purpose as the month of April equal to 01:06:49.880 --> 01:06:54.900 purpose requires preparation? Why does preparation 01:06:54.900 --> 01:06:58.500 matters for purpose? Because purpose without 01:06:58.500 --> 01:07:01.519 preparation can feel overwhelming and difficult 01:07:01.519 --> 01:07:04.820 to sustain. If you don't understand the purpose, 01:07:04.940 --> 01:07:08.400 the calling you have, you won't understand the 01:07:08.400 --> 01:07:12.019 preparation that equals the answers for why you 01:07:12.019 --> 01:07:16.199 are feeling the way you feel. Preparation ensures 01:07:16.199 --> 01:07:19.760 that you are not only given opportunities, but 01:07:19.760 --> 01:07:23.849 also able to manage them responsibly. that you 01:07:23.849 --> 01:07:27.889 are able to deal with what comes with it. All 01:07:27.889 --> 01:07:30.449 right, it's your purpose. My purpose is to call. 01:07:30.650 --> 01:07:32.969 Now you answer it. Are you ready to take on what 01:07:32.969 --> 01:07:35.210 comes with this calling that equals with this 01:07:35.210 --> 01:07:38.630 answer? Because many people focus on the outcome 01:07:38.630 --> 01:07:43.230 without respecting the purpose. They don't respect 01:07:43.230 --> 01:07:45.369 the purpose of what comes with it. It's like, 01:07:45.369 --> 01:07:47.449 you know, when you have something, I got it. 01:07:47.929 --> 01:07:51.369 Let's say a pet. and you know your parents your 01:07:51.369 --> 01:07:52.989 guardians whoever they give you a pet it's like 01:07:52.989 --> 01:07:56.730 it's your responsibility okay it's a pretty pretty 01:07:56.730 --> 01:08:00.010 doggy pretty puppy pretty pretty bunny pretty 01:08:00.010 --> 01:08:03.530 kitty cat all that but are you prepared to take 01:08:03.530 --> 01:08:07.949 on the responsibility for this are you focused 01:08:07.949 --> 01:08:12.269 on the outcome without respect you know respecting 01:08:12.269 --> 01:08:14.550 the process are you able to respect the process 01:08:14.550 --> 01:08:17.630 of what you had for your duty But the process 01:08:17.630 --> 01:08:19.689 also builds the strength that's needed to carry 01:08:19.689 --> 01:08:22.409 success. For example, getting a degree. Okay. 01:08:22.470 --> 01:08:24.729 You call it. You want to be whatever you want. 01:08:24.750 --> 01:08:26.949 You call it for. All right. You got everything. 01:08:27.430 --> 01:08:31.670 You accept it. And the university, the program. 01:08:31.890 --> 01:08:35.989 Okay. Now. Are you able to manage the responsibilities 01:08:35.989 --> 01:08:37.829 that come with it? Because, you know, many people 01:08:37.829 --> 01:08:40.170 focus on the outcome without respecting the process 01:08:40.170 --> 01:08:42.130 that comes with it. Are you ready for them long 01:08:42.130 --> 01:08:45.050 nights? Are you ready to give up going out every 01:08:45.050 --> 01:08:47.609 weekend? Are you ready to prepare for an internship 01:08:47.609 --> 01:08:51.470 if it requires? Are you ready for this? Because 01:08:51.470 --> 01:08:54.029 this is going to make or break you, but it's 01:08:54.029 --> 01:08:56.350 the purpose that builds the person's strength 01:08:56.350 --> 01:09:01.930 and needs to carry success with impacting, with 01:09:01.930 --> 01:09:05.010 walking the purpose. Because preparation matters 01:09:05.010 --> 01:09:09.810 because growth happens before realization. The 01:09:09.810 --> 01:09:14.489 answers. It's allow individuals to develop resentment, 01:09:14.850 --> 01:09:17.329 patience, and confidence before stepping into 01:09:17.329 --> 01:09:21.350 a larger responsibility. Purpose equals the calling. 01:09:21.710 --> 01:09:24.210 Preparation is the answer. But you answer the 01:09:24.210 --> 01:09:26.329 phone, but now are you ready for the second and 01:09:26.329 --> 01:09:28.430 third meetings that may be able to come for this? 01:09:28.890 --> 01:09:31.470 Because while preparation most of the time is 01:09:31.470 --> 01:09:35.710 ignored, purpose may feel stressed out or creates 01:09:35.710 --> 01:09:38.489 chaos if you're not ready to understand it all 01:09:38.489 --> 01:09:41.350 because when preparation is embraced purpose 01:09:41.350 --> 01:09:45.210 feels intentional and manageable when you are 01:09:45.210 --> 01:09:47.750 like you know i'm able i got it this is for you 01:09:47.750 --> 01:09:51.489 because separating readiness from perfection 01:09:51.489 --> 01:09:55.310 is also important we gotta stop putting Perfection 01:09:55.310 --> 01:09:57.529 in it. Perfection in the mirror. We got to stop 01:09:57.529 --> 01:09:59.569 that sometimes when we're walking in a purpose. 01:10:00.069 --> 01:10:01.649 Everything is not going to be glitter and gold. 01:10:01.869 --> 01:10:04.609 It's not going to be shiny. Sometimes we're not 01:10:04.609 --> 01:10:08.569 going to be shiners. We got to be able to deal 01:10:08.569 --> 01:10:11.989 with these things. We got to be able to because 01:10:11.989 --> 01:10:15.529 you do not need to feel perfect. You need to 01:10:15.529 --> 01:10:19.529 be prepared to feel enough. You know, we don't 01:10:19.529 --> 01:10:21.810 need to always feel perfect, but we need to be 01:10:21.810 --> 01:10:25.000 prepared to feel enough. That right there is 01:10:25.000 --> 01:10:27.859 the equal to the discipline minus the motivation. 01:10:29.020 --> 01:10:31.319 Enough for us to grow through these experiences. 01:10:31.520 --> 01:10:35.119 So as you're walking in, your purpose, my friend, 01:10:35.140 --> 01:10:40.699 in this second semester, before the second quarter, 01:10:40.840 --> 01:10:43.619 before we enter the second semester, be mindful 01:10:43.619 --> 01:10:47.119 that you do not need to feel perfect, but you 01:10:47.119 --> 01:10:52.050 need to prepare enough to grow. Because sometimes 01:10:52.050 --> 01:10:54.569 we're not going to be what we are in the mood 01:10:54.569 --> 01:10:56.909 to be. No, we got to be able to take these things 01:10:56.909 --> 01:10:59.930 one step and one day at a time. As we're walking 01:10:59.930 --> 01:11:02.430 in our purpose, purpose requires the preparation 01:11:02.430 --> 01:11:06.369 and understanding. Okay, this is for me. Okay. 01:11:07.069 --> 01:11:09.890 So yes, going back to now, the call of the week 01:11:09.890 --> 01:11:14.069 slash today. Purpose calls, but preparation answers. 01:11:14.329 --> 01:11:17.260 This is meaning overall, like I said. You may 01:11:17.260 --> 01:11:20.460 feel ready. You may not feel ready, but preparation 01:11:20.460 --> 01:11:24.500 is already getting you there. You may not feel 01:11:24.500 --> 01:11:27.119 like it's there, but the preparation is getting 01:11:27.119 --> 01:11:29.840 you there. The purpose equals purpose calls. 01:11:30.359 --> 01:11:32.739 You know, purpose is the call, but preparation 01:11:32.739 --> 01:11:36.340 is the answer. It has the answers for you. You 01:11:36.340 --> 01:11:39.079 may not feel ready, but preparation is already 01:11:39.079 --> 01:11:41.760 getting you ready. It's getting you there. So 01:11:41.760 --> 01:11:44.699 get ready, get set, go. Take your foot off the 01:11:44.699 --> 01:11:47.079 brake and put it on the gas so you can take off. 01:11:48.619 --> 01:11:54.100 Okay? So, yeah. That was a lot. That was a mouthful, 01:11:54.119 --> 01:11:57.039 y 'all. That was a good mouthful of information 01:11:57.039 --> 01:12:00.760 to start off the first Wednesday of the month 01:12:00.760 --> 01:12:06.520 as well as to start off second quarter. Okay? 01:12:07.939 --> 01:12:11.949 I thank you guys for vibing in. Today, I want 01:12:11.949 --> 01:12:14.569 y 'all to remember that preparation is not a 01:12:14.569 --> 01:12:20.189 punishment. It is positioning. You're not behind 01:12:20.189 --> 01:12:23.010 simply because your journey requires growth. 01:12:23.090 --> 01:12:27.069 Hell nah. You're not unready simply because you're 01:12:27.069 --> 01:12:30.630 still learning. Absolutely not. Every step you 01:12:30.630 --> 01:12:34.189 take to grow is build the version of you that 01:12:34.189 --> 01:12:38.479 purpose requires. Preparation is happening even 01:12:38.479 --> 01:12:41.220 when you don't see immediate results. When it's 01:12:41.220 --> 01:12:43.920 slow, live in it.
