ourselves and you know we're not losing ourselves
as well as stepping into this new this new level
that we are in and this month we are going to
be tapping into we're walking in the purpose
we're walking in our purpose becoming who you
were called to be so April's theme is focused
on walking in purpose becoming who you were called
to be and I'm super excited to deep dive more
into this y 'all because like I said this year
is dedicated to self this whole 2026 is dedicated
to self this whole year Every month's theme is
going to be dedicated into yourself because we're
rebuilding, we're re -ramping, and also, too,
we want to see new results. We want to be in
this mindset of where we're comfortable, but
not only comfortable, but we are where we want
to be. As March was the next level becoming you,
the next level, this one is we're walking in
purpose, becoming who we were called to be. So
this month, we have five Wednesdays, so that
means four fives of the day, and one Wednesday.
this lesson okay so this month is going to be
very interesting because not only are we in the
second semester the second quarter excuse me
we're still in first semester but we're deep
diving more into understanding who are we becoming
why is this important and how is this going to
help shape us in this theme of april okay so

what today is going to be focused on as well
as to giving you an understanding on why is this
important for the month of April and things of
that nature because we are slowly but surely
and you know we're in spring and the weather
now is really giving spring is not giving winter
spring and all that like we're really in spring
now like we're feeling it because I'm gonna tell
y 'all something. I had to go to school Monday,
and in the morning, you know, it's sometimes
still cold. Y 'all came outside with Timberland
boots on and a long teddy bear jacket just for
me to come out the door, you know, because it
was cold. And I don't have time to be sick. If
you know, you know. We know. We want to be prepared.
Better safe than sorry. Safe than sorry, okay?
So then, y 'all, my class had ended at 12 o 'clock.
I get out the door. I had to go turn my books,
and I said, let me go get something to eat. The
moment I walked out that door, y 'all, I looked
at my phone. It said it's 60 degrees outside.
I wanted to have a fit. Because not only did
I have a teddy bear long cardigan trench coat
on looking, had leggings on, templates, and I
had a sweatshirt on underneath of it. Do you
know I was so mad because I was sweating? Just
sweating. as i'm walking to get everything together
i was like you know what it is it is i came straight
home y 'all and got myself together because i
was like it's it's no way but it's okay because
also too y 'all it was supposed to rain and stuff
so i was like okay let me be safe then sorry
but it's okay though you know now i'm prepared
now i'm prepared for what's to come and how it's
going to be okay but yes y 'all as we step into
april we're walking and purpose becoming who
you were called to be this week's reminder is
simple but it's powerful and that impacts with
today's as you can see bible today purpose requires
preparation so not everyone feels ready when
purpose called not everyone feels confident when
growth begins but preparation creates ready reading
this when writing excuse me when even when you
don't see it yet I want y 'all to keep that in
mind. Preparation scratches you. Preparation
strengthens you. And preparation polishes you
as well as positions you into where you want
to be as we are in this theme of walking in the
purpose. We're walking in our purpose. So when
it comes to purpose, we also need preparation
along the way. And even when you feel unprepared,
growth is still working in your favor regardless
of how you may think. things may not be going
for you please remember that growth is still
in your favor and it's still going to help you
within this walking with purpose theme of april
so this week's challenge y 'all i am asking you
guys to ask yourself this what am i preparing
for in this season of my life what am i really
preparing for are you preparing for a new career
are you preparing to shaping yourself differently
mentally physically emotionally spiritually Am
I ready to move? Am I ready to go back to school?
These type of things, like what are you preparing
for in your life in this season? This is second
quarter. What are we preparing for in the second
quarter while we're still in first semester?
What are you preparing for? I want you guys to
choose one area this week to intentionally prepare
in, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, or physically,
as well as professionally and personally. whether
it's learning something new practicing consistency
organizing your time or stepping outside your
comfort zone commit to growth even if readiness
feels away like it feels far away i want you
guys to take that leap of faith as we are stepping
walking into our purpose for this theme of april
i want you guys to step in your prime step in
it you know stop being afraid take it just do
it just do it just because and don't think twice
about it because those starts y 'all be the best
ones that happen i tell you not it regardless
it's like you shoot me a shot on a basketball
court stuff like that just do it just to do it
and just to see how it goes regardless if it
goes in or not just be prepared for you to do
it do it like brutus okay so yes y 'all before

march 27th at 3 30 p .m eastern time excuse me
so here's a little 401 on that i might switch
vibing out with guests online for a little bit

it's hard for people to go places in person,
such as in the studio. Granted, I get it. I get
it. And that's why the Internet is such a nice
thing, too, because not only do you have to be,
you know, in the city to get one, you could be

vibe out. Come let me vibe out with you. So as
you guys know for that, now they're open. vibing

open up to three guests so be four of us in a
group it's open it's open come on let's vibe
out come on let's vibe out because as always
bob that with guests is a space that is welcome
to everyone to speak on real life conversations
create an impact as well as everybody's story
is unique and sometimes it takes a lot out of
a person to speak in front of a mic or camera
whatever just to tell people in the world who
knows who's listening something so deep but little
do they know is helping someone in return okay
so if you know if you know someone you or you
know someone tell a friend tell a friend come
on and vibe out with yes come on be a guest so
we can vibe out together get to know a little
bit about each other and you don't know and see
what type of impact you put on the community
to excuse me the community because you never
know how much you can help someone from up close
or from afar okay okay and that's also y 'all
those forms are also in the link tree everything
that has vibing out with on there please fill
out vibe it out with guest form vibing out with
guest agreement and also fill out the calendar

Wednesday April 1st 2026 happy April Fool's Day
y 'all I hope y 'all probably got some jokes
out on people you know got the good little April
Fool's jokes you know get them out there whatever
man I feel like I tell my students sometimes
every day I feel like y 'all giving me a joke
so because sometimes they always get on my most
of the time they always get on my nerves and
I'm so glad they on spring break because You
know like how Miley Cyrus says a party every
day for her. Yeah, it's always a joke was getting
thrown to me every day, but Hey, those jokes
be the best ones cuz sometimes y 'all when you
having a bad day and I'm still just coming to
play with they mess I'd be like, you know what
I falls right into the trap It's like what they
said you rage baiting, but I'm gonna tell you
they think make my day And I'm so glad they don't
break cuz we need a week another week from each
other just for a little bit until i leave y 'all
i'm afraid to leave them but they gotta fly and
i got faith in them i'ma still make sure they're
good from a distance but they gotta fly from
the nest now but yeah y 'all so today like i
mentioned today's five of the day episode 149
is focused on purpose requires preparation So
this episode sets the tone for the entire month
as the theme, like I mentioned, the theme for
this month is we're walking in purpose. We're
walking in our purpose. We're walking in purpose,
becoming who you were called to be. So this.
But today sets the tone for the entire month.
So we're talking about preparation, the quiet
work that happens before purpose fulfills, reveals
itself. Many people wait until they feel ready,
but readiness is often created through growth,
discipline, and consistency. All right. So in
this episode, we will cover why purpose requires
preparation before opportunities, understanding
that growth happens before confidence does so.
big one letting go of the idea that you must
feel ready first because sometimes we don't feel
ready but if we feel like this is going to make
or break us let's do it like i said just do it
like nike we're going to shoot our shot because
we're going to do it because we wanted to and
don't have we don't want to feel it we don't
want to be in our feelings and saying should
have could have would have moments no just do
it like nike just do it we're gonna do this like
brutus Building habits that supports long -term
purpose and trusting the process even when progress
feels slow. Okay? So this episode is a reminder
that growth prepares you for what purpose requires.
Okay? So you guys are tuned in for a powerful,
encouraging conversation designed to help you
trust your preparation season. Okay? Alrighty,
guys. So without further ado, I want you guys
to sit back, relax, and enjoy hearing my voice.
If you're new here, welcome, welcome, welcome.
For the ones that's not new to this, but true
to this, y 'all already know what's going on.
So once again, y 'all, we about to get into it.
I want you to sit back, relax, and enjoy hearing
my voice because every vibe of the day is something
special. Okay? So I want you guys to turn me
up on your speakers, your PCs, your laptops,
your monitors, cell phones, iPads, whichever
way you listen or watch me. Turn me up because
as always, once again, every vibe of the day
is something special. Okay? So if you're new
here, we break down the vibe of the day with
saying the title again, the vibe of the day again,
break it down into the definition of five W's,
the quote of the day. slash the week and we do
a thank you now i do a thank you for vibing in
with me to give you a little bit more insight
on why is this important and how this will help
you in the future okay so let's get into it let
me turn my fan off y 'all because i was burning
up i don't know why but i was burning up real
bad real real bad But I'm going to say it again.
We have reached 149 episodes. And today's vibe
of the day is purpose requires preparation. So
before we get into it, I want you guys to think
to yourself, what does purpose requires preparation
mean to you? What does purpose mean? But what
does preparation mean? What does those things
mean to y 'all as I take a sip of my water? Like,
what does that mean? What does it really mean
to be walking in my purpose? But as I'm walking
in my purpose, why is preparation required? If
that makes sense. Okay. Well, let's get into
it. What does purpose requires preparation really
mean? Well, purpose requires preparation means
understanding that stepping into your purpose
is not something that happens instantly. It's
something you grow into. Now. i have now if you're
new here broken down like after i read it i break
it down a little bit more for you guys and then
continue so the ogs kind of sort of kind of know
what i'm doing when i stop and pause but that's
what we do that's what we're doing now over here
so i'm gonna say it again for y 'all and then
i'll break it down for you what does that really
mean well just to help you understand a little
bit more so purpose requires preparation meaning
understanding that stepping into your purpose
is something that doesn't something that has
something stepping into your purpose is not something
that happens instantly it is something you grow
into so with that being said is y 'all your purpose
is something that doesn't happen instantly it's
not going to happen right away because You got
to find out what is your purpose? What is your
purpose for you to be doing what you're doing?
Why are you doing this? How is this going to
impact you? What areas of your life is this impacting
you? Because as we said for the theme of March,
we are walking into our purpose. So with that
being said is purpose doesn't come right away.
It doesn't come instantly because you have to
map out. What is your purpose? Purpose equals
what is your calling? What is the reason behind
this? What is the connection? What is the call?
Purpose equals the call. And preparation equals
the answer and the outcome of what it is. So
what this really mean is helping you understand
that purpose doesn't happen right away. You got
to understand what's your purpose. Like for me,
with going to school, being a podcaster slash
life coach. What was the purpose? And what's
the purpose do you want for people to understand
the preparation of the outcome of why is this
important to them? Going back to again, April's
theme is walking into the purpose. So we're walking
in this new chapter of our life, but what is
the purpose of it? What am I getting out of it?
What's the glory of it? Am I able to handle what
comes with it? Highs and lows, pros and cons.
Am I ready for this? Am I ready for this? Is
this my calling? What's the main purpose of this
situation? That also impacts with preparation
is the process of developing the discipline,
mindset, skills, patience, and characteristics
needed to handle what purpose requires. So going
back to what I said, as we're stepping into this
new chapter of our life, we are in the fourth
chapter of our life. For this year of 2026, 2026
theme is based on you, self, nothing else, nothing
more, nothing else. We are in this reshaping,
regrouping. We're walking in purpose. So we have
to understand is what is the purpose that requires
the preparation? So the purpose is for you to
understand why are you doing this? What's the
outcome? Purpose is the call. Preparation is
the answers. And the answer of it is going to
help you. Develop within the discipline, the
encouragement, all those good things that is
needed. Such as, you know, let's go, let's compare
purpose and preparation into words. Purpose is
the words. Preparation is the action. It's helping
you see now. Let's put your money where your
mouth is. Let's see what you're really about.
Because when it packs with preparation. like
we just said, like I just said, is developing
the discipline, mindset, skills, patience, and
characteristics and characters, excuse me, needed
to handle what purpose requires. Because purpose
is the calling. Our purpose is our calling and
we have to see what it's for. And now are we
ready for the preparation that equals to the
answer of what our calling is? hmm and they probably
like huh i never really thought about it me either
my friend but we here together not only am i
helping you but i'm also it's also helping me
to understand what does this really mean and
how is this going to help me in you as we walk
Within the theme of this month, walking into
our purpose in the second quarter while still
in the first semester. Because also, many people
wait until they feel confident or ready before
taking action. But readiness is usually built
through consistency, preparation, learning, and
personal growth. With that being said, going
back to, I want to say, back probably in March
when, you know, becoming the next level you.
We steady, tippy -toed on. We were not prepared
to do something unless we felt comfortable. Sometimes
we have to be in this mindset of where we got
to be uncomfortable to get comfortable. Going
back to, like I said, too, sometimes we got to
do it just like we just got to do it. Just like
Nike, do this like Brutus. Because the more and
more we wait for confidence to be developed,
it's not going to be there. It's like motivation,
discipline and motivation. Going back to that.
Motivation is temporary. It's temporary. You
got to put yourself out there. If you really,
really, really want it, you got to do it. Because
sometimes motivation is there for the moment.
It's not going to always be there. Like at times
it's hard for us, you know, it takes a minute
for us to get out the bed to do what we got to
do. But we have to keep in mind too, what's the
main goal of this? You know, what is the main
goal for this? Motivation is what's coming up.
I tell you, even everything we start in life,
we have the motivation. In the beginning, you're
here. In the middle, sometimes the motivation
is like, it's like a stat. Ooh, excuse me, y
'all. It's not stagnant, but it's like, like
a weight on the balance of scale, like the Libra
scale. It goes up, it goes down. It goes up,
it goes down. And sometimes towards the end,
That motivation may be different. And sometimes
every day you got to motivate yourself on a different
level. Affirmations got to come in. Some different
affirmations got to, you know, something got
to give to help the motivation. But it's temporary.
But the discipline is equal to the preparation
of it. As we train ourselves with the personal
growth of helping us learn that this is what
we want. I know my purpose is my calling. But
now the preparation is me answering and taking
that next step forward. Within what's my calling.
As I'm walking in my purpose. As I'm preparing
for what's to come with these preparations. I'm
here with it. I know what's for me. And I know
how this is going to go. But I got to keep this
in mind. I can't wait until I'm fully comfortable,
like I'm in a good mood to do it. Because I got
to do it, even when it's on my mind, I got to
get it out. That's me, y 'all, personally. If
something's on my mind over and over again, I
can't wait to do it. If it's consistently on
my mind, that's a sign right there. That little
voice in your head, intuition, third eye, whatever
you want to call it, it's not going to lie to
you. It knows what's for you. And it wants you
to take a leap on faith. That right there is
the faith for you. And there's been times where
y 'all be like, no, I'm not going to do it because
I'm not mentally there. But if that little voice
in my head is telling me, yeah, you are. You
dreamed about this. You talked about this. You
kept manifesting. You prayed on it. So why not
do it now and take it like a champ? Do it for
you. I was about to say do it for the team, y
'all, but I had to forget. I'm not doing it for
the team. I'm doing this for me. Okay? Because
that equals to this. Preparation teach you responsibility.
Before opportunities arrive, it strengthens your
foundation so that when doors open, you're capable
of sustaining what you receive. Like I said,
sometimes we got to stop waiting for I got to
be in a good mood for me to be able to do what
I got to do. No, because preparation teaches
you responsibility before opportunities arrive.
It's helping you mentally deal with it. And one
thing we need to understand too, rejection is
going to happen. In our personal lives, professional
lives, every area of our lives, it's going to
come. Rejection is going to come. We just have
to understand how to take it. And this is where
preparation comes in to help us. That is teaching
us responsibility even before the opportunity
arrives. If it's good or bad or not, it's teaching
us what's for us. With on top of it, strengthening
our foundation, your foundation, so that what
does open? when the doors open take it jump in
it flip in it leap in it do it get in that door
as soon as that door open i want you to go straight
forward my friend because you're walking in your
purpose that right there is helping you walk
in your purpose the preparation is helping you
understand that this is for you this is your
calling because you're capable of sustaining
what you receive and you don't gotta wait till
you in a good mood you don't have to wait till
you on a thousand cloud nine to get it no it
can come at you even when you down bad my friend
and it shows you even when you down and out it's
helping you understand you know what i got faith
in myself so i need to do this even when you
don't have a good day still walk in the purpose
of saying good things for yourself and manifesting
because like i said bad times don't last forever
they don't and once you're at the bottom all
you want to do is go to the top so keep going
and don't fumble yourself Take it one day at
a time because purpose is not just what you're
called to do. Like I said, purpose is your call.
Preparation is the answer. But preparation is
not just about what you're called to do. It's
about becoming the person you are carrying the
responsibility that comes with. As you're walking
in your purpose, the purpose is the calling.
Like I said, like I said, purpose equals call.
Preparation is the answer. So you have the calling.
You have it. And now walk into that preparation
with your head held high, regardless if you're
in a good mood or not. My friend, because this
is for you, it's not going to. leave you out
in the dust no he said you know what it's your
time now so come here don't be afraid step in
it don't wait until you feel like you want to
file for you no my friend i want you going there
even when you feel like you know what i don't
know and once you get in there thank yourself
thank the person you believe in thank it because
this is for you this is for you True preparation
helps you grow into your purpose rather than
rushing it into unpreparingness. Purpose is the
calling. Preparation is the answer. So true preparation,
meaning the answer, helps you grow into your
purpose rather than rushing it. So the true answer
is helping you grow into your calling rather
than you rushing into it when you're unprepared.
When you're not ready for that call, don't rush
it. Keep going. Take your time slow and steady.
So when it's time for you to take that call and
you answer it and you put it in a word, it's
going to do what it's going to do for you, my
friend. I'm telling you. I'm walking right with
you. If you don't think so, we all got a story
to tell. We all got different stories. And this
is why this is important for you. Because you
are called to do something great in your life.
You just have to understand that you have to
walk in your purpose. And that's why this vibe
of the day started off the month of April with
walking in your purpose, becoming who you are,
because this is what is for you. This is your
calling. I have to help you understand what is
the main cause and the main reason of walking
in your purpose. What is it? what is it with
me what is it why is purpose requires preparation
because a call requires an answer a call requires
an answer and you have to be able to answer that
phone when it picks up answer the message whatever
the case may be you have to be willing to take
it for yourself and not for the team because
this is your journey like i said this year 2026
is all about you you you you you you no one else
you're still in the And the car, the climax,
the boat, whatever you want to prefer as you're
in a setting where you're doing for you. You're
taking control when it needs to be time to take
control. You're popping out when you want to
pop out and you're being selfish. And right now
we're being extra selfish as we are entering
second quarter before the first semester comes
to an end. I'm taking control of what matters
to me. Yes, I'm going to be selfish because this
is what I am waiting for. I'm wanting to. Step
into my preparation. I want my answers, but I
have to make sure my purpose equals the calling
is there and it's set before I can do that. So
I got to take control. I got to be selfish and
I got to pop out when it's necessary for me.
Vice versa for you, my friend. Take it one day
at a time because as you're walking into your
purpose, this is your calling for you to help
you understand that you are walking forward to
greatness. This is your calling. This is for
any individual that's going through these things.
That's having this hard time. You know, I'm walking
in my purpose. Where do I start? Purpose equals
the call. Preparation is the answer. So now let
me help you break it down on why is this important
for you. All right. So now I touched base on
this a little bit, but we're going to deep dive
a little bit some more. So who is impacted? Who
needs this message the most? Like I said, this
is for anyone that is having a hard time of understanding
what their purpose is. What is the preparation?
This is your calling. You're preparing for something
that you've been waiting for. You're destined
for greatness, my friend. This is for you. If
you a friend, tell a friend, whatever. This is
for you. Listen closely. This message is for
individuals who feel called. to something greater
right but questions rather are they ready now
let's break this down once again this message
is for individuals who feels called to something
greater but questions whether they're ready first
and foremost we always have this little niche
by ourselves like we question ourselves like
are we ready am i really ready Am I ready to
put myself on the, risk my, you know, feelings
and all this? Put it on the line. Put it on the
floor, whatever you want to call it. Am I ready
to really do this? Well, my friend, I'm going
to tell you this. Even if you think you're not
ready, I think you are. I don't even think, I
know you are. I want you to change that think
until you know. Going back to purpose equals
the call and the preparation is your answer.
When you speak positivity into your life, your
purpose equals the calling is going to be more
rewarding, but more comfortable for you as you
step into the preparation to answer and take
it with a grain of salt. We break it down for
you. We all go through moments in our life where
we do things, you know, we do it and we're already
a nervous wreck. And sometimes the answers or
the results we get, it feel like it wasn't fair
per. professionally because we just did it just
to do it like we did it like brutus we wasn't
prepared but sometimes some people could do it
off the dome and some people had to be prepared
sometimes you gotta just say you know what let
me try it to see first before i say i'm not doing
it because you gotta put yourself out there to
try new things before you back out of it it's
like shooting your shot with whatever you want
in your life whatever it is whoever it is you
gotta see it first before you just You know,
talk negative to yourself about, oh, this ain't
for me. This not going to happen. No. So I want
you to know this. If you feel like something
is, you know, it's that you're not ready, who
feels called, the message is for the individuals
who feels called to something greater, but the
question is whether they're ready. My friend,
you're ready. Because I'm going to tell you something.
I did some things I thought I was not ready for.
And let me tell you. When I took a leap of faith,
you know, set the affirmations to myself, you
know, the motivation, you know, a little motivation
to get me a long way. But going back to the discipline
to understand, like, what is the reason for it,
the consistency, I had to think what mattered
most. So I had to say, you know, what's the requirements
of this? What's the real requirements for this?
The purpose that's going to lie with my preparation.
And I ain't going to lie to you. it has helped
me some was like uh hell i should have left this
thing a damn long i should let that should have
said damn this and i'm gonna leave that alone
but we learned from it but i want you to be able
to understand that stop questioning yourself
about are you ready for it and just put the pedal
to the metal You put your foot on the gas and
you take off. Put your foot off that brake and
put it on the gas. This is what this is. Your
purpose equals your calling. And the preparation
is the answers. So you know you're calling. You're
preparing for that call. Now the call is here.
Now you answer it and take on what is to come
after that call. Do it. Because with that being
said, like I just mentioned too. It speaks to
people who feel pressure to move quickly but
are still learning, growing, and building confidence
behind the scenes. Trust me, it's going to all
work out. But you have to be able to take on
this leap of faith. You have to be able to prepare
for this discipline that you have to have for
yourself. Going back to, yes, sometimes you have
to lay low. You got to lay low. pop out when
you need to hide behind the scenes take control
of things that's needed for you and be selfish
when it's something that you are really on the
go for when it's impacting your life rather is
all areas of your life two three areas one whatever
do what's for you my friend because you know
what's for you and it's people on the outside
like me is here to cheer you on because you can
do this but you have to have the faith as much
as we have mainly i have the faith in you you
got to be ready to prepare to answer that phone
you have the calling but you got to be able to
answer it when preparation is calling or knocking
you got to be able to answer it because you know
the purpose or you have fully understood the
purpose now you got to take the preparation that
comes with it and live on it hold it and take
it and take it okay It is especially meaningful
for those who feel discouraged because their
progress feels slower or unseen. I want to say
this because I've been through both ends of the
journey. When it's slow, take advantage of it
and learn on it, but most definitely enjoy it.
Slow and steady wins the race for sure. When
you rush it, that, excuse my French y 'all, that
shit is going to hurt you more than ever. it's
going to hurt you more than ever because when
you rush it you know it's like sometimes we put
a timeline on ourselves and the things that we
do in life trust me I've had timelines on stuff
that I still to this day is like I'm glad I pushed
it because if I would have rushed it excuse my
French again y 'all I haven't said that in a
minute excuse my French y 'all know I just go
straight and say the word if I rushed the shit
I would have enjoyed it And I would have looked
back like I did it just to get it over with.
And you know, when you're in this purpose of
understanding your purpose with requiring the
preparation, enjoy it. Enjoy the ups, the downs,
the good, the bad, bad times, the good times.
Enjoy it. Because if you don't, it's not helping
you understand who you are as well as it's not
seeing how you can handle pressure. Do you fold
under pressure? Yes, we're going to fold under
pressure. But pressure breaks pipes. and you
learn about yourself what you can and cannot
take okay so when it feels slow that's okay because
it's showing right now you're getting to it but
i want you to live in it live in it take heat
of it don't forget it maneuver in it sizzle it
you know let it let it burn they let it soak
in you know like a little bit of seasoning Now,
unseen, sometimes, not sometimes, most times,
you want to leave a mystery in your life. You
don't need everybody and their mama in your business.
You don't need everybody to know what your purpose
or your call is. You don't need everybody to
know the preparation for your answers. No, that
goes into the popping out when you want to pop
out. You can do something right now. You don't
got to broadcast it to the world right away.
Hell no. You can wait till three months from
now, two, three weeks, two days, whatever. Enjoy
the moment. Live in the moment. Live in it. Because
your purpose has helped you equal to the preparation
that you have been manifesting and praying for.
The purpose equals the call and the preparation
is the answer. You got it. You enjoyed it. You're
living in it. You don't got to tell everyone
right away. Because I've learned this too, y
'all. When good things happen, even bad things,
the moment it happens, murder in it. Let the
feelings hit you. living it season it then you
share it to the people because you want to give
yourself time for your stuff to be like I it
hit me because sometimes too when you when stuff
happens for us we don't it don't hit us very
well because I've learned too that you know good
things happen but I'm like it really hit me that
it's good because I was just so excited to tell
every you know tell my mama and everybody but
it's like hmm let me enjoy this first before
I tell everybody and my mama because If not,
you know, someone's always going to try to dim
your light. But I want you to know that no one
can dim it unless you allow them to dim it. Like
no one can control anything unless you let them
control it. You let them be the puppet master
for you. And right now, when you're in this theme,
this chapter of our life, we're walking in the
purpose. This season, we're walking in purpose.
We're not going to let nobody tell us and tell
us and dictate us. No, hell no. We're doing what's
for us. And why is this for us and things of
that nature? Because this message also supports
individuals who compare their journeys to others
and feel behind. Going back to the puppet master
and all that stuff. Don't ever compare your journey
to anyone else or feel behind because we don't
know how their stuff is and you don't know how
their stuff is. And one thing people fail to
realize and look at too as a source is social
media all the time. Social media, you could be
anybody and do. anything and whatever y 'all
my microphone just keep falling because my hand
motions like this is crazy but y 'all hear me
though but don't keep looking at somebody's progress
and then measuring why questioning yourself about
your progress no sometimes well not sometimes
it's just not your time we could be in the same
race but it's not my time to win first place
it may not be your time to win first place you
know sometimes we have to be mindful of i can't
keep looking at this person and wondering why
i feel behind they're ahead of me because of
how they doing no it's just that right now it's
not for you and it's okay because regardless
you're going to get it regardless you're going
to be riding around and getting it my friend
trust me regardless of how you feel like dang
he or she had to be like what the hell am i doing
wrong nothing It's just not for you. It doesn't
make you slower. It doesn't make you less of
a person. No, it's just that right now in your
life, they're not, you were not in their same
category with them. It's like we could start
a journey together. I could be ahead of you.
You may be behind me. It don't matter. Slow and
steady wins the race and some people's pace is
different. My pace may be different from yours
and your pace may be different from mine. It's
like everything in our life from getting a license,
getting a high school diploma, getting a degree,
shoot, getting a house, having a family. It takes
time. We have the purpose, you know, we got that
car, but right now my preparation ain't come
through like yours. It takes time. And I'm walking
in my purpose how I want it to be. I'm not waiting
on, I'm not, you know, comparing myself to anyone.
One thing about it, I'm going to give you your
flowers. Congratulations. I'm proud. I'm happy
for you. And I'm being sincere. Okay? And you
be sincere. Because once it's your time to get
it to my friend, trust me, you're going to feel
the same way. So don't keep, don't feel like
you're behind. And don't compare yourself to
others because everyone's, we're not the same.
We're not the same. We're not the same, boo.
We're not. Because like I say all the time, regardless
of what you got going on, I'm here. I'm proud
of you regardless how big or small it is. I'm
here and I'm proud of you because no one knows
how hard it was for you to do it and no one knows
how hard it is for you to deal with the things
that you're dealing with. So don't compare yourself
to nobody's journey and don't feel like you're
behind because you're not. If you got to start
over, whatever, sometimes do it and don't feel
like you're behind. Hell no. I used to feel like
that. I used to be like, damn, I'm behind. Because
when we keep putting times and limits on things,
that's when things messed up. That's when things
get messed up. Don't do it. Take it one day at
a time and enjoy it. And enjoy it. Because many
people see someone else walking in their purpose,
but don't see the preparation that happens beforehand.
Like I said, we all have different callings and
we all get different answers. We can't compare
ourselves because sometimes it's not going to,
it's not the same period. It won't have the same
outcome. Our journey, our stories will not be
the same. That's why you have to take a leap
of faith and keep going for you. Because anyone
who feels uncertain about their timing, ability,
or readiness can benefit from understanding that
preparation is not a delay, it's a development.
You know, we have the purpose, the calling. But
the answer to the call for us to receive it,
it takes time to develop. It takes time, but
it's coming. It's coming. While you're walking
in your purpose, it's coming. The preparation
is coming. Don't leave yourself out and don't
feel left out. It's coming. It's coming. Keep
in mind, it can come any time of the day, any
time, any place. it's going to come my friend
stop selling yourself short because those who
feel impatient overwhelmed or doubtful during
their growth process needs the remind this reminder
the most you got it take it one day at a time
Do not compare yourself to other people's journeys.
And do not feel like you're behind because you're
not. Slow and steady wins the race. You got it.
It's going to all work out in your favor. You
just have to believe in yourself and sometimes
leave a mystery on some things in your life because
everybody don't need to know what the hell going
on. I learned that too. Even social media. Cut
out today. Everybody don't need to know what's
going on. Sometimes, like Kendrick Lamar said,
you got to pop out and show people better than
you can tell them. And that'd be the best thing
ever. Because me breaking down my game plan,
shoot, you might end up stealing my damn stuff.
And I'll be there for you to do that. And I will
tell you, the first big thing that I kept on
a hush and it's helping me still evolve is this
podcast. I didn't tell a show. I just did it.
Everybody like, what? What made you? Ta -da!
I'm letting the work speak for itself. My purpose
was there. And here's the preparation, and it's
still going. And I'm still standing strong. Regardless
of what comes into my way, yes, I had to take
a little break for a minute. But I'm back. And
I'm not going to let nothing or anything stop
me. I want you to keep that in mind. Keep going.
Don't sell yourself short. Don't rush it. And
don't be impatient or overwhelmed. Trust me,
I had those feelings before. But you have to
remember, you got to take it one day at a time.
Because if not, it still ain't going to go right
if you keep rushing the process because the next
person podcasting their stuff. Let them have
their moments. Because when your moment comes,
my friend, oh, I'm telling you, you're going
to be turned up 10 times too. I'm here for it.
I'm manifesting it for you. And I know it's going
to happen because I'm praying with you. Take
it one day at a time and don't let nothing or
no one stop you. You're your biggest cheerleader,
your biggest everything. Keep going. Don't let
no one tear you down as you're walking in your
purpose. Don't let no one do that. And don't
you forget it. You got it. Take it one at a time.
Don't let nothing or nobody name on one day to
try you. because this is for you and it's all
going to work out in this purpose okay so what
is the benefit what happens when you embrace
preparation a lot of good comments before me
before i dig into it a lot of things are going
to help you understand your growth and also matter
of fact is you understanding yourself on a deeper
level that you probably didn't even know So when
embracing preparation, you begin to trust your
progress instead of rushing growth. Going back
to, like I said, you're learning yourself more.
You're learning, okay, if I take my time, you
know, take my time with it, slow down, let it
soak in like seasoning, I'm learning and I'm
growing in this area. You become more confident
because your skills, mindset, and discipline
improve over time. Confidence is a big one. As
we're walking in our purpose, we got to have
confidence. The confidence has to help you along
the way. You got to have confidence. Even when
things go wrong, still be able to walk around
with your head held high. Because the more and
more you have it down, people are going to run
over top of you. And I'll be damned for that
to happen to you or I. I'll be damned. So I want
you to walk around, you know. Even when things
go wrong, still walk around with your head held
high and don't let nothing or no one try to tear
you down because damn that. You know what you
did. You know what you're doing. You know what
you signed up for, all that. You're building
your confidence. It's not making you feel conceited.
Shoot, somebody think you conceited? Hey, you
got a reason. Remember I told you before. And
but most importantly too is helping you understand
your skills. What skills you have. how your mindset
is, as well as the discipline equals the responsibility,
but most of all, the goal, the creation, all
that you have set for yourself is improving over
time because preparation helps you reduce fear
because you feel more equal to handle challenges
when they arise. When you are able to have your
head held high, The discipline, the mindset,
and the skills come into play. It's helping you
reduce that fear. You know, you being able to
now, like, I'm shimmered in anything. Regardless
if I have the motivation or not, I'm able to
take this challenge with or without anyone by
my side. Because I'm able to do things. Even
when those challenges arrive, I'm able to still
be calm, keep my head up high, and take the results
how they're coming. Good or bad, I'm here for
it. I'm still going to be strong. Yes, we still
have our moments where it's like, damn, this
shit done did this to me. But we live and we
learn. That's that growth mindset. Because if
it was fixed, we'd be like, oh, fuck y 'all,
everything. I'm not, no. We growing. We living
and we learning. I'm walking in my purpose. I
know what's for me. I know what's not for me.
I know what I can take and what I can't take.
So we understanding ourselves more. Real bad.
because it's needed. It's growing. Most importantly,
preparation creates endurance. When challenges
approach, will appear and approach, and they
will, preparation gives you the strength to keep
going instead of giving up. Preparation is helping
you to understand that you had the purpose equals
the calling. Now is the answer. Are you willing
to take this? Are you willing to keep going or
not? But I think you can keep going. I don't
think, I know you can keep going because once
you build up the confidence to keep your head
held high, nothing or no one can stop you. When
you begin to understand that success is not just
about opportunities, it's about readiness to
sustain what comes next. You're able to understand
what is coming next. I'm here for it. Now let's
get into it. I got it. I just got to stay strong.
That's all. When it comes into when should someone
focus on preparation? Well, let me say this.
When you feel like things may be kind of, you
question yourself a little bit, but try to focus
on it every day. It may be helpful to focus on
preparation when you feel called to do more,
but don't feel. confident yet that right there
is testing you to see you know what i have faith
in you this has faith in you so why not take
a leap on that faith and do it as well as you're
learning new skills or stepping into unfamiliar
spaces for me y 'all for example a week ago to
the right two weeks ago i stepped into a room
full of social workers psychiatrists counselors
principals assistant principals Granted, all
I have is a BSW with these people. I'm in my
process of my MSW. So once I get that, I'll be
in the room with them. Y 'all, I'm learning new
skills there. And I was stepped into an unfamiliar
space. Trust me, granted, yes, someone is always
that one that's going to challenge you. And there
was one lady, she challenged me, y 'all. Ooh,
she challenged me so bad that the Baltimore Northeast
side of me was about to come out in them people's
establishment. But I said, you know what? I'm
surrounded by all these people that got higher
titles. And I'm the youngest one here. Because
the little joke they have at my internship is
they call me the youngest in charge. And I said,
you know what? I'm about to be right there with
y 'all. Granted, the principal and my supervisor
invited me here for a reason, to learn this.
And this is an unfamiliar space for me. But I'm
here. I'm focused on the preparation. Shoot,
I'm still at my calling error. But I answered
the phone today for this, so I could be there.
And that same person, y 'all, was still giving
me the... The ugly and the stank look. But look
at me now, baby. Huh. Look. I'm here. Huh. Don't
ever judge a book by its cover until you get
the chance to sit down and read the first pages
or so of the person or whatever. If you don't
like it, kindly put it back. This is what's wrong.
Sometimes we get to judging so fast instead of
You know, asking questions, get a little feel
of people. Yeah. So I know. Trust me. I know.
Also, too, when opportunities feel delayed and
frustrations begins to grow. Like I said, I have
a BSW. I'm in the MSW program. Opportunities
are coming left to right for me. But they feel
like they were delayed due to my level, you know,
your level of education and your experience.
And happy credits. Frustration did begin to grow
for me. But I had to step back and understand
that, you know, it comes in the journey. It's
a part of the journey. Some things are here for
you and some things are not. And you live and
you learn. That helped prepare, prepare, prepare,
prepare, prepare. It helped prepare me. That
preparation helped prepare me to understand rejection.
It helped me understand rejection in a professional
way. Personally, for me, personal rejection hit
it hard. Especially when you shoot your shot,
trying to shoot your shot at the man. That helped
me hard. It helped me. So when professionals
stepped in too, I was like, damn. This hit harder
too, but I'm glad I dealt with some personal
rejections for me to understand personal rejections
as well, professional rejections as well, as
well as you feel tempted to rush growth instead
of trusting the process. Once again, we've all
been there. I've done that. I got my first degree,
my associate's degree. I'm looking at my cat
right now on the wall. That experience gave me
hell. Some of the school during the pandemic.
Right then and there, that gave me hell. And
when, you know, pandemic rise, I went on campus,
it still gave me hell. Being around professors
that don't look like me, it still gave me hell
because they still looking down on me. And I
said this, I rushed the growth. I was like, hell,
give me my degree so I can go, excuse me, get
my BSW at a university where I belong. Granted,
not all professors had me that way. I still found
joy in it. But towards the end, I trust the process.
But when I came, you know, when the pandemic
lifted, I was in my sophomore year of college.
I was like, F this. I'm ready to get over with
so I can prepare to go to Morgan. And I ain't
got to worry about people looking at me like
I'm crazy. You know? We all been through it.
As well as you notice yourself comparing your
timeline to others. I did that too. We did that
too. I compared my timeline to sometimes my mama.
My mama went to school three times. And more
before. And I've compared. I've been like dang.
Mama had this at this age. I'm at this age. Had
to stop comparing. because her timeline was way
different from mine as well as mine is different
from hers. I had to stop comparing myself to
people and things that was hurting even more.
This one hurts even more. When you compare yourself
to other people, it hurts even more. So you got
to understand that it may be helpful to focus
on the preparation when these things happen,
such as... When you feel called to do more, but
you don't feel confident to do it, preparation
is here to help you. It's the key. It's the answer
to the command. When you're learning new skills
in unfamiliar spaces, like I said, your opportunity
feels delayed as frustrations begin. Remember
the preparation. As well as you feel tempted
to rush the growth instead of the progress, stressing
the progress, on top of you notice yourself comparing
your time to others. You feel uncertain about
your readiness but still feel pushed towards
growth. Remember, preparation is the key. It's
the answer. Keep reminding yourself, I know my
answer. I got to stop relying on everybody else's
because I don't know how they did theirs. I don't
know what they did. I got to focus on me, me,
myself, and I. You got to remember that. Because
preparation seasons are often quiet. meaning
you know everybody need to know even sometimes
i'm like dang it's a little it gets lonely but
they're necessary being alone is necessary when
you're in these areas of walking in your purpose
purpose requires the preparation you gotta be
in this chapter of your life sometimes alone
and i know it gets boring hell y 'all it gets
boring at night sometimes but when it feels good
outside you know and it's just you lounge around
it's like damn this is so lonely but you gotta
remember It's necessary because there are the
seasons where confidence is built and characters
is being strengthened. So sometimes you got to
be alone. You got to be your own best friend
to understand what's going on in your life. As
you're walking in this purpose, you got to understand
that it gets lonely. Yes, I get lonely. You get
lonely. We all get lonely. But preparation seasons
often are quiet. but they're necessary it's necessary
sometimes when you're in the zone of preparing
for whatever you have going on and walking in
your purpose you gotta be alone not everybody
needs to know what the hell's going on not everybody
needs to know what you're doing why are you doing
this everybody don't need to know all that no
you will see me when you see me and if a real
person in your life you know your reason understand
why you're not talking to them for a minute they
understand seasonal people be like oh that's
so fake and phony okay that ghost show you're
not for me and sometimes too your seasons will
turn into your reasons sometimes your reasons
will turn into seasons you'll see who's for you
and what's not for you but understand that when
you're walking in the purpose In your life, you're
walking the purpose of your life. Purpose requires
preparation. Yes, within this stage of preparation,
what we're doing right now, it gets quiet. It
gets lonely. But we are in this situation right
now because we're on a mission. I'm on a mission
for something. I'm walking in my purpose for
a reason. I got to make sure that I'm healed
and I'm comfortable and I'm fully locked in and
I'm ready for every challenge that comes in my
way. I'm ready for change and I'm ready for everything
that's coming with me having to be selfish, take
control of what the hell I got going on and popping
out when I am ready to be ready to pop out to
show y 'all. It's all. In your court. The ball
is in your court. You're going to do it like
Brutus. Just do it like Nike. It's all in your
court. But you have to realize that you don't
need to broadcast it to everyone because sometimes
people are going to bring on your downfall, my
friend. And we don't need that. We don't need
that. We need to be fully loaded, locked and
loaded with positivity as much as possible because
if not, we're going back to... How things were
the year before that. Okay? So now, where does
preparation show up most? Preparation shows up
in daily habits that builds discipline and consistency,
personal growth routines such as learning, practicing,
or studying. Professional development and skill
building, emotional growth and self -awareness,
spiritual reflections and mindset development,
moments where... Patience is required before
opportunities of peer approach. Preparation often
happens in the background and in the small choices
that don't feel exciting but create long -term
results. It shows up in what you do consistently,
not just opportunity and occasionally. Now let's
break this down. And our daily habits that builds
the discipline and consistency preparation is
there. You may not think it's there, but it's
there. Within our personal growth routines. such
as learning, practicing, or studying. Preparation
is there. We're learning something new every
day. We're challenging ourselves every day. Things
change, people change. We're studying what's
for us, what's not for us. We're practicing what
is for us, what's not for us, as well as we're
learning what we can take, what we cannot take.
So learning and experience. Professional development
and skill building. In your career, you're learning.
You know, you come with the requirements, but
you still have to learn some more stuff in the
process of the requirements. As well as your
emotional growth and awareness. When preparation
is impacted with walking in your purpose, you're
learning how you can deal with your emotions.
And you're seeing what is growing for you. You're
reducing all the negativity and things in your
life. And you're setting the key tone for the
awareness for yourself. What you can take, what
you cannot take. Once again, we're done being
stagnant. I'm walking in my purpose. You're walking
in your purpose, friend. We are here to... Get
it together. We are not here for a good time.
We're here for a long time of getting things
done. When we having fun, you know, I'm here
for a good time, my long time. Because once,
you know, I'm giving myself a break, but once
it's time to lock back in again, I'm locked in.
Y 'all going to have this. Okay? Y 'all going
to have that. especially in the spiritual reflections
and mindset development. Spirits tell you a lot
of things, you know, videos and things that I
see as TikTok and maybe you guys see it too.
It speaks value and it pops up for a reason,
as well as the mindset development. You are developing
things in your mind every day. And I can be the
one to tell you this right now. It's the times
where I had to catch myself. Because I felt like
I was training my mind, you know, to be on the
outside to be good. But in my mind, I was like,
I will raise hell up in this mother. You know?
But I had to change myself in moments where practice
is required before the opportunities are approached.
I got to practice these things. I had to practice
patience and stop lacking in it. Because, you
know, sometimes we lose patience when we don't
learn in it. because it also helps you understand
that preparation it does happen in the background
but i want you to understand that in them small
choices that don't feel excited like them small
wins don't feel excited they're helping us create
long -term results some long -term goals in our
life and it's helping us in so many ways because
y 'all when i tell y 'all some things have happened
and it was short But it was small, but it helped
me in the long run to understand who I am and
what's for me. It helped understand what's for
E and what's not for E and why is this going
to be for E, as well as for you, my friend. This
may not be for you. This is for you, but it's
also helping you understand that this small goal
is a big win. Like my therapist, shout out to
her. She helped me understand something, too,
to do. The win of the day, regardless if it's
big or small. Charge them small wins, though.
Charge the small wins because them small wins
are helping you in them long -term goals. And
granted, this started Friday for me. And my first
one, I'm going to say the small win for me was
me being able to advocate for myself. You know,
we advocate every day. But when you advocate
for yourself on things you've been going through
or whatever, and you sit there and be able to
have that vulnerability moment and stuff, that's
helping you understand you're walking in your
purpose and you're comfortable with it. And you're
being able to say what's for you, what's not
for you, what you can take, what you cannot take.
And I said that to my therapist, and she helped
me understand that, hey, you do got a lot on
your plate. We all do. But I want you to still
find joy in the morning. Because I said I haven't
had no good days. Since what I've been going
through, grief and all that, it's hard to find
happy days. When you still got to wake up every
day in the morning and still got to go to work
and go to school and things like that. It's hard
as hell. But still find, still find joy within
it. And I did. And I am. And I want you to understand
that as you're walking in your purpose, purpose
requires preparation. Find the joy. Even when
you're on this journey of getting it together,
riding around and getting it, still find the
joy even when you haven't had no good days. Still
find it. Because that also impacts with lastly,
y 'all, we get into the end. Jeez, we get into
the end. Why is this important? Why is walking
in this purpose as the month of April equal to
purpose requires preparation? Why does preparation
matters for purpose? Because purpose without
preparation can feel overwhelming and difficult
to sustain. If you don't understand the purpose,
the calling you have, you won't understand the
preparation that equals the answers for why you
are feeling the way you feel. Preparation ensures
that you are not only given opportunities, but
also able to manage them responsibly. that you
are able to deal with what comes with it. All
right, it's your purpose. My purpose is to call.
Now you answer it. Are you ready to take on what
comes with this calling that equals with this
answer? Because many people focus on the outcome
without respecting the purpose. They don't respect
the purpose of what comes with it. It's like,
you know, when you have something, I got it.
Let's say a pet. and you know your parents your
guardians whoever they give you a pet it's like
it's your responsibility okay it's a pretty pretty
doggy pretty puppy pretty pretty bunny pretty
kitty cat all that but are you prepared to take
on the responsibility for this are you focused
on the outcome without respect you know respecting
the process are you able to respect the process
of what you had for your duty But the process
also builds the strength that's needed to carry
success. For example, getting a degree. Okay.
You call it. You want to be whatever you want.
You call it for. All right. You got everything.
You accept it. And the university, the program.
Okay. Now. Are you able to manage the responsibilities
that come with it? Because, you know, many people
focus on the outcome without respecting the process
that comes with it. Are you ready for them long
nights? Are you ready to give up going out every
weekend? Are you ready to prepare for an internship
if it requires? Are you ready for this? Because
this is going to make or break you, but it's
the purpose that builds the person's strength
and needs to carry success with impacting, with
walking the purpose. Because preparation matters
because growth happens before realization. The
answers. It's allow individuals to develop resentment,
patience, and confidence before stepping into
a larger responsibility. Purpose equals the calling.
Preparation is the answer. But you answer the
phone, but now are you ready for the second and
third meetings that may be able to come for this?
Because while preparation most of the time is
ignored, purpose may feel stressed out or creates
chaos if you're not ready to understand it all
because when preparation is embraced purpose
feels intentional and manageable when you are
like you know i'm able i got it this is for you
because separating readiness from perfection
is also important we gotta stop putting Perfection
in it. Perfection in the mirror. We got to stop
that sometimes when we're walking in a purpose.
Everything is not going to be glitter and gold.
It's not going to be shiny. Sometimes we're not
going to be shiners. We got to be able to deal
with these things. We got to be able to because
you do not need to feel perfect. You need to
be prepared to feel enough. You know, we don't
need to always feel perfect, but we need to be
prepared to feel enough. That right there is
the equal to the discipline minus the motivation.
Enough for us to grow through these experiences.
So as you're walking in, your purpose, my friend,
in this second semester, before the second quarter,
before we enter the second semester, be mindful
that you do not need to feel perfect, but you
need to prepare enough to grow. Because sometimes
we're not going to be what we are in the mood
to be. No, we got to be able to take these things
one step and one day at a time. As we're walking
in our purpose, purpose requires the preparation
and understanding. Okay, this is for me. Okay.
So yes, going back to now, the call of the week
slash today. Purpose calls, but preparation answers.
This is meaning overall, like I said. You may
feel ready. You may not feel ready, but preparation
is already getting you there. You may not feel
like it's there, but the preparation is getting
you there. The purpose equals purpose calls.
You know, purpose is the call, but preparation
is the answer. It has the answers for you. You
may not feel ready, but preparation is already
getting you ready. It's getting you there. So
get ready, get set, go. Take your foot off the
brake and put it on the gas so you can take off.
Okay? So, yeah. That was a lot. That was a mouthful,
y 'all. That was a good mouthful of information
to start off the first Wednesday of the month
as well as to start off second quarter. Okay?
I thank you guys for vibing in. Today, I want
y 'all to remember that preparation is not a
punishment. It is positioning. You're not behind
simply because your journey requires growth.
Hell nah. You're not unready simply because you're
still learning. Absolutely not. Every step you
take to grow is build the version of you that
purpose requires. Preparation is happening even
when you don't see immediate results. When it's
slow, live in it. Even when it's unseen, live
in it. Appreciate it and celebrate it. Celebrate
it. Trust the process. Stay consistent. Keep
showing up for yourself even when you feel like
you're ready to throw the talent. No. Purpose
is not rushing you. It's preparing you. Purpose
is not rushing you. It is preparing you. And
as you're stepping into, walking into your purpose,
it's preparing you for what's to come. And you
got it, my friend. And don't you forget it. Don't
forget it at all. Okay? So as always, I thank
you guys for taking the time out of your day
to listen or to watch me. I hope you guys learned
to... Good amount of information from today's
vibe of the day. Tell a friend to tell a friend.
Purpose requires preparation. As you're walking
in your purpose, understand that this is for
you. Don't rush the process. Don't compare it.
Take it one at a time. Do it when you feel like
you keep having a thought in your mind. Do it.
Don't wait until you are in a good mood to do
it. No. Do it even when you feel like, hell,
I don't know. Do it and see how the results is.
Rejection is going to happen. But please be prepared
for these rejections. Okay? And as always, I
love you all so very much. Keep going. I'm here
for you. I'm cheering you on as your biggest
cheerleader from a distance. You got this. Take
it one day at a time and don't let nothing or
no one stare you wrong. You are in control of
how you want things to go, my friend. Because
as you're walking in your purpose, you're seeing
what's for you and what's not for you. Even who's
for you and who's not for you. Okay? taking one
at a time love on yourself keep going be nice
to others enjoy this amazing weather but most
importantly do what makes sense as you walk in
your purpose and understand that purpose is the
answers and preparation is the call understand
that purpose is the call excuse me but preparation
is the answers okay i love you all so very much
I can't wait for you guys to hear me next week.
And as always, I love y 'all. Have a good time.
Love on yourself and others. But most importantly,
do what's right as you're walking in your purpose.
Okay? Until next time. Bye!
