Live Your Life Hi everyone, welcome to Words of Wisdom. Listen you guys, I know I've gone off repeatedly about choosing yourself and putting yourself first, especially after you've gone through many, many tough lessons in life. I know, I've been there. I know. I'm in my late 50s now and I still have someone tugging on my energy. I know who it is but I don't look back because I'm receiving blessing after blessing. Why would I go back to something toxic or something that's not meant for me, something that doesn't make me feel good about the relationship or myself? Why would I do that when I'm being blessed? Do you understand what I'm saying? And as soon as I feel like that person is tugging on me, which is a lot, where I live it's winter time so we're having pretty decent weather at the moment but before this it was quite cold. I just run a bath, pour some salt in it and I'd sit in it, turn the lights off and light one little tea candle with one stick of incense and I just sit in there in complete silence, absolute quiet and I feel the water on my skin. I move my hands and wrists in it, sway my feet a bit, really feel the moment. It really helps to release. So that's one option if someone is tugging on you. Another option is I do this very often as well. I will get a sage stick out. Palo Santo is my favorite and I light it, blow it out and I just sage myself and I sage the whole place that I live in, every corner. It really helps. You'll feel a whole lot better afterwards. Don't allow somebody to take your energy that you don't want to give your energy to, okay? Don't do that. Don't do that because that just holds you back from your blessings. Your blessings will be delayed over and over and over again and you've earned it because you've put the work in, right? You did your dark night of the soul as they call it in or you went within. You took that time, you healed, you forgave. You forgave the other person and you forgave yourself. I had to forgive myself for allowing myself to be mistreated the way I was and it was pretty bad. That was really hard for me to do. That took me a long time to get there. So be patient with yourselves, okay? I'm not saying it's extremely easy for those who've been down a hard road. It's not easy at all. I know I've been there. You will feel that person tugging on you for quite some time. It could be a year, it could be two years. Who cares? You just do what you do to keep calling your energy back. Have your soap baths, sage yourself, do things that make you feel happy. So normally I love to put on music and I'll dance around the place and as I'm cleaning or whatever and I start to sing and I'm moving my body. So I'm moving energy, positive energy. There's a smile on my face. I'm singing at the top of my lungs. I'm feeling good. I'm feeling energetic, positive, okay? The last three days I haven't put any music on and I just feel kind of mundane, you know, like I'm coasting. But I just feel like I want to sit in silence. I feel like I just want some peace around me right now. And my man, God bless him, he's so patient with me because I do boot him out often, you know, but he understands me and he knows that it's important for me and because he loves me, he does that for me, right? Do what you have to do if you're done with your past and you're still struggling to let go. Just sage yourself, sage your home, stay prayed up, okay? If you don't believe in God, then pray to the universe. Pray to your angels, your arch angels. Good Lord, I know I am protected big time because the stuff that I dodged, I could have lost my life. I lost all my finances. I lost a place to live. I lost my dignity. I lost a lot. I was stolen from, lied to, cheated on, betrayed, everything. And now I'm being blessed in so many ways. I'm so grateful. And that's another thing, wake up every morning being grateful. Be grateful just to wake up, right? God gave you life. God will take life just like that. Enjoy every moment you have, you guys, because honest to God, we only have one chance at life. This is it. Let's make it the best. You know, I'm taking off on vacation in a couple of days and I'll be gone for a week. So I'm leaving on, uh, yeah, in a couple of days and I'm so excited. I'm not showing it right now. I'm pretty mundane, very cool, very relaxed. I've really mastered my emotions because people could, people were able to trigger me in the past. Nobody can trigger me now. I have absolute control over myself. I mean, I dated a narcissist for the love of God, a narcissist who stole, betrayed, lied, and cheated. Okay. He was physically abusive, mentally, verbally abusive. And that one just sent me right over the edge because all the exes I've ever dated were all alike. Each and every one of them, they look the same, but different. Does that mean, do you get what I'm saying? Does that make sense? They all, they all had the same hair color, hairstyle, body build. Uh, you know, they all had certain qualities about them that I thought were qualities at the time. I now pay attention to my intuition. No one will ever mistreat me like that again. I won't allow it. I'm done with that. It took me a long time to drop the weight that I've been carrying for the last four years, but it's a new year and it's a new me, and I'm going to make the best of it. I can't afford to go on a trip, but I don't care anymore. I'm just going to live my life. And when you do that, when you just live your life and don't worry, have faith that you will be taken care of. Watch what happens to your life. Just watch. You're going to have things happen to you. Things that come in that you're wanting, wishing for, dreamed of, it's going to happen. So I can sit back and go, no, I can't afford this trip. I can't afford it for the next couple of years. Or I can change my mindset and say, you know what? God will provide. I have faith that I will always be taken care of because I'm a child of God. I've never done anything to hurt anyone ever. Even though I've been mistreated by people, I've never even intentionally hurt them back. I just walk away because I know I deserve better. And I know that like when you hit 40, you guys, you're going to, if you're not 40, and when you hit 40, you're going to notice life getting faster. And when you hit over 50, for the love of God, you have no idea where the days go. Time flies like there's no tomorrow. And I mean it. Be grateful for absolutely everything. There's so many things to be grateful for. So many things. I'm grateful for a roof over my head. I'm in a condo. And I've lived in condos before that were loud as fuck. I could never get any sleep or anything. This condo building is quiet. It's like you have your own house separate from being attached to anything. It's amazing. I'm so grateful for that. So I can sleep at night. I'm grateful for the food I have in my fridge. Right now I have two vegetables and a thing of meat. That's all I need. Like I have everything I need. I'm able to pay my mortgage. I'm able to pay my bills. I'm able to do whatever it is that I need. Not what I want. Not yet. But I know it's coming. I'm excited as fuck you guys, because I know it's coming. I feel it. I'm getting the synchronicities, numbers, the numbers, one, one, one, 11, 11, 12, 12, lots of fours, lots of twos. It's coming. And I'm just sitting back being patient and doing what I love, which is this. Trying to help people who are stuck because I was stuck for so many years, but I've now decided enough is enough. I did the whole, okay, I'll just wait because, you know, there was no closure, no conversation. Boom. It was over just like that. No explanation, no understanding, nothing made sense. And then I had to look for a place to stay because I was getting kicked out. Boom. I had six hours to look for a place, but look how it all worked. I mean, oh my God. I look back now and I see how everything worked, worked out the way it needed to, when it needed to and how it needed to. It's just insane. Now that I look back, I now know I am protected, very protected. And I am so grateful for that. So I've been stuck too. You know, went through the whole, okay, I'll just wait and see if, you know, at some point I'm going to get a response or, you know, at least a reason as to what had happened because it came out of nowhere. But I waited and I waited and I waited. I waited two years, you guys, two years. I don't wait for anything or anyone ever again. I'm done with that. Finally clicked into my mind. You know what? What do you like to do? Because I was a single parent. So I've raised my son. I did my job, my duty there. I'm always going to be there for him. But you know, I did what I had to do. He's on his own now. Thank God he's doing okay. Right? Now it's about me. But once you give so much time of yourself, so much effort, all the air you breathe, all the energy. I lived in the kitchen because kids are hungry, especially in their teens. They're sprouting, they're growing, they're expanding, right? They get hungry. So I cooked and cooked and cooked and cooked and cleaned and shoveled and cooked and cleaned and right. It never ended. Now I just sleep a lot because I love sleep. And if my body is asking for it, I'm going to respect it. You guys, sometimes I go to bed at 630 at night, 630. Some people are getting off work. Some people are going out to dinner or just having their dinner and I'm going to bed, but I'll respect my body. And it never lets me down. It's like having a car. If you don't change the oil or have no oil, how do you expect the car to run? You need to take care of it. After that waiting time, that's when my healing started to begin. I thought, okay, this isn't going to happen. I'm not waiting anymore. This was then. Now I don't wait at all. Okay? When you wait, I was going to say stop waiting, but when you wait, you're putting your life on hold. That's what I did. I put my life on hold for someone else who doesn't even deserve me. Think about that. Why would I do that again? Life is precious. We're here only once. For the love of God, I'm going to be 60 in a few years. Less than. It's my time. It's my time to enjoy my life. I've earned it. I've done the work. It was hard, but it's so worth it. You won't regret it. Please believe that because I want the best for you. I want you. If I could help someone, just someone, one person, honest to God, just one person heal and save many years of their lives and their lives. Wow. Of their life. Right. That would make me the happiest person on God's green earth. I'm telling you, because we always seem to get the wisdom pastor fifties. You know, when the body starts to kind of depreciate and what have you, but you'd stay strong. You still exercise all that. You just put your life on hold for somebody else that didn't appreciate you. Don't do that. Do whatever it takes to keep your mind off that person. You have your salt baths. You sage as often as you need to. I sage my jewelry, everything, everything constantly, and just keep doing what makes you happy. Because the longer you have a smile on your face, a genuine smile, and you laugh genuinely, like it's really funny where it's uncontrollable laughter. Your blessings are going to roll in one after another, after another brace yourself, be ready for them. I accept it. I am ready for my abundance. I am ready to receive. I choose me. And when you choose you, you don't have to search for love. You don't have to search for opportunities. You don't have to search for anything when you truly choose you and you know, you inside and out, right? You've learned lessons. You've grown. You are the caterpillar that became a butterfly. You transformed butterflies are about transformation. And when you do that, everything will come to you. You just live your life and let God and the universe do their thing. They're doing all the heavy lifting, your spirit guides, your archangels, your ancestors, they're taking care of absolutely everything for you. All you have to do is live. That's it. Just live life. And please turn the TVs off. Yes, I like my movies too. I'll do a movie like on the weekend kind of thing because it's too easy to become a couch potato. After work, you sit, you flick the tube on. Nope. Move your body. Get that energy going. Get that positive energy going. Okay. It flows. It needs to flow. Okay, you guys. And for the love of God, please stop watching the news. Okay. I'll bet you anything that if we all stopped watching the news and didn't give our energy to our very poor leaders, each and every one of them, what are kind of drama are they going to cause if they don't have an audience? Think about that. Nobody's going to get all caught up in that bullshit. Let them fight amongst themselves. And then they're going to have to stop because there's no audience for them to perform in front of. Remember I've always said a plant, you water it, it grows. You don't, it dies. Don't give the energy to all those negative egotistical motherfuckers. Okay. Cause that's all they are each and every one of them. So let them, you know, have their little, uh, temper tantrums towards each other and live your life. It's time. Do the things you've always wanted to try. Do the things you've always wanted to do. Do everything that makes you feel good. You deserve it. And it's time. All right, everyone. I love you so very much. God bless, be blessed and keep choosing you. If you felt this and this resonated with you, please like and subscribe to this podcast and this channel. Okay. I would really appreciate that from the bottom of my heart. And if there's anyone out there that needs to hear this, please share because when you do that, you are sending a signal to the universe that you care about that person. That means you're spreading love, light, and healing. And when you help someone else, you will get blessed even more from the universe because they're watching everything. We are being watched by God and we are being watched by the universe. That's how come they can intervene certain relationships, friendships, everything. Okay. So when something doesn't work out the way you want it to, I know it's going to hurt. I've been there. The person I was with, I thought I was going to be with for the rest of my life. I thought that was my person. Turns out he wasn't. That hurts. That stings. That's hard to let go of. That's hard to understand. But I did it and I got through it and I'm getting blessed and I'm truly grateful. I'm thankful. I believe. Okay. You can do this. You can let it go and start living your life. It's your life. What do you want to do with it? How do you see it? How do you see this year for yourself? What are the new things you want to try? And if you don't like it, that's okay. At least you know now. So, you try something else and you keep going. I have to do that now because like I said, I raised my child. I poured all of my energy into raising my child and now I have to get to myself. I know the new me who I have become, but I don't have a hobby. I don't know what I enjoy doing. I know I love music and I know I love to dance, but now I really want to try something with my hands. I want to get creative in different ways. So, I'm going to try everything and anything. And if I don't like it, then I know I try something else. Sooner or later, something will stick. I guarantee it. I'm looking forward to it. It's a new year. I'm going to try new things. All right, you guys live your life. You deserve it. I'm proud of you.
