The Pathway To Your Results
Developing Mental Toughness
We dive deep into how resilience serves as the foundational muscle needed to thrive through life's inevitable challenges and setbacks. Through personal stories and practical wisdom, we explore how developing this critical quality transforms our capacity to handle adversity.
• Resilience as the key muscle that helps us thrive rather than just survive
• How challenging situations are opportunities to strengthen our resilience muscle
• The importance of teaching resilience to children through meaningful challenges
• Why emotional regulation and rejecting victim mentality are crucial for building resilience
• The balance between pushing through difficulty and knowing when to pivot
• How my college basketball "quitting moment" became a pivotal growth opportunity
• Recognizing that resilience isn't fixed but can be developed through intentional practice
• The perspective shift from "why is this happening to me" to "how is this developing me"
• Finding joy in the journey by embracing challenges as growth catalysts
• Why resilience touches every aspect of life from business to relationships

Once you see what you actually are, that you're an infinite, limitless being, you'll see that nothing exists outside of you. I'm your host, derek Grant, and this is the Pathway to your Results Podcast. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Pathway to Results podcast. It is your boy, dg. This is presented by DG Mindset. It is an honor and a privilege to be able to share a space and time with you, especially this message, because this message was divinely orchestrated for you to listen to at this moment that we are calling now. So I like to share my life, as I've been doing for the last couple of years, my journey, my evolution. I share it with you all, from parenthood, marriage, to business-wise, mindset-wise. All I'm doing is always telling you what's going on in my life and creating a metaphor, analogy, for you to somehow relate it back to you. We've talked about this topic before. We've talked about resiliency. We've talked about how important it is, or how vital that it is, on this self-development journey, for us to be resilient. But I want to go just a little bit. I want to go a little bit deeper, because there's somebody out here somebody out here right now, who's listening to this or needs to hear this, is in a place where they feel stuck. They want to thrive, but they're in survival mode. They wonder how they're going to get through it. And this message is divinely orchestrated for you. I'm just the messenger. My son, we had an AAU tournament in Cincinnati and we went down there for the weekend and it's around spring break. So we got eight kids on the team, but two of them they're on spring break, right, they had vacations that were planned, you know, a year out and you know anybody knows anything about AAU. I'm joking here. But you're going to pay 10 games in 24 hours. It's exhausting. So my son had two games on Saturday and then he had the actual tournament start on Sunday. So you could play up to three games. That's five games in a matter of like 26 hours. Now we only got six people. We only got six people. You can only play five at a time. That means we have one sub, and not to mention two of the kids that were gone. They were two of our starters. So I don't care what level you are If you have two starters missing. That's I mean it's going to be challenging.
Speaker 1:So the type of defense that we play is we play full court, man to man pick up like, pick your guy up full court. I mean, I'm talking about you can smell his breath. You were right up on him the whole game. Why we play the whole game that way. And the boys were exhausted. They were tired because they couldn't. I didn't have any subs, I had one guy to put in and I told them before the game hey look, here's what it is, here's what it is. You got no subs this weekend. Go and get your mind right, know that you're not coming out, you're going to be tired, it's going to be burning, it's going to be hurting, but just know that's what it's going to be this weekend, because this is just the reality of life right now. So I told him that we lost one game on Saturday, lost another one on Saturday, then Sunday tournament actually starts and our first game. You know they're tired from the day before and we end up losing the game. But it wasn't about losing. Hear me when I say this, because we've got to go ahead and get started.
Speaker 1:Understand that anything that you do, it's never about what you do, it's about how you do it. So my son asked me after the game on the ride back home he was like dad, what was your favorite part about the weekend? I said I love to see y'all boys do hard stuff. That was my favorite part of it. He was like man, that's messed up. I said no, it's not.
Speaker 1:And here's why Because every time you do something hard, every time you do something hard and you push through it. You do something challenging and you push through it. You do something that creates adversity and you push through it. You're going to develop this muscle of resiliency, and here's what resiliency means it's just your ability to bounce back in the face of adversity, in the face of challenge, in the face of difficult situations. So, if I can push through when something is hard, what's going to happen when something moves my way? Goodness gracious. This is when you know they're going to say dang, he out here doing. Do you know how long he had been swimming upstream, though? And he never stopped swimming, he just kept going.
Speaker 1:So I was telling the boys this weekend we could have won the game on Sunday for sure. I could have put them in a zone defense and we would have won. I could have saved their legs, but I wasn't going to do it. I wasn't going to do it because here's why it wasn't about the win, it was about how you got to the destination. I would rather take a loss and be developed mentally, psychologically, spiritually, emotionally than take a win. And we didn't develop, we didn't grow.
Speaker 1:So the reason why I'm saying this is because life is going to give you a series of tests. Life is going to give you a series of hardships. Life is going to throw adversity. Life is going to give you difficult situation. Life is going to give you stress. Life is going to give you trauma. Life is going to give you setbacks. It's going to that is guaranteed. The only reason why it's setbacks it's going to that is guaranteed the only reason why it's happening, is because it's trying to develop your muscle of strength, of courage, adaptability, of growth. That's the only reason why it comes to you and this is why I'm telling you resiliency is the muscle. If you have a well-developed muscle of resilience, it will get you through anything in life, anything.
Speaker 1:So my son we had a long talk on the way home and he actually got to see because he got tired. I mean, he got tired. He looked at me at one point. He looked like you ever gone swimming or you done something. You gone swimming. You got a mouthful of water. You're looking at someone but you ain't really seeing them because you're in a whole nother world, because you're just trying to get your bearings. This is what he was going through. He was so tired. I was looking at him. I was like look you tired. He's like dad, I need a sub.
Speaker 1:I said I don't care, you're going to place of physical struggle, but psychologically, do not listen to your body, do not listen to what it's saying. The physical plane is just a course, it's just a reflection of what's going on mentally. I said you're going to have to get your mind right. Go ahead and start telling yourself what you need to tell yourself. So my son went through waves. You could see it. One minute he's like I'm good, I'm good, and the next minute he'd get tired and then he'd turn it back on again.
Speaker 1:So the next morning I told him. I said we're going to do like we always do and he was super sore. I said we're getting up at 7.30 in the morning. We're going to work out before you go to school, just like we always do. He's like yep, I'm sore. I said think about now if you could just get up and do it. Think about how much more developed psychologically you're going to be, you see. So everything that we do is always preparing us for the next thing.
Speaker 1:But and I told my son I said, here's the deal. You can't go into it kicking and screaming, saying, oh my goodness, why do I have to do this? You're not going to prosper coming from a place of the victim. You're not going to develop and grow coming from the place of the victim. You're not going to develop and grow coming from the place of scarcity. This is the mindset shift when it gets hard. I can't sit here and be like, oh my gosh, why is this happening to me? Nobody else has. That ain't going to get you there. Instead, it's reminding yourself I may bend, but I ain't never going to break. It may be hard, but it ain't nothing that comes to me that I can't get through. I'm going through it right now.
Speaker 1:No matter what you go through, no matter what comes to you, please know that you were already built for it. You were already built for it. You were already. You already had the capability to push through it. There was going to be an alchemical process. Good God, almighty, they're about to get me started. There was going to be an alchemical process that was going to take place, in that what we call the liminal space Meaning when you were in the space of this is challenging. This is hard. I want to give up. It burns, it sucks. Why am I doing this? If you can just push one step further, you're going to develop and you're going to grow.
Speaker 1:And here's the beauty about resilience it ain't a fixed trait. It ain't like something that you was born with and I, well, I'm resilient. He's not, and I guess no, it can be developed and strengthened over time. That's why you have these personal experiences, and all of us have these different personal experiences. Your self-care practices, your mindset shifts all of these play into this trait that we call resilience. So here's the most important part I will tell you You're going to have to be able to emotionally regulate yourself.
Speaker 1:And in order to emotionally regulate yourself, you're going to have to get out of this dualistic thinking I don't care if you have cancer, I don't care if you're sick, I don't care, it doesn't matter. If you just lost your family, it does not matter. You still have the ability to emotionally regulate yourself. You still have the ability to choose how you want to perceive it and that takes supreme accountability, and I'm sure a lot of people don't want to hear that. And sometimes it's easier for us to just sit in that space where it's more comfortable being the victim. Sometimes it's easier to just sit in that space where I can carry this narrative on and me being the victim, because if I'm the victim now, I don't have to step into my power, and if I don't have to step into my power, I won't have to be accountable. And if I don't have to step into my power and if I don't have to step into my power, I won't have to be accountable. And if I don't have to be accountable, I can still continue to live in fear. And while this fear is sometimes scary, it's comfortable.
Speaker 1:It's known and this is the hard part about resiliency you can't be resilient and be in a space that you've been in before. Good God, almighty, you ain't trying to hear this right now. You ain't going to develop resiliency by doing things that you have already done. Resiliency comes or resilience comes with the next level of you, the next iteration, the next vibration, the next frequency, what we know. The only way to build, the only way to develop, is for you to go through hardship, so you will start to see that everything that comes to you hard good God, almighty all it was trying to do was get you to get the veins popping out of this muscle of what we call resilience.
Speaker 1:I went out, I went to work out this morning. I just kept telling myself resilience, resilience. Everything that I'm doing now, resilience, everything that I do is to develop resilience. I'm scared to go over and have that conversation. Get your butt over there and go have that conversation. Why? Because if you can go over there and have that conversation and have the first words come out of your mouth first, guess what you just developed that muscle of resilience. If you can hit one more rep on those squats, one more rep, if you can go down just a little bit further, guess what you just did. You just developed this muscle of resilience, and here's the beauty of it. That's the same muscle that you're going to use to build your business. That's the same muscle that you're going to use to keep that marriage when that marriage is about to fall apart. That's the same muscle that you're going to use to help those children get to be all that they're truly capable of being.
Speaker 1:My point of this is this isn't a one-stop shop. Resiliency is the thing that. So it will literally touch every facet of life. So if there's any quality that I can give you, if there's any gems or information or wisdom I can give you, please know that everything that feels like it's adverse, it feels like it's against you, it feels like it's beating you down, it feels like it's breaking you, please know. Please know it ain't breaking you. It's trying to get you to develop this muscle, resiliency. And here's what I will tell you. I will speak life over you. I'm telling you only because I know and I experience the more that you develop this muscle of resiliency, the more your capabilities expand. See, when you have an overly developed resiliency muscle, right, there's nothing that you cannot do, because, even if it gets hard, you said, I'm going to figure out a way. I don't care how many reps I got to hit, I don't care if the bar is on my neck. I'm going to figure this out and see, I didn't know this, but I was raised this way. I was raised this way. I was raised this way.
Speaker 1:My mother and father, they came from humble beginnings. They came from Marion, south Carolina, and all my people from South Kakalak. You know what I'm talking. You know where Marion is. They came from a small little town, grew up with nothing. My mother was a daughter of a sharecropper. My father was the son of one of nine from my mother. I'm sorry. His father died when he was seven. His mom never remarried. He was one of nine.
Speaker 1:So they come from this background, they come from this lineage. They come from this mindset of we're going to have to figure this out. We're going to have to keep going. We have to, because if we don't, what are we going to do? Now? There's a balance. Obviously there's a balance, and, just like a muscle, it takes time to be developed. So if you for some reason, may look at someone across the country or someone on social media and say, oh man, how come they were able to push through and do what's hard and I can't, maybe because their muscle's just a little bit stronger than yours. That doesn't mean that you were any less of a being. That doesn't mean that they were any better than you. That just meant that you had to work a little bit more to develop it. So here's my motto.
Speaker 1:I told you when I went and worked out this morning I just kept saying resiliency, resiliency, resiliency. And we had to do jump squats. Right, we had to do jump squats. Now I got these knees right. Now these knees might need some stem cell. I had a lot of wear and tear on my knees over the years, but the trainer came up to me and said hey, keep going, don't stop, don't stop. And I'm like all right, I can do that. Well, we were supposed to have a break after 30 seconds. Everybody else got a break. He said don't you get a break, you ain't going to get a break, you're going to stay right here in the squat position. Don't you stop, you stay right. And I said wait, so I'm going to keep going.
Speaker 1:You see how my mind was trying to question and justify and rationalize how it's going to do something hard. Good God, almighty, stop bringing your mind into it. When it's time for you to do something hard, the mind ain't going to want to do it. The mind ain't going to want to be uncomfortable because, in order for it to be uncomfortable, but that means a part of it's going to have to die. The mind is rooted in survival and every time that you do something hard, the mind says I'm going to die. You got damn right. You're going to die version of you. You can't come with me right now because I got dreams, I got aspirations, I got goals, I got things that I have been put here on this earth to do, and this weak mind that you got right now, it can't come with me. So this is why you have to push yourself. You will have to challenge yourself Now.
Speaker 1:D how do I develop this muscle of resilience? Simple Do what's challenging, do what's hard, do what makes you say what the am I doing right now? Why am I doing this? I make my kids every morning. They got to get up and make up their bed. They got to make up their bed every day. I don't care if you're on spring break, I don't care if you're on vacation, I don't care. You got to make up your bed. Why? For what? Because you doing this is harder than you not doing it. Good God, almighty you getting up in the morning. It's easier for you to get up, get dressed and take your little butt downstairs and get on the bus than it is for you to take 45 seconds to a minute and make that bed up. So that's why you do it. I'm slowly building and developing their muscle of resilience.
Speaker 1:I don't let my kids give up on anything. We can pivot, but we ain't going to give up. We ain't going to stop. Why? Because if you take one more step, one more step, good God, almighty, if you take one more step, you don't know what could be waiting for you. Because the universe always honors resilience. Good God, almighty, say it with me this universe honors resilience. I never will forget.
Speaker 1:It was my freshman year at the College of New Jersey. I was so excited. I worked out all summer preparing myself for my freshman year. It was time to start our practice in October. I'm ready. And then, all of a sudden, my only grandparent that I knew, lena Ford Leggett. She passed away. Six-month battle of breast cancer, she ended up passing away. She passed away on Tuesday. The funeral was on Friday. So I went to South Carolina on that Thursday and I went to the funeral on Friday. It was their Saturday. I came home Sunday.
Speaker 1:My very first college basketball practice started on Monday. Very first college basketball practice. Now, for those of us that know the game of basketball, there's a running drill that you have to do. Where you got to start, on the baseline, you got to touch the free throw line, come back and touch the baseline, then run back and touch the half court and then come back and touch the baseline again and then go run down to the other free throw line and come back and touch the baseline again and then go run down to the other free throw line and come back and touch the baseline again and then go back and touch the other baseline and come back and touch the other baseline. Don't know why they call it this, but this is another word. They call it suicides, right? So we had to do this.
Speaker 1:My first practice that coach put 30 minutes up on the clock. Now, on average to run one of these drills. It takes, on average, about 35 seconds. So he went ahead and put 30 minutes up on the clock and you had 30 minutes to do 30 of these. You had 30 minutes to do 30 of these. Now let me go ahead and break this down for you. If you sprint it, you're going to take about 35 seconds. So if you take 35 seconds, what does that mean? You have 25 second break until the minute mark to the 60 second mark and then when that minute mark, that 60 second, starts, you go again.
Speaker 1:I got to number 17 and I started to walk over to my assistant coach. His name was Chris Ballant. I started to walk over to Chris Ballant and I went over there to quit. I swear to you on everything. I don't know if I ever told this story. I told this to some speaking engagements, but I started walking over to him to quit. I was going to quit basketball.
Speaker 1:I was in such a bad space mentally. My grandmother had just passed away, the only grandparent that I knew. I was somewhat close to her as close as you could be in the early 2000s with no technology somewhat close to her, as close as you could be in the early 2000s with no technology. I went over there to quit because I was in such a bad space mentally. I was coming from the place of the victim. I said my grandmother just died. Life is really hard and, mind you, this was the first death that I've ever had to deal with. This was the first death close to me that I'd ever had to deal with. This is the first loss, the first grief I'd ever really experienced and I said I can't do this. I can't do this right now.
Speaker 1:I was in a space that made me question why. I was even there and I started walking over there to go quit. And then I heard my grandmother's voice. I felt her energy, I felt her presence as I was walking over there and my coach looked at me. We, my coach, looked at me, we locked eyes. He looked at me like what are you doing right now? And then, all of a sudden, I almost went into another dimension. I heard my grandmother saying her, her, her old, southern South Cackalacky, south Carolina, southern drawl. She says, boy, you better get your butt on that line. She said you better go back. You better go back. You better go back and do one more. You better go back and do one more. Go do one more and then go ahead and quit. I did one more. Not only did I do one more, I did 13 more and ended up finishing it out and I ended up getting done. Now I was sore for about five days after that, but I finished it.
Speaker 1:But here's my point what people don't see and what a lot of times we don't realize. Because you didn't do that one more, you didn't just push through that one day. Look at everything that came after that. People say, oh wow, you got to play for the globe trials, and you got to do this and you got to do that. Do you know that? I was at a pivot? Sorry, I was at what we call a hinge moment. I was at a fork in the road. I could have went left, I could have went right. I just did one more.
Speaker 1:So I'm saying this to you all I'm encouraging you in this 2025, if you're going to get to where you're going to go because you can go anywhere that you please I'm just telling you the muscle of resilience will be so needed. It will be so needed, and please know that you will never fully develop it and as you continue to develop it, life will continue to honor it and your capabilities will expand. So, ultimately, what is my point? Resiliency is what's going to help you to thrive, because life's going to throw you the inevitable challenges. It's going to do that. But when you have this muscle of resilience and you're conscious in that moment of when it's hard, these hardships will become your weight to develop the muscle. It will become the catalyst to help you to grow, and this is when you become unstoppable. So, no matter what it may look like in your life, you can be a professional athlete, you can be an entrepreneur, you could be a stay-at-home mom. Whatever challenges look like in your life, you could have been just traded, I don't know. Whatever it may look like, please know that the worst thing that's going to happen if you continue is it's going to develop your muscle of resiliency, and that's the same muscle that you're going to use to get to the top of the mountain.
Speaker 1:So I was telling my son, I said he had never heard of this thing called resilience. And he got to actually experience resilience in the moment when he was playing and he was tired, he was exhausted and he was looking at me like dad, come save me. I said I can't come save you. He was tired, he was exhausted and he was looking at me like dad, come save me. I said I can't come save you, I can't come save you, I can't help you. And don't you ask me to come out this game either. You're going to keep your butt in the game. Stay in the game, stay in the suck, stay in the hard. It's challenging you. I get it, I've been there. I looked at him and said I know how tired you are, I know it, but stay in it, because the worst thing that's going to happen. It's going to empower you. It's going to show you really what you're made of.
Speaker 1:So I told him in the car on the way home. I said look, why do you think dad went and sat in the dark for five days? Why do you think dad went and climbed that mountain and had to climb it 13 times in 36 hours? Why do you think dad ran the half marathon last year? Why do you think dad does all this? You think daddy does this just so he can stay in shape? If I want to, I could grow a gut If I wanted to. The only reason at this point why I am even doing anything remotely challenging in my life physically is because I know a physical challenge is going to test me psychologically. It's going to test me mentally.
Speaker 1:And I started to tell him. I said do you see, the only thing that separated one player or one man from another was his mindset, was his muscle of resiliency. The only thing that separated you from anyone else was were you able to push through when times got hard? We used to have a saying back in the day for all my young people out there that maybe never heard this when the tough get going. Sorry, when the going gets tough, the tough get going. When the adversity comes, the resilience kicks in. But it can't kick in if you continue to run away from it. It can't kick in if life gets hard and you run away and go in the other direction. So I'm talking to all my parents out there the most, from my perspective, if you want to prepare your kids for life, teach them accountability, teach them resiliency, teach them to stay in something when it gets hard.
Speaker 1:I'm seeing all right now I'm watching it right now in college basketball. I'm watching in college basketball how these kids didn't go the way they wanted. The season didn't go the way they wanted. What do they do? They pick up and leave. Now don't get me wrong. Sometimes we got to pivot. But before you leave, you better make sure that you ain't running from something. Before you leave, you better make sure that you're not just sweeping it under the rug, because there may have been an opportunity for you to grow and do what was difficult.
Speaker 1:And, like I said, there is a fine balance between staying in something and saying, all right, I got to get out of it. If you were in a relationship and somebody's beating your head in and you, over here, getting domestic violence is happening. Don't sit here and say, well, I'm going to stay in this relationship, because the more that he hits me, the stronger I'm going to get. No, there will be some discernment. There is definitely going to be a fine line, a level of balance. That's needed, and this is why the universe verse provided you with intuition. Intuition gives you that teacher inside who says stick with it. No, no, no, no. We have to move. This isn't for you right now. This does not resonate with your highest self.
Speaker 1:So the reason why I'm saying this is because, on this journey of you becoming who you're looking to become, please know that resilience is the muscle that's going to get you there. And if it's hard, don't be so quick to turn away, because this may be the thing that's going to develop you for the next iteration. So you know our model. I tell my kids this we're going to do what's hard. We're going to do what's hard. If it's hard, we're going to go ahead and do it. We're going to see what we're made of. I just want to see what it's like. I want to see what parts of me come from this. Don't take the easy way out. Don't take the easy way out because the hard part there was another part of you that was wrapped up and coded inside of it and I told you if I would have walked over and quit, who knows what life would have looked like. So this was for everybody who needed to hear it Just keep going. Life ain't trying to break you. It's just trying to get you to bend, and every time that you bend you develop this muscle of resiliency. So keep bending, keep bending. Keep that positive mindset and say I don't know how this is going to work, but I know it's building me. I don't know what it's doing for me, but I know it's doing something. I know that this is going to help me in some way, shape or form. I know it will.
Speaker 1:Get up and do what's difficult. Get up and do what's challenging. If that means you got to get up and start a morning practice of meditation, of working out, start there. I'm not telling you got to go run a marathon, but start doing what's challenging. I said I thought about it yesterday. I said you know what the most rewarding thing is is watching people do stuff that's hard.
Speaker 1:Why do you think we honor greatness? Why do you think we love greatness. You know what greatness is. Greatness means you showed up repeatedly and did what was hard to get to where you are at. I showed up repeatedly every doggone day you are at. I showed up repeatedly every doggone day, every single day. When nobody saw it, when nobody gave credit for it, when nobody was following, showed up every day and did the same thing. Showed up every day to the gym. I showed up and loved myself every moment. When people thought everything was hunky, I showed up every single day. Even in the midst of the storm, even when life sucked, even when I wondered how I was going to keep going, I still showed up every single day. Even in the midst of the storm, even when life sucked, even when I wondered how I was going to keep going, I still showed up every single day. Not every day did I have a smile on my face. I didn't have a smile on my face every day, but I showed the up and that, my friends, that energy is going to get you to the top of the mountain. It's going to get you to the top of the mountain. And then here's what ends up happening.
Speaker 1:When they say you fall in love with the journey. You fall in love with the journey because when you realize that I'm growing, even when it's snowing, you're going to keep going, meaning even when it's hard, I'm going to get something from this. You fall in love with the grind. You fall in love with the journey and you start to see that life was looking you out. You can't lose Life was looking you out and you become unstoppable. You walk in that black jaguar energy. That energy says ain't nothing going to stop me.
Speaker 1:There's going to be a lot of hurdles. If there's a 30-foot wall, just give me some time, I'll figure out how to get over that. Mother, just give me some time. Yeah, yeah. People say oh well, you got to. You got to. It costs this much. Give me some time, I'll figure out how to get it done.
Speaker 1:But they say you can't do that. Watch me See if I don't get it done. Matter of fact, when I get it done, call me. I'm not going to call you. You call me when I finish it. You see the energy. This is what resilience says. You may be down by 10 right now, with three minutes left, but it don't matter. We ain't going to stop. And you know what they may win. They may beat us, but I guarantee you one thing they going to remember who we were. They going to remember. They going to say, damn, that mother never gave up, she never quit.
Speaker 1:Did you see what her life looked like five years ago and where she is now? Yeah, somewhere along the journey there was an alchemical process that took place and she started to realize that the more I stay in this, the more I keep pushing, the more I keep going, the more I take one more step forward, the more I just keep loving myself and showing up every day for myself, and stop showing up for the world and showing up for everybody else. The more that I keep doing this, I'm going to start to learn a little bit more about me, and I started to fall in love with me. I started to fall in love with the journey of learning who I was and each hardship that came. It was a new opportunity for me to find another part of myself that I had never known. It was just a little bit more healing. It was just a little bit more growth that was on the horizon. On the horizon, oh, my goodness. Wait till you see what I do in 10 years. Wait till you see what it looks like in 15. Do you see? So keep going.
Speaker 1:Y'all, develop the muscle resilience. Teach your children, teach the generation coming up. This is why we always badmouth this generation coming up. They haven't learned resilience. This is the problem when you get something without having to work for it, you see, this is what it means to be spoiled. So I don't spoil my kids, I don't care if I got $10 billion. You're going to have to learn that there's energy that has to be given so you can get it back Because, worst case, you're going to learn resiliency and that resiliency is what's going to need when life comes to hit you and you get that sacred wound and you wonder how you're going to keep going.
Speaker 1:Because I swear to God on everything I've ever known in this existence, if my parents had not taught me resiliency through making me go out there and mulch in the heat of the day when I lived in Louisiana, for not making me continue to go on even when I wanted to quit stuff, if my parents had not done that when my sacred wound came at 36 and I lost everything. And I wonder how I was going to figure out a way to provide for my family. If I had not had that muscle of resiliency to fall back on, I would have taken my life. I would have given up on myself. So this is why we teach our children, we teach the generation coming up. You teach them through your actions. Don't do it through words, do it by what you do. So this is why it's so important for you to work on yourself and for you to develop your muscle of resiliency. So keep going, y'all. Keep going, keep pushing, keep pushing. Sometimes you're going to have to take a break For sure, you got to take a break sometimes but recalibrate and get yourself right back up on that horse. That horse bucked me off the first time and it took six seconds, but I'm going to stay on that mother for eight. I'm going to stay on there for eight seconds. Keep on pushing.
