You Are A One of One

We step back and look at how life unfolds over a decade, then use that perspective to rebuild self-trust when doubt shows up. We challenge the idea that you are flawed and replace it with a definition of perfection that frees you from comparison and puts you back in your own lane. 

• reflecting on where you are now versus 10 years ago 
• trusting a “divine intelligence” through seasons of up and down 
• separating growth from self-rejection, change without shame 
• challenging the belief that a perfect creator makes imperfect creations 
• redefining perfection as the absence of comparison 
• using 117 billion people as proof of your one-of-one identity 
• noticing how we worship uniqueness, then ruin it with comparison 
• treating “name, image, and likeness” as a metaphor for divine identity 
• upgrading the nervous system so the truth becomes embodied 
• learning “golden tempo” from a comeback Kentucky Derby win 
• replacing expectations with intentions and moving with trust 

Do me a favor, I want you to get a with a dry erase marker. Go back home and write on your mirror the number 117 billion, so you can really see how many that is.

Life Is Happening For You

SPEAKER_00 0:05

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.

Bro.

SPEAKER_00 0:28

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Pathway to Results Podcast. It is your boy DG. What a day. What a life with an experience, isn't it? Isn't it beautiful? Isn't it wonderful? Isn't it um so divinely orchestrated? Isn't it so glorious? It's an adventure. Um, how do we want to describe it? I mean, it's just everything all encapsulated into one experience. I don't think people really understand the the uh I don't want to use the word miracle because when we look at miracle, we look at it like it's something that's just um once-in-life opportunity. Like this is something, if you look at it across the spectrum of life, life is amazing. It's amazing. It's perfect. It's just as it should be. It couldn't be any other way than it is right now. Now, now.

The 10-Year Reality Check

SPEAKER_00 1:36

Look at life. I want you to do me a favor. Look at where you are right now in your life. Okay. Look at where you are, emotionally, mentally, physically, spiritually. And then I want you to reflect back 10 years ago. And I want you to look at where you were. Okay, 10 years. That was me. I was 33. I was in a I was in a fog back then. I don't even really remember. I was, I was, I was wrapped up in a cocoon in the matrix. I didn't know what was going on. Unconscious like a mo. Sleep. Boy, I was asleep, boy. I was pajamas on, everything. Alarm clock was trying to go off, but I wouldn't hear none of it. Sleep like a mo. Look at where you were 10 years ago. And look at where you are now. Now, I want you to look at everything that's ever happened in between. And some things you'll remember and some things you won't, but look at everything that's happened in between now and then. Look at uh the ups and the downs and the thoughts and the emotions and the trauma and the uh uh the positive and the negative. Look at all the things that have happened in between those last 10 years. And if somebody would have told you 10 years ago that you'd have to be able to guess when exactly things were going to happen and how they were gonna happen, you could have never done it if somebody gave you a trillion trillion tries. But it happened. And you're here. And I don't know you necessarily personally, maybe, but I'm willing to bet that this version of you today is more evolved and more aware than the version of you in the past. Good God Almighty, I don't think you hear anything that I'm trying to say to you right now. So if that's the case, that would mean that everything is going, as I tell my son, according to plan. Everything is moving just as it should be. There's some type of central intelligence, and I'm not talking about the CIA. There's a central intelligence, a divine intelligence. Maybe that's what we need to call it. We need to call it the DIA, the divine intelligence agency, that is sitting here behind the scenes, ensuring that everything is moving according to plan, at the speed that it needs to, in the motion in the direction that it needs to. And some seasons it went up and some seasons it went down. Some seasons it went forward and some seasons it went backwards, some seasons it went left, and some seasons it went right. But in all of those seasons, when you added them up, the cumulative effect was the increasing of your awareness, the opening of your heart, the trusting of your soul. So it all would have worked itself

Perfect Now And Still Evolving

SPEAKER_00 4:15

out. So what it was, what is my point? Here's something I was I was starting to realize, and y'all good usher, you don't go and close the door because we're about to get started now. If we look at you, for example, you, I don't even know you. But let me tell you something. You're perfect. You're perfect. Now there's parts of you that are evolving, and there's parts of you that are um growing. But I like to tell you, I'd like to be the one to tell you that you're perfect, and maybe you've never heard that before. You're perfect. Now hear me when I say that. I'm not gonna come back and follow up with you don't need to change anything about you. No, no, no. Change is is is a constant. Change is going to happen. There are going to be parts of you that change. But those new results, those too are perfect. This new version of you, that too is perfect.

The Flaw Myth Gets Exposed

SPEAKER_00 5:16

I asked somebody the other day, it was a young man, he's 17 years old. I used to work with his parents, and he reached out to me and he said, You know, I'm really struggling with, you know, where I'm at right now and just feeling stressful and feeling anxiety. And I had to stop him right there. I said, What do you believe in? He goes to a Catholic school. He said, I believe in God. I said, Okay, cool. Let's just have a quick conversation. You can call it God, you can call it Allah, you can call it Bronco, I don't care what you call it, right? I said, Are you perfect? He said, No. I said, Oh, tell me why you're not. He said, Because I have many flaws. Ah. You have many flaws compared to what? Compared to who? What are these flaws? See, someone told me that I was too short compared to somebody who was taller than me. But now my same height is actually I'm too tall compared to someone who's shorter than me. Do you see how this works? So I asked him, I said, What are these flaws? He said, Well, I was born like with this, this, and this, and I was a sinner. I said, Well, hold on now, that's the programming that you've been receiving in this overly expensive Catholic school education that you've been paying for since you were in kindergarten. But I digress, we won't get into that. So now here you are, you believe that you are flawed. You believe that you're less than, you believe that you're unworthy, you believe that you're a sinner, you believe all of these things that the the creator of you, the opposite of what the creator had created and intended for you. So I said, You don't think you're perfect. He goes, No, I don't. I think I'm flawed. I think every human being is flawed. I said, Okay. Do you believe that God is perfect? He said, Yes, absolutely. I said, Do you see the fallacy in what you just said? He goes, What do you mean? I said, How in the world can God be perfect and create imperfection? What the f is that? What is that? Y'all about to make me get started because y'all ain't trying to hear nothing I'm saying. You will sit here and acknowledge that things are perfect, that the creator, whatever you want to refer to it as, is perfect, but yet you think that you are imperfect. Well, then that means the thing that you think is perfect that created you isn't actually perfect. Now you don't know what to say now. You see. So it's one or the other. Either you are perfect because you are the creation of the creator, or the creator isn't actually perfect. So how about this? Why don't we really understand the definition of what it means to be perfect? Perfection is the absence of comparison. Perfection is the absence of comparison. If you are not trying to hear what I'm saying right now, you might as well go ahead and turn the volume down and get your butt off this podcast. You are perfect because there is no comparison to you. There has never been one of you. There never will be another one of you. You know how I know this? I wouldn't looked it up.

117 Billion Humans And One You

SPEAKER_00 8:26

Now, I went to multiple sources. I went and looked it up. They think on average, on average, okay? This is what they think. The National Consensus Bureau, uh uh, the National Bureau of Consensus believes that there have been roughly 117 billion people that have walked this planet. I don't think you grasp really how many individuals that was. If we just look at a billion seconds versus a million seconds, a million seconds is 11.6 years. That's 11 years and six months. Okay. If you were to look at a billion seconds, a billion seconds is 31 years and seven months. Do you see the difference between a million and a billion? Okay, let that grasp. Let the let that marinate. Go ahead, go ahead. You know how you we marinate some chicken, you put some chicken in a bag and you put the seasonings in it. Go ahead and let that go ahead and just let it sit, go let it put in the refrigerator for a little bit. If one billion seconds is 32 years, okay, compared to a million, which is 12 years, there have been 118 billion individuals, and not one of them have had the same fingerprints as you. So hear me when I say this, and I told this young man this. I say, you better start to recognize what the f you are. You better start to realize that you are a child of the most high. You better start to realize that you are the son of the father. You better start to realize that there was no separation between you and it. If it was perfect, then you would be too, because the creator is always inside of his creation. Do you hear what I'm saying? So I told him, I said, you better fall back on how you talk about yourself. And he started telling me, I he went on, this conversation took a hard left. He started telling me about a teacher, and the teacher was constantly making him feel stupid in class, constantly making him feel dumb for asking questions. And here's here's here's what I started to realize. Oh, so you came down in here in this divine essence that you are, and now you're letting this crusty, dusty world tell you what you're not. So the reason why I'm saying this, because some of us, oh actually all of us, part of this game when we came into this existence was to forget what we were. You forgot what you were. You forgot that you were perfect, you forgot that there was no comparison to you. You forgot that you were a one-of-one. You forgot that there was 117 billion that have walked this planet, but there was never going to be another one of you. And if you look at the rest of nature, the same thing is happening. You tell me why all these snowflakes, now I live in Indiana, I've lived in uh New Jersey, I've lived in New York, I've seen snow. I've been to Lake Placid, New York, I've been to the coldness of the cold, I've been to Alaska. I have seen snow. And tell me why each snowflake, each snowflake that has ever fallen, there has never been the same geometrical pattern if you were to look underneath a microscope at it. How the f how in the world? You can't even grasp it. You can't even grasp it. If somebody told you to make 365 different meals in a year, you have the potential to do it. You do. You know why? Because you have this divine essence emanating through you. You have this same thing that doesn't know how to create the same thing twice. You have the same thing in you. You exercise it to some point. That's why you don't wear the same thing every single day. But my point of this is when you start to understand what perfection is, it just means there's no other thing to compare it to. So here's my advice to you. Here's what I'm asking you to do for this walk in your life. Stop looking at what somebody else has or hasn't done and think that has anything to do with you. You are a one-of-one, and you got to remind yourself that. You got to ring your bell. You got to tell yourself, oh my goodness, there's been a never been another one of me. There never will be. So while I'm here, I might as well do it like nobody's ever seen it before. And when I get done and I cross over to the other side and I get with my soul brothers and sisters, they go say, Oh my goodness, you were out there living it. You were out there doing it. We watched you. We didn't see you in person this time, but we watched you from afar. We saw you on social media. We went to your retreat. We experienced you in different ways, shapes, and forms. We saw what you did in this existence. And there was never gonna be another one like you. Do you not realize that this is what your ancestors are saying to you from the other side? I just told somebody, I had somebody tell me the other day, they say, You realize you got so many ancestors, so many soul brothers and sisters on the other side that you can't see in another dimension. They are cheering you on. They over here. They over here with they got the, you know, when you go, look, I went to my first soccer game in Europe uh uh uh last week. It was rowdy, rowdy. I'm talking about they in there were bullhorns and uh anything that made noise. They were rowdy. I said, this is what it's like on the other side with our ancestors. They got the bullhorns and the uh the flutes and the drums, and they were saying, go, go, keep going. You got it. You got something that this world has never seen. So here's why I'm saying this. Because here's what we'll do. We'll project outward and we'll look at other people. We'll look at what we call celebrities. We'll look at LeBron James and Michael Jordan's and Tom Brady's and Timothy Chalametz and all of these people, and we'll worship them. And you know why we love them and we look at them? Because we've never seen anyone like them. But then what do we do? We compare Michael Jordan to LeBron. We'll compare Michael Jordan to Magic Johnson. We'll compare Alan Iverson to Kobe, but we'll keep comparing and comparing and comparing and not realizing this was a one of one. And the reason why we love them is because that one of one that we're seeing is just a reflection of the one of one inside of us. So you can't love something in somebody else that you haven't actually seen inside of yourself, but you're unaware, you don't realize what it is. So, this podcast that I'm doing, the reason why I wanted to do this, I wanted you to realize that you were one out of 117 billion, that there was never going to be a repeat. There was never gonna be another. And do me a favor, I want you to get a with a dry erase marker. Go back home and write on your mirror the number 117 billion, so you can really see how many that is. Go and write it out. Go and put them commas in there. Go put them three commas in so you can see how much it is. 117 billion. And you were the first of its kind. You were the first and only one. And here's the deal: there's gonna be more, but there'll never be another one of you. So now here's my question to you. What would you do differently if you knew there was never gonna be anybody like you? How would you do it? How would you do it? How would you do it? What would it feel like? When you wake up in the morning, you step out of the house, and the world never seen anyone like you, how would it feel? What would it be like? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Don't tell me. Show me. Show me. Can't nobody create content like how you create content. Nobody can lead a retreat like how you lead a retreat. Nobody can wear that dress like how you wear that dress. Nobody can raise those kids like how you raise those kids. Nobody can love this world like how you love this world. Nobody can love you like how you love you. You see how this is working? It's just you. It's always only been you. I

The First NIL Deal Is Divine

SPEAKER_00 17:33

was talking to a client of mine who who uh just got done with college and we were talking about the NIL landscape. NIL stands for name, image, and likeness. Name, image, and likeness. Good God Almighty, stay with me because we've been we're finna bring home here. We were talking about it, and he said, Money, kids get paid now in college. I got an alert on my phone here. I live in Indiana and said that Indiana kids now in high school, you can start making NIL money. So I said, I told Hudson, I said, he's 13. You can be high school in two years. You realize that somebody can start paying you? They can start paying you in high school because the way you play basketball, Ruby, because the way you cheer. Somebody can pay you for this. I was talking to this at this uh athlete, this client that I have who just got down to college, about to go pro. He was like, Yeah, man, he's like, NIL is a real thing, man. He's like, he pulled up to my house and he pulled up in a car. We wasn't driving that in college, that's for sure. But I started to think about it. I said, there is a part of the Bible that said Genesis 126, let us make man in our image and in our likeness. Good God Almighty. If you understand what that really says, what that really means, and I'm not talking about it from only from the faith of Christianity. You can believe in Hindu, Buddhist, I'm talking universal right now. You stay with me. The first NIL deal that you signed and realize what the NIL deal was. That means in college, someone would pay you for your name, your image, and your likeness. Meaning someone's paying you for being who you are, and you get paid for. The first NIL deal that we ever signed was when the creator decided to make us his creation. Not his, its creation. When we were a divine replica of the divine, when we were nothing more than a droplet of the ocean in the form of this little droplet, that was the first NIL deal. And what this book was teaching you when it was saying, let us make man in our likeness and in our image, that means you had all the capabilities, all the faculties, all the infinite nature, all of the divine presence, all of the essence of all that is, all of the I am. You had all of that inside of you as well. That's the first NIL deal. And here's the deal: when you realize that NIL deal, you've been paid. You've been paid, you've been getting to the chicken, as we would say. You've been getting that getty green, you've been getting to, you've been blessed. So now, having the understanding is one thing, but being able to embody it is a whole nother thing.

Upgrade Your Nervous System Daily

SPEAKER_00 20:09

So here's my advice to you. My advice to you every morning that you wake up, you better start to upgrade that nervous system. You better remind yourself really what you are. Don't you walk around with that head down low. Don't you walk around here uh feeling sorry for yourself. I tell my kids all the time, Hudson knows the word. He knows the word when he hears nah, stop negotiating with yourself. He already knows what that means. Don't you start negotiating with yourself and feeling bad and feeling sorry for yourself when things get hard or adversity comes and smacks you in the face. Nah, don't feel sorry for yourself. That's the time that you remember what you are. That's the time that you remember that greater is inside of me than anything that I will endure in this world. I'm I ain't worried about it. I'm not worried about it. So for us on this journey of life, the reason why I'm saying this, the reason why I did this podcast, is sometimes you gotta remember that 117 billion. You gotta remember that. You gotta remember, remember when times are good and when times get tough. Remember that. And don't get me wrong now. Don't get me wrong. You will still have the days where you doubt and you question yourself because that's lodging in your nervous system. And that stuff that you carry in your nervous system may not only be yours, this may have been from four, five, six, seven generations back. Okay? So you're not just carrying your stuff, you're carrying other people's stuff too. But hear me when I tell you this if you wipe away all of that, the essence, the divine makeup, the infinite nature, the spirit, the I am, the Christ, the Christos, all of that is still at the foundation of it. You hear what I'm saying? It's like when you throw a bunch of trash on the floor, and there's a bunch of trash. On the floor. The floor isn't the trash. You just have to remove some of the trash. This is what the healing process is. See, as you heal more, you start to recognize that you were a one of one. And there have been 117 billion. And there will be another 117 billion, but there will never be another one of me. And there'll never be another one of you. So when you wake up in the morning, you go to bed at night, remind yourself and reaffirm yourself of that. Walk like that, talk like that. Don't hesitate before you go to do something. Do it knowing that you were the only one who's going to do it this way. And here's the deal: you ready? You ready? Not everybody's going to be able to receive this one of one. Not everybody's going to be able to. And that's okay too. And just like you can't receive every other everybody else, but that doesn't take away from what they are either. And this is this journey that we're on. We're on a journey to see how much of ourselves that we can see, how much of ourselves can we re can we remember? And when I started to think about this in my own life, I think that's where things change for me. For so long, I wanted to, I felt like I had to be like somebody else and had to look like somebody else, and had to talk like somebody else, and had to, and had to position and present myself like somebody else. And then I stopped playing my man's laws. I started doing the way I want to do it. I started doing it with the way that resonates with me. You know what? I'm going to sit on this couch with my shoes off. I'm going to let my toes crack a little bit. You know how it is, all my people out there, and you got the arthritis in your toes, and you're walking upstairs, even you hear them toes cracking. I want to, I'm, you know the mic may not pick it up, but you better believe that them toes cracking and them white socks on that couch. I want to do it that way. That's the way I want to do it. Why? Why? Why are you going to do it? I don't know. I don't know. Because that's what my soul, what it just feels. It feels aligned. And here's really what alignment is. Alignment ain't nothing more than the recognition that you as one of 117 million and we're going to never be another one of you. When I'm aligned, that's me walking in that energy. This is the way I do it. And in this season, right now, this is what it looks like. It may change tomorrow. It may. And you know what? We have that prerogative. Because you are the only one who's going to do it this way. Do you hear what I'm saying? You may be going on the right side of the road, and all of a sudden, in this season that you're in, you all of a sudden you want to go to the left. You know what? You have that authority, you have that sovereignty, you have that permission because you were the only one who could write the rules. Good God Almighty. You were the only one who could write the rules for your life because there was no one else that could live life the way you lived it. There was never gonna be another one of you. Do you hear what I'm saying? So if that's the case, why don't I just step into it? Why don't I just walk in it? Why don't I just put on my blinders? Why don't I put on my blinders and stop worrying about what somebody else thinks about me? Huh? Hmm? Why don't I just walk the way I want to the way I know that resonates with me? I don't think you hear what I'm saying right now. And now here's what ends up happening. Good God almighty. You start to move at a different pace. You start to move with a different tempo. You start to move just a little bit differently. And that's what we call the golden tempo.

Golden Tempo And The Late Surge

SPEAKER_00 25:29

That's what we call the golden tempo. See, I don't I don't think I don't think you understand what I'm saying right now. Hmm? Good God Almighty. Y'all stay with me if I don't bring tears to your eyes. It's just gonna be me in here crying, and I don't even care. My son had an AAU tournament, and we were up in Fort Wayne. It was like an hour and a half away, so we were in the gym all day. Anybody who does AAU, you know how it is, right? And we had to be, we didn't have games at 8 o'clock in the morning and 10 o'clock, and you're done for the day. We had a game at 8 at 12 o'clock, we had a game at 4 o'clock, and we had a game at 8:30. So you in the gym all day, right? Well, that was the same day that they were running the Kentucky Derby. Now, I don't, I don't watch horse racing, but I know enough about it. And I'm really, I always love horses. One of these days I'm gonna buy a horse, but I'm fascinated with because there's a spiritual element to horses that anybody who's ever been around a horse, you know, they can feel energy. I think they're divine beings. I put them in up in the same category as dolphins, okay. But horses, I've always been fascinated with them. They're they're athletes, like pure athletes, okay. And the Kentucky Derby was being run that day, and I got an alert that this horse won called Golden Tempo. Okay. Now, cool. There have been horses that's won. I'm not in horse racing enough to really know, so it was no big deal. Well, I opened up Instagram and now all this stuff is popping up, right? And all this stuff is popping up, and I'm like, I don't even really like I like horses, but not to the point where it's all over my feed like that. I'm like, why are these horses on my feed right now? Why do I keep seeing this golden temple? Good God. I now know why this was happening. It was a sign from this universe trying to show me, trying to show me what had been coagulating for so many weeks of realizing this divine perfection that exists in all of us. This horse, this horse, first of all, was was was uh uh what was the word? It was the lineage of the horse secretariat. Okay, anybody knows anything about Secretariat? Secretariat was the greatest horse that's ever run, this, that's ever probably ever run, right? And Secretariat would beat the brakes off these horses in the races. I mean, it's written by like 20, 30 horse lengths, something ridiculous, right? And when Secretariat died and they did the autopsy on Secretariat, they realized the reason why Secretariat would always run the last quarter mile faster than any other horse had ever we've ever seen in his existence was because his heart was 22 pounds and the average horse, its heart was eight pounds. His heart was almost three times the size of all the other horses. So we can literally say that this horse had heart. And I started to realize and do more information, do some more research, and I watched the race. I watched the race of Golden Temple, this most recent Kentucky Derby. And of the 19 horses, 18 of them were of the lineage of Secretariat. They were related to him in some way, shape, or form. I said, good God Almighty. So they got the heart, they got some type of uh uh uh ancestral lineage that got passed down from the secretariat. So now as I'm watching the race, Golden Tempo was in last place. I don't think y'all hear what I'm saying. This horse was in last place. It was in last place and it came back in one by a neck. There was a 23 to one odds, and this horse came back and won. Ready? Now, when you start to look at it, and you watch this race, and I watch this race, I had chills, goosebumps, as my brethren says. Sal Balsano, I had chicken skin. I was sitting here watching this. I said, This is something spiritual that's happening right now. What is this? How is this horse in last place? And it comes up to and you watching, and I said, There must be something happening. Either these horses are getting slower and it's getting faster, or is it both? And then it hit me. It hit me. You know, up until that race, as of May 4th, the total earnings that this horse had accumulated was $333,000. It was $333,000. And if you look at the number 333, it says when multiple threes arise, you're getting a big hello from the divine in all of its form. The universe is asking you to witness whatever is happening in your life, whether there seems to be heavenly intervention behind it or not, to accept that this is a fact that the divine has sprinkled itself all within it. And I said, Good God Almighty, we were supposed to run at the race at the same tempo as the golden tempo. When you start to realize the golden tempo was the divine imprint that was infused inside of all of us, it was the recognition that I wasn't just a droplet of water, I was a droplet of water that was the form of the ocean in the form of the droplet of water. I start to realize that I'm not just a spirit, I am the form of the all, the I am, the absolute God, the absolute, whatever you refer to as. I am it in the form of this. And when I start to do this, I start to move at a different pace, at a different race. Now I'm not actually racing other horses. I'm not ever, I'm not even competing against anybody else. I'm realizing it was just me versus me. So now the question is: can I be all of me in this season that I'm in? And if I do that, there was only dubs to collect. I was only going to collect my earnings. I was only going to continue to win. I was only going to end up at the top. Because the divine knows nothing different. That's one thing we got to understand. That which you actually are can't even fathom losing. It can't even comprehend lack. It doesn't even understand what scarcity is. It doesn't know it. But when we tap into this, and now when I told you, I told you that Secretariat's heart was three times as big. What do we gotta do? Sink your butt into your heart space and trust. Trust and know. When I sink myself in this heart space, and I know when I sink in this heart space, I know when I'm in it. I know when I'm in it. Because when I'm in it, can't nobody move me out of it. I don't think, I don't think you're here. You know when you're in that heart space. When you fully sink in that heart space and you walk in divine alignment and you walk in in pure trust, meaning I ain't worried about how something's gonna happen. I'm not worried about how I'm getting to the top of the mountain. I ain't worried about it. I know I'm gonna get there. When I fully do that, ain't nobody gonna move me out of alignment. You can't. You can't. You know, you ever seen it when you're walking down the street like those cartoons and the building's about to fall, and somehow you pick up a coin and then the building misses your head, and a dog comes to get you, and you all of a sudden you jump in a car, you didn't realize that the dog was gonna get you, you closed it. Everything is working according to the way it's supposed to be. When you start to recognize this and you fully sink into your heart space, y'all sit back and watch the way this race ends. You watch how history is gonna show itself. You watch. Watch when it's all said and done. Watch about the way they talk about you. Walk, watch how they talk about the imprint that you've left on this world. Watch what they say about you when you when you leave. When you leave this world, when you leave and cross over to the other side, watch how they talk about you. They're gonna talk about you in the in the same form as the most high because they're gonna say, we ain't never seen anybody like her before. We've never seen anybody like him. He moved with a sense of trust, presence. Everyone he came in contact to, he treated them as equal. He loved them. But most importantly, he loved himself. She loved herself. And we saw that by the way she carried herself. We saw the way she encouraged the children. We saw the way that she loved everybody. You see what I'm saying. Y'all ain't trying to hear nothing I'm saying right now. This is the way they're gonna talk about you. And then you know what they're gonna say? Just like we talk about the pedigree in the background of secretariat, they're gonna look at your children the same way. They're gonna look at your lineage that comes after. You know, you do realize that was so-and-so's son. That was so-and-so's daughter. You realize, oh, that's that's why they're so. You see. So the reason why I'm saying this, because I ain't gonna keep you here all day.

Day One Mindset And Deep Trust

SPEAKER_00 33:56

I know you got things to do. We all got stuff we need to do. You have to understand this golden tempo and the style that this horse ran. It was known for starting in the back of the pack. That's its style. And it finishes with this late surge, the last quarter mile. The last quarter mile. I don't know where you are in your life right now. I don't know what phase you are, and you don't know either. You think you may be in the last quarter mile. You may be just getting started. I know a lot of times we say this. Well, I'm you know, I'm 45 and I'm just, or I'm 50, and I'm just so the f what you have today. That is day one. Why don't you look at it like that? This is day one. We're gonna make the most of it. But first, before you do that, the only thing I ask of you, and I try not to ask too many things of you, but just make sure you realize and remember what you are. You were perfect. There was no comparison. Comparison was absent when it came to you. And really, everything is. Everything is. So that's why we can get rid of expectations and replace them with intentions. Here's where I intend to go, but I don't expect for it to look a certain way. It's gonna be however it's supposed to be, and that's because I trust. I trust everything, because everything still runs even if I'm not here, so there must be some type of order without my control. Hmm. So for you along this journey, just know that you were perfect. Whatever you create, whatever you do, walk in that perfection. It wouldn't another like you. And even when you have a mistake or you mess up, couldn't nobody mess up like you did. Huh? Walk in that. You may mess up and throw things off because nobody nobody was gonna tear this up like how I did it. You see, now you have a different relationship to adversity. You have a different relationship to when things go wrong, when things aren't the way that you want them to be. You start to realize that the divine was sprinkled in everything. And that's what perfection was. There was no comparison. Not to you, not to your life, not the way you did things, nothing. You know, as always, you know, I'm always here to encourage you to keep going. Um the reason why I even started this podcast was for you to see more of yourself. I hope you're seeing yourself more in this season than you did in the last season. But as always, I wish you nothing but the best on the pathway to your results.
