Halfway through the first month in twenty and twenty six January, You understand what I'm saying, a month of intentional awareness. If you're following our self mastery blueprint. How are y'all doing? Man? Like? Literally, how you doing? Like? How are you really doing? You see the thumb nail? How are you really doing so far? Like? How you really doing twenty twenty six? How are you really doing so far. I'll share DP rocket dropped. The five went through Cincinnati, Ohio in the building, what's up with your family? I am man, I Am, I Am, I am. And it's almost like I've I feel like I've rubbed the genie out of a lamp. You understand what I'm saying. Like I feel like I rubbed. I've rubbed a lamp and the genie popped out. And it's almost like I've been really pushing for awareness, awareness, awareness, awareness, right, Like I want to be aware. You can't fix what you want face and all that stuff I've been saying, and so like I have things that are just kind of being revealed to me. You know what I'm saying, And it's just kind of like, okay, and here's that genie. You understand what I'm saying. Here's that genie. So I'm working very hard at not trying to fix things because I am a I am a I am a results person, like I am a resolution person. Probably if it was a word, I'd call it a resolutionist, like I'm a resolutionist. I wonder if that's a word, it's resolutionists, a word like I am a resolutionist. If it's not a word, it's a word. It's a word from here on out, Like I want to I want to know why am I? Why am I googling resolutionists For those of y'all who don't know, A resolutionist is someone who makes or acts on resolutions. So it is a word, Thank y'all. I feel like i'm. I feel like i'm I'm I'm stupid. But a resolutionist is someone who makes or acts on resolutions, often referring to people embracing personal growth, especially in UH anti retirement or post career phases, but also historically to Scottish UH covenator covenor covenators supporting military actions against Cromwell. Okay, I am trying to go all that deep, but I'm a reserve. So I feel like i'm a I feel like I'm a resolutionist, like literally, like I want to find the resolution salute. The big day is unking down in the building, b BCU family in the building. What's up with you, homie? DP rock Can said, great work. Great word, man, I thought so when it popped in my head, like man, I don't know if that's a word or not, but that's what I feel like I am. Man. I feel like I'm really truly trying to work on resolving issues and reaching resolutions. That's my that's my default mode. And so in this space of in this space of becoming more aware, becoming more aware, I realized that I can't push myself to try to fix stuff like this is just about information. So it's just about me collecting data about myself. Happy Hour Conversations podcast, What's up with you say? At the top of the day, Big days, Big days? You feel me though, like I'm literally trying to like I always want to just jump in and start fixing stuff. And so I realized that I have to chill out and I'm just collecting data. You understand what I'm saying. But we're halfway through twenty twenty six. I mean, excuse me, halfway through the first month of twenty and twenty six. And this is the this is the month, you know what I mean, the way I'm attacking it, right, this is the this is the month where we're setting the tempo for the year. Right, which is why, once again, in a self mastery blueprint, we're starting with intentional awareness, becoming aware of ourselves, which is why this week I've tried to we are shining the light. Not trying to We're not trying to do shit. We are shining the light on your life roles and what the thing, what are you really spending your energy on? You understand what I'm saying, because it's important for us to do that, and think about it. When is the last time you sat down and assessed all the roles that you play in your life? You feel me? Like? Think about that, Like, when is the last time you sat down and literally assessed your life roles? I got to answer for you, motherfucker. Never you understand what I'm saying. You've never sat down and said down, all right, Well, I'm a mother, I'm a wife, I'm a sister, I'm a cousin and my aunt you feel me. I'm a church member, I'm an employee, I'm a business owner. You've never done it. You see what I'm saying, and so I'm looking at it like you gotta start there. You understand what I'm saying. You gotta start there because people be looking at stuff like people be looking at life right, and they'll be like, you know, right, wrong and different. Rather you judging it yourself to the positive. Because I happen to know a lot of people that overemphasize their self importance and they overemphasize their success, right. And I also know people who downplay themselves entirely too much and underemphasize their success and what it is that they're accomplishing, right, And how can you gain how can you literally gauge success in your life if you do not have an active account of your life roles you feel me, And that's where shit be, That's where shit becomes and balanced in our life if you really truly think about it, right, Because you could be successful as fucking your professional career, and in your professional career, everybody love you, and motherfuckers is killing motherfuckers will break their neck to sit next to you, and shit, and well you know, you get all the accolades and all the shit in the world right in your professional career. But that's one piece, you understand what I'm saying, Because then how are you doing as a father? Could be killing shit professionally, right, And if I ain't shit as a daddy and I got a strange relationship with my kids, and my kids is fucked up, you know what I'm saying. And and you know got all kind of you know, daddy issues and whatnot? Right? How successful am I? Like? How successful am I with regard to just life? You feel me? You gotta have a You gotta have an active account of your life role. It's like I'm killing shit professionally. Personal life shit. Kids is fucked up. Kids got all kind of uh daddy issues because I'm locked in and focused on my career and I'm locked in and focused on being amongst the who's who you feel me in my respective field or in my respective community, and I'm one of those ones in my community. But my children aren't right. My children aren't Okay, you understand what I'm saying. I have an estranged relationship with my family, have an a strange relationship with my wife. I have a strange relation relationships with you know, the people that truly love me. Yeah, saluted my brother, big Dad's kunk it doll man. I appreciate that, bro, I really truly appreciate that family. Thank you. I love you for that, bro. Thank you. Kid says I've been there professionally, I was the standard and my personal life was in shambles. I'm so grateful for balance and alignment. Now you feel me, But you gotta have those but you gotta have those. And it's it's and it's the it's the pursuit kia like like like, it's the pursuit of balance and alignment. You understand what I'm saying. It's the pursuit of balance and alignment. Because the problem, one of the problems for us with human nature and just in modern times period, our thing is just the feeling that we have arrived at something. Right, That's like one of the things I hate. I hate this, and I hate this with a passion. You feel me and I can admit it here. I hate this. I hate when people say that they're healed from trauma. You understand what I'm saying. I hate that. I hate that. It's like addiction that people say, you know, I've recovered, you feel me Like, no, bitch, you're an addict. You understand what I'm saying. You're an addict. It doesn't go anywhere. It's a it is a process. Life is an ongoing process. You feel me when you're when you are healing from a traumatic experience, right, It is an ongoing process. And coming from where we come from, having endured the things we've endured. Salute to the homy New fab boy fitness in a building. What's up with you, Broke? Happy birthday to you brother and salute to you family. Happy celebration of life, bro salute to you. Yes, indeed, live it up, bro live it up when you're coming from where we come from, Like we have all these dramatic traumatic experiences and whatnot. You don't, You don't. Healing is an ongoing process and you have to actively engage with the healing process. You feel me. And what happens with people who don't, who aren't actively engaged in the healing process. Those are people that are slaves to their to their triggers. You feel me. You ever dealt with a person or been around a person or some of y'all might be the people that are you are slave to your triggers? You feel me? Carry banning a bild it? What's up with you, homie? Boxing and barbecue in the building. Salute to your family, Like you're a slave to your people be slaved to their triggers because they think that just because they're not currently in a situation, and they might have thinking that they've gotten past the situation now, they don't have to actively engage in the healing process. But you're a slave to your triggers. You feel me, so like you know, you go, you instantly go into the different modes when something happens or somebody says something, or you see something, or certain times of the year or whatever the case may be. Like, no, man, you're you're you're sloppy with the pots when with regard to engaging in the healing process, you feel me. There are things that like like I'm gonna speak for myself, and I'm gonna speak very candidly, and I'm gonna speak very authentically, right, Like I have a ridiculous affinity and love for my grandmother. Right. My grandmother was my girl. And so in nineteen ninety nine, I was on Christmas break, holiday break, and I came home one evening and I was actually out kicking it with the mother of my oldest daughter. So I was kicking it with her, and I got home a little bit before midnight, I believe it was. And I came in the house and my grandmother was on the floor. You understand what I'm saying. My grandmother had had I picked my grandmother up off the floor and later on her bed, and I realized that my grandmother was dead, white, like she had passed away. You feel me, So to come find my grandmother on the floor and to pick her up, put her on the bed. You know what I'm saying, Call nine one one and you know, get my aunt up and all of that stuff like that is an experience that I'll never recover from. You understand what I'm saying. There is no being healed from that, So I have to actively engage in healing. You understand what I'm saying. The same thing with my father, seeing my father and losing my father, like, that's not you don't heal from losing your parents. You'll never be the same again. You understand what I'm saying. So that's not so to think that you actively I mean, excuse me to think that you can arrive and you can heal from that. That's not possible. You have to actively engage in the healing process. And when people don't engage in the healing process, you understand, that is a that is a in my opinion, that is an ultimate form of self neglect. It's an ultimate form of self neglect. Like you just don't heal from certain things. You have to actively engage in a process and healing is a journey. It's just like self mastery. It's a journey, y'all, Like it's really a journey. And I and don't get me wrong, I'm not take tay you, what's up? What you love? Salute to you. I'm not this ain't no coming in here being preachy and none of that. This is me really checking in what you are. And for the record, none of you mofos have told me how you doing? And I asked you, how are you really doing? Nobody has said, hey, I'm doing good, I'm doing well. I'm not doing good, I'm struggling. I fuck, none of y'all has said that, just for the record, And I said, mofos, because I ain't want to call you a motherfucker today. You understand what I'm saying. But I asked all the question. You still haven't answered the question, and the question is actually on the screen. How are you really doing so far? Yeah, Winston Lee said, I held my pops until he passed, and nothing has been the same since. Bro, Like nothing, Bro, you feel me like like people don't understand, Like food don't taste the same, sad my grandmama passed. Man, food don't taste the same. Yeah, yeah, yeah for an sniper. Man Salu homme, he said, it's a good day, Junior. How are you? Bro'm solid man? Thank you for asking. Bro'm solid. I'm solid. You feel me. I'm solid, man, I'm solid. I'm worried about y'all for real. I'm worried about y'all for real. I'm solid though. Yeah, I'm solid. I'm solid. I am I have literally immersed myself for al sniper, I've literally immersed myself in intentional awareness. You feel me, you feel me? I have I have immersed myself in intentional awareness, and so I am just collecting data on myself. Bro. My sister kids said, I'm feeling amazing. Gratitude is my steady state, daid, Yes, Lord, a constant status, A constant state of gratitude, A constant a constant state. Tay Tayte said, I'm maintaining. Yeah, I'm maintaining. Tay. I'm good. I'm solid. Thank you, thank you. Bedad said, I woke up with the muscle saying, that means that means he's still in the fight. You feel me, that means he's still in the fight. I don't want to I don't. But my thing is with this check in and I'm and as you know, I'm gonna do these periodically because and I have to do these periodically because it's a lot. Like there's a lot, you know what I mean. You come in here and we interact with each other, and it's a lot. Well, it's a lot for me. I can't speak for you all, but it's a lot for me to come in and engage you all in this capacity and to not have mindless conversations with you all. You understand what I'm saying. Just had a conversation about picking my grandmother up off the floor. It's not a mindless conversation, you know, talking about old school. When Saleis came in here and talked about holding his positivity passed away, he took his last breath. These ain't this, ain't this, Ain't this ain't lighthearted mindless conversation. You understand what I'm saying. Tivy two said, I'm doing well, happy, working my way back into the into the swing of things. Yes indeed, yes indeed, tifty two keep swinging, it keeps swinging. It's I'm just really uh in this space where I just really and I really feel enlightened, man, But I'm gonna tell you the truth though, I'm very sensitive to things, right, and I am extremely because of this space of awareness, and you gotta be careful with this, y'all, and any of you are who are also entered into this space of awareness. Salute to everybody that already picked up your Simple Truth Minute Manual book and planner and has been doing the work in the book and planner. The book and the planner are available over at the Minute Manual dot com, or you can go over to Juniortruth dot com and follow the shop and it's over there. But those of us who are embarking on this right, I'm very sensitive to energy, man, Like it's never I don't know, man, I'm very very sensitive to energy. And I just really pay attention to stuff. You know what I'm saying. I'm talking about the looks on people's faces, the way people move when people pick stuff up, set stuff down, the way people hold doors, breathing patterns like I'm just paying I'm really sensitive to energy, you understand, and I've been I've kind of charged myself with the responsibility of I have to remove myself from energy that's not in alignment with where I'm trying to be. It's weird, man, I know it's weird and it sounds crazy, But me really trying to focus on myself and really get in alignment with myself, I become extra sensitive to everybody else, to other folks. Energy is crazy, man, It's crazy. But so that's kind of where I am. But like I said, like I worry about you are because we get into the grind and we just you know, we hustling and muscling up, but you don't really take the time to tap in with yourself and check in with yourself. How you doing halfway through January? How you doing, how you feeling? You know what I'm saying. How's everything around you? Yeah? Jared ol Evan Green said, Yes, energy is one things I discerned, and I discerned it strongly, bro like strongly, you feel me, like very strongly. And one of the things I used to do. I'm gonna tell y'all, I used to if I engage you and your energy is heavy, then I used to take it on as my personal my personal goal to help raise your vibration. I'm a resolutionist, you feel me, So I want to help raise your vibration and help you work through that energy like that's what I used to do. And it's everybody like it could be anybody you know, family, friends, relatives, people, but of my personal life, it's strangers. If I pick up on your energy and your energy is anything less than you feel me, anything less than stellar, then I would take it on as a personal goal to help raise your energy level. I don't do that shit no more. Wholly on our home. Fuck that. You understand what I'm saying, man, Fuck that. I will remove myself quick pivot. It's over with. You understand what I'm saying. Man, I will remove myself quick fast, in a hurry. Man, I am not here because what is up happening? If for me, what I find myself in is I find myself in being a motherfucker's whipping post. You understand I'm talking about If your energy ain't on shit and I'm saying, oh, man, come on, man, let's raise the vibration. Man, it's nah, life's good by about and I'm trying to raise your vibration. And you still want to be like e or on Winnie the Pooh. Fuck you you gonna say what I'm saying like man, I ain't on that, like I ain't on that. Fuck you, I can't do it, and I'm not here to be your individual personalized six foot five inch whipping posts. It's over with you feel me. That shit dead in the water. I'm not finna be your whipping posts. You don't get to just throw your energy, throw your energy blows at me. Never think about that. Think about people like you. Go engauge them and they don't have the energy, ain't good and you're trying to help pick that energy up, but they have made it up in their mind and decided that they literally want to be where they are feeling exactly what it is that they feel. And you punish yourself and you put yourself in the ringer by subjecting yourself to that. You feel me. Look, kids just said I feel amazing. You understand what I'm saying. So imagine her encountering somebody with the e or energy and she trying to help bring them up to get in what they what they what they what they feel? You know, give them what they uh, some energy and some news that they can use. And she talking about and they talking about they still want to stay there, and she gonna subject herself to that you out your mind? Fuck you you want to be down and out man, she is you got to be it by yourself in twenty twenty six, you got to be it by yourself. You feel me, I'm an I am. I am trying to resolve issues. If you have an issue, I'm a guiver. I'm I'm I'm black mcguiver. You feel me, I am trying to. I am. Let's resolve your issues. If you are not trying to reach your resolution, then you gotta you gotta, you gotta, I got. I have to get off from around you because I don't want to sit here and just deal with in walla in self pity. You feel me, that's one of the that's one of my nannies words, waller. Don't be wallering around, y'all weren't allowed to waller around. Member, You couldn't wallow around on the couch. Don't be wallering around on the couch, you feel me, don't be wallering around walling around on the flow. Now, I'm not trying to waller around in yourself pity. That's over with. Let's reach your resolution so we can get back to feeling amazing. You understand what I'm saying, so we can get back to feeling amazing.

I mean, I'm like, all right, bro, I see I'm gonna see you know what I'm saying. So now every time I see dude, like every literally every time I see him, you feel me every time I see him. He got the he gotta he got good energy. You understand what I'm saying. His energy is better even in the stress of working at Dollar General during the holiday season in the middle of a recession. You if motherfucker's in there Christmas shopping at Dollar General, he in there. You know it's y'all, y'all know it's only one person in there that work at the time. I think that's they. I think that's the rule that's in their policy and procedures. One motherfucker work at the time. But every time I see him, he has that that energy and good better better energy. And I'm telling you, man, you have to check in on yourself. Like literally, you gotta check in on yourself. You have to be intentional with checking in on yourself throughout this journey, like check in with yourself. And I think, once again, like I said, I thought, we damn there halfway through the first month of January. I think it's a good opportunity to check in. And it's the middle of the week. You know, I like, I like clean cuts. You feel me? I like I like clean cuts. It's hum day, you feel me? I like I like clean cuts. So let's check in. Pholish student, there's what's up with your homies? Salute to you. But you gotta stay gotta stay down in to yourself. You feel me when you know when you feel like you ain't your best? Why you understand what I'm saying, When you feel like you ain't at your best? Why when you feel like you're feeling something? Why? What is it? What's going on? What am I feeling? You feel me? And work yourself, work yourself to a resolution, take a moment from performing and really check in with yourself. And it's like, we don't even be struggling because of a lack of discipline. You understand what I'm saying. We be struggling because we never take the time to check in with ourselves, you understand. And how are you to figure out if something's wrong with you? If you don't ever stop and check in with yourself, then you just keep going. No, you gotta stop the check in. So almost like it's like, uh a, a plugging in your plugging in your uh uh uh your phone into a charger. Ain't that amazing? How we treat these electronics and shit? And we be treating this stuff better than ourselves. We go put gas in your car. You know what I'm saying, plug your I I wish, I wish to hell, y'all mother of y'all. Won't even lead a house without that charger, y'all say, I'm lying, y'all won't even lead a house without that fucking phone charger. So how so how dare you not take some time to check in with yourself? You feel me? See how you doing? How you really doing? You know? What I mean. You got how you doing, and then you got how you really doing? You feel you feel me? How dare you check in? Man? Tivy Tuo said, some days you gotta work your way back. Check in. Yeah, check in, y'all, check in with yourself, just check in, literally check in. Now. I'm gonna say this with regard to what we're doing here into the work, I am so like I told y'all before, and I was telling you at the end of twenty five that I am so excited about the work that we're doing. Like, I'm so excited about self Mastery, I'm so excited about the content. I'm so excited about the products. You know what I mean. I'm still a little shitty with y'all. I'm gonna I ain't gonna hold you because those of us that are doing this, this this seven day window where we're monitoring, you know, our time and looking at how we spend our time, y'all still haven't gone over in part and not purchase it's actually free. Y'all. Haven't gone over and downloaded that tool that I created for y'all. I don't know, I don't, I don't like, don't I don't know if I got to, like, do I gotta grab y'all give you an Indian burn? Like I don't understand what i'd be having to do to get y'all to actively engage in this process that we're doing. Like like I just don't. I don't understand, Like y'all come in here and look at me. But you have to actively engage or you're not gonna get nothing from this. You feel me, like, stop just coming in here and listening to me talk. You feel me. You gotta stop bullshitting, like you have to stop bullshitting and you gotta really actively engage, you feel me. Those of us that do have the planners and have the book, we should be having it. You should have that first section filled out. You understand like we should be actively working on filling out the first section of the section one of the Self Mastery Blueprint, the January Intentional Awareness. Take the time and fill that out. It's worksheets. We used to love workshets when it was little. It's worksheets, but it's worksheets about yourself. You feel me, And I'm gonna tell the truth on you called me. Uh tef you called me. He got us. He ordered this planner got his planning in the mail. He just called me on the hubble. He said, hey, bro, man, it's Planner. Dope as fuck. Bro. I'm like yeah, and he started going off like, Bro, this planner is dope. Bro. He like, Man, these activities in here, this blueprint, Man, it's stuff that's in here. Bro, Like this shit is dope. This is what the man said to me. He said, Man, this is dope. This is dope. And I'm like, man, I appreciate it. And he just start going off about the things that are in the planner, what is causing you to think, what it causes you to look at? And how we need this, like we need this, man, Like we need to work on ourselves. Like man, we get up every day and the whole premise behind the whole world is to keep us distracted. Everything distracts us, you understand what I'm saying. Yeah, And even the even the habit tracker that's in there, like y'all not tracking y'all habits. And I know y'all not even y'all not even engaging with it because y'all didn't even tell y'all didn't even say nothing or asked no questions about I'm sorry. I just knocked my mic down. No questions about the habit, and I haven't even been able to get there because, you know, to be honest with y'all, y'all want engage in with the content. Y'all want to engage with the content. But we have a habit tracker in there, and it's it's uh, it's habit h A B B I T. And it's an acronym. You feel me. How actions become belief in time? How actions become belief in time, that's our habits. It's our actions that are going to become our belief in time. Man, I'm telling you that this this ship, this ship that we're doing is dope. It's dope. Yeah, so we gotta continue, King Vonnie said. He said, the work I did on myself in twenty five is paying dividends, right, and keep that shit going, bro, keep the momentum going, keep it going. But that's just it, like literally, just just literally just really truly work on yourselves, kid said, Breaking goals in the quarters has been a game changer for me. You bless me with that one, Bro. I didnet work throughout the planner already. Hey man, I'm telling you. We gotta, man, we just gotta do the work. So that's all I'm saying, man, is just we really truly gotta do the work. And that's the thing that concerns me because like in me working on myself and seeing the work that's being done, I don't want you to miss it, like I don't want you to miss it, like I do not want you to miss it. I don't like we miss We always tarty to the party, We always miss everything, like we just be missing stuff. And I'm I'm gonna say something to you all that is going to be extremely brutally honest. Right, Black folks, we always tarty to the party, We always tardy to the party, and we always we don't ever really take ourselves seriously, and we have allowed the world to trick us into believing that all we're good for is entertainment and fucking. They want to fuck you and they want to be entertained by you. That's it. But when it comes to you actually thinking, when it comes to you actually doing some shit, when it comes to you actively collecting, collectively working, it's over with. When it comes to us wanting to be, wanting to be, wanting to have you know, our families, wanting to raise our children to be productive, wanting to be educated, wanting to build businesses, wanting to build our own infrastructures and support ourselves. Over with, you feel me? Thoma says. If you are easily offended, derailed, or distracted, it means you can be easily manipulated, which means you lack self control. And what we do every day we get up and we're easily distracted, easily offended, derailed, you know what I'm saying, easily easily set off. Emotionally, you feel me? Everything's emotional. Look at all you look at social media. Look at how passionately and and and emotionally our people are arguing over shit that does not matter. None of this shit matters. Do you feel me? None of this shit matters, and motherfuckers go off the chart talking about shit that has absolutely no bearing. Listen to people talk about sports. Then people cuss each other out, call each other every every name under the sun, screaming and yelling, raising their blood pressures over sports. Man, It's ridiculous. But we have not done the work that we need to do on ourselves and every day, And I'm saying you ain't gotta I'm you ain't gotta immerse yourself in self mastery. I've I've like, that's what I spend my days doing. You understand what I'm saying, because that's, you know, has become my business model period. Right. But salute the ub about a fence and the building. What's up with you, bro? But you don't have to do that. But what I am saying is you have to spend some time throughout the day on yourself. You gotta spend some time on yourself. You gotta spend some time on yourself, and you gotta spend some time with yourself. And if you're not doing that, man, then then then then you are essentially behind schedule. And the other thing that I was saying about being tardy to the party is and I'm talking about myself and I'm a i'm a i'm a i'm a I'm gonna pop my ship for a second. Right, So I'm talking to you all about this minute, manual. I'm telling you all that we're gonna do a retreat this year. You got the book, you got the planner, you got the show like you got all this. You got the us working through the black Coffee Club Live, using the using the minute Manual as a as a blueprint, if you will. It's inspiration for the shows. And I'm telling you that there are people who are going to pick this up and they gonna take off with it, and it's gonna be into a whole different stratosphere because it's dope, and we're gonna be sitting here looking like, damn, really wish I'd have took the time to do the work. I really wish I would have took the time to do the work. And so that's my biggest fear, man, because I'm a I'm a I'm a I'm gonna say this, man. I love my people. That's it. I love my people and and and my affinity is is for my people. But man, we gotta focus, and we gotta lock in, and we gotta lock in on something, and we gotta lock in on In my opinion, it should be us better than ourselves so that we can be productive and then we can raise the social economic status of our folks. And if that ain't the and if that ain't the vibration you own, then I'm not really for you, And these conversations ain't really for you. But it's an active process. You can't just come in here and just sit around and look at me. You understand, like, you can't just come in here and just sit around and look at me. You gotta actively get involved period. Be about a for instance. You better lock in quick too, all this ship shifting, all of it. King Vody said, he said, just be better, sleep better, eat better, talk better, plan better, just just think better. You feel me. You gotta make the You gotta make the right thing the easy thing. Gotta make the right thing the easy thing. But ultimately, man, stop stop, I don't know, man, just just stop not taking yourself seriously. And that's my when I say I'm concerned, that's what I'm concerned about. I'm concerned about us not taking ourselves seriously. You gotta take yourself seriously. You gotta pour into yourself. You gotta invest in yourself. You gotta work on yourself and investment. It ain't just money. I'm talking time, energy, effort. Like yeah, you feel me. Like once again, I put that free tool up over there for you all to go into my shop and download that that minute manual Matt L A T. And that is your matrix and awareness tool and y'all. Not y'all haven't gone over and invested the time to go download some free shit. You feel me, haven't taken the time. I ain't a go download some free shit, Mahari, you ain't been in here about two weeks. I can't wait to cut some out because I created so he came in here when I released the book. The day to release the book release, he came in here asked for something free. So I got something free, and he ain't took his monkey ass over there and downloaded it. You feel me. So that's the stuff that concerns me because we don't take ourselves seriously. You feel me. But you know what you will do. You go spend your money on some bullshit and I'm gonna leave it there. You'll go spend your money on some bullshit, but you won't invest ten minutes into going over and downloading the tool that will help you assess, help you assess your time and where you currently are in life. Salut to my brother, my heart Nation Sports podcast. He in here talking about. I've been listening. He was in here stalking. That's why his voice sound like you a little stalker. I got something free for you over at the shop. Go over there and download that Mahari. But literally, I need us to begin to take ourselves seriously. Man, Go take ourselves seriously. Go and take ours begin to take ourselves seriously. And that is my mind check in for the first half of the first month of twenty twenty six, halfway through January.
