What's up with you? Brought salute to you family? Man. Let's get to it, man, I want to tell you something that it's gonna sting a little bit. You feel me, it's gonna sting a little bit. I don't believe most of us lose ourselves in a crisis. I don't believe you you lose yourself in the crisis. A lot of people, you know, experience crisis situations and we lose ourselves. I don't. I don't believe that we lose ourselves in a crisis. I believe that you lose yourself. I lose myself. We've lost ourselves in comfort. We've lost ourselves in comfort. Yeah, but say it again, I truly believe, without any shot of a doubt, that you've lost yourself in comfort. It wasn't failure, it wasn't a setback, it wasn't criticism it was comfort. Comfort is comfort is quiet you feel me? Yeah what jay Z said? You let that shit bubble quietly? Yeah, comfort is quiet. Comfort. It don't comfort, don't announce itself. It slowly convinces you that good enough is enough. You understand what I'm saying, good enough is enough. Comfort It convinces you that tomorrow is fine. Tomorrow's fine. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah yah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah. Comfort convinces you that one more compromise isn't a big deal. One more excuse won't matter, And before you know it, before you know it, you're wrapped up in comfort, and the leader that is inside of you is gone. Literally, the leader that's inside of you is gone. And it's not because somebody took it, but it's because you slowly, slowly surrendered it day after day after day after day, compromised by after compromise after compromise after compromise. Yeah yeah, And it's crazy, bro, because think about it today, be about a farce. Think about it today, bro. You you won't cook like, you don't cook. You understand what I'm saying out of convenience, right, So you don't cook, And so then we have all these you know, we have all these cravings, and you know we like sugar, and you know we like fast food, and we like burgers, and we like cheeseburgers and pizza, and you feel me don't cook right, And then we got the asonine audacity to order it door dash out of convenience be about a farce. Comfort and convenience is king. You don't want to leave the comfort of your home to go get the shit that we ain't supposed to be eating anyway. Comfort and convenience is king. You understand, and slowly by bit by bit by bit, you realize that you're ordering door dash every day. You feel me that you ain't cooked. And I don't know how long you know what I'm saying, Like, we don't even we don't even like you. You're order We ordered our groceries for picked up. Remember remember, remember motherfuckers used to you feel me. You remember big Mama used to go to the market bro and and and literally shop for her produce. Nella said, hey, man, you gotta relax, you gotta you gotta relax, man, You gotta get up off my door dash. You gotta get up off of me not cooking, man, nah man, it's it's the truth. It's the truth. Remember remember, used to go thump your used to go thump your melons. You understand what I'm saying. And you go get your produce and you go reach You know, I go and reach back to the produce. Ain't nobody touched because they can't reach it? You feel me, And I'm back there looking and grabbing, and you understand what I'm saying and picking my apples one by one, picking picking my yams. You know, I'm picking my potatoes one by one, like I'm literally looking at my potato. You feel me. I'm picking my yams. Can I get to the yams? Sweet sweet yams? You feel me like I'm literally picking my own yams. And now like we order groceries and don't even shop for our own groceries. Comfort and convenience is king. Yeah. And your desire to be comfortable or your need for comfort, a man, it's overtaken you, man, And I'm gonna tell you the truth. Man. Comfort has all ready Comfort has already killed the leader inside of you. And it's not because you stop dreaming. It's not because you stop dreaming. It's because that comfort caused you to stop demanding more from yourself. Let's work one. So I'm hustled harder than the moment. I'm a feast on these streets. Got a revolver I told for these niggas trying to take me off the block where I pointed up daily sit dailies out the bottles smoke. Hey man, say, oh man, we're in July. It is the seventh day of July. When in the second half, Man, it's third quarter, and you steal bullshit? Team? Are you still bullshitting? Hey man? You need a system. You need a system. Go get your minute, man, your system, Man, the book, the planner, Go get it. Let's get busy and let's finish out the year on fire. December will be here soon. Did you hear what I said? December will be here soon. I don't want you to be standing in the same spot that you are right now in December. If you are, I'm gonna respectfully and politely ask you to get the fuck away from me because we're building over here, and we ain't cutting no deals. In my nuther voice, we ain't fucking around. We gotta get better. It's the order of the day. Man. This show is brought to you by the Simple Truth man in many system Www dot the Minimanyo dot com. Man, y'all gonna get it.

All right man, I'm about to I'm about to y'all about to be prepared to be mad at me. Salute the Tata in the building. What's up with your Tata? James says? George says. Guilty is charged? You feel me guilty as charged? Back of the South? What's up with your homies? Salute to you? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. All right, man, let's go. Y'all about to get mad, so let's get mad. This is where you get food. This is where we get food. This is where we get food. We mistake comfort for peace. We mistake comfort for peace. Salute to my brother DP Rocker five one three in a building? What's up? What you brought salute to you, man, It's good to see you this weekend. Family. We mistake comfort for peace. These are not the same thing, you feel me, These are not the same thing. Jameson George said, how do I get that leader back? How do I get that leader back? You feel me? He want to get his swag up back? Bro? What happened? Jameson brus, We've mistaked comfort for peace. You understand what I'm saying, and they not the same thing. Peace comes from alignment. Comfort comes from avoiding discomfort. Did you see what I said? Comfort comes from avoiding discomfort. Peace will say to you, I've handled what needed to be handled. Comfort says, I deal with it later. Yeah. Peace creates freedom. Comfort creates delay, and delay becomes a lifestyle. I just punched on myself. I just punched on myself. Delay becomes a lifestyle. Like you, just look around, man, look around. How many people you know stay in jobs that they're in and they hate. So let me say it again. They stay in jobs that they hate because they're comfortable. How many people stay in unhealthy relationships because they're comfortable. How many of us keep habits that are destroying us because changing feels uncomfortable. You feel me big days. What's up with you? Hommy? Comfort becomes a prison disguised a security. Excuse me? Did you hear what I said? Comfort becomes a prison disguised a security every day, every day. And this is the dangerous part. As far as I'm concerned, this is the dangerous part. Comfort rarely feels dangerous while you're living in it. You feel me comfort. It doesn't feel dangerous while you're living in it. It feels familiar, It feels safe, It feels easy until years past and you realize that your life never moved. Now when I just said that, let me say it again. Comfort rarely feels dangerous while you're living in it. It feels familiar, It feels easy, It feels safe. I ain't coming off of that. It feels safe and easy until years passed and you realize your life never moved. Like your life has not moved in years now. I just punched on somebody with that. Somebody just felt that in your chest. You just felt that. I like, I just punched you in your chest and did and did because you look at your life and you realize that you've been doing the same thing day after day after day after day, and you are still in the same exact spot that you are, or excuse me, right now that you were three four, five years ago, the same exact spot, doing the same exact things. You feel me in the club, doing the same old two step, the same exact things, and nothing in your life has evolved except for comfort. Yeah, all right, let's go deeper. Comfort doesn't just slow your growth, you feel me. Comfort doesn't just slow your growth. Comfort to change your identity. Comfort will change your identity. I said what I said, You become a totally different person. Comfort changes your identity a comfortable A comfortable man becomes dependent on things outside of himself. Huh, he becomes dependent on things outside of himself? What say you? What do I mean? A comfortable man becomes dependent on approval, validation, recognition, likes, praises, permission, so on and so forth. Do you understand that we're in the era where motherfuckers will get up and turn on a camera and say any and everything just to be liked. Motherfucker will do anything for attention. You understand what I'm saying? People turn cameras on themselves and record themselves twenty four seven, three hundred and sixty five in order to get likes. That's nasty, nasty, nasty work. You feel me. Motherfucker will get on the internet and say shit to stay in the good graces of motherfuckers who ain't thinking about you. You understand what I'm saying. People will do anything for approval. Men. I'm talking men. I ain't even talking women and children. I'm talking men. Men will do anything for the for approval, for validation, for recognition, for likes, for praise. I can't even I can't even imagine turning my camera on and allowing motherfucker to follow me twenty for twenty four straight hours. Are you crazy? I grew up. I was raised by niggas who didn't even have cell phones. You feel me, they even have pages they I was raised by man, Nah, I was raised by motherfuckers. You had to wait on understanding what I'm saying. I'm under the old law. Y'all remember them. Hey man, y'all seen Papaye Papa be around here. He'll be around here about two o'clock, you feel you know he usually come through about two. He making his rounds, checking on everybody. You can't call him. He's regimented. He'll be here, when he here, when he get here. I was raised by them, So this following me twenty four seven. Man, I got people think I'm crazy because you text me and it goes days without a response. You call me, It go days without a response to guy. My brother will tell you, you'll call me. I might call you, dare after tomorrow. The guy. It ain't no disrespect, bro. You know that. Everybody, the people who know me. No, it ain't no disrespect. I'm under the old law. Bro. I was raised by them, niggas that didn't have no cell phones. I was raised by them, niggas you couldn't access you feel me. I got that emy, I got that popa in me. If it ain't if it ain't my wife, my children, you feel me, it ain't people who it ain't no distressed signal. Man. You might get a response today, you might get a response tomorrow. Shit, I got, man, I go days without responding the text messages. A comfortable man becomes dependent upon things that are outside of hisself. Roval, validation, recognition, likes, praise, permission. He stops asking what standard should I live by, and he starts asking himself, what will people think? Man? That's nasty work. That's external control. And once your life depends on external validation, then you've surrendered your leadership. Jameson, did you hear what I said? Once your life becomes dependent upon external validation, then you've you've surrendered yourself leadership. Period, It's over with. Leaders are not driven by applause. They're not driven by applause. They're driven by conviction. You are driven by conviction. You feel me, man, I'm telling hey, quick, QUI, what's up with you? Salute the quick, QUI the god, jelly Bean, what's up with you? Homies? Saluted jelly being in a building? What's going on with it? Man? Leaders are driven by conviction. I'm sorry, I didn't I feel like I didn't got dark? You feel me, it's don't got dark And everybody's sitting here looking like with their eyes wide open. Now. Leaders are driven by a conviction, man. They're not driven by applause. A man who constantly needs approval all right, man. A man who constantly needs approval eventually is gonna compromise himself. He's gonna compromise his standards in order to keep receiving it. You feel me, If you need approval, you need external approval, you are going to compromise yourself in order to keep receiving it. You're going to have to compromise yourself. You understand what I'm saying. And if you can be compromised as a man, if you can, if you can be compromise, then you can be compromised. A man who constantly needs approval will eventually compromise his standards, you feel me, in order to keep receiving it. Salute the taste, hal over on the rum. But she said, we rumbling in this bitch, saluting my sister. I've seen that list too, since I'm gonna repost it. Great work, great work. Yeah. Man, you're gonna you're gonna you're gonna compromise your standards. Man, You're gonna you're gonna avoid conversations. You're gonna avoid difficult decisions. You're gonna avoid accountability. You're gonna side with some sucker ship. You feel me, You're gonna side and approve with approve some sucker ship. You understand, You're gonna you're gonna side with people that are on sucker ship. That's gonna happen. You're going to compromise your own standards. When you need approval and you're gonna avoid accountability. Man, You're gonna avoid hard conversations. You're gonna avoid difficult decisions. And you know why because responsibility is uncomfortable and we're operating from a place of comfort. And this is the truth. This is the real truth. Leadership like real leadership. And I'm talking about leadership and I'm really talking about leading yourself. That shit begins where your comfort ends. It begins where your comfort ends. The moment you choose what is right over what's easy, then you are becoming a leader again. Jameson, did you hear what I said? Bro? The moment you choose what is right over what's easy, then you're becoming a leader again. You asked the question, Bro, you said, how do I get that leader back? You get that leader back when you choose what's right over what's easy and you stay there and you stay there. So what's the correction. The correction is you stop chasing comfort. You stop and you stop chasing comfort. That's the correction. Stop chasing comfort and you start embracing responsibility. Responsibility is not punishment. Responsibility is ownership, and ownership changes everything. You feel me like a leader you're gonna wake up and you're gonna say, all right, what needs me today? What needs me today? What do I gotta get done today? A person operating from comfort gets up and says, what feels good today? And that's the difference. What feels good today? You feel me? And that's why you motherfuckers get high because that feels good, and you're choosing to feel good versus what's right. Was not trying to punch on you. I wasn't trying to punch on you. But when you wake up and you give way to your vices and you wake up and you say, all right, man, I'm choosing what feels good over choosing what's right. You feel me? Jameson said, appreciate it. I've been ducking some important things like Mayweather duck and punches me too. Brother, You ain't the only one I'm trying to tell you, brother, thing about this black coffee club shit? Is I be talking to myself? I just be allowing y'all in the conversation. You don't hear me though. You don't hear me though. A leader wakes up and says what needs me today? What needs my attention? What needs my focus? What needs my energy, what needs my skills, what needs my one hundred percent focus today, not what feels good today you feel me? Yeah. A leader will understand and live by a discipline over desire. Standards come over your feelings. Responsibility is over your excuses. Because leadership is not built. It isn't built through convenience. It's built through consistency. Every difficult decision you make strengthens your leadership. Everyone you hear that, Bro Jameson, you hear that. Every difficult decision you make strengthen your leadership. Every excuse is gonna weaken your leadership. And I'm talking about your ability to lead yourself. Every difficult decision is gonna strengthen it. Every excuse is gonna weaken it. Every standard you uphold is going to strengthen it. Every compromise you make is gonna weaken it. And that's why we've created the movement of raising the standard. You have to raise your standard. You gotta raise your standard because raising the standard requires you to leave comfort behind. You can't be comfortable comfortable when you are raising your standard. It's impossible. Man. I'm gonna close this morning out. Man, I'm gonna close it. I'm gonna close it with a question I I do not a motivational question. It's more of a mirror. You feel me. What has comfort already cost you? What has comfort already cost you? Man? Changed this said, I'm playing it back for my brothers in the group chat. I appreciate it, bro as a cost of your health. Man, it's a cost of your discipline, it's a cause of your marriage opportunities, has a cost of your business, your influence, your confidence, relationships. Like, you gotta be honest with yourself. Be honest with yourself because comfort always sends a bill. It always sends a bill. It always sends an invoice. It just don't send it immediately, you feel me. And the thing about it is like one day, man, you're gonna wake up and it's gonna be in in that bill. The invoice is gonna be sitting right there in front of you. So as for today, though, as for today, we dance. You feel me? Ask for today? My brother said, not pulling the trigger when I should I should have and missed opportunities. You feel me, yeah? Yeah, So as for today, man, stop negotiating with comfort. Stop it. Man, Stop negotiating with comfort. Stop waiting until you feel like it to do the shit you know you're supposed to do. Stop choosing the easy shit over what's necessary. Raise your standard, take responsibility. Man, Lead yourself. You feel me no more being a bush, No more bullshit, man, no more bullshit, you know, bullshit. Motherfucker. Get up here and try to lead people and have an inability to lead yourself. Like I tell you, somebody will come in your space and try to tell you what to do, and they ain't made their bed this morning, they ain't flost they teeth. You'll stand I'm talking about like I'm man, Like I'm stupid. Man, I got a hard time listening to motherfucker with tartar build up. Man, apology, My apologies to you, nigga, you got tartar on your teeth. If you don't get the fuck out my face now, it's hard for me to listen. Man, it's hard. It's hard. It's hard. Motherfucker tell you what to do and they ain't. But that ain't got damn made their bed today. Mm hmm. Lead yourself, Lead your self. Quickly said, they can't or won't practice what they're trying to preach them. That's a fact. You gotta lead yourself because here's the truth. I want to leave you with. Comfort has never built a great person. Comfort has never built a great person. Responsibility has, discipline has, standards have. So don't ask yourself, how can I be more comfortable? You feel me, ask yourself, what responsibility have I been avoiding? Because comfort felt easier? And that's where your next level is hiding. Man, That's where it's hiding. Man. Around here, we don't protect comfort. We protect our standards and we're building man. Break by Briack by break by Briack. Salute to you all.
