It was so powerful that I needed to extend it into today, as I promised. So we want to go back, man, and you know, in my twister voice, we want to put the black magic on the tires and get the wax off chrome. You know what I mean. We want we want to put the polish on this conversation because for me, it is absolutely imperative that we dedicate ourselves to improvement. We dedicate ourselves to improving, and there's no way for me that I would feel well telling you that, hey man, we need to be improving X, Y and z, and then not actually give you a workable plan of action in order to make those said improvements.

Yeah, so now we might see and I can see what everybody see what they think. So I'm trying to get myself to getting my thoughts to get there for the very next day. So yesterday, man, we talked about the importance of man, how you got to ride for yourself man, And we talked about by way of establishing and the importance of personal standards. And I gave you my top five reasons why you should even have personal standards in the first place. And the fact of the matter is the thing that we know and if we're honest, we can have an honest conversation, and within that honest conversation, we can say that personal standards are very few and far between. Like people like we like to act and we like to you know, pretend like we on top of these things. But as we know, a lot of us do not have personal standards. And if we do have personal standards, we allow those standards to be compromised almost on a daily basis. And that's the truth, you know what I mean. If we were if we were to have that real, if we were if we were to be real, we could really have that conversation, you know what I mean. And so yesterday it was just for me. It was just an uh, just expressing why those standards and the respect for said standards are important, you know what I mean. And so I offered you all my five reasons feelish noon is what's up? What you brought? Salute to you? And they were Number one was greater self respect than identity. And I encourage you. If you didn't catch yesterday's show, it's still up. It's gonna be up forever, so you can go catch it if you want to catch it in the podcast format. Man go over to junior truth dot com and you can follow it. You can get it there if you want to catch it. You know, the live stream on the video, you can access that from junior truth dot com as well, but you can just go over to the YouTube channel Junior the Truth on Utah YouTube. It's all their catalog. It's nice. It's all nice and pretty looking. But the reason number one was greater self respect than identity setting. The personal standards is just a direct expression of your self respect. How do you respect yourself? You know what I'm saying, And having standards is one of the strongest way that you can show that you really truly respect yourself. You feel me like, unshakable, uncompromisable standards is a great, great, great expression of your self respect. Number two was improved decision making and boundaries right when you have standards and you really truly have personal standards. And like I say, when I say personal standards, I always talk about it. I'm talking about three to five concrete standards. You know, people will talk this stuff about standards and then they got twenty five standards, thinking that that makes you a more elite person, that makes you a more high caliber person if you have twenty five standards. But everything's you know what I'm saying, it's hard to end. It's hard to enforce anything over like three to five standards. You start talking about ten, fifteen, twenty five standards, now you're going to be a person that's actually hard to deal with and people are gonna look at you like you full of it, because how can you enforce twenty five standards? Land of the two? One six? What's up with it? Bro? Salute to your family? AB? What's up with your Homi? Salute? Here they come? Here come the family? What's up with your ab? Salute to your family? Thank y'all so much, men for falling through. So I'm talking. When I say standards, I'm talking three to five solid, concrete personal standards that you're not compromising on. Right. So number two is improved decisions, you know what I mean. When you have your standards, your concrete standards, it makes it easier for you to make decisions. Because something comes up and it's time to make a decision, you can just run it through your filtration system, run it through your standards. My standards are XYZ. You feel me? Okay, these are the standards. The decision is easy because how does the decision, match up with the standards. It's easy. You feel me. Number three was in hands relationships. Number three was in hands relationships. When you clear about your standards, you communicate them. And when you communicate your standards, you're attracting people who align with them. But more importantly than attracting people who align with your standards, you're repelling people who don't align with your standards. You feel me, So you're really repelling. So one of the things for me is I'm a I am a very few I have very few friends, but I have very deep relationships with my friends. I don't engage in a lot of conversations, but I engage in very deep, thought provoking conversations, right, And so I repel small talk, I repel surface level conversations, I repel disingenuine friendships in relationship ships, I repel relationships that lack and reciprocity, like I repel all of those based on my standard, which is it's how I engage the world. You feel me, and so that is a But you're able to enhance your relationships because you know we can be cool, we can be clear. You experience the world through your relationships, and so when you have a standard and your and you and employ your standards in your relationships, then you're able to enhance your relationships old school instantly. What's up with you? Man? Salute salute, salute salute. ABCID who made that New Day song? It's been stuck in my head. That's shine on the tracks, Man, that's Shiny on the tracks. Shane's the DJ, I'm the rapper. Man, that's the producer. He does all of the music, absolutely all of the music, man for the for the entire platform. Number four is your higher achievement and UH and fulfillment. Higher achievement and fulfillment. You know what I mean. Pushing your or excuse me, your personal standards push you to be better. You feel me. When you have personal standards, it pushes you to be better. They keep you focused on your goals and they motivate you to achieve excellence. Like when you have a standard, you are it's just that, man, there's it's a standard, and it pushes you to to to measure up to the standard that you have. And once again, this is the These are the five and and and and Number five UH is increased confidence and resilience. Yeah, when you. Live by your By your personal standards, you develop unshakable confidence. And I went I went in on this yesterday and I talked about how my confidence is is Actually you know, some people, there are people who are for lack of a better word there about my confidence. They are absolutely repulsed by my confidence. Camp Killer Cam Cameron feels in the building. What's up with you? Can my hope all is well with you? Beautiful salute to my sister Cam. What's up with you? There are people who are like really revolseed by. And I'm talking about in a real way, like in the real like just I enter into the room and people's energy shift, you know what I mean. I've shared this with you all. I'm the person that you know, I walk in the room, people look at me and people start adjusting their ties, Like people start checking their ties, checking their you know, they start checking their pocket squares or whatever the case may be. Because of you know, me and the confidence that I have when I talk, you know, people automatically start looking at themselves. Or whatnot. It's just one of them things that I've noticed. But once again, those are my five, my top five reasons why you have to have personal standards in two thousand and twenty five and beyond. So, like you know, from this day, fourth, you realize that you have to have personal standards. If you do not have personal standards, you are going to not be able. To master yourself. First and foremost, but secondly, you are going to have a hell of a time at life. And that's the truth. You're gonna have a hell of a time in life. And if you think about it, right, if you really think about it, think about establishing those three to five standards, right, and think about how everything in your life comes up against those standards. Right. You'll have friends, you'll have family members. You'll have mama and neim, daddy, nim, auntie, nim, cousin nim. You'll have your kids, You'll have your work, your supervisors, You'll have these people who will come up against your standards. Right, and then you have to make decisions. And it's so crazy for me, and I always share this and this is not a boastful thing or anything like that, but this is about to be a shameless plug and a whole bunch of stuff all wrapped in one. First and foremost, y'all know how I am about time management. Y'all know how I am about being in control and managing my time, and I've been that way for a very long time. Shout out to everybody that got the book, The Simple Truth Minute Manual, the one hour book that would change the way you watch clock, written by yours truly, Junior. The Truth link is available. You can go over to the Truth Shop. Just go to juniordtruth dot com follow the Truth Shop. You'll be able to get the book there. Also there's we have the planner of the newest, latest installment of The Simple Truth Minute Manual Personal organizer. That's the planner goes with the book. It's available there as well. Salute to everybody. I don't know what's been going on, but it's been flying off the shells recently. A lot of people have been making purchases. Thank you all so much, really truly genuinely appreciate you. I've been on this time management thing for a long time with myself, right, really been on it so as a professional cam watch this camp. So as a professional right working in the field of higher education. I really began to really flex that standard, the muscle of that standard of me respecting my time so much. In fact, cam watch this this is how bad I got cam everybody you know in the new world, in this new world of in this new workforce, it's all about meetings. Everything is about meetings. Everything is a meeting meeting, meaning all people do is meet. People don't even work no more. A lot of you all get paid to meet like y'all get paid to have meetings. The thing about me, I absolutely hate meetings because I understand meetings take away from the actual work you feel me meetings take away from my ability to produce. How am I to produce on my job if I'm always pulled into meetings. I've never seen so many meetings in my life. Everybody meets all day every day. People go to work and they have ten meetings on the schedule. They have ten one hour meetings on the schedule. You have an eight hour work day. That's not even possible. Meet meet meet meet meet, meet, meet meet meet How are you able to produce anything? So I got to a point in my colleagues, and people will tell you, I got to a point where I was openly expressive of the fact that I hated meetings. First and foremost, I hate meetings. I hate meetings because we'll have an hour, hour and a half meeting over information that could have been communicated in five minutes. That's first and foremost. Secondly, meetings are an opportunity for people to speak who have no business speaking. So I got to a point in my professional career where I really started to flex my my standard with regard to my time. If I went into a meeting and there was not an agenda, I would leave cam I'm not finished sitting. No meeting and there's no agenda. If I would go into a meeting and there's no agenda for the meeting, I'm up through. I'm up through, I'm up through, man, I'll catch the notes, like we Finnah have a meeting and there's no agenda? Are you crazy? No? A meeting and no agenda, like nobody, Nobody thought to sketch this meeting out so that we can at least know the direction, what's the outcome? Because an agenda suggests that there's specific outcomes for the meeting. So if there's no outcomes from the meeting, then what's the purpose. That means there's no purpose, So we shouldn't be meeting. So I can save this time, and I can take this time, and I can allocate it to actually doing doing my job. You feel me because Lord knows, I have a lot of things that I need to be doing, and at work, you all feel that pressure of having a whole lot of things some of you all are. How many of y'all are behind at work right now? Tell the truth. How many of y'all that in the workforce that work, you know, those type of jobs you know what I mean, where you're expected to produce. How many of y'all are behind right now as a result of being pulled in twenty five different directions, especially meetings. You feel me, and you can react in the chat right now, or you can react in the comments section. You understand what I'm saying. But nah, yeah, Cam says bro. She says, I'm not even in a space where we have senseless meetings. And if they start having casual conversations, I leave laughing my ass off. Now I'm up through when people get to talking about their dogs and what they wearing and house shopping and prim and all of that. Man and family kids. Nah man, I'm up through. I'm up through. And I became, you know, kind of branded as one of the more anti social people at the job but whatever you feel me like, man, y'all, y'all get man, please, Man, I don't give a damn about your about your dog, and I don't man. And people talk about anything, man, People be talking about they dogs, People be talking about they colonoscopies and shit like that. Shit used to get. Wild, man, It used to get wild, Like why are you in here talking to me about people going in your booty? I don't want to hear nothing about people going up in your ass. You feel me. Like, man, And that's and it's a whole different conversation because that's another one of my standards is I believe that everything has to be compartmentalized. I believe that work is work. I believe personal is personal. You feel me, and you know the spiritual is the spiritual. Or I don't believe that things should be intertwined. I don't think that you should be spending personal time with work people. You feel me, and I don't believe you should be spending work time with personal people, and so on and so forth. So I don't really I don't really believe in the intertwining, you understand. So I'm always weirded out by personal conversations in a workplace setting, so I kind of move around, you know those things. But I'm also a person, Like I got an office I don't even you know, or when I have my office at the univers I don't even have pictures of my kids and stuff in there. Like I'm chilling. Yeah, I'm I'm chilling. Can't do it? Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, I can't do it. But excuse me, Kim said, my laugh my eyes off. Colleagues have at times become offended because I say, I am not here to make friends, right, I'm not here to make friends. No, I don't want to hang out. No, AB says, we don't have but one meaning a month. I got no choice but to be caught up or I'm out of here. Yeah that's good. That's good. MJ's total health and wellness. What's up with your hommy? He said? Meetings about meetings? You got meetings about meetings like nah, man, So I entered into this space, like I said, where I flexed that, and I only went to meetings that I absolutely had to be at. AB. And when I get there, we got to have an agenda and we got to be moving. You understand what I'm saying. Like we gotta have an agenda, and we gotta be moving. But those were my five reasons for having personal standards in twenty twenty. In twenty twenty five and beyond, greater self respect and identity, Improved decision making and boundaries. Enhanced relationships was number three. Number four was higher achievement and fulfillment, and then number five was increased confidence and resilience. Saluting my sister, my bab bad Trease, what's up? Would you Tree say? What's up? Would you Tree say? I hope all is well, darling? I hope all as well? Yeah? Yeah, And how that baby doing? Yeah? I meant to ask that yesterday. I'll be acting like I can't just like really contact y'all, Like I really get contact y'all. Don't have to talk to y'all about that on the live stream. I'm stupid. So all right, So now, like I told you all, I don't want to just say, look, this is what you need to do and then that be that. This wouldn't be that platform. This wouldn't be a conversation. This wouldn't be a conversation about how do we develop and how we master on ourselves. If I don't give you at least my at least my thought you feel me and set you on a on a on a path to your own discovery. You understand what I'm saying, but I can at least tell you, hey, man, this is what I think. This is what I think, and what I think is. Five ways for you to actually begin the process of creating, setting, and enforcing your own personal standards. We're gonna flip the script and we're gonna talk about just that, you know what I mean. But we're not fit to wait till tomorrow, or we ain't finna wait till next Monday. We're not gonna wait till the till the month of September. We're gonna start acting the day. And this is for everybody that can that is truthful enough to say, yeah, man, I don't necessarily have personal standards, you know what I mean. Like, you got stuff that you feel and you know things that you know, you you believe in and. All of that good stuff. But I'm talking about concrete standards that say, nah, this is this and that's that you know what I mean? And this is for all of us that don't have our personal standards. And I'm not gonna lie to you. When we're done, I'm gonna go and go sit down and actually look at mine. I'm gonna go look at mine. I'm gonna go look. I'm gonna go look at mine and revisit them. You know what I'm saying. I realized that I need to actually look at mine and actually and take some time to revisit them and maybe make some necessens, make some adjustments because I may just be at a different place in my life. Number one. Reason number one or or excuse me, wait, number one not reason the way for you to develop your personal standard. Starting today, I had to slow down and get for real. Sisters, y'all like my glasses. I meant to ask out of that earlier. Let me get a little close to the camera, y'all like my glasses. Trees, you like my glasses? Or do I look like a fool cam? Do they compliment? You know about copper? That copper kind of proper? Trees? Look at that? You know that copper kind of proper, whole lot of whole lot of chata you feel me? Oh wait, Mississippi shit, ooh that copper kind of proper? Okay, Kim, you said they snazzy salute to the Phi to family. Man if y'all, I got a discount code for y'all to save twenty percent over at fire two dot com. I went, I'm never buying glasses anywhere else again in life because they are man, I trease. I got these. They was like, I got two for forty I got two pairs. I got these and no, no, no, no, no no, I didn't this. This was a part of my Haull never mind. But I had a different it was the same it was a different color, but it was the same style. This was the Jaden and it was the same style. And I got two of them for forty dollars. You know what I mean with my prescription lenses and all everything, prescription lenses, blue light protection, all of that. You know what I'm saying. I got everything except the transition trees. You know, I'd be wearing the transition glasses because I'm I'm subject to be, you know, found on the side of a mountain with a whole bunch of Indians or something. So I be needing my glasses to transition, you feel me. But I didn't. I didn't get the transitions. That's the only thing I didn't get. But it was like two for forty and my last pair of transition glasses that I bought from the optometrists when I got my eye exam and stuff. Man, it was three hundred and sumidd dollars. So I said no, So I've started, you know, shopping around. How to you know, lower that price because I'm cheap. You know, I like to buy assets, not liabilities, you feel me, So salute to the fight to family. The link to the glasses, the link to the site will be there, my discount code for you all to be there, so y'all can go. You know, this is another shameless plug, but y'all can go check them out. But I said I was gonna debut on them here before I wear them out because I ain't war them outside. They're supposed to be red, but they kind of little. They a little brownish, you understand what I'm talking about, Little maroonish, but I think they could. Tree said they're snazzy. Kim gave me the Kim gave me the fire. So that means both of y'all all give me some sugar on the cheek if you've seen me based on my glasses. So I'm gonna roll with it all right. So the ways that you can develop your standards starting today. Now, I'm gonna hold y'all to this. I'm gonna hold y'all to this, and I'm gonna ask all about these standards. I'm not playing with y'all no more. We are not in this space in the world to be playing. You feel me, and you can actually if you would like to. You can actually if you want to get if y'all want to get down and dirty. Yes, step what I'm saying. If y'all want to get down and dirty, let me show y'all what I want you to do. If you want to get if you want to get down and dirty, then we can do it. This way. You can create your standard, take your time, think about it, you know, create your create your standards, and then you can go over to www. Dot Junior, the truth dot Com over here, and you'll see over to the right there it'll say leave a it'll say leave a message, and y'all can leave me a message and tell me your standards. Y'all can click over there and leave me a message and tell me your standards because I'm gonna ask and I would love to hear them. So that's that now, old school Winston Lef said, I'm paying for transitions. Got to see when the uh, I got to see when the wife is there. Well, they had they offer transitions at the with five two. They offer transitions. I just didn't buy them. I just didn't get them. I might get it my next pair. I might get some transitions. But I got like I got like, I got like eight pairs of glasses. I got like six pairs of I got six pair of regular glasses. Then I got some uh, some prescription sunglasses. So I'm chilling. Man, I'm not buying no more glasses. I'm chilling. And my prescription on point. Ooh, my prescription on point. But anyway, let me let me, y'all go, let me talk, let me do this, let me do this, let me do me, let me let me work, let me work, let's work. Five ways to develop your personal standards starting to day. Number one is you have to clarify your values and why. You have to clarify your values and why boxing and barbecue. What's up with your homney? I don't know if I said, what's up to you? Salute my brother? Boxing and barbecue. You have to clarify your values and why stop. Start by asking yourself why you want some and standards? What are your core values? Do we need to go back and establish core values? I think because we had that core values conversation, y'all can go back and see that. But what are your core values? Is it integrity that's one of mine? Is it growth? That's another one of mine? I'm giving y'all my blueprint. Is it respect? Those are you feel me like? Those are integrity? Growth? Respect? Define why? And then align your standards with your values. So you got to get your values. What do you value? And once again, when I tell your values like, get your values down to about once again, three to five is the kind of that sweet spot. You want to have more than one or two, but you don't want to have more than five six? You know what I mean? Max? You know you can have stuff that's important into you, but figure out ways to tie them into your values. But have your core values for me integrity? And I told y'all what I believe integrity to be. You know what I mean? You got growth always? Life is constantly about growth. Development. You gotta learn have a theory. When it's when you stop learning, it's time to die. Should be learning like I'm a lifelong student, I'm committed to learning. And then respect. Respect is one of the most fundamental superpowers and well the fundamental laws there is. It is a superpower, but it's one of the fundamental laws of the universe. But you wanted you want to you want to get your values. Define your why with regard to your to your standards, why you want those standards. Why why? Why? Why why? And then align align your standards with those values. When you understand why you're setting why you are setting your standards, it gives you the clear and the motivation to stick to them. One of my main reasons for my standards is because I is to have control. I'm a control person and so I need to control like I need to control things. And it's crazy as hell, but my standards are meant for me to control traffic, meaning the traffic around me, people accessing me, so on and so forth. But it's also for me to control myself. It is also for me to control myself. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Tree said almost the same. Three she said for her is replace the growth with authenticity. Ooh ooh, well, see, integrity and authenticity go hand in hand. Integrity and authenticity is the same because for me, and I've said this about integrity, all integrity is for me is integrity is where your values, your thoughts, your words, and your action all line up. That's why I do that when I when. I say it, it's when your values, your thoughts, your words, and your actions all line up. That's what integrity is for me. And that's operating from a place from authenticity. So it's the same. So we do have this, we do have the same. Yeah, we do have the same. But Trice, you, I ain't going with you with that growth. I ain't going because you are growing, you are growing, Nah, I ain't going with you with that growth. Growth is one of yours. I ain't going. I ain't going you always you are, Nah, I ain't going. It's over with coach sixty seven Sports TV. What's up with your homies? Salute to you and shout out to the LDBC family man. Salute to y'all. Seen y'all in Vegas? You feel me? I seen y'all. I seen y'all in Vegas. So what was I saying? All right? All right, all right, righty. When you understand why you setting your standards, it gives you clarity and motivation and to stick to them. What are the values that are most important to you? I want you to take a minute and think about them, your values that are most important to you. I say, come up with three. Three is a nice little Three is a nice space to be in. I say, I say three, but you can do three. I would suggest three to five. That's my personal suggestion. All right, number two. It's all about smart goals, man, it's all about smart goals. You wanna, you wanna, you wanna, It's all about being smart. I should say, is you want to write specific measurable standards? Man? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you got it. That's that's a fact, tracks I see. Yeah, you gotta be specific and you have to be able to measure. You have to be able to measure like. You can't say, yeah, my standard is I won't let nobody play with me like nah, Man, there's no way to measure that. You feel me like, there's no way to measure that. It's not specific, like No, you have to write specific measurable standards, and it's critical. You need to write your standards down. I don't know if I can stop trying to keep this stuff in your head. Your head is a cloudy place, you feel me it's cluttered, it's a lot going on. Write them down, you understand what I'm saying. Don't just think about them. You gotta write them down and make them measurable. You gotta write them down and rewrite them and rewrite them until they make sense to you. And and and you feel that you feel right. You know when you're there, you know what I'm saying. So, for example, if you value honesty, your standard might be I will communicate openly and truthfully with others. If you value honesty, then your standard will be I will communicate openly and truthfully with others. If you value health, it might be I will work out three times per week. That's the standard. Three times per week. I'm working out. When you make your standards clear and measurable, then it becomes easier to hold yourself accountable, because that's the other thing. It's accountability is a musk when you're dealing with standards. Accountability is a must. That's the whole rationale for even having a standard is accountability. Accountability is a must, period, Like it's a must, yeah yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah. And I want you to think about this, and you can share it in the in the chat, or you can share it in the in the common section if you want to, or you can hit me over on juniortruth dot com and send me a voice message. What's one standard you can set for yourself today that will have an immediate impact. Think about your life, think about where you are right now. What's one standard that you can set for yourself today that will have an immediate impact. One standard that you can have that you can set for yourself today that will have an immediate impact. So number two was once again, write specific measurable standards. Number three trees. You're right on time, baby trees. Transfer responsibility to yourself. Transfer responsibility to yourself. And I'm telling you, growth is one of your is one of your values. And you have a standard where you're helping people grow. Transfer that to yourself. Transfer responsibility to yourself. Your standards are for you, it's not for everybody else. You understand what I'm saying. Stop stop stop, stop. Heal the world, make it a better place for you and for me and the entire human race. Fucking ass nigga, no cam cam, cam cam, tell the truth, Cam, people want to be sick. CAM, talk to the people. Let's talk to our let's talk to our clinical therapist. CAM tell people want to be sick. People want to be sick. My Papa used to say, some people just ain't right unless they ain't right. And so here you are, Trees. You didn't exhausted, Yo. You done poured your soul into people, because everything you do you pull your soul in. And I just had a hell of a thought, Trees. Ooh wee, I just said everything that girl do, she pour her soul into it. Ooh, Satan, get thee behind me, Get thee behind me, Satan. I didn't say. I didn't say oh, Kim, I didn't say ah. I didn't say ah. People. There are those who want to be ill right, They just want to not be right. You know, a lot of people just talk, you know what I mean, because they have an audience. You understand, and look for opportunities to get an audience. And there and the whole purpose of the conversation is not to get well. The purpose of the conversation is to stay safe. Tree, you better leave me alone. The purpose the purpose is to it's to stay in that space like it's to stay in that space. They just want to pull you in that space with them. So no, you gotta transfer that energy to yourself. Your your standards are for you, not for everybody else. And at the same time, though, you gotta stop expecting others to meet your expectations. You understand what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah, you take. You take make full responsibility for upholding them, for yourself and for pouring that energy into you. Once you take ownership of your standards, you take ownership of your life. You take ownerships of your energy, you take, you take ownership of your time, you take ownership of your environment. Once you take ownership, there's no excuse not to live up to your standards period. You don't let anyone or anything derail you from putting yourself in a space to master yourself every day. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah, here we go. Cam Cam says truth. They love wallowing in their own shit facts. Bro, you feel me. People don't want to get up out of it and say, man, wait a minute, nah, they love wallowing it and throwing it nah. So transfer responsibility to yourself. As number three now once again, for those of y'all who you know. Just now tapping into the conversation. We're talking about the top five ways for you to develop your personal standards starting today. Absolutely right now, you feel me. We're talking about that absolutely right now, starting today. Number three was transfer responsibility to yourself. Number four is align daily actions and set small goals. I talk about this all the time, man, every day, I always talk about this. I talk about, excuse me, how I'm a checklist person. I talked about how I actually use my planner. My simple truth minute. Man, You're an organizer, you know what I mean. I use it every day and I go through there and I'm looking at setting small goals, smart goals. Cam I'm setting smart goals on a weekly on it was a monthly, weekly, daily basis, you know what I mean. And it's just their different tiers. And I start just checking stuff off, checking stuff off, checking stuff off, and so I set those goals. But you start breaking your standards down into small, actionable steps, and you set goals that align with your standards. Once again, when you set standards, your decisions become easier. It's the same thing. For example, if your standard is self care, then you set a goal to meditate every morning. Yeah, if your standard is personal growth, then you set a goal to read twenty minutes each day or be there for the Black Coffee Club Live every morning. If this is what we're doing, cam you feel me? Treat If this is if we gonna get up and were gonna talk and we're gonna have these conversations every day, I'm gonna be just as committed as y'all are. Like I said, saluted my sister Tayte, my beautiful sister Tayta. If this is the content y'all want, this is the content y'all gonna consume, even if you can't catch it in real time. But if you're gonna double back and listen in and have conversations and interact with this content, and this is what we're gonna do, and I dedicate it. I dedicate myself to it. You feel me, I'm I'm gonna bail myself to this. If this is what we're gonna do, I'm gonna bail myself to it, I'm gonna nail myself to it. But you're gonna set your You're gonna you're gonna you're gonna set your small goals. You know what I mean? Each and every day, and consistency is the key. Small actions over time that add up to big results. Like small, just a little bit, just a little bit, you know, we get into we and the reason why we sack ourselves up and we don't really do stuff. We we we get paralyzed is because we pack ourselves up and we wanna we want to eat the whole elephant in one city. Nah, we on the shore, we on some shot shank redemption. Remember when well, for those of y'all who have seen it, he was taking his wall out into the reck yard a pocket full of a pocket full of concrete every day, big by bit, big by bit, pocket full. Bit by bit, yeah, bit by bit, every day, pocket full. That's what we have to do with this man. You gotta do it just a little bit, just a little little bit, those small actions over time to add up to big results. And y'all know, I always got a question, y'all got to start to think about it. I need you to think about one small action you could take today, one small action, and you can you can start and take to day. Yeah yeah, yeah, Tree said, she trying to become a polyglot twenty minutes a day for a new language. Man, I put a I put a language app on my phone, and I stopped doing it. I'm gonna get back on it. I was trying to learn a different language. I was trying to learn Spanish, man, I was trying to learn Spanish. Like learn, learn Spanish, want to become fluid? All right, all right, all right? That was number four line daily actions and set small goals. Number five is and the last one is regularly review and adjust. And that's what I just said. I missed y'all too. I missed y'all too in Vegas. I sure did regularly review and adjust. The key to any the key to long term success, man, with your standards is self reflection. You gotta review them often, you know what I mean? And you got to realize the importance of reviewing your standards is because things change. Life change, circumstances change, you feel me, You change, Your goals change, careers change like things change. And if you're constantly in this space of evolution, because that's what we're doing, We're constantly evolving, we're constantly changing, right, then it only makes sense for you to have to revisit, excuse me, have to revisit your standards. Because standards will change and then you gotta review them often. Are they still aligned with your values? Have your values changed? Right? Goals? You understand what I'm saying. Nah, you have to make you have to make standards, You have to make changes, Camp said killer, Camp said cook, Bro, you can't be so rigid. This is the thing, Cam, And a lot of it has to do with just how I am. I'm cool, you know what I mean. I'm cool, So it's not I'm not. I'm not I'm not nonchalant. I'm cool, but I'm I'm very calculated, and I'm and i'm and I'm thoughtful. You know what I mean. I'm always thinking. And I understand that it only makes sense that if the world is spending on the axis right, everything is constantly changing, and we're constantly changing as a people, then it only makes sense that everything outside of you changes, so everything inside of you changes. You don't feel the same way you felt as a twenty year old. You understand what I'm saying. You don't value or excuse me for me at forty seven, I don't value the same things I did at twenty seven. I don't. I don't value the same friendships I don't value the same material I don't. I don't read the same, I don't talk the same, I don't walk the same. I don't dress the same like I don't I don't. I don't nah man like. It's different. It's different, and so we are. It's only right that you visit your standards. You reflect constantly, and you have to be This is where you have to be truthful because you'll stick to something just for this, because where creatures a habit, So you'll stick to something just because it's what you've always done. But then I always say that, you know, you got to look at what you got. You feel me, if you always did what you always done, you always get what you always got. And I've had this conversation with people. I think I said this yesterday. You know, you got to look at your life and you realize that your best thinking got you there, like your best thinking got you to where you are now. So if you're not totally one hundred percent happy with where you are, you realize that you're thinking got you there, your decision's got you there, and so if you're not happy there, then this is a good opportunity to think about possibly doing something different. But the key to that is you have to be in self reflection. Like you have to enter into self reflection. You understand. You gotta enter into self reflection. Something about to throw my damn phone cut salute to my sister camp. You have to enter into self reflection constantly, constantly salute to be about a farest in the building? What's up with you? Bro? Like I didn't even think like the way I think now. I didn't even think at the age of twenty seven, and for twenty years ago, I didn't even ten years ago, five years shit, two years ago. I'm not the same person I was two years ago. You understand. And if you're not locked in and you're not paying attention, shake Grady five, what's up with your baby? I see you. If you're not locked in and you're not paying attention, you're gonna miss the whole shit. Like you're gonna miss the whole shit. You missed the whole evolution. And more importantly, think about people who have missed the whole evolution of themselves. You understand what I'm saying. And the crazy thing about it, Cam is people have transitioned and they've moved to a whole new house. Right, like they've moved to a whole new house. The body has changed, right, bodies changed, Mine has changed, everything's changed, and they've moved to a whole new house, but they still have the same value system from ten years ago. The keys don't motherfucking work like you got a whole new house, and the keys don't work because you have not reflected like you have not stayed in locking step. You understand, like you have not stayed locked in step with yourself. Period. We see it all the time. If you think about if you think about a let's think about boxing, be about a forest. We're gonna bring a boxing conversation, y'all. Remember for those of us that's been around and been watching the sport of boxing, y'all, remember when Roy Jones Junior was Roy Jones junior. Y'all, remember when Roy Jones Junior was Roy Jones junior. And all of a sudden, right before our eyes, Roy Jones Junior moved into a new house. You feel me. He Roy moved into a new house. You understand what I'm talking about. He moved into a new house. Reflexes kind of slowed down. The game got a little bit slower. You feel me. He moved to a new house, but he still had the old keys, And when he was in the new house with the old keys, he ran into Antonio Tarbor. Nah, you got to change the key, like you have to change the key. I am not the same person at forty seven. I'm not the same person I was at twenty one, at twenty seven, at thirty, nah, a lot of it at the core. I still have a lot of the same core values that I had at thirty. You know what I'm saying. But I'm not the same person. I've moved into a new house. Yeah, yeah, And so you have to, man, you have to evolve, like you have to. And the reason why people remain stagnant, the reason why people stay stuck in these ruts. I'm gonna tell you all to honest to God truth, and I don't want you to get offended, but if you do, fuck you. The reason why you reach out for distractions all throughout your days is because you've moved to a new house, but you got the old keys. You feel me, y'all are still valuing bullshit, low level conversations. But we're of age now, and we are at this point in your life at the age of forty seven right for me. Now, I can't speak for nobody else, but for me, I'm starting to look back at my journey and I'm like, man, I've done some things right, but what is my contribution? You feel me? Like? What have I contributed? What have I built? What am I building? Like? What what have I done? That's where my reflection is. And the average person for us, the average most of us, we're not willing to have that conversation. You understand what I'm saying. So we're pretending to steal value stuff Like, we're pretending to steal value things, and so we reach for these distractions. My brother, be about a farntance facts, Junior. I've been discarding stuff out of my life like I'm planning for gold only keeping the good stuff. You feel me like, Bro, I am so hell been on becoming a minimalist, bro. Like, I think minimalism is where I'm at in my life. Bro. Like, minimalism is like I'm discarding. I have so much unnecessary stuff. Bro, it's gotta go. You know what I mean? I have stuff, man, believe it or not. I got stuff I ain't I haven't touched in ten years, Bro, I have shoes I haven't worn in ten years. Got clothes I ain't worn in ten fifteen years. Bro, Yeah, y'all see me. I wear this. This is what I wear every day. Stuff. Every day. I wear a sweatshirt, some some, some workout shorts, man, and some and some and some and usually some compression pants or compression of shorts like I wear jim clothes every day. But anyway, man, we have to reflect. You gotta review, you know what I mean. You gotta look at your standards. Are they still aligned with your goals? Still align with your values? You know what I mean, your core values? And then you have to make adjustments. And then don't forget though, to celebrate wins, no matter how small they are. You gotta celebrate your wins. Your standards should evolve with you. I'm not coming off of that. Like your standards should evolve with you. They're not set in stone, you know what I mean. Look at them as look a look at them as having their own individual lives. Right, They eat, they breathe, they roh. You feel me. They're alive like your standards are alive. They're living, breathing parts of your journey. You feel me. They need to be fed. They need to be nourished, They need to be corrected, they need they are living breathing parts of your journey. They need to be nurtured. They need to be talked to. You feel me like they need to be acknowledged, Like they need your interaction, They need your time. They are living, breathing parts of your journey. Like, think about that. You know what I'm saying. And I'm not even I'm not even gonna ask the question of you know, do you reflect on your standards and stuff like that, because I'm talking to you all like you haven't established your standards and I need you to start establishing your standards today. You feel me. I need you to start And it's important for you to check in with yourself regularly. You need to be spending time checking in with yourself instead of the first thing in the morning, grabbing your phone and off goals to day. I need you to start checking in with yourself daily. You understand what I'm saying. So I'm gonna review this real quick once again, because I can't beat the dead horse. If you didn't catch yesterday's show, go catch yesterday's show, which was you gotta ride for yourself in twenty twenty five, and I talk about riding for yourself. I'm talking about actually literally establishing standards for yourself. And your standards have to be your guide. It's your guiding light through your life. Sloop to Jest Spark, Queens, New York. What's up with your baby? So my reasons why you should have personal standards are one, greater self respect and identity. Two improved decision making and boundaries. Three is enhanced relationships, four is higher achievement and fulfillment, and five is increased confidence and resilience. Now, today we talked about because I didn't feel good just telling you this is why you need to have this is why, this is why you need to have standards. You feel me. Uh, I have to tell you this is how I think you can start creating your standards. Today. You feel me because this conversation won't go no further if I say, hey, man, that's why you need to do that. Nah. We in the we're in the we're in the mud together, like we're in the dirt, we're in the earth. We're building together. So I wanted to come in and I wanted to tell you, are these are the ways that I think you can start developing your personal standards starting today. These are my five, my top five. You might do some research and create your own five. But one was clarify your values and why number two is right, specific measurable standards, write them down. Number three is transfer the responsibility of the standards to yourself. You feel me the responsibility of the standards, and in the direction of the standards for your self, you transfer that responsibility to yourself. Number four was align daily actions and set small goals, real small goals. Because when I say, you'll hear me talk all the time, and those of you who follow me via social media, you'll see me say, brick by brick. That's what I say, break by brick, break by brick, break by brick. A brick is just a small daily act. It's a goal. It's a small, daily actionable step. It's just a brick. And that's what this thing is. That's what life is. Anything you build, you're building it piece by piece, break by brick, big brick by brick. And number five was you have to regularly review and audit your standards. That was number five, regularly review and audit. All right, so we're gonna wrap this up. You know what I'm saying. I need you to remember this. You gotta ride for you like you gotta ride for you. Nobody's gonna ride for you like you ride for yourself. People will, people will talk that talk and they'll they'll play you know what I'm saying, and they'll you know, yeah, yeah, I'm a right nah man. You gotta ride for you. You understand what I'm saying. You have to ride for yourself. Nobody will, Nobody else will. When you stand by your personal standards, you're not just creating a life for yourself. You're creating a life that's aligned with the truth and your values. You're going to become a personal substance. One of the things that I hate, and the reason why I don't, I don't fool with a whole lot of people, is because there's no substance. Cam Like, there's no substance you feel me. I can sit here and talk to a motherfucker and they could talk to me and have the audacity to want to talk to me for an hour, and it's no substance. Like I can look and I can feel your character. There is no substance. There's nothing that I can grab on to. There's nothing. There's nothing, there's no substance. You feel me. And I'm telling you that when you are, when you have a standard and you establish these standards for yourself, you are providing a substance. You understand what I'm saying. You are filling yourself with a substance. It's gonna be stuff that people value. It's gonna be stuff that people are gonna be drawn to, people are gonna gravitate toward. You understand what I'm saying. You're going to be able to have a life that is so fulfilling. You understand you're gonna be able to have a life that's fulfilling. You're gonna be able to be so productive, You're gonna produce great shit like, You're gonna be able to do things you never thought that you could do. And it's all about purpose, man Like, all of this is just building up to the pursuit of your purpose. That's all we hear for this whole self mastery, this whole these conversations life. You get up every day and you have an opportunity to pursue your purpose. The problem is we don't even identify our purpose. We don't even know why we here, and so when I get up here and I start yelling, and I'm telling you, ay man, we gotta do these things and align ourselves and empower ourselves and embolding ourselves to pursue purpose. And everybody's like purpose. Like, what's that? That's the reason why you hear? Yeah? Yeah, you have to take ownership, pursue your purpose. Make sure your actions reflect the person that is built to pursue and accomplish your purpose. Manage, salute to y'all. Thank y'all so much, man for taking the time to tune in. Man, I really truly genuinely appreciate it, you know what I mean. KM says, Wow, this is definitely by chance that I caught your lives today because I'm about to do content regarding regarding parts. I can't wait to see it. I can't wait to see it. I can't wait. I can't wait. Man. Tree says. Okay, y'all just don't want to let me go. Tree says, this is when people try to dump all of their mess on me. I'm not trying to be a counselor or a personal problem solver every day. They clearly don't respect my energy. But you have the you have the opportunity to remove yourself trees you feel me. You have the opportunity to set those boundaries, not even an opportunity, you have the responsibility to I'm in the space treets. And I actually said this, and I was able to because I get I've been feeling a lot and I've never dealt with so much like disrespect and disregard in my life as I have recently. And I'm dealing with this disrespect and this disregard it and it's this, you know, just this lack of value, right, and it's and it just so happens to be in the spaces that I actually bring the most value to. Right. And the thing that I felt and I felt the last two days was dishonor. Like it's been like I've been dishonored. Right, there's dishonor. You understand what I'm saying. And so. I think that that's dishonored that you're dealing with. Because you're a person, a person to know you, I wouldn't dare think to bring. You my mess. You understand what I'm saying, especially my mess that I'm actively wallowing in, like Kim says, like the mess that I'm actually wallowing in not gonna bring you my mess. I wouldn't. I wouldn't dare dump my mess on you. You understand what I'm saying. Like you a person that I'm gonna come to if I need an interceding Yeah, yeah, yeah, But stop accepting that. No, no, don't accept that mess. Don't even you said, deal with it when I have the capacity. No, don't even deal with it when you have the capacity not mess, not mess. But we'll talk about that, man. I gotta go. Thank y'all so much man for taking the time to tune in to the Black Coffee Club Live. Man, I really truly genuinely appreciate you all. You have absolutely no idea.
