It says this week has been a week that has been very eye opening. You know what I'm saying, very eye opening for me as it relates to the the. Power of. Just awareness, you know what I mean, just literally nothing else to it, just really the power of awareness. And this is really I really wanted to enter into just kind of a review, not really a repeat of what we did, the work that we've done this week. This week, we didn't really. Talk about We didn't talk about a motivation you feel me this week. We didn't chase inspiration. We solely talked about structure, and specifically we talked about roles, responsibilities, and boundaries, you know what I mean. And if you really paid attention, then you probably notice something uncomfortable about yourself. You probably noticed something uncomfortable. If you paid attention and you was really being honest, then you notice something uncomfortable about yourself, man. And that's just that's just the fact of the matter. And I am just in this I am just open, you know what I'm saying. I'm just really truly open and in this space of just being receptive and observant, you know, over myself. And I'm just really really observing a lot of things and just collecting this data for the month of January, you know what I mean, Just really truly collecting this data about myself. Man. But I'm gonna say this, and so that we can we can forever and consistently resonate here and be here. Most confusion in adult life, it doesn't come from a lack of effort at all. It's not a lack of effort. It's not us being lazy, or any of that. Most of the confusion in adult life comes from unclear structure. The less clear we are about our structure, the more confusion we have. You understand what I'm saying. And so today, really, truly, I just wanted to review this week's work, man, because this is the week that everything started to make sense for me, and I really wanted to review this and start to connect some dots. Let's get it. I'm hustled harder than the moment. I'm a feast on these streets, gallery bab I talked for these niggas trying to take me off the block where I'm pointing up daily sit Bailey's. Out the bottle, Hey man, same man. Salute to everybody. Man. So I, hey man, I just realized something and I want to I want to just resonate here for a second and tap in what you are.

Salute to your family and salute to the dirt game boss man, Salute to you. I ain't gonna put all your business out in the streets. Man, But salute to you, bro. That's major. That's major. Salutor Kevin Dunbar scholar in the building. What's up with you? Broke for our sniper in the building. What's happening with your family? My sister Lukia Allen is in a building? What's up with your family? Old school wins? He said, he was just playing in the snow. How much snow y'all got up there? Bro? Man, the world is a different place, man, And I just realized something like, and y'all could just bear with me. Some of y'all might feel me. Some of y'all might not those of us that that that are actively around to actively engage in youth sports. Man, When did the referees become so soft? Man? When did the when did the referees become so soft? You feel me? Like? Why the why the referees so soft? I remember, I remember I got a threat one of my brother's college basketball game. We're talking about college, man, we're talking about college. But one of my. Brothers, uh uh one of the college games. Man, my brother was playing, and I actually got a warning. I didn't get a tech. I didn't get the team of technical but I got a warning from a referee and they warned me that throwed me out of the gym, and uh throw me out the game, and I like, I remember just going off like bro, and I told him and like yeah, like, brouh, ain't nobody. Come to see you, you jackass? You feel me? Did you get the hell away from me? Bro? Coming over here talking about threatening me? Man, get on, get your bitch ass on somewhere. You feel me? Ain't? Like when did you get so like a referee? Like, y'all are a part of the game. If you are a referee, you are a part of the game. You understand what I'm saying now. I understand people don't need to be touching you, and people don't need to be you know, you ain't gonna let nobody disrespect you and call you, you know, a bitch. And you know I get all of that, man, But referees is part of the game. Heckling referees is a part of cheering for the game. Like when did the officials and the like the refs become so soft, like man, and it's it's like man, like Bro, we just it's it's this shit is soft and and this ref I see him all the time, and you know, he still don't speak to me. You feel me like it'd be other Like other referees are people you know, I know, and you know I know personally. Some of the refs been refing for years. They hadn't been around, They didn't been reffing my brother's games, like you know I've been. I've been. I've been doing the same. Like my brother is a head coach at a college program. Now you understand what I'm saying. My little brother is the head basketball coach at a college program, the college that he went to. He is now the head coach of that program. You understand. I have been in the same place, at the same seats, doing the same thing that I have done since my brother was my son's age, So since my brother was about seven, my baby brother has been since he was seven, I've been doing the same damn thing. You understand what I'm saying. When my brother was seven, I was nineteen. You feel me. I was in college. I've been coming back home, going to my brother's gangs, doing the same damn thing the whole time. You understand what I'm saying. And refs they look at me and they just know. And now my brother's a head coach, and guess where I'm at. I'm on the sidelines doing the same damn thing. I'm yelling, screaming, yelling at the players, yelling at the refs, like I didn't calm down a whole lot. You understand what I'm saying. But I've been doing the same thing. And so for this ref to like really take this shit personally to the degree where like, dude, really don't be speaking to me like you know what I'm saying. And the truth is, Pittsburgh, big dog, The truth fends. I think if he think he could with my ass, he probably would have tried me. If he thought he could with my ass, he probably would have tried me. But I just remember growing up, y'all, and I remember playing sports and my daddy and my uncles like them. Them niggas was relentless, you feel me like they was relentless. Man. Them niggas was relentless with heckling the referees. Man. And they used to heckle the referees. They used to threaten to beat them up, you know what I mean. I had an uncle who shall remain nameless. He used to threaten to put the tool on the rest, like like they used to go berserk on the referees in my in my games, man, And I'm yelling, and you gotta understand, like I'm watching the game from a like I'm a fan, but I also know a little bit about the sports, so I'm watching the sport from the eye of an informed, educated fan. You feel me. So when I'm saying stuff, it's like, bro, I'm I'm saying stuff that is relevant, even if I'm yelling and screaming. But at some point, like you gotta like you gotta be able to zone out, you understand what I'm saying, Like I was never even as a player, like I was a player that I always fed off of the energy of the crowd right, wrong and indifferent like good or bad. The positive energy I would I would a feed off of the negative energy I would feed off of. And as a freshman, you know how you used to like as a freshman, like when I really as a freshman, because we used to have this is back when people used to support sports. Y'all don't really be supporting high school sports and shit no more. But as a freshman, you used to go into those gyms and the games would be electric, and especially games where I always love when we would have big games as a freshman and it was a game that was gonna sell out, so you know what would happened when the game was going to be a sellout. That means everybody start getting there early, you feel me, So people don't be there that your parents and shit be there for the start of the freshman games. But like as a freshman, by the time you start getting into like the third fourth quarter, the gym start getting packed, the energy start being there as a freshman, and we start to get some of the reciprocating effects of the varsity game that was about to be a sellout back. So I used to love them games and I would feed off the energy of the crowd because people was coming in cheering for their school, you know what I'm saying. And then we used to have like some big rivalries too, so like other some of the you know, freshman teams from the other schools. Man, I used to feed off that, So it started very early for me, you understand what I'm saying. And one of my things that I did and I ended eventually got in trouble for by my principal. But you know how you go to shoot your free. Throws, and the and the and the over opposing teams cheerleaders be like stumping like miss and Mess said, miss and Me said, you feel me? So they like, I'm going to shoot free throws as a freshman. It's like my first second freshman game. I go to. Shoot my free throws and they, uh, they saying missing me said, Miss and Me said, they stumping on the floor and it was crunking the gym. It was it was it, man, it was hyping there. I hit first free throw, I look at them, I hit them with the shush you feel me? I just hit them with the shushs finger. Then the second one, I cash it out. I looked over at the at the at the at the at the girls and I started and I looked out my tongue like I looked out my tongue like, uh. What's my dude name? Like a pit bull cruise? You feel me? I did? I hit them with the coochie eating tongue. You understand I'm talking about. And then that was just my ship the whole time. Every time you know what I'm saying, I would just I would like literally play and draw off the energy of the crowd. You feel me like, that's just what that was. But never was I ever so sensitive that somebody could say something and get me out my game. When people like you. Have as athletes, you have people who can get rattled from talking shit, and then you got people that will bust your ass when you start talking that ship. I was the latter. You feel me like I was a person that really Like the more you talk to me, the more I'm a off that ship, and the more i'm a I'm I'm gonna I'm gonna bite down. You understand what I'm talking about, Like, yeah, you gonna, You're gonna get all of this work. I'm gonna give you everything I got. You feel me, and don't be a player that I'm playing against and you talking that shit, I'm gonna bust your ass. You feel me. So I never really was rattled by that. So I don't understand how we got so sensitive to the to the degree where the refs are sensitive now, Like, man, you a referee. Man, if you don't put on your if you don't put on a uh yo yo damn. Zebra shirt, get your whistle, shine up your referee shoes. Put on them tight ass pints. You know them recipe wearing them tight ass pints. Put on them tight ass pints, and get your ass out here and prince around and call this game. You freak? You feel me? But stop being so sensitive, like, quit being so sensitive, man like I and. It's this shit, man, shit crazy as hell? She hardstand what's up with it? Man? It's freaks like? How are you like? And that's how I know that you can't be possibly be doing what you're supposed to be doing, because you're paying attention to what I'm doing. You feel me like you're paying attention to the crowd. So yeah, of course you're gonna miss some calls because you worried about me over here on the sideline calling you a jackass. You see what I'm saying you you uh uh uh what you're talking about? When I said them tight ass pints? Oh Dirk? Game by Yeah them tight ass pine. Put on them tight ass pints. You feel me? Get your man, get y'all punk ass out of here. But I can't stay these sensitive referees. You understand. I can't stand those sensitive referees. I can't stand those sensitive players. I can't stand those sensitive coaches, the players man to play this new game. It's they soft man. I'm talking about soft bro soft man, I'm talking soft like tender. They so tender. My brother came back. My brother beat the uh uh beat this team. They came back from like fifteen down and they beat the team. So my son, my son was in the zone. My seven year old song was in the zone. So he hackling, you know what I'm saying. So every time the other team go to shoot freak throws, my son hitting him with that turtleman. He wild ass Indian shiit, He wild ass Indian to his heart. So he hitting them with that turtleman. He giving them that war cry. They missing freak throws, you know something. And so after the game, I'm telling them like, hey, y'all, gook gag, good game, good game. They wasn't even speaking to me. Cut my son down there, rowdy on they ass and my son's standing on and say he couldn't even sit down no more. You feel me. He's standing up at the end of the at the end of the end. Of the bleachers where we're sitting, and he hitting they ass with that turtleman. They break, they breaking freek throws. You know what I'm saying. Then he had a strategy because you know, people don't cheer games, no more so the so the don't be quiet. I don't know why. The gym so damn quiet, but the gym quiet, and you can't hear nothing. Then dude and he wait, you know what I'm saying. And then he wait till you get up. And the dude getting up and he raising up to his shot right around when the ball get right back back to his eye level. He get ready to release. My son hit him with the turtle. Man, you feel me? So they so they hot, they team mad. You understand what I'm saying. And after the game, they ain't want. They ain't wanta. I'm telling them, good game. Ain't even wanna, you know, because they had some some of them kids was balling. They play hard. You know what I'm saying. I'm like, man, y'all, good game, man, good game. They ain't even talking to me. I'm like, man, so I don't understand the softness. Man. We got to get back to this old shit we used to. We used to bang. Then when it was over, we hugged, and then. We gone about our business. Everybody's parents could come up and hug you and and tell you good. Game, and win, lose a draw, you know what I'm saying. And now it's so the referees win the game over the referees run off the floor. Bitch, this ain't the Big ten Championship. You ain't got to run off the floor. Ain't nobody about to fuck with you? You take your punk ass over there and get some popcorn and some skittles. Ain't nobody about to the fuck is you running off the floor for like you like like motherfuckers is hurling beers and hot dogs at you? And shit, ain't nobody even throwing it? Ain'tbody thinking about y'all punk ass referees take off running like this is goddamn national championship game? Man, what's wrong with y'all? Man? Stop being so soft? The world is soft man. Every since y'all ever but every since everybody start going with all that loose booty activity and it was okay to be open. Let me stop right there, because I'm about to I'm about to get some stripes on my channel. Every system every since they read defined the rainbow'ma say that ever since they read the fan of the Rainbow. The world been south like. I can't talk to the referees no more if you're a ref and I need all the referees to hear this around the world. Listen, motherfucker, Your heckling comes with my mission. I paid to get in this bitch. You feel me? What that boy say. I'm Michael Jackson, You Tito, Your ass belonged to me. You feel me? Your ass belonged to me. You I paid to get in this motherfucker. I'm gonna yell, I'm gonna scream, I'm gonna whistle, I'm gonna let my kids do jumping jacks. I'm gonna let my son hit y out with that turtle. Man. We wow, it's wild in this bitch. Like we wow, we got a whole section. It's wow. You feel me. We had some immigrants that were sitting over there with us. I don't know why. When immigrants start coming to vast college basketball games, but whatever, they start moving away from us because we getting wild. Then the next thing you know, they kids was over there trying to sound like my son to do the same shit my son was doing. I guess the US have resonated to them with them spirits. You feel me, but man, you can't. Man, Man, your ass belong to me. That's all I'm gonna say. Your ass is part of this game. You feel me? You part of the game. That's what they say. If you've ever played sports and you run in to the referee, the referee tell you I'm part of the floor. I'm part of the game. I'm part of the field. Like, yeah, you got it. So I used to the referees just had to get out of my way cause I'm coming full contact. I'm go running to you, part of the floor. Okay, I'm running full speed. You gonna get hurt. I'm young in scrappling. You understand what I'm saying. So, yeah, you're a part of the game. Be about as far as my brother in the building, he said. I used to be a football fanatic, getting down into three point stands, grinding like a dog, got a pose a linemen, terrorizing qbs and. Blowing up the run was life. You feel me, he said. I blocked out everything else Like that was it? Bro Like I'm I'm fitning a bust show ass. You don't stay what I'm talking about, don't nothing else matter. I feed off the energy. Man. I remember when we played. We played in my college, my red shirt freshman year. We played Penn State on ABC, and it was the rig. It was the riigniting of the rivalry because Pitt and Penn State hadn't played in like twenty years or some shit, So it was like the riigniting of the rivalry because they used to be a big end state rivalry. We played at Happy Valley, so we playing at Penn State. Now I got recruited by Penn State. This was, unfortunately sad to say. I got recruited by Jerry Sandusky. Of course, Joe pie was was the Joe Patano was the coach. But like I remember, and it was one hundred thousand people in the stadium, like this was a one hundred thousand people. The game was on ABC, And I remember coming out and walking out of the locker room, heading out to the to the field and entering in and I'm looking at how high the stadium. Now, I played in Pitt Stadium. Pitt Stadium was our home stadium. Which wasn't no, that wasn't no punk bitch like that shit. Hell, I want to say that hell, like seventy seventy five thousand, but it was never capacity. You understand what I'm saying. Happy Valley was capacity. So I remember just walking out and I could feel the reverberation of the energy from the crowd. You feel me, And. I remember walking and I could and this is gonna sound crazy, but I could like see the energy, like I could literally see the energy like bouncing across the field, and I'm like. Man, you see what I'm saying. And I just could remember, like I just could remember what that felt like and that energy and then being able to block everything out. You understand what I'm saying. And man, I'm here, like I'm here and I'm finna bust y'all. Ass, you understand what I'm saying. So I don't understand how you could be in the gym and it's two hundred people in there, one hundred and fifty folks, and you can focus on me enough the threatening to kick me out the game because I called you a jackass, or you missed a call, or or I say stuff like oh, like it's crazy, Like now, kids don't even these kids refere make a bad call and the kid toll be like ooh and just start walking away and get a technical like nigga when I play like we kids used to grab the rest by the collar, Like what did you talk about? Parents used to run out out the floor, get on your ass. I just seen. I just seen parents and referees square up, get separated. The parent take his ass back up into the crowd and get back to eating this popcorn, and the ref go back to playing the game. Like what is y'all or ref in the game? I don't understand this new sensitivity shit, man, I don't get it. Man, but the world is entirely too sensitive, and we need to get back to being more primitive. Like the world has to get back to being more primitive. You feel me? Shee Harstadt says, it's not fun no moment like it ain't. It isn' fun of one like you gotta get back to being more primitive, man. That's why, Like everybody's so comfortable disrespecting each other. Y'all saw Corey holkom and and Anton Daniels, Like that's the new world where they gonna just sit here and threaten each other, get in each other's space, and don't nobody do nothing. They get those to nose and don't nobody do nothing. And then when it's over with, everybody talk about how they was gonna beat each other's ass. Like, man, if y'all get the fuck out of here, man, that shit it. Man, we got to get more primitive. You understand what I'm saying, Like, Bro, if a motherfucker sit in my face and tell me, uh, I sucked dick, Bro, it's I listen to me. I ain't even start talking about what we're supposed to talk about today. We might not even get there if you. If a man tell me I suck dicky, he's standing there in my face. Bro, we unhooking microphones, and i'ma I'm gonna do. I'mna tell you wha do with this micro I'm gonna wrap this cord around your neck something like, Bro, we find the we find the dance. If a motherfuckers caught me a bitch. In my we find the dance, Bro, Like right wrong and different, You're gonna have to like I'm gonna do something, or you gonna do something to me. Something gonna get done. Though, you understand what I'm saying. We not gonna sit here and go our separate ways. You know what I mean that that whole exchange between them was a bunch of sucker shit, respectfully, because I like both dudes, like I messed with I messed with Antoine Anton Daniels, and I messed with Corey Hoker. You feel me. But that shit was soft be about as far as you know. I ain't lying, Bro. That shit is soft. Bro. That shit soft like hey like. Bro we And then when when Anton leaving, Corey Hokum start violating Bro, y'all know that man was violating Bro. Y'all know that man was a complete violation. He turned stace witness man, y'all know he turned it too. It was a whole lot of rat tat tooy. It was a whole lot of rat tat tat tat tooy. Y'all know that, y'all know. It wasn't nothing solid about what Corey was doing. Y'all know that shit wasn't solid for those y'all that watched it. Like Man, this shit was just messed. That shit was just messed, King Vonnie Bro. I'm trying to tell you, bro, like I'm not Bro. It's like where I'm from. Those them is two things that men like you, men will die over that men, men will die, kill and go to jail over you over motherfucker's saying something to you about sucking dick. Like. Men don't even talk to each other that way. Grown men don't even talk like. I don't even this is a guilty listen, and y'all on here, like y'all know, I say every cuss word. Y'all rarely hear me say dick because it's grown men in here. Grown men don't even use that word when they talk to each other. You'll stay on talking about grown men don't use that word when they talking each other. The only time they might use that use that word when they talk to each other is if they're referencing a sexual escapade with a female that a man might say something about, y'all got her digmatize or yeah, I slam this dick, or I'm a dick slang of what. But other than that, in casual conversation, grown men don't use the word dick. That's how I was raised, so I don't say it a whole lot, you feel me, So if a man insinuates that I engage in any sort of activity with a with a with a dick, man, we gotta get to it. Like lighter fluid bro it ain't no more talking. You feel me, if a man look at me in my face they call me a bitch any any cause, you know, people have different ways of saying a word bitch, bitch, bitch, ass, bitch, bit. You know they presented and packaged in different ways, but it still equates to the same thing. That's you calling me a bitch, Homie, if you calling me a bitch in my face, we gotta dance. You gotta show me that, like you gotta stand on that. And I'm a GM, I'm a I'm a I'm a fifty year old damn near fifty year old grown man. And to this day, these is words you just don't use. You understand what I'm saying. So neither one of them dudes was trying to trying to do an thing, and that whole exchange and shit was weird. You understand what I'm saying. It was. It was weird. Shee Harshta says, there's a lot of sassiness rapid out here. A dude could even think that's okay to say, I'm telling you, I'm telling you be about if. Farren says, they both make good points on topics, but that was not a good look for either of them. You understand what I'm saying, both come, come off and suck us. In my opinion, way too much yapping going on. Man, it's it's suckers ship bro. And and at one point, because and this is the thing be about a Farrence watch this, bro. If them motherfuckers, it's let me let me. If my brothers, Corey holkm and uh Anton Daniels, if my brothers had a liqu of sense, Bro, if they had a tiny eenie weenie ounce of sense, they would have a show together. They would catapult that exchange and what happened and they would do a show together. He would become Anton Daniels would become a part of the fifty one fifty show. And they would because that's the bigger platform. And they would break you know what I'm saying, They would break bread. They would break bread. If they had a any pd. TD sense piece of sense, or if they don't do a permanent show, they would do a partial show together and they would work together. Coming off of that. They would work together because that conversation that they're having is a conversation that needs to be had because it's it's two sides. You feel me. There is two sides of the of the equation and every and it's a conversation that needs to be had. You feel me. It needs to be had, you know what I mean? Because at the end of the day, are we gonna be victims of slavery? Or are we gonna be bosses? Because we can't be both? Yes, stead what I'm saying, so are we gonna are we gonna be Are we gonna be victimized by the instant, by the systematic instant, by the institution and the systematic uh of attributes there in? Or are we gonna be bosses? Because you can't be both? You feel me, you can't be both. And I think somewhere there in is the ability with that conversation, there's ability for us to really click and to really begin to build out our infrastructures, which is what we're doing in here. We are do y'all realize we are in here really truly working to build our infrastructure, like you gotta really work to build your infrastructure, you feel me. And this week is what we what we've been talking about. We've been talking about that your life is a series like your life, your day to day life, how you live your life is a series of roles that you play within your life, and we have to be able to acknowledge those roles, like we have to be able to look at those roles. We have to be able to identify those roles, name those roles. We have to be able to understand the responsibilities of those roles they're in, and then we have to act in accordingly. We have an act in accordance you feel me. And we also have to be able to set boundaries. Period. If you don't understand your role, you gonna mismanage your responsibilities. If you mismanage your responsibilities, you gonna violate your own boundaries. And when and when your boundaries collapse, stress, resentment, burnout, that's the shit that happens. Y'all know I ain't lying. She harsh that you know I ain't lying. Tifty two. You know I ain't lying. That is what happens. You gotta you gotta have your own infrastructure intact. Before you be good to anybody. You gotta have your own infrastructure intact. Period. This shit what this week? It wasn't. This week wasn't nothing about no theory. This is about This is about collecting data and diagnosing our and diagnosing ourselves. You understand what I'm saying. Yeah, because that's what we do in life, like we weren't around and we diagnose everybody. Nah, diagnose your motherfucking self. God, players ball, what's up with you? Called me? Salute to you. Ain't seen you in a minute? Brothers you a cot j reed, Naw, you gotta learn to learn to diagnose yourself. Now, what's going on? Yeah? And when I say role, what do I mean by role? We're doing a week in the review. If you ain't figured it out yet, we're doing a week and we're doing a review, and we're gonna review the week in the next few minutes, and then I'm out the way. When I say roll, all a role is is who am I supposed to be in this moment? That's what a role is. Who am I supposed to be in this moment? A lot of people are. We get exhausted because we're trying to be everything at the same time. This is the ship we talked about this week. We're trying to be everything at the same time, trying to be a we're a parent and you're trying to think as an employee, A leader, and you excuse me, acting like a follower. You're an adult, but you moving like you have no responsibility. We're gonna let that sizzle for a second. You're an adult, but you're moving like you don't have any responsibility. And that's not necessarily it's chaos, But chaos ain't the final stop. The final stop is not at chaos. It's role confusion. Like that shit is role confusion. Once you name the role, clarity is gonna show up fast. When you name it, clarity is gonna show up fast. I'm a father. That shit gets clear as hell off the muscle, clear as hell. It's clear, Your decisions will sharpen, your energy stabilizes. You understand what I'm saying. Man, I'm a husband. Okay, that shit's gonna sharpen up real quick, real quick. Cause shit like that, like you can't say husband and don't stand up straight, she's gonna show up real quick. Clarity is gonna show up fast, and you stop reacting and then you start being able to make decisions. You understand what I'm saying, and once the roller is click queer, once the roll is clear, excuse me. Then the next question becomes, who am I responsible for and what am I not? Which is most important? What am I responsible for? And what am I not? And that's where most people collapse. You take responsibilities for things that you can't control. You feel me. You avoid responsibilities, excuse me, avoid responsibilities for things that you can control. You take responsibilities for things that you can't control. Like you know and romantically right, dealing with me, I'm gonn tell you. I'm gonna tell you all little secret. Dealing with me. It is very much about control and it's I know it sounds crazy, but it's very much about control. And I'm gonna tell you why. It's about control because I'm I am sworn to protect you with my own life. You understand what I'm saying, and I have to lay down my life to protect you. You feel me, And I'm talking about when you enter into that space with me, You feel me, You enter into that intimate space with me. I'm sworn with my life to protect you. And if I'm responsible for protecting you with my life, have to be able to control you. I can't control or excuse me. I can't protect what I can't control. You feel me. See a lot of men find yourselves and procure your situations because you're trying to live your life protecting the motherfucker that you can't control. It's out of pocket. You gotta let that motherfucker gone about their business. If I can't control you, and I can't. If I can't control you, I can't control the situation. I can't protect the situation. You got to go on about your business. You got to gone about your business. It's the same thing with everything within you, within your life as it relates to your responsibilities. You understand what I'm saying. You gotta take responsibility for the things that you can control, and motherfuck responsibilities for things you can't control. You're not responsible for stuff you can't control. Yeah, Responsibility is gonna require you to be honest though. It's not the the what do I feel like doing? Not that. What requires my attention and my ownership right now in this moment? What requires what requires my attention. In this moment? And when responsibilities are unclear, like we talked about, your time gets wasted, your energy gets drained, and then you start to build resentment. But the thing about this, while we try to avoid responsibility, responsibility ain't punishment, y'all. Responsibility is ownership. Responsibility is ownership, which is why when you have these situations where things go haywire, the first thing you gotta do is to hold yourself responsible, take ownership of your shit. Yeah, but roles and responsibilities mean nothing without boundaries. It's what we talked about, you know what I mean? Boundaries? Answer this question, what am I willing and not willing to allow? What am I willing and not willing to allow? And I said, I did, I did a state, I made a statement, and I had a short few weeks ago, a short video where I said that how people treat you says something about how they view you, but how you allow people to treat you says everything about how you view yourself. You feel me, it's the same thing, and it's the same conversation when you're talking about boundaries, What am I willing and not? What am I willing and not willing to allow? And in most instances, people don't necessarily have boundary problems, they just have clearity problems. You feel me, there's a clarity problem. And when you don't know your role, you say yes too fast. When you don't know your responsibilities, you uh, you absorb other people's chaos. You feel me, y'all get absorbed and sucked in the other people's chaos. And the boundaries, like your boundaries are not walls, you feel me. A boundary is not a wall. It's a filter. You understand in the moment you set up think about like, y'all gotta really think. Think about when you have the appropriate boundaries right, you get you get the right energy. You see what I'm saying, Because boundaries are filters. It's not it's not a wall. If it's a wall, then you wouldn't get anything. You feel me. It's a filter. So when you have the appropriate boundaries up, you get the right energy. Right in these filters they protect your time, that protect your focus, they protect your standards, and they protect your energy. And without those filters, then burnout is one hundred percent guaranteed because you're gonna get boggled down with all types of bullshit. Now, let's connect it all because I gotta go Okay, So here's the connection. Here's the integration. This the news you can use. Told you this is the practical application of this. This whole week we've talked about roles, responsibilities, and boundaries. This is the connection. So role gives you an identity. In each and every moment, you get an identity, right. The responsibilities give you direction. So when you have the role and you have your identity in that specific role, you got your identity. Right now you realize you have to turn to what are the responsibilities within this role? That is gonna give you your direction. So now you know the direction that you're supposed to be handing in this role. This is our march orders. And then when you have the boundaries, the boundaries are gonna give you protection because in each role you're going to have or in each occurrence in your life. Look around your life on a day in and day our basis you're gonna have in each moment. You're gonna have a. Role, you're gonna have responsibilities, and you're gonna need to have boundaries, and you have to have all three. You have to know the role, you have to know the responsibilities, and you have to know the boundaries. You can walk through your life and you can just walk in wherever. And if you don't know the role, you have role confusion. You understand what I'm saying, And if you don't know the role, then you don't know the responsibilities. And then you can't have the boundaries. And that's in each and every moment of your life, each and every situation, each and every end counter. Yeah, and if you miss one of these, then the whole system fails. We're talking about your own personal infrastructure, your own personal infrastructure. And I really wish I was picking this down, picking this up, because I'm putting it down. I really wish I was picking it up. If you miss it between having a role, the responsibilities, and the necessary boundaries, if you miss one of those, then the whole system is gonna collapse. And that's why people feel. Overwhelmed, behind, resentful, confused. It's not because they're incapable, incapable. It's because they're unstructured, saluting my brother, five O three line. It's because they're unstructured. Once again, in each and every moment, like five H three line, when you get in that truck, bro, you gotta understand what your role is. You got to understand the responsibilities attached to that role, and then you gotta have the necessary boundaries around yourself and others. If you anything like me, like I have to put so many boundaries around myself. Yeah, and if that any part of that system fails, then the whole infrastructure is gonna collapse. And it's done. Once again, it's not because you're not capable, it's because you're not structured. You have to get the infrastructure. This is our this is our infrastructure. This is why this shit is taking place in January, the second week of the year, basically for content in regards second week of the year. This is why we're doing this work. This is foundational work. We're doing all right. So once again, a self audit, a little quick self all at one, what roll of my in most of the day? And is this the right role? Number two? What responsibilities am I avoiding or overcarrying? Number three? Where do I need stronger boundaries to protect my energy? Ask yourselves those three questions. I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna say it again. Number one, what roll of my in most of the day? And is that the right one? Number two? What responsibilities am I avoiding or over carrying? You might be avoiding some responsibilities you might be over carrying others. Answer that question. Number three, where do I need stronger brown boundaries to protect my energy? Don't answer them shits emotionally, don't answer them. Emotionally. Don't answer with what you think you supposed to say. Answer them honestly. Clarity, I'm telling you, is calming.
