want to say hey how's it going welcome back to my motherfucking podcast why I talk about the things I want to talk about welcome back motherfuckers so I like explaining things to people I don't understand things because I like people to explain things back to me if I don't understand things I also like to just overall learn about things I wouldn't say that I'm over inquisitive but I am very inquisitive my mind kind of wanders and it just lurks into weird areas I have weird knowledge about things that doesn't pertain to any part of my career or my life and it's solely because somebody said they knew something about something and I decided to go down this long rabbit hole and learn about the whole subject in a day or two but that's okay because sometimes it's fun sometimes it's irritating and I don't know if you have that problem yourself and you know good for you if you don't I think it stems from me having to work on myself as an individual I feel that I have to self-improve and that's because of growing up you know family things I've been through things I've done person I've become you know I think that personal growth is something that we should all be striving for I know that that's a huge topic for me though I started reading you know like those self-help books and things like that and I started finding out that all those self-help books are about learning about yourself as funny as that sounds is it's easy as it is is it's complicated as the story goes right and I think that from trying to learn about myself and learn about how to be a better person overall sometimes we all have a short temper and I have a short temper sometimes and I think that I have to figure out why why do you have a short temper what what are you so angry for what are you so upset for you know what is that problem and that's not to say I'm jumping off the handle at things and yelling at people and getting stupid and irate that's also to say that you know you do say stupid things sometimes I know I say stupid things and you know sometimes that's ignorance and sometimes that's just stupidity that's just being dumb right just just that's just not thinking correctly right or you're not expressing yourself properly or you've offended someone and you didn't really politically think that out and I know a lot of times I try and I try and focus on what I say and how I come across and that is part of self-help and I think that for me I need I need that I need to work on myself and I need to speak to people properly and some people need that and some people grew up having that I would consider myself you know a type-a personality and with that being said sometimes I you know I live life on the edge I want to live life in you know the space of adrenaline feel it pumping through my veins right I'm not going to jump out plain so I'm not doing that so it's all you guys that do that man kudos awesome but you know I think there's there's another side to that too I think that I think that just saying you're a type-a personality doesn't negate the fact that you have to be appropriate also you ever run across those high energy guys and they're just so full of energy and they're so polite and that's what I strive for all the time I don't have that all the time sometimes I'm rude sometimes I'm moody you know sometimes I just don't I don't want to deal with you so I'm looking grumpy you know give you the you know the head nod or the backup whatever you know whatever you want you know whatever you want to call it you know I don't I don't want to address you right and again I think that goes back to self-help what has put me in that space to not want to deal with things you say oh it's society it's this and that it's your mood it's your it's what you drink it's what you eat it was you put in your body why can't it just be all your mind why can't you just tell yourself to fix yourself the thing is you have to recognize it it's not always recognizable to people it's not always recognizable to yourself I know I don't always recognize when I'm being a jerk I have to see somebody else's face sometimes to realize oh you've said something offensive and you weren't even trying to you were just speaking your opinion and I know I do it to my friends and I don't mean to I'm just speaking out of turn sometimes right you don't think about it and you have to step back and think about what those things are and how those things are affecting you as a person and how you enter a situation again I think that goes back to self-help self-esteem working on yourself I want to work on myself also again I want to be the best that I can be for myself and for my loved ones and my kids and all the people that I encounter I want to be I want to be the most authentic person that I can be I want to speak truth and believe the truth that I speak and I want it to be the truth I don't want it to just be a made-up myth I want to speak that all the time and I want to be confident in speaking that and that's something we all have to think about is that confidence that we carry in our voice in ourselves how we approach a situation what we're doing I want to hone the right words I want to hone the right emotion I want to hone the right attitude vibration whatever you want to call it I want to hone that and I want to be in that presence with you I want to be in that space and I want to be in that space all the time but I just know that it's something I'm striving for I also strongly feel that you can speak whatever you want into existence I truly believe that a long time ago I grew up thinking that I could do anything be anything and I wasn't really sure that I could do that you know purposefully or I didn't I wasn't sure that that that was a thing I believed it I really did believe it but I wasn't really sure what I believed was true I just believed it and I I was brought up to believe that I was brought up to believe that I can speak whatever I want into existence and how was I taught that you can be anything you want to be you can be anything you want to be for my whole existence in my life I have believed that true I've sincerely believed that to be true and I've run into all kinds of situations I've run into racism I've run into gangs I've run into guns I've run into violence in the emergency department working I've run into threats people following me to my home people threatening my family so I don't say that lightly I say that to say I still truly believe that I can speak into existence whatever I want maybe it's persistence maybe it's me speaking to get into existence maybe it's me working hard maybe it's fate maybe it's God and if you truly believe all of those things especially if you're walking with Christ if you believe that then you know you can speak anything into existence I know I got real spiritual and I'm not hugely spiritual but that's what I think about when I think I can do anything I want to do anything I want to become is it's open to me and I've blocked blessings definitely blocked my blessings before not knowing hindsight is 20-20 right but again I think this goes back to all of the beginning those self-help books they're all about finding yourself knowing yourself believing in yourself trusting in yourself understanding yourself believing that you have confidence to do whatever it is you want to do believing that you have the ability to achieve the things that you want to achieve that being said go off and be fucking amazing man do what the fuck you're gonna do go be the greatest of great people love you sometimes we feel alone and you don't have to know that everybody is out there touching you loving you and thinking about you we're not directly thinking about you all the time now you're weird for that but in the consciousness of life we're all here go outside wave to your neighbor and say hello establish a relationship I'll talk about that another time I appreciate y'all listen to me babble and talk about the things that I want to talk about have a good night until next time
