Transcript

03:28Welcome, welcome, welcome. Welcome one in. Welcome to the 411 podcast and welcome to this transformational Tuesday.

03:39Before we go ahead and get started, of course, I have to give a very special thank you to my executive producer, my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

03:48Thank you so much for allowing me another opportunity to come out here and give everyone this 411 podcast.

03:58I also want to thank each and every one of you out there because without your love, support, liking, commenting, sharing, inviting me into your space, none of this will be possible.

04:13We are here, this six vitality, six years later, and I just think back to when I first started and we have come a long way.

04:25Black Diamond community, we have come a long way. I can actually say that this is a true community at this moment.

04:34And again, nothing but gratitude.

04:36So we're here, episode three.

04:42What your body is carrying, your wallet is funding.

04:47What your body is carrying, your wallet is funding.

04:51Song of the day, baggage, by none other than my girl, the queen of hip-hop soul, Miss Mary J. Blige, released in 2005 off of her album, The Breakthrough.

05:07So as we are in this new year, I know a lot of people, they do New Year's resolutions and they have different rituals of what they need to do when they're bringing in the new year.

05:19And then typically a week or two into it, people fall off and definitely a month, you're like, New Year, what?

05:28So the song of the day, baggage, forget about the new year, forget about the rituals, forget about the resolutions.

05:36Every single day that we wake up, we have another opportunity to do it again.

05:41Patti LaBelle has a song called A New Day.

05:43So when you are granted a new day, the rhetorical question that I have to ask each and every one of you out there is, what baggage are you going to be carrying into your new day?

05:57Because baggage is when you know that you have some issues, you know that you have some drama, you know that you're carrying some heavy weight, some heavy load, like you know, like yeah, like you understand and you know.

06:13But you don't have to carry it in.

06:17You don't have to carry the heavy load.

06:19You can start to release, you can start to let go and let God and let him handle all of the baggage, all of the heavy weight, all of the heavy load.

06:29You don't have to.

06:30So in this new year, this new journey, new life, new love, new situation, whatever the case may be, are you carrying any baggage?

06:46Because as I reflect and I look back after all of the that I've been through, what I know that I'm carrying such a lighter load today than what I used to in the past.

07:04I used to try to be this superhero, carrying every single situation, every issue, not only mine's but yours, always trying to lift up and help and encourage people who don't even want to help themselves.

07:23Always trying to teach and I was going to say train, but that's not a good word.

07:31Typically training is in a workplace.

07:32I'm so used to training people, but always trying to uplift somebody who does not want to be, does not want anything good for themselves.

07:42They're complacent, their status quo, they're okay with where they're at.

07:45And then here comes the old version of me who always wanted to pick somebody up and show them what good is, show them that they could be better.

07:58There's something to be said.

07:59And I don't have the right scripture, so I'm not even going to take it there.

08:06But when you know that you have something going for yourself.

08:10When you know that God has blessed you with something.

08:17There are certain groups, people, folk that we should not be interacting with.

08:24And when we try to help and uplift the people that we are forbidden to interact with.

08:35We can cause some issues for ourselves.

08:40Causes us to take on extra stress, carry extra bags.

08:45See, we are not responsible for regulating anybody else's nervous system.

08:52So the question that I had to ask myself, why would you want to try to fix and clean up and shape and mold somebody else when God has given you enough work?

09:05And you got enough on your plate managing your own nervous system, focusing on that self-control, focusing on discipline.

09:15Who do you think you are?

09:16See, I think you guys, sometimes you have to get with yourself.

09:19Who do you think you are to try to be able to do God's work and manage somebody else's nervous system?

09:27And when you have a full-time job managing your own, get it together.

09:34Don't carry that baggage.

09:36Don't carry nobody else's baggage.

09:37First of all, you got to focus on enlightening your load, making sure that your baggage is in line so that you can catch that train.

09:44You can catch that bus.

09:46You can do what you need to do.

09:47And you ain't held down by no extra weight.

09:52Don't take on nobody else's burden.

09:55Don't carry nobody else's load.

09:58And most certainly, lighten yours.

10:01Song of the Day, Baggage, Mary J. Blige, 2005, The Breakthrough Album.

10:08So tonight, since this is Transformational Tuesday, I want to focus on the hidden financial cost of neglecting your physical health.

10:20See, when it comes to debt-free living, there are so many different ways that we can look at it.

10:26And I've broken this down through Black Diamond Consultations into four pillars.

10:32We have the spiritual pillar when it comes to debt-free living.

10:36We have the mental pillar.

10:37We have the physical, which we're going to speak about tonight, and then the financial.

10:45See, it's not always about the money.

10:47It's the actions.

10:50It's the thought processes.

10:52There are a lot of things that can affect our financial wellness.

11:04And tonight, we're going to talk about the hidden financial cost of neglecting your physical health.

11:13Now, tonight, we're going to take it to Ohio.

11:14How mystical is it that we are in Ohio tonight?

11:20Because I've been meeting so many people from all over.

11:26And I was just speaking to somebody from Ohio, and we're talking about different restaurants and things like that.

11:31And, of course, here we go.

11:32You know, food.

11:34One of the, you know, one of the main topics that I love to talk about because I like to eat.

11:39So, I'm just keeping it real.

11:42But tonight, we're going to help out Mr. Raymond from Dayton, Ohio.

11:48I've been to Sandusky, Ohio.

11:50I'm not sure if Dayton is anywhere close to Sandusky, but that's the only part of Ohio that I know.

11:58Not that I know, but that I've been to.

12:00I know Cleveland is next to Sandusky.

12:03So, Raymond says, Laren, I didn't think my body had anything to do with my money.

12:09I work long hours.

12:16Mostly sitting.

12:18I grab food when I can.

12:20Fast food.

12:22Gas station snacks.

12:24Energy drinks to keep me moving.

12:26By the time I get home, I'm exhausted and stiff.

12:30Exercise feels like another job I don't have time for.

12:34Last year, my doctor told me my blood pressure was high.

12:37This year, it's worse.

12:38Now, I'm on medication, co-pays, prescriptions, follow-up visits.

12:43I looked at my bank statement last month and realized how much I spent reacting instead of preventing.

12:50Medical bills.

12:52Convenience.

12:53Food.

12:54Pain relief.

12:55All of it adds up quietly.

12:57I tell myself, I'll get it together once things slow down, but things never slow down.

13:03The truth is, I don't take care of my body because I don't feel worth the effort most of the days.

13:11That's hard to admit as a grown man.

13:13I show it for everyone else.

13:15I just don't show it for myself.

13:18Now, my debt includes the cost of ignoring warning signs I felt years ago.

13:23I want to live longer.

13:24I want to feel better.

13:26But I also don't want to keep paying for the damage I could have addressed earlier.

13:30How do you rebuild discipline when neglect has been your normal?

13:38Well, Raymond, we're going to go ahead and take it to the top.

13:43And I'm going to do my best to give you what I can give you.

13:49In this, please know that I am not a financial advisor.

13:55I am not a financial planner.

13:57I am a financial coach.

13:59And I basically focus on debt-free living through four different pillars.

14:06Spiritual, mental, physical, and financial wellness.

14:10I truly believe that that is the path that will get you on the right track for financial wellness.

14:18Ultimate debt-free living.

14:21To be debt-free, unplugged, from the matrix.

14:28I truly believe that that is the step process.

14:32Focus on your spiritual first.

14:34And after you focus on the spiritual, you understand and you know who you are.

14:39Then you move to the mental.

14:40And you focus on reprogramming your brain, your mental, from all the things and the nonsense that you have been programmed since you were a child.

14:52Relationship issues.

14:54All types of stuff.

14:57Whoever you, and friendships, whoever you interact with, you get programmed by the people who are closest to you.

15:04The people who you've looked up to.

15:08After that, now we're going to get to where we're going to speak about tonight, the physical.

15:12Once you get, well, spiritually, mentally, as you are entering into the physical realm, when you're aligned spiritually and mentally, you'll realize what you are doing in the physical.

15:26And that's where the change comes in.

15:29You'll start to say, up, I see this red flag.

15:32Up, I understand this.

15:33Let me pump the brakes.

15:33Let me do something different because I understand and know who I am today.

15:37And this is not what we do.

15:43Those three pillars, spiritual, mental, physical, will ultimately catapult you in the financial realm.

15:51Again, this is my opinion.

15:54This is what I teach through Black Diamond Consultations.

15:57I am not telling anybody what to do.

16:00I am not an expert.

16:02I just speak from real life experiences.

16:06So now, Mr. Raymond says,

16:10I don't think my body had anything to do with my money.

16:15I didn't think my body had anything to do with my money,

16:18which I see through this letter that you're understanding that it does.

16:24Because if you're spending your money on food,

16:32this could be a reason why some people are overweight.

16:36Because they eat a lot.

16:40So with that scenario, I'm not saying that this is the case with you.

16:45But your body does have something to do with your money because people who do too much eating

16:54and they don't know how to push away from the table,

16:57their bank accounts most likely most of the time is going to look different

17:01versus somebody who does.

17:03Understand this.

17:05Now, you work long hours.

17:06I'm going to stop right here.

17:08Actually, I'm going to continue.

17:10You work long hours mostly sitting.

17:11Okay, so you work long hours, which is never a good thing.

17:16I know some people think that that's a great thing.

17:21But working yourself around the clock,

17:24you're basically working yourself into the ground.

17:29People who work late night, overnight shifts,

17:32they call it the graveyard shift.

17:34They call it a graveyard shift for a reason.

17:36Because that's exactly where you'll be headed to if you think you're going to do that for a long time,

17:41a long time, long term,

17:43and be able to sustain that in your older age.

17:47As you get older,

17:52ideally,

17:55it's best if you work less.

17:57You need to stay active,

17:58but as far as working yourself down

18:00with these high-pressure jobs

18:03and things like that as you are older,

18:06it doesn't work.

18:09Mostly sitting when you're not active.

18:11I don't care whether you're working or not working.

18:13You have to be active throughout the day.

18:15Sitting is not going to get you anywhere.

18:19I mean, it's going to get you somewhere,

18:21but it's not going to get you where you want to be.

18:25You grab food when you can.

18:27Keyword, food, when you can.

18:29So you don't have like a set routine or regimen.

18:33That could be a problem.

18:36First of all,

18:37eating excessively and all the time

18:39and thinking you need to snack

18:40and you need to do all of these things again.

18:42Only thing I can say is just do your own due diligence,

18:44do your own research

18:45because I know people are going to feel

18:47a certain way about this,

18:48but a lot of people think that,

18:50oh, you got to breakfast

18:51is the most important meal of the day

18:54and you got to eat

18:55and you got to do this

18:56and you got to do that.

18:57Sometimes we need to just stop eating

18:59for a little bit

19:00and let our systems reset.

19:06That's a whole nother story,

19:07which we'll get into another time,

19:09but get yourself on some sort of system

19:14and it's okay if you miss a meal.

19:21This is just coming from me.

19:23Now, I know if you got health concerns

19:25and medical things

19:26and different ailments

19:29that that might,

19:30you're going to need to consult with your doctor.

19:33You're going to need to do your own research,

19:34but in some cases,

19:35I'm just speaking for the majority,

19:40the larger group of people

19:42who don't have any current issues.

19:47Sometimes you probably will benefit

19:49from backing up a little bit.

19:53Fast food, right there,

19:55that's an issue.

20:00Wait, come on now.

20:01A lot of people know that fast food

20:03is not good for you

20:04and they put stuff

20:06and there's chemicals in there

20:07to get you addicted to it

20:09and of course it tastes better

20:10than what you could possibly do at home.

20:16Although, on the flip side,

20:18depending on how you dice that thing up

20:20and slice that up,

20:22a good home-cooked meal

20:23is much better than fast food,

20:25but if you continuously consume fast food,

20:27it's going to alter your taste buds

20:29because there are chemicals

20:31and there are things in the fast food

20:33that is going to

20:34get you all tricked up

20:36and messed up

20:37into thinking that

20:38that tastes better

20:39than what a good home-cooked meal does.

20:41Now, if you've got somebody

20:43who that's a whole other situation.

20:45Gas station snacks,

20:46how much is that costing you?

20:50Places like gas stations,

20:52you know, your typical,

20:54I'm not going to name these places,

20:56but you see them,

20:57I'm not going to name it,

21:00but it's chain gas stations.

21:03Just put it that way.

21:05Their chips and snacks

21:08and things like that

21:09are always marked up.

21:12Energy drinks to keep you moving,

21:14that's a problem.

21:15We already know

21:16that energy drinks are no good,

21:18riddled with sugar and caffeine

21:20and not good for the heart.

21:25And you get these spikes,

21:27you probably are revved up

21:29on caffeine throughout the day

21:31and then by the time you get home,

21:32you're exhausted

21:33and you don't feel like

21:34you want to do anything.

21:37So, again,

21:38I can't tell you what to do,

21:40but I used to drink

21:41the energy drinks before.

21:42I used to think that

21:43that was okay

21:43when I was in a retail world

21:44and, you know,

21:46all of these same things,

21:47working,

21:48working,

21:49working,

21:49taking all types of overtime,

21:52working around the clock.

21:53I'd go in from

21:53three o'clock in the morning

21:55and I wouldn't leave

21:55until 10 p.m.

21:59If you're young,

22:00do it while you're young,

22:01but trust and believe.

22:02I don't,

22:03I don't believe.

22:06Actually,

22:06I know better than that.

22:07I know better than

22:09to even try to attempt

22:10to do something like that today.

22:12You said last year

22:14your doctor told you

22:15that your blood pressure

22:16was high

22:17and then this year

22:18you said it's worse

22:19and now you're on medication

22:21and because of that

22:22you have co-pays,

22:23prescriptions,

22:23and follow-up visits.

22:27That's the problem.

22:31Now,

22:32if you have all of those things

22:33and you don't want to

22:34take the medicine

22:34and you want,

22:36you got to do

22:36something different.

22:38And again,

22:38that's the baggage

22:40that you might be carrying.

22:42I can't say that

22:43one way or the other

22:44because I'm not you

22:45and I'm not in that situation,

22:47but

22:47if you are told

22:50certain things

22:52and you ignore

22:52what the doctors say

22:54and

22:55let's just put it this way.

22:58Now that we are here

22:59and this is reality,

23:00I'm going to say this again.

23:03Now that we are here

23:04and this is reality,

23:05this is your world.

23:07If you know that

23:08this is the situation

23:09that you're in,

23:10the question

23:11that I have to ask you

23:12is what are you going

23:14to do different

23:15today versus

23:16what you did yesterday?

23:19If you know

23:19you can't eat certain foods

23:21because X, Y, and Z happens,

23:23are you going

23:26to just take the pills?

23:29Are you going to follow

23:30the doctor's order

23:31so you can continue

23:31to do the same thing

23:33and get the same results?

23:35That's the part

23:36that unfortunately

23:38sometimes I just

23:39don't get it.

23:40If you are told

23:41that you have

23:42X, Y, and Z ailment,

23:44if you are told

23:45that this is the situation

23:46that it is

23:46and it is due

23:48to your diet,

23:50it is due

23:51to lack of exercise,

23:52it is due

23:53to all of these things

23:54that I'm sure

23:55that you'll sit down

23:57and speak with your doctor,

23:58when you walk out

24:00and you have

24:01this information,

24:02the next day

24:03when you wake up,

24:05why,

24:06and this is not

24:07just for tonight,

24:08this is not just

24:09for Raymond

24:11because there are

24:12so many people,

24:13especially in the

24:14Black community,

24:15why do we continue

24:16to just do the same

24:17thing the next day?

24:20Why don't we take

24:21our health serious?

24:28Let's repeat this.

24:32Why don't we take

24:33our health serious?

24:35Black community.

24:39Let's take this serious.

24:41Why do we accept

24:41whatever the doctor says?

24:43Why do we accept

24:43whatever pills

24:44they give us?

24:46And then we continuously

24:47continue to

24:48eat the way we eat.

24:55I got to take

24:56my high blood pressure pills

24:57because I'm getting ready

24:58to eat this

25:00or I'm getting ready

25:01to do this

25:01or I'm getting ready

25:02to...

25:03But again,

25:04again,

25:05I don't know.

25:07I'm not saying that,

25:08you know,

25:09this is you,

25:10Raymond,

25:10but I'm just saying

25:11I understand

25:12and know

25:12where I come from.

25:16You look at your

25:17bank statements

25:18last month

25:18and you realize

25:19how much I spend

25:20reacting

25:20instead of preventing.

25:23That is a key point.

25:25Reaction

25:25versus prevention

25:26because

25:27you're going to pay

25:28money for these

25:29prescription pills

25:31and these

25:31doctor visits

25:32and this back and forth.

25:35How much money

25:36would you save

25:36if you just invested

25:38more money

25:39into your food?

25:41Eating better.

25:44Vitamins.

25:46Going to the

25:47health food store.

25:48Going to the

25:48farmer's market.

25:49Getting fresh food

25:50versus going to

25:51fast food.

25:52And this is a

25:57situation

25:58that happens.

26:02And this is why

26:03I say you got to

26:03focus on the

26:04spiritual

26:04and you have to

26:06focus on that

26:07mental.

26:08And by focusing

26:10on the spiritual

26:10and the mental,

26:11it is going to

26:12ultimately catapult

26:13you into doing

26:15things differently

26:15in the physical

26:16realm.

26:17Because if you

26:18don't take care

26:20of your mental

26:21health

26:23when it comes

26:24to debt-free

26:25living,

26:26you are not

26:27going to show

26:28up in the

26:28physical realm

26:29properly.

26:30You're still

26:30going to be

26:31making mistakes.

26:33Not going to,

26:33well,

26:35yeah,

26:35let's just,

26:36again,

26:36my opinion,

26:37I'm not sitting

26:38here trying to

26:39say anything,

26:40but you'll be

26:40making poor

26:41decisions when it

26:42comes into the

26:42physical realm.

26:44If your mental

26:45isn't on lock,

26:47you haven't done

26:49your work when it

26:49comes to how

26:50you think and

26:51feel about

26:52money,

26:52you'll go in

26:53and thinking

26:54that something

26:55is more expensive

26:56than it really

26:56is and not

26:57look at the

26:57long-term

26:58effects that it

26:59is going to

26:59have on you

27:01and your

27:01body.

27:04You will

27:05walk into

27:07looking at

27:10such things

27:11from a

27:12scarcity

27:12mindset versus

27:14an abundance

27:15mindset.

27:16And you'll

27:16make scarcity

27:18decisions and

27:19not take care

27:20of your

27:20health because

27:21you'll be

27:22looking at

27:22price tags

27:23and you'll

27:25look at it

27:26from the

27:26wrong lens.

27:29And by you

27:29looking at it

27:30from the

27:30wrong lens,

27:31you'll make

27:31poor decisions

27:32and you'll

27:33neglect your

27:34health and

27:34then this is

27:35what happens.

27:36And then it's

27:36a trick because

27:38you end up

27:39paying more

27:39in the long

27:41run versus

27:42what it would

27:42have taken

27:43for you to

27:44spend a few

27:45more dollars

27:46on the

27:47vitamins,

27:48a few more

27:49moments in

27:51the gym.

27:53It is due

27:54to coming

27:57from a

27:58scarcity

27:58mindset,

28:00looking at

28:02price tags,

28:03not saying that

28:04you shouldn't

28:04look at price

28:05tags, but

28:06looking at it

28:06from the

28:07wrong lens,

28:08not looking

28:09at the end

28:10results,

28:11not having

28:14enough mental

28:15fortitude to

28:16know better

28:17and to do

28:19better.

28:25I was

28:26listening to

28:29Steve Harvey

28:30years ago,

28:32years ago,

28:33and he was

28:34saying how

28:36he came

28:36across someone

28:37who took

28:39their health

28:40very serious

28:41and the

28:41amount of

28:42vitamins and

28:43this and

28:44that and

28:45that amount

28:46of money

28:46that it

28:47cost for

28:48the specific

28:49individual to

28:51start their

28:51day.

28:52They spent a

28:53significant amount.

28:54They dropped

28:55several hundred

28:57dollars on

28:59their monthly

28:59routine when it

29:00came to what

29:02they needed

29:02to live.

29:05and Steve

29:09at one

29:09point was

29:10saying,

29:12wow, this

29:12is a lot

29:13of money.

29:14And then the

29:14guy had to

29:15break it down

29:15and say,

29:16okay, you

29:17think that

29:17this is a

29:18lot of

29:18money?

29:19Add up.

29:21You can't

29:22afford to

29:23not do

29:23this because

29:24get your

29:25calculator and

29:26add up what

29:26it's going to

29:27cost you if

29:27you don't do

29:28this.

29:29See, this is a

29:30lot of times

29:31when it comes

29:31to debt-free

29:32living.

29:33People may

29:33think that

29:34financial

29:36coaching or

29:37financial

29:38planner or

29:39advisors or

29:41even like

29:42we're speaking

29:43about what

29:44it takes to

29:45fuel your

29:46body from

29:48a healthy

29:48way, that

29:49that might

29:49be expensive.

29:52The question

29:53that I submit

29:54to you, if

29:55you're out

29:55there thinking

29:56like that,

29:56probably thinking

29:57from a scarcity

29:58mindset, how

30:01much is it

30:01costing you when

30:02you don't think

30:03this way?

30:04When you

30:04don't engage,

30:07interact,

30:08seek, find,

30:10how much is

30:11it going to

30:11cost you in

30:11the long

30:12run?

30:19Now, Mr.

30:20Raymond says,

30:21I tell myself

30:22I'll get it

30:22together once

30:23things slow

30:23down, but

30:24things never

30:24slow down.

30:27That's life.

30:27that's why

30:31you can't

30:31say, oh, I'll

30:32just push

30:33it off and

30:34start tomorrow

30:35and then

30:36tomorrow comes

30:37and I'll

30:38just do it

30:39next week

30:40or I'll

30:41do it when

30:42things get

30:42better.

30:44You have to

30:45take action

30:45today.

30:46the biggest

30:50person and

30:52the biggest

30:53challenge in

30:54life is

30:56defeating

30:56yourself.

30:58Things like

30:59that, I tell

30:59myself I'll

31:00get it together

31:00once things

31:01slow down, but

31:01things never

31:02slow down.

31:04Defeating

31:04yourself is the

31:05biggest challenge

31:06that you'll

31:06have.

31:07Like I said

31:08earlier, you

31:09don't have

31:10time to

31:13be focusing

31:14on somebody

31:16else's nervous

31:17system.

31:18It's not

31:18your job.

31:19You have a

31:19full-time job

31:20managing your

31:20own, and I'll

31:21say that again.

31:22You do not

31:24have enough

31:25time, energy,

31:26or resources

31:28to be managing

31:30somebody else's

31:31nervous system

31:31when God has

31:32given you enough

31:33work in

31:33managing your

31:34own.

31:36Complacency,

31:38procrastination,

31:39being your

31:41own worst

31:41enemy, that

31:44is your job

31:44to defeat

31:46self.

31:49Defeat all

31:50of those

31:50things, conquer

31:51all of those

31:52things that I

31:52spoke about

31:53because it's

31:54in all of

31:55us.

32:01Now you

32:02say the

32:02truth is I

32:03don't take

32:03care of my

32:04body because

32:04I don't feel

32:05worth the

32:05effort most

32:06of the days.

32:07Again, think

32:09about the

32:09things that

32:10you are

32:10doing.

32:11That fast

32:12food is

32:13going to

32:13make you

32:13want to

32:13feel sluggish.

32:15It's going

32:15to make you

32:15not want to

32:16do anything.

32:17And I

32:18can't tell

32:19you how

32:20my life

32:22changed once

32:24I decided to

32:25back away from

32:25a lot of the

32:26fast food.

32:26Not saying

32:27that I don't

32:27eat it today,

32:28but it

32:29definitely is

32:29not at the

32:30capacity that

32:30it used to

32:31be before

32:312020.

32:33Because I

32:34was in

32:34somebody's

32:35drive-thru for

32:36breakfast, lunch,

32:37and dinner,

32:37and sometimes a

32:38snack.

32:39Not to

32:40mention how

32:40much money

32:41it was

32:41costing.

32:48And not

32:49to mention

32:49how I

32:51felt after

32:51I ate.

32:54I felt

32:54like garbage.

32:56I felt

32:56disgusting most

32:59of the days.

33:00Like, I'm just

33:00keeping it real.

33:01I would look at

33:01myself and be

33:02like, ugh,

33:03like, what did I

33:04just do?

33:05Why?

33:06Did I really

33:07need to eat

33:07like that?

33:10And then

33:11don't get

33:11yourself wrapped

33:12up and

33:12trapped up

33:13with somebody

33:13who has

33:14just a

33:15equal bad

33:18habit as

33:18you.

33:19Because then

33:19it's even

33:20harder to

33:20get out of

33:21that cycle.

33:22This is why

33:22you have to

33:23be careful

33:23with the

33:23people that

33:24you surround

33:24yourself with.

33:25Because you

33:26are only an

33:26average of the

33:27five closest

33:28people that

33:28you surround

33:29yourself with.

33:31That's why

33:32it's important.

33:33Les Brown

33:34says,

33:37OQP,

33:39only quality

33:40people.

33:42When you're

33:42on this

33:43debt-free

33:43living journey,

33:44you have to

33:44be very

33:45careful about

33:46the people

33:46that you

33:46surround

33:47yourself with

33:47and you

33:47have to be

33:48very careful

33:49about sharing

33:50your goals

33:50and your

33:51dreams and

33:51where you're

33:52going.

33:52Because if

33:53people are

33:53not aligned

33:54and they're

33:55not on the

33:55same page

33:56as you,

33:57they're going

33:57to think

33:58that you're

33:58weird.

33:59They're going

33:59to think

33:59that you're

33:59crazy.

34:00They're

34:01going to

34:01dismiss

34:02every single

34:03step that

34:04you take

34:04and have

34:05you second

34:05guessing and

34:06questioning

34:06yourself as

34:07if you're

34:07doing something

34:08wrong.

34:12Now,

34:13here we

34:13are,

34:14Mr.

34:14Raymond,

34:14and you

34:14said your

34:15debt includes

34:15the cost of

34:16ignoring warning

34:17signs that

34:18you felt years

34:19ago, that

34:19the doctors

34:20warned you

34:20about years

34:21ago.

34:24Now,

34:25you said you

34:25want to live

34:26longer, you

34:26want to feel

34:27better, but

34:29you also don't

34:29want to keep

34:30paying for

34:30damages you

34:31could have

34:31addressed earlier.

34:32Now, I

34:33don't know

34:34the full

34:34situation, I

34:35only know

34:36this is from

34:37a surface

34:37level, but

34:38one thing

34:39that I do

34:39know is

34:40that some

34:40things can

34:41be reversed.

34:45It's like

34:45if you know

34:46that your

34:48car needs

34:51repair, you

34:53can either

34:53do one or

34:54two things,

34:55you can

34:55continue to

34:56drive it and

34:57make it

34:58worse, or

34:59you can

34:59stop driving

35:00it and

35:00have somebody

35:01check it

35:01out and

35:02get it

35:03fixed.

35:05What's

35:05going to

35:05cost more?

35:07You

35:07stopping and

35:08pulling over

35:08and getting

35:09it towed or

35:09getting it to

35:10where it needs

35:10to get to

35:11and having

35:12somebody take

35:12a look at

35:13it, or you

35:14continuously

35:15driving it,

35:16creating more

35:16damage.

35:17What's going

35:17to cost more?

35:18Like, you

35:19understand and

35:19know that, yes,

35:20you're going to

35:20have to pay.

35:21We're all

35:21going to have

35:22to pay one

35:22way or the

35:23other because

35:23nothing in

35:24life is free.

35:25You're going

35:25to pay from

35:26a spiritual

35:26realm, mental,

35:28physical, financially,

35:29emotionally.

35:30You're going to

35:30have to pay one

35:31type of way in

35:32this world because

35:32there ain't

35:32nothing in this

35:33world for free.

35:36But the

35:36question is, how

35:37much are you

35:38going to pay?

35:40If you know

35:41that something is

35:42wrong from the

35:43physical aspect,

35:44your health,

35:46are you going

35:47to put the

35:48brakes on and

35:49do something a

35:50little bit

35:50different and

35:51work on that

35:52repair?

35:52Or are you

35:53going to

35:53continue with

35:54the same bad

35:55habits that

35:57got you to

35:57where you are

35:58here today?

36:01And just put a

36:02little band-aid

36:03over it because

36:04whatever doctor,

36:05whatever situation

36:08may be that this

36:09cures this, this

36:10cures that.

36:13I say, again,

36:17I can't give

36:19anybody any

36:19type of advice.

36:20But when you

36:22start to look at

36:23the natural

36:23things that

36:24God has given

36:25us on this

36:30earth, the

36:32trees, the

36:33fruits, the

36:34berries, the

36:34seeds, the

36:35nuts, all of

36:36these things that

36:39God said that we

36:39can eat freely from

36:41when he put man

36:42in a garden.

36:47Think about all

36:48of those great

36:48things that he

36:52allowed us to.

36:54It's here for

36:55us.

36:56The health

36:56benefits that

36:58are in fruits,

37:00vegetables, herbs,

37:03the spices.

37:11Yes, it might

37:11take more time to

37:13do research and

37:14to figure some of

37:14these things out.

37:15yes, you might

37:17need to do some

37:18extra prep in

37:20your home.

37:23You can either

37:24do that or you

37:25can just take the

37:26easy route out and

37:27continue to eat the

37:28fast food, continue

37:29to go and get the

37:32convenience store

37:33snacks, continue

37:35to not get the

37:37rest that you

37:38need, continue to

37:38work yourself into

37:40the ground, continue

37:41to go along with

37:43the plan and

37:44accept whatever

37:45someone else says

37:46about you,

37:47neglecting what

37:48God said about

37:49you, and

37:53continue to get

37:53what you're going

37:54to get.

37:54But I do know

37:55what the definition

37:57of insanity is.

38:00I've learned that

38:01because I used to

38:03be insane, but I'm

38:05so thankful that I've

38:06been delivered because

38:07as I have said

38:09before, I

38:10understand and

38:11know that God

38:12has not given us a

38:13spirit of fear, but

38:15of power and of

38:15love and of a

38:16sound mind.

38:19Being insane is

38:21getting up each

38:22and every day,

38:23doing the same

38:25thing over and

38:26over and over

38:26again and

38:27expecting different

38:28results.

38:30And I repeat that

38:31again because

38:32sometimes I have to

38:32make sure that I

38:34understand and I

38:35don't forget where

38:36I come from.

38:38But getting up each

38:39and every day,

38:40doing the same

38:41thing over and

38:42over again and

38:43expecting different

38:44results.

38:45And another thing

38:46that I've

38:46understand and

38:47learned during this

38:48process, when

38:52people show you

38:53who they are,

38:54believe them the

38:55first time.

38:56Not the second,

38:57third, fourth,

38:58fifth, sixth, but

39:00the first time.

39:01And this ties into

39:02insanity because if

39:04you are wrapped up

39:06and trapped up into

39:07a situation, but

39:08yet each and

39:09every day you

39:11get up expecting

39:12the person to

39:16be this different

39:16person when

39:19they've already

39:19done showed you

39:20from day one who

39:21they are, that's

39:25insane.

39:27So there's a lot

39:30going on here from

39:31the physical realm

39:33as far as how

39:34you're showing

39:35up with money,

39:36how you're

39:36showing up and

39:37spending your

39:38money and taking

39:39your health for

39:41granted.

39:42Because see, when

39:43you focus on the

39:44spiritual realm and

39:45you understand and

39:46you know who you

39:47are, you know

39:48whose you are, you

39:50focus on that

39:51mental aspect, you

39:53go back to

39:54wherever, how far

39:56back you have to

39:57go back to heal

39:58from the trauma,

40:00to break away from

40:02the chains that

40:05have held you

40:05down for years,

40:08unlearn some

40:09of the most

40:12ridiculous things

40:14that you have

40:15been learned,

40:17excuse me, that

40:17you have been

40:18programmed to

40:20accept and

40:21understand during

40:25your childhood.

40:25Because this is

40:26where most of

40:27these things happen.

40:27You got to go

40:28back and you got

40:28to look at your

40:29childhood.

40:29childhood, what

40:31did you grow up

40:32with?

40:32What did you

40:33experience?

40:35Know that you

40:35can unfollow, know

40:36you can unsubscribe,

40:38know you can back

40:39away from all of

40:40those things that

40:42your ancestors,

40:43whether it's your

40:44great-great

40:45grandmother,

40:47grandmother,

40:49father,

40:52auntie, uncle,

40:53I don't care who

40:54it is.

40:55So what?

40:56You do not have

40:57to sign up for

40:58that plan anymore.

40:59or you can

41:02just look at

41:03them.

41:04All I have to

41:04say is just

41:05look at your

41:06family and

41:08whatever they

41:09have done and

41:09whatever they

41:10continue to do,

41:11you can accept

41:13it and do

41:13nothing.

41:14You can sit

41:15here and accept

41:16it and do

41:16absolutely nothing

41:17different and

41:19you will

41:19subconsciously

41:20continue to do

41:23everything that

41:24they do and

41:25you'll get

41:25everything that

41:26they get.

41:26it takes

41:27a special

41:28individual to

41:28say absolutely

41:29not, I'm

41:29going to do

41:30something

41:30different.

41:32You focus on

41:33changing that

41:34mental,

41:35you'll see a

41:40difference in a

41:40physical realm

41:41because it

41:42starts in the

41:43spiritual first.

41:44You will see a

41:45difference.

41:46again, I'm

41:50not an

41:50expert.

41:52This is just a

41:53path and a

41:54journey that I'm

41:56on.

43:47I have to

43:48say this

43:48is truly a

43:49way of

43:49life.

43:50And what

43:51I had to

43:52learn coming

43:53out of

43:57coming into

43:5826, I've

43:59learned that

43:59you can't

44:00take everybody

44:01with you.

44:02Not

44:03everybody's

44:03going to be

44:04able to go

44:04on this

44:05journey.

44:05God has

44:06only given

44:07a few

44:08select people

44:09the eyes

44:10to be able

44:11to see

44:11and the

44:13ears to be

44:13able to

44:14hear as

44:14well.

44:17And

44:18if a

44:19man be

44:19ignorant,

44:20let him

44:20be ignorant.

44:21That's what

44:22I've learned.

44:22If a

44:22man be

44:23ignorant,

44:24let him

44:25be ignorant.

44:26It is

44:26not my

44:28job to

44:28go back

44:29and forth

44:29trying to

44:30pull somebody

44:36done that

44:37majority

45:35questions

45:37Let me

45:37know how

45:38you feel

45:38about

45:38this

45:40six

45:40vitality

45:41all

45:42around.

45:42Again,

45:43you can

45:43text me

45:44609-200-1098.

45:48Burning

45:48questions.

45:49I want

45:50to leave

45:50you with

45:51this for

45:52you to

45:53think about.

45:55What is

45:56costing you

45:56financially

45:57and personally

45:57to delay

46:00caring for

46:00your body

46:02you depend

46:04on every

46:04day?

46:04Let me

46:05back that

46:06thing up

46:07a bit.

46:10What is

46:11it costing

46:11you financially

46:12and personally

46:13when you

46:15delay

46:15caring for

46:17your body,

46:18the body

46:19that you

46:19depend on

46:20every single

46:20day?

46:21What is

46:22it costing

46:23you?

46:24Financially

46:25and personally

46:26when you

46:27delay

46:27caring for

46:28your body,

46:29that same

46:30body that

46:31you depend

46:32on every

46:32single day

46:33because

46:34health is

46:37wealth.

46:38If you

46:39don't have

46:39health,

46:40you can't

46:41get that

46:41wealth.

46:43Health is

46:43wealth.

46:45And that's

46:46why spending

46:46that extra

46:47few dollars

46:47for that

46:48salad.

46:50And again,

46:51listen,

46:51I know

46:52the burgers,

46:53the fries,

46:54all of that

46:54stuff sounds

46:55good.

46:58I'm a

46:58pescatarian

46:59and, you

47:00know, I

47:01get so many

47:01options as

47:02well.

47:03And there

47:04are times

47:05where I

47:05could back

47:06up a little

47:06bit and

47:06stop with

47:07the fries.

47:08You either

47:09want this

47:09or you

47:09want the

47:10greens or

47:11you want

47:11the fries.

47:12And I

47:13have to

47:13get with

47:14myself

47:15sometimes and

47:15say,

47:16you know

47:16what,

47:16Laren?

47:17Now, you

47:18know, you

47:18could have

47:18got the

47:18healthier

47:19option.

47:21You know,

47:21you could

47:22have.

47:23So it's

47:23just, again,

47:25like I said

47:26before,

47:27everything starts

47:28with self.

47:29You don't

47:30need to focus

47:31on anybody

47:32else's nervous

47:32system.

47:33That is not,

47:35your job is

47:35to focus on

47:36yours.

47:37You have a,

47:39you got a

47:40full plate.

47:40You got enough

47:41on your plate

47:41focusing on

47:42your own

47:42nervous system.

47:44There are

47:45going to be

47:45times where

47:46distractions show

47:48up.

47:48There are going

47:49to be times

47:49where, you

47:50know, going

47:51to this

47:52restaurant is

47:53a little bit

47:53easier than,

47:54you know,

47:55sticking to

47:55the plan

47:56and doing

47:57what we

47:58normally do

47:58to make

47:59sure we're

48:00okay.

48:01It's going

48:02to be so

48:02much easier

48:05and tempting

48:05sometimes for

48:06you to stay

48:07up late past

48:08your bedtime

48:09versus getting

48:10the rest

48:10that you need

48:11to take care

48:12of yourself

48:13and to recharge

48:14and reset

48:14and refuel

48:15your body.

48:15this is

48:20why

48:20having that

48:22discipline,

48:23having that

48:24focus

48:24is crucial

48:26and again,

48:28I have to

48:29make sure

48:29that I

48:29practice

48:30what I

48:30preach.

48:32I have to

48:33make sure

48:33I can't

48:35sit here

48:36and act

48:37like I

48:37don't go

48:38through some

48:38of these

48:38same things

48:39and some

48:40of these

48:40same

48:40scenarios.

48:41But once

48:44you know

48:45better,

48:45you do

48:45better.

48:49Once you

48:49know better,

48:50you do

48:50better.

48:51And you

48:52have to

48:53focus on

48:54getting with

48:54self because

48:56where we

48:58are here

48:58today has

48:59everything to

49:00do with

49:00self.

49:01It has

49:01nothing to

49:02do with

49:02anybody

49:02else.

49:03We put

49:03ourselves

49:04exactly

49:04where we

49:05are here

49:05today based

49:06on how

49:07we think,

49:08based on

49:09the words

49:09that come

49:10out of our

49:10mouths,

49:11the people

49:13that we

49:13decide to

49:14hang around

49:15and attach

49:15ourselves to.

49:18In any

49:19case, let

49:21me go ahead

49:21and wrap

49:23things up

49:23here so we

49:24can get

49:24out of

49:24here.

49:25But again,

49:26let me know

49:26how you feel

49:27about tonight's

49:27episode.

49:28I want to

49:28thank you so

49:29much.

49:30Remember,

49:31transformation

49:32isn't cosmetic.

49:34It is

49:34corrective.

49:35And prevention

49:36is always

49:37cheaper than

49:37repair.

49:38Think about

49:38the scenario

49:39that I spoke

49:39with the car.

49:40If you

49:41know that

49:41your check

49:41engine light

49:42comes on,

49:43there's

49:43something wrong

49:43with your

49:44car.

49:44The person

49:45who stops

49:46and pulls

49:46over and

49:47gets it

49:47checked out

49:47and gets

49:48it towed

49:49and stops

49:49driving it

49:50versus the

49:52person who

49:53continues to

49:54drive and

49:56continues to

49:56go through

49:57issues and

49:59they ride it

50:00and they ride

50:00it and they

50:01ride it until

50:01it breaks

50:02down.

50:03Okay, I'm

50:05out of here,

50:05y'all.

50:05Thank y'all so

50:06much.

50:07Catch me

50:08on the

50:09next episode

50:10Wine Down

50:11Wednesday.

50:11You're going

50:17Have a good

50:18night.

50:194, 3, 2, 1.

50:24And that's a

50:25wrap on today's

50:26episode of the

50:27411 podcast and

50:28reading between the

50:29wines, where

50:30growth is always

50:31on the menu and

50:32every pour reveals

50:33a little more
