00:00How are you guys doing? Good morning, good morning, good morning.
00:04Welcome back to the Morning Roasted Podcast.
00:07This is your host Caleb Thompson and this is a place where we make your morning smile the most.
00:12We are coming live from New York City as we usually do.
00:15We're going to have a good episode for you guys today, man.
00:17I want you guys to tune in. This is going to be real quick.
00:20It's not going to be that long, but I want you guys to really tune in and tap into this
00:24exclusive message
00:25that will be able to transform your lives.
00:28Okay, so today, this episode is going to be called Becoming Comfortable with Change.
00:35Becoming Comfortable with Change.
00:38And as I usually do, I'm going to give you three talk points here.
00:41We always go over these three talk points so that we can stay within the parameters of time
00:45that we have already, you know, preordained as they say,
00:49but we have already suggested that would be a good time for the uploading of these episodes
00:54and to keep everyone's attention.
00:57So, like I said, we're talking about becoming comfortable with change.
01:01So, talk point number one is I accept that change is a part of growth.
01:04I've learned that growth and change can go hand in hand and you have to accept that too.
01:09So, growth and change can go hand in hand.
01:12A lot of times when people think they grow, I've always heard this.
01:16To get to the next level, you're going to have to leave something behind.
01:18But I want to let you know something, that sometimes what you've learned or acquired from that last level
01:25is what helps you to step into the next level.
01:27You don't have to leave everything behind.
01:28I was talking to an individual the other day.
01:30They wanted to transition into entrepreneurship.
01:33And they was like, man, I really don't know how to get, like, out of the streets.
01:36And this is a conversation I had with an individual that wanted to start up a small trucking company.
01:42And he's like, I don't really know how to get out of the streets.
01:45I'm just a hustler.
01:46And this and that.
01:47I said, okay, well, you know what?
01:48You don't have to leave that skill that you acquired by learning how to negotiate, learning how to set prices,
01:55learning how to get the best deals when it comes to the manufacturer, learning all those sales tactics.
02:02I said, all those sales strategies that you use and learning how to put together a strategy,
02:08you don't have to get rid of those things.
02:10All you have to do is take that same energy and that same skill set and apply it to a
02:14different market.
02:15Yeah, they got the pharmaceutical market.
02:17They got the drug market.
02:18They have the gun market.
02:19They have the gun.
02:19You can literally right now put stocks on, I mean, day trade on gun companies and military companies, anything.
02:28So it is a market for weapons.
02:30It's a market for pharmaceuticals, which actually turn into drugs.
02:35You know what I'm saying?
02:36So there's a market for these things.
02:37But I'm saying if you want to start a trucking company, it's not that you have to leave behind the
02:42things that you acquire.
02:43You don't always have to let go of something to have something new.
02:46Sometimes what you've you just need to redirect the energy from what you've already learned.
02:51Rather, maybe you're somebody who's, you know, feel like, you know, you can't get out of the hood.
02:56I can't get out of this situation.
02:58You just have to take what you've already learned.
03:00If you know if you know how to negotiate, if you know how to get a good deal, if you
03:03know how to talk a person down from from one hundred dollars to forty dollars, if you know how to
03:10be persuasive when it comes to someone giving you something, all you need to do is take these same skills
03:16that you've acquired.
03:17And because everything that you've acquired is energy and just direct that towards what you're trying to do.
03:22So the more I resist change, the harder the transition becomes, the more that you stop trying to do what
03:27you know you're supposed to do.
03:28It's just going to become harder.
03:30This is going to become harder.
03:31There's always something in you letting you know that, hey, man, it's time to change.
03:35You know what I mean?
03:36We this we've we've ran out course.
03:38It's time to hang up our shoes in this area.
03:39It's time to move forward.
03:41The heart, the longer that you resist change, the harder it's going to become.
03:46It's going to become harder the longer that you resist.
03:49And I don't mean this.
03:51Now, there are some individuals have come to a point that their conscience is completely seared.
03:55That means that no matter what you tell them, no matter where they where you go, no matter what you
04:00have to say, they don't want to hear it.
04:02They their conscience is completely what people call burnt up.
04:06They have no feeling.
04:07You know what I'm saying?
04:08I'm not saying like I have no feeling like they're just a serial killer murder and they just have no
04:12conscience.
04:13I'm not talking about that.
04:13I mean that they have become so numb to wisdom, instruction and to help that they know it all.
04:19But they don't want it.
04:20They don't want to allow anyone to help them.
04:22I've dealt with certain individuals where they want the position, but they don't want to have to go through the
04:27process.
04:28Some people will literally try to kill you, sacrifice you, use all these spiritual means to take your position.
04:34But once they get the position, they don't know how to operate in the position.
04:39Yeah, you may have.
04:40OK, you may have stolen this or done this and that.
04:42But now you're in the position.
04:43Now what?
04:44Now, when someone asks you how to create it, how do you create a company culture for over five to
04:49five thousand employees?
04:50And what are some of the strategies that you want to implement to make sure that we can keep this
04:54structure in place for the next 15 to 20 years?
04:56You know, you don't even know what to say.
04:58You just you just went in there, cloak yourself in somebody's energy, played the part, attracted, attracted the position.
05:04And then now you don't even know what to do.
05:06Now you got some idiot in a position in a position that they stole just because they want the title.
05:11It's like you cannot do that.
05:13You can you can you're always going to be exposed as a fraud.
05:18You know what I mean?
05:18So change often feels uncomfortable, but it's stretching you into what you're becoming.
05:22So it's going to be really uncomfortable.
05:23There's plenty.
05:25Believe me, what I'm looking to do, what I'm looking looking to accomplish.
05:30There could have been plenty of like sometimes I'm still sleeping on the floor.
05:35Had it got a new apartment, sleeping on the floor while still putting in work.
05:40You know what I'm saying?
05:40Not saying that I don't have the money to get this and get that.
05:44But sometimes I'm just waiting on it to come.
05:46Something else comes up.
05:47You know, I don't really mind.
05:49This is this is really keeping me in a place where it's helped me to understand I'm going to remember
05:53these days.
05:54And then sometimes, you know, I think that maybe I'm not.
05:56But change, change is uncomfortable.
06:00When you're transitioning from one place to another, there's going to be a lot of sacrifices that need to be
06:04made.
06:04There's going to be a lot of things that you that you're going to have to do.
06:07And a lot of things you're going to have to put on the back burner, a lot of comfortability, a
06:11lot of, you know, things that you feel like you need at that very moment.
06:16You're going to have to sacrifice those things to get where you really want to go.
06:18And then sometimes I love being uncomfortable for the simple fact that it helps me not to settle.
06:23You know what I mean?
06:23If my apartment was exactly how I wanted it to be, you know what I mean?
06:27How I could have it, I would be too comfortable.
06:29It would be too easy for me.
06:30And I would probably drown in comfortability.
06:34You know what I'm saying?
06:34Being able to do this, everything's together.
06:37You know what I mean?
06:37But always having a little bit of hardship always helps you to stay alert and to stay on point.
06:43So talk point number two is I stop letting fear control my response to change.
06:50See, a lot of times, you know, once you want to go, you want to go to the next level.
06:53You want to start that business.
06:54You want to set up a routine when you wake up in the morning.
06:58I don't care what it is.
07:00You want to start out these things.
07:01But the same is fear.
07:02Man, why every time you want to do something with your life, if it's not a person,
07:06it's your own mind telling you, what if this happens?
07:09What if this goes bad?
07:11What if this happens?
07:11Well, I'm going to tell you this.
07:12What if it goes right?
07:14What if you take the risk and you hit the jackpot?
07:17What if you take the risk and you're a millionaire overnight?
07:19What if you take the risk and you blow up overnight?
07:22You know what I mean?
07:23Man, you cannot stop yourself from doing what you want to do with your life.
07:27Stop getting in all these groups of these low vibrational, hating-ass people.
07:32As soon as you want to do something with your life, then you now, you have no friends.
07:35That means we were never supposed to be friends in the first place.
07:38As soon as you tell someone, you know what?
07:40Just, man, you have to pay attention to the subtle things of your own friends, family members.
07:46You have to pay attention to the subtle things they do.
07:50As soon as you get a new hairstyle, here's somebody who's supposed to be your best friend.
07:54Oh, look at you.
07:55Man, that little remark right there has automatically let me know that there's some underlying hatred
08:00or some covert jealousy just by certain things.
08:05You need to pay attention to these things and you need to be able to break away from these things.
08:09Don't be scared to start over.
08:10You know, don't be scared to be on your own.
08:12A lot of people, and I'm going to tell you what, when you're on your own and you're strong,
08:15a lot of people are too fearful to do things on their own.
08:18They need a group of people.
08:19They need their mother, their father, their brother to make sure that change and transition is comfortable.
08:25Okay, yeah, I'll move to Florida, but I have to make sure I can stay with a friend down there,
08:31man.
08:32Sometimes, whatever you feel like you need to do, you need to go to Florida.
08:36If you need to go down there and go to Universal Studios, if you need to go down there and
08:40get that job,
08:41if you need to take that job, if you need to take that job on that cruise ship,
08:44I don't care if your mother, your father, I don't care if you have nowhere to stay.
08:49Go for it.
08:50Go for it.
08:50You know what I mean?
08:51This life is about taking risks, and then if it doesn't work, come back to where you are,
08:55and then throw your cast out again.
08:59You know what I mean?
09:00Come back, reel it back in, and throw it out again.
09:02You know what I mean?
09:03But life is too short to live and die and say, what did you do with your life?
09:07You know what I did?
09:08I stayed in the Bronx, or I stayed in New Jersey, and I was born there, and I died there.
09:15Yeah, you know, I went on a field trip when I was in eighth grade to a museum,
09:21but you never done anything else.
09:23Never tried any new food.
09:24Never lived outside of the state.
09:26And I don't think you're doing the shit around being bitter because you're too fearful
09:29to make changes in your life and start to live.
09:33So, you know, you have to stop letting fear control your response to change.
09:36Instead of focus on what could go wrong, focus on what I can learn and what I can gain and
09:41what could go right.
09:43You do not need all the answers before taking the next step.
09:47Confidence grows when you move forward despite uncertainty.
09:50You know, a lot of people say, man, people, you have individuals who will try to confuse
09:55confidence with pride.
09:58I'm going to tell you something.
09:59Anybody that's ever confident in anything that they have going on, anybody that's ever
10:03confident in anything, you have somebody else watching this commercial.
10:07You have somebody that could be working at Wendy's.
10:09They could be working at Wendy's, and they've made over a thousand milkshakes.
10:13And you know what?
10:14The next time that they step up to that milkshake maker, you know what I mean?
10:18They have confidence.
10:19And then somebody can say, dang, you know what I mean?
10:21You're moving like that, you know what I mean?
10:22Because they've done it.
10:23Anybody that has confidence is something that they have understood about themselves.
10:28It's something they have worked towards in order to build.
10:31Nobody just naturally has confidence.
10:33You know what I mean?
10:34Nobody just naturally goes from being overlooked, being the underdog, being less liked in their
10:41family to just walking around in confidence.
10:43There is a process that you have to go through and understanding that you have to understand
10:47about yourself to make yourself comfortable with who you are despite.
10:50You know, confidence comes from being the underdog, being misunderstood and still saying, you
10:56know what?
10:57Despite if anybody liked me or not, I like myself.
10:59I like myself more than I care.
11:01The opinion, my opinion towards myself matters more than anyone else.
11:05It causes a person to be confident when there is, when you can move forward despite uncertainty,
11:12despite what anyone thinks.
11:14Number three, this is our last talk point.
11:16I learned to adapt instead of staying stuck.
11:19I learned to adapt.
11:20So you got to be flexible.
11:22You know what I mean?
11:22Not everything, man, there's plenty of times I had a full calendar full of clients, full
11:28calendar full of clients.
11:29I'm like, okay, I'm gonna go here this day.
11:30I'm gonna go there that day.
11:31And I had already set up a strategy in order to execute on this plan of how I was going
11:39to
11:40move, you know, how I was going to make my moves.
11:42But guess what?
11:43Some clients start to counsel their requests.
11:48Some counsel their appointments.
11:51Then a whole company had Mason DFS, which is the house of business.
11:57It's in French.
11:58And every consultation that I had for the entire month got counseled, just out of the
12:03blue.
12:03So you never know exactly what's going to happen.
12:06You have to be flexible and be able to adapt to the change.
12:09So instead of being stuck and saying, man, I don't say that, let me put it like this.
12:13There's always a way.
12:14There is always a way.
12:16Somebody could shut.
12:17You could shut.
12:18If there's a door that's shut, there's a window that's open.
12:21There is no reason for excuse.
12:23Say, you know what?
12:24You know, I can't go and get my license because, you know, I have to go away to Jersey City
12:31where
12:31I'm going to tell you, you need to start doing some research.
12:33There's something a little bit closer.
12:36There's something that you can do in order to get done what you need to get done without
12:39having to go to a specific place.
12:41That is just an excuse.
12:42I'm going to tell you something.
12:43I wanted to watch TV the other day and I was thinking like, man, I want to watch TV, but
12:47it was something wrong with my remote.
12:49My remote wouldn't work.
12:50And then I always have this mentality.
12:53There's always another way.
12:54So I just, man, I downloaded the app on my phone, connected straight to my TV.
12:58No problem at all.
12:59Then after that, after that, my remote started working.
13:02Sometimes people will test you.
13:04Life will test you.
13:05Sometimes universal allow things to happen for the simple fact to help you to keep those
13:09creative juices flowing.
13:10So as soon as something bad happens in your life, you don't feel like, oh, woe is me.
13:15It's never going to work out.
13:16There is always a way to get done what you want to get done.
13:20I'm telling you, there's always a way to get there.
13:22So if a door closed, a window will open.
13:24If a window, if all the doors closed, sometimes you got to go through the roof.
13:29You got to go through the attic.
13:30You know what I mean?
13:31Or the basement.
13:32You know what I mean?
13:33Crawl out from under the basement.
13:34You know, you have to figure it out.
13:35But I've discovered that flexibility is a strength and it's not a weakness.
13:38You need to embrace that mindset.
13:40I'm going to help you to understand something about flexibility.
13:43There's been plenty of times where you had something you wanted to do and that you needed
13:50to do.
13:51It was imperative that you got this thing done.
13:54Now here comes a family member.
13:55Here comes your mom.
13:57Here comes your brother.
13:58Here comes somebody.
13:59And they say, man, I really need your help with this.
14:01So I really need to borrow $100.
14:03You know you need to pay your light bill.
14:04But you became flexible just for the simple fact that someone needed help.
14:08You need to become flexible for yourself.
14:11You know what I'm saying?
14:11There's plenty of times that you had a plan put together.
14:14You had money set aside.
14:15And then here comes someone that causes you to disrupt your plans and orders.
14:20Now what I'm saying is I'm using this not as saying become hard-hearted towards people.
14:23But what I am saying is that in that moment you were adaptable and flexible because a situation
14:28came up that you had to adjust or pivot your plans around.
14:34So I'm saying you still have to do that, but do that for yourself.
14:36You know, there's plenty of times where, you know, I've had times where I had to go to
14:41a certain place or go to a meeting and someone asked me to come and help them move.
14:44You know what I'm saying?
14:45You know what?
14:45This meeting is kind of important.
14:47You do need to make decisions for yourself.
14:49But it wasn't that important for the simple fact that, you know, I could have got another
14:54meeting or it was a place I really didn't want to go anyways.
14:56But, you know, I had to cancel that meeting.
14:58I wanted to go help.
14:58But that's being flexible and being adaptable.
15:00But I'm saying use that in the positive sense when it comes to chasing your own dreams
15:03and goals and doing what you need to do.
15:05And life changes, circumstances change, and sometimes our plans have to change too.
15:10You stay relevant and resilient by adapting, not resisting.
15:14You know what I mean?
15:14Like Bruce Lee said, flow like water.
15:16When you become comfortable with change, you open yourself up to new opportunities, growth,
15:21and possibilities.
15:22Yeah, you do not have a right.
15:26You don't even have a God-given right.
15:29You don't even have a right to sit there and be bitter, mad at someone else when you're
15:35resisting change.
15:37You are stopping yourself from moving forward in life and you're mad at everybody else.
15:41If you like being comfortable, be comfortable.
15:44Believe everybody else out of it.
15:46You know what I mean?
15:47If I'm having a bad day, I'll leave everybody else out of it.
15:49If I'm, you know, leave everybody else out.
15:52Do not, do, the more you resist, the more mad you're going to get.
15:56The more you, the more you hate and you're bitter and you're, that's, the more you're
16:02going to, hey, you know what I mean?
16:04But if you like where you are in life and if you are comfortable where you are and you
16:09like, you like the way that your life is set up, quit taking your funky, bitter energy
16:15out on everybody else.
16:16You like being comfortable?
16:17If you and your homeboy like being comfortable, be comfortable by yourselves.
16:22You know what I mean?
16:22Don't try to drag no one else down into your miserable pit.
16:25You know what I mean?
16:26Some people, they're miserable where they else.
16:27They claim they're comfortable, but they really want to do better.
16:30But they don't want to, they're resisting the change.
16:32If you want to do it, get up and do it.
16:33You know what I mean?
16:34So this episode is called being comfortable with change.
