I think at some point in our life that every single one of us has become a slave to

something outside of us that wasn't good for us, right? It could have been another person

right, a toxic relationship. We could have been very attached to somebody. It could have been

foods. We've been degrading ourselves with the wrong foods day in and day out. You know,

the sugar has got us, the fats got us, you know, our tongue just craves it and we don't have control

over our desire. It could have been substances, you know, some of us may have gone through

substance abuse. We became a slave to this thing that gave us a high, give us a sense, give us

a feeling that we became attached to, right? At some point in our lives, we're all going to become

a slave to something for a moment in time. And when we become a slave to something, it does

something very interesting to our heart. It conditions our heart because to be a slave to

something, right, to be severely attached to something, that's a conditioning of the heart.

The heart is going to be attached to heart is going to be invested. The heart and the mind are

going to work together and to grade your spirit, you know, your spirit is going to be saying like,

yo, that's not, that's not right for us. But because the heart's been conditioned and the

mind is taking control, we will become a slave. A lot of us have been slaves in relationships,

knowing the relationship wasn't good, knowing the friendship wasn't good, knowing it was toxic.

The heart was conditioned, we submitted, we became a slave. Now, that same conditioning that we've

gone through, that same conditioning can actually be used for the good. Just like the yin and yang,

there's a polar opposite to everything isn't there, right? There's a contrast to everything.

Now, if our heart has already gone through the conditioning and it knows what it feels like

to submit, to be a slave, to be attached, to be so invested in something else that wasn't good for us,

doesn't that mean our heart has the ability to do the same for something that is good for us?
