So I've over romanticized the time of my life where I feel like I was operating in a certain way,

my highest of performance. And I've been trying to duplicate and replicate that space for

a long time now. I've been trying to tap into that exact same spirit. And it's almost as if

I was trying to live in the past. And I'm rejecting my present and what is required for the future.

So of course I kept hitting this wall and I've probably hit this wall in the like 10,000 times.

And then today I finally said it's time for a different approach. It's time for another way.

It's time to truly step out of survival mode because all we've been doing is trying to survive when

it's time to thrive. It's time to let go of those regressive habits that I've been formed. You

know the ones I'm talking about my friend. And it's time to let go of the constant work that I myself

have formed into a shield, a shield to protect me from my failures or insecurity. Although I've

still been meeting constant failure and insecurities. Simply because I allow my ego to take over.

That happens at times, doesn't it? Our ego, it's slick. And I'm not somebody who demonizes the ego.

I think we need it at times. But at times it takes control of our whole being. And that's when we need

to correct ourselves. So the ego took over because I needed to be the best. And in return, I wasn't

the true me. I compared myself. I fought with myself. I spiraled.

But it's okay. You see that grace? It is okay, my friends. And that's exactly what we are reminding

ourselves today, my friends. That is okay. But it just may be time for a different approach.

I've exhausted a lot of options more than a few, like a thousand options.

But you know, it took what's his name Thomas Edison, I believe, to create the light bulb. It was

like more than a thousand times, right? MJ took 50,000 shots just to get his form right.

And what we need to remember is there's nothing wrong with missing a shot. There's nothing wrong with

a miss shot. I want you to do something for me right now. I want you to go deep within your mind
