I'm an author. I'm a pastor of a church right here in Atlanta in Fayetteville, Georgia called Limitless Church.

Man, how to get free? How to move on? How do we get back to life after the pandemic? A lot of us are kind of in this yo yo stage, right? I remember five months ago when this pandemic hit us and y'all listen to me. So I am a my hustle is very holy.

But I say so busy. I mean y'all since I was seven years old, we would go to shoneys after church to eat now would be stepping my purse full of free shoneys suckers and selling the things for 25 sent each at school. I mean I've always just been an innovator, a business person in my mind. And so I'm used to going. So though I passed your church here and I have to be home every Sunday most of the time.

I travel 51 weeks out of the year. I am ministering somewhere or I am speaking at a multi level motivational event or something but I'm always on the go. And all of a sudden five months ago, I mean January and February I was booked. I was jumping airplanes, jets set all over the place ministering. I went all the way to Panama. I mean I've already been everywhere already this year.

And then all of a sudden this pandemic hits us and the whole world stops and man when I just think about you know fear can really grip you in a in a time like this because you start thinking about how the whole world globally globally not just in America but globally they were able to shut us down because of a sickness that was killing people.

And man there were so many different observations in this you know in the season like the flu kills so many people every year but it's never shut us down globally.

And then all of a sudden not only was my whole entire schedule cancelling but y'all I'm talking 40 events 45 events canceled in the last five months.

And literally like huge events 10,000 people events and and here I am walking through so much already I was already in a pandemic before the pandemic and so was a lot of y'all.

I was just that I just went dealing with I was just raking it under the under the rug you know and God knew it.

And so really in essence the pandemic did me a favor because I really tied up a lot of loose ends but you know I it was just kind of frightening because it's shut our churches down it's shut our eating out down it's shut our travel down.

Then we come upon the writing and we watched our cities be torn to pieces like literally y'all this year feels like the Twilight Zone it really does and if we're not careful we are going to find ourselves not even being able to get back to life.

And and though I love traveling I've almost gotten kind of great in my new life.

During this last five months I found me during this last five months I have already knew me but I found a new side of me.

I started a mentorship program in October that I've been wanting to start forever for years I've been wanting to start this mentorship program but I didn't want it to look like any other mentorship that I'd seen like I've got friends that charge $700 a month or two months to mentor people and I just didn't want to do that you know I wanted it to be a place where we built a community where people felt like they belonged.

And I didn't even know how to make that happen because I've got millions of people that follow me and I just didn't even know how to make that happen because I hadn't seen it done before and God knew that and so basically what happened in February when the whole world shut down y'all it gave me a chance to immediately start pouring into my mentorship program the RTK inner circle and every night I started going into the RTK inner circle at 815 Eastern Standard on the Instagram page and the face of the day.

I'm on the Facebook page and I sit in there 815 and we'll talk forever some nights I would be in there for two hours just talking to my mentees the people that are doing life with me in my inner circle and I look back now and I think about how my life is starting to open back up again and we're starting to travel again and that I was this I was kind of like with mixed emotions because when you make up in your mind let's talk about this when you make up in your mind.

To deal with struggles going on the inside of you you realize that without a struggle there's no progress right and you realize that in life there are two things that you control in life and that is your your life and your attitude and by the way y'all get get you a journal out right now get your notebook out get your phone out something open your notes because I got a lot of great things I'm going to give you today that you're going to go back and marinate through because I'm going to give you some nuggets that are going to really set you free.
