So what's it like being you, sir, you're very, you're very famous and you're all over the place everywhere all the time. What's that like?

0:15.0

Well, to be honest, you know, it's really a journey of a different world.

0:20.0

I dreamed about having a life like this, but I didn't know how to get here because I lived in a scarce world where I thought I had to go get this world.

0:29.0

And I really attached a lot of my emotions to outcomes instead of to understanding how progress is created.

0:38.0

And so once I got an understanding of how progress was created, I was able to detach my emotions from the outcome knowing that if I got better at what I did, if I learned a lot of lessons and helped a lot of people and did my best and had fun,

0:55.0

that better than was the outcome that I seemed to get. And so the life that I lead today is one of four things. One, I live a life of gratitude.

1:07.0

So everything, all the activities in a day that I have, I'm finding, like I mentioned, the light in the activities, the lessons in the activities and the love in it.

1:19.0

And then secondarily, I live a life of forgiveness. I go at it pretty hard, like you mentioned as well. And so I make a ton of mistakes.

1:28.0

And so I have learned to live in forgiveness, to give me ease and peace, but also to share that forgiveness with others and respect that I spent many years projecting my insecurity of the mistakes that I've made in the fallacies that I live by.

1:46.0

And the unfortunate separation that I had in my own life, I projected onto others. And so forgiveness plays a key role in how I show up today. And then another one is just accountable. I live a very, I call it three stages of accountability.

2:04.0

There's one of, I'm responsible for everything that I do, and I want to learn lessons from it. I'm attracting because I know the three characteristics of energy, energy's money, its behavior, everything's energetic to me, but I'm very keen on understanding energy aggregates on itself and attracts on itself. And when it does it compounds, which gives me exponentiality and what I do.

2:29.0

It accelerates. So within the context, attractions of big part of what I believe in and what it's like to be me is I'm well aware of what I'm attracting into my life, looking for the clues, the pattern so I can make better choices.

2:44.0

The newest stage of accountability that I'm living in is I'm very aware in the awareness itself, meaning that what am I doing to participate in this perception, because a lot of times the participation in the perception of my journey was giving the wrong meaning to my past and interfering with my future.

3:08.0

And so I spent a lot of time helping myself and others have the right participation in the perception and then finally to live an inspired life. I shifted a paradigm. I used to try to get more happy every day, more healthy, more wealthy.

3:27.0

Now I live a life of the Moses code. I am, I am that I am, I am happy. I am healthy. I am wealthy. I am worthy. So I'm spending my day figuring out what I'm doing to interfere with that to live my potential. So the combination of living in a higher mindset, a higher heart set, and of course a more efficient effective and statistical success in the handset that I have.

3:53.0

The activities is, you know, what it's like to be me to find inside of me what I want outside of me.

4:00.0

Yeah, that's beautiful. I love your transparency. And there's a lot of things in the world where we're taught to, you know, cover up our mistakes and mistakes are bad and all these things, right.

4:12.0

As we move forward in life, at least some of us learn that mistakes are where the best learnings are. Right. And I just, I just want to get your perspective. I mean, I'm sure, like you said, you've made some mistakes. I mean, how can somebody reflect on that and learn from it? Is there like a process that you go through David?

4:32.0

Yeah, I call it a practice of identification. You know, what's so interesting about mistakes are the great indicators that you have a better place to be a better position to be in. It's an indicator that you're being protected and promoted.

4:47.0

And so often, as I did, that all the mistakes that I made represented punishment in my life, that, you know, why means that have tried me or, you know, lucky me and to understand that I'm practicing identifying the mistakes themselves.

5:05.0

I'm practicing identifying the two fears that exist within the context of mistakes, one being the mistakes of my past, the fear that I have is regretting guilt.

5:15.0

So one of the precursors that I know emotionally, energy and motion to mistakes is if I feel guilty or I feel regretful or resentful or offended, I now know that I'm giving the wrong meaning to the mistakes that I've made.
