I would say that I understand some people's lives are not ideal. I'm someone who has seen that experience that can relate to that firsthand. And what I can say is that when you accept it, that doesn't mean that you are giving up. Those are two different things. Accepting it just means, okay, I'm ready to go somewhere else.
And I'm thankful for all that this has taught me, all that this has brought me. I accept where I'm at, but I know I'm made for something else. I know I'm made to go higher, right? But no, but really I'm made to... to be somewhere else in the world. And I think that until you accept that, you can't move forward because you're just in the middle of it.
And I think when you accept something, that's how you get ahead of it.
Exactly. Right. It's like when we're fighting. Well said.
There's always a thread of where you are to where you desire to be at, no matter in what situation. There's never not a way. Or else you wouldn't feel it. Or else you wouldn't have a desire for it. It wouldn't even be in your consciousness. You know what I mean? I don't have a desire to go to Saturn because that's just not in my thing, right? But...
I have a desire to the things that I've had a desire to. I always knew that there was a way. So always know that no matter what opportunity you're in against the impossible odds or against us, you know, whatever it is, you always have your way to get to where you are. There's always a thread leading you and there are maybe multiple threads. So never be down and out and think that it's impossible.
It's really not. I mean, Mission Impossible is a movie where he defines impossible missions. But my point is there is nothing that's impossible for you. It's all meant for you. And it's up to you. One of my favorite quotes is, every day I wake up, I'm one day closer to death. So what you going to do with the time you got left? It's like, understand that this is... our time right now.
The moment is now. These moments, we only have the moment. So a lot of us live in the future and a lot of us live in the past. And that's something that we have to get out of the habit of. And I think when you accept where you are, you're kind of letting go of that. and making an action plan to putting your attention on your intention.
And of course you have an idea of where you would like to be, but God doesn't always give us what we want. God gives us what we need. And sometimes those are the same thing and sometimes they're not. And it all works out, you know?
Oh, boy. Attracting energy and chasing energy, well, like I said, When you're chasing something, you're already implementing the energy of it running away from you. You know what I mean? And not to say you can't get it, but it's a lot of effort to chase something. It's like even police on a high-speed chase. It's like they might have to crash into other cars and they're chasing you.
And when you attract something, you are using the powers that have been granted to you from God, universe, whatever you call it or believe in. of it magnetizing to you and you have that power. It's been the power that's been, you know, we use it on a level, on small levels every day. Even if you just set it into, hey, today I need to take a shower.
That's literally, you set a goal, you did it, it's done. You can do that on a scale of anything that happens. And some things may take a lot more time than others. We have these ideas and expectations we set for ourselves, but that's on us. That's our ego sometimes. That's our wants and desires and our minds sometimes getting the best of us.
And I think that things do take time, but there is always a way. And you can never count yourself out.
The most difficult thing that I've ever had to accept is the things that I can't control. I used to let the things that I can't control, control me.
how someone perceives your art. As an artist, like Erykah Badu says, we're emotional about our shit. I think she said something like that. That never changes, but you can't control how someone perceives you. All you can do is put, first of all, to make something, to write something, to... have an idea and actualize it is like, that is really the win for real.
I'm not just saying that like, that is like, come on. You know what I mean? You literally manifested something. How people consume it, if you impact anyone, that's literally a bonus to it. You know, that's why we do it. But that's, you're literally changing the world. So one thing I've had to accept is like, yeah, how people... Like I can't control what people think of me, their perceptions of me.
And when I try and control that, it takes me off of my path that I'm on of where I need to go. So that is something hard and you have to separate. Like I said, that power of separation of doing what you love to do and not tying it into how people perceive it. Those are two separate things.
It is.
It is.
And that's where you don't want to be at.
