So I would say to you, because I know there's thousands of people watching this that feel that exact same thing. You need to examine the pattern.

man that's so true because if this is a pattern of you continually getting hurt because you do not heal then it might be better for you long term to do the work to heal so that you can cut the cycle yes i think about um um rest in heaven kobe bryant when he when he um tore his achilles and He said he could come back and play before he was fully healed. He was ready.

He was ready.

I mean, and he would have probably been better than nine out of 10 people on the floor. He could have fooled everybody. But he knew he wasn't his 100%. He wasn't his best. He was not his best. So if it came down to the last minute when he really needed to be his best, he wouldn't have what he needed to have. So they took the time for him to actually heal.

What I'm saying is you may be fooling everybody. You made your Instagram is popping. Your business is successful. You got the bag and the body and you got all the different things, but you know, deep down in your soul, your mind, will and emotions, you know, you're still hurting. And so what ends up happening is you come in limping to love. you limp into love. Wow. Instead of leaping into love.

Right. You should be able to go a lot higher, but because you're still aware of the thing that you need to be healed, you don't go. And so what I'm saying is, if this is a pattern, if this is, if it's been the same, it was John and then it was Joey and then it was Julio, then it was Jaquan and then it was Jared.

Like if it, if it's the same thing, you might want to step back and get a new perspective because the pattern is the same. And a season is, of discipline can produce a lifetime of freedom. Come on. And that's where I just my encouragement. I've counseled too many people. I've been around too many people. I've helped so many people get through this hump in their life.

And what they realize is what they're scared of. They need the most. that intentional time with themselves, that intentional time with God, that intentional time with community, that intentional time in counseling.

And what they realize is what they're scared of. They need the most. that intentional time with themselves, that intentional time with God, that intentional time with community, that intentional time in counseling.

They need that because if you discover you, if you find out who you were made to be and walk in your purpose and get confident in that thing, then you actually will attract what you really wanna love. And most people are attracting to their insecurities. Ooh, man, that's true. You're attracting based on your trauma, not on the healed version of you. Right.

And so you're looking for somebody to play savior and they can't. They've never been able to have that ability in this life. And so I would just encourage those people, I know it's hard, I know it's frustrating.

I know you probably even tried before, but as someone who can identify with you, like as someone who did not want to face their trauma, did not want to talk about the bad stuff that happened, did not want to even block stuff out. Like, like, no, like I'm not going there. Like the journey that I've gone on, to actually take everything that has damaged me and say, you know what?
