Or we're going to you know, we need a discipline. We're going to take walks together. We're going to talk. We're going to make a discipline. But once you get that discipline somewhere around the consistency being all the time, even when you don't want to, it turns into a desire. Yes. You literally go from a decision to a discipline, to a desire. And that desire continued will change your destiny.
You can apply that to any area of your life. You can apply it to relationships, money. You can apply it to what we were talking about earlier, health and working out. But I'm telling you, this is the formula for life. It is a decision. I don't want to, but I'm going to do it. That turns into a discipline. I don't feel like it, but I'm going to do it, which then one day turns into a desire.
Man, I actually want to do this. and then it changes your destiny. And if you can apply that to any area of your life with consistency, You will take every trauma situation and it has to turn into triumph. Every single one of them.
About two years.
Yeah, I was a little fluffier, bro. I was a little more packed on.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We're on the School of Greatness podcast. I'm going to be hot, humble, open, and transparent. The truth of the matter was I was an emotional eater. If we won, I ate. If we lost, I ate. If somebody died, I ate. If somebody had a baby, I ate. It was like, what do you do that you are in control of that makes you feel good? Cookies and cream ice cream, Blue Bill. I mean, burgers with cheese.
And it didn't matter what time of night. I'd find myself two o'clock in the morning, like, what's open? Ice cream, let's go. And I was an emotional eater. I never addressed it. I never even thought about it. when I begin to gain another level of success, responsibility, all of these different things, now it gets magnified because I'm feeling it all the time.
Like I'm responsible for this many people's livelihoods and people are depending on me to be inspired and be drawn closer to God and all this other stuff. And you start feeling that pressure. And what do you do? You need to release.
I would have unhealthy habits that would jeopardize everything. Really? Oh. Well, it's how the human nature is. If you're not healthy, but you still are making great impact, What ends up happening is that great impact starts to affect you differently because it becomes a harder pressure because you do not have the vehicle or the, yeah, vehicle. The container.
The container to do what you need to do. So you need to find ways to medicate. To numb, to medicate, to whatever. To release all of those words. And that's when people start making stupid decisions. Oh, man. What is the decisions that most people make? Oh, I mean, it's been the same since the beginning of time. It's the girls, the gold. It's the greed.
It's like you start taking more than you're supposed to. You start... investing in relationships that have no actual benefit for your life. You start you start becoming full. You got into it with the right motivation and now the motivation is just money. And so it changes the heart and the content of what you're doing, because it's not about actually helping people.
It's about how many people can help me like when motives change. The ways that I release change. And then, I mean, we haven't even talked about the substance abuse. Like, I can't tell you how many athletes and people that I mentor and pray for and help that they're literally inebriated more than half of the day. Like smoking, alcohol, drugs, mushrooms, whatever.
They're literally not remembering the life they prayed for. Wow. They were in some locker room or somebody's mom's house praying that they could get into this situation. And now they are so overcome with their past traumas and their current pressures that they are literally numbing themselves and saying, bro, I don't even remember.
So you're living the greatest moment of your life and you don't even remember it? And it's because this is what we do as humans, because I don't believe that God created our bodies to be able to handle that kind of stress and trauma. And so we have to figure out a way to keep going because we want the results of it. But we can't really keep going because it's killing us. Wow.
And so we try to find ways to do it. And that's why I say the safest way to get into the place that you need to be is you need to deal with your past issues so it can change your present situation and it can prepare for you a great future. Yes. Do you think we are ever able to run away from our past or our traumas? No. your body keeps the score. It does.
Like, I mean, people act like not saying it does something. No. Your body is a computer that is taking all the information and it's storing it. Mm-hmm. stress, hypertension, all of the... I mean, we have people dying of heart attacks at 32. Crazy. Like, there is so much information coming to us every day, all the time. So many ideas, so many opinions.
All of those things were never a part of the core creation DNA for a human being. So you think about processing all of that and then processing processed food and then taking on all the digital information and then worried about everybody's comments of you and how skinny and how like think about the stress.
That your body and your mind and your emotions is under, not to mention that the real life stuff happens. You have a miscarriage. You lose a loved one. COVID happens and your business has to shut down. Like that? means that something has to be prioritized and that something is not anything external. It needs to be us.
We need to deal with the issues, the lies, the hurts, the layers that have made us into this person, but maybe the very thing that's trying to take us out. And so for me, I mean, I just know that part of my issue, even with food and weight and emotional eating, I need to delay. I need to talk about some stuff. I needed to. What did you need to talk about? What are you talking about?
