It just was like, I really believe in what I'm doing. I really care about it. I want it to be the best it could be for me, and I'm excited to share it. And the results have shown me that you can manifest things. It happens. But I'll say when I do it, it's never based on the outcome. Ooh, what do you mean? I'm never asking for a result. What are you asking for?

I'm asking to rise to the occasion, to make the best thing that I can, for the thing that I make to be great. Great is a vague word. I don't know what great means. I came to realize recently what great means, but I didn't know. Most of my life I was aiming for great, but I didn't know what that was. And I've come to realize that great means it's a devotional kind of greatness.

It's a gift to the universe. It's a gift to God. Wow. If you're making a gift to God, there's no greater gift. You can't put more into it than that. You know, you can't. What about the single? What about, what about what someone's going to say? Who has anything to say if we're making a gift for God? You're putting all of your purest intention into this thing for the universe. Wow.

That's where it's at. I didn't know that. I came to realize that recently. Again, my word was greatness. Greatness. That was the word of what I was shooting for. But I've come to realize what it is.

Yes. And it's a gift of yourself to God. It's like, this is the best I can do. This is my offering. This is what I have to offer.

I don't know. I don't, I think, um, it sounds like a shortcut and I don't think there are shortcuts. I think it's always a, A version of doing the work, of finding your way into what it is that the universe wants you to do, and then...

really dedicating yourself how do you know what the universe wants you to do and when to do it the right timing because you could be like i have this idea for this thing maybe it's the right time now maybe it's five ten years away from now how do how do we really tap into that knowing i think it's it's it's situational and i think the again if you're tapped into the universe it tells you it it it directs you an example i may have three different ideas that i'm i'm excited about

And I kind of get them all going. And then one of them just seems to take off on its own. And one of them, no matter how hard I work on it, it never seems to come together. Can't find the right collaborators, some obstacles in the way. When that happens, I feel like it's the universe saying now is not the time.

That is part of it. I'm not saying to turn away from the obstacle, but I'm saying when the obstacles become insurmountable consistently, And there's another path that's going smoothly. And you feel the same about both of them. Go for the effortless way. Well, pay attention. See when is the universe giving you a push? When is the wind hitting your sails the right way? There's something to it.

I would never suggest not fighting through the work. It's grueling no matter what. It's grueling no matter what. That said, sometimes it feels like now's not the time. It's like everything you throw at it gets deflected.
