whatever, make sure you're taking care of you because there's too many people that depend on you being the best you than for you to kill yourself chasing something that even when you catch it, your pride is not going to be fulfilled anyway.

Yes, it changed me. And I don't even know if I know how it changed me, you know, but it did change me. And I think it did, which you probably can relate to. I feel like there's a hole inside of me that, you know, nothing can fill. I mean, it's a part of grief because we love hard, but also it changed me in a positive way where it made me more intentional.

It made me realize that forever comes with an expiration, that you don't have forever with your kids, you don't have forever with your spouse. You don't have forever with your business. And it made me be more intentional with my life. It made me ask the question, like, how do I want to live? How do I want to show up in my relationships? Have I said everything I wanted to say to somebody?

Because I don't want to live in regret. I want to be able to rejoice. And so when my mother passed, I rejoiced. And of course I was sad, but I know that I gave my mom everything. We were tight. So I didn't have to live in regret. And I wish I would have said this. I wish I would have did this. It was more, man, I'm glad I did this with my mom.

And so she just brought more attention to my life through her passing for sure.

I would say keep trusting what's pure to your soul because those around you that's trying to pull you from that have no idea what's meant for your life.

I would say keep trusting what's pure to your soul because those around you that's trying to pull you from that have no idea what's meant for your life.

And the reason I say that is because when I started this journey, right, a lot of people around me really kept me from, and of course I gave them the permission, but they kept me from really walking into what I felt like what I was meant to do because I was so interested in opinions and so interested in feedback. And so I just realized like, They didn't create you. So don't let them control you.

And I would tell my younger self that to just trust your gut and trust what you know is pure.

Yeah, you have to realize that most people are trying to protect you. And you have to understand that it's their perception that they're putting on you. While they mean well, you can't allow somebody else's perception to control your life because they didn't create you. I know your parents might have birthed you, but they didn't create you. Your creator created you.

And the plan that's for your life, nobody understands. So I talk about in the book, trust your vision. And what most people do, they depend on vision validation. And so when they have a vision, they have an idea, most people will go to the people closest to them to share that because it's like familiarity. And those people close to them, they're not a visionary. They're not a dreamer.
