And I think a lot of times what we do, Jamie, is we put unfair expectations on people. We give people titles that they don't deserve. We give people the title of a friend. We give people the title of all these things when they haven't shown or proved it. And so I think that's where we mess up. Even on social media, like, this is my family.
And I have the rehabbers across the world, and I appreciate them. But we make these friends, or they really care about me. And besides liking what you do for them, and I know it's a two-way street, we build relationships. relationships these days, I feel like off of the weakest things. And no wonder when we go through trials and tribulations, things crumble.
So I want to build something off that's solid. And so if it's only what surrounds my life that's attractive, that's one of the things that we talked about earlier where I'm always going to be my authentic self. Because if my heart is not enough for you, if this is not enough for you, then my success and the things that look sexy around my life aren't going to be enough for you.
Because I know once that ends.
100%.
When we can't get in the clubs no more, when we can't get around certain people, when I'm not paying for stuff no more. Yes, 100%.
Absolutely. People who are your people, and there's exceptions, but they will never put more questions in your life than answers. So if you have to question if it's real, you probably got your answer. That's what I would say.
Consistently, for sure. If you got a question, yeah.
To the person listening and watching this, I'm going to just say this. Do you think your kids don't know that you're not living your best life and giving everything to yourself? Is that the example you want to set for them? Because they know. No matter how much you tell them yes, how much you give to them, they know.
My kids in my journey, when they know daddy isn't the best and daddy's stressed out and daddy is not protecting his peace, they know they can feel it. And so what I decided to committed to, it doesn't mean that you're not there for your kids, but I decided to see if I can illustrate this.
So often we're told to pour into people's cups and as givers, as you know, people who help people, we're always pouring into cups and they always say, you know, you should have somebody in your life that can always refill your cup. For me though, that's always still dependent on somebody else to refill your cup. And that's always not a guarantee you have that person to refill your cup.
So a lot of people in this world, including myself at times, we're always pouring, pouring, pouring, giving, giving, giving to our kids, to people we love. And then we start to feel empty. So I committed my life to protecting your peace. And for me, that means Having an abundance of what I need. So me out in nature, me working out, me doing the things, that's how I fill up my cup.
Me meditating, me talking to God. And what happens, I tell the people around me, just stay around me. Don't worry about me pouring into your cup because I'm going to protect my peace so hard. There will be an overflow of peace, joy that you will receive just by being around me. I don't have to worry about pouring because you're going to get the overflow.
And so my kids, they realize that when I'm taking care of myself, they're getting the overflow. Wifey, she's getting the overflow. My team, they're getting the overflow because I'm taking care of me. So it's not selfish. It's actually, to me, more courageous to say, you know what? I'm going to stop trying to put out all these fires and I'm just going to focus on giving myself what I need.
And when I give myself what I need, I am better for everything around me. And they receive the overflow, running over, and they're receiving the overflow of me protecting my peace. And so that strategy, that mindset has helped me not burn out and helped me not feel empty anymore.
That's right.
That's right.
That's right. My daughter, Maya, I'll never forget this. I went into her room and I was like, hey, what are you doing? She said, dad, I'm protecting my peace.
And she hit me with that. She's like, I need some me time. And I was like, all right. And even though I wanted to see her, I was like, okay, so you're right. And so those moments of my little girls and obviously Tristan, he's older, but my little girls knowing what protecting their pieces is like the greatest accomplishment ever because they understand at a young age how important that is.
Absolutely.
