How does Iyanla introduce the idea of surrender and self-care at the start of the show?
Yanla and I are talking about the journey that I've had on the LIE. I got home and one of the smoke detector batteries needs changing. So if you hear that little beep, don't think I'm lazy and I don't change it. I just walked into the house and I'm trying to get this to you. So thank you, Mr. Yanla. Good to see you.
Good to see you always. Blessings to you.
Blessings. So when you have a day like that, what do you do? Do you just surrender? What are you saying?
Yeah, absolutely. I surrender. All things are just as they need to be. You know, we set up the schedule. I remember when I was overworked and overcommitted and running around with my hair on fire. I said, oh, God, help me. And God said, but you made your own schedule.
That's true. Did he help you?
Yeah, I changed my schedule.
You know, let me just read this and then we'll talk. So I know on Fridays we usually have our sour lemon special. And I love them and I know you love them. But this week was just so long, so dark, and so depressing. And I've been trying to get a yanla on. Actually, you guys have been requesting a yanla on... On YouTube, you've been requesting, on Instagram, on Facebook, and also on TikTok. And so we have Iyanla. Iyanla, as we had, at first I said Iyanla fixed my life, but then I said Iyanla fixed my, when I got on, she said, Iyanla fixed my country. So we wanted to uplift your spirit, if we can. I need some soul lifting here. And she's the one woman that can do it. So Iyanla. Yes, say something. And I think we need a prayer or something.
We're not lost, Don. We're simply being awakened. We have lived for so long in a level of codependent dysfunction. And those symptoms are coming down and we feel it. And it's frightening. And then unfortunately, many of the leaders that we look to for guidance are fear mongers. And so the energy of fear is so prevalent, but we're not lost. We are simply being awakened to what is no longer appropriate or acceptable for who we are. who we are as individuals, who we are collectively. You know, I taught a class recently and I was talking about the construct of the human body, the number of cells, the number of molecules, the number of energy. And if you've ever heard of the God Memorandum by Ogmandina, one of the statements in there is that there was enough atomic energy
power within you to destroy the world's greatest cities and rebuild them. And yet we walk around with our hair on fire. I know we feel it. I know the confusion, the grief, the unraveling of the systems. And here's the big thing, people, the expectation of ruin But we take more power and we affirm that. Oh, this is bad. Oh, this is horrible. Oh, what's going to happen? But what are you creating with those thoughts and those words? And we're still looking out and not looking in. The noise of the world can drown out the still small voice. I promise you, if you get still and go within, you will be guided. Moment by moment. When you texted me and asked me to do this show today, I said, oh, my God, I'll be on the plane.
You know? And you said, oh, I'm so sorry. You know what I did? I took an earlier plane. I didn't get on the LIE with you. I was in New York. And instead of getting on the 5 o'clock, I got on the 3 o'clock, and I'm home.
I love you for that. Thank you. Thank you for that. And you must, something must, you knew I needed this and you knew that the audience are, you know, almost 700,000 folks who are part of the Lemon Nation here needed that. They have been asking for it. Every time I speak to someone, every time I do a private chat, when I look at the comments, even the hateful comments, right? Even the trolls. But every time I look at the comments or I speak to people, even on the street, it's like we all need some group therapy, right? We all need group therapy. Everyone's in need.
Well, you know what? In 2017, I was given a spiritual directive to awaken one million people. And I started the process and it fell off. I started it again in 2020, awaken to a million people. And I know a million is 10 million, but to get a million people involved in the conscious choice to awaken, awaken to their power, awaken to their light, awaken to a new way of being, awaken to being more, doing more, having more.
