Welcome back to another episode of the Weighted Money Podcast, and today we'll be going at your own pace, and I feel like a lot of whoever needs to hear this. Please go at your own pace. Don't be worried about what the internet says you have to be at a certain age or what everybody else or your favorite celebrity is doing. Don't idolize your idols, because you never know how mad how they may be when you meet them. You have to idolize yourself, idolize your own ideas, be true, that same confidence and that same good speaking as you speaking to the others. You have to speak it unto yourself. If not, I feel like this we are the people that big up everybody, but not a lot of people. To be good with you have to be that supporting factor within yourself to be able to be able to spread love and to be able to give that. That give that. You know. I'm saying that significance that you need towards yourself, because you can't expect people to give it just because they're your friend. They don't owe you anything, even though we, we might have these ideals towards a friendship or what a spouse is supposed to do. You're supposed to make yourself feel just as important, or whatever relationship you're in and I feel like, especially growing up, you tend to see a lot of people in different position, even though when you got a car you're looking at people that got cars or whatever the care may be. I feel like as if your mind is just so focused on wanting to be like the joneses. You're gonna be like them in every aspect the good, the good and what you so call see, see and the bad, because you never know what they might be going through. They might be in debt, they might be having a hard time with life, they may be doing a lot of stuff that you may not even understand or even could even deal with mentally. That's why I said don't be so quick to try to take on another person's life because yours ain't yours ain't. It is best right now.
Speaker 1:Sometimes we go through our own different stories and tribulations in this world. It makes us strong enough to go into our next chapter of life. Therefore, we want, we can do all the hard work in the beginning. Then, as you grow in time, it starts to get easier and easier and more simpler for you to where you can just navigate and go through life without having to, without having to be on some oh look at this, look at this person, why I'm not like this? I feel like I'm holding myself back. I'm feeling like I'm this and this because a lot of time and that goes for the people that are working, dealing really hard. Now, if you're not doing enough and you're seeing everybody else doing it and you're getting mad, you got the same 24 hours as everybody else.
Speaker 1:Get up and actually go, be productive and make something of yourself. Don't blame it on nobody else, like it's their fault when it's yours. You have to apply yourself, you have to condition yourself. Sometimes you're gonna feel you got to know how to take failure. Men and men and grown men and and little girls and grown women. You got to know how to take failure in life regardless. There's no success without failure, none whatsoever. Everybody started from ground zero. It'll never get to the point to where you feel like I need to disown myself because I feel like I haven't did enough to be for this age. And now. Worry less about the past. Focus on what can you contribute to your life as of right now, as a true, as a factor of being yourself, not being no one else's, because it's not being another person that you feel like people will validate and be like, oh my god, girl, you just you're so good, you're dissonant, you're so good, you're this and that You're everything in a bag of chips. That's how we interact with each other.
Speaker 1:A lot of people act as validation. They need that from other people. They want to be accepted to the point where it hurts so bad, to where they don't have anything that the other person does. They end up changing their whole stigma by themselves just to fit in, and I know you hear the saying you don't have to lie to kick it. A lot of people lie to kick it with a lot of people that they shouldn't even be around. That's why they end up in weird predicaments. They end up in predicaments that they could have avoided Only if they weren't trying to get validated by somebody that wasn't there to validate. They don't even have people validate them. They just blindly doing whatever they think they want to do. Don't have that. Don't care.
Speaker 1:Lifestyle about yourself. Always keep working hard, keep going into what you're doing. Always work at the top of your game. So therefore you got to let people know what you're doing. Always work at the top of your game. So therefore you gotta let people know what you're doing. I know sometimes it get hard, sometimes it get frustrating, sometimes it sometimes you always don't have an answer for everything. It takes you dealing with life in order for you to come up with these situations and come up with these answers to these problems that you may have had, because a lot of stuff you can look back and say, like man, that was a troubling time for me, but now you can look at it, you can walk right past it, it don't faze you no more, because you can see a lot of times you can see your problems or your trauma hollering back at you like, oh, I'm insecure, I'm this, I'm this, but you have to validate yourself. If don't nobody else validate you, you need to do that yourself. It got to be within you, your family, and also that, yeah, your family's supposed to love you, regardless of whatever the case you may be or whatever, but people you got to be in and to love yourself. You got to be honest. You got to understand what you want to do with yourself and your life and you need to work hard towards that goal to succeed in it by any means necessary. If that's something that you want to do, you need to put all your effort and time into it.
Speaker 1:I've been told a lot of times I couldn't do certain things or I wasn't going to make nothing out of a certain thing and I did, and most of the time I end up and I'm still learning and I'm becoming more better as the day keeps and as the year and still keep passing. I'm becoming more knowledgeable. I'm a. I'm becoming more intro. I'm becoming more intro perspective to a lot of situations that I dealt with before, because it's like now I have a broader mind and it's like a better sense of awareness to where I like. Okay, I know how to move with it. Oh, I know that person moving a little weird. I know to get away from that person. I know how to balance myself out and get away from the negativity and all the falseness. And that's another thing too. Don't ever make yourself feel bad for actually finishing the race less lower than others. Like I said, that refers back to what I was saying Going at your own pace, you do not.
Speaker 1:Life is not a race. Life ain't a race. It's the reason why you go through so many trials and tribulations and stuff like that. You get tested all throughout life. Life ain't no race, because the first one that you see ain't the first one. That don't mean nothing, because a lot of people, because a lot of people, you can have the money in the world. You can have all the money in the world, and still you still gonna die and not and be able to take a dollar, which what?
Speaker 1:What fulfillments did you get out of doing this? Were you able to put a smile on your family's face? Were you able to secure your household? Were you able to furnish a dream and put people into a greater position and put people in bigger position? Were you able to furnish your talents enough to put you on a different pedestal, to where you finally can say I like the person that I see in the mirror? That is way more fulfilling than looking at what these other people got going on on the internet or looking at what these people have going on in in society. It matters not who said something about you. They're going to talk about you regardless. Yes, they're going to talk about you while you get on earth and squirt it with your best when they let you, when they let your cash get down. That's how they do you. You ain't here. You ain't here to fight them or tell them no, you wasn't, but let them do that. That's something that they got to deal with. Make the change that you have now and the opportunities that we have as people. We need to stop looking at the smallest thing and letting it devalue us as as a person, in our character. Me personally, I never. I never did it.
Speaker 1:It's stuff that and I feel like people get it messed up too when they come down to it's stuff that I used to get angry. I used to get angry and upset when I feel I used to blame myself. I used to hate even some stuff. In some situations it made me hate myself because it felt like I was putting my all and everything into what I had into doing this stuff and I still couldn't come out with the result. Or I was so close and I still couldn't come out with the result, or I was so close and I still didn't make it. It takes a lot for a person to even get up and want to still even stand in that predicament, to even keep going when your confidence and everything and your everything has been snatched away from that fear. That's how you know will you be able to stand at the test of time. When there's something greater a foot, will you be able to do, or will you just not? Or would you be too scared to, or would you run away from it? I stand in front of it and I caught them punches. I got punched so many times I probably got not said well. Mentally I was punching myself, I was hurting myself by doing it, I was hurting my character, I was hurting the effort and the work that I put in and I know there's a lot of people out there that do that.
Speaker 1:I had a conversation with a friend on yesterday. She's putting her all into doing what she needs to do. She's juggling a lot. She's trying to build herself a career and future, which a lot of people are going to try to do, which a lot of people try to do after college. And I have an episode catering to what to do after college and how to maneuver pretty much after college in a near episode and they'll be giving my intakes on the best ways to move after college, especially if you plan on trying to get into a career. How to career find, you know start job searching, know start job search. But anyway she puts, she puts her all into it and then at the same time she had a lot of. She had her own upsets of our own, and that and that comes with life and we still in that. Why I said a lot of people, when you saw, used to succeeding in excelling and wanting better for yourself.
Speaker 1:When you hit them fails, them fails feel like a punch to the chest, a hard punch to the chest. And that's another thing too, because you can take it as no. You shouldn't look at it like that. You should just go back and reframe. You can't tell people on how to take failure. You can't tell people you can't do. You can't't tell people on how to take fear. You can't tell people you can't. You can't do. You can't refer to people on how to take losses but at the same time, they have to learn how to get up and keep going. With them punches. They got to learn how to get slapped in the face and keep their head full.
Speaker 1:That's what life is you not gonna. Life is not always a walking trail. You gonna have gravel on the road sometimes you might have. You might have a lot of cracks in there, so you can't maneuver as fast as you may want to. We have to keep walking. You can't run through everything like one made for you to do it.
Speaker 1:Sure, you might get lucky if people other people may get looking at others, but it doesn't. That doesn't discredit their hard work today and put it in their craft in order to be successful, in order to be a better person, in order to be different. That's what it means to be a better. That's what it means going at your own pace, knowing your limitations, knowing your strengths, knowing your weaknesses. Working on your weaknesses to build them up to be screens. That's going at your own pace. I don't value nobody else's opinion other than mine if it's about me and what I need to do. Yes, you can take and this is another thing too.
Speaker 1:I would like to even say to y'all, and even the people that's watching, regardless of how old you is, there's a lot of people that are going to tell you what to do with your life. Pretty much as of now, you, being productive is the main focus at all times. Always be productive, be doing something. Please. Don't be wasting your time trying to go out and party and twerk on cars and do all these other nefarious things. You don't have to do that. Apply yourself first so you don't have to hold your head down and look crazy and wonder what you're going to do.
Speaker 1:It's some people that are 25, 26 that have nothing established for themselves. They have no retirement money put back. They have no money saved. The only thing they, the only thing that they're focused on buying is, uh, engaging in extracurricular activity, and I'm not talking about sports. Yes, they do everything else but this. You don't want to be one of them.
Speaker 1:People that's on the end of the stick, not knowing what to do, confused. Your parents are not gonna be here. That life is temporary, just like ours is. They're not gonna be here for them. But, at the same time, people you got to take yourself and you got to take yourself to a whole, nother different playing field. You can have people supporting you, but are you gonna support yourself enough to be able to get up and go and go, take what you want, to be able to get up and go live to the live, up to the expectation that you have said? It takes time to do this. You can't just do this overnight. Success doesn't happen as quick as you want it to. You have to work, for it feels better when you work for it Because you know the work that you put in. You know the time that you put in.
Speaker 1:I can even give y'all an example. Some of y'all may know him. If y'all don't, that's okay. Kassanet, a man that is the same age as me. He is 22 years old. He's the number one streamer in the world. He has over 700,000 subscribers subscribed to him on Twitch Times. That by $4.99. That's how much he gets back. That's how much a subscriber is worth. He has made over $2 million entertaining people and he's giving 20% back to a school he has worked for that. He came from a shelter that had rats and crawling through his screen and stuff like that, but he worked and persisted and got into a better condition. You can too.
Speaker 1:Just because you come from a small town don't mean you can't grow into becoming a bigger person. You got to have it in you to do that. Go at your own pace and I'm giving y'all an example and it's not me, that's. That's give y'all inspiration and it feels good to win. All that work you did is paying off and you finally living your dream. Do the hard work first. Be ahead before you get left behind. It don't take. Life passes you by fast. Next thing, you know, you 30-some years old with nothing saved up. You got kids, you got a whole family. Now your money going on bill and then you got to take care of the kids. So that then why I said, people, we got to start looking them more stuff internally than what we do. It's not gonna be always a game to where you'll be able to wiggle your way out of it or somebody gonna be able to get you out of it. You have to have that personality, that mindset to where I'm gonna go get these. If I want to dream, I'm gonna go achieve it.
Speaker 1:Nobody has gotten their dream done by just sitting down and complaining on the internet. You know how many people I see whining on Facebook and Instagram, crying, talking about how bad they like you, how much money they gotta spin out, but then I? Then they go buy $200, $300 pair of shoes. They go do everything else. They go buy $400, $500 worth of weed. Their priorities are messed up. Don't be one of them, people.
Speaker 1:I'd be the lamest person on earth if that means I can secure my future when I'm 30, I can go sit down. I don't have to work as hard. I don't have to wake up early in the morning on somebody else's clock. I don't have to be worrying about a lunch break getting back on time. I can go do what I need to do. I can work a little bit and go get and do other stuff and venture off into other fields, because that's something that I work hard towards doing. That's something that I want to do and I will do it.
Speaker 1:You got to speak it into yourself. People, this ain't something that you just going to get just out of nowhere. People just think, oh, I hope God bless me with it. God will, but you got to work for it too. You ain't showing nobody that you want to do now. You don't be the person always talking and I never proven it. I ain't never showing no action. I never showing people what am I capable of doing to make, to, to even make it believable for you, to even furnish their dream, and, regardless of whether what whoever say know that you got a purpose and you got a goal in this world. So if you're going to go out there and accomplish it, if you're going to go out there and actually make something happen to yourself, stop talking and go do it. You a man of many words but no action, and that's the worst thing to be People. Stop doing it.
Speaker 1:Look at the world that you're in. Stop looking at and idolizing these celebrities and stuff. You can go get the same amount of money, if not more, than they do. They are not God, they are not Jesus. Look at your life and fix it. If you know you need more money, start cutting back or get you another job, cutting back on your expenses and saving and putting it in a pot to where you can be able to go. Do this. You can be able to go take a vacation. You can be able to go pay off your debt, your student loan debt, or wherever the case may be.
Speaker 1:Focus on yourself first. It matters not who's looking, who's envying you or who's validating you. You don't need nobody congratulating you every step of the way. That's what you're supposed to be doing. You're supposed to be growing. I don't understand about a lot of people. You want people to amen you on your every move. They're not going to do that.
Speaker 1:If you actually believe and love yourself enough to go out here and walk these and get up and walk every day and go to work, you have the potential to become successful people. You just have to work. That's all you have to do. You just have to work. What is that? That you're not getting, that you feel like you can't do enough because you failed a couple times. So what? You gonna let people, you gonna let life push you around? Are you gonna take back your own life? I know you can be like oh, I know it's different, because my decision people that came out of many predicaments you gotta actually want to break yourself out of it.
Speaker 1:Come up out that hole, grab on to something and pull yourself out. You don't have to sit up there and cry no more nights. You don't have to sit up there and cry them tears at night. You don't have to sit up there and puzzle how you going to get through this and how you going to get through that People. Pull yourself up out that hole.
Speaker 1:Your goals and anything should be enough to wake you up in the morning and be overjoyed and ecstatic. It works for me. I can't speak for everybody else Now. If it don't, you need to find something that brings you that same happiness and that same overjoyedness, and there shouldn't be no relationship either. Find that peace within yourself that brings you way more fulfillment than anybody love can being happy in that, peace with yourself and, as I said, people, what's that called An internalized what I just said, going at your own pace, and that'll be the end for this episode and I appreciate y'all for watching and tuning in.
