Starting point is 00:00:00 Hi friends, I'm gonna start this episode off real calm and real sweet because I'm basically gonna tell you why you aren't achieving shit And I'm gonna attack you and I'm gonna give you a lot of honest truths that I needed to hear a long time ago And then I'm gonna tell you how to fix it and how to actually achieve things So all the little lessons I've learned about achieving things and meeting certain desires and goals Here we are. I'm gonna give it to you straight. So put on your big girl panties. You might shit them But I'm about to throw a lot of new perspectives at you a lot of truths and then I'm gonna tell you a couple of ways It's like my three assessments that I use to kind of check myself and I'm gonna tell you the three ways You can assess if you're going to achieve something and why you're not achieving it if you aren't yet
Starting point is 00:00:41 So let's jump into it. At first we're gonna start talking about desires So if you have a desire for something you you want something, you want to achieve something, you want to have something. There's nothing wrong with it. Desire is not bad. And there's a lot of reasons a lot of people think having a desire is bad. You can't get rid of it. You can't not want something that you want. So go ahead and accept that and then what are we going to do about it? So if I can't not want this thing, how can I manifest it? How can I actualize it? And we're gonna break down the whole manifestation bullshit a little bit in this episode? But the main thing I wanna get across about desires is you might be a little discouraged
Starting point is 00:01:12 when you think of something that you want. So like a goal for my life has always been to make a million dollars a month. Where the fuck am I supposed to start with that? I don't know how I'm gonna do it. I have no clue. But the thing you need to get about desires is you can't have a desire unless there is a way to get to it. Like it's not some twisted fucked up game
Starting point is 00:01:34 that the universe or God is playing with you whoever you wanna believe in. Like believe who you need to believe in and use that. But you're not being punished. You're not like getting sent a desire and like you just can't have it. Like, there's no joy that comes out of the universe or God from like, you wanting something and then them holding it from you.
Starting point is 00:01:52 No one's holding shit from you. And a lot of people get discouraged and I used to get very discouraged when I would have a desire for something like, oh, a million dollars a month. That seems ungodly to me, but I could not have this desire unless there was a possibility for it. So for me feeling discouraged is because I don't see a way to get there.
Starting point is 00:02:11 Yet, but there absolutely is a way to get there. There's so many ways to get there. So go ahead and knock that fucking discouragement right out of your head. If you think that there's something too big for you, you're just not aware of the way to get there yet or a way to get there. You have to commit to finding that. You have to commit to finding the way to get to what you want. And as soon as you do that, shit's gonna start unfolding. But my biggest point here comes, grab your bitches. You can't just ask for shit and
Starting point is 00:02:39 think it's gonna happen. Like this whole spirituality and all this talk about manifestation. use your thoughts and think things into reality. How the fuck good has that worked out for you? It probably fucking hasn't. That's what you're frustrated and landed on this video. Thinking thoughts and thinking that's gonna somehow manifest shit in your physical reality is bullshit.
Starting point is 00:02:59 It's not all of it. Like that's such a small fucking like 1% of what it takes to manifest something. It doesn't even fucking matter. It literally doesn't matter. Because there's not much energy in that. The energy is in action and what you're doing to actualize it. But before I get ahead of myself, if you have a desire for something, do not sit back and ask God for it or the universe and like declare it and get a crystal and get a candle and be like oh my god I want this thing okay do it
Starting point is 00:03:29 You know a fucking delusional that is I used to try it I used to fucking try it all the time And because that's what everybody preaches all these manifestation motherfuckers are always preaching this bullshit And I got to a point where I was asking for so much and none of it was happening I was like fucking with the fuck the universe would love me like I know I'm gay but God what the fuck? But do not sit back and just ask for shit to happen to you. That is throwing all of your power away and you're throwing every potential for your life out of your own hands. Oh I said I wanted it and now I'm gonna think about it and I'm gonna visualize it and I'm gonna journal and I'm gonna buy
Starting point is 00:04:04 crystals and it's just gonna poop happen. Babe it's not I'm gonna think about it and I'm gonna visualize it and I'm gonna journal and I'm gonna buy crystals and it's just gonna Poof happen. Babe, it's not. I'm so fucking sorry to say it, but that's not how life works That's not how shit goes and to put all of your power into some being that we don't even know if it exists or not like the universe or God like who the fuck knows if it's even real. There is a possibility we're all full of shit I prefer to believe in it because goddamn. But you're not here in this life to just passively live it and to passively manifest things. You're here to actively manifest things and create things. So we got a BFFR for a second.
Starting point is 00:04:37 Be fucking for real. You're in this life with a functioning body. You have a mind that thinks you have a body that works. You think that you were equipped with something like this to just go into a life and just like, ah, Passively just sit back and just ask and pray for things you weren't. You were sent in with energy inside of you and that is creative energy. You are allowed to put that into whatever the fuck you want to put into. You can literally manifest anything you want, but you have to put your ass behind it. You have energy to create. So you did. Like your little depression, your little sadness.
Starting point is 00:05:11 Okay, girl, cool. But are you going to do what it takes to do shit? Like I get there's so many things that come into it and come into play and our factors of it. But if you have a functioning body, you have no fucking excuse. And before somebody tries to come at me and be like, oh, I am handicapped, right? I don't have an arm. I took care of a patient who was quadriplegic, paralyzed from the neck fucking down, could not move his body. And he was a very, very successful software engineer. When he was born, he had full function like in control over his body, he could move, he could walk. And then he had an accident happen, a situation where he was shot at a gas station in the back of the neck and it paralyzes him for the rest of his life.
Starting point is 00:05:48 But that creative energy does not die. You can block it from coming out of you, but it does not go away. Because this patient of mine went through a lot of shit, but he chose to continue forward. And when there's a world, there's a goddamn way. He literally would sit at his computer with like, you know, those little like iPad things where it's like a pen and you can like touch on it, he would have a long stick and a mouthpiece and it was attached to it so that he could use his computer.
Starting point is 00:06:13 It was a touchscreen computer and he would bite the piece. I would have to put it into his mouth and he would like type things on the computer screen. He would book trips for nurses and take them on cruises. He would go on trips himself. He would have clients. He would fucking coach people. He could book trips for nurses and take them on cruises. He would go on trips himself. He would have clients. He would fucking coach people. He could use his mouth and talk and he could use his mouth to like poke the letters he needed and like the things he needed on the computer.
Starting point is 00:06:35 Bitch, if that ain't fucking inspiration for you to get off your fucking ass and do something, I don't know what is. I don't know what's gonna have to knock you up side your fucking head for you to get up. Okay, and I'm speaking like at myself, my old self, when I speak so intensely, Do something? I don't know what is. I don't know what's gonna have to knock you outside your fucking head for you to get up. Okay, and I'm speaking like at myself, my old self, when I speak so intensely, like it's I'm not yelling at you. You need to hear it, but I'm yelling at my old self because I convinced myself I was so just like,
Starting point is 00:06:56 unable to do shit, and then I had that experience where I took care of him and I was like, I have zero fucking excuse. My body works. I have 10 legs up on this. I'm so much at an advantage. Who cares if you're fucking depressed? You can still get your ass up.
Starting point is 00:07:10 And I was diagnosed as clinically depressed. Twice, chronically. Chronically depressed. Bitch, I know what it's like. I know exactly what it's like. And before you're trying to attack me, literally just listen to the people who have gotten out of the place you feel stuck in.
Starting point is 00:07:26 My whole podcast has me sharing everything that's got me out of the worst shit of my life and got me through it and what I've learned. So just take your little fucking beliefs and put them aside for a second and try on the shit that I'm telling you and just watch what changes. If you want to fight me and hold on to your beliefs that hurt you, have it. You can lead a donkey to water. I know the analogy is you can lead a horse to water, but you being a goddamn donkey. You can lead a donkey to water, but you can't make a fucking drink. I can drown
Starting point is 00:07:51 you in it, but you're still not gonna drink it. So if you want to have your beliefs that don't work for you and that hurt you, have them. I'm gonna share what the fuck has worked for me. But my whole point with this is you are able to create and manifest so much more than you even give yourself credit for. This man with a body that does not work is doing more than you. He's figured it the fuck out. He's committed to it.
Starting point is 00:08:15 He's driven. He's doing what it takes. Like girl, oh my god, that is the most inspiring experience I've ever had. And I had that situation line up with me when I needed it most. It woke me the fuck up. But moving on to my next point, stop being such an entitled little shit. inspiring experience I've ever had and I had that situation line up with me when I needed it most. It woke me the fuck up. But moving on to my next point, stop being such an entitled little shit. Just because you ask for something doesn't mean you're gonna get it.
Starting point is 00:08:32 You have the full capacity and the full ability to create something. Why the fuck would God just give it to you? Use your own ass to do it. He's got enough on his plate. He got enough people asking for shit. Literally put your own ass behind what you want. You need to recognize the power you have. Recognize the energy you have to put into things and make it manifest and literally it's there. Like it's in all of us. We all have it. You think I just had all this shit happen to me. That's happened to me.
Starting point is 00:08:59 No girl, I had to create it. Every single person you see has had to put energy into everything that they have and do. It might look like, oh, it was just handed to them. A lot of people paint that image, a lot of people are fucking suffering and you have no idea. But I'm gonna take it down a notch on the aggressive side, because now I have like some really serious things I want you to get. And if I'm screaming, you're gonna be a little bit on the defense and not as receptive. But instead of trying to passively just like will things into existence and ask for them and throw all your power away I want you a lot of people do that because they don't see that they're capable or don't feel capable like people turn to a higher power when they have absolutely nothing and they feel incapable and they Feel hopeless. So I get it
Starting point is 00:09:38 But what I want you to start doing is Flipping your focus from how you can't do something or how you can't achieve something and manifest something and start seeing how you can. See what advantages you do have, see the ability you do have, see what you can put into actualizing whatever it is that you want. And I have a lot of personal examples and a lot of shit I'm going to run you through, but this is just like my first little hot take. So let's visit the idea of having a desire. Like there's something that you want,
Starting point is 00:10:05 whether it's money, fame, to look a certain way, to like be muscular or be skinny, like whatever your desire is for anything, a boyfriend, a girlfriend, literally anything you want in this life. I want you to start focusing on the actions you can take to having that happen and to creating that. What the fuck actions can you take
Starting point is 00:10:23 that will get you any step closer to what it is you want. So every time you have a desire from now on, sit down and make an action plan. What are all of the things that I can do? And literally break it down into daily things. Make it very real. Make it something that you work toward if you want it bad enough consistently and daily.
Starting point is 00:10:41 Like, even if you don't know the exact actions to take, you don't need to. There are certain things that you know to do that will propel you forward. And as you keep going forward, you're gonna learn more shit. So where you are vibrationally when you're standing at the beginning, you start taking a few steps, even if they're not like the right steps
Starting point is 00:11:00 or the best steps, you're already moving forward. You can't go back. So if you're already moving forward. You can't go back. So if you're already moving forward, your perspective from this new standpoint is going to be completely different. You are a match to new shit that you were not a match to back here. So as you take any step forward, you're a match to new ideas, new experiences and new awareness that will get you closer to what you want, but you have to start walking toward it. You have to start doing anything that you can to start getting in that direction. And now we're going to get into my three assessments. So the three ways that I assess my actions to check myself and get myself in line
Starting point is 00:11:34 to make sure I'm going to actualize what it is that I want. Assessment number one, are you just saying that you want something or are you actually doing something to get it? Like look at your life, whatever it is. So my example, I used to always say I wanted money, I wanted financial freedom, I wanted abundance, I wanted to just be able to go buy whatever the fuck I wanted to buy. Who doesn't want that, right? But when I looked back at my life, when I was sitting down and just like saying I want financial freedom, when I assessed my actions, what the fuck was I actually doing to get there? Nothing. I was not doing shit to actually make me more money. I was trying certain things here
Starting point is 00:12:14 and there, but nothing at the scale I needed to to get to where I wanted to go. Like working a job is not abundance. That's a fucking paycheck. That's a salary that's going to help you live. What can you do to get out of that? What can you do to surpass that? Gwaking up, going to the gym, going to your job, what part of your day was actually focused on abundance? None of it. Fucking none of it. So you really have to take inventory. I was like, Leo, you're saying you want this thing, but do your actions match that? Do your actions match your desire? No, bitch, if you keep doing what you're doing, you're never gonna get there. So how the fuck do you expect to get there? So after I kind of realized I'll listen took inventory of like my life and I was like, okay, you're actually not
Starting point is 00:12:53 putting your ass behind anything that you say that you want. I started to do that. So I didn't know where to start with making money and like having financial abundance. So I just started reading about it. I started reading everything I could about money. I started researching money, the flow of money, the energy of money, the transfer of money. I started reading as many books as you can find on money. I've probably read all of them out there like the psychology of money. I've looked up and researched and consumed everything about money that I knew I could at the time. And that brought me so many more perspectives, knowledge and Guidance for trying to make it. How'd I just sat back and kept saying oh universe? Oh my god, I want money
Starting point is 00:13:37 I wouldn't be any closer even just reading the fucking 20 books that I found. I Was so much closer and so much more ahead and I was actually doing something to actualize it and then guess what happened. Ideas started visiting me, that would make me money. I started trying things. I started doing a lot of shit different. My whole perspective and attitude and relationship to money flipped and it completely changed and it allowed me to start being in circumstances and situations that feel prepared for them and ready for them and a match to them to make money. I also researched how to manage money and what to do with it.
Starting point is 00:14:05 Like how money is transferred, what you do with it. Literally, I learned everything you could about it. And then, like I say in my other podcast episodes, like my one about productivity, just because you learned something doesn't mean shit. Now you need to apply it. This is where the action step comes in. So at the beginning, the action step to get toward my goal
Starting point is 00:14:23 was to learn about it. Okay, I learned about it. Now what? Learning about it, don't do shit. A lot of people get caught up in the whole education side. Like, oh, I need to learn more. No, bitch, there comes a point where you just need to act. Like, there's nothing left for me to learn about money. I just had to start acting. And as soon as I started doing shit, sure I failed, sure things fucked up. But I started making money, and now I'm starting to make money out of level that I'm like, I am financially free. So it just stacks on itself, but you need to assess your actions. What the fuck are you doing for it? You don't get to sit here and just claim that you want money if you're not doing
Starting point is 00:14:58 jack shit for it. And I know people are going to get pissed, you're like, oh there's people who are born into it. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Were you? No, you can't deal with the cards in someone else's hand. You can only deal with the cards that you've been dealt. So, make the fuck in best of it. A lot of people don't have to learn about money. A lot of people are born into it. Or a lot of people do have success
Starting point is 00:15:17 on their first little venture, and they become a fucking billionaire overnight. Cool, is that your hand of cards? No, you can sit here and cry and complain. You're like, oh, it's not fair. What is that gonna do? How is sitting here and complaining and looking at how shit is not fair?
Starting point is 00:15:31 Going to get you closer to your goals. It's not. Shut the fuck up and deal with what your situation is. Put blinders on. Pretend like nothing else exists. Deal with your personal reality and what you need to do to get to where you need to go. That's what you need to focus on and that's fucking it.
Starting point is 00:15:46 And I want to harp on that point one more time. You don't have to know what to do. Literally take any step and it will just start to unfold. It's not going to make sense because when I look back on my life and my whole journey, a lot of things don't make sense for when I would go for something that I wanted. It would come in a way that I didn't expect or certain things would happen and when I was going through it, I was like, what the fuck? How does this relate? How is this even like, what? But if you just continue following it down that path, it's not gonna make sense for the first five steps. But once you make 20 steps, you're gonna be able to look back and be like, okay, those first five, now I get it. Now they make sense. Certain things can only be realized in retrospect. You can only realize and understand shit when you look back on it. You're not gonna get it while you're in it.
Starting point is 00:16:31 So just stay focused, stay moving forward, keep taking steps, even if they don't really make that much sense. Just follow the shit, just do it. Something is better than nothing. Okay, just remember me saying, do not stop and always put your ass behind your words. If you say you want something, okay, now what am I going to do for it? And then start doing it. Okay, so assessment number two for your actions is how much you actually doing. Like get really real with yourself and look at how much you're actually doing toward your goal. So when I was reading books on money and all this I was reading like two to three a week and
Starting point is 00:17:07 a lot of people would be like, oh, I'm reading a book a month How fast you think that's gonna fucking come how fast do you think you're gonna manifest that shit like get fucking for real Like again BFR be fucking for real and look at how much you're actually doing like when I started my app Positive focus and I was trying to get it out there and gain like awareness of it, I was messaging therapists. It was like an idea that I had to like Google all the therapists in the United States and reach out to all the counselors and therapists I could find over email and let them know about my app. Because I figured it would help me get awareness of it
Starting point is 00:17:39 and they could recommend it to clients. I was like, okay, it's probably gonna be like a slow thing, but like word of mouth, it'll get out. So like I was like, my main thing is just awareness of the app. I need people to it to clients. I was like, okay, it's probably gonna be like a slow thing, but like word of mouth, it'll get out. So like I was like, my main thing is just awareness of the app. I need people to know it exists. So I would take an hour every day when I woke up and I would message 50 therapists and counselors.
Starting point is 00:17:55 Like I would just go on, type up an email and copy and paste it and send it to 50 different fucking people. 50 people. Looking back now, I'm like, huh, bitch, like 50 people a day and you thought you was gonna get some kind of return off of that? Please, I literally learned this after like a week. I was like, okay, 50 a day, like for real, like look at your actions. Well, how much are you actually doing? Because you feel like you're doing a lot. I've convinced myself I was doing so much. Oh my God,
Starting point is 00:18:23 just 50 people. Oh my God, it's just so much work. I bumped that shit up to 300. I started doing 300 a day. And then I started seeing results because I wasn't seeing shit with 50 and I was frustrated and I'm like convincing myself, I'm doing so much work. I'm like doing so many. 50? Girl, half the people ain't gonna fucking read the shit and half the people ain't even gonna see it. So like what, one out of 50 is gonna say something about it and you might get a download from that, will be shit. I literally had to look at how much I was doing and get real with myself.
Starting point is 00:18:53 So I started doing 300 a day. And then I got to what I was doing 500 a day. And I was, then I was actually like, girl, I'm tired. I'm doing a lot of fucking work. Then I felt like I was working. And that's when I started seeing a little bit of return on it and some more downloads. But that's my biggest thing with assessment number two. How much are you actually doing? And can you be doing more? And if you're okay with only doing 50 a day, you also need to sit
Starting point is 00:19:15 down and shut the fuck up and not be like, Oh my God, why is it not happening faster? What can you do to make it happen faster? Like I said, look for what's in your control. Look for what you can do. Not, oh my god universe, why is it not happening faster? Girl, you only listen to 50 fucking emails a day. Bump that shit up. Asking the universe for more is not gonna do anything. You need to do things that are going to bring you more downloads. This is what I was telling myself.
Starting point is 00:19:41 Like, take it out of the fucking universe's hands. What can I do? That shit saved me. And it saves me to this day with everything that I do. Okay, so assessment number three, are you contradicting yourself with your actions? So if you say you want something, are your actions in line with it,
Starting point is 00:19:58 or are they contradicting it? And if they're contradicting it, you need to clear that shit to fuck up quick. So like when I used to say, oh my God, I want to save money. I'd be over here spending a bunch of money. Where the fuck does that make a logical sense? Like, clearly, you have this goal of saving money, but you're doing things that are countering
Starting point is 00:20:16 that. It's like trying to lose weight. If you're trying to lose weight and you declare, I want to lose weight, I have a desire to lose weight. I'm fat. And then you go eat bad. It's obvious to disconnect. It's obvious the reason you're not gonna fucking get there. Your actions are what's fucking you up. It's not that you're not meditating enough. It's not that you're not revisiting childhood trauma correctly. That's why you are holding on to weight. Now, bitch,
Starting point is 00:20:40 as as simple as your fucking actions, you're contradicting your goddamn self. No, no wonder there's no progress. And my biggest thing with this is like, you really need to take a look at your actions and what's holding you back and what you can be doing instead. Because a lot of this is in your control. You sabotage yourself so much more than you realize. With a lot of things that you do, like when I was trying to save money and I was spending it. Literally, everything was in my control.
Starting point is 00:21:02 It wasn't that the universe hated me. And I was just like doomed and fucked up Like oh, I just can't save money Yes, you can stop spending it or make more. Huh? What a crazy idea, but I didn't see it at the time. I was just like oh my god There's just so many things that keep coming up that I have to buy do you really have to buy them? I understand unexpected expenses. That's valid, but I understand unexpected expenses. That's valid, but
Starting point is 00:21:32 Stop buying ship itch like put your actions in line with what you say that you want like stop eating if you want to lose weight No, not stop eating entirely, but like stop eating bad shit stop eating so much Literally how to do that with myself too like I did all this at once and it was a fucking fever dream from hell trying to like revamp my life in every aspect, but look at me now Got money and I'm in shape Okay, so my next point is like a little tidbit. I just want to throw in about sacrifice Because I have a bad relationship with sacrifice and I do not believe in sacrificing things But at the end of the day you are gonna have to make sacrifices, but it is your Decision for how you feel
Starting point is 00:22:05 about a certain sacrifice. So sacrifices can feel good or they can feel like shit and the way you look at them is it will make them feel good or bad. So you can negatively sacrifice something and be like fuck and be like upset about it and depressed about it and disappointed. I just say disappointed and less about depressed. Shut up, y'all fucking get it. Or you can feel really good about a sacrifice. I'm like I'm glad I did this. So one thing that I do is look at sacrifices like a trade-off. So when I wanted to get my life on track and I really wanted to pursue making money and like, being successful, I had to stop doing a lot of the partying I was doing and hanging out with a
Starting point is 00:22:40 lot of the people that I was around. So I had to make a trade-off and I was going into a life where I was alone and not spending money, not having fun, not going out, not drinking, not doing all this shit. I was still smoking cigarettes because I'm not getting rid of everything. But I had to make that trade-off and a lot of people can't do it. A lot of people can't make the trade-off and they can make it for a minute and they can't stick to it and that's a lot of people's fucking problem. But it's very, very difficult to trade off and they can make it for a minute and they can't stick to it and that's a lot of people's fucking problem. But it's very, very difficult to trade something off for something that's in the future. So for me to trade off all of my current fun and my current life with all my friends and
Starting point is 00:23:15 like drugs and parting and drinking it's so much fun. For me to trade all that off for the potential of success was very hard. But if you commit to figuring out a way to do it, it will happen. Whether it takes one year or 10 years, if you commit to figuring it to fuck out, you will do it. But you will never get there if you don't make that trade-off. So, even if it does take 10 years, you're gonna do it or not. Are you willing to sacrifice for it or not? If you're not, that's totally okay. There's certain sacrifices I'm not willing to fucking make. And if financial freedom and like securing yourself
Starting point is 00:23:50 financially is not something you're willing to sacrifice your social life for, then don't. You can go after both. It will just slow down the progress. And that's totally okay. You're allowed to set boundaries around what you will sacrifice. That's totally healthy. That's totally fine. I encourage you to. So when you ask the universe for something, set a fucking boundary around it. Make shit fall into your boundaries, like you're not willing to give certain things up, or you are willing to give certain things up. So that's one thing to get clear on, is what you're willing to trade off, and what you're not willing to trade off. But my biggest thing with sacrifices is focusing on what I'm choosing. Because if you just focus
Starting point is 00:24:23 on what you're losing all the time and what you no longer get to have, it's gonna feel negative. But if you focus on what you're gaining and what you're choosing by making a certain trade off or sacrifice, it's gonna feel a lot better. You're not gonna feel like you're losing things all the time. You're gonna feel like you're gaining things.
Starting point is 00:24:39 And you also have to keep yourself accountable with what's in line with your goals. So when I was cutting off my friends and stopped partying and stopped drinking to start working on my businesses and getting my fucking shit together, I was spending money on alcohol and going out to eat and drugs and all this shit. And then when I switched, I was like, okay, I'm gonna make the tradeoff of not eating out, not spending money on shit and just saving the money so that I can invest it into the
Starting point is 00:25:04 businesses that I want to start and the things that I want to try. So when I had the money in my hand, I got to make the trade off of like, do I want to go out to eat with it or do I want to put it in my savings? That's going to help me actualize my desire. Which one do you want to do? Which option is in line with your goals? If you're ever confused about which decision to make, which action is going to get me closer to my goals and then do that one.
Starting point is 00:25:26 Because putting it in my savings got me closer to where I want it. Going and blowing it on a fucking bag or stop. Can't just speak so freely. Can I? Am I allowed to go speak freely or not? Like, YouTube demonetizes me. I make nothing off YouTube. But like, am I allowed to speak this freely? I don't fucking know. Girl, arrest me. I don't give a shit. I'll still make my podcast from jail.
Starting point is 00:25:51 I'll just have to do it in like a written form. So I'll like put an article out every week. But anyway, my whole point with that was just focus on what you're choosing and what you're gaining over what you're losing. Sacrifices do not have to feel bad. They can feel really good. If you just focus on what you're gaining and what you're getting. But what I say, what you're losing. Sacrifices do not have to feel bad. They can feel really good. If you just focus
Starting point is 00:26:05 on what you're gaining and what you're getting. But what I say, what you're choosing, you are choosing it. It's not like, oh, I just have to give up on my friends. You're choosing it. You can choose to go hang out with them, but you know where that path leads. Does it get you to where you want to go? Yeah. Okay, so my next little thing I want to hit on is about when shit goes wrong and when things get difficult and things start fucking up Because that's something that would stop me a lot in the past like I was like oh my god, it's a sign I should stop No What you need to do is Re-commit every time something fucks up or goes wrong
Starting point is 00:26:41 Literally reassess the situation if you've tried something and it hasn't worked, how much are you willing to recommit to it? The universe is kind of going to test you. I don't really know if it's a test, but it's like everything that goes wrong and you recommit, it's like the more energy you're putting into this thing being manifest. So if nothing can stop you from shoving your energy into it, it's gonna come. If you just hurdle every single thing that fucking comes up and you keep recommitting to it, you keep recommitting your energy to it and it's gonna fucking manifest. But if you have hurdles happen, you don't jump them and you just stop putting your energy
Starting point is 00:27:19 into it, you're never gonna get it. But I have noticed the more that I recommit to things, the more things line up. Like, it's like, I'll recommit like five or six times and I'm like, enough bitch. And then all of a sudden, it's like a streak of things just lining up weird. Like, the universe is there to help you and will guide you, but the universe is there to co-create. You have universal energy inside of you, god energy, whatever you want to fucking say. Like, the ability to create is inside of all of us. But the universe at large is going to co create with you. It's not going to sit here and give you
Starting point is 00:27:53 anything. If you're just sitting on your ass, you chose into this life to go about manifesting things and through your actions and having that energy and expressing that and creating the things that you want. So do it. Like the universe is not gonna fucking do it for you. And what I mean by recommit, oh my god girl. When I had the desire to make my podcast, a video podcast on YouTube and start filming this, every fucking thing you can imagine
Starting point is 00:28:21 would go wrong, went wrong. Every single thing went wrong when I ordered my camera it was an absolute shit show absolute shit show that's not happened with it my mic I ordered two pieces of it I didn't realize you needed like all this other shit to go with it so I had to like push off like starting to record on YouTube for a week and that's what happened in the beginning like the guy you guys that have been here like, since me like transitioning from like audio to video,
Starting point is 00:28:48 if you didn't know, episode one through 39 of my podcasts is just audio. It's on Apple Podcasts in Spotify. But all my video episodes like switching and starting to record it also, bro, every single thing that went wrong could go wrong. And it did. And I recommitted every single time. Every single time something went wrong with the microphone. I bought more shit with the camera
Starting point is 00:29:09 I sent it back and returned it and exchanged it and got the right one because like they sent me a broken one And then the other one wasn't gonna get here in time Before I started wanting to start filming so I ordered a different one Use it for two weeks and then returned it before the other one was coming That's why the video shit looks so different, but I made it fucking work, I made it happen. I had to keep recommitting, I had to fucking by lighting. There was so many things like my software for my computer, learning how to fucking use it,
Starting point is 00:29:35 a pain in the ass, but I committed to figuring it out. When I recorded my first episode, I had a stain on my shirt, and I had to re-record the whole fucking thing. The second episode I did I recorded it all the audio didn't save had to record it again I kept having these hurdles happen and I kept recommitting and look at me now on fucking YouTube And I've been doing it consistently, but she's gonna come up. She's gonna go wrong
Starting point is 00:30:00 But the more you recommit the more energy you're putting into it, and the more competent you'll feel that you will make shit happen. Like you snatch the fucking power out of the universe and you find it in yourself. And you're no longer like, oh my god, please help! It's like, nah, Leo, you got this. It's not like, I don't need help. I don't need you to fucking assist me, I'll do it. I don't care what comes up, I'm gonna make it happen.
Starting point is 00:30:24 That is when you feel happy and fulfilled and that life is worth living. Is when you feel like you fucking control it. So that's the way to get there. Also with moving to Houston, girl, when I tell you everything went wrong about the podcast, switching it, every fucking thing went wrong when I moved to Houston But I was committed to moving here and living here and making it happen. I did a whole podcast episode I did too about all the headache and all the bullshit I was going through They're both on the audio version of my podcast But I vented about like everything going wrong and I kept having to recommit. There was no option to opt out I did not give myself the option of like going back home or not moving here.
Starting point is 00:31:05 Motherfucker, one side decided I wanted it, then actions were in line with it and I kept hurtling everything that came up and I kept recommitting. And it's the best decision I ever fucking made. So if you're facing something or you're like, everything's just going wrong at the beginning,
Starting point is 00:31:18 maybe it's a sign, maybe the fuck it's not. Maybe you're not being punished, you're being prepared for what the fuck you need to go through to be strong enough to handle when you get this desire because a lot of the things that went wrong when I moved to Houston prepared me for Everything I've had to handle and who I've had to grow into to handle all the situations that I'm in now It was all a key part of it. You're not being punished. You're being prepared But it's gonna feel like you're being punished while you're going through it
Starting point is 00:31:44 Like I kept looking up at the universe like you fucking rat bitch. What the fuck is the point? I literally am so Like I get it. I get why everything is hard to happen this way. I get that it's built me into who I am But when I die When I get to the gates of heaven I'm not saying a word God put your fucking hands up I'm walking in that bitch and I'm swinging on site I'm just going to town you motherfucker wanted to sit up there my whole life and though shit at me My whole life and just think it was funny
Starting point is 00:32:15 I think there was no consequence for my actions I know it was here to help me but you punk bitch you're I'm gonna get my fucking lick back I don't care if you beat my ass. I'm going to hell anyway because I'm gay But I'm at the hands with you bitch. I'm not saying shit when I walk into the gates of heaven I'm just swinging my soul is so pissed off. Oh My god, like I get it. I understand everything that's happened. I get how it was for me But fuck you for making me go through that shit. You couldn't have found a different way Like you just had to make so many minor inconveniences
Starting point is 00:32:47 Happened for me like what the fuck? Every single thing that I've ever tried I've always felt is so prevented because the amount of ironic shit that goes wrong I've handled it all and I've hurtled it all but I'm gonna get my fucking lick back bitch Watch me live to like 120 years old because god don't want me to die He's like I don't want that one coming up you. But my point behind that little tangent is, shit's gonna feel like you're being punished and like it's going wrong. Keep hearted Link, keep recommitting. Trust me. From someone who's been there, keep recommitting. Just do it. It's gonna happen. Okay, so now I want to talk about a couple of little things That you require action because a lot of people like to get into the delusional thinking of like oh you can just manifest shit
Starting point is 00:33:31 So I'm gonna pop that bubble real quick So if you want to build muscle you can't just sit in your bed and just Imagine it and meditate and rub a crystal on your fucking clip and fucking like sit there and think it into existence You have to go pick up a weight. You have to go eat protein and eat shit that's gonna rebuild your body. You have to go break down the muscles and then fuel your body to rebuild them bigger. That's how it goes. You cannot get big muscle wise without taking action.
Starting point is 00:33:58 I don't care how long you lay in your fucking bed and visualize it. Good luck, bitch. That whole discreet everybody loves. Much of horse shit. There's so much miscommunication and things that are not clarified grow. The same thing with growing on social media. Like when I have the desire to grow on social media, you have to post, fucker, you have to do shit. You can't just sit here and oh my god, I posted one video. Hope it blows up. For real? A lot of people think like that and I like I need to wake you up.
Starting point is 00:34:34 Sure, a lot of people can make one video and blow up like the wizard Liz, like that buck and bitch is like a weird case where she just made one video and it popped off. But would she have gotten as big as she is if she only ever made that one video? No, can you only bank on that one video doing well? No, what can only bank on that one video doing well? No. What can you bank on? You can bank on the numbers game of how many videos you will post. So if you only give one video for the universe to have go viral if you want to play it like that, give the universe a thousand videos to make go viral and see what the fuck happens. Raise your likelihood. Raise your fucking likelihood and put your actions behind it and create it. Like literally the ones bound to pop off if you do a thousand.
Starting point is 00:35:10 If you make one, probability is like this. Probability is like so edy-edy, like an ant. But now I'm gonna kinda get into things like the podcasts that I'm gonna be on. I had a desire that I wanted to go on some big podcasts and like go be a guest, cause I just, I've always wanted to do that.
Starting point is 00:35:29 Like go on podcasts and just like share some shit that I know, or like help you guys get to know me. Like getting interviewed is different from me being here. So you'll see me in a whole different light when I go on Drew's podcast. And I'm also going on SpinSwi. I'm actually leaving tomorrow to go to LA, but you'll be seeing this on Sunday.
Starting point is 00:35:44 So happy Sunday. But I had a desire to get on bigger podcasts. Now, I can sit here and just grow my social media and keep posting and just wait for someone to stumble across my page and maybe ask me to be on their podcast or I can take it the more active and empowered approach and reach out to people. What's the higher likelihood, bitch? What's actually going to help me actualize that and manifest that desire and have those opportunities.
Starting point is 00:36:13 I'm going to take the active approach. I started messaging people and it fucking worked. I messaged Drew. She was the first one I messaged and it fucking worked. And now I'm going to be on the podcast. But I had to take the active approach of reaching out. You can't just sit back and be fucking worked. And now I'm gonna be on the podcast. But I had to take the active approach of reaching out. You can't just sit back and be like, universe, send me podcasts to be on,
Starting point is 00:36:29 girly pop, get your fucking fingers moving. Type you some shit, reach out, make your own podcast, make a name for yourself that someone would want to have you on their podcast as a guest, and then it will increase the likelihood. You see what I'm saying? Take the empowered approach with everything. Stop doing the powerless shit.
Starting point is 00:36:44 My last little example I wanna give you is like when I created my app, I talk about this a lot but it's such a good learning experience for everyone, even myself. But when I talk about taking actions even though you don't know what to do, I had an idea to make this app. Okay? So I started researching it to see if something else existed. Nothing on like the quality level that I wanted Existed like the quality of the messages coming through those other notification apps that will send you positive notifications, but they're like little horse shit. Like they're like fucking stupid.
Starting point is 00:37:11 I wanted things that would actually make you think and would shift your focus. So I was like, okay, there was a hole in the market. I'll do it. How do you create an app? I don't fucking know. I literally didn't know. So, first thing I did was go to a trademark attorney and
Starting point is 00:37:27 have the name trademarked and Then I asked him how do I have an app created and then he guided me to Where to start looking for an app developer and then I had the app developed But there was so many things that went wrong with me trying to start this fucking app, but I do want to say there are gonna be messages and signs that you are being guided and I don't know if you believe a numerology or not, but repeating numbers are gonna pop up. When you're going down the right path and you're doing something, you're gonna start seeing synchronicities and things are gonna pop up and it's like the universe's way of
Starting point is 00:38:06 Communicating with you that you're supported. So a lot of things were going wrong with me Just meeting with this fucking attorney to even just get to know where I'm supposed to go next But before I went to go see an attorney. I could've been to myself I can just be an app developer and for 30 days I was like trying to learn how to code and create an app and it just was Too much and I couldn't figure it the fuck out. I could have had I kept doing it But I was just not willing to keep putting in that work I'll just fucking pay for someone for it like I was like dealing cards at the time
Starting point is 00:38:37 I had some money so I literally was like okay, I want this app out quick I don't have another fucking year to sit here and fucking teach myself out of code So I'll just go pay someone to do it and then when I met up with the attorney so many things were going wrong And I was like am I making the right decision? Is this attorney gonna be able to help me? Am I gonna get the name positive focus because I had to request it like I it was very hard to get that trademark But when I went to the attorney I was a little doubtful and I was a little like all right There's been too many hurdles already.
Starting point is 00:39:06 Like, is this shit even like, like, god damn, is it worth it? Like, how many hoops do I have to jump through? Like, I'm not a fucking circus animal. I was one for this app. Jumped through all kind of hoops. But one of the synchronicities that I had happen was the lawyer brought up, like, some kind of mock-up paperwork and there was like a screenshot of a certain app and it was like one of the apps that I had looked up
Starting point is 00:39:32 to like create the concept off of and then put my own quotes and like change the design and all that short but like the concept I had, the attorney, I didn't tell him anything about this. He was like, oh, I just printed this out in case you wanted it and to like help you because I really liked the idea behind your app, because I had like been on the phone
Starting point is 00:39:50 with them before I went to see him to tell him what the meeting was about. And then when I saw him, it was like to draft everything up and like get the trademarks submitted. He printed out ideas for me. It was the exact same app that I was like inspired by. And on the top of the screenshot, on his phone, he's screenshot the like app store.
Starting point is 00:40:09 And the time on his phone was 444. And it was printed, I still have the paper. I don't know where it's at, but I still have that paper of the muck up he printed. And he just printed that for me to have it. I was like, here, I wanna like help you however I can. But that was the universe's way of talking to me in that moment because I was second guessing shit.
Starting point is 00:40:30 And I didn't know if it was worth it, but like, how do you fucking explain that? You know, like you got to watch out for those synchronist and he's look for repeating numbers. 444, 777, anything that there is. I actually have 777 tattooed on my foot right here Me and my sister have it matching but that little synchronicity brought me so much comfort in that moment because I was like Like all my questioning went away and I fully was like I'm doing this like I felt supported to recommit
Starting point is 00:40:58 So I fucking did there was a whole shit show of new obstacles that came up after that But there was also synchronicities that like helped me along. And even when there was periods where there was no synchronicities, I still was just driving through it. And then more would pop up. But my point with that is to say you are being guided. Whether you want to believe in the higher power or the universe or anything, you're being guided.
Starting point is 00:41:20 And you will be tested. But the more you recommit, I swear to God, it just lines up. Like the more you can recommit, no matter how bad it gets, the more you recommit, unless it's a relationship. Give that shit the fuck up. But the more you commit to a goal, I swear to God, it's going to get bad, it's going to get dark, but just keep moving, keep recommitting if you really, really want it. If something can stop you from recommitting, you don't want it bad enough. Try something else. But if you know
Starting point is 00:41:47 you fucking want this thing and you're committed to it, nothing will be able to stop you. And that level of forward-moving creative energy coming out of any being, that shit's gonna manifest. And that is where I'm gonna leave this podcast episode off. I hope this was helpful. I'm sorry if you got offended, but you needed to hear all of it. You can't fight me and say that it wasn't good information. Love you. It was all coming from the heart. It was helpful. I'm sorry if you got offended, but you needed to hear all of it You can't fight me and say that it wasn't good information Love you. It was all coming from the heart.
