For The Win!
So, I’m trying this thing out. It has been occurring. It’s been popping up on, not my FYP, but I guess my reality FYP. You know, when you, on the spiritual journey, you start believing, or I mean you don’t start believing, you just start accepting the truth of synchronicities. That the universe always works in your favor. And when the universe is always working in your favor, that means it’s always going to be there to throw these signs at you and it’ll throw everything that it can. It does not matter. Nothing is safe. You will get hit by anything and everything that the universe feels like it needs to hit you with.
And so lately it’s been showing me that I need to try this speech to text application or the service at least. Right now I’m using Wispr (not sure if it’s an acronym or not) and right now I will say I’m impressed I’m very impressed with its ability to capture the text and capture the sound in the way they format it. You know you don’t have to be specific. You don’t have to call a certain command. It usually does a good job at like quoting things listing things if you have to. And I haven’t seen like anything like bolden or put anything in bold or italicized. I’m not sure how that really works.
I think I’m still trying to figure this out but this is something that at first I was a little skeptical. I was enjoying my writing every day in the journal. I think that it really did improve my writing. I felt myself being able to write in regards to my quality of writing has definitely gotten better but just my ability to let it flow has increased. As I have stated the universe always works in my favor; it’s now doctrine, it’s now canon for me that when the universe is telling me and signaling that “hey you should try this or this is something you should look into…” I need to just go ahead and listen because more times than not when you don’t listen the universe will also show you and tell you ‘hey this is what you get for not listening’, right? We all been there and so I’m doing it right now and it’s it’s flowing, we’re going.
I think this is also better to improve my voice and improve my communication and you if you know right now if you’ve been following I have this six-month commitment to my self; five-months I started back at the end of July. But I like the six better than a five right, we want to be a Jordan you know what I mean? As much as I love Kobe Kobe is my GOAT but I gotta go get that sixth ring right and so this next six months is commitment to myself and we’re just flowing now we’re we’re doing so many things that it’s crazy where I think about it and it’s just like “damn the six is all it really took was just commitment to myself.”
You know commitment to myself really means I put myself first you know if people ain’t gonna call me to hang out then that’s all good I’m not calling them to hang out unless I want to hang out with them. If they’re people I feel like I want to hang out with I’m gonna give them a call. My attention is for me and it may sound selfish but I don’t think so I’ve been on the other end too many times and I’ve done so much for so many other people thinking that the gestures would be noted, at the least, but that’s not how it works and that’s the truth, that’s the honest truth, you gotta accept it.
You know I just wrote an article the other day where I stated that you’ll be in more trouble if you continue to look at life for the potential it can be rather than for what it really is and that goes with relationships as well you’ll always end up on the wrong side of that potential no matter what you know. I’ve taken it upon myself and said “you know what? no more outside no more going outside, no more looking on the outside needing external validation, because truthfully you really don’t need it. What you need is internal validation of your self from yourself.
And, you know, it’s not that I haven’t done it. It’s just, as I mentioned, I was always, I was always the type to go ahead and commit to others more than I did to myself. I was always on the wrong side. Yeah it hurt at the time definitely but it was some of the best lessons, most important lessons that I feel like I needed to learn in my life at that time.
Now it’s all about putting in work it’s all about discipline. It’s all about self awareness and being authentic. Keeping it the way I want to do it. I used to have a problem with sharing things sharing my thoughts, ideas, and just voicing of my opinion out to the public but now it’s like I created such a solid, structured, uncompromising, stable foundation of first principles with good morals and I’ve accepted that’s who I am. You know as much as the times as we’ve had everyone has a past at the end of the day you know my nature is always good at heart and so we’re continuing to flow.
This is what it is this is just another time to reflect there’s nothing wrong reflecting if you reflect every day that’s even better. You look at all your actions throughout the day you look at things that you wish you could have done or didn’t do or should have done or you know you could have done but you didn’t do. It’s all there and you have to reflect and I think that’s a big thing that people don’t like to do.
I realized that people get all anxious or they they get uncomfortable really when they start critiquing themselves. As they say people could be their own worst critic and I get it I understand it but this is why I’m here for; those that are their own worst critics, to tell you “hey it’s better that you are your own worst critic”, it’s better that way that’s how it should be the only problem is if you don’t build yourself up enough to go back and forth with that critic. If you allow that critic to always talk and narrate everything that you do that’s when the issue starts being involved so that you got a kill it you got to understand that, who are you?
You have the power to do anything that you want to do and that’s absolute. You got to have absolute faith in yourself. You have to have absolute belief in yourself. Understand like there’s so much you have there’s so much you can be in control of if you allowed it if you accepted that and people want to go ahead and dish off that control a little bit and it’s funny or it’s more ironic; it’s funny and ironic, it’s funny and ironic that people always want to control other people’s lives but they don’t want to fully control theirs and you sit there and say to yourself “well damn”, you know what I mean? Y”ou could have done all this to me, why couldn’t you just do that with yourself look at you wild’n out…”
And it’s one of those things you realize and that’s why for me I sit back now and I let people do their thing, I don’t judge them for it I understand them more. I get it that’s what it is but I also know hey you gotta relax if you don’t; if you’re gonna be in my bubble on my premise you gotta respect. I’ll allow you to; if I want your opinion or if I want your advice or anything of that sort I’ll ask it but if not just just be here and be you and I’ll be me and we could enjoy this time, we could enjoy our moment together and we can be present.
We do too much trying to control other people’s lives but yet we don’t have full control over our own. It never made sense to me so we got to keep rolling we got to keep it going and keep it moving you understand? Worry about you, all you can really control in this life is you! You! How you react! The choices you make you. Yes in some ways there is influence outside from the external variable but at the end of the day, ultimately, it was always going to be you that makes that deciding call.
Understand what it’s meant to be a shot caller; the shot caller has to know that not every and not every single body needs to get bodied. You have to be humble enough and not want to look like a tyrant. The shot caller understands when things are getting out of hand and order needs to take action. Be the shot caller right. That’s what real shot callers do they not always to hit somebody just for no reason. Every shot is calculated; they know who to hit, they know why they need to make that hit, they are aware when someone is intruding within the infrastructure and most of the time they’re plotting to take take some kind of control. Observe and stay quiet.
That’s one of the things that I’ve learned that I also had to do is be quiet. I used to be a talker, a lot, I used to really talk but sometimes I realized I could talk too much and that sometimes could always work against you. I’m a reflective man and I encourage everyone else to be reflective as well and understand at the end of the day we all need refinement and that’s okay.
Refinement is never a bad thing. Refinement is an everyday necessity for a cultivator. Here at CVLTIVAR our process, it’s an everyday process of giving yourself that attention that quality of attention that nurtures that allows that creation to be; yet also have the ability to say I don’t like this part of me, I don’t like this piece right here so imma have to cut this piece off just so more energy can go over here to this part and therefore your desired traits continue to build the right ones and that you give the energy towards the ones that are going to grow and sometimes those ones that you think that are the ones you desire sometimes might not really be, ultimately, the desired trait or skill and you have to come to a point where you realize tha. Always evolve, always continue to give yourself that nurturing, that attention, and that care to process and prune and prick things out.
You have to understand at this time it’s now or never. This is the best time to do it especially with everything that’s going on right now everything with AI. People if you’re not taking advantage of what’s going on with this AI stuff, if you’re not diving in right now, just playing around, even like I said if you could even, if you even learn just how to prompt how to write a good prompt that, itself can help you out. You don’t have to do all the things that it’s capable of doing at least get your foot in there because regardless if you like it or not AI is about to take over. Excuse me AI has taken over and it’s changing the game, it is absolutely changing the game. I’m seeing it and trust me I’m not even a tech guy so I’m not really that savvy with the technology but I could already tell, I could already look at the landscape and say damn AI is already here and it’s already leaving it’s mark. Within five years think about that since COVID-ish times around that time really because I know that’s when I started using ChatGPT and I was barely using ChatGPT. I was really just using it to chat with it at the time, I wasn’t even doing anything with that I was literally just having conversations when I had issues with with whatever, I would go to ChatGPT and just type something in real quick and then just chit chat back and forth and then leave it for what it is.
Now I’m using it to help me scale my my personal brand, now I’m helping it build my brand, it created my web site, it is crazy this is a revolution and you better get in it or you’re gonna get lost.
