Yeah, so day 26, one of my favorite days. You think about recovery because I remember 26 days. You know new habits. It takes about 21 to 30 days to form a new habit. So day 26 is right in that area where I wake up and I'm like man, I need to be doing this, this and this. Instead of that, yes, and that's a beautiful day, it's a beautiful moment. We're in a home stretch. Yep, it's light. Yes, after talking about peace, light is next up. Yes, I am the light and I have no fear 's nothing to fear, but fear itself. And who has time to be fearing? We ain't got time for that. You can't buy time. You can't buy time back. So what's the point? Right? So lift, ignite, gifting, healing and tranquility. That's light. Think about light. What does it do? Think about light just for a moment, take a quick moment. Think about what light does when you close your eyes and if you can see light right now in your mind, what does that do? Yes, I'm interested, I love it. I learn from people, I learn from you. This is how we do it. We do it together. This is a community, common unity. Yes, I am the light and I have no fear. Remind yourself, man, I'm telling you, recovery could be damaging, it could be hard, it could be tough. All those good things, but what it will do, when done correctly, it would help you persevere. And I'm telling you, perseverance is key when you think about recovery. That's the end game. Yep, day 26,. We near the end game. We have light now in our life and things feel much better. When I wake up now I'm smiling more. I'm looking forward to journaling. I'm looking forward to putting things on paper.

I say it all the time you cannot buy recovery. I wish I could send you an invoice and say a recovery is gonna be 99 cent tomorrow because that's cheap, okay, but you can't. You actually have to roll up your sleeves and put in the work and, yep, when you put in the work, there's obstacles. It's like a roller coaster ride You're going to. You might cry sometimes, you might laugh sometimes, but overall, what you're going to do is learn yourself and you're going to learn what works for you. So shout out to you, man, for putting in the work. I'm super proud of you, proud man. I'm proud to know you. Man, recovery is a huge thing and it takes a lot of work and not everybody can do it.

The light is that shiny spot in a dark room, man, light, and that's what you should always focus on. Keep your sights on the light, no matter how dim it is, because the more you walk towards it, the more it becomes bigger and brighter, and the more you do the work, the more it becomes brighter and it starts to shine. So shout out to everybody doing the work, man. It just excites me to think about the work that we're doing. Until next time, take care of yourself and each other. Let's go.
