Speaker 1:
Hey everyone, remember, if you're gonna be anything, be authentically real. Good morning and welcome back to Life. Be Lifin' with your host, me Alyssa B Okay y'all. So I've always aspired to just be authentically real, be myself, be a good person, be kind, be generous, be respectful, and I have such a big heart that I'm always, always looking for ways to help others or just show that I'm a better person or being a good person, and recently I've come up against some challenges that have really tested me and just really tested me as a person, and I don't know. I'm still going through them, so I don't know how this is going to push me through or how this is going to change me or affect me later in my life. I haven't reached that point yet, guys. I'm literally in the midst of my storm right now, and there's a light at the end of the tunnel. I just don't know how to get to that light just yet. And so this is my journey of trying to figure that out, and I'm going to share that with you every day, I'm going to come in here and decompress about what I've done each day to try and work through this journey, and so the first part of it is I'm not financially stable. And so the first part of it is I'm not financially stable, not where I want to be, Not where I can say all of my bills are paid and I'm not second guessing where the money is going to come from to pay the next bill type situation, because I'm not there. My goal is to get there, but I'm not there. The other struggle is with relationships with the people in my life and the people around me. Um, I'm not secure in those relationships. These people are not who I thought they were and are not. They're just not who I thought they were. And so now I'm learning how to transition out of these relationships and into, I guess, my lonely phase where I'm only allowing the relationships in my life to be beneficial to me, and I don't mean financially, I mean beneficial in every way possible.
Speaker 1:
A friend of mine recently said to me and he mentioned this to me because he said when you start on a new path, things tend to happen, whether they be good or bad, things tend to happen when you start on a new path. And so he said to me, with that, you can't. Those who come with you can't always go with you, and I don't think he was referring to just people. I think he was referring to every aspect of your life and for me to be more specific, my life, every aspect of your life. Not everything that comes with you can go with you. You know, they're not meant to move on to the next path or the next journey or the next opportunity or whatever that may look like for you. They're not meant to go there with you. They were meant for, maybe, in this situation, a season, or they were meant to teach you something, or they were just meant to be there on the sideline and watch you grow or make it to this next level. And then, when they're ready, or they're meant to, or if they're meant to, go to that next level with you, they go with you.
Speaker 1:
So I really have been sitting back and evaluating everything in my life to determine what's beneficial to me and what's good to me and, like I mentioned, relationships are not showing that they are beneficial and would be productive in my life on this next level that I'm trying to reach.
Speaker 1:
So every day, I'm going to attempt to make a change in myself and in my life to help get me to this next level, and that whether that might be a different relationship, letting go of current relationships, whether that might be letting go of certain obligations I'm doing or you might be doing, if we're tailoring this to you, you know I'm just going to go through and reevaluate that, and so I've already determined that there are some relationships I am going to cut out of my life and so I'm in the process of doing that, and I know there's going to be some blowback and some backlash for it and from it, but I'm still standing in this judgmental free zone that I've created here on this podcast, not only for myself but for others, where I'm not going to allow that backlash to affect me in a way that would prevent me from moving forward in my growth process.
Speaker 1:
So I want you guys to do the same.
Speaker 1:
I also want you guys to take that saying that I just mentioned and use that for your self and use that to reevaluate and think about what you've got going on in your life and with your relationship with people and your obligations and things like that, and see if those things are actually beneficial to you in in your life and and I mean in your whole life, whatever that may look like, whether that's emotionally, financially, physically, whatever you feel like that looks like in your life or you need to do to remove or add to your life, you do that. This is me giving you permission to reevaluate your life. It's okay to do that. It's okay to do what's best for you and be a little selfish sometimes. Don't let the hatred and the negativity and the teardowns of this outside world destroy who you want to be or where you want to go in life. So remember, guys, if you're gonna be anything, be authentically real and true to yourself. Thank you again for all of your time, until next time. Assalamu alaikum, bye.
