GEMS DROPPED

“​You ​cannot ​do ​all the ​hard ​things. ​You ​don't ​need ​to ​do ​all the hard ​things. ​There ​is ​a ​human ​limit ​on ​your ​life, ​okay? ​There ​are ​human ​limitations, ​and ​we ​can ​push past ​many ​of ​those ​limitations. ​I ​understand ​the ​capacity ​of ​my ​woman.  ​Like, ​a ​lot ​of ​y'all, ​you ​know ​you're ​built ​differently. ​I ​get ​that…But ​we ​also ​cannot ​disregard ​our ​very ​human, ​physical, ​spiritual, ​emotional ​existence, ​and ​try ​to ​step ​past ​it ​and ​think ​that ​there ​will ​be ​no ​consequences, ​because ​there ​will.”

“Let's ​be ​clear, ​the ​capitalist ​society ​that ​we ​are ​enshrouded ​in ​that ​surrounds ​all ​of ​this, ​that ​drives ​a ​lot ​of ​the ​unnecessary ​pressures ​that ​we place ​on ​ourselves.and ​these ​patterns, ​rhythms ​and ​the ​pace ​that ​we ​are ​all ​pushed ​into. We ​can ​never, ​never ​erase ​that ​context ​from ​the ​conversation. ​But what ​I ​want ​to ​speak ​about ​today ​is ​where ​you ​still ​have ​some ​agency ​and ​power. ​You ​still ​have ​quite ​a ​bit ​of ​agency ​and ​power to ​shift, ​to ​make ​a ​10x ​choice, ​to ​make ​a ​shift ​where ​you're ​not ​just ​doing ​a ​few ​things ​differently ​or ​trying ​to ​double ​your ​output ​in ​your ​doing, ​but ​that ​you ​get ​to ​become, ​that ​you ​shift ​the ​being ​of ​it ​all.”

“The ​environment, ​the ​relationships, ​the ​structure,  the ​guidance--those ​things ​allow ​for ​a ​new ​self ​concept ​to ​emerge. ​It ​is ​one ​of ​the ​most ​powerful ​things ​that ​we ​can ​create ​space ​for ​in ​our ​lives. ​Because ​again, ​the ​situation ​that ​you ​are ​thinking ​about ​with ​what's ​the ​next ​phase ​of ​my ​career ​and ​how ​am ​I ​going ​to ​hold ​all ​of ​these ​things ​and ​what's ​going ​to ​happen ​with ​this ​or ​that? ​Like, ​those ​aren't ​the ​questions. ​The ​topic ​is ​not ​the ​topic. ​You ​are ​the ​topic. ​Okay. ​Who ​you ​consider ​yourself ​to ​be, ​how ​you ​self ​conceptualize, that ​is ​the ​topic ​at ​hand. ​That ​is ​how ​we ​can ​shift ​from 2x ​possibility, ​that's ​going ​to ​keep ​us ​overrun ​in ​old ​identities ​to ​a ​10x ​possibility ​because ​we've ​allowed ​ourselves ​to ​fundamentally ​change, ​to ​allow ​ourselves ​to ​fundamentally ​shift.”
