But today, today, I want to give give you a message that says trying is not enough, right? I want to give you a message about trying is not enough. And I so I let me let me just say this. Let me just say this, right? I am very sensitive, right? I am very sensitive. To what people go through in life. I never, I never get on here, and this is just a disclaimer, or this is just to get for clarity if anybody needs it, right? Um, I never, I never get on here with the intention, uh, to trigger anybody. I never get on here with, with the intention to, um, look down on anybody. Um, in fact, in fact, um, I— the reason, like, if you see this shirt, it says I am greatness on display. Um, the reason why— and, and, and I'm, I'mma give y'all, I'mma give y'all some— I'mma give y'all a tip. Um, the reason why the slogan says, um, you know I am, or when I'm like, when I, when I write things on shirts, um, it's to inspire other people. It's not to really inspire myself, you know what I'm saying? To inspire other people. So I know the power of I am. And so while, while a lot of people might look at the shirt, right, um, and they might say, oh, I am greatness on display, but every time you read my shirt, you're affirming that to you. Right? Every time you read my shirt, right, I'm helping you more than it's helping me because I don't see my shirt, right? I see it now, right? But if I walk out in the world with this shirt on today, people are going to read the shirt and they're going to be affirming to themselves. So they're going to say, I am greatness on display. Oh, I like that. And then, and it's gonna, it's gonna change, it's gonna change their thought process, right? And then now, you know what I mean? So when I like, my whole goal is just to inspire, right? It's just to inspire and motivate people. Um, you know, recently, recently, um, I've had 3 separate situations, and this is, and this is a self-awarement, a self, um awareness moment, you know what I'm saying? This is a self-awareness moment. Um, I had, um, 3 situations in which, um, there were, um, somebody from— somebody I just met, right? Somebody I just met who had a, had a level of expectation from me, um, that, that I was— that I didn't understand why they would. Then I had somebody that I, um, been in business with, or, you know, somebody, somebody I've been in business with, um, you know, that I've known, you know, 2 and a half, 3 years, who had a certain expectation from me. And then I had a, then I had a person that I knew, known practically all my life, um, practically all my life, have a certain expectation of me, you know what I'm saying? And at first, because I take full responsibility, you know what I'm saying, um, I take, I take full responsibility for, um, anything that's in my space, you know what I'm saying? I take full responsibility for anything that's in my space, and so immediately I took you know I took you know full responsibility for these three situations. Rich, I'm gonna get it. I'm gonna get back at you, Rich, because because we're gonna talk about what you just said. Um, but I took full responsibility for those for those um you know for those. Situations, you know. Um, and, and, and I started asking myself, right, I started asking myself—

matter of fact, this what we gonna do.

Um, so, so I, I took, I took responsibility, you know what I'm saying? Like, I took responsibility for those 3 situations, you know what I'm saying? Um, and every time something happens in my life, and I, I suggest everybody do the same, Anytime something happens in your life, do not blame the other person for what happened, or don't like don't look outside of yourself for the things that have happened, right? Like look within yourself. And so for me, you know, I was looking. I was looking. I was looking within myself, and I was asking myself, like why are these things happening? Like, why, why is it that there is a, um, a, a theme, you know what I'm saying? There is a theme, um, where people are, um, misrepresenting or, or, or, uh, wanting, you know what I'm saying, like wanting more, um, they're wanting things that I, that I didn't even promise, you know what I'm saying? Like, they're wanting things that I didn't promise in there. interpreting things in, in ways. Um, and I think God, God has— God has had given me these 3 different examples, right? God has given me these 3 different examples so that I could not blame it on time, right? So God gave me an example of some— I'm like, literally, literally, I probably spent like 5, 10 minutes, maybe 10 minutes with this person, you know what I'm saying? Um, I spent 10 minutes with this person, and based on that 10 minutes, they had an expectation that was delusional, that what— that didn't even make sense, you know what I'm saying? Um, and then I had another situation where, you know, somebody that I, that I've known, uh, for, for almost like 2 and a half years had an expectation that to me did not make sense, you know what I'm saying? And then I had somebody that I practically known for all my life, and they had an expectation that practically didn't make sense. So I asked myself Like, damn, God, like, what are you trying to teach me, you know? And I realized that God was trying to teach me that trying is not enough, right? Trying is not enough. And why do I say that? Because nothing— and I want you all to understand this— nothing could be in your presence, right? Nothing could be in your presence That that you are not, right? And so if you see a hater, you're a hater. If you see a user, then you're a user. I just I'm just telling you that. You know what I'm saying? And what I said was these people, right? These people had these expectations of me, right? They had these expectations of me. Right, whether somebody new, somebody that I knew a little while, somebody I know all my life, they all had these expectations of me. And I said to myself, right, like, they all believed that I was the answer to something for them. So catch where I'm going. They all believed that I was the answer To something for them, and so they got disappointed when when or I mean not even disappointed because I think only one got disappointed, right? One got disappointed that I wasn't the answer, and I'll never be the answer. Another one, you know, just didn't realize, you know, you know, didn't realize what expectations was being put on, and the other one. Just didn't you know get a reply, but they you know they must have known. I mean maybe they don't right. But I say all this to say that I started to to to assess myself, and I started asking myself, am I putting expectations on other people? Right. Am I like like in what areas of my life am I depending on people more than I'm than I'm trusting the source, more than I'm trusting God, right? And there were a lot, right? There were a lot of situations that I was like, man, the reason why these people were expecting something of me was because I was expecting something of other people, and I wasn't trusting the source. Um, you know, I haven't— I had a situation recently, actually, you know what I'm saying? Um, you know, I had a, um, you know, I had a situation. Jimmy, what up, Jimmy? Um, you know, I had a situation where, um, you know, I was, was in a process of, of, of, of— I'll tell you, I was in the process of buying property. You know what I'm saying? Um, you know, I was, I was in the process of buying property and everything was, everything was fine, you know what I'm saying? Like, I had the money, everything was fine, everything was fine. But, um, the seller was being very, um, you know, the seller was being, um difficult, you know what I'm saying?

And they—

and there could be reasons why the seller was being difficult. And so I got to a point where I started getting frustrated, you know what I'm saying? I started getting frustrated because, um, this is a dream property. Like, it's a dream property, uh, if, if I ever get it in real life, I'll show y'all what I, what I mean, you know what I'm saying? But it was a dream property, um, something that is actually on my vision board. Um, you know, I realized it recently. You know, I took my vision board off, but I was looking at my vision board and this property was actually on my vision board. Um, and you know, I was like, man, you know, why is this person being so difficult? Um, and then I found myself being anxious. I felt— I found myself being anxious, like I was at the— like I felt like I was at the mercy of The seller. I was at the mercy of, um, the bank who, you know, was going to finance it. Um, you know, I, I just felt like I was at the mercy, and, uh, it didn't feel right. It felt bad. Uh, and I, and I had these expectations. I had the expectations of the seller. I had the expectation of the, the bank. I had the expectation of my broker. You know what I'm saying? I had all these expectations. And I was not tapping into the source, right? Because God is the best planner, right? God is the best planner. So if God is the best planner, then I need to just set my intentions and let God do the rest. Not, not, not depend on anybody, right? Not depend on anybody. And What I thought was, um, I would do— I would do enough, right? I would do enough that the seller would realize I'm serious, that the bank would realize that they should give me— like, like, they should give me this, this loan and, and give me exactly what I'm asking for. That, right? I had all these expectations because I felt like, yo, I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm doing everything I need to do. Why isn't this happening, right? Because I'm too attached to it, I'm too attached to the outcome, right. I'm too attached to the outcome. And so, trying is not enough, you know. It is important that as you are setting your intentions that you stop trying to make things happen and you just simply allow yourself to be in energetic alignment with that thing. The moment that you are in energetic alignment with that thing, that thing will be yours, period. There's no other way. Stop trying. Set your intentions and let God do the rest. Set your intentions and let God do the rest. Detach from everything. Detach from everything. Let me let Wayne Dyer talk to you.

First principle says, as Talofa put it, have a mind that is open to everything, open to everything, and attached to nothing, and attached to nothing. One of the central principles of my life is that no one knows enough.

Peace, peace.

About anything, and that each and every one of us, Oscar, when we close our mind. To what is possible for us.

Close your mind to what's possible.

Humanity closes off—

It closes it off.

Genius that resides and lives in each and every one of us.

Yep.

But a mind that is open to everything—

A mind that's open to everything.

Is a mind that says, I'm never looking for anything to be offended by, and that whatever anybody else out there has to say, my response to that is That's an interesting point of view.

That's an interesting point.

I've never considered that.

Never considered that before.

Things that, uh, that Emerson said is in one of his very first essays. He says, the first thing we have to say respecting what are called new views here in New England, where we are right now, is that they are not new, but the very oldest of thoughts cast into the mold of these new times. Progress is impossible if you always do things the way you've always done things. But the other word in this—

wait, hold on, I'm gonna let it rock.

Be attached nowhere.

Be attached nowhere, y'all.

Nowhere. Attachment really means I am deluding myself into a belief that if I can't have or if I can't do this or that thing, then somehow I am going to become immobilized. So an open mind that is detached. In one of, uh, in my most recent book, A Spiritual Solution to Every Problem, I have a, um, an observation, and it's, uh, an observation from Anthony de Mello, a man I respect enormously, a priest who, um, in The Way to Love puts it this way. Here's a great test for your relationships, especially the relationships that you're in, uh, with those whom you love, not your children, but your spouses and your lovers and so on. Try this test on for size. One, I am not really attached to you at all. I am merely deluding myself into the belief that without you I will not be happy.

Hold on for a second. Hold on for one second.

First principle says—

hold on for a second because I, because I need, I need y'all to understand that in the relationships that you have right now, right, whether it's your significant other All right. If you're looking for happiness within your significant other, you are deluding yourself. And you have allowed yourself to believe that without that person, you're not going to be happy, right. You're deluding yourself. In your business relationships, in any relationship, if there is a dependency on somebody else, You are deluding yourself. Let me rewind that back one more time.

Sorry, y'all.

As Talofa put it, yo, Cassie, Cassie's bars. Stop playing.

Open to everything.

Be open to everything and attached, attached to nothing.

One of the central principles of my life is that no one knows enough to be a pessimist about anything, and that each and every one of us When we close our mind to what is possible for us or what is possible for humanity, closes off the genius that resides and lives in each and every one of us. But a mind that is open to everything and attached to nothing is a mind that says, I'm never looking for anything to be offended by. Never looking to anybody else out there has to say My response to that is, that's an interesting point of view. I've never considered that before. Things that Emerson said is in one of his very first essays, he says, the first thing we have to say respecting what are called new views here in New England, where we are right now, is that they are not new, but the very oldest of thoughts cast into the mold of these new times. Progress is impossible if you always do things the way you've always done things. But the other word in this, what Talopa said, is be attached nowhere.

Attached nowhere.

Attachment really means I am deluding myself into a belief that if I can't have, or if I can't do this or that thing, then somehow I am going to become immobilized. So an open mind that is detached. In one of, uh, in my most recent book, A Spiritual Solution to Every Problem, I have a, um, an observation, and it's, uh, an observation from Anthony de Mello, a man I respect enormously, a priest who, um, in The Way to Love puts it this way. Here's a great test for your relationships, especially the relationships that you're in, uh, with those whom you love— not your children, but your spouses and your lovers and so on. Try this test on for size. 1, I am not really attached to you at all. I am merely deluding myself into the belief that without you—

Wow, what up, Quell?

I will not be happy. And 2, and here's the toughest test for non-attachment, I leave you free to be yourself, to think your thoughts, indulge your tastes, Follow your inclination. Behave in ways that you decide are to your liking. Most of us do in our relationships, and why they are not as successful as we would like them to be is that we become attached and we tell ourselves that if this person behaves in a way that I find offensive, then I can't be happy. I make my happiness, my fulfillment dependent upon those people that I love being what I think that they should be. And detachment doesn't mean being a victim. It just simply means I know that I can make my life fulfilled and happy by having a mind that is open to everything.

Open to everything.

And attached nowhere.

Attached nowhere.

The second principle is a very simple principle. It says you can't give away what you don't have.

You can't give away what you don't have.

Now, it sounds ridiculous, okay, but it's more than what meets the ear as you hear this. You can't give away what you don't have. People who are not good at giving away love can't give away love because They don't have it to give away. If I want to give you a dozen oranges, I can't give you those dozen oranges unless I go out and pick up 12 oranges someplace. Otherwise, all it is is just empty rhetoric. And the same thing is true of virtually everything in your life. You can't give away love for others if you don't have love in here to give away. Can't give what you don't have. If what you have in here is contempt, if what you have in here is anger, if what you have in here is fear, then these are the things you're going to be giving away in your life. Look, there's a law, sort of—

Wait, hold on, let me, let me, let me stop you though, right? You can't give away something that you don't have, right? And the truth— oh my God, don't miss this, y'all. This is all about self-reflection. I want you to self-reflect. I want you to self-reflect. Right, everybody asking about about this. You gotta become a member of the abundance community. All of these tracks are in the abundance community, abundancecommunity.org. I'll put it. I'll put it right here. www.abundancecommunity.org. Join the abundance community, right?

AbundanceCommunity.org.

Hold on, and the link is in my bio. Um, hold on for a second, right? So here's the thing, I don't want y'all to miss this. This is about self-reflection. You cannot give, right? You cannot give what you don't have. And so if, if you don't have love, right, if you don't have love, then you can't give love. You may think— look, a lot of us think we're giving love, but in fact, we're not giving love. I don't know who needs to hear this, but a lot of us think that we're giving people love when what we might be really giving is pressure. What we might be really giving is stress. What we might be giving is a false sense of expectation.

Right?

And then a lot of times we wonder why these things are coming back to us. That's because you can only get what you give. So you can— you, you can't give what you don't have, but you only get what you give, right? So, so what am I saying? I'm saying that if you're receiving hate That means you're giving hate. If you're receiving expectations, that means you're expecting things of people, right? If you're receiving jealousy, that's because secretly you're jealous. That means secretly you're jealous. Yo, just because somebody— you are— just because you say something in your head and you don't say it outwardly, God sees it all. God sees it all. And so you might be looking at that person and be like, oh, they a hater, uh, because they're, they're verbally saying it. What makes it different if you are hating on this person over here but you just don't verbally say it? When you see that person over there, you, ah, what up, what up, you good? Ah, nah, you will, you will always get what you give. Whether you— whether you giving it in the front or in your head, right. God sees it all. So, a lot of us are wondering why our life is a certain way, right. A lot of us are wondering why are things coming to us. Yo, I ain't going to lie to you, when these 3 situations were happening and they were happening simultaneously, and the reason why they happened so fast is because I'm highly attuned, right. I do my meditation, I ask God certain questions, and I get the answer almost immediately, right. And the reason why— I'll be honest with you, I was getting upset at them. I'm like, yo, like, what makes this person think that I just had a conversation with you 10 minutes? What makes this person think— why does this person have this expectation of me? This is ridiculous. I was mad at this person. This other person that that that I've been you know working with for two and a half years, I'm like yo why does this person have this expectation of me? This person is bugging. Then this person that I knew almost all my life, I say yo why does this person have this expectation of me? That person's bugging. But I said to myself though, I'm telling y'all, I'm saying this is self-reflective. So, so what I want for you, what I want for myself, I want for you, right? And so, and so that's why I'm putting all my business out there. I put myself on Front Street. I looked and said I was looking at them that they was bugging, but I'm look— but, but after deep reflection, I'm looking at myself like I'm bugging. Because it's not possible, hear what I'm saying? It's not possible to receive something that you don't give in one shape, form, or another. It is not possible for you to receive something that you don't give. And so, I had to evaluate my life, right. I had to evaluate my life and ask myself in what areas? Why, right? In what areas am I expecting something of somebody, whether I say it out loud or not, right? Whether I say it out loud or not, in what areas am I expecting something from somebody, right? And putting pressure on them and making them like, like, whether I say it or not. You know, that energy of expectation is also real, right? So I had a— I'm not gonna lie to you, I, I was able to pinpoint at least 2 situations in which I never said nothing though. I had these expectations of people, I never said nothing, but my energy of expectation is probably felt. And so I had to realize, damn, Ash, you need to change that, right? You need to give unconditional love. You need to be real. You need to stop pretending like you don't have an agenda, you know what I'm saying? And so I had to detach myself from everything. I had to detach myself And I had to stop trusting the people, right? I had to stop trusting the people and start trusting God, the source, because God is always going to— like, like, God is always going to position me in where I need to be. And if I give unconditional love, then I'll get unconditional love back, right? That's the problem. I have conditions on love, I have conditions on certain relationships, and because I have conditions, other people have conditions. And so, I had to stop putting expectations on anybody, right, which goes back to my original message. You got to stop trying, trying is not enough. You got to stop trying. Trying is not enough. All you have to do is be in energetic alignment with the thing that you desire, and you— the thing that you would desire will be yours. That's it. You, you don't have to try, right? And here's the deal: you don't have to try to get love from people, because if you give unconditional love Then this it. There's the only thing that will happen is that you get unconditional love. That's it. You don't have to try to get love. You don't have to try. All you gotta do is be. It always goes back to that. All you gotta do is be. If you want unconditional love, all you gotta do is be an unconditional love giver. If that's what you desire, if you desire a certain level of wealth in your life, all you have to be, all you have to do is be the person that is energetically aligned. With that level of wealth, a law in the universe.

I call it the law of attraction.

Law of attraction, y'all.

Attraction is one that works like this.

Yep.

You get back from the universe, from the world, what it is that you put out there.

D-Hop, what up, my G? You get back from the world what you put out there.

Out there into the world. that I am not worthy of attracting something beautiful into my life, that the universe will respond back to you with exactly that message. The ocean of abundance is there, and you can go to that ocean of abundance and you can take a Mack truck and you can fill it up 20 times a day.

The ocean of abundance is there.

Take it out of there And guess what? It doesn't impact at all.

It doesn't impact.

The ocean of abundance.

The ocean of abundance.

Doesn't even go down a zillionth of an inch.

Nope.

Unlimited. Unlimited.

Or you can go to the same ocean of abundance with an eyedropper, and you can just take this much out once a month and say, that's all that seems to be available for me. And the interesting thing for me is that when people go to this ocean of abundance This, uh, unlimited world. All that I have is thine, it says in the holy books. All that I have is thine. It's all there for you. But if you believe inside that it's limited, that you can only get so much, that other people are going to get it before you do, then you'll find yourself creating that very same thing.

Creating that.

And the even more interesting part about this, you can't give away what you don't have principle, Is that if your message to the universe is gimme, gimme, gimme—

Okay, don't you miss this.

People's message to the universe: I want this from you, I want that from you, please give me this, I have to have that. That's what their prayer is like, that's what their message is, you know. And they say, I want this from the universe, gimme, gimme, gimme. The universe's response back to that kind of a mentality is exactly the same. The universe will say right back to you over and over again, Give me, give me, give me.

Yo, don't miss this bar, y'all. Look, a lot of y'all— look, look, don't miss this bar. A lot of us are going to God, going to the Most High, going to the universe, whatever you call your higher power. A lot of us are going to God and saying, give me Give me, give me. And because you are going to God saying, give me, give me, give me, God is saying to you, give me, give me, give me. Why do you think that when they say to much is given, much is required? Why you think that? Because you're not, you're not allowing yourself to be in energetic alignment You are not allowing yourself to be in energetic alignment with the things that you desire. What you are doing is you're you're like, hey, give me, give me, give me. And because you are always asking, then you can only get the law of attraction. You can only get what you give. So if you're asking, give me, give me, give me. Then the universe is going to be asking back, give me, give me, give me. And so the goal is not to be an asker, right? Wait, you know what? Let me, let me, let me, let me, let, let me let Wayne Dyer tell you the rest.

Hold on.

And you'll find yourself never ever arriving.

Never ever arriving. He's always asking.

Always feeling as if you're being neglected. Never feeling as if you have enough. Always feeling as if you're being shortchanged because you're constantly under the pressure to give, to get back what the universe is demanding from you. And the interesting thing about all of this, the irony of this, is that if you shift that, if you shift it and you say to the universe, to the world, how may I serve?

How may I serve?

How may I serve? The universe's response back to you is How may I serve you? Bars! How may I serve you?

Hold on, hold on, hold on. If you, instead of saying gimme, gimme, gimme, if now your question now is not gimme, gimme, gimme, so that way the universe is saying gimme, gimme, gimme right back, what if you said God, how can I serve you? How can I serve you? How may I serve you? How may I serve you? And now the universe asks back, how may I serve you, man?

Yeah, so I shifted that energy off of What can I have?

Yep.

Into what can I give? It seemed to me that the universe responded back with the very same message.

What can I give to you? What can I give to you, my son?

And the most incredible and wonderful, beautiful abundance—

My daughter.

My child.

—has flowed into my life in every way that I can possibly think of. You can't give away what you don't have.

You can't give away what you don't have.

So take a look at an inventory of what you do have. How much do you love yourself? How much do you love yourself? How much kindness do you have?

How much kindness do you have?

How much peace do you have in you?

Yep.

How much joy do you have in you?

Yeah.

And if you're able to give that away as many times as you can in a given day, watch and see how much more of that continues to show up and come back in your life. The 3rd principle is one of my very favorites.

All right, that's it.

It's called there are no justified No justified resentment, y'all. What kind of, uh, anger comes directed towards you, no matter how much hate you may encounter showing up in your life, there are no justified resentments. Meaning that if you carry around resentment inside of you about anything or about anyone, and I'm talking about the person that you lent money to and hasn't paid you back, I'm talking about the person in your life that you feel was abusive in your life. I'm talking about the person who walked out on you and left you for somebody else. I'm talking about all of the things that you have justified in your heart—

No, it doesn't represent—

That you have the right to be resentful about. And I'm suggesting to you that those resentments will always end up Harming you. You— no one ever dies from a snakebite. The snakebite will never kill you. You cannot be unbitten. Once you're bitten, you're bitten. But it's the venom that continues to pour through your system after the bite that will end up destroying you. If you become steadfast In your abstentions of thoughts of harm directed towards others, all living creatures will cease to feel enmity in your presence.

You are now tapped in and tuned in. Mindrightradio.com. Um. So that's um, that's that's Wayne Die.

Um, first principle says, as Talofa put it, have a mind that is open to everything.

Open to everything. That's your message for today.

And attached to nothing.

Your message today is to, you know, stop trying.

Be open to everything. Knows enough to be a pessimist.

About anything.

And that each and every one of us, when we close our mind to what is possible for us or what is possible for humanity, closes off the genius that resides and lives in each and every one of us. But a mind that is open to everything and attached to nothing is a mind that says, I'm never looking for anything to be offended by. And that whatever anybody else out there has to say, my response to that is, that's an interesting point of view. I've never considered that before. Things that, uh, that Emerson said is in one of his very first essays, he says the first thing we have to say respecting what are called new views here in New England, where we are right now, is that they are not new. But the very oldest of thoughts cast into the mold of these new times. Progress is impossible if you always do things the way you've always done things. But the other word in this, what Tilopa said, is be attached nowhere. Be attached nowhere. Attachment really means I am deluding myself into a belief That if I can't have, or if I can't do this or that thing, then somehow I am going to become immobilized. So an open mind that is detached. In one of, uh, in my most recent book, A Spiritual Solution to Every Problem, I have a, um, an observation, and it's, uh, an observation from Anthony de Mello, a man I respect enormously.

A priest.

Who, um, in The Way to Love puts it this way. Here's a great test for your relationships, especially the relationships that you're in, uh, with those whom you love— not your children, but your spouses and your lovers and so on. Try this test on for size. One, I am not really attached to you at all. I am merely deluding myself into the belief that without you I will not be happy. And 2, and here's the toughest test for non-attachment: I leave you free to be yourself, to think your thoughts, indulge your tastes, follow your inclinations, behave in ways that you decide are to your liking. Most of us do in our relationships, and why they are not as successful as we would like them to be is That we become attached and we tell ourselves that if this person behaves in a way that I find offensive, then I can't be happy. I make my happiness, my fulfillment dependent upon those people that I love being what I think that they should be. And detachment doesn't mean being a victim. It just simply means I know that I can make My life fulfilled and happy by having a mind that is open to everything.

Open to everything.

And attached nowhere.

Attached nowhere.

The second principle is a very simple principle. It says you can't give away what you don't have. Now it sounds ridiculous, okay, but it's more than what meets the ear as you hear this. You can't give away what you don't have. People who are not good at giving away love can't give away love because they don't have it to give away.

Don't have it to give away.

If I want to give you a dozen oranges, I can't give you those dozen oranges unless I go out and pick up 12 oranges someplace. Otherwise, all it is is just empty rhetoric. And the same thing is true of virtually everything in your life. You can't give away love for others if you don't have love in here to give away. If what you have in here is contempt, if what you have in here is anger, if what you have in here is fear, then these are the things you're going to be giving away in your life. There's a law, sort of a law in the universe. I call it the law of attraction. The law of attraction—

Peace, peace, peace. My guy Daniel Dickey in the building, salute.

You get back from the universe, from the world, what it is that you put out there.

Whatever you put out, you get back.

And if you're putting out there into the world that I am not worthy of attracting something beautiful into my life, that the universe will respond back to you with exactly that message. The ocean of abundance is there, and you can go to that ocean.

Hey, Storm, what up, my G? You can take a trifecta in the building. If you know, you know.

You can fill it up 20 times a day and take it out of there, and guess what? It doesn't impact at all the ocean of abundance. It doesn't even go down a zillionth of an inch. It's unlimited. Or you can go to the same ocean of abundance with an eyedropper, and you can just take this much out once a month and say, that's all that seems to All right, John, 9 AM, gotta go, y'all. To this ocean of abundance, this, uh, unlimited world. All that I have is thine, it says in the holy books. All that I have is thine. It's all there for you. But if you believe inside that it's limited, that you can only get so much, that other people are going to get it before you do, then you'll find yourself creating that very same All right, y'all, I gotta go, uh, you know what I'm saying?
