What's going on, guys? It's Calvé, uh, Inspiration Engineer here. I've got a message from the heart I wanted to give you today. Uh, feel free to say what's up, where you're tuning in from, uh, where you're at, where you're located. If anything resonates, uh, be sure to let me know in the comments what resonates. Uh, if this touches your heart and your spirit like it does mine, be sure to share this with people who need to hear this message. It's going to be a very a heartfelt message. Um, it's going to potentially be an emotional message, and, um, we're going to see what happens. But I'm going to talk to y'all real and just keep it 3000. So I just got news, I just got a text from my father that my cousin passed, and me and my cousin were super duper close. She was my younger cousin, she was like my little sister growing up. And just full of life, full of energy, had this beautiful, like, just, she was hilarious. Just full growing up, and we were so close. I actually told her in middle school, I was like, "I'm gonna take you to prom when we go to prom." I don't know why I made that commitment or why I said that, but I ended up, and we did go to prom together. We were just that close. And I just wanna honor her first and foremost for everything that she meant. And everything that she was and everything that we were. And like with most relationships, relationships can fall out of, you know, you're not as close in these things. But I did get a chance to see her last year. But I did just get word just a little bit that she is no longer with us. And, you know, that's between her and God. I was talking to God. I was like, I hope you brought her home. And, you know, that's that. But the main thing I want to drive home is this is why I do what I do. Mm-hmm. And why I'm so passionate and I encourage you to do what is on your heart. Because I don't believe in my heart it was a health situation. Yeah, there might have been some health things related, yes, but I think she gave up on life. I think she gave up on life because the last conversations that she and I had, it was like, you know, I hate my job, I hate my life, I hate what I'm doing, I, I don't know what I want to do with my life, I'm not really pursuing anything that's like bringing me joy. And there's such an absence and a gap of joy because so many people are not doing what they love to do, or they're not seeking out what they love to do. They're not on that path. And so for me to get that news today that she's no longer here, and I'm like, with everything that she had in her and everything that she was about and just everything that me and her used to do— like, we used to play this game of spies where we pretend like we're spies. We had these crazy imaginations doing all kinds of stuff as kids. And she would play, like, we would play these games, and she would, she would tap into imagination. And everything that she is and that she was, she took with her wherever she transitioned next, which is, which is insane to me because I know that she had a vivid imagination. I know that she had a crazy, you know, mindset and just the things that we would do as kids. And it's unfortunate that so many people do just that. Mm-hmm. They don't seek out what in life, uh, they don't seek out a life of meaning. Majority of people want— at some point in time, they make a decision that I need to make money to pay bills, I need to make money to live, so I'm going to make this settling decision and go do some shit I don't want to do. And then they become— I like what Robin Sharma says— deteriorated children. Powerful in that sense. I'm still processing the loss of my cousin. It's crazy. It's crazy to me. My friend Nicholas, if you're watching, my condolences to your friend. He just lost a friend yesterday from Orange Theory. And I know I'm usually the guy that's like full of energy and hype and excitement, and I just wanted to deliver a real message. This is why I do what I do. Because I believe that we, you and I, we are here to awaken dreamers. If you're living a life that brings you excitement and joy, then it is your duty to help other people get there, period. There's so many people in this world. 85% of the world hates their job, men and women. 85%, that's 8 out of 10 people. That's crazy. Now, is it possible that if she had something that she loved to do that brought her so much joy that she might have fought for her life? We don't know. But I'll tell you what I do know. I do know because I suffer from depression myself where I was suicidal and didn't want to be here, and there was a lot of things going on in my spirit and in my mind. It was very real to me. And so everybody's worried about their money as their metrics. I need to make a certain amount of money because I need the credibility and the vanity. It ain't about money. None of it goes anywhere with you. Yeah. You don't get to take any money with you. So everybody's chasing these false hopes. So I can be a millionaire, or I can be a billionaire, or I can be a trillionaire so I can say how much money I got. Who cares? Nobody's talking about that at your funeral. Facts. So I just wanted to just share that from the heart, and it's as real as it can be, is that if you're a person right now that's walking in purpose or trying to find purpose, I want to encourage you. I want to give you some love because you're going to be on a journey and it's going to be a fun journey. No matter how hard it gets, keep, keep working toward that purpose, figuring that out, seeking that out. If you're a person that is doing something and you're a little unsure, that's a part of it. Uncertainty is a part of it. It's a part of the process. Let that not be a discouragement. Let that nourish you that it's okay. None of us really know what we're doing. Everybody that even knows what they're doing is still learning something new every day. Yeah. And if you're in a place where you feel like, man, I've really found it, like I've really got it, like I'm in a place where I know what my purpose is, like I know what brings me joy. And for Kaveh, I love coaching, I love connecting with new people, I love playing basketball, I love making music, I love making creative content. I know what I love. And so being that that's a very blessed position to be in, a gift from God to know what you love, it is my duty, it is your duty if you found that in life for you to do the due diligence to help somebody else find that in life. And if you can do that for just one person, we can really create a massive ripple effect. Massive ripple effect. Think about that. Think about people that are going to the grave with all of these hopes and these desires and these abilities and these passions still in them. Just let your mind— close your eyes and wrap that around your head. I always talk about how my father said, you know, you can be anything you want to be, and I tell that story. The story I don't talk about as much is my dad also gave me the wisest advice he ever said. He said, make sure you live a life with no regrets. And I do everything in my power and my ability to do that. There's some things I've done that I wouldn't do again, but that's my standard. When I go before the throne, whenever that day comes, I want to say I lived a full life, and I encourage you to say I lived a full life. It's facts. And so it's just so powerful. I cannot believe that my cousin is gone. She's younger than me, she's like 34. Gone. Well, thanks, James. I appreciate it. But that's my message to you today. If you're not living a life that brings you joy, how do you tap into it? If you're walking in it and you haven't figured it out, that's normal. It's okay. Talk to people and be around people that can support you in that. That have experienced that. It's okay. And if you've found what you're to do and you're in a place where you're in a joyous state, I challenge you— I challenge you right now to figure out who you can bring under your wing. The one thing about America I do love, and I do love these two programs, is the Big Brother and Big Sisters program. So if I— I believe that every person should have a mentor and a mentee should always have someone that can help bring you up. And while somebody's bringing you up, you're bringing somebody else up. That should be the standard. And so my heart, my spirit is saddened, uh, by the news. And at the same time, I'm inspired by the news because it brought this message. So make sure that you do everything in your power because everybody thinks— I talk about this all the time— oh, I'll, I'll do X one day, I'm going to do so-and-so one day, or I'll get started on this on this day. Ray Dalio says the average entrepreneur misforecast by 1.75x. You might misforecast and you might not be here tomorrow. I don't think my cousin expected to leave here today. Today, today, today, today. You may not be here tomorrow, heaven forbid. And I hope you are here today, tomorrow, and live a long, prosperous life. But nobody knows. This is not time to procrastinate and put things off. If you got things you want to do today. Today I'm going to say a prayer. I don't normally do that a lot on these, but I'm going to say one for those that, uh, anybody wants to stick around for the prayer, you're happy to. If you're not, that's not your thing, then you can disconnect. But I'm going to go ahead and say one and let it be where it is. So you can do whatever makes you feel comfortable. That's what I'm going to do. I love you, I appreciate you, and I really, uh, want to thank you for being here. I'm very grateful for your energy. So with that said, Heavenly Father, we just come to you and we just ask for more wisdom, more condolence, more peace, more protection. Uh, watch over everybody watching this video and tap into their spirit. Um, you've got your children out here, you know who your children are, and we ask that you move through this message, through these words, and touch the right people, that you protect the right people, you awaken the right people, you you open up the right people so that they can not only find their potential and their purpose here in the natural, but then they can find you in the supernatural. Because that's all that matters is your spiritual health and finding some happiness and some joy in this life. So it's these things, Father, that we pray through your son Jesus Christ's name. Amen. Stamp it. With that, again, I love you, I appreciate you, you guys are amazing, and thank you for watching. Thank you for being here, and thank you for being you. Boost.
