00:00:23.640 --> 00:00:31.359
Masterminded Express Show with your host mar
Lennie Cruz and welcome, ladies and gentlemen,

2
00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:36.000
Welcome to one more episode of Masterminded
Experts with your host mar Lenny Cruise.

3
00:00:36.320 --> 00:00:39.960
Thank you so much for joining me
today. Like every single Sunday,

4
00:00:40.200 --> 00:00:43.960
it is beautiful out there, so
I hope you guys, as you're listening,

5
00:00:44.280 --> 00:00:49.759
you're enjoying this wonderful day. Today
we are speaking of the importance of

6
00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:57.159
adjusting and evolving through life's ups and
downs. Right, let's let's break that

7
00:00:57.200 --> 00:01:03.040
down a little bit, the importance
of evolving and adjusting, adjusting and evolving,

8
00:01:03.319 --> 00:01:07.079
and the order of that, of
course may change. You may have

9
00:01:07.159 --> 00:01:11.200
to adjust first and then evolve and
then grow. You may have to grow

10
00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:17.959
first and then adjust right depending on
what life throws at you, depending on

11
00:01:18.439 --> 00:01:25.120
the situations and circumstances that led to
that, depending upon the support or lack

12
00:01:25.159 --> 00:01:30.519
of thereof that you may have,
depending upon the energy, the times,

13
00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:36.120
the people, places and things that
surround you. You will have to of

14
00:01:36.159 --> 00:01:41.959
course have a reaction. So for
every action, there's a reaction, and

15
00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:49.079
your reaction upon these times, these
moments, these circumstances are very crucial,

16
00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:53.959
are very important because they're going to
determine how everything goes right, So it

17
00:01:55.079 --> 00:02:00.959
is important for us to be able
to adjust. What does adjust mean in

18
00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:06.920
this particular scenario or situation, or
meaning or purpose that we want to give

19
00:02:06.920 --> 00:02:15.319
it, Adjusting to life's challenges,
adjusting to lives changes. Change is inevorable

20
00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:21.439
as part of our evolution, right
as human species, as to human you

21
00:02:21.479 --> 00:02:24.599
know, species that we are.
We evolve, All species evolved. We

22
00:02:24.759 --> 00:02:32.520
change, we morph into something different, into something else, We become something

23
00:02:32.599 --> 00:02:39.919
else. Right, the humans that
we were a thousand years ago are it's

24
00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:46.439
not the same as those or the
humans are the species or the beings that

25
00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:53.840
we are today. Maybe physiologically we
are, but emotionally psychologically we're not.

26
00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:58.560
In many ways we're the same.
In many ways we're different. And why

27
00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:02.840
are we different? Because we're never
the same. We're never the same.

28
00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:08.280
You are not the same you that
you were just five minutes ago, five

29
00:03:08.360 --> 00:03:14.319
hours ago, five days ago.
You're a different you, right, The

30
00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:19.960
you that you are right this minute
has a lot to do with what has

31
00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:24.039
happened, what is happening, and
the energy, the circumstances, the people,

32
00:03:24.120 --> 00:03:30.800
places and things that surround you at
that time. Right, So it

33
00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:37.560
changes, it evolves. Change is
ineverable. So if change is ineverable,

34
00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:45.199
we have no choice but to adjust
and adopt right survival of the fittest,

35
00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:52.199
survival of those that are able to
adjust and adapt to the current environment.

36
00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:59.240
Because there's certain things that you cannot
change. Those things that you can't change,

37
00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:02.280
of course, work towards changing them
to the best of your knowledge,

38
00:04:02.479 --> 00:04:09.240
to the best of your ability,
to the best angle or route or destination

39
00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:15.960
or path that you can fathom.
Right, But most things, or a

40
00:04:15.960 --> 00:04:19.319
lot of things in our life,
we are not able to change. A

41
00:04:19.319 --> 00:04:24.040
lot of things in our life are
the way they are, and we have

42
00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:30.160
to adjust to them. We have
to shift our life, our perception,

43
00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:36.240
our perspective, our energy, our
approach, our direction, our way of

44
00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:45.959
thinking around them in order to provoke
the best results for our lives. And

45
00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:50.120
of course that's challenging. Many times
you have to act fast right. Many

46
00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:56.920
times you have to change patterns.
In order for us to make that abrupt

47
00:04:57.160 --> 00:05:00.959
change, we have to change our
patterns. We have to to change our

48
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:04.879
habits, we have to change our
lifestyle. We have to change the way

49
00:05:04.920 --> 00:05:09.519
that we look at things, and
that we have been looking at things for

50
00:05:09.560 --> 00:05:16.160
a very long time. Change is
hard. Why what makes change hard?

51
00:05:16.439 --> 00:05:23.360
Because change is exciting at the same
time, but it's hard because it requires

52
00:05:24.040 --> 00:05:30.680
an abrupt shift. Most of the
time, it requires that adjustment from our

53
00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:36.720
part than many times we do not
want to make. And that's because we

54
00:05:36.879 --> 00:05:42.800
do not like the unknown. We
don't know what's going to be on the

55
00:05:42.839 --> 00:05:46.560
other side. We don't know what's
going to happen next, and that unknown

56
00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:54.519
is something that is not taken lightly
or is not taking with open arms with

57
00:05:54.639 --> 00:06:00.439
most or foremost humans, right,
because we don't know. There's a posability

58
00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:03.759
that may be good, but there's
also a possibility that it may be not

59
00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:10.959
so good. And that's the fear
that we most of the time have and

60
00:06:11.160 --> 00:06:15.560
carry as it pertains to change.
However, we must look at the reality

61
00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:24.160
of life that life does change.
Time does change, people do change,

62
00:06:24.439 --> 00:06:32.040
circumstances do change. We change as
species, right, So we have to

63
00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:38.560
keep that into consideration. And where
we're talking about evolving through life's ups and

64
00:06:38.680 --> 00:06:44.279
downs, we are talking about those
things that are inevorable, those things that

65
00:06:44.360 --> 00:06:49.319
you cannot do anything about. Those
things. There is no point for you

66
00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:57.120
to fight against a wall, to
push against a wall that would be pushing

67
00:06:57.160 --> 00:07:02.279
against a wall because you cannot change
it. You have to dance around it.

68
00:07:02.360 --> 00:07:06.560
You have to find a way to
adjust to it to have it work

69
00:07:06.680 --> 00:07:13.000
for you instead of you working for
it, whatever that it may be,

70
00:07:13.800 --> 00:07:19.360
or it taking you down or bringing
you down. It requires thinking, It

71
00:07:19.399 --> 00:07:26.959
requires introspection. It requires for you
to know yourself. It requires for you

72
00:07:27.040 --> 00:07:31.720
to understand and be realistic of where
you are right now in your point of

73
00:07:31.759 --> 00:07:36.480
life. Where are you right now
in life? Are you going through a

74
00:07:36.600 --> 00:07:43.399
very difficult time and you know in
space of your life where you're suffering or

75
00:07:43.480 --> 00:07:47.639
you're in pain? Are you understanding
that this is just a season. But

76
00:07:47.759 --> 00:07:51.199
what season are you? Are you
in winter? Are you in spring?

77
00:07:51.279 --> 00:07:56.959
Are you in summer? Are you
in fall? Right? Jim Rohne,

78
00:07:57.360 --> 00:08:01.319
who is one of oh my god, my favorite speak years of old times.

79
00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:05.600
Of course he's not around us anymore, but he did leave his treasure

80
00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:09.920
of information so we can enjoy.
And there is so much that he has

81
00:08:09.959 --> 00:08:18.000
to say about the different seasons of
life, right about the evolution that we

82
00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:26.079
go through as a human being from
birth, from before birth, right right

83
00:08:26.120 --> 00:08:31.679
from when we are at our mother's
stummy, and from birth and then from

84
00:08:31.799 --> 00:08:41.600
childhood to adulthood to already growing old
of old age. It is a transition,

85
00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:48.200
right, and every step of the
way it is a transition. And

86
00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:54.519
every phase, every transition has a
different requirement, has a different mindset that

87
00:08:54.639 --> 00:09:00.840
it needs for you to have,
has a different skill set that you will

88
00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:09.200
need in order to not only survive
but thrive in that And within every single

89
00:09:09.320 --> 00:09:16.679
phase there are ups and downs,
right, And within every ups and downs,

90
00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:20.120
there are ups and downs. I
mean, it goes deep. The

91
00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:24.559
rabbit hole goes deep. Okay,
so let's go down that rabbit hole for

92
00:09:24.600 --> 00:09:31.919
a minute and understand that every circumstance
is a part of an unfolding event,

93
00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:39.799
and that unfolding event in your life
is a phase, and that phase is

94
00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:46.559
a part of a particular area of
your life or season, if you will,

95
00:09:46.600 --> 00:09:50.159
of your life, and that particular
season is not forever. It is

96
00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:58.559
transition tory. It transitions, right, It revolves, but it all revolves

97
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:09.960
around your evolution, your growth,
your change. It all does because everything

98
00:10:09.080 --> 00:10:13.600
changes. We change, the earth
change, the environment change, the energy

99
00:10:13.720 --> 00:10:20.679
changes, the vibration changes, the
people, places and things change that are

100
00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:28.080
around us, right, And that
culminates with who everything that happens culminates with

101
00:10:28.120 --> 00:10:31.240
who you are today. So at
the end of the day, when we

102
00:10:31.279 --> 00:10:37.200
look back in retrospect in our lives
and we see those troubling times, for

103
00:10:37.240 --> 00:10:43.879
example, I can name the COVID
situation in area and time and phase of

104
00:10:43.879 --> 00:10:46.879
our life. I mean, we
can all do that, right, because

105
00:10:46.919 --> 00:10:52.240
COVID changed all of our lives.
Literally, all the whole globe was changed

106
00:10:52.279 --> 00:10:58.399
by this event. Life itself was
changed by this event. So when we

107
00:10:58.480 --> 00:11:03.320
look at it, I particularly when
I look at it, I am here

108
00:11:03.399 --> 00:11:05.200
speaking to you, right in front
of you, in this space, in

109
00:11:05.200 --> 00:11:15.120
this studio, in this particular business
and project, because COVID happened to me,

110
00:11:15.960 --> 00:11:20.480
like it happened to all of us, and my reaction to COVID was

111
00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:30.600
creating this right. So therefore every
aspect everything that happens to us in life

112
00:11:31.159 --> 00:11:35.759
has an effect, and that effect
has to do with how you manage it,

113
00:11:35.879 --> 00:11:41.559
how you evolve. Who you become, like Jim Ron speaks about,

114
00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:48.039
is not where you work, what
you do, is who you are becoming

115
00:11:48.639 --> 00:11:56.240
while you're doing what you do.
Who are you becoming? Right, And

116
00:11:56.320 --> 00:12:01.440
now I'm not talking about the little
splashes here and there of the downfalls that

117
00:12:01.519 --> 00:12:07.159
are momentary or the up that are
momentary. Right, I'm talking about the

118
00:12:07.240 --> 00:12:13.519
foundation. There is always a floor, a foundation laid out upon your life

119
00:12:15.080 --> 00:12:18.759
in which things and circumstances bounce back
up and down, up and down,

120
00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:26.720
up and down. But if that
foundation is firm, is strong with your

121
00:12:26.879 --> 00:12:33.279
core values and ethics, that internal
compass that I often talk about, then

122
00:12:33.399 --> 00:12:37.600
yes you're going to follow, but
you're gonna bounce back up depending upon that

123
00:12:37.799 --> 00:12:45.759
compass, depending upon that foundation you
build upon, depending upon the path that

124
00:12:45.879 --> 00:12:54.600
you took while you decided, right, the decisions you made while evolving.

125
00:12:56.840 --> 00:13:01.120
Because evolution is for everyone, whether
we like it or not, changes for

126
00:13:01.200 --> 00:13:07.480
everyone, whether we like it or
not. Is what you do with That's

127
00:13:07.519 --> 00:13:11.600
how you handle that, is what
you do with the pain, the struggles,

128
00:13:11.639 --> 00:13:18.279
the crushing moments of that change.
Let's think for a second. Nature

129
00:13:18.360 --> 00:13:24.679
has such a beautiful way of showing
us life's truths. Right, Let's look

130
00:13:24.679 --> 00:13:31.600
at the butterfly, for example,
how the caterpillar turns into a butterfly in

131
00:13:31.720 --> 00:13:41.440
all the stages in between. Do
you imagine the pain that that caterpillar must

132
00:13:41.480 --> 00:13:46.159
have gone through inside of that cocoon
to come out as a beautiful butterfly.

133
00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:52.600
Do you imagine the change, the
transition, the pain, the struggles,

134
00:13:54.000 --> 00:14:01.000
the the you know, eminent kind
of cutthroat changes that that animal, that

135
00:14:01.080 --> 00:14:09.720
insect have to go through in order
to become literally a different animal, a

136
00:14:09.879 --> 00:14:16.039
different being, right, and it
happens right before our eyes. In nature.

137
00:14:18.320 --> 00:14:24.320
Let's let's take a look at,
for example, the chameleons. A

138
00:14:24.440 --> 00:14:33.000
chameleon changes colors based on its environment
to blend right. So we all as

139
00:14:33.080 --> 00:14:39.519
species, we all have our own
defense mechanism. We all have our own

140
00:14:39.960 --> 00:14:43.679
good and bad and ups and downs, and things that will help us and

141
00:14:43.759 --> 00:14:46.559
shield us, and things that would
give us away and not help us so

142
00:14:46.639 --> 00:14:54.519
much. So we have to know
ourselves right, and not only as a

143
00:14:54.679 --> 00:15:00.200
conglomerant as a human species, but
we have to know ourselves individually. How

144
00:15:00.200 --> 00:15:03.000
do we react to things? What
is our pros and cons what is our

145
00:15:03.080 --> 00:15:07.440
highs and lows? What is our
good and bad? Because we know we

146
00:15:07.480 --> 00:15:13.519
all have them. That person that
points the finger and criticizes you may have

147
00:15:13.639 --> 00:15:18.720
a lot more going on than you
do. Right. It's a matter of

148
00:15:18.879 --> 00:15:30.480
understanding where we are right now in
life, what stages we are, what

149
00:15:30.519 --> 00:15:35.559
we need for our next stage,
or at least if you do not know

150
00:15:35.679 --> 00:15:37.720
what's going on. Because at the
end of the day, we don't know

151
00:15:37.960 --> 00:15:46.000
exactly for sure what is next.
We can only try to position ourselves in

152
00:15:46.039 --> 00:15:54.559
such a way that what is next
is better better. But that requires action,

153
00:15:56.159 --> 00:16:04.799
that requires introspection, that requires understanding
and knowledge, that requires planning right,

154
00:16:06.519 --> 00:16:08.639
That requires to have a vision,
to have a purpose, to have

155
00:16:08.759 --> 00:16:12.320
a path, to have an angle, to have an internal compass. That

156
00:16:12.440 --> 00:16:18.799
would be your foundation, your firm
foundation. I thank god I have a

157
00:16:18.840 --> 00:16:29.240
firm foundation upon the persistence that I
have the deep, deeply rooted persistence,

158
00:16:29.559 --> 00:16:37.879
perseverance, vision that I have that
allows me to bounce back after the difficult

159
00:16:37.000 --> 00:16:44.000
changes in my life. That I
have seen the evidence in my life,

160
00:16:44.600 --> 00:16:48.840
and so can you, and I'm
sure so have you in your very own

161
00:16:48.879 --> 00:16:56.840
way. How go back to those
moments? How have you evolved in transition

162
00:16:56.120 --> 00:17:03.240
from one phase of your life to
another phase? And how have you evolved

163
00:17:03.240 --> 00:17:10.440
and transitioned within that phase from the
circumstances and the ups and downs that happen

164
00:17:10.680 --> 00:17:18.400
in that phase. Because I assure
you every level that you go, either

165
00:17:18.599 --> 00:17:23.480
up or down, every single level
is going to have its own challenges is

166
00:17:23.519 --> 00:17:29.880
going to have its own set of
ups and downs. This is a never

167
00:17:30.240 --> 00:17:37.680
ending race to where to where to
the destination you choose, because at the

168
00:17:37.799 --> 00:17:45.839
end of the day, a lot
of life that happens to us that we

169
00:17:45.960 --> 00:17:49.960
have those things that we have no
control over. What we do have control

170
00:17:51.039 --> 00:17:56.359
over is what direction we take that
towards right, how we evolve and adjust

171
00:17:56.640 --> 00:18:03.160
to that. I'm not talking to
him speaking about those times where you do

172
00:18:03.319 --> 00:18:08.599
cry, where you do feel pain, where you do touch. You know,

173
00:18:08.880 --> 00:18:12.960
just with your vision and your eyes, you touch and you envision that

174
00:18:14.079 --> 00:18:17.119
rose and you touch it, and
you go and you feel the thorns.

175
00:18:18.920 --> 00:18:22.920
Just the other day, I was
walking and I have a tendency to pick

176
00:18:23.000 --> 00:18:27.160
flowers and pick a flower and just
give it to my daughter when I'm outside

177
00:18:27.160 --> 00:18:33.960
with her. And I was looking
at a beautiful red rose and I wanted

178
00:18:33.039 --> 00:18:37.359
to go ahead and pick it for
her. And while I was picking it,

179
00:18:37.640 --> 00:18:41.079
I came by and I felt a
thorn. I was like ouch.

180
00:18:41.079 --> 00:18:48.240
Right Immediately, for some reason,
it reminded me a life of life itself,

181
00:18:48.279 --> 00:18:55.960
where there's so much beauty, there's
so much depth and color and just

182
00:18:56.279 --> 00:19:03.079
so much richness involved in life.
It's self. But there are thorns,

183
00:19:03.200 --> 00:19:07.599
and at the end of the day, that thorn that you came across was

184
00:19:07.720 --> 00:19:14.359
something or someone else's protection. Right, If you look at it that way,

185
00:19:14.599 --> 00:19:19.440
that flower is a living being,
is a thing. It's a living

186
00:19:19.599 --> 00:19:26.680
being, right. It lives,
it grows, and it wants to continue

187
00:19:26.799 --> 00:19:34.079
to live. And since it wants
to continue to live, it's protection mechanism

188
00:19:34.400 --> 00:19:42.279
is that thorn. So when you
go through life and you reach certain certain

189
00:19:42.640 --> 00:19:48.839
stop, certain rocks on the way, certain certain thorn, certain pains,

190
00:19:48.319 --> 00:19:57.359
you can also consider and start to
think about where is that thorn coming from?

191
00:19:57.559 --> 00:20:03.119
Is that a protection mechanism put in
place by someone else or something else?

192
00:20:03.200 --> 00:20:08.799
Right? How can I protect myself
from that protection mechanism of that thing

193
00:20:08.920 --> 00:20:15.680
or person? How am I putting
my you know, kind of boundaries,

194
00:20:15.680 --> 00:20:21.119
setting my boundaries in such a way
where I don't close myself completely to the

195
00:20:21.200 --> 00:20:25.240
beauty of life, but I don't
allow other people's thorns or other places and

196
00:20:25.359 --> 00:20:30.519
things thorns to affect me, to
hurt me. How do I put that

197
00:20:30.599 --> 00:20:36.200
in place? Some people are going
to be upset by that. Some people

198
00:20:36.240 --> 00:20:40.200
are going to be bothered, But
at the end of the day, you

199
00:20:40.720 --> 00:20:47.839
have to do what is right for
you without hurting anyone. You have to

200
00:20:47.880 --> 00:20:55.160
do what is right for you right, So you protect yourself. You protect

201
00:20:55.160 --> 00:20:59.359
your life, You protect your energy, You protect your vibration, you protect

202
00:20:59.359 --> 00:21:07.680
your ideas, you protect your adjustment
to life, because as life is changing,

203
00:21:08.119 --> 00:21:15.960
life will show you where is danger
either by pain through pain. Right.

204
00:21:17.200 --> 00:21:22.279
That is, ladies and gentlemen,
the purpose a pain. When we

205
00:21:22.359 --> 00:21:26.680
have a toothache and it hurts,
what do we have to do? Go

206
00:21:26.839 --> 00:21:32.160
to the dentist. That means that
our body is telling us listen, pay

207
00:21:32.200 --> 00:21:38.000
attention, get that solved. Right. The same thing with life itself,

208
00:21:38.880 --> 00:21:42.440
same thing with life itself. Pain
is a way, discomfort is a way.

209
00:21:42.599 --> 00:21:48.240
Challenges are a way of life telling
you. We need to pay attention

210
00:21:48.319 --> 00:21:52.160
to this. So do pay attention
to it in your own way, with

211
00:21:52.279 --> 00:21:57.200
your own resources, the best way
you can, the best way you can,

212
00:21:57.279 --> 00:22:00.759
because at the end of the day, that is all we can do.

213
00:22:00.839 --> 00:22:04.039
We can do our best, and
when you're able to expand upon that

214
00:22:04.160 --> 00:22:11.000
best, do so with the knowledge, information, ability resources that you have

215
00:22:11.279 --> 00:22:15.920
at hand at the moment that you
need to use it. That's what you

216
00:22:17.039 --> 00:22:23.279
use. Use that plethora of information
and data to solve those things for the

217
00:22:23.359 --> 00:22:30.400
next one to come, because there
were for sure be others to be replaced.

218
00:22:30.759 --> 00:22:37.359
Right, That's what life is about. Life is about going through those

219
00:22:37.440 --> 00:22:44.000
challenges so we can grow. And
we never stop growing. We never stop

220
00:22:44.079 --> 00:22:48.880
growing. We stop growing physically at
certain point, right, But we don't

221
00:22:48.920 --> 00:22:53.160
stop growing as species, as humans, we don't stop evolving, we don't

222
00:22:53.200 --> 00:23:00.759
stop learning discovering. There's so much
of earth, of people, of life

223
00:23:00.839 --> 00:23:04.160
itself that we still have to discover, and we're seeing that with chat GPT

224
00:23:04.359 --> 00:23:08.279
for example. Right, there's a
lot that we're discovering, and there's a

225
00:23:08.279 --> 00:23:17.079
lot that's going to change drastically the
way that life is forever right, and

226
00:23:17.160 --> 00:23:23.279
the decisions that are made now will
drastically affect how that looks like in the

227
00:23:23.599 --> 00:23:30.759
very very near future. And we
are going to be faced with having to

228
00:23:30.799 --> 00:23:34.799
adjust, having to evolve, and
some of that is going to be abrupt,

229
00:23:37.000 --> 00:23:41.640
especially in how fast chat GPT,
for example, is speaking of that

230
00:23:41.759 --> 00:23:48.400
particular example, how fast chat GPT
is growing, evolving, changing, shifting

231
00:23:48.839 --> 00:23:55.039
life itself. That, ladies and
gentlemen, is going to be an abrupt

232
00:23:55.200 --> 00:24:00.599
awakening, an abrupt awakening. It
could be good and it could be not

233
00:24:00.759 --> 00:24:03.839
so good, or it could be
any great, anything in the middle.

234
00:24:03.839 --> 00:24:07.559
But what I do know and what
we all do know, is that it

235
00:24:07.640 --> 00:24:14.039
is going to be an abrupt change. So we have to learn to adjust

236
00:24:14.440 --> 00:24:19.720
and evolve through lives ups and downs
in such a way that it would do

237
00:24:19.839 --> 00:24:26.240
more good than bad because you can't
help. But in that process to get

238
00:24:26.319 --> 00:24:34.079
hurt a little bit. Right,
there is no true battle, true battle.

239
00:24:34.759 --> 00:24:38.559
When you're in a battle field,
you get hurt, you get punched,

240
00:24:38.680 --> 00:24:44.200
sometimes you get knocked down, sometimes
you get you scrape your leg.

241
00:24:45.079 --> 00:24:51.960
Right, in a true battle field, you get down and dirty. But

242
00:24:52.079 --> 00:24:56.920
what's important is that you prevail.
You continue, You have the perseverance,

243
00:24:57.240 --> 00:25:06.640
You are able to adjust life's changes
accordingly, and if you don't, life

244
00:25:06.720 --> 00:25:11.960
has a particular way of forcing you
to. COVID was that example for me,

245
00:25:12.400 --> 00:25:18.240
particularly for example, right I knew
before COVID, Right before COVID,

246
00:25:18.279 --> 00:25:22.240
I knew I felt I needed a
change. I wasn't comfortable, I wasn't

247
00:25:22.279 --> 00:25:26.200
happy where I was doing. I
needed a change, And that was in

248
00:25:26.279 --> 00:25:30.359
my heart, that was in my
soul at that time. Though I was

249
00:25:30.400 --> 00:25:34.319
a new mom, I was a
single mom of a then one year old

250
00:25:34.400 --> 00:25:41.720
or maybe months old when COVID happened, Life said, God said, I

251
00:25:41.839 --> 00:25:47.000
told you so. You didn't change
when you felt it, So now you

252
00:25:47.160 --> 00:25:52.720
have no choice but to change so
many times in order to If we want

253
00:25:52.759 --> 00:26:00.200
to avoid that abruptness, then we
would change with the time times a little

254
00:26:00.240 --> 00:26:04.960
lot of time in a more nicer, more gentler way. I'm not going

255
00:26:06.000 --> 00:26:08.839
to say that it is all going
to be roses, but it does not

256
00:26:10.079 --> 00:26:15.599
have to be as abrupt and we
are essentially the ones to choose that.

257
00:26:15.759 --> 00:26:19.680
Right. It's like right now in
time and history where we have not seen

258
00:26:19.759 --> 00:26:25.839
anything like what we're living right now. This is an opportunity to grow,

259
00:26:26.160 --> 00:26:30.160
This is an opportunity to expand,
this is an opportunity to change, to

260
00:26:30.319 --> 00:26:37.799
shift, to evolve with the current
times, keeping your foundation, keeping your

261
00:26:37.920 --> 00:26:41.720
internal compass, and checking that out
from time to time, checking back to

262
00:26:41.960 --> 00:26:45.599
that. Right, do I still
believe in this? Do I still believe

263
00:26:45.599 --> 00:26:52.200
in that? Do I still stand
back for that? Right? Are those

264
00:26:52.279 --> 00:26:56.920
causes still strong to my soul and
my heart? Because that may change now.

265
00:26:56.960 --> 00:27:03.960
When you have a steady foundation,
you can change in life circumstances and

266
00:27:04.039 --> 00:27:11.400
adjust to life changes in such a
way that you are keeping your core intact,

267
00:27:11.079 --> 00:27:18.960
and you are allowing life to take
you where it must with your perception,

268
00:27:18.039 --> 00:27:25.640
with your perspective, with your choice
of how you want to perceive and

269
00:27:25.759 --> 00:27:30.279
see that, and dance with that
if you will, right, because we

270
00:27:30.319 --> 00:27:37.480
are all in this beautiful dance of
life, and in that dance we often

271
00:27:37.880 --> 00:27:41.680
get hurt and fall, and we
often do a misstep, and we often

272
00:27:41.759 --> 00:27:48.480
forget our next step and forget the
song or the dance or the rhythm.

273
00:27:48.519 --> 00:27:55.160
But life teaches us the rhythm of
the current dance, and we have to

274
00:27:55.240 --> 00:27:59.319
dance with that. We have to
go with the flow with that. Always

275
00:27:59.400 --> 00:28:04.880
remember the past, what the past
has taught us, right, always understanding

276
00:28:04.960 --> 00:28:10.680
that, yes, we are creatures
of habit and we do have flaws,

277
00:28:10.920 --> 00:28:14.359
and we are going to feel pain, and we are going to have difficulty,

278
00:28:14.599 --> 00:28:18.240
and that's a part of life,
is inevitable. We grow through these

279
00:28:18.279 --> 00:28:22.720
times. They're not fun, I
can tell you that much. I've been

280
00:28:22.720 --> 00:28:26.599
through them myself, and I'm going
through some of myself. They're not fun,

281
00:28:27.440 --> 00:28:33.079
but they're roller coasters that at the
end of the day will build that

282
00:28:33.200 --> 00:28:38.720
resilient muscle, right, that anti
fragility, which is that extra omph that

283
00:28:40.359 --> 00:28:45.759
muscle that we are strengthening through these
evolutions, if you will. So,

284
00:28:47.039 --> 00:28:51.839
with that being said, thank you
so much for joining me today and every

288
00:29:04.759 --> 00:29:34.440
Bye, Masterminded Express Show with your
host mar Lanni Cruiz
