Speaker 1: Hey, hey, Hey, I'm bad with something for you to
Speaker 1: think about. I wrote a blog years ago.
Speaker 2: Called the Steal Syndromes, and I'm gonna talk about it now.
Speaker 2: What I'm talking about today is not necessarily what I
Speaker 2: wrote in that, but the title is the same. So
Speaker 2: the still syndrome, for me, is a syndrome where people
Speaker 2: have become complacent.
Speaker 1: And have no growth. There's no change.
Speaker 2: People are remaining the same, doing the same things, thinking
Speaker 2: the same things, feeling the same ways, acting the same ways.
Speaker 2: To me, that is what I call the steel syndrome.
Speaker 1: Doing things such as as adults.
Speaker 2: Still hating self, still hating yourself because you're still.
Speaker 1: Wadling in old pain. Now. I am not trying to.
Speaker 2: Downplay or dismiss anything tragic that a person has gone through.
Speaker 1: I'm not.
Speaker 2: What I'm saying is you don't have to wear it
Speaker 2: like a badge of honor. You don't have to let
Speaker 2: it dictate your life. You can move on and away
Speaker 2: from all the hurt, pain and suffering because.
Speaker 1: A lot of what people hold on to is from
Speaker 1: their past, and the past is gone forever. Some of
Speaker 1: you are.
Speaker 2: Well up in age and you're still holding on to
Speaker 2: things from your childhood.
Speaker 1: When your past is.
Speaker 2: Gone, what you're holding on to are the memories, and
Speaker 2: as long as you hold on to them, you're giving
Speaker 2: power to them. And therefore you're still waterling in old pain.
Speaker 2: All that does is hold you back, hold you down,
Speaker 2: and keep you where you've always been. Mentally, it prevents
Speaker 2: you from loving yourself. It prevents you from believing in yourself.
Speaker 2: It prevents you from having confidence and self esteem. It
Speaker 2: prevents you from knowing your worth and your value. It
Speaker 2: leaves you full of insecurity. Okay, I'll move on. You
Speaker 2: have people still lying, just lying about everything. Lie, lie, lie, lie,
Speaker 2: lie so much you forget the last lie you're told.
Speaker 1: Then you tell a lie about that lie because you
Speaker 1: can't remember what you said.
Speaker 2: Just lie, lie, lie, lie lie. Pathologically, everybody know you
Speaker 2: a liar, accept you because you've deceived yourself, still lying.
Speaker 2: That's what people know you for liing. You can never
Speaker 2: become better by remaining the same. Nobody believes a liar.
Speaker 2: The only people that believe a liar are broken individuals
Speaker 2: who are seeking after something because they choose to remain
Speaker 2: the same. Mentally, no growth. Therefore, when there's no growth,
Speaker 2: you don't think for yourself, and when you don't think
Speaker 2: for yourself, other people.
Speaker 1: Will think for you.
Speaker 2: And make you believe things that are not real, that
Speaker 2: are not true. You have people still deceiving others. People
Speaker 2: are still being deceived. It goes back to the mindset
Speaker 2: that you have. I mean, it should be exhausting to
Speaker 2: people to live day in, day out, month, year the
Speaker 2: same next year, You're still the same person, thinking the same,
Speaker 2: feeling the same, acting the same, Still in the same
Speaker 2: place mentally.
Speaker 1: No growth, no growth. You have people all.
Speaker 2: Of their lives, starting from when they were younger, seeing
Speaker 2: things and picking up those maladaptive behaviors. Now they are adults,
Speaker 2: still carrying the baggage still you know, cheating, married, still
Speaker 2: cheating in a relationship, still cheating. People cheat not because
Speaker 2: the other person is a bad person or they've done
Speaker 2: something wrong or anything like that. People cheat because of
Speaker 2: who they are as individuals. What's inside of that person.
Speaker 2: They're insecurities, their brokenness. That's why people cheat. You're still
Speaker 2: cheating all of these years later.
Speaker 1: You chosen not become better. Instead, you're still a cheating.
Speaker 2: Millions of people around the world have chosen to still
Speaker 2: remain broken. All of this every single thing I'm talking
Speaker 2: about comes from brokenness. When I've said a million times,
Speaker 2: every single day, we get to live as an opportunity
Speaker 2: to become better, think better, feel better, do better, but
Speaker 2: most people don't take it. So that brokenness affect your
Speaker 2: life in many facets, in many ways, but people can't
Speaker 2: see it because brokenness prevents them from seeing.
Speaker 1: They're blind.
Speaker 2: Their eyes are open, but they're wide shut.
Speaker 1: They can't see because they have embraced and adopted to.
Speaker 2: Their own negative behaviors and negative beliefs. People are still complaining,
Speaker 2: still whining and complaining about things, but not.
Speaker 1: Doing anything to improve their situations.
Speaker 2: You're still whining and complaining about Oh, I don't have
Speaker 2: no money, but you've done nothing to make your situation better.
Speaker 2: You're still in the same daddy and job hoping you
Speaker 2: get a dollar raise.
Speaker 1: You're too afraid to.
Speaker 2: Try something different, so you're still complaining, yet you're doing nothing.
Speaker 1: How do you think that's gonna work out?
Speaker 2: I'm just curious, how is it gonna work out when
Speaker 2: you're only complaining but you're doing nothing to improve your situation.
Speaker 1: You're still broke. You was broke last year, you were
Speaker 1: broke the year before that.
Speaker 2: You broke now, and you'll be broke next year if
Speaker 2: you don't change your situation, if you don't change your mindset,
Speaker 2: if you don't do something different. You have people still procrastinating.
Speaker 1: You said you're gonna do this, you're gonna do that,
Speaker 1: and you have done nothing.
Speaker 2: As things power up, as your life become disorderly and disorganized,
Speaker 2: you're still procrastinating, saying you're gonna do this, you're gonna
Speaker 2: do that, I'm gonna go to.
Speaker 1: School, I'm gonna lose.
Speaker 2: Weight, I'm gonna give me a job, I'm gonna do this,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna do that, and you have done nothing but talk.
Speaker 2: Procrastinating gets nothing done. Stop it, get up and make
Speaker 2: things happen, positive things. Many people are still forty fifty
Speaker 2: sixty years, still let an addiction rule their lives, rule
Speaker 2: and ruin, been drinking and drugging for years, all of
Speaker 2: their life and still not tiet make it make sense. No,
Speaker 2: it don't make sense to me. I don't want to hear. Well,
Speaker 2: you don't know, you've never been there. Please save that
Speaker 2: for the choir. I'm from a family both sides, so
Speaker 2: don't tell me because I do know.
Speaker 1: And I've worked with.
Speaker 2: Individuals with these issues. Whatever you give power to can't
Speaker 2: control you, no matter what is, what it is, or
Speaker 2: who it is. If you give power to that thing,
Speaker 2: it can control you. Drugs and alcohol can do nothing
Speaker 2: to no one. You have to pick up drugs, you
Speaker 2: have to pick up alcohol. It can mysteriously or miraculously
Speaker 2: go into your body. So the very thing you give
Speaker 2: power to controls you. I mean, there are so many
Speaker 2: people for years, like I said, forty fifty sixty years,
Speaker 2: still addicted and don't want to let it go.
Speaker 1: I've lost relatives. Well, if it killed me and killed
Speaker 1: me and.
Speaker 2: Your wish was commanded, it's crazy.
Speaker 1: People are still.
Speaker 2: Greedy and lustful, seeking self gratification, doing anything for money,
Speaker 2: to get money and to keep money, anything, chasing the
Speaker 2: devil for money, literally chasing the devil, worshiping the devil
Speaker 2: for money, for fame, for fortune, and all you're getting is.
Speaker 1: Things that don't even matter.
Speaker 2: Losing your soul is the worst thing you could do.
Speaker 2: All those things you gain does not matter. You can't
Speaker 2: take any of it with you when you leave this world.
Speaker 2: And most people got all they can have and miserable.
Speaker 2: So make that makes sense. But yet you're still greedy
Speaker 2: and lustful. The Bible tells us money isn't the root
Speaker 2: to all evil. It's the love of money, because people
Speaker 2: will do anything to get it and to keep it.
Speaker 1: People are old and dirt and still.
Speaker 2: Chasing the wrong things, doing the wrong things, because people
Speaker 2: get so used to who they are as negative as
Speaker 2: they can be. People are so used to who they
Speaker 2: are are, and so comfortable with who they have become,
Speaker 2: that they can't see anything wrong. It's always the other person.
Speaker 2: They're pouring a finger, blaming other people when.
Speaker 1: It's them, When it's you, still.
Speaker 2: Chasing the wrong things, doing the wrong things, making them
Speaker 2: wrong choices and decisions.
Speaker 1: But you can't see it's you because, like.
Speaker 2: I said many times, your mindset is your worst enemy.
Speaker 2: You're blind to your own ways. You have people still
Speaker 2: being used and abused by the very people who's supposed
Speaker 2: to care about them, who's supposed to love them, And
Speaker 2: the only reason you're being used and abused is because
Speaker 2: you are allowed. I've heard people say, well, you know,
Speaker 2: some people just don't want to speak out or speak up. Well,
Speaker 2: if you don't, you get what you allow. It doesn't
Speaker 2: make the situation better. You get what you allow people
Speaker 2: to do to you. If you're in a relationship and
Speaker 2: you allowing yourself to be using abused, that falls on you.
Speaker 2: If you at work and you allow yourself to be
Speaker 2: used and abused, that falls on you.
Speaker 1: As an adult, you have the right to stand up
Speaker 1: for yourself. You don't have to go along to get along.
Speaker 1: You don't have to go along to get ahead with
Speaker 1: someone using.
Speaker 2: And abusing you. You do that by choice. If you
Speaker 2: don't have a confidence to speak up, that tells you
Speaker 2: something about yourself. There is some work you need to do,
Speaker 2: inner work. People are still robbing Peter to pay Paul.
Speaker 2: Some of you don't even know what that means.
Speaker 1: That means you're living above your means.
Speaker 2: You don't have what you portray that you have. You
Speaker 2: could be rich and still don't have what you pretend
Speaker 2: to have. You can be rich and still robbing Peter
Speaker 2: to pay Paul. You can be rich and still.
Speaker 1: Broken and unhappy.
Speaker 2: Some people live in paycheck to paycheck because they don't
Speaker 2: have any financial wisdom. None rich people live above their
Speaker 2: means because they don't have financial wisdom.
Speaker 1: Still Robin Peter to pay Paul have been doing it
Speaker 1: for years.
Speaker 2: People make it living living off of credit cards. People
Speaker 2: make a living.
Speaker 1: At the cash checking places. People make a living.
Speaker 2: Exchanging food steps for cash. I mean, I'm just telling you,
Speaker 2: I'm telling you real, and I'm talking people of all races.
Speaker 1: People willfully are lost still, people.
Speaker 2: Are willfully still confused, still blind, still bamboozle, still brainwashed,
Speaker 2: still deceived, and don't even know it because when you're broken,
Speaker 2: you can't see these things. You just can't see it.
Speaker 2: You don't understand when someone tried to tell you, because
Speaker 2: that's not what your mind's eye is showing you. That's
Speaker 2: why people are so easily dooped. And it's so many
Speaker 2: things that could fall under this still syndrome. You can
Speaker 2: just think about your own life and just think about
Speaker 2: the things you're still going through, how you're still allowing
Speaker 2: hurt and pain to keep you trapped in darkness. Whatever
Speaker 2: situation happened years ago, and you're still allowing that hurt
Speaker 2: and that pain to keep you trapped in darkness.
Speaker 1: I just want to talk about it. Hopefully you can.
Speaker 2: Take this and look at your own life and see
Speaker 2: what you're still doing, what you're still allowing, what you're
Speaker 2: still accepting. The monsters you're still creating what you're still
Speaker 2: allowed to hold you back.
Speaker 1: And every other still and make a decision to be better,
Speaker 1: be the best you that you can be.
Speaker 2: Positively, nothing negative, positively. Only you can do that.
Speaker 1: That's a task only you can complete. That's it.
