But then finally, you are going to accept your transformation. You're going to be able to accept and live in a person that like, wow, this is my lifestyle. Now, Okay. Okay. Good morning and welcome everybody to another episode of Mo or Less, where we inspire you to get the most out of life, so you don't leave nothing to chance, so you don't leave nothing behind, but you give life everything you got. Last episode, we talked about making the change. And in that episode, I like to just jump right to it recapping that if you haven't listened to it, go back and listen to it, making a change to three D's of transformation. We talked about the discipline, we talked about the depression phase where you're going to feel like quitting. And then we talked about the decision. And so in that, excuse me, in that process, you want to understand one, who you are as a person, and two, you're going to discover things about yourself that you never really saw in yourself, right? When you take accountability for your life, when you take accountability for your mind, you can transform and excel in any area. The biggest thing that we took away from that one is making the decision to change and understanding that the results of life are all yours. And being consistent is all about you. You have to decide to be consistent. You have to decide that you're worth the results. That you're worth that life that you want. That you're worth it. And you can't blame nothing or anyone else, but you have to go For it. I wanted to record this episode. I thought decided to change the scene do a change of scenery for those that are listening I have a little coffee bar in my house And so I decided to cam up right there see if I can get different lighting get a different look it feels good It looks good. So i'm excited. So hopefully you can check the episode out on youtube where you can see, you know the whole setup, but I think I might start recording over here You Now it's a nice little look Anyway, let's get back into it today when i'm talking about making the change i'm gonna talk about the three outward transformations the three outward transformations so first there's going to be I like to combine it but like a mental and spiritual shift in your life It's going to be a mental and spiritual shift where you're literally going to be a different person. You really have to become different to get different results. They said insanity. Is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different results, but that's not the case here, right? You want something different you want to hit those goals. You want to hit those financial markers You want to hit you know Those career markers you want to hit those family markers be a better parent a better father some of the goals I have you want to hit those milestones, right? But it's going to take a transformation and you have to accept that you'll be a different person And so like decision, but this is going to be a commitment to spiritual and mental transformation. And I say spiritual because I'm a firm believer that when you ask God to transform your life, he's going to renew your mind. But then the Bible teaches us that it takes day by day for the renewal of our mind. Be not conformed to this world, right? There's this world is put on a cycle. This world puts you on a cycle. They said the world spins on an axis. It's constantly turning, but it's going to be the same amount of times in each day. It's going to be the same circleization around the sun. It's going to be the same rotation. The moon's going to rotate around there. All that stuff that they say, it's consistent. It's going to be the same thing over and over again. There's nothing new under the sun, right? But you are new in the likeness of your walk with god So once you tap into that, you understand that you have an access, a connection to the creator. So you can create a new life for yourself. Once you accept Jesus Christ, I know I'm going on the tangent. You have no go on a rant, but I had to get my plugin right there. When Jesus transforms your mind, you become a different person, but the hard part about it, the difficult part about it, doubling it back to my last episode, when I talked about the depression is you don't see the results. There's going to be people that knew the old you, and they're going to say, you haven't changed. You're still the old person that you used to be. You're still the old mode. You're still the old insert your name here, right? You're still that person. And so it takes a while for them to see the transformation. And What happens often too is that we don't even see our own transformation because of because we live with ourselves each and every day So what happens is our mind speaks to us saying you're not going to change. You're not going to be better You're not going to be different. You're not going to excel. You're not going to go further You're not going to be this great person that you know You want to be, you're not going to be this transformed person. You're going to make the same mistakes. You're going to fall short. This is our mind keeps telling us this over and over again, but that's why that spiritual and mental transformation is so important because you're going to learn to navigate and quiet those noises. You're going to be able to just, say, get thee behind me, Satan to those old ways of thinking. Those thoughts are going to come after you. Those phrases, those concepts, those minds. Oh, sorry. I was looking at the time. I was looking at the thing backwards. Sorry. Back on track. You're going to look at those things and you're going to realize that you are different, a better person. So in that process of transformation you have to accept now part two, you have to accept the outward transformation of everyone else's view. And that's going to be, I'll say, a joyous occasion because you, because you have to, because you have to be patient, you have to be patient in that timing because people are going to see a transformation. Some people won't accept the transformation, but others will, and they'll say, hey, you look different, you're moving different, you're acting different, there's something different about you, right? And that's going to happen. They say that happens before you see it in yourself you people other people because and because the other thing too is here's The I guess the scientific thing behind it you see yourself every day So if you're looking at your results, you're gonna see your same facial expressions You're gonna see your same physique, right? But some people like friends and family might see them every other weekend, People, just see on occasion, you might see them every other day. Coworkers, you go see them every day at work. So there are certain people that are going to track from the last time they saw you to the time that they see you now, and they're going to say, wow. Look at this difference. What are you doing differently? I see a transformation or your presence, your demeanor, that spiritual aspects that walk with Christ. They're going to feel that presence. They're going to feel that presence of God upon your life. And they're going to say, there's something different about you when I'm standing in your presence. I feel something different. What is that? And you decided you let them know. Hey, I've made a change in my life. I decided to follow Jesus I decided to get my life together. I decided to get my health together. I decided to get everything in my life together better and then after that outward, Acknowledgement of transformation that outward acknowledgement of transformation comes the Personal acknowledgement when you accept it Your acceptance of transformation, right? Because first you have to make the commitment to change, and then you start being consistent in that. But then, what's going to happen outwardly, first God is going to touch you, right? First God is going to intervene outwardly, right? Changing your spirit, man, to commit to being this new person. And then, outwardly, others are going to see that result. That's But then finally, you are going to accept your transformation. You're going to be able to accept and live in a person that like, wow, this is my lifestyle. Now, this is who I am now. And you're going to believe it at first is hard. You got to push through. You got to push through into that place of faith, but eventually you're going to believe who you have come to be. You're going to believe that you're this new person. You're going to believe that you can walk in. The newness of this new life. They say it takes 21 days. To create a habit, but even in that 21 days you might not see your own results But you have to stay consistent a big thing about mindset that you're going to hear on this podcast over and over again Is consistency so that's why you need to subscribe like and follow this podcast because the more you stay consistent With listening to these teachings these practices this information the more your life is going to transform for the better How do you get to know somebody by spending more time with them? You can't just read one scripture and expect your life to stay consistently changed in Christ. You have to day in and day out, communicate with God, pray to God, read the word, fellowship with like minded believers. So you can be in that place of consistency for your body. You have to go to the gym every single day. You have to eat right. Every single day. Okay. Sometimes, there's rest days, right? Might go to the gym three to four times a day. I like to work out five to six times a day if I can. And then you're, what you end, what you take in inwardly, right? What you eat, you have to consistently eat. You might, have a nice birthday, a celebration or something like that, where you go out of what you're eating, but you have to stay committed to that diet. You have to stay committed to that lifestyle, right? When you're reading to stimulate your mind, like because of consistency, I've now read. Probably over 200 books related to personal development, mindset, and business growth. The Millionaire Secrets, The Secrets of the Millionaire Mind, Rich Dad, Poor Dad, The Compound Effect, Subtle Art of Giving Up, Bleep Work. That's a good book, even though I don't like how much, there's so much cussing in that book. But, it's a great book when you get past all of The outward stuff there sometimes you have to get you have to look past certain things To get to the meat of the thing, right? And so there's a lot of books here that you can read of course the bible, of course the bible reading proverbs the proverbs today keeps the devil away You know if you ever heard that and so all these different books, you know that you can read to stimulate your mind mentally Physically like spiritually, all these mechanisms, all these resources are in place so you can excel, so you can be great, so you can be the best version of yourself. Now, in this place of making a change, you have to be okay with being different and understand that everybody's going to accept it. Understand there's people that's going to know you since you were a kid. And not accept it, but in my own life, my own testimony when I made a transformation to follow Christ, um, let's just say I went super radical and, cut some bad ties. But even in that growing in, in, in Christ growing in Christ, I matured in Christ. And so I had to reach a level of maturity and once I reached that level of maturity, then I was able to walk with Christ the right way, in my opinion. And so a lot of old relationships were mended a lot of past. Situations were forgiven. And in that I was able to grow to a level of maturity in Christ where I truly Feel God has taken a will. God is in full control. And then even on that spiritual mindset, like if you can't tell you, you can't tell if you're listening to the podcast, but if you're watching it, you can see the transformation of the physique. Cause I decided to really step it up and get my health together. You're going to see more on that later, but even on the spiritual aspect too, had I not been walking with God, had I not been in this place of personal development and mindset development, I would not have the resources and mechanisms To overcome my current situation if you listen to previous podcasts I dedicate this podcast to my late wife who passed away back in march of this year. This is 2024 back in march of this year, suddenly unexpectedly, do some unexpected health Things that happen. That's just a long story short of that. But because of that I allowed to walk through that season of grief Go back to listen to good grief navigating those stages of grief the proper way and then I was able to set fire. God set fire to my spiritual growth where I was able to get back on track. I'm in, I feel like I'm in a good place of recovery. I still miss my wife. I still love my wife so much. I wish she was here. But being able to navigate properly as a father, being able to navigate life, being able to stay consistent, not letting life consume me I consume life in the sense that I'm getting the most out of life, I'm taking it by the horns. I'm saying, bring it on, bring it on. And because, it's a scary place to be where you have to, where life just keeps throwing everything at you. But are you going to keep getting hit? Are you going to keep getting knocked down? Are you going to keep, starting over or are you going to take life by the horns? Are you going to, say, you know what? I have control of my life. I have what it takes to no matter what life throws at me, I can bounce back. I want to be an example to you all that are listening, that no matter what life throws at you, you can bounce back, you can overcome, you can excel, you can thrive. But it starts with your mind, it starts with you having the proper mindset, with making the choice. Making the choice, and I'm going to get deeper into this on another episode, but making the choice to be proactive instead of reactive. This year I started making sure I read like certain books every single day, praying every day and meditating on the word of God every single day. I would do that. And I'm getting back into that now fully. But when I started off the year, I was doing that consistently every day. Then everything happened with my wife. And most people, when they lose the love of their life, when they lose a loved one, they shut down. They go into hiding. They cut off everybody. For an extended period of time they some lose faith, some stop walking with God, some fall off track with their health, like everything that they were doing good shifts to bad. And I said no, I got this life to live. I got this calling from God. I got to walk in. I got these kids. I got to take care of, I got to do all these things. I got, I have a purpose here. I have a purpose here and I have to fulfill that God given purpose. And so I decided to be proactive and get back on track and do those things. That's not going to let me succumb to the depression. That's not going to let me succumb to the fear, but overcome. Overcoming every area of life. And it starts with your mindset. It starts with your choice saying, Hey, I'm Whatever life throws at me. I know I'm walking with God. I know God has a plan for my life and I have to give life everything I got. And so when you make that change, when you decide to be better, that outward thing is first, it just comes upon you. There's a spiritual transformation again, that's going to overshadow your physical being. And then outwardly, you're going to see everyone else is going to see your transformation. But then finally, you're going to see your transformation and you're going to finally be committed and locked in this new lifestyle and this new way of life. But you have to be disciplined. You have to be consistent and you have to push through because there's going to be low times. There's going to be setbacks. There's going to be times where you want to give up and you cannot give up. Push through excel Overcome because you are here for a purpose god puts you here because you're special god puts you here because he made you great He made you in his image and he says I have an assignment for you my child And it's time for you To figure out what that is And figure out what's holding you back from achieving everything you want in life from doing everything that god has asked you to do But don't worry you have help Because we're more or less we're gonna tap into the mole. We're gonna tap into the more we're gonna tap into the mindset When everything that's less because when you don't tap it into the mole, we don't tap into that more piece All that's left is less and those are your only options you have more or you have less Which one will you choose?
