Act Like It

In fact , this episode today is for all my go-getters out there , for all my manifestors , for all my those who know they have something more in the tank and they're just trying to figure out how to unlock that seed of greatness . This episode is for you . So I never know what episode is going to be from week to week .

I don't , because it's essentially channeling right , and what I mean is we have imagine this there's a pool , there's an ocean , there's an ocean of creativity . We'll call this the field . In this ocean , you have a hose that's hooked up to it like a little tube .

When you are locked in , you can pull from this ocean , you can pull from this infinite pool , you can pull from this infinite source . It's about you having an open mind From week to week . I never know what I'm going to talk about .

I have no idea , but I know that , whatever I'm going to talk about , I have no idea , but I know that whatever I'm supposed to talk about it , it will come to me .

So this episode came to me here like a week and a half ago and I'm like , okay , I got to get this , I got to get this on paper , I got to record this , I got to talk about this , okay . So I'm fascinated with words .

I love words because words mean something , but then there's like a hidden meaning inside of it and that's really what like fascinates me . So I started thinking and this came to me that the creator creates creation . Right , the creator creates creation . Say that with me . The creator creates creation . So now I'm like the word guy in me . I'm like creation .

It has T-I-O-N on the end of it . Now I remember being in school I don't know what grade it was thing , that any word that had T-I-O-N on the end of it , it was a noun . It was a noun , okay , that means it's a person , place or thing . Y'all stay with me because it's about to come on in . It was a person , place or thing . It was a noun .

Creation , it's a noun . So then I go like what is that thing called ? I know what a prefix is , but what's the thing on the back . Oh , it's a suffix . I wasn't paying attention in class at that point , so I go into the end . I type in on Google , because Google has all the answers right . I type in Google T-I-O-N suffix . What does it mean ?

Good God almighty , y'all going to get it right now . It means the result of Means , the result of the result of . Creator creates creation . Good God almighty . So the creation is the result of the creator creating . Are you staying with me ? Now let's go back up to the top , where the creator was . The creator was the subject . Creating or create was the verb .

Creation was the noun , the result of . I didn't want to give you all an English lesson , but we have to do this . Ok , stay with me here . Now that I understand that the subject and the verb get together . The subject and the verb get together in the noun , the end result , the finished product , has to show itself .

When we understand that creating was the process and the creation was the product . It wasn't nothing to it , but to do it . Do you see how this works ? So I'm sitting here like , okay , there's got to be other words . This is the Holy Trinity . This is the Holy Trinity . Okay , this is the Holy Trinity , when you start understanding . The creator creates creation .

Okay , how does this pertain to me in my life ? Good god , oh my , it's going to be one of the most listened to , most downloaded episodes ever man has ever heard . The actor acts action . The actor acts action . The subject is the actor . The verb was acts action . The subject is the actor .

The verb was acts Action was the noun that was created from the actor acting . Good God , almighty , y'all ain't trying to hear me right now . Do you see what I'm saying ? Do you see how this works ? We always say you got to take action . You can't take action . You can't take action . The suffix T-I-O-N means it's the result of acting .

So when they say you have to take action , they're throwing you off . Action was going to be the byproduct of you acting . Y'all ain't trying to hear me right now . I don't want to get off . Now I'm done , I should get off . I should get off right now , because you're not trying to hear what I'm saying right now .

This is why you were supposed to be like a child and pretend . You were supposed to pretend Because every time that you were pretending , you were acting . Every time that you pretended , you were acting , and I know if I'm acting , the action has to show itself . The action has to show itself . It has no choice . It's a Mickey Freaky law . So here's , here's .

Why does this ? Why does this ? How does this pertain to you ? Because you are the actor , you are the creator . But see , you had to be creating , you had to be acting . And if you could not act , if you could not act , if you could not create , that gap in between Was what we refer to as fear . I know I can't , but I just See .

You have the end result , you have the intention , you have the top of the mountain , but you're not . Why am I not doing it ? How come I'm not getting the actions ? How come I'm not getting the results ? How come I'm not getting the creations of my intentions ? The reason why you're not getting it is because you're not acting .

The reason why you're not getting it is because you're not creating the new version of you . And the reason why you're not creating the new version of you ? Because you're still holding on to the version of yourself , the old version , the one that everybody else identifies you as . Y'all ain't trying to hear me .

You see this right now , present day , but this isn't who you're dealing with . You're dealing with the me who's two years out . You're dealing with the me who's two years out . The best compliment somebody can pay you is when they look at you and say , oh my gosh , you've changed . You're damn right . I've changed , you're right .

I have , and I hope that you will change as well . I hope that you create a new script . I and I hope that you will change as well . I hope that you create a new script . I hope that you create a new motion picture for this thing that you call life , so that way you can become a new actress in this new life that you're going to create .

But what ends up happening is we end up having fear , the fear of what if I'm not accepted ? What if they think I'm different ? What if they ? They gonna think what they gonna think . They gonna think what they going to think . They going to think what they going to think . They going to think about you .

Whatever they think about themselves and what they think about themselves is probably unconscious , so they're probably will project onto you their unconsciousness . But the only reason why they were doing that was for you to step truly into who you were . You see , y'all ain't trying to hear me right now . They ain't trying to hear nothing .

I'm saying so let me just go a little bit deeper . Let me just go a little bit deeper . Okay , the script wasn't even written yet . You could write any script that you want . You could write any script that you want for the actor . That's what we call the intention , right ? So when I have the intention , that's the script , here's that you want .

You can write any script that you want for the actor . That's what we call the intention , right . So when I have the intention , that's the script , here's what I want , here's what I want to look like . More importantly , here's what I want it to feel like .

So now I got to create this actor inside , but there's going to be fears , there's going to be trauma , there's going to be past narratives that's going to keep me from being able to act on it . So this is why we have to do the inner work , because the inner work is you extinguishing the beliefs that you had that kept you from being able to act .

Y'all ain't trying to hear me when you start understanding that your life and I've said this before your life is nothing more than the sum of all your beliefs . It's nothing more than the sum of your beliefs . Well , what's a belief ? Abraham Hicks said it best A belief ain't nothing but a thought that you just keep thinking over and over again .

Good God , almighty , they ain't trying to hear me . I went to my son the other day . I know I'm jumping around , but y'all stay with me here . I went to my son the other day because me and him had the opportunity to go on an AU trip and my wife and my daughter couldn't go , so we were in the hotel room , just me . Great father-son time , just .

I'll remember this for the rest of existence . And I'm talking to him . I said what's the difference between faith and fear ? And he said he was like well , faith is something that you believe is going to happen . I said , yeah , you're right . Very well done , son , you've been listening . At least in this aspect you have .

Faith is something that you believe is going to happen . I looked at him . I said , son , do you realize that fear is the same thing ? Fear is the same thing . Fear is the same thing . It's the belief that something is going to happen . Faith is the belief that something positive is going to happen Positive is going to happen .

Fear is the belief that something negative will happen . And the only difference between positive and negative was perspective . The only difference between hot and cold was relative to where you were at . See , 80 degrees is hot until you go to the Serengeti and it's 130 out there .

80 is going to feel really cold , 50 feels like it's cold until you go to the Arctic and you see that negative 50 . 50 is a heat wave . Do you see how this works ? So I'm looking at my son . I'm like son , you realize you got fears and there's faith . The only difference between is the perspective that you have .

So those fears good God , almighty those fears , those fears , those fears were cosmically built into you . They were cosmically built into this game of life so you could see the gap that was keeping you from acting .

And if I can extinguish my fear , meaning I can shift my perspective based off of these narratives that have happened in my life , these narratives of the trauma , the narratives of the abuse , the narratives I wouldn't be good enough , the narratives of whatever they're going to think about me , the narratives of not being accepted , all of those , if I could shift

those every little bit , that gap in between actor and acting gets smaller and smaller and smaller , and you ain't going to get rid of all of it . I'm not going to sit here and lie to you and make you think it's going to all be gone .

He ain't never going to get rid of all of it , but what's going to end up happening is that gap's going to get small enough that you're going to be able to jump over it . Now , good God , almighty , you're going to be able to jump over it .

You're going to be able to jump over it , and when you can jump over it , all you need to do is be able to jump one time . That's it . If you can jump one time , it's game over . It's game over , because if I can do something once , I can do .

Want to get into the semantics of the one infinite creator , whatever we want to refer to it as , but here's something that we have to realize with this creation , the creator will always be inside of it . Oh my gosh , the creator will always be inside of it . Oh my gosh , the creator will always be inside of the creation .

The creator will always be inside of the creation , always . The creation was really just a smaller version of the creator . Realize this . Realize this , and you'll see that there was no thing that you could not do . There was no thing that you could not do . You could literally go and do anything as long as you were willing to act like it .

So I told you , when I had my ayahuasca ceremony , and Mother Aya and the universe was coming to me and they said you can have anything that you desire , but you had to act like it . But you had to act like it . And if you can't act like it , it's just because of fear .

But in order to do this , there would have to be this thing that we call accountability . You'd have to be accountable for your own life . And in order to be accountable for your own life that , in most thought programs and beliefs , is blasphemous that I'm accountable for my own life Blasphemy .

Until you are fully accountable for your own life , you'll never be able to create it . You hear what I just said Until you accept accountability for your own life , you'll never be able to create it the way you desire . Create it , create it , create it . There's that verb , there's that creator . See , you've been a creator your whole life .

You've been a creator your whole life . But they didn't tell you . They thought that it was somewhere outside of you . No , you are it . It is you . You are it and this whole life that you're living , whether you like it or not , doesn't really matter . It is the creation of you , because you were the creator . Why didn't they tell you this ?

How come they didn't tell you this ? How come you didn't know this ? No , you always knew Deep down inside . You just forgot . So what do we do ? We need to develop a new belief system . We need to develop a new way of thinking , because what I think over and over again will be what I believe and what I believe will be my truth .

Y'all ain't trying to hear me . What I believe will be my truth and my truth will be what my life reflects . You mean to tell me that I can literally create my life however I want , more or less . Yes , I am . But what you see there anytime that you say ?

But there's that little slippery serpent that we call the ego , trying to stay comfortable and stay safe . Do you not know that there's a whole life , there's a whole world that's waiting for you . But the problem is , the issue is it's out there in the deep water . It's out there in the place where you can't swim , sorry , where you can't touch the bottom .

You can swim , though you have all of the tools to be able to swim . When people say I can't swim , I don't know how to swim , the reason why you don't know how to swim is because you never took time to be accountable for yourself and learning how to swim . But human beings have arms , human beings have legs , human beings have lungs .

We all have the opportunity and the capability of swimming all of us . The question is who's going to use those arms , who's going to use those legs ? Who's going to go out to that deep water ? And here's the reason why the universe puts everything out in the deep water . The universe doesn't care if it's deep , it doesn't care if it's shallow .

Every once in a while you'll get it when it's shallow water . Right , every once in a while you get thrown what we call a bone . But it puts everything that you desire out there in the deep water because it wants you to become the version of you , on the same frequency , that would be able to swim in that deep water .

So what good is it if everything's waiting for me on the other side of this challenge ? But I'm not willing to become the version of me that can overcome challenge . I'm not willing to become the version of me that can overcome adversity . I'm not the one who wants the level of the frequency of me who can overcome the hardship , the trauma , the abuse .

The universe puts this in front of you so that way , you can start using these tools that you've been gifted with . This is what we got to understand . There's nothing that can come in your life that is too much for you , that you can't handle Nothing . You got everything already . I'm going to say this till the day I leave . We got it all .

We got it , every single one of us . We all got it . The question is are you going to start doing ? Are you going to wait for something else to do it for you ? You can wait , that's fine , but you'll never get to experience yourself as that which you actually are . And this was the cool thing about this game of life we could create .

We could become all that we wanted . Anything , you can become anything . You can do anything . Hear me when I say this you can do anything . You can do anything . You guys may have seen on social media . I put on my TikTok , I put on Instagram this encounter , this chance encounter with this guy , this young man . We were in Cincinnati .

It was me , my son , durango , who's my video . What do you call it ? Videographer , content creator . Right , we're going to get something to eat and we go to this restaurant and we walk in this restaurant , it was packed . It was a little local Mexican place , it was packed . We walk in and Durango has the camera . Right , he has the camera .

We're like yo , we're going to start documenting everything . We're going to document everything . Durango's like yeah , I'm walking around . We're going to walk around with the camera . We're going to live this life that we want to live , right . We're going to live this life that we want to live , right .

So we're in this little tiny waiting space right , I mean , it was jam-packed and Durango has his camera and everybody's looking at us . Everybody's looking at us like we're in this little town , like we're not in the main Cincinnati .

We're like in , I think it's like Hamilton , ohio , and everybody's looking at us like what is this dude doing with the camera right now ? Why are they all looking at him ? What's going on ? And this lady's kind of looking at us like don't put that camera on me , I better not be in this . I don't know what y'all doing , but I better not be in it .

I'm like , okay , all right . Well , finally , I was like you know what I like Mexican food , but I don't like it this much . It's almost my bedtime , it's coming soon , let's go get something to eat somewhere else . My son was like let's go to Jimmy John's .

I'm like , nah , we ain't going to Jimmy John's , I'm going to go get something that's going to get me through the night , right ? So we walk out and we're walking back to the car and there's this young man there and he says to me hey , what's going on ? Man , I'm like nothing , what's going on ?

He goes you interested in buying some air freshener , and I didn't hear what he said . I was like wait , what is it ? And he hands me the pack . And this is when you see on social media where the interaction took place , but behind me , durango's filming . Behind me some people came up and they saw Durango with a camera .

They said are you guys filming a documentary ? So they didn't get to hear the interaction , a majority of what was going on . You all didn't get to see that on social media . You got to see like the tail end of it .

So I asked this brother I'm like yo , what are you selling ? He's like I'm selling air freshener , I smell it . I'm selling air freshener , I smell it . I'm like damn , it smells good . I go what's the key to life ? And I tell my son this every day , every day what's the key to success ? What's the key to life ? He said the key to success is consistency .

The key to success is consistency . What's the key to life ? Balance . I said how old are you ? I said I'm 20 . I said you're an old soul . This ain't your first time around the block . You said being happy and peace , these are inner things . You , over here , standing out here in this 50 degree weather it's blowing 20 miles per hour .

You selling packs of air fresheners for 10 bucks . Wait , hold on , let me talk to you . Let me talk to you right now . I said what's your goal ? He said , man , I want to get to a million . I said you want to get to a million . He said okay , and I could see myself in him .

It wasn't about the million , I could see myself in him , because that's what everyone is . Everyone is nothing more than a reflection of you . The question is , are you conscious , are you aware when they reflect it back to you ? And I'm looking at this young brother and I'm like this man's standing out here selling air freshener for 10 bucks .

At that moment I'm having a conversation with my younger self . See , the universe is going to do this . Stay with me . I know I'm all over the place , but stay with me . The universe is . It's going to give you an opportunity to go back and rectify the past . I said I'm looking at this man .

I don't know what his life is , I have no idea , but the fact that he's standing out here , he believes in himself , just enough for him to be out here selling $10 . I'm like , son , you got to sell 10 of these to get to $100 . You got to sell 10 of these , but he didn't care . He didn't care Because I saw him .

I saw him when someone else walked up to him , walked by , because he was right outside of a liquor store and they just ignored him , kept moving . I said you sell these for $10 . I'm like , okay , I'm thinking in my mind he's talking , he's talking . You guys started to hear the interaction . You could pick it up on social media .

I'm like what's an amount I can give him ? What's something I can give him that's not gonna bypass his lessons ? Right , it's not gonna . I don't wanna give him just $100 . Say here , now he's done for the day and like , all right , cool , nah , I gotta give him just enough to give him enough energy to give him permission to believe fully in himself .

So I came up with 50 , right , I was like 50 bucks . You guys saw it . I'm like I'll give you $50 . Here's the reason why I'm saying this . It wasn't about the money . It wasn't about the money . It wasn't about the money . But I knew that money was going to give him permission to create a new script .

It was going to give him permission to leave that actor and become a new actor , the move from the B list to the A list . And you guys saw the interaction where he was like yo , you throwing that battery in my back . By chance we happened to cross paths . Okay , by chance we happened to cross paths . Okay , by chance we happen to cross paths .

And I say chance , it's air quotes , right , nothing's by coincidence , nothing's by coincidence . But here's why I'm telling you this . Here's why I'm telling you this right now Because , as much as I may have done for him , you know what he did for me . Do you know what he did for me ?

And this is the thing about the universe what goes out , it's got to come back in . It ain't just one-sided . Nothing is one-sided . We got the positive , we got the negative . We got the dark , we got the light . We got the masculine , we got the feminine . We got the up , we got the down . We got the left , we got the right .

We got the hot , we got the cold . We always going to have both ends . You always going to have both ends , always . And I knew if I can help him , he going to help me somehow . If he can help him , help me , I'm going to help him . Do you see how this works ? So what did this do for me ? I saw me . I saw my past self in this young man .

I'm going to try not to get emotional here . Right , I remember . I remember when I was him , it was just with basketball . I just want to be a professional basketball player . That's all I wrote it down when I was 10 years old . I wrote it down when I was 10 years old I just want to be a professional basketball player . That was it .

Nobody in my family played basketball , nobody . I didn't know how I was going to do and I wrote it down when I was 10 years old . I swear to you on everything . I still got it saved in my phone . I took a picture of my mom . My mom saved it and I left college . I wasn't done , I hadn't graduated , I still had a semester left .

And I left college and my mom , who's an educator , she was like yeah , but you got to promise me that you'll go back . And I promised her I'd go back . And I went to a camp in Utah no deal . I went to a camp in Orlando no deal . I went to a camp in Boston no deal . I went to a summer league in Montana no deal .

I went to a camp in Richmond , virginia no deal . All of these , all of these opportunities that I thought nothing , nothing , nothing . And then finally I got a deal . They paid me $30 a game $30 a game , $30 a game . I was making about $1,000 a month and I wanted to give up .

And I never forget , I was in a Red Ruth Inn in Houston , texas , and my dad , who was working at the time , he changed his flight . He came in to stay with me for the weekend . It was an old , rusty hotel . I went in his room . I was crying . I'm like man , dad , this isn't what I wanted .

He said , son , just stick with it , just stick with it , just stick with it , just stick with it . I'm telling you right now , just stick with it , just stick with it , because everybody see , oh wow , he played for the Globetrotters . Oh wow , dg mindset , didn't nobody see me in that red roof ? Yeah , nobody saw that .

Nobody saw this young man sitting on the corner Selling packs of air freshener for 10 bucks . Nobody said Nobody's gonna see that .

But that's why , when I shook his hand , I said I'll see you at the top , cause if you got that drive , If you got that drive , I know you can you got what it takes you out here in the deep water right now , swimming boy , don't you know ? You got it already . Go go , keep going .

Oh my gosh , this young man showed me something inside of me that we all have inside of us , because we all are the same thing . The question is can you extinguish your fears ? Can you give yourself permission , just for today , to believe in yourself and then act like it ? Can you give yourself permission to believe in yourself and then act like it ?

Can you do that ? I'm here to tell you you got all the equipment . You got all the equipment . You got all the tools , you got everything . Give yourself permission , it's going to be . It's going to be . Don't hear me . When I I got to say this Disclaimer , disclaimer oh , you're going to get some water in your mouth .

You're going to choke because you're going to get some water in your mouth . You're going to choke because you're going to feel like you're going to drown . But I promise you , I promise you , I promise you , I promise you , hear me . I promise you , I promise you , you won't drown . You will not drown .

You may go down and they'll get to a point where you get so tired and you feel like I can't do this anymore and somehow you're going to come to and be on your back . The You're going to be on your back . The universe , the waves will have flipped you on your back and now here you are , floating . You don't even have to swim right now .

Get your energy , gather your energy , get your mind right , get your finances right , get yourself in order , do your healing , do whatever you need to do , and the universe is going to just hold you in that place until you're ready to have enough energy for you to act like it . I , I'm telling you the creator creates creation . The actor acts action .

You , my friend , are it . You got it . You got it . You got it already . You got it . You got it already . It ain't about the money , it ain't about the job , it wasn't about the house . It's about that was going to help you to create this new version of you . That was the motivation for you to go and do it .

So I have to say this to you because this quote , unquote chance encounter with this young man taught me more about myself in those three minutes that gave me permission to act like it , because the same thing I told this young man that I saw myself at 20 . That's the same thing that my future self would be saying to me right now .

So , whatever you would say To that one in the past , whatever you would say to that young person who you're looking to inspire , inspire , inspire In means . You already have it . It came inherent with you . Spire comes from the Latin root spire , the same Latin root as spirit .

The infinite part of you , the real part of you , the creator part of you , know that whatever inspiration you would give somebody else would be the same inspiration that future self is going to give you right now . You already got it . My friend . You already got it . Now act like it . Act got it Now . Act like it . Act like it .

Stop playing small with yourself . Stop questioning like what if ? Act like it . Step out on that water like Peter did . Walk out on that water . Walk out on that water and see and see what happens . I always say , look , I'm going to walk out on this water , I'm going to walk out on it .

I'm going to walk because I want to see how real these fears really are . So now it's a battle between me and these fears . I want to see if you really who you say you are . I'm going to check you . You always checking me . Fear , fear is always making us run . Why don't we turn around and make fear run ? You make fear run . Guess what ?

Fear is going to back down and now you're going to see how powerful you really are and you're going to see that those fears didn't actually exist . Right now , I'm the end of 2025 . Right now , 2024 was great . It was a beautiful year , a lot of healing . It did its job . I'm preparing for 2026 . Right now , you can have it all . You can do anything .

It doesn't matter what it is . Your responsibility is to act like it as always . I wish you nothing but the best on the pathway to your results . You .
