Once you see what you actually are , that you're an infinite , limitless being , you'll see that nothing exists outside of you . I'm your host , derek Grant , and this is the pathway to your results podcast . Ladies and gentlemen , welcome to the Pathway Results Podcast . It is your boy , dg . We are here live at InEffect . I'm look , I just have to .
I don't have to , I guess , but I want to . I have the desire to dispel kind of this myth , especially around the new age community , around this thing that we refer to as abundance , right and really breaking down what abundance is .
Because I know for me , initially on this journey of refining my mindset and developing a new perspective and new paradigm , I got conditioned to believe that , like reading all these books of Esther Hicks and Abraham Hicks and asking it will be given , and all these spiritual books that talk around like manifestation etc .
I got conditioned to believe that abundance was like some type of quality or skill that had to be acquired . And you know , my intention with this , with this episode , is to get you really to understand that , like you can't acquire abundance , it's can't be obtained .
Somebody said to me the other day like yeah , my one of my goals in 2024 is to is to obtain abundance . I'm like , well , good luck , you ain't going to obtain abundance . That's not the way this thing works .
I'm going to break this down , kind of really what abundance is , and I'm going to go with kind of deeper into the spiritual side and kind of throw you a bone to give you a book that maybe you can start looking into to understand really this thing that we call abundance .
But let's first start off with really what abundance is so you can have a better understanding of it , because here's the reality of it . What I find with a lot of people is we try , and we basically try to do things but we don't really understand how it works .
So now you can only get to a certain level because you don't have the awareness of really how it works for you to get to the next level of that thing , of whatever it is . So we'll use abundance as an example . I can't really have a life of abundance if I don't really understand what abundance is .
But I'm going to break down really what it means and what it is , and this is the question that I ask myself . Growing up , my mom , when I would read , she'd make me read . My mom was an educator so she would make me read in front of her during the summer . So all the kids are outside playing , I'd have to read .
When we go on vacations , I'd have to write a book report or a report on what the vacation was . So my mom was constantly preaching education . But when I would read to her , I would get to a word and if I didn't know the word , I kind of like try to skip over it and I couldn't really pronounce it . She's like do you know what that word means ?
And I'd be like no . She'd be like okay , go get the dictionary now Go get the , the thesaurus . And she would make me look up the word . And I find myself now doing this , because here's why Knowledge is power . Knowledge is power when you have an understanding of something , a deeper level of comprehension , now you can actually use that thing as a tool .
So I say that because really understanding what abundance is is the first and foremost thing . So if we look at the definition of abundance right , if we look at the definition , it says a very large quantity of something , a very large quantity of something . So that's the definition of it .
But I like to go a little bit deeper and look at the etymology of a word . Right , the etymology is basically the root or the beginning of the death . And sorry , the etymology of abundant comes from the Latin root abundare , which means overflowing , overflowing . So here's what I have to say Okay , these are , these are basically the foundation of it .
So I went to the spiritual side . Right , I'm in a meditation , deep meditation . I'm like what is abundance ? What is it ? And all of a sudden , these beings , these , this presence , comes around me and they say abundance is the recognition that you have everything that is needed . I could probably get off right now and we can go ahead and call it a day .
Abundance is the recognition that you have everything that is needed , needed for tomorrow no , tomorrow does not exist . Needed for yesterday no , yesterday is gone . That's just a mental concept needed for right now , now now , now now . Now , that's it , that's it . So here's why I say you can't obtain abundance , because abundance is now , it's here .
So it's the recognition of seeing you know I got everything that I need . Do I have what I would want ? No , I don't . And that's the issue .
¶ The Illusion of Lack and Abundance
Mentally , our ego , the unconscious mind , creates these , basically illusions , or these desires that we have been programmed to want . I'm supposed to have a certain amount of money , I'm supposed to have a certain size house , I'm supposed to look a certain way . I'm supposed it's all of these collective conscious programs that then here's what ends up happening .
We believe that because we don't have that right now , we're not abundant . So I'm going to tell you this here's what I recognize in my own life . I had this perpetual cycle of never feeling like I had enough , never feel like I have enough . You look at the bank account I ain't got enough . You look at the followers I ain't got enough .
It was always not enough , not enough , not enough , not enough , not enough . So we know that lack is the opposite of abundance . The reason why you have a lacking mindset , or you're looking at it from a poverty state of consciousness , the reason why is because enough can only exist in the present moment . But the ego puts enough out there .
So I'll have enough when I get here . I'll have enough when I make this . Do you see what's happening ? You're putting it out there , but the reality of it is the opposite . Energy of abundance is lack . So , of course , if lack is going to be in the quote , unquote future of the past , that means that abundance could only exist in the present moment .
Good God , almighty , y'all ain't trying to hear me right now . Y'all ain't trying to hear me . You're not trying to hear me . Abundance is now . It's the recognition that everything that you've ever needed excuse me , everything that you've ever needed , you have it right now , right now , right now , not tomorrow . So do you have enough money for tomorrow ?
Absolutely not . You ain't got enough money for tomorrow , but we know that tomorrow actually does not exist , because when you get there tomorrow , guess what ? It's just going to be another now . So here's my advice , here's my recommendation . I can never tell you what to do .
All I can do is just provide another perspective for you to hopefully see the picture from a more universal or more enlightened state of mind . It's about you recognizing that in this moment you have all of the money that you need In this moment . You have the health at the moment Sorry at the vibration that is needed for right now .
Your children are exactly the way they are supposed to be right now . Your house is the size it should be right now . Your current circumstances are the exactly what it's supposed to be right now . It is your responsibility to recognize this . To recognize this See how it says re cog .
Re means to do over cognize , because at some level , at some point , you had already known this . This is why I said I study children . I study my own children . I started all children . I'm around because children only live in abundance . They recognize that I got everything that I need right now . I ain't got to worry about tomorrow .
I got to worry about right now . If I only focus on right now , I ain't got nothing to worry about . Y'all ain't trying to hear me right now ? Ain't nobody trying ? I should get off right now . Stop looking at your life and looking at what you do not have tomorrow .
Stop looking at what you did not have yesterday and start looking at what you do have right now . This takes conscious , intentional action . Ain't nobody going to do it for you ? I'm going to tell you right now . I look , I'm really talking to myself right now because I remember .
I remember , I remember four years ago when I was living in the state of victim consciousness because I thought , for some reason , something or someone was going to come and save me .
I had so many bruises on my knees because I'd get down and pray God please help me , god please just make it go away , god please just deliver me from the evil , and I'd say here and pray and pray and pray , and pray and pray . You know why ? Because I failed to realize that I was the one that was creating this mess in my life .
I failed to accept responsibility and accountability , for everything that was going on right now was purely mind made by the unaware thing that we refer to as the ego . So the situation that was happening , the fact that I had quote unquote lost everything that wasn't actually the issue .
The issue was the ego had created the fear that by losing everything today , I would not have enough tomorrow .
¶ Recognizing Abundance in the Present Moment
Do you see how this works ? So it's about us recognizing and seeing that yo , I got everything that I need right now . Here's the problem . The ego confuses or makes you think that what you want is the equivalent of what you need .
Y'all ain't trying to hear me , good guy , I don't want to start preaching , but I don't look , I got to do it right now because there's , there's , there's . We said we get . We get told we live in an abundant universe . Everything is abundant , abundance is .
Abundance is as soon as you make the choice to recognize that you already had everything that you needed in this moment in space and time that we have referred to as the present moment . And now , until you start to do that , you will not see that everything in your life is exactly the way it's supposed to be , just as it is .
That's not to say that it won't change . That's not to say that you won't evolve . That's not to say that there won't be a newer version of you that can , can create at will . That's not . It's not saying that . It's saying , at this moment , everything's exactly the way it's supposed to be , just as it is . And I failed to recognize this in this moment .
I failed to recognize this four years ago that everything was exactly the way it was , and the reason why is because I thought something or someone was going to rectify the situation . So , step one you can't see the abundance in your life until you take care of the tool that's going to be able to see it . This is what we refer to as your mind .
Your mind was the thing that allowed you to see the abundance in your reality , and the reason why it had to be the mind , because the mind was the thing that kept you from seeing it . The abundance existed before your mind got programmed . The abundance in this universe has always been here and always will be here , do you see ?
So I told you that I study children . I study my children , I study my children's friends . You know , kids come over to the house and I just kind of study them and they ain't worry about nothing . They ain't worry about nothing . But right now I tell my son hey , you better put some shoes on . You're going to step on something .
You got to put some shoes on . You're going to go out here and play . You know you might step on a twig , at a splinter or something . Sure enough , you'll step on a splinter . But he ain't worried about that right now . He ain't worried about what could happen , he's worried about only right now .
I'm just going to go out here and play football with my friends and enjoy this thing that we call life . Now I'm telling you , don't go out and just , you know , do something crazy and not think about what has to be done . But here's my point how much different would your life be if you didn't have to worry about tomorrow ?
How much more would the quality of life increase if you never had to give any thought into fears ? How much better would your life be if you didn't have to worry about how much money you're going to have in the account after you pay your bills tomorrow ? Think about this . What if you could let that go ? So here's what I started doing .
Okay , here's what I started doing . I started to look at my life and all the places were worry , fear , anxiety , stress or regret , shame , guilt came up and I started to see that there was a pattern here . It was never happening in the present moment . So it I was experiencing in the present moment , but my mind wasn't actually present .
So I felt regret and shame , not because I was actually experiencing in that moment of what was happening right now . It was because I was still holding on to old narratives that had happened in the past .
I was still holding on to the identities and the identification of the ego had built in attachment , had built its house around in the quote unquote past , and all the things that I was afraid of in the future were really just programs that was programmed by my parents in the past .
Whether it's a limited mindset or poverty consciousness or the fear of you better save because you might not have enough tomorrow , that was what was projecting into the future . So I wasn't actually experiencing this thing called poverty in the future . I wasn't experiencing not having quote unquote enough in the present moment .
It was based on the mind projecting it off into the future . Do you see how this works ? So I started to not start too bad just from working with so many people . We don't . We don't even get taught . I see how many people don't know how your mind actually works . You don't understand how your ego actually works .
So the reason why I'm telling you this is because this is the . This is really what it comes down to . Your ego can only live in the future . It can only live in the past . But the past and the future don't actually exist outside of your mind . You have only lived life where the present moment is .
The present moment is where your feet are , where your body is . The key was to bring your mind back to that point . When you do this , you will see abundance . You will experience abundance . You will see it with these new eyes and realize that abundance has always been here . I have always had enough .
If you look back in your life , those moments when you were wondering where you're going to make it to the next day , you made it to the next day because you will always be supplied with everything that you need in this present moment . Jesus was telling you all this . Jesus , jesus not telling you this . Did Buddha not say this ?
Did Krishna not Krishna not say this ? You ain't had to worry about tomorrow , for tomorrow was going to worry about itself . It was about you focusing on everything , everything that you had in this moment . So stop saying you're going to be abundant .
Every time that you say that you're going to be abundant and you're going to live an abundant life , you're missing out on the abundance that's happening only in this sliver that we call right now . This is super challenging to obtain sorry , not obtain to recognize , because it's happening moment to moment to moment .
If you notice what the present moment is , it's that it's a moment . Just when the present moment is here , it's gone and the new , present moment is coming in and it's constantly , in a fraction of a second , creating a new moment . The paradoxal effect is , this is a new opportunity each time For you to recognize the abundance .
So I was in a meditation this morning . I started kind of really playing around with this because I knew I was going to do a podcast episode on it and I looked at nature Nature now I study , I study animals a lot , quite a bit . I love animals .
I always had a an Affinity for animals , whether it's lions , or you know crocodiles , or you know insects , whatever it is . I'm the guy who's watching National Geographic and animal , animal planet . You can learn a lot from nature , because nature is nature is natural . Nature is abundant . It's abundant . It never goes without .
It will always resupply because nature is only existing in the now moment . So never do these lions that endure three , four , five months of drought in Africa , never do they walk around stressed out . Never do they walk around like , oh my goodness , what are you gonna do ? Here's what they end up doing . They only focus on right now . I got to eat .
I have to go hunt . Did you know ? I got to look this stat up because I don't think people really realize this here . Let me , let me just look this up right here . Um , all right , I'm gonna look this up real quick . Okay , a lion right , we say the lion's the king of the jungle . Okay , a lion's success rate is between 27 and 34 . 27 and 34 .
Imagine this you go to sit down for dinner or you sit down to eat and you only eat 27 percent of the time . But think about that . Let's just say you eat 100 meals . Sorry , you sit down for 100 meals and you only eat 27 of them . In our human mind we would deem that as a failure .
But here's why a lion is able to get up and hunt again and again and again . After 80 percent was 70 percent of time . It doesn't kill . The reason why ? It's because it doesn't look at the fact that it didn't kill anything . It doesn't look at it from a state of lack .
The reason why you're not able to hit goals , the reason why you're not able to really tap into the true potential of that , what you actually are , this abundant soul that is infinite . The reason why is because we've been conditioned and programmed to look at what you aren't doing , what you don't have , what isn't going right in your life .
I'm telling you right now 2024 is the year of abundance . Good God , almighty , you ain't trying to hear me . Not in abundance so that you're gonna have more money . Not in abundance that you gonna Create , create all of these material things . It's the year of abundance of you recognizing that you had everything that you already needed in this moment .
So stop worrying about whether or not you're gonna have enough for tomorrow . Stop worrying about whether or not you're gonna be able to pay this bill . How about this ? Why don't you live in the energy of abundance , of recognizing Shit ? I ain't gotta worry about tomorrow , because tomorrow ain't even here yet . I'm just gonna focus on right now .
Right now , if you can come from that vibration , watch what happens tomorrow . They ain't trying to hear me . They are not trying to hear me right now . You might as well go ahead and get off , because I know you ain't trying to hear what I'm saying right now . Start looking at your life right now .
Start reflecting and how little maybe you missed out on the abundance that has just been here waiting for you
¶ Recognizing Abundance and Shifting Mindset
. So I was in this meditation and I'm . I'm in this body , right and I step and there's like a gateway and the door opens forward . You know , most of the time when we , when we walk in somewhere , we pull a door open , but the door open forward , I said whoa .
That in and of itself was a subliminal subconscious message of letting me know that the door of abundance is always going to be opening towards where you're going Towards , where you're going to be .
So I step out and I walk into this doorway and the doorway opens up in the vastness of this entire cosmic universe and I'm sitting here looking at it , saying , oh my goodness , look at all of this stuff that is here . Look at the galaxies , look at the nebulas , look at the black holes , look at the planets , look at the stars .
All of these things are open up . They're open up right in front of me . I'm sitting here looking . I'm like this is . This is abundance . It's the recognition of what is going on right now . This is all here . It's all here waiting for you .
But if you stuck in the past and you sit here worried about the future , you go miss about , you go miss out on everything you already had right now . Now I this . This , this concept is so simple . It's so simple , but here's why it's so challenging . It's challenging because you don't realize why you can't see the present moment .
You don't realize why you can't live from a state of abundance .
The reason why , for 30 something years of my life , I lived in a pover's mindset , it was because my program , my subconscious , was programmed by some programmers , ie my parents , who grew up in a different time , where maybe they didn't have what they quote-unquote wanted , where they didn't know where their next meal was coming , when they didn't know where they were
going to be living next year . So now guess what their program is rooted in ? The foundation of fear . What are we gonna do next ? What are we gonna do ?
So now this gets programmed on to me , so I have a wound that I got to go back and repatch .
I have a wound that I have to go back and tell the child in me who worried about what if we don't do this , or what if I have to go back and affirm it and let it know Yo , you have everything that you need right now . You have everything that you need right now .
I know you probably don't have everything that you want , but you got everything that you need because here's the slippery part of the ego . The ego will make you think that a want was a need , because it develops attachment to the want . It makes you think that the want is a need . A need is nothing more than a survival tool .
So you have everything that you need in this moment , right now , if you can hear me , right now , you have everything that you need . Today's episode is sponsored by Life is Mental University . Unlock the power of your mind with courses designed to transform your life .

Enroll today at LifeIsMentaldgmindsetcom and take the first step towards a better you . Listen to me when I say this , if you can hear me , right now you have everything that you need . You needed blood in your veins , you needed oxygen in your lungs , you needed conscious awareness . You have everything right now .
Now , do you have that million dollars sitting in the bank ? Maybe not . Do you have that shiny new car that you wanted ? Maybe not . Do you have that spouse or that partner that loves you unconditionally ? Maybe not . But these were all wants , they were all desires . So it's important for us to recognize Is this a desire or is this a need ?
If it's a need , it's already been supplied , because nothing in this universe , nothing in this universe , no thing in this universe that is needed is not already supplied . Good God , almighty , you ain't trying to hear me . I can go right now to my closet . I got a bag of acorns sitting in there .
I got about 30 acorns sitting in there and , as crazy as it may seem , I will sit and just stare at these acorns . You know why ? Because that acorn is nothing more than a metaphorical representation of me and everyone else . This acorn has already got the technology for it to be a big oak tree . It already has it inside of it . We can use the caterpillar .
The caterpillar already had the technology inside of it for it to become a butterfly . It did not need anything in order for it to become what it's going to be . Do you see ? You do not need anything for you to become all that you're going to be .
You already had it supplied inside of you , but the only way for you to see it was to recognize and affirm that you already had it . So now Mark 11 , 24 from the Bible hits a little bit differently , when Jesus said whatever ye ask for , believe that you have already received it . Believe that you have already received it .
Believe that you have already received it . I'm believing that I already received it , because everything that I needed for what I was asking for it would have had to have been supplied already , because everything that I need is already here . I already got it . Just because you can't see it doesn't mean that you don't have it . I'm done .
I should get off right . Just because you don't see it does not mean that you do not have it . Huh , this is the thing about consciousness Just because you can't see something , it's not in your conscious awareness , that didn't mean that you didn't have it . You just couldn't see it .
How many times you read a book and you're like dang , I know that was even in here . You go back and read it again . I go back and read books over and over and over again , because I know the book ain't going change . I'm going to change and as I change , I'm going to see just a little bit more . It's going to hit just a little bit differently .
It's going to get down in my spirit just a little bit more . So my point , my point , my point of this was getting you to recognize it's not about what was out there , it was about what I had right here . But you could only see right here from the level of your evolution . You could only see it from the level of your consciousness . Period , point blank .
So as you start to zoom out and you start to see that everything that's happening in your life is divinely orchestrated , everything that's in your life was exactly the way it's supposed to be .
Everything in your life is actually helping you to expand your self-awareness the only reason why I was helping you to see your self-awareness so you , my friend , could start to see the abundance that was already here . And when you start to see this abundance , guess what ends up happening . Everything that you touch quote unquote turns to gold .
Everything that you touch turns to gold , even if it turns to lead . You can't even see the lead anymore because you see it as an opportunity for you to work on your alchemical technique . It helps you refine your energies of being an alchemist .
It allows you , it allows you the opportunity for you to turn this lead situation , to turn this hardship , to turn this struggle , to turn this adversity into something that is working for you . Do you see ? This was all that the alchemist was . This is all what alchemy is . We call it the transmutation of energy . I can take any situation .
I can take any situation and I can turn that into gold . You hear me , I can take any situation and bring the positive out it , because I know that where there is a positive , a negative would have to exist . Where there is a problem , the solution has to exist . This is why it's so important for you to understand the laws of this universe .
That's just law number four , the law of polarity . I know , if I got a quote unquote bad situation , shh , the good has to exist as well . I got to have the good , because you can't have the bad without the good , do you see ?
So abundant abundance is your divine nature , but you can only find it when you find this thing that Yeshua Ben Yusuf was referring to as heaven . You will only find it when you find heaven , and you ain't gonna find heaven out there , you ain't gonna find heaven over there . That ain't what you're gonna find heaven , he told you .
He even said don't look over there , don't look over . He said do not look over there , do not look over here and , matter of fact , don't listen to the one who says it's over there , because they lie it . You were going to find it in this moment , in this moment that we call now , and when you find it , you will see that everything was there .
This is why everything was waiting for you in heaven , you see . You see now we're touching some stuff , right now .
You see that everything , when you get to heaven , when you find heaven , when you get there and I'm not talking about when you die when you find heaven in this thing that we call the present moment , you'll find that it was everything was waiting for . Why do you think ? Jesus told you it was harder to get in heaven .
It was harder for a rich man to get into heaven than it was for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle . Why do you think he said that ? Because you ain't gonna get to heaven over here attached to your material things . You ain't gonna find the present moment being attached to the material world . That wasn't where you were gonna find it .
Because only the ego good God , almighty only the ego was attached to the physical world . Only the ego was attached to money . Only the ego was attached to the past traumas . Only the ego was worried about what was going to be , but was I gonna have enough money ? The spirit never worried about it , but the spirit only existed in the present moment .
So this is why this is the esoteric understanding of . Well , you understand what heaven was . Heaven was waiting for you and this is why heaven , everything , it was lined with streets of gold , everything was there waiting for you , everything . Do you see why heaven was so abundant , excuse me , do you see why the present moment was so abundant ?
Because when you found it and you stayed there and you rested in it and you recognized it , you see that you had everything that you needed and that , my friends , is abundance . So this journey that I'm calling self-awareness , aka life , I'm just sharing it with you from my individual perspective . That's all . This is this podcast , this courses , retreats .
All I'm doing is sharing my evolution . I'm sharing my journey with you all . That's all it is . I'm sitting here , what I'm sharing with you is just stuff that I've been working on in myself . You see , everything that I'm doing is me .
So , therefore , if it's resonating with you , it's you as well , because we will only resonate that which is , we will only resonate with things that are actually inside of us . So the reason why I'm telling you this 2024 is the year of abundance . 2024 is the year of abundance .
2024 is the year of abundance , not abundance in the way that your collective subconscious has been programmed . Not that , not that abundance . It's the year of you recognizing that you already had everything that , everything that I need in this moment . I got it and I'm done questioning why .
I'm done getting mad at a higher power of whatever you would call it God , allah , brahmin , whatever you would refer to , that's your higher self . I'm done questioning why this is happening to me . I'm done questioning how come they left me . I'm done questioning , oh my gosh , why . I'm done , I'm finished .
Instead , it's what is this trying to show me in this moment that I just didn't recognize ? What is this trying to get me to heal ? What trigger is this bringing up out of me that I need to deal with ASAP so I can start to recognize that that situation actually helped me to better understand myself just a teeny little bit more .
So now , now that I see that I'm using this situation in the moment , now so now , this situation was never working against me , it was working for me . Why ? Because everything that is here and brought to you right now was for you . It was for you . It was divinely tailored , divinely tailored .
Imagine you know how we go to the tailor shop and we get our suits tailored . I got a three-piece suit from Italy and it fits just me . It don't fit nobody
¶ Embracing Abundance and Revamping Your Mindset
else . You got to start thinking about your life the same way . Everything in your life was literally divinely tailored for you . In your specific experience that you are calling life , it was just yours . It was just yours . So stop questioning what comes to you in your life . Stop questioning why is it happening to me ? You need to start recognizing shh .
This is for me . This is for me to help me to heal and bring awareness to the parts of me that kept me from seeing what I actually am and what I have in this moment that we call now . So I'm sorry if my , if my energy was just .
I didn't want you to think that I was coming down on you , I'm talking down to you or anything , but I'm just telling you right now hey , we're not playing no more small games anymore . We're done , we're finished . That was , that was the old life . That was the old life . The new life . The new life is Going to see the abundance in everything .
The abundance in everything . And I'm gonna tell you this the way you've been programmed I don't even have to know you the way we have been programmed we have been programmed to see the lack in everything . We have been programmed to see the limitations in everything . This podcast is gonna go a little longer because I ain't gonna stop .
I got to keep going here . If you just look at our society , what do we do ? Debt , uh , credit scores , limit , everything is subconsciously programming you to see the lack in something . Everything , everything , everything is literally showing you the lack , the limit , whether it's time , whether it's money , whether it's health , whether it's . Look at everything .
They put a mortality rate on us . Y'all about maybe start cussing you . Somebody said , with the average , that they tell us what our mean . Our mortality rate is 70 . How you gonna tell me how long I'm a live ? You can't tell me how long I'm a live . How you gonna do that ? You can't . You .
You with that white coat on you cannot sit here and tell me how long I'm gonna live . You cannot sit here and put lacks and limitations on me . Talking about you , you , you have this gene and this is hereditary .
Well , don't you know that genes can literally transform , that genes literally can be , that you can Recode your DNA based on your environment , your inner world , your thoughts , your emotions , your feelings ? This is simple epigenetics . But we don't realize that we are consciously programmed to see the lack in situations .
I'm telling you right now , 2024 , if you're rolling with your boy , we ain't doing this , no more , stop looking . People send me DMs all the time talking about oh well , I wish I could come on your retreat or I wish I could afford it . You over here telling me what you can't do . I'm telling you to stop doing that . Live from the energy of .
I'm gonna figure out a way one day . Do you see the difference in that energy ? That takes just a little bit more energy and people gonna tell me , yeah , but it's hard . I Don't want to hear nothing about nothing being hard in 2024 . I don't want to hear that word hard .
I don't want to say I don't care if I see a piece of wood , I'm not gonna call it hard anymore . Hard just means it's going to take more Intentionality and it's going to take more energy . But I'm here to tell you you can already do it . I'm a living testament of it . I'm not speaking from a place of cuz I read it in a book .
I'm speaking from a place of experience and I , my friend , am no different than you . If I can do it . Good , god Almighty , I know you can do it . But it's going to take intentionality . It's going to take a Effort . It's going to take you putting enough energy into yourself , saying you know what ? I'm done looking at the lack in life .
I'm done looking at only a , looking at my limitations . I'm done living off of the program that has been programmed on me . I'm done with this . I'm finished . I did this when I was in high school . I got so tired of being inconsistent with basketball . I said I'm done , I'm finished , I'm a figure out , a way to be more consistent .
I was working on my mind before I even knew what I was doing . You can do this , my friend . You can do this . You can do this , and I hope that this podcast is not serving as motivation . That is the last thing that I want to do . I do not ever want to motivate you , and if I motivate you , I apologize in advance . That was never my intention .
I am not here to motivate you . I am here to inspire you . Inspire you in In spire , in means , inside that means . You already have it already . Inspiration is already laying dormant inside of you spire . Spire comes from the Latin root spy rare , which means is the same root as spirit .
I am here to help you awaken your spirit , so you can wake up and stop playing so doggone small . Stop looking at a million dollars and thinking a million dollars is a lot . A Million dollars is just a number , that's all it is . It's just a one with however many zeros come behind it . I don't even know what . One , two , what is this ?
Five zeros , six zeros ? I don't even know . It's not . It's just a number , that's all it is . Stop thinking that your weight is . Oh my gosh , if I could just get down you over here , looking at what you don't weigh . Why don't you look at what you do weigh . Why don't you look at where you are in life ? Why don't you look at good cuz ?
I can tell you this . You may think you weigh too much . I can take you over Africa right now . I've been there . I can take you to Africa and there's people who would do anything to have the weight that you have , because they don't know where the next meal is coming .
So stop looking so negatively on what you don't have and start looking more positively on what you do have . But that's gonna take some intentionality , that's gonna take some effort and really , what I'm speaking to you from right now , this is actually 2025 version of me . It's the 2025 version right now that is speaking to you right now .
I already finished 2024 . I was 2024 back in 2023 . What you saw in 2023 was what I was in 2022 . The internal world has already been created for 2025 . I'm out ahead of you right now . Not that I'm better than you . I'm coming from 2025 right now telling you this is what 2024 year is . It's the year of abundance . Stop looking at what you can't afford .
Stop looking at how little that you have . Stop looking at all the things that are going wrong in your life . It's gonna take some effort . It's gonna take some energy , but you can do this . You can do this and here's my advice to you Take it one moment at a time . One moment at a time , that's it .
If you have my number , if you talk to me , you ask me . You say how D ? How are you what I tell you ? Pay attention to what I say . Don't just ask it out for Mali . I tell you the same thing every time . I'm just taking it one day at a time .
That's all I'm doing one day at a time and really , if we want to break it down , I'm really just taking it one moment at a time . Now Don't get me wrong .
There's times when , when DG , the ego will start to run ramping , get caught up and maybe things in the past or maybe Project its fears in the future , but for the most part , I'm only focusing on right now and it's going to look like , oh well , he ain't doing anything . Oh , what is this ? What ? No , no , no no , no , no , no no .
I know that right here , in this moment , right now , I got everything that I need , and then I wait for the moment of now . I wait for the inspiration , I wait for the intuition , I wait for the download to come to me in this moment and then , then , I will make a move for the next move .
But my , my , my encouragement to you , my advice to you , it's make the change on the inside . Make the change on the inside . This is why this just came to me earlier this week , I was sitting here on a live , on an Instagram live , and I was like man , I gotta figure out what is what is . What is my thing ? What is my thing for 2024 ?
It was abundance . But to adopt truly an abundant mindset , you're gonna have to revamp some things within your wiring Revamp , revamp , revamp . So this is why I'm introducing revamp 90 to you Revamp 90 , 90 days . This is the way I take my life 90 days at a time , 90 days . I focus on right now , today , and I become locked in for 90 days , 90 days
¶ 90 Day Personal Transformation Revamp

I'm gonna take you all on leash . People are like , oh , when can I get in ? When can I get in ? When's the next on leash ? And they're like , no , on leash . On leash has revamped itself into revamped 90 . So you'll see the link in this podcast . Go ahead and get yourself signed up , because come January it's on and I'm not pulling away .
We're not pulling away , we're smashing the pedal to the metal . We're smashing it . There's gonna be some accountability . It's gonna sting a little bit . I'm gonna take the kid gloves off . I'm gonna shoot you straight . I'm gonna say yo , are you doing this , are you not doing this ?
I'm not doing it from a place of malice , I'm doing it from a place of getting you to see that it's going to be you stretching yourself , for you to revamp and create this new version of yourself . And here's the deal After 90 days I will guarantee you this you will see a new way of life . I can guarantee you this .
I'm gonna tell you a story real quick , and it's not because I'm bragging , it's not from a place of vanity . I'm doing this so I can quantify this in your physical world . People look at now , right , they say , oh , wow , wow , you're this , you're all these people . Oh , you're trending , you were all over .
I'm like , okay , cool , whatever , it's the internet , right , take it with a grain of salt . I look at and say , when , nobody paying attention .
When I was making them same videos for two years and I used to go over to my marketing director at the time her name was Alexa we'd go over to her house and we would sit there and she would film and we were doing it on TikTok at that moment , at the time . Then I'm sitting in TikTok what crazy . And Instagram wouldn't ? I had about 8,500 followers .
I made the decision 8,500 followers , it does not matter , but listen , for contextual purposes , I made the decision on January 1 of 2023 . I said . You know what , for the next 90 days , I'm going to live in the vibration and the frequency of the version of me that I want to become .
I want to become a global icon , not because for myself , because I want to get to a level that I would be able to help the masses that I would be able to help , no matter where you live . I would be able to help you to see what you had inside of you , and then you could go off and go help somebody else , right ? So I set this intention .
Now came the real work . I had to live and keep posting and making material when all of my family , when all of my friends thought I was crazy . What are you doing ? You're not this . Why are you sitting here talking like this ? This is not how we know you . I had to still keep doing it , even when nobody ever believed in it . Here's my point .
I'm not coming from the place of an ego saying there's the world against me . It did not matter , because I was too focused on revamping myself for these next 90 days . I was too focused on building a new version of myself and I just kept doing it , chopping my wood and carrying my water .
Chopping my wood and carrying my water , chopping my wood and carrying my water . And I told myself on January 1 , I just want to get to 10,000 followers .
Because some reason , for some reason in my mind , I had created this belief that if I got to 10,000 and your follower account said 10K , that would mean more to somebody else than if it said 8,500 and it had four numbers in it . So I said I just got to get to 10K . I got to get to 10K , but I didn't do it from a place of lack .
I had to do it from a place of I know I can do this , I know I can't . And here's what happened March 1st hit it was a Wednesday , I believe . My follower account was 9,700 . And I had told my wife I'd share this with her . I'm going to try not to get emotional here , because here's why .
She came to me and she said you did it , you did it , you did it . I said I did what . She said look , you got to 10,000 . I said no , I didn't , I got to 9,700 . What are you talking about ? I didn't do it . She said yeah , but if you round it up , that's 10,000 . Why am I saying ?
this Because the universe is going to give you , it's going to give you the opportunity , it's going to give you these blessings , these angels , these miracles that are going to come in to help you see it from a different life , from a different way of being . And by her saying that , I said , wow , I never thought about it like that . I did do it , I did .
And the next day , somebody I don't know who it was somebody over in Europe , got a hold of it , somebody got a hold of it and then social media blew up after that . Here's my point . It's not about me , it's not about social media , it's not that .
That was the irrelevant part , and if you got caught up caught up on that , I apologize for not articulating it better . The point of it was the transformation in the belief and the way of being that had to change in order for this to become
