Life Is a Mirror

Think of your life as a movie and you're the one who's writing the script . Or we can think of your life as a mirror . And what you're writing , what you're telling yourself , what you're believing in the inner thoughts , the things that nobody ever knows about , this is what your movie's writing . Sorry , this is what your movie's playing .

So when we start thinking of your inner world here's where your inner world is is when you close your eyes , and the thoughts and the feelings and the emotions and all those things that are brewing inside , this is the inner world . That is what's creating your outside reality . That is what's creating your outside reality .

That is what's creating your outside reality . It's when you close your eyes or you're in a closed room . You're by yourself in those thoughts . It doesn't matter what it is . That is what's creating your reality . Not the thing , not the masks that we wear , not the personas , not the personalities that we create for the public . That's not creating it .

It's when no one's around . When you find out bad news , how you react . When you get that bill and you look at your bank account , you wonder oh no , that's what's creating your reality .

It's the inner world and sometimes and I'll be at fault for this Sometimes , when people talk about the inner world and the outer world's a reflection on the inner world , they never really break down what the inner world is . The inner world is that those parts of you that nobody knows , the unconscious parts of ourselves , right ?

I'm reading a book called the World is a Mirror . The world is a mirror . The world is a mirror . I'm going to read an excerpt from it . I'm going to read an excerpt from it because it hit differently when I read it . It hit different . It said believe in yourself and know for a fact that if you know something , it has no choice but to be true .

Knowing this is the most powerful technique and the fastest one to work . When you know something , it is instantly a fact . I'm going to say this one more time for the people in the back Believe in yourself and know for a fact that if you know something , it has no choice .

But to be true , Knowingness is the most powerful technique and the fastest one to work . When you know something , it is instantly a fact . So that's the game changer . That's the game changer you had to know . You had to know that this life was nothing more than a reflection of whatever I commanded to it . Whatever I command , it has no choice .

It has no choice but to mirror it . It does not have a choice . It does not have a say . And here's what we have to be open to . Because it doesn't have a say , it's going to present itself in any way that it can . It's going to present itself in any way that it can .

The question is are you going to be aware of it , to realize when it comes to you ? And I started to ask myself okay , so I need to know myself , because the better I know myself , the better I can start to consciously create . How well do I know myself ? So I started to interview myself . I started to ask myself these questions who are you ? What are you ?

Why are you ? Why are you this way ? Why do you have these thoughts ? Why do you have this perspective , all of this interrogation of me understanding myself , because the Greeks said it best know thyself . When you know thyself , you don't need to depend on anybody to tell you who you're not .

When I know myself , I can know now what I want , instead of the unconscious part of me wanting something out of desperation , wanting something out of fear , wanting something out of filling a void within myself that actually was an illusion . Oh , I want this . So then I'll be enough . I want this relationship . Then I'll be enough , then I'll be accepted .

When I know myself , I can trust myself . So now I trust my decision-making . You see how this works . I trust my decision-making . I roll with the mistakes Somebody said to me today . They said oh , I'm just mad at myself because I made a mistake . They don't understand what mistake is . Mistake ain't nothing but tuition . That's all it is .

The universe say I'll give you everything , but do you not know that we have to have mistakes Because your butt got to pay ? You're going to have to pay for what I'm going to give to you . There's going to be a transaction . You want this ? Okay , cool , I'll give it to you . Here's how you pay With mistakes .

That is the tuition that we pay , so we can learn Every time that you learn , you know just a little bit more . When you know just a little bit more , you upgrade your awareness . When you upgrade your awareness , you extend your , you expand your frequency . Do we see how this works ? Do you see ?

So now , if what I want is , on that frequency , what I got to do ? I got to go through the mistakes , I got to go through the failure , I got to go through the hardship , I got to go through the struggle , I got to go to setback . The question is are you going to give up ? Are you going to stop ?

Are you going to say , oh my gosh , I'm so tired I can't do this ? Or are you going to have this mindset of nah , I'm either going to do it or I'm going to die doing it ? I'm either going to do it or I'm going to die doing it . And you know what , when you get to this place , you don't need no support . I'm going to figure this out .

That's what we call them dogs . That's what we call a dog mentality . I'm going to figure it out . I'm going to figure this out . That's what we call them dogs . That's what we call a dog mentality . I'm going to figure it out . I'm going to figure it out . But what if I'm going to figure it out ? Yeah , but they said you can't .

Okay , that was just a perspective . I'm the creator of my reality . I'm creating my reality . I'm going to sit here and fall for this bullshit . I fell for that for like 30 something years . But intuitively , deep down , I just knew is this reality really real as what they've told me , or am I literally creating this reality ? I can literally create .

Let's create this mother . Let's do it the way we want this time . I don't know how long I'm going to live . Maybe I got till 60 , 70 , 80 , 50 , 40 . I don't know . But for this back , half it's mine , it's mine . You may be 30 , it's mine , it's mine . You may be 30 , 20 . I don't know how old you are . Create it the way you want .

Create it the way you want . Know that it's just a mirror . If I smile this mother , it ain't got no choice but to smile back . It has to smile back . It has to smile back . You know , when you look in that mirror . That's why you look at that mirror , because the mirror is going to reflect you whatever you are . This is what life is .

This is what life is . It's going to reflect you back to what you are , but it's the inner part that nobody has to see . So you can go out here and fake the funk . You can go out here and fake the funk and act like you're . No , yeah , I'm this , I'm that .

But deep down inside , when you get back home , you cry and you cry and you cry and you feel insecure and you don't feel like you're enough . That's what's creating the reality on the outside . So it's trying to tell you we just got work to do , that's all . It's not bad . It's not bad . The mistakes aren't bad . The fact that it's not happening isn't bad .

The universe is just trying to tell you you just got work to do , you're just not there yet . My son the other day he was playing an AAU game . I love coaching these little kids because it's like I'm like you think I'm coaching basketball . I'm not coaching basketball , I'm coaching life . I'm just using basketball as the resource , as the means .

That's all I'm doing . I'm trying to . While I'm coaching , I'm like dang , that's like life . Oh , that's like life . My son kept getting blocked by this dude . Right , we're playing sixth grade . He's in fifth grade . We're playing sixth grade . First of all , I don't even know if he was really in sixth grade .

He looked like he was probably about 15 years old , but he kept getting blocked , kept getting blocked , kept getting blocked . I said , brother , you , you going to keep getting blocked , you ain't going to do nothing different , you just going to keep doing the same thing . You going to keep doing the same thing , expecting a different result .

What do they call that Insanity ? Right , and he looked at me . He goes , but I said it's not working . It's not working and that's okay . We're going to have to be able to pivot . So why am I saying this ? We use basketball right now for life . You got to be able to pivot in life . Sometimes what you're doing just isn't working . That's okay .

The reason why it's not working ? Because life is trying to say , hey , you're not at that frequency anymore . We got to keep it moving . Let's make a hard left right here . The question is are you going to be willing to let go of the old so you can usher in the new , because life is constantly evolving ?

The third law of this universe , the third law of this universe , is the law of vibration , saying that everything is constantly vibrating , everything's constantly in change . The question is are you going to be willing to let go of what was . See , the ego wants you to stay on that same path .

The ego wants you to keep go ahead and keep shooting that same shot and keep getting blocked . Nah , we're going to have to pivot . In order to pivot , though , I'm going to be a little bit uncomfortable , I'm going to have a little bit of doubt . Am I going to be able to make this ? I'm going to have to shoot this with this other hand .

I'm not comfortable with this other hand , but this is how you develop , so , develop . So , my son , I'm like yo , you got to give a hezy . You can't just come here and just keep shooting the same thing . Get the big man a hezy , get around him . You have to lay it with the left .

Maybe he's like , yeah , but my , you see the universe trying to force you to develop something that was undeveloped . Good God , almighty , y'all ain't trying to hear me . So this is why the mistakes keep happening . The universe trying to say , hey , this isn't working , this ain't working , you're going to have to try something different .

But if you try something different , do you not know you're going to have something else in your bag ? Now You're going to be able to lay this up . Now you got to left with it . Oh my gosh , the world is just a mirror . It's going to be whatever you say , it is on the inside .

So when you have that moment of doubt , when you have that thing , that's like , oh my goodness , this is a dead end . Let this be a sign . Here's my opportunity . Good God , almighty , here I am now in this big dude's about to block me . Here's my opportunity . Good God , almighty , here I am now in this big dude's about to block me . Here's my chance .

The question is am I unconsciously going to do what I've been doing that has not been working , or am I consciously going to make the adjustment Adjustment , the adjustment ? You see that word Adjustment Just means to rectify Adjustment , adjustment . You hearall ain't trying to hear me right now . Y'all ain't trying to hear nothing .

I'm saying the adjustment is needed anytime that you have a mistake . The mistake was the tuition . Take this universe , matter of fact , here here's a couple bands right there . You got that . You take that , boom , got it . Okay , now I got to adjust . I got to adjust now what I got to do differently . You see that reflection . You see that .

You see I'm asking what do I have to do differently , because the opportunity is going to come again for you to try it again . Good God , almighty , you're going to get another chance . You're going to get another chance . You're going to get another chance , but you got to apply what you've learned . Y'all ain't trying to hear me .

Oh my gosh , I'm speaking to somebody . Right now . I'm speaking to somebody . I don't know who this is . Right now . I don't know who this is . I'm telling you you're going to get another chance at it . You're going to get another chance . You're going to get another chance . You're going to get another chance .

You're going to get another chance , but don't go back up there shooting that same floater . You won't get blocked . Give it something else . Give it something else , just try it .

Just try it Because , through you trying it , in order for you to try something new , that meant you would have had to have create a newer version of yourself , and that was the universe's goal all to begin with . It only wanted you to continue to evolve and to become something more than what you are right now , because it's divine nature is creation .

It can't not create . It can't . You have to develop a new name for it . You may have to get a new tattoo . You may have to have a new hairstyle . I don't know what you have to do , but you got to be okay with when the universe is trying to say oh , my goodness , girl , become all that . You can Be something new . Please be something new .

We try , and do we not know that everything , that mansion , that house , that car , that relationship , that bank account , that health , that happiness , that peace , it's just waiting for you . But who you are today can't go there . Who you are , can't go there , it can't go there .

I was in a meditation yesterday and I was told you're no longer Derek , you are DG . And I cried and I cried and I cried and I cried and I cried and I cried . I said thank you , derek , thank you , you , thank you , thank you Derek , thank you Derek , thank you Derek , thank you Derek . You have done a wonderful job of getting us to here .

But let's go do this now . It's time , dg , it's time DG , it's time . It's time , dg , let's go do it . Let's go do it , let's go do it , let's go do it , let's go do it . May this be permission for you . May this be permission for you to go and do it . And here's the beauty of it Life ain't got no choice . It ain't got no choice .

It ain't got no choice . It ain't got no choice but the mirror . It ain't got no choice when you step into that energy of knowing . No choice , it ain't got no choice . But to mirror , it ain't got no choice when you step into that energy of knowing . This is why the Bible always used faith .

This is why every religion , every content , it was trying to tell you this . It just wanted you to step out on faith . It wanted you to step on faith because faith was what preceded knowing . If I can believe something enough that's what faith was If I can believe a positive outcome enough , I'll know that it's going to happen .

And when you know that it's going to happen , this is when this field , this reality , your life , the mirror , the movie , the book , has to correspond to it . So you notice , with the laws of this universe , the second law was law of correspondence .

The third law was the law of vibration , meaning whatever was happening on the inside , it was going to correspond on the outside , as within , so without , as above so below . Look what the third law was right behind it the law of vibration .

It's saying who you are on the inside has to correspond on the outside , but no , right up on behind that there's going to have to be some change . There's going to have to be some change . But here's what we want . We want the end result , but we're not willing to change . You got to let go of the old Step into knowing Test life .

Life's always testing you . You test life , test life . Walk out on the water . That's probably enough for now . You probably got what you needed . Finish it , go , do it . Go do it Go . Smile at life . Go , smile at it , go , release and let go of those things that kept you from smiling .

Good God , almighty , let go of those things inside of you , the versions of yourself that were created out of fear , that were created out of trauma , that were created out of scarcity , that were created out of oh no , how am I going to do this ? Let them die , let them go , release them , heal them . Let them die .

Let them go , release them , heal them , let them go . Let them go and watch what life does . Watch what life does . Watch what life does . I promise you on everything I've ever loved and the old folks used to say I swear on everything Life has no choice but to correspond . I must go now . I must go now . You must go . We got work to do .

Know that I love you , Know that you matter , and please know I'm going to see you at the top and I can't wait to give you a hug when we get there . And , as always , I wish you nothing but the best on the pathway to your results . You .
