Motivational Monday Week 24

Good Morning 🚀,

Thank you for waking up this morning and being here in this present moment. Your presence is truly a gift, and I am grateful to have you here. You are deserving of everything you want out of this life my friend. Don’t forget it!

I'm writing to you from a guest bedroom in Florida, reflecting on the past week. Last Friday marked a significant milestone for me as I graduated with a bachelor's degree in Audio Production. While it was initially a joyous occasion, I found myself with mixed emotions on the journey to my graduation ceremony.

As I stood in line to register myself and collect tickets for my family, I couldn't help but feel a bit of sadness realizing that there were more tickets than attendees for me. I saw all of the other graduates standing around taking pictures with their family. In that moment, I allowed myself to dwell on feelings of inadequacy and loneliness, focusing on those who were not there rather than appreciating those who were.
​

However, I made an entire choice to shift my perspective cause respectfully…

Instead of being hyper focused on who wasn't there, I chose to be present and focus on those who showed up for me – my best friend and my wife. Their unquestioning support and unconditional love meant more to me than any number of attendees. Also, I got the opportunity to connect with my fellow graduates and finally experience the campus in person (I was an online student).

This experience reminded me of the importance of gratitude and perspective. This weeks message is all about how it’s easy to get caught up in what we lack, but true fulfillment comes from appreciating the abundance that surrounds us – the relationships, the moments of connection, and the support of those who stand by us.

So, as we navigate this week, I encourage you to focus on the people who consistently show up for you, who uplift and support you on your journey. Embrace the present moment, put effort into the connections you have, and continue to pursue your hopes and dreams.

Together, let's make this week a dope one, not by chance, but by choice. I’ll see y’all next week and don’t forget to press play on that’s mix below. It’s a replay from another one of my favorite motivational mixes, Enjoy!

Next week I’ll have a fresh mix for y’all.
