WEBVTT100:00:01.720 --> 00:00:06.200Happy Sunday. Welcome to the Nuisand latest episode of your favorite podcast,200:00:06.200 --> 00:00:09.839that mind, currently under construction.You are enough who it is. It300:00:09.960 --> 00:00:13.240is your favorite host, that mind. I thank you so much for joining400:00:13.320 --> 00:00:19.359us today. Before we get instage episode, I just want to take500:00:19.399 --> 00:00:28.320a moment to acknowledge and celebrate thelife of my beautiful mother and Stella over600:00:28.440 --> 00:00:36.159to yesterday was her two years transitionalanniversary. Two years ago she gained her700:00:36.200 --> 00:00:43.119wings. Yesterday and although a hugepart of me was extremely sad, and800:00:43.200 --> 00:00:49.960still is, you know as somethingthat I continue to deal with day in,900:00:50.399 --> 00:01:00.719day out, each and every day. But I've learned, through therapy,1000:01:00.280 --> 00:01:03.239speaking with people who could take topour into me and continue to curb1100:01:03.439 --> 00:01:11.159encourage me, that you know,you have to go through those I like1200:01:11.239 --> 00:01:14.560you have to feel those emotions soyou can continue to heal and continue to1300:01:14.560 --> 00:01:18.719move forward. But the thing is, even though out a huge part of1400:01:18.760 --> 00:01:25.480people sad, I'm still happy forthe fact that she lived her life the1500:01:25.519 --> 00:01:30.560way that she wanted to. Shehad no regrets, I think odd for1600:01:30.640 --> 00:01:36.560the years that we had with her. He understood because, you know,1700:01:36.640 --> 00:01:38.840those of you who know of who'veheard me talk about my mom, who's1800:01:38.920 --> 00:01:45.799been with me from the beginning ofcurrently under construction. You know, I've1900:01:45.840 --> 00:01:49.920talked about my mom here and there. My mom has never met a stranger2000:01:49.159 --> 00:01:53.200ever and she's never met a strangerever in her life. I mean my2100:01:53.239 --> 00:01:57.400mom can strike up a conversation withyou and ten minutes at the end you2200:01:57.480 --> 00:02:02.040hearing this conversation, you will swearher and the person she's talking to have2300:02:02.239 --> 00:02:06.799known one another for years. They'rejust carrying on like that like their long2400:02:06.879 --> 00:02:10.680lost friends who are just catching up, who haven't seen one another and many2500:02:10.719 --> 00:02:15.199moons. And that was one ofthe most beautiful things about her and her2600:02:15.199 --> 00:02:20.199gift. You know, another oneof the most beautiful things about her,2700:02:20.240 --> 00:02:23.800which I think all of us,her children, inherited from her as her2800:02:23.840 --> 00:02:29.840wonderful giving heart. My mom wouldhelp anybody. My mom would give you2900:02:29.879 --> 00:02:35.439the shirt off her back. Justwas a wonderful soul.

They're all going to come5600:04:38.720 --> 00:04:42.240pretty close together, so just prettyjuck again, be on the lookout for5700:04:42.319 --> 00:04:47.680them and be prepared. So muchas going on in this world. But5800:04:47.759 --> 00:05:01.800I want to talk about change.Change. It's a simple word, soup5900:05:01.879 --> 00:05:14.439for one syllable word change. We'reseeing a constant change in this country,6000:05:15.959 --> 00:05:25.160throughout this world. I've heard asaying over and over the years of my6100:05:25.199 --> 00:05:28.879life. I've heard it in manydifferent forms, but it all comes back6200:05:28.920 --> 00:05:33.600to the same thing, singing theonly thing that's constant in this world it's6300:05:33.759 --> 00:05:39.240change. Now I disagree with thatbecause I still, I feel, the6400:05:39.240 --> 00:05:43.519only thing that's constant in this worldas God, that we can't shake that6500:05:43.560 --> 00:05:46.600any form of fashion. But that'sneither here nor there, and that's the6600:05:46.120 --> 00:05:51.600entirely different subject. Will talk aboutthat at a later date, but today6700:05:53.160 --> 00:05:57.680would change. Again, I've heardand I did and I do find it6800:05:57.720 --> 00:06:08.040to be true. The only thingthat's constant in this world today it's change.6900:06:08.199 --> 00:06:16.160Change comes in many forms. Wesee good change, we see bad7000:06:16.240 --> 00:06:27.120change, we see in different change, but we still see change. Nothing7100:06:28.920 --> 00:06:32.800that we can think of in thisworld, on this planet, remains the7200:06:32.839 --> 00:06:47.319same. If you take a lookat the landmass prior to hey you all,7300:06:47.360 --> 00:06:50.199I want to test take the timeto apologize for that. That was7400:06:53.120 --> 00:06:55.920called. It came in and Icouldn't avoid at that particular time. I7500:06:55.959 --> 00:06:59.000needed to go on and catch soI do want to take the time to7600:06:59.040 --> 00:07:03.399apologize that for that. But gettingback to it, change, a guess7700:07:03.439 --> 00:07:10.360a change happens in so many formsand we see so much change coming about7800:07:10.360 --> 00:07:15.720in this world. If we lookat the land mass of how this world7900:07:15.920 --> 00:07:18.399was, let's say, several thousandsof years ago, and then we look8000:07:18.399 --> 00:07:23.639at it now, it's completely differentlandscape. It looks the same as so8100:07:23.680 --> 00:07:29.000many different ways with the landscape ischanged so much. But again, it's8200:07:29.079 --> 00:07:47.319change. I've seen the political climatein this country changed drastically over the last8300:07:47.360 --> 00:07:54.079several years now. I'm not apolitician, I'm not in the politics.8400:07:54.439 --> 00:07:57.040You all know that that is notmy thing, that's not my skill,8500:07:57.120 --> 00:08:01.160that ain't how I get down.You all know that. But I've seen8600:08:01.199 --> 00:08:07.759a lot of disturbing things in thepolitical forefront that I've been kind of keeping8700:08:07.759 --> 00:08:15.759an eye on. That's again,very disturbing. So we just had to8800:08:15.839 --> 00:08:22.480supreme court vote on and it completelyhappened to overturn or row versus Wade.8900:08:22.639 --> 00:08:26.519We talked about that in the earlierepisode a few months back here on currently9000:08:26.600 --> 00:08:31.840under construction. You all know mypersonal feelings on that. But that's just9100:08:31.919 --> 00:08:35.720a prelude, you know, towhat I see me be happening now.9200:08:35.759 --> 00:08:41.240I'm not going to deep dive intothat. I only brought it up because,9300:08:41.320 --> 00:08:43.639again, like I said, thethe change that I'm singing on the9400:08:43.679 --> 00:08:46.759political front that I've been keeping eyeon, that I'm not happy with what9500:08:46.799 --> 00:08:52.440I'm seeing. So, with thatbeing said, we're going to address that9600:08:52.840 --> 00:08:56.799in a very future episode. Ido mean near future episode, as in9700:08:56.919 --> 00:09:01.679within the next few episodes coming up. We're going to deep dive into that,9800:09:01.759 --> 00:09:05.720but today we are not. Butall I'm going to say my people,9900:09:05.960 --> 00:09:11.919is my cousins and kin folks,keep out, keep it illow to10000:09:11.960 --> 00:09:16.000the ground. So a lot ofthings just just this coming that's going down,10100:09:16.000 --> 00:09:20.000that's coming on down the pike.It don't look good, but keep10200:09:20.000 --> 00:09:24.320your eye out, keep you irlow to the ground and just be mindful.10300:09:24.879 --> 00:09:30.000But again, will deep dive onthat in a later day. But10400:09:31.279 --> 00:09:37.559change becomes of Saul and it's upto us how we choose to move forward10500:09:37.600 --> 00:09:41.759and proceed with that change. Nowwe're either going to do that for the10600:09:41.879 --> 00:09:50.879good we're going to do it forthe bad. We either can be a10700:09:50.879 --> 00:10:00.519part of the change or we canbecome the change. So wait a minute,10800:10:00.519 --> 00:10:01.559oh, hold on, back upa second. So what you mean10900:10:01.600 --> 00:10:05.840by that? We can either bea part of the change or we can11000:10:05.879 --> 00:10:11.840become the change. We guess what. Cousins and kin folks, Y'all know11100:10:11.960 --> 00:10:16.480me. I kind of dig DIGDEF into it. I'm glad you asked11200:10:16.519 --> 00:10:22.080me that question. So when Isay you could be a part of the11300:10:22.159 --> 00:10:26.559change, that means that howeverything's growI have it. Things may be however11400:10:26.679 --> 00:10:31.639they may happen. You just goalong with the flow. Now, in11500:10:31.799 --> 00:10:37.960most instances, is not a badthing. It's not a bad thing at11600:10:37.960 --> 00:10:41.919all to, you know, seewhat changes come about, you adapt to11700:10:43.000 --> 00:10:46.840them and you continue to roll withit. Most Times that's not a bad11800:10:46.919 --> 00:10:48.559it's not a bad thing, that'snot a bad idea to do. So11900:10:50.600 --> 00:11:01.039sometimes it's it's just the natural orderof things. It is, but then12000:11:01.039 --> 00:11:05.240there are other times that it's nota good thing at all to you just12100:11:05.360 --> 00:11:11.120continue to flow with the change likethat, because then you become stagnant.12200:11:13.559 --> 00:11:20.000If you just allow whatever changes tocome about and you're just sitting still,12300:11:20.159 --> 00:11:28.159then you just become stagnant and atthat particular point you you don't continue to12400:11:28.279 --> 00:11:41.080evolve, you remain the same.Okay, I know you asked. You12500:11:41.120 --> 00:11:45.600looking for me, for example.So, okay, for example, you12600:11:45.679 --> 00:11:48.480have some people, and again,I'm not knocking this, I'm not,12700:11:48.600 --> 00:11:52.480you know, downing this, thisgroup of people in the shape form of12800:11:52.519 --> 00:11:58.200fashion. I'm not speaking or talkingon anyone in particular or anything like that.12900:11:58.600 --> 00:12:01.480Again, this is just a scenario. So I don't want any of13000:12:01.519 --> 00:12:07.320my cousins, a King folks toget offended to Oh they goes speaking about13100:12:07.320 --> 00:12:11.440anybody in general, because I'm not. But there is. So, for13200:12:11.480 --> 00:12:15.159instance, you may have a groupof people who he may have grown up13300:12:15.200 --> 00:12:20.399in a certain neighborhood or, youknow, apartment complex projects, whatever the13400:12:20.440 --> 00:12:26.799case may be. Well, theyget used to that and the changes that13500:12:26.879 --> 00:12:33.840come about may have made it easierto for them to remain there or continue13600:12:33.919 --> 00:12:37.159to get whatever type of assistance theymay have been, you know, them13700:12:37.240 --> 00:12:41.320or their parents may have been getting. Well, they have become used to13800:12:41.360 --> 00:12:45.200that or that way of living orthat way of life there. There is13900:12:45.279 --> 00:12:50.039until, in turn, they justthink that okay, well, let's this14000:12:50.120 --> 00:12:52.759is cool for me to continue tolive in this because I can easily do14100:12:52.799 --> 00:12:56.919the same thing because of the changesthat were made. I can, you14200:12:56.960 --> 00:12:58.559know, get on here, Ican get me a house here or an14300:12:58.559 --> 00:13:01.799apartment here or whatever, you know, and I can, you know,14400:13:03.639 --> 00:13:05.679go through and get it, getbeat the system or whatever whatnight, and14500:13:05.759 --> 00:13:16.720I can do the same thing,whereas now you've become stagnant because you you14600:13:16.799 --> 00:13:22.919don't continue to evolve or you don'tyou develop the mindset that that change they14700:13:22.919 --> 00:13:30.720came about, you just float alongwith it and in turn, now you're14800:13:30.879 --> 00:13:41.480just okay with the status quote.And again, I'm not I'm not talking14900:13:41.519 --> 00:13:46.360down to anyone, cousins and kinfolks, I'm not disparaging anyone's way of15000:13:46.519 --> 00:13:50.799life or anything of their particular nature. Again, it was just an example.15100:13:54.279 --> 00:14:00.879It's just an example because we neverknow anyone's circumstances or situations that cause15200:14:00.960 --> 00:14:09.600them to remain in poverty stricken orhigh violence area or anything of that nature.15300:14:11.639 --> 00:14:20.000We don't know and it's not myjob, nor is it within my15400:14:20.039 --> 00:14:26.679pay grade, so to speak,to look into, investigate, speak on15500:14:26.200 --> 00:14:31.440good or bad of anyone situation.That in how we roll. Y'All know15600:14:31.480 --> 00:14:35.879that ain't mean and it's not howwe do things here at currently under construction,15700:14:35.879 --> 00:14:41.039not at all. We're head upliftyou, we're head informed you.15800:14:41.519 --> 00:14:46.480We're here to have meaningful dialog,no matter if it touch someone the wrong15900:14:46.519 --> 00:14:52.519way or anything like that. It'sall done in love, it is.16000:14:52.039 --> 00:15:01.879That's why we family. You hearme all right now now when I say16100:15:01.919 --> 00:15:07.679to be the change, that is, you know, US taking the initiative16200:15:07.840 --> 00:15:15.879to do things to affect the outcomeof change special whether it's within the neighborhood,16300:15:15.879 --> 00:15:22.000where this's within the community, whetherthat's within the city or state that16400:15:22.039 --> 00:15:33.639you make living, is you affectingthe outcome itself. But what more so,16500:15:33.759 --> 00:15:39.000when I'm talking about that I'm moreso thinking of the change within us.16600:15:41.600 --> 00:15:50.960To change within us, we controlthe narrative of the INS and outs16700:15:52.000 --> 00:15:58.559of our lives. Now, giveme wrong. God is the orchestrator.16800:16:00.960 --> 00:16:04.600He created and gave us the life. Put the decisions that we make within16900:16:04.759 --> 00:16:11.440this life. They're us. Wemake those decisions. That's why he gave17000:16:11.519 --> 00:16:15.279us free will. But the changethat we make, we can make the17100:16:15.360 --> 00:16:22.559decision put ourselves on a path inorder to establish those changes, in moving17200:16:22.600 --> 00:16:32.200forward, working on ourselves to improveour lives, you know, in a17300:16:32.279 --> 00:16:41.120positive manner, in order taking thesteps in order to improve our health,17400:16:41.759 --> 00:16:47.200not just your physical health, butyour mental health, your emotional health,17500:16:48.320 --> 00:16:56.320especially your spiritual health. That's whatI mean being the change. However,17600:16:56.399 --> 00:17:02.639we move our health, we continueto evolve and grow in life. We17700:17:02.720 --> 00:17:15.759are the catalyst of that change withinourselves. We Are we can choose to17800:17:15.039 --> 00:17:18.400work on being a better person forUS each day than we were the day17900:17:18.440 --> 00:17:25.240before. Most of you all knowI've talked about it and most of all18000:17:25.279 --> 00:17:29.160who know me personally know that I'vetalked about this at length. I'm preparing18100:17:29.200 --> 00:17:37.240to have very etric surgery here soon. This is a change that I'm wanted18200:17:37.279 --> 00:17:42.759within myself. I've most of youall know that I've struggled over the past18300:17:42.759 --> 00:17:47.720ten years or so with my weight, that it fluctuate, it goes up,18400:17:47.720 --> 00:17:49.559it goes down. There's one pointof time that I was doing very18500:17:49.640 --> 00:17:53.000well than not when I was losingweight, that I lost a hundred plus18600:17:53.039 --> 00:17:57.480pounds. Yes, you hurt me. I lost a hundred plus pounds.18700:17:57.599 --> 00:18:03.319was doing great, but then thatcan point in my life to wear unforeseen18800:18:03.319 --> 00:18:14.680circumstances caused me to get off trackand I begin to pick weight up again.18900:18:17.359 --> 00:18:21.240So even though I know I cantake the initiative and I can work19000:18:21.440 --> 00:18:23.839very, very hard again, which, even with what I'm preparing to do,19100:18:23.880 --> 00:18:29.759I'm still going to have to workhard, but I'm using this as19200:18:29.799 --> 00:18:33.960a tool to help have this physicalchange for myself, for the betterment of19300:18:33.960 --> 00:18:41.640me, so that way I don'tdevelop any of physical issues that I could19400:18:41.640 --> 00:18:45.680have an avoid it, or anymedical issues that I could avoid. You19500:18:45.759 --> 00:18:49.920know, whether it's heart disease,whether it's some type of kidney a problem,19600:18:51.000 --> 00:18:56.039or whether it's high blood pressure ordiabetes, which runs heavily in my19700:18:56.079 --> 00:19:02.480family. So I don't want towait until these things become a factor to19800:19:02.519 --> 00:19:07.680me to do something about it.That's taking the initiative, to be proactive,19900:19:10.000 --> 00:19:18.480to be the change for within myselfand moving forward so I can physically20000:19:18.759 --> 00:19:25.000be a better me, which inturn, at the same time working on20100:19:25.279 --> 00:19:30.599emotionally being a better me, mentallybeing a better me and, as I20200:19:30.640 --> 00:19:40.400strive and work to it each day, spiritually being a better me. I'm20300:19:40.440 --> 00:19:45.279not perfect. I'm far from that. I've made mistakes, I still make20400:19:45.319 --> 00:19:53.200mistakes, we all do. Istill make mistakes, but at the end20500:19:53.240 --> 00:19:57.559of the day, I still continueto try to move forward. Change is20600:19:57.599 --> 00:20:03.759still change, regardless of how slowit may seem or how small that it20700:20:03.960 --> 00:20:10.240is. Change is still change,whether we can see it or not,20800:20:10.319 --> 00:20:14.920whether others consider that, and alot of times others can't see the change20900:20:15.000 --> 00:20:18.920in you initially, or they maysee it but don't want to see it21000:20:18.920 --> 00:20:26.039because they're still equating it with theperson that you may have been who they21100:20:26.359 --> 00:20:37.000are more acquainted with. But don'tlet that define you. Don't let that21200:20:37.119 --> 00:20:44.759define you. They in turn,can't define you. Don't let whatever changes21300:20:44.839 --> 00:20:48.599that you choose to make in yourlife and whatever point is serial setting,21400:20:48.599 --> 00:20:56.000point of time that you're doing itdon't let those changes hens on what other21500:20:56.000 --> 00:21:04.680people think, see or make sayabout you. You hear me, cousins21600:21:04.720 --> 00:21:15.880and King folks, I need tryto hear me on that one. Make21700:21:15.920 --> 00:21:30.240those changes for you, not noone else. You be the catalyst for21800:21:30.359 --> 00:21:40.000the change of you. You bethe catalyst for the change that you want21900:21:40.039 --> 00:21:47.680to see happen around you. Yoube the catalyst for the change that you22000:21:47.759 --> 00:21:55.559want to see in our children.And, speaking of our children, we22100:21:55.680 --> 00:22:03.559definitely have to ensure that we're settingan example and doing what we can help22200:22:03.680 --> 00:22:08.359them change the mindset of where theyare right now, because we are losing22300:22:08.400 --> 00:22:17.039our children people. We are losingour children to the streets, we are22400:22:17.079 --> 00:22:23.160losing our children to disrespect. Weare losing our children to a lot of22500:22:23.200 --> 00:22:29.720these social media sites and the contentthat they see on it. Now,22600:22:29.759 --> 00:22:33.960I'm not saying all content is bad, but a lot of the content that22700:22:33.000 --> 00:22:37.519they see or things that they arerunning across, that they are having access22800:22:37.559 --> 00:22:42.559to with their fingertips, they're fallingprey to it. We can't allow or22900:22:42.720 --> 00:22:49.799look for social media to raise ourchildren as the equivalent of a what our23000:22:49.839 --> 00:22:52.640parents had to do with us.Of those of you who are in my23100:22:52.720 --> 00:22:56.799generation, generation x. You know, it's the equivalent of what I parents23200:22:56.799 --> 00:23:00.960couldn't allow to happen for us.They couldn't allow the streets to raise us.23300:23:03.279 --> 00:23:10.920We can't allow social media to raiseour children. Let it be a23400:23:10.960 --> 00:23:14.640Tute to help do so, butnot to be the and all end all.23500:23:19.759 --> 00:23:22.799Yes, they have a lot ofmore information at their fingertips and everything23600:23:22.839 --> 00:23:29.680now, but let's do our partsto be in their lives. Let's do23700:23:29.720 --> 00:23:32.960our part to get in their business, because you know where that parents,23800:23:32.960 --> 00:23:45.799we supposed to be in their business. We're supposed to be because we're their23900:23:45.839 --> 00:23:55.000parents. They're the gift that Godgave us. And even if they don't24000:23:55.039 --> 00:23:57.240see it, even if they getmad of us, you know, that's24100:23:57.279 --> 00:24:00.799fine, that's okay, they cando it, they can be mad at24200:24:00.880 --> 00:24:07.599us, it's okay. We shouldn'tcare, but let's do better than that.24300:24:08.400 --> 00:24:11.279But, by the same token,the children that we have that are24400:24:11.319 --> 00:24:15.039trying to reach out to us,that want to be heard, let's parents24500:24:15.119 --> 00:24:25.200not be so high up on ourhorses, let's not be so narrow minded24600:24:25.319 --> 00:24:30.240that we don't take the time tolisten to our children. Let's let that24700:24:30.359 --> 00:24:33.519also be a part of the changeas well that we learned to sit and24800:24:33.599 --> 00:24:40.640listen to our children, because tohear people, some people say, well,24900:24:40.680 --> 00:24:42.079their child, they'll those are children, they don't go through anything,25000:24:42.079 --> 00:24:45.759they they don't know anything, theydon't go through anything. But they do,25100:24:48.599 --> 00:24:56.000they do go through things. Inmy lifetime, and I pray God25200:24:56.039 --> 00:25:02.079allow me to see much, muchmore than he already has in my lifetime,25300:25:02.200 --> 00:25:11.440I have never seen so many childrenfeel that it's gotten so bad for25400:25:11.480 --> 00:25:18.000them that they don't want to behere anymore, that they're taking their own25500:25:18.079 --> 00:25:33.960lives. That's terrifying. That's terrifyingpeople that our children are going through so25600:25:33.160 --> 00:25:38.720much or experiencing so much trauma andhurt and pain and whatever the case may25700:25:38.759 --> 00:25:45.079be, that they feel that theyno longer want to be here and they're25800:25:45.160 --> 00:25:56.599taking their own lives. That rateis going higher and higher and we have25900:25:56.680 --> 00:25:59.519to get in there and do somethingabout that. We have to get in26000:25:59.559 --> 00:26:06.119there and help these babies. They'recrying out in their need our help and26100:26:06.240 --> 00:26:21.720we have to get in there andhelp make that change. There's a song,26200:26:22.720 --> 00:26:27.319and I know we've all hurt thissong, whether we've heard the original,26300:26:27.400 --> 00:26:30.440whether we've heard someone sing it,whether we've heard a different rendition of26400:26:30.480 --> 00:26:40.079it, we've all heard this song. A change going to come. I26500:26:40.079 --> 00:26:44.039don't want to sit and wait untilthe change comes. I want to be26600:26:44.119 --> 00:26:49.079a part of that change. Iwant to beat the change. I would26700:26:49.079 --> 00:26:55.640do what I can to help ensurethat change comes with starting with myself.26800:26:57.319 --> 00:27:02.519I can't affect a change of anythingor anyone else if I don't start with26900:27:02.599 --> 00:27:07.519me.
