there's something that happens when we
allow ourselves to sit inside
freedom sit inside
transparency sit inside what i like to
call care frontation
that means i might push up against you a
little bit i might make you mildly to
moderately to significantly
uncomfortable in any form of mediocracy
but it's out of the spirit of love
you want to inspire people with your
voice from your child to your sibling to
your significant other to your community
to the world to this room be willing to
love me enough to tell me your truth
they love me enough to tell me my truth
then love me enough to just tell me the
truth
be willing to touch the edge of your own
comfort zone you show me yours
and i'll show you mine
you show me your heart
and i'll show you my love
you let me know that you're willing to
be imperfect and still have a perfectly
giving serving loving life then you give
me permission to let my imperfection out
into the world too
see you want to speak at another level
you got to be willing to love at another
level forgive at another level show up
at another level speak up at another
level pray at another level you have to
be willing on every level to up level
who you be on a daily basis
and recognizing
that when you open up and use your voice
everything that comes out after you
speak really doesn't belong to you
see it's very difficult to speak
phenomenally and to not be good come on
y'all from yesterday not be great but to
be what
unfreaking forgettable
it's difficult to be unforgettable while
you're still trying to look good
you can't do two things that's chasing
two rabbits see unforgettable has
everything to do with serving at a level
so high so big so massive that people
feel like they have to change their
lives because they crossed your path
see when you're willing
to use your voice first you have to
recognize that you have one
you got to recognize that that no matter
your past you were given a voice and
your voice was given not to keep to
yourself your voice is not a secret
and you have to be willing to use every
experience that's ever happened in your
life not as a fortress holding you from
using your voice but as the fuel on why
you will use your voice
you got to be willing to not stand in
your story but stand on your story
it's not in spite of your past that you
get to be amazing that you get to be a
change agent that you get to transform
lives it's because of your past that
you're perfect for such a job
i when you own it like that see there's
no question in my certainty about my
life
can you walk with that level of
certainty so that when the wind comes
and then when the wind blows and it will
come and it will blow and it will be a
storm and it will be a tornado and it
will look like divorce and it will look
like bankruptcy and it will look like an
illness and it will look like a loss
when it comes it will rock you it will
rock you it will rock you but it won't
move you

you
