Do you want a better quality of life? In what area? 

I wanted  quality of life in my relationship with my honey badger wife Geva, and I wanted the quality of relationships with my children. But I couldn’t master it. 

I wanted quality of life in my finances. I wanted the quality of life and fitness. I wanted quality of life and just about every area of my life, man. But for some reason I couldn't attain it. 

How do you get your quality of life to actually manifest?

 I'm going to show you how to do that today. It's very simple. 

It’s time to level up and become the best version of yourself

You know, for the longest time, people ask me, CJ, how did you and Giva, the honey badger, stay together so long? You know, we do have a wonderful relationship, right? But for years, what people don't understand is that I wanted to improve my quality of relationship with her. I wanted to, but it was it was wild to say the least. You know, wanting to do something and actually having the thing that you want to do is two different things. But everybody wants quality of life. I wanted the quality of life and relationships with my honey badger, Jiva, and I wanted the quality of relationships with my children. I wanted quality of life in my finances, I wanted the quality of life and fitness, I wanted the quality of life in just about every area of my life, man. But for some reason it would be like over there instead of here. I couldn't get quality of life to actually manifest. So I'm gonna show you how to do that today. It's very simple, but everybody wants a better quality of life. For example, let's say you want the quality of life when it comes to food. Food, right? You want better food. Oh my gosh, I want better quality uh beef and better quality, uh, you know, just better quality of foods. I'm tired of snacks and and and chips and all of that, so I just can't afford the quality of food. Food has gone up so high, food is so expensive, and all of that kind of stuff, right? But there is a way, man, and it is called a mind shift. All you gotta do is shift your mind. If you can remember this little lesson right here, for every mindset shift, your quality of life increases instantly. I'm not talking about days, weeks, or months. Your quality of life will shift instantly. When you shift your mind, your quality of life shifts instantly. Listen, let's just say you're not getting along with your spouse, significant other, whatever, right? For months, maybe even years, and you guys just tolerate each other. It's like, oh God, whatever. You stay in one room and I'll stay in the other room. If you ever say something like this, you know what? I can't do a thing about him or her, but I can change me. So if I fix 50% of my relationship, and that would be me, I'm going to fix my thing first, then guess what? You've instantly fixed your side of the relationship, at least fixed 50% of the relationships. Oh my gosh, man, it's so profound. And that's what I did. You know, uh sometimes when you have two people in the household and they got two different types of opinions and two different types of thoughts and two different mindsets and personalities and all of that, and two different ways they were brought up in the world. Man, let me tell you something. That is a conflict in the household. So, how do you fix it? Man, if it's really bad, say, Lord, fix me. Okay, fix me. That is a mindset shift that will instantly shift 50% of your relationships and make it better. I'm talking about within seconds walking up to your spouse, walking up to your significant other, and saying, Hey, you know what? I'm sorry, and uh, would you like something to eat? Oh my gosh, I mean, you know, person still might be a jerk. The person still might, but at least you fixed you. Let's say you wanted to fix the quality of your life when it comes to some pain or hurt and somebody did you wrong. You say, you know what? I'm I'm finally going to forgive that person, but not for them. I'm going to forgive them for me. Because you know what? I can't do a thing about them, but I'm so tired of being filled with rage and hurt and anger and depression and sadness and thinking about it all the time. So I'm going to forgive them if for nothing else, I'm going to forgive them for myself. You see, when you shift one mindset, I'm talking about within seconds, within seconds, you'll feel at ease, you'll feel a peace that comes over you. You're going to feel like you can breathe again. And that's what happens when you have a mindset shift. Now, let's finally take money. You want more money, you want a better quality of life. You want to maybe move to a better place, you want a better car, you want better. So you have to make one shift about money. And this is what I did. I finally said, you know what? Sales is not sleazy. Sales is not slick. You can be an ethical, moral, decent, even Christian salesperson with all types of morals and ethics. And I don't have to be slick in order to sell. That's a lie. That is a myth. Good people can sell good products. You might want to write that one down. Good people can sell good products in a good way. And when you shift that, everything shifts. Now you're no longer uneasy about selling. You're no longer scared to sell. You're no longer afraid to like promote your products or services because you know that you're a good person, that you're an ethical person, you're a decent person. And there's nothing wrong with a good person uh selling or sharing a good product to other good people. Not one thing slick about that. You know, because I was raised where they told me, oh God, those old slick salespeople, oh, you got to watch out for them. Well, I'm not slick. So I want to be one of the good guys. I want to be one of the people that are doing good with money. I want to be one of the good people with a good product that is helping other good people. My friend, every shift of your mind improves the quality of life, your quality of life instantly. Every shift of your mind improves the quality of your life instantly. Immediately. So, number one, what's an area of your life that you would like to improve or shift? Money? Relationships? What is it? Is it health? Then you have to shift one thing in your mind. I know finally, this last thing, I'm gonna spend 30 seconds, the last 30 seconds telling you about this. Here's something that I got a problem with a little pet peeve. Okay, do you know I did some research on how a person can shift the quality of your life by just drinking water? Oh my gosh. And I can't tell you how many people I've talked to go, uh, water, ew. I'm like, do you realize what how you could reset your body and your organs and your blood? Listen, I'm not talking about being perfect, I'm not talking about going to the gym for 30 minutes, which would be good. I'm not talking about changing your diet. But it takes approximately 20 seconds to drink a glass of water when you first wake up in the morning. Put a little lemon in it, put a little apple cider vinegar in there, you know, a spoonful, but it tastes nasty, it tastes gross. What? It's water, it's neutral, it's supposed to be good for you. You're not drinking it because it tastes good or because it's fizzy. Come on. Sometimes, you know the scripture that I read the other day, and this is no condemnation for anybody. I don't want to make you feel bad, but the scripture said when I was a child, I thought as a child, I acted as a child. But when I became a man, I put away childish things. Listen, my friend, children don't like water, but adults should love drinking at least a liter a day. Come on, sometimes we gotta be disciplined, we gotta grow up, and we gotta shift our mindsets to mature mindsets in order to get us some mature money or mature health. I hate working out, I hate sweating. Oh, seriously, come on. Get up in the morning, do five minutes or ten minutes of stretching at least, and get that blood flowing. You know, I know you don't feel like it, but mature people, we do it anyway, right? Shift your mind, and the rest of your life will shift as well. Everything will improve the minute that you shift your mind. So I'm curious, what area of your life would you like to improve and what shifts are you willing to make in your mind?
