Yo I guess as you can probably surmise right now. I'm in good spirits, warriors. Yeah, I'm in good spirits. Which leads me to my next question. How is your spirit? Are you in a good place like me today? Are you fighting through something? Have you been challenged? And are right now working through what you need to get through to make it through? Well, if you can hear my voice, that means that you are on a positive trajectory. You are in a positive direction. You have chosen to listen to your spirit. You have decided, at least for the moment, that you will focus on yourself and what you need to do what you need to do. It's alright, warriors, you can do that. If you don't have energy, how can you use it to conquer the things that are trying to conquer you? So, yeah, warriors, you need to always remember to always invest in yourself. Don't just invest in tangible things that you can see, stocks and bonds, right? You need to also invest in something that affects you a hundred percent, a hundred percent, right? Your mindset, you need to think about things that are going to have an advantageous result for you. You can't always think about everyone else. You can't be your best, though, if you don't go to a through a test. That's what warriors are all about. Getting through those things that try to knock us out, to make us lose focus, to make us lose valuable time and effort, when we are trying to accomplish things, we are pushing through those obstacles that come against us, whether it be in human form, whether it be in a rule, whether it be in a spiritual nature, whether it be something mental, whatever it is, we can get through it, yeah, because if you can hear my voice right now, that means that you have survived a hundred percent of those things that were meant to destroy you, yeah. Now that's a blessing, that's a blessing, that's a blessing. Give yourself a hand.

You could have given up, but you're still here. It's a blessing, no blessing, no blessing, no blessing, no blessing, no blessing, no blessing, no blessing, no blessing. Yeah, just to be here to live to fight another day, right? Yeah, so I want to encourage you, warrior. If you've had a rough few days, you have entered into a zone where you can take off your armor, and you can drop your swords, you can drop your pens, you can drop your mouse on your computer, and just inhale, and exhale, inhale, exhale, just relax. You're among friends here. If you can hear this, I know that you know that sometimes one of the greatest gifts that we can give ourselves is a quiet, safe place to let down our guards, right? Because man, how this world is shaking, we need to be on guard all the time. When you think about being on guard, right? You have to watch not only your enemies that you know about, but you have to watch perceived enemies that could come in the form of people you consider friends, co-workers, and I hate to say it, but it's so true, even family. You have to be on guard because someone somewhere sees the greatness in you, and when they see this greatness in you, warrior, they can say, Wow, I want to be like that person, or they can say, Oh, they think they're better than me. Well, I'm not gonna just let them level up. These kind of people though, they don't realize that people can grow without diminishing what they have. There's enough room, grace, and prosperity for us all. Yeah. Now today I'm gonna talk about a topic. I've seen this a lot lately, and I mentioned uh being narcissistic before, I know that I have, but it seems like lately narcissism has been really in the forefront. People are now thinking about themselves more than anyone else, right? I know I can see it. So today I wanted to highlight narcissism. I know most of you understand what that is and have experienced someone who may be walking in that spirit right now. But I thought that I would mention it again because I've been seeing it so much lately. So at its core, narcissism, narcissism is a personality trait characterized by an inflated sense of self-importance, a deep need for excessive attention and admiration, and a lack of empathy for others. Oh my. While it is often used to describe vanity, it exists on a spectrum ranging from healthy self-esteem to a diagnosed mental health condition known as narcissistic personality disorder. The core characteristics of being a narcissist is grandiosity, and that is an exaggerated sense of superiority on the belief that one is special or unique and can only be understood by other high-status people. How many of you know someone who walks in this? They believe that they are so unique that only someone on their supreme stature could even talk with them. I have known people that way. Another core characteristic of NASA system is entitlement. Entitlement is an unreasonable expectation specifically or for specifically favorable treatment or automatic compliance with their expectations. That they didn't work for, that they didn't suffer for. Yeah, survey the room. Survey the room. Uh that can be positive about being a narcissist. So being a narcissist, we have that uh did I say we? I don't think I'm a narcissist. I'm pretty sure I'm not. I'm very humble. Sounds like a huh. But really, really. Anyway, being a narcissist comes with also having you can also have a healthy self-esteem based on actual achievements, pro-social values, and the ability to accept criticism. These individuals value themselves but also value the well-being of others. The narcissism and narcissists that we encounter generally are the self is a mask because the confidence is not rooted in a stable internal sense of worth. The person becomes volatile when their superiority is challenged as well. So, warriors. Right. I know you heard this before. You matter and I report, you matter and I report, you matter. And are important. You matter and are important. Also, I want you to remember. There is no one better than you, Warrior. There is no one better than you. No one. And you can do what you want to do. You just have to minimize interference from those who can't understand you. So keep your head up so God can see your face clearly. And you can see the blessings coming down to attack you. And you can also see those who do not have your good before they get to you, so you can be prepared to dominate. Yeah, we got this. You got this. You got this. You got this. Yeah.
