This is why we talk about speak your truth. What is your truth? And a lot of people don't have that truth. They and this is why they lack the confidence, because they have questions about what they've been told, but they're not sure what they think. Well, I've been bold enough to go down the tunnel of of questioning it or realizing maybe a different way. So they lack the confidence. And so I begin to be the student and I begin to look at the world as an opportunity to learn and from nutrition, from everything that I have a desire to do, whether it be relationships, I begin to put formulas together to realize and search out masters who who have presented themselves as such and and be the student and learn from them and learn from my own mistakes and put it together and I've seen myself grow tremendously. And again, I still make mistakes, but I feel myself still progressing in a way that I feel. I would have never progressed to such. I feel it takes some real question and answering. And you have to be unapologetically with your answers. You cannot make excuses. You can't run away from the hard questions you must ask yourself. And when you speak the truth to yourself, then it begins to present the path that you must take.

I think the compelling insight of breathing I talked about while in the hospital, the nurse talking to me about breathing and really conceptualizing, you know, what breathing does, the capacity of breathing that really clicked for me. It was a way, like in a sense of being an athlete, my whole life is like, why have I never thought about that? And it stuck with me. What's what? What else is there? You know? And then and then realizing that, now I have a tool to combat the situation that I'm in. Wow, what can I do with that? And in the opportunity I couldn't avoid, I was in it. I was in the middle of it. Well, this is the perfect opportunity. This is the only opportunity. I don't have time to negotiate it. Look at the stats, the data. I just have that and I must do it now. Well, she told me she's like the end to, you know, what happens when you breathe. She says on the inhale, the diaphragm pushes down on the exhale, it pushes out. She told me that when we breathe the shallow breath of the heart, the lungs, they don't need your help. But what becomes stagnant is the internal organs. And then she told me, or I found out that the liver controls anger, the kidney controls, fear. The intestines is worried. Say, Wow, this is a whole dynamic that I didn't even understand. So now you can go into page balance and really look there. And peace levels is is a processing mechanism. So now I can process the moment right. And now through the practice of processing, the moment I begin to build an emotional maturity around the situations or any situations that I'm dealing with. So now I can make a more constructive choice. And that's a powerful tool to have as a human.

I feel it takes some real question and answering. And you have to be unapologetically with your answers. You cannot make excuses. You can't run away from the hard questions you must ask yourself. And when you speak the truth to yourself, then it begins to present the path that you must take.

I was diagnosed with a spinal contusion. And my whole life that I had invested into this character was gone. And all I had known myself to be, all I know in myself to do is be this sports person and that character was gone. And now I had to look in the mirror and say, Who am I now? Or Who do I want to be? And I was in that predicament. And luckily for me, or ironically for me, I found yoga. Which yoga is union. I found myself.

Yeah, it's a formula if you build your character, like I mentioned earlier, like, you know, mastery comes through repetition and it's not just doing it because to do it is how can I be more efficient, How can I be better? How can I, you know, how can I be a master at what I'm doing? And in life I feel we have the opportunity to be here for what? We have problems. Well, we learn to solve it. We learn to evolve with it. We learn to take advantage of this opportunity of being in nature, learning how the medicine, medicines, how the universe.
