0:19

0:27

up everybody . It's your girl , Jaime Hansell

0:29

, and welcome back to Living in Purpose

0:31

on Purpose . If this is your

0:33

first time listening here , welcome

0:36

to the podcast . I always say

0:38

once you listen , once you're family

0:41

. So welcome to the Purpose family

0:43

For all my returning listeners . What's up

0:45

y'all . Please don't fight me

0:47

. Don't fight me . We had

0:49

some technical difficulties a few weeks

0:51

ago and then

0:54

last week I could not find my in ears

0:56

. In ears are basically just a form of headphones

0:58

that goes in your ears , literally

1:00

, and you know , of course

1:03

, naturally making excuses of

1:05

why I should not record or where I

1:07

cannot record . However , here

1:10

I am . Okay , i'm here , i'm

1:12

showing up for you guys . It's

1:14

rainy , it's gloomy

1:16

. If you're in Florida , you know exactly

1:18

what I'm talking about . If you're in Jacksonville

1:20

, you really know what I'm talking about . I'm

1:23

not going to lie , it's tough . It's

1:26

tough making it a

1:28

priority to record , because

1:30

I'm so used to . You

1:33

know , when I took my little break

1:35

, i was just so used to just waking up

1:37

and not caring about recording at all . But

1:40

this is a priority to me , this is important

1:42

to me and it was important to y'all . Y'all

1:44

listen to me regardless , and I love that so

1:46

much So I was like I

1:48

gotta put out something . I have to put out something , no

1:50

matter how sleepy I am . Listen

1:53

, my baby has been babying for sure

1:55

. Nights have been long . However

1:58

, i'm here And the

2:00

episode today is literally speaking to

2:02

myself , like no cap

2:04

is literally speaking to myself

2:06

, because I always tell you guys

2:09

I listened to myself first

2:11

and feed it to myself before I try to

2:13

give it to y'all . I

2:15

believe that , even though I'm quote

2:17

unquote teaching you guys

2:20

about these things , there are things that

2:22

still apply to me and things

2:24

that I can still utilize in

2:26

my own life . Now I

2:29

do want to give a little insert If

2:31

my voice get a little wonky or if it sounds

2:33

wonky . I was sick a couple

2:35

weeks ago , but my voice

2:37

is still going through some things

2:40

. Okay , like , sometimes

2:42

it's regular , sometimes it's

2:44

not , sometimes it goes in and

2:46

out . I have no idea what's going

2:49

on In person . I have

2:51

this natural rasp to it now

2:54

, so I don't know if

2:56

it's going to transpose into my recording with my

2:58

mic that way , but

3:00

just to give you a heads up . So if you're listening

3:02

and you're not like what's

3:05

wrong with her voice , so

3:07

I just wanted to say that before I get into

3:09

it . But anyways , back to the

3:11

important part . I

3:14

give myself the episodes first

3:16

and feed myself the knowledge and information

3:18

and wisdom first . It

3:21

helps me . Sometimes I have

3:23

insight on teaching things that I have not mastered

3:26

. Some things I'm very well versed

3:28

in and not well versed because I'm

3:30

well versed in pretty much everything I speak about . I

3:32

don't speak about anything I don't know about

3:34

, but I will say

3:36

that Some

3:38

things are easier for me to you

3:42

know , pretty much Utilized

3:44

, and others and today

3:46

is really helping me because , especially

3:49

with the podcast We're gonna

3:51

be talking about are you committed , and

3:53

I really believe that there's a commitment that has to

3:55

take place for you to pretty much succeed

3:58

anywhere in life . You have to be committed

4:00

in some way , shape or

4:02

form . You cannot just take the

4:05

desire to do something in room

4:07

with that and say , oh , i'm gonna be successful

4:09

, because that's unfortunately , fortunately

4:12

, not the case and not the way it

4:14

works . You have to have more

4:16

than the idea and you have to have more than the thought

4:18

. Sometimes people are great like innovators

4:21

, like They . They come up with

4:23

these . While I'm not gonna say innovators . They're great

4:25

, great visionaries . They can envision

4:27

so many things . They can

4:29

come up with ideas , business plans , you

4:32

know , organize different things , like

4:34

They're really good at

4:36

Envisioning the

4:38

next step . But when it comes to actually

4:40

acting out and being

4:43

committed to Follow

4:45

through is difficult . And that's only

4:48

because some people are straight visionaries . They

4:50

are the ones that create the Visions

4:53

, if you will , and hand it

4:55

off to the people who are the doers , the

4:58

, the ones who get it done , the organized

5:01

Leaders . And that's just how

5:03

it is . And sometimes , you know , people can be

5:05

a Aplet , the world of things , but

5:07

sometimes visionaries just cannot commit

5:10

. And I'm not saying that's okay , we

5:12

want to commit , but I'm just saying

5:15

there's some people for certain things

5:17

and sometimes visionaries just do

5:19

that . Now , when it comes to being committed

5:21

, commitment is a

5:23

Quality of being

5:25

dedicated to a cause or an activity

5:28

. That's the real definition of

5:30

commitment . Granted , there's another

5:32

definite , there's other definitions , but

5:34

that's the one that I found is Being

5:37

the quality of being dedicated to a cause and activity

5:39

. So commitment is

5:41

paired hand in hand with dedication

5:44

. They go hand in hand . Those

5:47

two things you can't have without the other . You

5:49

cannot possibly say you're committed and you're not dedicated

5:52

to something . You cannot say you're dedicated

5:54

to something and you're not committed . They're

5:56

like brother and sister , twins , like

5:58

joined at the hip , and because

6:01

of this type of

6:03

commitment

6:06

, dedication , partnership , sometimes

6:09

you want to say , okay

6:11

, well , am I getting anywhere ? Like

6:14

, i'm being committed , i'm dedicating myself . I

6:17

don't see the results . I don't see you

6:20

know , the progress in which I want

6:22

, and sometimes we look at that way

6:24

too soon , like we'll start working

6:26

out today , and we're like , dang

6:29

, i don't see my APEC yet

6:31

. It's like , yeah , you

6:33

just started today's sweetheart , you're

6:36

not gonna see APEC yet . I don't

6:38

know if you ever see an APEC , but

6:40

if you're committed enough , you should

6:42

. But in order to determine

6:45

your progress , by which you are

6:47

trying to measure yourself , you

6:49

have to be committed to the process , and

6:51

the process does not always reveal

6:53

actual , like

6:56

results immediately . So if

6:58

you're trying to say , oh , did

7:00

I make it far ? Did I make it far yet ? Did I make

7:02

it far yet ? Just work on being

7:04

committed to the process And I promise

7:06

you , before you know it , you'll

7:09

see all the progress

7:11

you've made . But

7:13

you have to be committed to the process . Sometimes

7:16

people are committed to the progress , they're committed

7:18

to see results . They're like

7:20

okay , i'm committed because I want to see

7:22

myself like this , i

7:24

want to see my business like this

7:26

, i want to see my family like

7:28

this . But it's like okay , you have to

7:31

go through the process to

7:33

get through , to get to the progress , and

7:36

the only way to do that is to be committed

7:38

. That's the only way . If

7:40

you aren't committed to something , you'll be distracted

7:43

every time . And

7:46

just a little insert If you guys hear some thunder

7:48

, you know it's

7:50

very stormy in Jacksonville , but

7:53

anyways , if you aren't committed

7:55

to something , you'll be distracted every time . I

7:58

promise you Like , if I'm not committed

8:00

to something , i will literally

8:02

make every excuse in the book . If I'm not

8:05

Like , if I'm not committed , i swear like I would

8:07

make every little excuse , like

8:09

and y'all are probably like what

8:12

? The purpose mother ? Like

8:15

the limited purpose queen that teaches

8:17

us how to ? yes , i make excuses

8:19

sometimes . Also , sometimes I don't feel

8:21

like it and it makes me feel better to

8:23

give myself an excuse of why I don't feel

8:25

like doing the things . In actuality , i

8:28

just don't feel like doing it And

8:31

I'm working on that . I'm working on just saying , hey , i

8:34

need a break And I'm gonna take a break , like

8:36

I'm not making excuses , i'm

8:38

not going to say , oh well

8:40

, this is not in this . Like no , sometimes

8:43

things happen out of your control . I get it . But

8:45

sometimes , if you don't feel like it , like don't

8:47

get your hopes up , sweetheart , especially

8:49

if you have other people that's like directly

8:52

working with you Don't

8:54

get their hopes up , don't feed them some type

8:56

of story Like it's just , it is what it is

8:58

. You know what I mean . Like it's okay

9:00

to not feel like it . It's okay , but

9:03

just make sure you're committed , because

9:06

if you're not careful , those distractions

9:09

will get you every time And

9:11

you'll find yourself chasing your own

9:14

tail and not making any progress because

9:16

you're not committed for it . You

9:19

keep getting distracted , you keep stopping

9:21

you in your tracks , you're not able

9:24

to really get the things done that you want to get

9:26

done . And

9:28

if you can't get the things done , you're

9:30

going to just be stuck in the same place And

9:34

like it may just be stuck for a month

9:36

, it may be stuck for a year , but if

9:38

you're not careful it's going to be a while . Now

9:41

, everybody's definition of a while is different

9:43

. Some people can say a

9:45

while is a week And

9:47

they're like dang , i haven't read my book

9:49

in a while , and that can be a week

9:51

, but somebody else because they haven't read my

9:54

book in a month , that's a while . And

9:56

then there's some people that just flat out like I haven't

9:58

read my book in a while , and it's been a year

10:00

, it's been five years , 10 years , like

10:03

that's , that's wild . Okay , that's a while

10:05

, that's a long while

10:07

. But everyone's definition

10:10

is different , understood . But

10:12

if you're not careful , it's just that

10:14

a while can get longer and longer

10:16

and longer , and we don't want to do that . I

10:19

know there's a quote by Denzel

10:21

Washington And he basically

10:24

said without commitment you'll never start

10:26

And without consistency you'll never finish

10:28

. And I just that spoke

10:30

to my soul . It spoke to

10:32

my soul , y'all , because you'll never start

10:34

, you will never truly start . And when

10:36

I say start , i mean start with

10:39

the intention of finishing

10:41

or start with the actions to follow

10:43

behind your words of finishing . So

10:45

you know , sometimes we'll start things but

10:47

we'll stop . That's not , that's

10:49

, that's not really starting . You're

10:52

not really starting . Is

10:55

it okay to like just to continue , to keep starting

10:57

over ? Yes , but you're

10:59

not fully starting and committing to start

11:01

until you follow through and keep going

11:04

. So when he said without commitment

11:06

you'll never start . I said , ooh

11:08

, that is a gut punch , because that

11:10

is so true . You

11:13

will never start without commitment . But if

11:15

you don't have consistency through the commitment

11:18

, you will never finish

11:20

. Never , and I can

11:22

say that 100% , 10 toes down

11:26

. You will never finish because you

11:29

lack consistency . If

11:31

you lack consistency , you will never get to your

11:33

goals . You will never get

11:35

to the end goal , the end game that you have

11:38

in , whatever it is And

11:41

you can apply this to many areas of your life

11:43

but you'll never get

11:45

to the end game , wherever that is

11:47

, however that is shown

11:49

in your life . You'll never get

11:51

there if you lack consistency . But you have

11:53

to have the commitment to start . But

11:55

again , these are like siblings , twins

11:58

. You cannot have consistency

12:00

and not have commitment , because

12:03

nine times out of 10 , if you're being consistent

12:05

, that's because you're committed to something

12:07

, and you cannot

12:10

possibly say you're committed to something if you're

12:12

not consistently doing that

12:14

thing , putting in the work for that thing

12:16

. You know just multiple

12:18

things . If you're not Doing

12:21

that , in comparison

12:23

, or are paired With

12:25

the commitment , you might as well

12:27

keep all , keep all that , keep

12:29

all that , because I don't know about y'all

12:32

, but I'm I'm scared

12:34

of wasting time in my life . I'm

12:37

scared of that because Life

12:40

is so temporary So

12:42

it's like it could literally end

12:45

tomorrow , or your life

12:47

can end in a week or a month

12:49

, or 20 years , 40 years , you

12:51

never know . But

12:53

life is so temporary

12:55

and I'm afraid to waste

12:58

time . I'm not afraid

13:00

of commitment . A lot of people are afraid of commitment

13:02

to commit to anything

13:04

and And it's like I'm

13:07

not afraid of that I'm afraid I'm afraid of wasting time , i'm

13:09

afraid of going every day , not

13:11

working towards my goals , not pushing myself

13:14

and Being in the same place

13:16

. Now that I am in ten years

13:18

, i don't want that . So

13:20

what do I do ? I live in purpose , on

13:23

purpose , because I know I

13:25

do not want that for my life . I do

13:27

not want to be in the same place . I was five

13:29

years ago , ten years ago today

13:31

. So you

13:34

know , sometimes I give you guys homework . Your

13:37

homework reflect , compare

13:39

your life now . Then

13:41

it was five years ago and You

13:45

know how in school we used to do like the little vign diagram

13:47

and we'll like do the circles And

13:50

you have one side and the other side and in the middle

13:52

is all the comparisons or the things that

13:54

are similar , that interlaps

13:56

or enter like intertwines from one

13:58

or the other . That's what you

14:00

should do for your last five years . So you

14:03

write down what your life was

14:05

like five years ago in regards

14:08

to whatever your goals are and things like that , not

14:10

just in general . Like I don't want to know that

14:12

you gain 50 pounds , like you know

14:14

, unless that's part of your commitment

14:17

. Hey , if you're committed to working out , you have

14:19

to compare and say , dang , i gained 50

14:21

pounds and I suppose been working out these years trying

14:24

to get my body right . Yeah , here

14:26

I am . So if it's a part of your goals , then

14:28

go ahead . But that just

14:30

goes to show you , like , exactly

14:33

what time you have

14:35

wasted in the past few years

14:38

focusing on things . That probably

14:40

does not matter . Or

14:42

You may have other priorities

14:45

, which is understandable

14:47

. If , at any moment now

14:49

I'm not saying it's gonna be overnight as far

14:51

as the actual Progress

14:53

by which is changed , but

14:56

you literally have the power

14:58

to change your life overnight , you can literally

15:01

sit , there's a god . You know , i really

15:03

want to change this about my life

15:05

. I'm committed , i'm

15:07

ready to be dedicated . I'm going

15:09

to be consistent . Let's do this and

15:12

it will work every time , like

15:15

that's crazy . It will work every

15:17

time . The mind is such a powerful

15:19

thing to waste . If

15:21

you set your mind To

15:24

do the things that you want to be committed

15:26

to do , you can change and

15:28

do those every time

15:30

, literally every

15:33

single time . If you put your mind to it

15:35

, you can do it . And

15:37

if that's not motivation , i don't know what is . Just

15:41

to know that you have the power within yourself To

15:43

actually do and accomplish

15:45

your goals . And if you're

15:47

anything like me , with the help of God

15:50

, you're unstoppable . You

15:52

can literally do whatever you put your mind

15:54

to , and that's the glory of it all

15:57

. That is the most amazing thing for , or

16:00

of commitment . Like

16:03

it's literally that simple put your

16:06

mind to it , set your mind to it

16:08

, be committed , be

16:10

consistent , and you got yourself some

16:12

accomplished goals . Now

16:14

, most people do succeed Because

16:17

they're destined to like you know

16:19

, regardless , like you

16:22

know those people , they're just destined

16:24

to succeed , no matter what . That's just

16:26

on their life . But

16:29

most people Succeed

16:31

because they're committed to , they are

16:34

, they are solid

16:36

. They're like I don't care what it takes

16:38

, i'm gonna be successful . I

16:42

am going to be successful no

16:44

matter what , and that is called commitment . No

16:46

matter what happens , no matter

16:48

when you see them , what they're doing . It's

16:51

always something in regards to being successful

16:53

, because they're committed to be

16:55

successful , there's

16:58

nothing that could stop them from being

17:00

successful . And That's

17:02

how we have to be . We

17:04

have to be in a position to where commitment

17:06

is Second nature to

17:08

us . It's easy for us to

17:10

just Hunker down

17:12

and commit ourselves to whatever

17:14

it is , commit ourselves

17:17

to our goals . We

17:19

have to be put in that position , to where we can

17:21

do that . Yes , i

17:24

get that . We have to get put in that position , but

17:26

sometimes we're not even . We're not

17:28

even helping ourselves getting to that place

17:31

in our lives to do that Like

17:33

. Sometimes we're like oh , we don't have the resources , we don't have

17:35

the money , we don't have the time , we don't have to . Everyone's

17:38

always listen all the things that they don't have

17:40

. But if you sit down

17:42

and write down all the things that you do have , all

17:44

the resources You do have , all the people and connections

17:46

that you do have , when you

17:49

write down all the time and when , which

17:51

you have , when can

17:53

you do certain things ? Write it down

17:55

Right , start

17:58

, start assessing All

18:00

the things that you do have , because

18:02

that would allow you to get to your goals . Because

18:05

now you're like okay , this is a list

18:07

of everything that I have . What can

18:09

I do with this ? Instead

18:11

of making a list of everything that you don't have

18:13

and that you need and saying , dang

18:16

, i wish I had this . Like , what

18:18

good is that ? It's not helping you

18:20

. It's not helping you become dedicated , it's not

18:22

helping you commit yourself . It's not , definitely

18:24

not helping you be consistent , because you're

18:26

looking at everything that you do not have , which does

18:29

not help you . You don't have

18:31

it , oh well , what

18:33

are we gonna do to get it ? Because

18:37

that's the number one goal . We're

18:39

trying to get the things that we don't have . The

18:41

list of the goals and aspirations

18:44

that we have Essentially is just getting the

18:46

things that we don't have , whether

18:48

it's physical , monetarily , like whatever

18:50

it is . We're working on getting

18:53

those things . So

18:55

how in the world do you think Listing

18:58

and complaining about the things

19:00

you don't have all the time is

19:02

gonna help you get there ? Because

19:04

it's not So . What

19:06

we have to do is start assessing what we

19:08

do have . What can I do right

19:10

now ? What would I have ? You

19:13

have to do the best with what you have . Simple

19:15

, because

19:19

if you do that , i promise you God will make a way to where you will have the

19:21

things that you once did not have In

19:23

order to do the things that you wish to do . He

19:30

said he'll give you the desires of your heart . What is your

19:32

heart's desires ? What is the real deal , things within

19:35

your heart that you really desire for your life . He will give

19:37

those to you . But in order to do that

19:40

, you have to be committed to even Think

19:43

about these things . You have to sit

19:45

in a says . Sometimes

19:47

we go through life every day and we're not

19:49

even thinking about our success , our future , where

19:52

we're trying to go Like

19:55

I get . Like even people who work nine to five jobs

19:57

and stuff

19:59

like please do not get sucked up into the cycle . Like even people who

20:01

work nine to five jobs and stuff like please

20:03

do not get sucked up into the cycle . That

20:08

does not make you successful . Make sure you're pushing

20:10

yourself at your job . Like

20:14

, put yourself up for promotions , ask

20:16

your boss what's the next step

20:18

up , and

20:20

then , after that , what do I need to do

20:23

to get there ? Boom

20:25

, there are your goals right now . Commit yourself

20:27

to doing that . So every time you show up , every

20:29

day , you think

20:31

about that list . You

20:33

think about that next step up that

20:35

your boss told you . It requires this , this

20:38

, this and this . So , every day

20:40

, work towards that list . It's

20:42

not easy , no , but it's

20:44

very simple . The

20:47

way to succeed is very simple

20:49

. If you want a very

20:51

quick , short answer , be committed , because

20:55

commitment comes with everything . Commitment

20:59

comes with literally everything . It

21:01

comes with persistency , consistency

21:03

, dedication , hard work , good

21:06

work , ethic , like commitment comes with

21:08

so many great things . That pushes

21:10

you literally right in front of success

21:13

. Are you committed ? That's

21:15

the question . That's the question

21:17

I want to leave you with , because we

21:21

have to become committed , guys . We just have

21:23

to . It's just something that

21:26

if you desire to be successful in

21:28

your life , like literally

21:30

in any area , any way , shape

21:32

or form , you have to be committed

21:35

. And that's why I wanted to propose that

21:37

question today , not only for you guys , but for myself

21:39

. Am I committed ? Are you

21:41

committed to your podcast ? Okay , if you

21:43

are , you need to show up every week . If

21:46

you need to change the time , change the time . If you need

21:48

to change the date , change the date . But guess what ? You

21:50

have to be committed . That's

21:53

the conversation I have with myself , and

21:56

I have to have to myself , because

21:58

if not , if

22:01

I'm not careful , i'll just

22:03

keep making excuses of why

22:05

things cannot be done because I'm showing oh

22:07

, i don't have time , i don't have this , i

22:09

don't have that . No , what do

22:11

you have ? You have everything that you need ? do

22:14

it . And

22:16

when I say everything you need , i mean the bare minimum things

22:18

. Do it , because

22:22

that's what counts . So

22:24

, are you committed , guys ? Are you committed ? Thank

it's so much that goes with it . So many logistics

23:51

as far as setting up recording being

23:54

presentable . Guys , 90%

23:56

of the time when I'm recording these episodes I

23:59

look like a bum . Okay

24:01

, my hair is crazy , like

24:04

my outfit . Sometimes I don't even have clothes

24:06

on , like it's

24:08

crazy . So it'd be a transition

24:11

for me to record both

24:14

aspects video and audio . But

24:18

I think I want to be committed . I think I

24:20

want to be committed , but I want to get all the logistics

together because I don't want to just throw it together . I want

24:24

it to be really good quality . So

that will be coming soon . I just got to figure

out how I'm going to stop giving

myself excuses and make some

time . That's all . That's
