JC reflects on balance in daily life, encouraging a mix of practices rather than chasing every new trend, using examples from diet and social media habits and sharing casual moments with pets in the background.
Give a little bit Give a little bit of your love to me I'll give a little bit I'll give a little bit of your love to you Good morning, Mel! There's so much that we need to show so sad I give a little bit of my life to you. I think Super Champ's got it down right there, right? That's what we're doing here in the Cadre Sphere every single day. We're giving a little bit of our lives to one another with the intention, with the hope that it all helps us be a little bit better. I give it a little bit.
You give a little bit and all of a sudden we go, Oh yeah, there's lots of ways to do this life thing. And it's done best with balance. With a little bit of this and a little bit of that. My name's JC. If we've never shared time and space together before, thank you for the opportunity to spend some time with you right now. You may hear Willow and Jefferson and Franklin all playing right behind me here. There's two-thirds of the peanut gallery. Jefferson's on the other side here, I think. Hey, Jeffy.
How's it going, buddy? You want to come up? We'll see if Jeffy wants to come up and say hi. Come here. Come on. Come on. There he is. Here's Jeffy. Jefferson, say hi. Oh, he always gets really bashful whenever he's on screen. You want to just sit here? Okay, you can just sit here. So I'm glad I'm here. I'm glad you are here. I know the things I know and I care about you, cadre. Here's the deal. Our species has a really big infatuation with the next newest thing that is the standard, right? If all of a sudden the right thing to eat is more protein, All of a sudden everybody eats more protein.
If all of a sudden the next thing to eat is more carbs, all of a sudden everybody eats more carbs. All of a sudden everybody's supposed to drink a gallon of water a day. All of a sudden everybody starts drinking a gallon of water a day. If everybody's supposed to start doing Pilates, everybody starts doing Pilates. And then sooner or later that's not the thing that's supposed to be the thing that everybody does. And then it's the next thing and the next and the next thing. And it seems to be that the data shows the anthropological reality of our species is the people who find contentment and wholeness and resilience are the people who take a little bit of this and a little bit of that.
They're the ones who go, oh, you know what? I know everybody else is starting to do this, but I still really think this is what I'm going to do. I'll use a funny one that ages me appropriately. When I look at my Instagram, I still operate my Instagram the way that I operated my Instagram 10 years ago. I like putting a lot of words in a post with normally a picture up in the square, and those are my posts. Never got into the real thing. Whenever I post a video, I'm the 8, 10, 12, 15 minute video guy.
Not the 30 second video, get him in, get him out type of guy. Not because I think that those things are wrong or bad. Simply I think the thing that makes sense to me and what I'm wanting to put in the world and what fills my cup is something different. So all of a sudden I go, yeah, I am going to try that new thing because there's something there. And I'm going to do the old thing because the old thing fills my cup. My invitation for you today is to find that space where you go, these are the things I do and here's the reason why I do them.
If you're building a business, if you are shaping a personal brand, if you're attempting to nourish your soul, finding the things that make sense to you, mixed in with the things that challenge you, that place you in the center of everyone, and also place you on the outside where people go, why is that person doing that thing? And when they ask you, you go, because... Dot dot dot dot. Y'all, no matter where you are, no matter what's going on today, give a little bit and see what you get back. I'll see you tomorrow.
