Enoughness 101

Hey, good morning, Cadre. How are you doing? I hope you're good. Let's sing a little bit. Sing a song. Sing out loud. Sing out strong. Sing of good things, not bad. If you want to, you can sing a bad things too if you want. Scene of happy, not sad if you want. That's a little ditty. Oh my. Ms. Shane and Paul, I need to hit play again. Listen, not Even kidding you, Ms. Shannon, Paul brought this song back into my sphere a week or two ago. This is. This is the AJ Hamza. AJ Hamza. Where'd you guys go?

Are you all down in Phoenix? Okay, so that song, Ms. Shannon, Paul sent it to me, but it's one of my all time favorites. They did it on Sesame street, but it's a carpenter's tune and it's a really fun back and forth. Hey, Shannon. J. and Hamza. I hope it is warm and beautiful down there. It is actually a little bit warmer and a little bit less snowy up here than it was a couple of days ago. So now it's nice for the people in the Midwest to go, huh? We can enjoy the snow. So sing. Sing a song. Sing out loud.

Sing out strong. Sing of good things, not bad. Sing of happy, not sad. Jules, I hope that's what you're doing this morning. But again, like we always say, if you're singing a happy, that's great. If you're singing a sad, that's great too. The song is so simple. This song brings you to a place of going, huh? What can I do? You know, one of my favorite quotes of all time is a Bertold Brecht quote, who's a old dead white theater guy. And someone once asked Bertold, hey, will there be music in the dark times?

Bertold said, yeah, there'll be music about the dark times. And I love that quote. One of my favorite passages of historical texts says, where the tree falls, that's where it is. I love that. Why? Because it's true. These things that bring us to where we are and knowing what is capable and what is real, that's what enoughness is all about. And that's what we talk about here on Saturday mornings. The idea that you are already indeed in this moment. Enough. You know, Saturdays is all about personal development.

And as we talk about personal development, I like breaking it down this way. On Mondays, when we talk about professional development, that's about us working on what we do. Saturdays, when we talk about personal development, we talk about who we are. So you're gonna see our buddies, Kristen from Colorado, you're gonna see our buddy Dan coming from the west coast and you're gonna see pre recorded content all within the health community. In the kagosphere. All these things swirl around one another, right?

What is the gravitation point if the Cadre sphere is exactly what it is, right? This big swirling group of people and ideas and resources, the center point, the gravity, the thing that holds us together is all of these things bring us closer to being aware and maybe appreciative of who we are. That's the journey towards being well or being full or being happy or being whatever. Journey towards not journey to. Words matter. We're always moving towards something. Ms. Shannon Paul that makes me think, you know, Ms.

Shannon Paul has a quarterly event called Comedy through the chaos, right? Ms. Shannon Paul's live stream, Comedy through the Chaos. It's not comedy. On the other side of the chaos. It's not comedy is going to fix all of your problems event. No, it's. Comedy is a, is a thing that can help us move through. If you ever heard the word mantra, a Sanskrit term, it translates into a vehicle for the mind. In other words, as we're traversing the reality of our life, the mantra or the little thing that we say to ourselves, that's where we sit in.

So like in my little like magnetic ball thing that I play with that keeps me from having jittery hands, if that was the passenger. The mantra moves us forward. So I have two questions. My phone, my phone's dancing phone heard the Carpenters were playing. Okay, so if you are moving through your day today, I have a two question mantra for you. This is kind of a long mantra, but you can take any part of goes like this. The first question says, enoughness answers the question. Here's the one. Am I worthy?

Am I valid? Am I capable? So you could be walking down the street, am I worthy? Am I valid? Am I capable? Am I worthy? Am I valid? Am I capable? The second question is, yeah, so now what can I do? Am I worthy? Am I valid? Am I capable? Yeah, so now what can I do? Am I worthy? Am I valid? Am I capable? Yeah, so now what can I do? This is the heart of the enoughness concept. Enoughness asks, hey, are you worthy? Are you capable? Are you valid? Are you enough? Are you all of these things and you may go, I don't know, make the question smaller.

In this moment, are you somewhere? Are you present? Are you feeling your feels and thinking your thoughts? If the answer is no, no, no, no, no, keep making the Things smaller. Right. Keep making the scope of where you're asking that question smaller and get to the place where you go. Yeah, you know what? I am sitting in this chair. I am alive. Yeah, that's true. Great. You got a yes. So then ask now. What can you do? Ms. Shannon Paul pulls more lyrics from the song don't worry, don't worry that it's not good enough.

Sing be where you are with what you got and make the most out of it. Jules says yes, and I will be the best parent cheerleader for my daughter's basketball game today. In the grand scheme of things, the world may say, jules, but is that enough? And Jules, I know you will go f. Yeah, it is. Because we know the power of being in the moment and being in those places. You know, when I walked downstairs a little bit ago to wake up, my oldest dog, Hamilton, was sitting on the couch. And every day I wonder, gosh, when are you not going to be here?

And I got down on my knees, I put him in my arms. And that moment was everything. Why? Because I was worthy, capable, valid, and enough in that moment to spend time with my little creature. And then I nuzzled into that moment. So as we go back to a little Sesame street, sing along. I hope you have a great day. It's not good enough for anyone else to hear. Sing. Sing a song, y'all, even if you don't know this song. Hamza, AJ I hope you're sitting on next to the pool right now and singing some lalas.

Let's have a great Saturday, y'all. I will be back tomorrow. But no matter when you need something, Cadre is always here for you. Peace, y'all.
