A Saturday personal-development talk exploring the idea of enoughness through a childhood story about Lily who could run forever, encouraging reflection on the inner strengths people carry and how they use them.
101 JC hopes your weekend is bright. We talk personal development on Saturdays and self care on Sundays. This weekend is going to spend some time saying, hey, you on the other side of the screen. Think about all that awesome stuff that's going on inside of you. What do you do with it?
Luke: My niece Lily could run forever when she was three years old. People looked at Lily and thought she was superhuman. Enoughness is the idea that in every single moment we are in, we are capable of doing something amazing. Luke: Do one thing every day that will change your life forever.
Wonder says, in the Cadre sphere, we arrive dressed in our enoughness. Sometimes we never look down at our clothes to see how we're looking. What can you do to boot scoot through your Saturday?
Hey, good morning, Cadre. There's a little light. How are we doing? How are you doing this early start to the day? Are you up right now? Like, who's. Who's actually here live at 6:31 Central Standard Time? I know you haven't gotten your little update. There's a little update? Enoughness. 101 JC is live. Well, hey, if you are, there's Luke, there's Jules, there's crew coming on in today. How are we doing? Speak Wonder crew. It's nice to pick up our proverbial cup of coffee with y'all. I bet I'm gonna see a little sunshine emoji.
I bet I'm gonna see a little cup. I beat you to. I beat you, too. I knew they were coming. Well, hey, everybody. I hope your weekend is bright. I hope there is time for you to not do. I hope there's time for you to do. I hope there's time for you to do different. I hope there's time for you to do things you want to do, things you need to do. Time for you to see people, time for you to see yourself, all of those things. And I hope you're great. But if you're not, I think that's okay, too. So when we hit the weekend, we talk personal development on Saturdays and we talk self care on Sundays.
We put those two things together and the weekend, really, is that on purpose? Perhaps uncomfortable Opportunity to think about everything on the inside. The way that you respond, the way that you see, the way that you care, the way that you give, the way that you consume, all of those things. So, you know, in a couple of hours, you'll have Kristin Grimes, who I'll be handing the baton to, who spends her life thinking about, yeah, sure, the food we put into our body, but the way that we see it, the way that we understand it, the way that it makes us feel, all of these things.
Slitlish27. How are you, my friend? Nice to see you. I hope you're having a good Saturday morning, everybody. This weekend is going to spend some time saying, hey, you on the other side of the screen. Think about all that awesome stuff that's going on inside of you. What do you do with it? So I want to share a little story this morning about my niece, Lily. Lily's now, I don't know, grown up, in their 20, in their 20s, living in, I think, New York City right now. Lily's one of those people who is in New York one day is in Paris, the next is in London the next Is in la.
The next is is one of those spirits and souls. Anyways, a long, long, long, long time ago, when Lily was small, they used to run with my brother and myself. And Lily was one of those people who could run forever. Lily, when Lily was 3, would go ahead and just start running and would never stop running. And everyone would be like, oh, my gosh, look at Lily. Lily can run forever. I can't do that. Adults would say, I can't do that. But Lily can run forever. How? And Lily could run forever because Lily would run with enough energy in any moment to ensure that Lily could run forever.
We have that ability when we're a kid that we don't automatically go to. I'm gonna do everything I can do right now until I can't, and then I'm gonna crash and burn. You know, I always get the urge and he turned the heater off. I always get the urge to. To do another marathon, but my body says, nope, at least for right now. We're not going to let you do that. We're going to deal with the things we're dealing with, and. And we're not going to let you run a marathon. But I was a really successful marathon runner.
Why? Because I have always kind of had the gift to run like Lily did. I am really good at marathoning because I don't work that hard. I don't have it inside my head to physically kill myself. I don't go, go, go, go, go until I fall into a heap on the ground. I don't want to do that. I don't have a desire to do that. I don't think there's anything exciting about that. So I don't do that. So when I like doing races, I like doing really, really long races that require me to keep going forever and ever and ever and ever, Just like Lily did when she was three.
There's something about this enoughness concept that if we've spent time together before, you hear me talk about all of the time. If we haven't spent time together before, Enoughness is this idea that in every single moment we are in, we are thoroughly capable of doing something really, really amazing, as opposed to quite often, what the world says is, here's where we are now. If you only do this, then you will be capable of doing something that is amazing. So most people live most of their lives going, well, if I do X, then I will be worth something.
The then I will be capable of doing something. Then I can apply for the promotion, then I can speak up, Then I can be like my neighbor or whatever. Think about Lily. People looked at Lily and thought she was superhuman. Three year old. Cause she could run forever. Yo. 2 miles an hour. And it was just right here. This was Lily running. And Lily would do this for hours on end. What was amazing about it is that Lily knew that for Lily to accomplish what Lily wanted to accomplish, that's what Lily had to do.
The world interpreted it as she's super. That they were superhuman. I think we are all superhumans. And that's not like a. I think you're a superhuman. No, I think you are such a superhuman that you can do really remarkable things right now. Like, and by super, I mean things that are going to progressively move you towards better, better and better stuff. We are progressive beings. So what are you progressing to? You may be like, oh, I want to do that thing. But it's so far away. It's like, yeah, like Luke says, walking on treadmill in hotel.
Listen to one of my favorite peeps. Guess what? Walking on a treadmill. People always ask me, jc, if I'm going to do one thing for my health every day, that'll change my physical health forever, what would you suggest? I literally get asked this all the time, and I always say the exact same thing. My answer is, always sit on the ground and stand up five times a day. Not a chair. Like, sit on the ground and stand up five times a day. If you do that from as young as possible to as old as possible, and it'll literally change your life.
Why? Because people who have chairs lose the ability to sit on the ground. People who don't have chairs, they never lose the ability to sit on the ground. They bop down on the ground and standing up. No matter if they're living in poverty, no matter if they're living with disease, no matter if they're living with no food and no water, I'll tell you, they're a heck of a lot better at sitting on the ground than people who got chairs do. Why? Because they have the routine of doing an action. So just like Luke right now walking on a treadmill, Guess what that's going to be really good for Luke's ability to move joints, muscles, and to allow ligaments and tendons to support those muscles and, you know, skeletal elements of his body in the way that walking helps speak.
Wonder says, in the Cadre sphere, we arrive dressed in our enoughness. Yeah, but sometimes we never look down at our clothes to see. To see how. How we're looking. You are always in style in your enoughness. I'll take that one step further. Speak wonder right? No matter what you're wearing. Like, I got my, my Vikings purple Gulf of Mexico sweatshirt on this morning because it's kind of a lighter sweatshirt. Guess what? I am totally enough like this. I always look at, I always scroll through all the previously recorded live streams and everybody else always looks very lovely because theirs are most of the time in the middle of the day where they actually have to get up and not look like a hermit that just crawled out of the cave.
And mine are often very early in the morning and I look like said hermit who's crawled out of the cave. And I'm not saying that I don't look lovely, but I, I, I'm okay looking like the hermit coming out of the cave because guess what? Hermits are cool. And now I'm gonna go live my best hermit life. Y'all thinking about what's the opportunity today? How can I boot scoot just like Lily did when they were 3 years old? What can you do to boot scoot through your Saturday? I suggest doing that. Y'all have a good one.
We'll talk to you later. Bye.
