Cadre Today - Sometimes You Have What You Need

Whenever I see your smiley face, I happen to smile myself. Because I love you. Yes, I do. When you give me that pretty little powder, it turns me inside out. There's something about you, jb. I don't know. Isn't it amazing? Good morning, Cadre. How are we doing on this Tuesday? I hope y' all are doing great, but I know that some of y' all are having a really rough day. I literally know that some of you have reached out and know that Cadre is. Is always here for you. Cadre's here as a maybe as a distraction or as a resource, as a comforting voice or a challenging, loving kick in the behind.

But if you're one of those people who's having a really rough day, you still have worth. And you're surrounded by a lot of. A lot of people who. Who care about you. I'm glad I'm here. I'm glad you're here. I know what I know, and I care about you. Nice to see you, Mafy. Happy Tuesday. You'll see in the title for today's live stream. I wrote about how. How. How everything you need is. Is. Is in you. Sometimes. I didn't write sometimes, but. But anything I say is always a maybe or every once in a while.

Or it could be. You just never know when. It's always important to remember that we're not finite beings. We're not binary, right or left A or B. But that sometimes everything you need is right in you. Let me tell you the story about Chuck. Chuck celebrated his 70th wedding anniversary yesterday. He's been married to Carol for 70 years. 70 years married. Chuck is 90 years old and has been married for 70 years. Throughout Chuck's life, Chuck has beaten polio. Chuck has raised two boys with Carol.

Morning, Shannon. Nice to see you, my friend. Chuck's lived a lot of life, but yesterday celebrated 70 years of being married to Carol. Chuck likes to sing. And even though Chuck likes to sing, his body is not. Is not doing that great. Can't hear very well. Can't walk his kidneys. This is every. Everything's kind of just not being nice to him. But yesterday, Chuck wanted to sing a song to Carol. He wanted to sing a song to his. His bride from 70 years ago. So he sat down on a chair. Carol sat down next to him, and he started to sing a song.

Over the next two minutes, he sang this beautiful, beautiful song. And. And for a moment, Chuck realized that he had everything that he needed to go ahead and do the thing that he loves to do. Good morning. One percent better. Ooh, Shannon, Accidental emoji. That sounds like a, Like a Taylor Swift song. Text her. Maybe you can get the. What do you call it? The. The royalties. Every time someone plays accidental emoji, Shannon gets a. Gets a nickel. So Chuck, 70th wedding anniversary, wants to sing to his bride, sits down in a chair without any accompaniment, without any counting, without any direction.

Chuck sang this beautiful song to Carol. Sometimes the things that we used to need in order to do the things that we want to do aren't needed anymore. You know, Chuck's been going through this. I can't sing anymore because I can't hear. I can't. I can't see, I can't. I can't use the tools like my ears or my. Or my eyes to go ahead and do the things that I love to do. It was a great reminder to everybody in the room, but especially to Chuck, that he may not be able to do the things he loves doing in the way he used to do them.

But a lot of times this wonderful vessel that we have gives us the capacity to do some of the things that we really need to do. What's that song? You can't always get what you want, but sometimes you get what you need. Everybody in that room got a rock show Yesterday watching this 90 year old person who somehow found the person he wanted to spend his life with and he actually was right 70 years to the day and he can still go ahead and sing to his bride and make her go, whoo. So my invitation for you today is to go, huh?

What's that thing that you really love doing or that you really need to do that sometimes? You need that external tool and all of a sudden if that tool falls away and you, gosh, now I can't do the thing. Like, what if all of a sudden your camera won't turn on your laptop and you go, oh my gosh, now we can't have our meeting. All of a sudden it's the phone call. Or what if all of a sudden your pen runs dry and you can't go ahead and write your journal entry today for your never miss a. Never miss a Tuesday one minute journal entry at 7:53am and all of a sudden you go, hey, voice memo.

Or you go, hey, you know what? I'm sitting at the coffee shop and there's a stranger over there. And you go, excuse me, stranger, I'm doing this one minute journal entry at 7:53am every single Tuesday. My pen's dead. Can I use yours? Or can I tell you my journal entry? And tomorrow I'm writing my journal entry about how yesterday I did this audio. There's always something in you that can allow you to find the thing that you need in the moment. Whether you've been married for 70 years, whether you're simply trying to get that d*** camera to work on your laptop.

Y', all, I will be back tomorrow, But Tuesdays is don't tell. Don't tell every other day. But Tuesdays is my favorite day for live streams in the Cadre sphere. Take a look at the lineup who's coming in later on today. But I'll remind you, if you're one of those people who's having a really, really rough day and a couple of y' all have reached out, that this day is not a great day in the Cadre sphere for you. Swim around, ask for what you need, and realize that the thing you need may be inside of you.

That may be time, patience, care. You giving yourself a break. You letting yourself hurt all those things. Yup. I'll see you tomorrow. Bye. You are who you are Just break my heart.
