0:00You better pick yourself up. Do you hear me? You better pick yourself up because if you haven't been paying attention, nobody else has.
0:09And I'm not saying that to hurt you. I'm saying it because some of y'all are still sitting around waiting for somebody to come save you from a life that's requiring your participation.
0:20Waiting for the apology, waiting for the support, waiting for somebody to finally see your pain and rebuild you for you.
0:27Meanwhile, life keeps moving. Listen, people may love you. People may care about you. People may
0:33encourage you. But at the end of the day, nobody can heal for you. Nobody can discipline for you.
0:39Nobody can get up and fight the internal battles for you. That part belongs to you. And I know that
0:45truth is uncomfortable because sometimes we want somebody else to carry us out of the darkness.
0:51But eventually you realize some battles require you to stand up even while shaking.
0:57You got to get up even when your mind is telling you not to get up when your feelings are heavy.
1:04Get up when life disappointed you because staying down too long becomes dangerous.
1:09And let me tell you something real. A lot of people are not stuck because they're incapable.
1:15They're stuck because they become emotionally committed to waiting, waiting to feel motivated,
1:22waiting for perfect timing waiting for life to become easier No you got to move anyway And hear me carefully Picking yourself up does not mean you pretending that you okay It means refusing to let your pain become your permanent residence
1:36It means crying and still trying, hurting and still healing, feeling exhausted and still
1:41deciding.
1:42I cannot stay here mentally.
1:44That's strength.
1:45And I still think some of y'all underestimate how powerful you actually are because you've
1:50things that should have mentally destroyed you already. But yet you're still here, still breathing,
1:58still fighting, still carrying purpose, whether you fully see it or not. And the crazy part is God
2:03is waiting on you to waiting on you to participate, waiting on you to trust him enough to move,
2:10waiting on you to stop sitting in defeat and start walking toward the life he's been trying
2:15to pull out of you because faith still requires movement. So yeah, you better pick yourself up.
2:20Not because life has been fair, not because people always showed up for you, but because your future is waiting on the version of you that stops waiting to be rescued.
2:30And I'm telling you this now. Nobody is coming to magically turn your life around for you.
2:35You are going to have to participate in your own healing and your own growth and your own discipline and your own peace.
2:42And the moment you accept that, that's when your life really starts changing, because sometimes the breakthrough is not people finally showing up for you.
2:50Sometimes the breakthrough is you finally showing up for yourself.
