What is your win? Yeah, let's think about it. Because when we pause and reflect, it affirms how much we've poured into ourselves.

Right? It affirms our growth. It affirms who we are and where we're going. Awesome. Cooking food, improving my mental health. Come on now. That's what I love to hear. I love it. I love it, I love it. Part of my wellness hour that I was able to engage in was. Yes. Decluttering. Working on some spaces in my house with a family. It's four of us and two of them play sports. It just gets a lot of. We have a lot of equipment. And so this morning I did. I took 30 minutes to declutter a space in our house.

So we're winning, y'. All. Every bit counts. Every effort that matters. Every effort matters. It does. You know, from choosing an apple over a bag of chips, every effort matters. Okay? Every effort that you put towards cooking your own food. Hello. Matters. So keep up the good work. That's all I'm saying is keep up the good work because you are absolutely worthy. You Are absolutely worthy. So keep up the good work. So let's shift a little bit. Let's shift. I'm holding y' all accountable today. I want to talk about bold is my middle name.

Bold is my middle name now. So here at get to the root, I'm a Christian based counselor and coach. And so the cool thing that I do out of respect for other people, I just want to respect others. But I just want to give you this disclaimer of who I am and how I move. I. I was reading a scripture today and let me pull it up so you can have it. It is Proverbs 28 and 1. Proverbs 28. 1 Proverbs 20. If you are a believer. I just wanted to share this with you this morning. Proverbs 28 and 1. Okay, let me get it.

Hold on. I know y' all give me one second. Got it. Proverbs 28 and 1b. But the righteous are bold as a lion. And I was thinking about this, like, oh, I am righteous, right? But I'm bold as a lion. And then I was thinking, okay, bold is my middle name. And then I was thinking, oh, my Cadre family needs to know this too, because bold is their middle name. You are called to be bold. And let me give you a definition. Bold means not hesitating. Bold means going beyond the normal limit or capacity in your actions or thoughts.

You are bold. And if you have not stepped into your bold era, today is your day. Today is your day to step in. What's up, Randy? To step into your bold season. This season, the month of August represents the number eight. And it means new beginnings. And some of us has been. Have been walking in boldness and talking more assertively and not shrinking. Because we talked about not shrinking last week. Well, listen, the step up from that is walking in boldness. And so not hesitating, not second guessing, not doubting, not moving because of fear, but moving because of courage, but moving because of clarity and moving because of your conviction.

So I want you to think about this. Who told you to shrink? Who told you to shrink to live an abbreviated life? Who told you to play small? Who told you to think small? Because that's the very opposite of being bold. And boldness have. Has very important connections to it. Meal. So when we are bold, and we are bold at home and we're bold at work, it opens doors for us. And boldness is not being a bulldozer. It's a choice. And it's not based on your personality. It's a choice. It's a choice not to hesitate.

Right? It's a choice to move beyond your normal limits. That's what bonus means. And I want to charge you and encourage you. Come on. I want to charge you and encourage you to move beyond your limits and to answer yourself. Answer. Who is telling you so if the voice in your head is telling you to shrink, to be abbreviated to live an edited version, you need to shut it up. Yes. You need to say silence. That's not my voice. That's the voice in your head. So what is your voice? And if your voice hasn't come into the understanding that boldness is your middle name, well, today is your day, sis.

Bold. And brothers, Bold is your middle name. Bold is your middle name. You're not hesitating. You're not second guessing. And you're gonna move beyond the limits that you have walked in before. Because it's not based on personality. It's not based on age, color or creed. It's a choice. It's a choice. And when you think about people that you like or admire you, I mean, how could I do that? How is it that they can just go in a room and say that? How can they just go ask for their raise? Or how can they just go ahead and set their boundaries with their children and say, this is my time.

Don't come in here. It's not. It's no different. There's no difference between you and them. It's just a choice. It's a choice that you can. It's a choice that you can. So think about this. Bold is my middle name. And I'm not hesitating and I'm not moving and I'm not going to shrink and I'm not going to live an abbreviated life anymore. Anymore. Because the righteousness are bold as lions. So I want you to sit back. If you. I want you to be that investigator of your own life, right? And when I look at.

When I. I don't really look at csi, but sometimes I do. If I'm at my mom's house, she likes to look at all these, like, detective shows. And that's fine, but detectives are really strategic. They are very. They're looking at the fine detail down to the hair follicle, down to the. Your fingerprint. They are very strategic and mindful. So that's what I encourage you to be this week. To be aware of the places and spaces and around the people that you find yourself shrinking around. Be aware and ask yourself why?

Because bold is my middle name. I don't Hesitate. I don't shrink back. Why? It is something about that person, place, or thing that leads you to shrink. So once you know your roots, you can move about it, right? Sometimes the root can be childhood. Sometimes the root can be past experiences. Sometimes the root can be past criticism or judgment. Sometimes we shrink because we don't want to be rejected or disapproved. Sometimes we. We shrink or we don't walk in our boldness because we are perfectionists and we want everything to be perfect.

Boldness doesn't have that criteria. Nothing about boldness says I have to be perfect. It just says I don't hesitate. So I encourage you, Randy. I encourage you, Melissa. I encourage you, Ahmed. Ahmed. If I'm saying your name right, go look it up. Go research the word bold and decide. Today I'm gonna move boldly. Decide today I'm gonna honor myself. I'm gonna honor my gifts, my talents, my callings. To walk in my boldness because you deserve it. And when you walk in your boldness and you say, at work, I'm gonna ask for that raise, I'm gonna begin to sub going to share my point of view.

I'm going to make suggestions. And at home, if you say, hey, I'm going to set the boundary with my time, with my money and resources. I'm going to communicate my needs. When you decide to do that, you get to shift spaces, environment, nations, and community when you do that. Because then you will inspire others. You will inspire others to do the same. Because out of respect for self, I'm going to move in my boldness, right? And you're going to give other people permission not to shrink or live an abbreviated life.

Take a deep breath in and blow it out. Agree with me. Bold is my middle name. It takes courage, clarity and conviction. Courage, clarity, conviction. And you have all three. You already have it. It's in you. If you don't understand it yet, sit with yourself. Begin to identify. Begin to give yourself clarity on why you should move boldly. What is the personal conviction? Why is it necessary for you to do so? And then you just tap in. Courage. Courage means doing things. Afraid. You do it anyway. Do it anyway.

Thumbs up. Drop a heart so I know you. Good. You hear me? You're clear. You are activated this week because bold is your middle name. Bold is your middle name. Say it with me. Type it in there.
