Careful What You Ask For

I've been careful to make a list of things I want for my life because I believe that these things are coming for me. The thing is, they don't always happen the way I expect them to. 

Sometimes you need to be more specific. Sometimes, be aware that the good things coming for you are housed in lessons. What is it that you're manifesting for your life? Are you being specific enough? Are you sure that the difficulties you're going through aren't actually the good things inside a lesson you need to learn in order to accept them?

Welcome back, y'all, to the randomest podcast ever. I took a little, just a little break, but I'm back. it wasn't even that much of a break, but I'm just happy to be back with y'all. And I'm back with some of the most randomest shit. I'm still in my healed and healing journey. But what I realize is that as I sit and I'm processing what it is that I want, desire and deserve, right? And y'all, I'm gonna tell y'all I'm sipping with this one. This, this, this, I'm sipping. I'm just sipping on a little Riesling because I need to keep my spirit calm and chill, but I got a little something for this, right? What today I want to share with you guys is be careful what you ask for. I'm going to tell y'all, I have been who child, I have been writing down, being very clear and specific about what it is that I want in my life. What does that look like for me? And what I'm going to tell you, I don't care if it's God, universe, him, she, them, or they, Whoever it is, if you got a whole team of people behind you, they are listening and they will deliver that shit just how you ask, but you gotta be specific. You have got to be specific. So I had a whole list of a person, especially once you start to like really say like, Hey, what is it that I want? Cause I have seen some things in some relationships that you'd be like, I don't, I know I don't want that. So instead of focusing on the lack, I focus on abundance. And let me tell y'all, it's been coming in abundance. It comes in. It's like, Hey, you asked for what you got it. I made a list of what type of person I would want to have as my partner, as my future. And I'm going to tell you, you never said I heard you and gave me the whole damn list. But guess what? Their ass wasn't single. I have met some of the most amazing people. They just might not have been my person, but they've been absolutely amazing. When I sit down and I think about what I have written down and what I see for my future self, and it doesn't matter if it's now or if it was 20 years ago. Sometimes they take their time with giving it to you, but they will give it to you just how you ask. And you have to be clear on what that looks like. Y'all don't be playing because I'm gonna tell you God, universe, them or they, whoever your tribe is, they got your back, they listening. They are listening. So in this healed and healing journey, while yes, I wrote down a list of, Hey, this is what I would like if somebody will come into my space, please can they be this amazing? And they sent me some amazing ass people, but they wasn't my people. Just the minor details, right? So I had to go back and tweak the list a couple of times. But in this journey of asking for what I want, I wanted peace, sanity, and balance. And I told y'all that back in the beginning and they said, this is how we're going to give it to you. We're going to make you uncomfortable so that you understand and own your peace. We going to shake you up. So you understand the bad and the good. So you get your balance. And you won't go into that inner work. So your ass could be saying in the midst of insanity. And I was like, shit, they didn't gave me what I asked for. They are giving it to me. But mind you, it ain't coming out. I thought it was going to come. I ain't even gonna lie. I've been kind of like, wait a minute. I thought I just asked for the basics and they gave me a little razzle dazzle. I didn't need the razzle dazzle. I just wanted the basics. Could you have made it easy? Maybe I should have asked for easy, but I didn't. So in this space of like healing and healed and what I put out that I want, what it is that I see for myself, I had to revisit the list because I'm telling you right now, this is crazy at how How I am supported and they show up for me because they was like, Hey, Trish, you asked for it. This is what I'm gonna give you because I learned a long time ago that you don't pray to God and you don't pray to whoever you pray to. You don't ask for strength because what they do is they put you in positions to be strong. So here I am thinking I'm coming from the brighter side of life and asking for peace. And so within the peace that I'm asking for, what do they do? Disrupt everything until you learn to experience it and own it within you because the outside shouldn't disrupt you. Damn. Did y'all feel that? I'm gonna take a sip on that one. Because the reality is you have to appreciate the storm to get to the sunshine. And sometimes that storm looks really rocky for some. And life just throws you a boulder and not just a curve ball. But then on the other hand, you get the other side where you have to learn the lessons. And sometimes we are looking outside for our lessons and the lessons are coming from within. Cause I'm gonna tell you on this healed and healing journey, I've been doing that shadow work. And when they talk about that shadow, you know, that friend that walk with you every day. That know the truth that's behind you at every step is with you in the darkness when you can't see them and damn sure they're in the light when you can see them and they got your back. They know everything that side is like, wow. And I've made so many discoveries about self. Things that might trigger. Where does this stem from? Right. And it's like, wow. And even though sometimes with life throwing a curve ball or a boulder, right? I'm still able to take ownership of my shit. What did you ask for? What is this showing you? Now I'm gonna tell y'all something funny, my cousin, she cracks me up, but she is one who knows me like the back of my hand. I know her like the back of her hand. We pick a side, the tan side, dark side. We got it. Right. But I laugh because she, oh, she talks about how like I encounter people. Right. And when it doesn't work out, I'd be like, okay, it didn't work out. That wasn't my person. And I moved the fuck on. Cause that's what you do. You just move the fuck on. Cause you're not supposed to stay here. I believe that the universe said you wasn't mine. So, I should keep moving. And I move just that easily. It's not moving in a sense that I need to look for something. Cause I'm never really searching. It just happens. But I do move on. I take the lesson I'm supposed to get from it. I appreciate everything that I've learned. Even the hardships I take that and I move the fuck on because I'm gonna tell you this life Keeps moving Y'all I'm still waiting on February 29th and it's leap year We in the summer and I'm just like where did the time go? It keeps moving So why should I stay still? Um, I'm learning these lessons and I'm moving forward because I'm owning this shit. Things have popped up. It's made me aware. Some things have been uncomfortable and I told y'all it's been an uncomfortable ride, but I'm enjoying the ride. I'm enjoying a little bumps. It may not be smooth pavement and we on the gravel, but I'm enjoying the ride. The connections that I get to have, the connections that I get to lose. I appreciate them. Cause it don't stop nothing. I gotta keep going. I gotta keep growing. That might be a whole rap. I'm about to be on Atlantic Records y'all, cause that was a whole rap. Don't judge me. Blame it on the wine. I'm a couple glasses in. But I definitely want you guys to know that you get what you ask for. Ask for the world because you deserve it. And it's coming. Believe you, me, it's coming. Um, every last one who is listening to this podcast as of today, whenever you are listening to it, you have now survived a hundred percent of your bad days. Keep going and keep growing and be careful what you ask for because they are listening. It is coming. Believe it. And that ain't the wine talking. I'm being for real. It's coming. This was a quickie for me, but it was short and sweet. You get what you ask for. So be specific and be very careful about what you ask for because it's coming. Believe in you and believe it's coming. And um, buy that next record. it's going to be called keep going and growing, whichever way we want to look at it. But look at me, check me out on BT awards. Um, next year until next time. Thank you. Cause I know y'all got options. We'll talk soon.
