Peace, peace, everyone. It's your girl, Sequoia Blue. Hope everybody doing all
00:00:04.117 --> 00:00:05.277
right out here in these streets.
00:00:06.137 --> 00:00:09.157
Today, I want to talk about how it's never too late.
00:00:09.757 --> 00:00:13.857
You know, when I was growing up, you know, when I was fully focused on just
00:00:13.857 --> 00:00:17.097
music, and that was it at the time, because it's all I thought I could do,
00:00:17.497 --> 00:00:20.257
people used to always tell me, oh, if you don't make it by 25,
00:00:21.157 --> 00:00:23.097
then you can't make it with music.
00:00:23.257 --> 00:00:27.737
Now, and this is what whatever making it means to you, because making it doesn't
00:00:27.737 --> 00:00:31.017
mean anything to somebody. Somebody might not want to be famous with music.
00:00:31.157 --> 00:00:34.977
Somebody might just want to get a recording studio and just put music out online.
00:00:35.157 --> 00:00:36.237
I mean, it's just whatever.
00:00:36.537 --> 00:00:40.217
At the time, making it meant fame because I thought fame meant money.
00:00:40.317 --> 00:00:43.297
But I know nowadays that it doesn't always mean money.
00:00:43.657 --> 00:00:49.237
So, you know, at that time, I was impressionable because I was younger.
00:00:49.517 --> 00:00:52.237
And looking back, I'm like, that's not true.
00:00:52.977 --> 00:00:56.837
You can actually do whatever you want at any time you want. There's no rules
00:00:56.837 --> 00:00:58.517
to this thing. Everything's made up.
00:00:58.857 --> 00:01:03.017
So if you want to start at 50 doing music, you can. If you want to start at
00:01:03.017 --> 00:01:04.437
50 to become a lawyer, you can.
00:01:05.257 --> 00:01:09.797
There's this thing in society that wants to put a cap on you, especially women.
00:01:11.077 --> 00:01:15.217
And I still think it's fair. And I think we have to keep pushing to let people
00:01:15.217 --> 00:01:20.137
know that you can do anything at any time because time is going to go by anyway.
00:01:20.457 --> 00:01:24.357
And right now, time is going by so fast, you can't even keep up with it.
00:01:24.637 --> 00:01:27.537
So you might as well just start doing something you want to do.
00:01:28.217 --> 00:01:32.077
And anybody around you that want to tell you you can't do it and want to talk
00:01:32.077 --> 00:01:35.057
some salt into your game, then you need to get rid of them.
00:01:35.577 --> 00:01:39.437
You got to cut people off. And I know it's just a tough thing,
00:01:39.597 --> 00:01:41.357
but I don't even care if it's relatives.
00:01:42.037 --> 00:01:45.597
You got to cut them off or at least put some distance in between you.
00:01:46.517 --> 00:01:50.177
And, you know, and also just jealous people, like be aware, you know,
00:01:50.397 --> 00:01:55.217
see who is just jealous and trying to pull you down because maybe they didn't
00:01:55.217 --> 00:01:57.277
get what they wanted. And like, maybe they're too scared.
00:01:58.217 --> 00:02:00.697
So they'll try to tell you, oh, you're too old to be doing that.
00:02:00.937 --> 00:02:04.457
No, you're not. You're not too old. You can do anything you want.
00:02:05.117 --> 00:02:07.817
You know, and health matters. Do I think people should, you know,
00:02:07.957 --> 00:02:10.077
start working out in your 20s, start eating right?
00:02:10.217 --> 00:02:14.597
Yes, because it helps longevity. It helps you be able to have more energy to
00:02:14.597 --> 00:02:15.777
do things as you get older.
00:02:15.937 --> 00:02:19.217
But it doesn't nothing stops you from doing anything you want to do.
00:02:20.337 --> 00:02:24.797
And I'm going to tell you the story about I forgot her name was this lawyer
00:02:24.797 --> 00:02:27.357
that killed herself maybe maybe two years ago.
00:02:27.537 --> 00:02:30.277
Chelsea, I'm trying to find her name, but,
00:02:31.133 --> 00:02:33.513
A lot of people probably know the story, but if you Google Chelsea,
00:02:33.773 --> 00:02:36.213
the lawyer that that killed herself,
00:02:36.533 --> 00:02:41.673
it was a crazy situation because she said that she felt like she was getting
00:02:41.673 --> 00:02:45.273
too old and stuff like she was getting older and she was only 32 and she felt
00:02:45.273 --> 00:02:47.373
like she wasn't where I guess she wanted to be.
00:02:47.373 --> 00:02:50.093
Now i think somebody in history probably whispered in
00:02:50.093 --> 00:02:52.933
her ear or something and and said
00:02:52.933 --> 00:02:56.713
something and she's like oh you know maybe maybe they're
00:02:56.713 --> 00:02:59.853
right whatever and she took it upon herself to jump
00:02:59.853 --> 00:03:02.573
from a hotel and and kill herself but not hotel it's
00:03:02.573 --> 00:03:05.573
actually her apartment i believe and i was like
00:03:05.573 --> 00:03:08.573
dang only 32 i mean she was gorgeous she
00:03:08.573 --> 00:03:12.393
had she had she was intelligent she just
00:03:12.393 --> 00:03:15.953
had a lot going on for her you know and I think
00:03:15.953 --> 00:03:18.713
she won I think she won Miss America too but I forgot
00:03:18.713 --> 00:03:21.993
which year but she she was just a talented
00:03:21.993 --> 00:03:26.613
lady she she had ignomatic vibes
00:03:26.613 --> 00:03:29.713
about her you know she'll get on social media people follow her she had a big
00:03:29.713 --> 00:03:33.933
following but somewhere down there she was worried about getting older you know
00:03:33.933 --> 00:03:37.553
she was depressed about that and I think that's sad you know I do think we attract
00:03:37.553 --> 00:03:41.053
what we keep thinking about I mean I think we can all live a great life until
00:03:41.053 --> 00:03:42.973
we're out of this thing. I mean, what's the alternative?
00:03:43.253 --> 00:03:45.593
You know, dying young? Why not want to grow old?
00:03:46.033 --> 00:03:50.753
What's the alternative? I mean, it doesn't make any sense not to want to grow
00:03:50.753 --> 00:03:53.593
old because that means you're living. You get to live and see the earth.
00:03:53.933 --> 00:03:56.633
You know, there are things that we all don't like about what's going on.
00:03:56.833 --> 00:04:02.193
Yeah, but you still get to live and who wants to die young?
00:04:02.353 --> 00:04:07.333
So, you know, it's one of those things where I feel like maybe if the right
00:04:07.333 --> 00:04:09.873
people was around her, she could have been here today.
00:04:09.873 --> 00:04:13.413
So there's other stories probably like hers that we don't even know about,
00:04:13.553 --> 00:04:15.953
but that one was a big story about two years ago.
00:04:17.093 --> 00:04:21.873
So I say that to say just just go after your whatever you want to do It don't
00:04:21.873 --> 00:04:23.953
matter what age you are time's gonna pass anyway,
00:04:24.813 --> 00:04:28.553
And get away from the naysayers anybody don't understand you at least take some
00:04:28.553 --> 00:04:32.033
some distance away from them So you can focus on what you need to do,
00:04:32.553 --> 00:04:36.733
And just know that the universe is conspiring to help you make it You know everything
00:04:36.733 --> 00:04:41.653
is whatever you put out and you and you want it If you want it bad, you will get it.
00:04:41.913 --> 00:04:44.273
Sometimes things happen overnight. No.
00:04:44.833 --> 00:04:49.533
Can it happen overnight? Yes. But just know that if you give up,
00:04:49.673 --> 00:04:50.573
then you're not going to get it.
00:04:51.133 --> 00:04:54.293
That's just the bottom line. So just keep going out there.
00:04:54.933 --> 00:04:57.973
And make sure you just keep a positive disposition as much as you can.
00:04:58.333 --> 00:05:02.973
Look at the mountains as one thing to tackle because life is not going to be
00:05:02.973 --> 00:05:07.153
cherries and puppies and kittens. You know, you're going to have things that's
00:05:07.153 --> 00:05:10.253
going to happen where it's going to knock your plan out of place.
00:05:10.373 --> 00:05:12.873
You'll be like, God dang, I was I was doing this and now I got to do this.
00:05:12.933 --> 00:05:14.553
Now I got to pay this. Now I got to talk to this person.
00:05:15.413 --> 00:05:18.813
Don't worry about it. Don't let that bring you down, because if you do,
00:05:19.033 --> 00:05:21.253
then you can't get to the goal. So.
00:05:22.131 --> 00:05:26.811
Like I said, just keep your head on the swivel, keep going, try to practice
00:05:26.811 --> 00:05:30.331
stoicism and stoicism is just staying out of your feelings all the time.
00:05:30.511 --> 00:05:33.891
It's okay to get into your feelings and understand it and adjust it.
00:05:34.111 --> 00:05:38.091
You know, I'm not saying don't understand your feelings, but stay out of your
00:05:38.091 --> 00:05:39.271
feelings at the same time.
00:05:39.451 --> 00:05:43.811
So you can focus on what you need to do because we only got one life and this
00:05:43.811 --> 00:05:46.831
dimension, you know, and that's that.
00:05:47.011 --> 00:05:50.891
