Terry Crew’s episode begins
Coming out of an abusive household and art as a refuge
Athletics as a way out of Flint
Bet on me, being source for the family
Drawing teammates to make ends meet while in the NFL
Life after the NFL
From Alfa-male and friendships to the loss of identity
Deep depression, moving out of the pity party
Not seeing who we are, and stoping the descent
asking friends for money and moving beyond broke
Sweeping a factory floor and the magic of taking charge of your circumstance
Revisioning your low-point, beyond pride to self-responsibility
If anything needs to change it is on me, and making the hard stand in true friendship
The masculine sense of entitlement that is built in culturally
When pride prevents you from seeing things how they truly are
The lone male gong out their alone and dying in the pride of solitude
The caustic mix of religion and alcohol and the birth of shame
Pornography as an escape, and learning to have a double life to hold up the false-self
Becoming the false-self and descent into porn addiction
WifeI don’t know you anymore, I am leaving. Facing rock-bottom
Facing you darkest secrets
Guilt and shame, and facing it by coming clean
Facing another rock bottom
Being alone with yourself, who are you really
Facing the shadow, claiming the liar, and moving beyond
Believing the lie
Changing your beliefs
That I was more valuable than my wife and kids
Facing your own shadow and confronting way relating to those you love the most
The cult of masculinity and de-programming
Growing up without a role model and a process of individuation birthing boys to men
Pimp-culture
“The Game” keeping women off balance to manipulate and control
Bringing it back to psychology of slavery and pimp culture and praising this toxic masculinity
The thing you believe is the things that is repeatedly discussed and shown that is what you accept
A conscious state of questioning
The challenge of saying no to people, moving beyond people-pleaser
That is your power, the ability to say no, and yes! the impeccability of your word
The seismic shift within
“The world can be an illusion… I found there were things that were wrong with me that I liked… and that is a very dangerous place to be”
“You are priceless already, there is nothing you have to do to get more value” number one thing…. as a human being.
The opposite of creativity is competition
You need other people to be successful for you to be successful
“Creativity, you are the only person who can give what you got”
“You can only be creative when you know your value, when you know you are priceless”
The fallacy of being more valuable “when you become your wins, you inevitably must become your losses, and when you becoming losses thats where the challenges come in”
The cycle of shame
When you know you are good just the way you are, then you can do anything
The true success is just doing what you want
The power of authenticity and creativity
And that is where I choose to live, on my own planet
Choosing your atmosphere
Being at affect to other people’s agendas, vs being at cause
To know I am one person
Life gets better!
When you are free from the paradigm I am not jumping back in!
“I stand for love, I stand for strength, I stand for being a real man”
“Its impossible to realize an outside, without first realizing an inside!”
Death as a moving up
The sun does not go down, we go around the sun, its an illusion…
My spirit, it ain’t going nowhere
