It takes time. It takes energy to really pull what you want from life. It is draining.. mentally and physically. Yet this life we live is limitless and the universe is only working for us..if we allow it to. Take some time to sit down. Be still. Think. Examine. Plot. “WHAT DO I WANT OUT OF LIFE?”

What are the requirements you need to fill in your life?? What kind of work do you need to do now to reap benefits in the future!? Be honest with yourself, genuinely ask yourself “what do I need from me to be satisfied” whatever that answer is... most likely is the key to your happiness.

A bit later than usual so this one was cooked up fresh. We have good 🌲 s. We have a singing song bowl...everybody needs a theme song. A song that turns them up! A song that puts them in a different head space. What is your theme song?? When you are finished listening to this episode, go to SwabRecords.com! The website was just updated!

Standing On Shaky Ground... A lot of questions are being asked during this episode. We keeping it short and direct. What do you do when you set a bar for yourself and you fall in the process of reaching it?? How do you handle the consequences of your actions?? Do you beat yourself up?? Do you sulk and constantly replay whatever happened??

Often times we want to express ourselves and our emotions. Without hurting somebody else. Without hurting ourselves. When it comes to music.. really any platform where emotions are recorded. Damaging or hurting feelings is never our intention. Yet biting our tongues and holding our breathes is never the answer either. Being constructively destructive... meaning channeling your energy into something creative. Musically expressing ourselves in moments is all we have so let’s not be hyper critical of our art. It is therapeutic.

Mstr Lacey and SonicDopeSeller are having a conversation about the specific emotion called “Anger”. Referencing the Bible “Ephesians Chapter. 4 Verse 26” BE ANGRY AND DON’T SIN.... after really looking at the rest of the verses that follow I get a greater look at what this means. Do not go to bed angry! Often times wifey and I have waves of emotions. From 2 very hard perspectives it is hard to put aside emotions. At the end of the day, why go to sleep with heavy weights on hour heart. We need to sleep with pleasure and peace.

Sometimes we have to reverse engineer results that we want. Sometimes we need to sit in the car and have an open conversation and ask ourselves “am I receiving what I’m asking for?”. Often times I get hyper focused on the results, often times I get hyper focused on the details and this will cause me to “freeze”. Being aware of this trait, already puts me in a situation to overcome. As days go by allow yourself to work on yourself without being critical. It takes time to see results and if you are looking everyday you may be discouraged in what you see.

Fed Up N Frustrated! Am I doing the wrong thing? Am I make the wrong decisions? When things aren’t going “my” way, why am I “failing”? These are questions I ask myself or questions my self asks me from time to time. Certain instruments bring out the story teller in me. This song was recorded live and you can feel it. The vocals pull you deep into the song and make you listen. Almost like a background song that you don’t realize is playing until you turn it up.. this is a song that becomes your subconscious. Given the time and space to 2nd guess ourselves is sometimes what we need to learn WHAT NOT TO DO! What happens when I doubt myself? My abilities? What happens when I go all in on myself?? What happens when I leave it all on the floor? This being another #SoulFullSunday I almost went to bed without uploading this episode. Doing better at holding myself accountable. I do get Fed Up N Frustrated. At the same time, what I do when I get there is what really matters. Being constructive with my energy is a blessing in disguise. SwabRecords.com
