“Today, we release what has been weighing us down.” Family… today we face a brick that has been quietly draining energy, clarity, and peace — often without us even realizing it. The Brick of Unforgiveness. This brick is heavy. Heavier than most. Because it’s built from pain. From disappointment. From betrayal. From words that hurt. From moments we never got closure on. And I want to be very clear about something right from the start: Unforgiveness does not punish the other person. It punishes YOU. And today… we put an end to that. --🧠 Step 1 — UNDERSTAND WHAT UNFORGIVENESS REALLY IS Unforgiveness is not strength. It’s not protection. It’s not holding someone accountable. Unforgiveness is carrying emotional weight that does not belong in your future. It shows up as: anger that resurfaces unexpectedly resentment that drains your energy replaying old moments in your mind emotional reactions that feel bigger than the present moment feeling stuck without knowing why Every time you hold onto unforgiveness, you are carrying a brick from the past into your future. And that brick does not fit in the life you are building. --👀 Step 2 — SEE THE BRICK CLEARLY Picture the brick in front of you. It’s labeled UNFORGIVENESS. This brick was built every time: someone hurt you and never apologized someone let you down someone betrayed your trust you were treated unfairly you didn’t forgive yourself Yes — yourself too. This brick kept you emotionally tied to moments that are over. And today… we release it. --🤜 Step 3 — DESTROYING THE BRICK (THIS IS AN INTERNAL RELEASE) This brick is not destroyed with anger. It is destroyed with decision. I want you to imagine placing both hands on this brick. Feel its weight. Feel how long you’ve been carrying it. And then say — either out loud or in your mind: “I release this. Not for them. For me.” As you say it, imagine the brick cracking. Not violently. But completely. It breaks apart… and falls to the ground.

“Today, we choose self-respect over approval.” Family… today we tear down a brick that has stolen more time, energy, and direction than most people realize. The Brick of People-Pleasing. This brick doesn’t look dangerous. It looks polite. It looks kind. It looks helpful. But behind the scenes, it does something destructive: It pulls you away from your own goals to keep everyone else comfortable. And I want you to hear this clearly from me: You cannot build your future while carrying everyone else’s expectations. So today, we put this brick on the ground and break it. 🧠 Step 1 — Understand What People-Pleasing Really Is People-pleasing is not kindness. It is fear of disapproval wearing a friendly mask. It sounds like: “I don’t want to upset them.” “I’ll do it later after I help everyone else.” “I don’t want to say no.” “What if they don’t like me?” Every time you choose someone else’s comfort over your own growth, this brick grows heavier. And eventually, it becomes another wall. 👀 Step 2 — See the Brick Clearly Picture the brick in front of you. It’s labeled OTHER PEOPLE FIRST. This brick was built every time you: said yes when you meant no delayed your goals to avoid conflict silenced your needs put your dreams on hold This brick didn’t make you a better person. It made you a smaller version of yourself. And today… we remove it. 🔨 Step 3 — Destroying the Brick Lift the hammer calmly. This isn’t an angry swing. It’s a decisive one. You strike the brick once. It cracks. You strike again. It breaks apart. And as it falls, you immediately replace it — so nothing rushes in to fill the space. 📐 What Replaces People-Pleasing We replace this brick with SELF-RESPECT, BOUNDARIES, AND SELF-TRUST. 1️⃣ Self-Respect You matter. Your time matters. Your goals matter. Exercise this daily: Before agreeing to something, ask: Does this support the future I’m building? 2️⃣ Boundaries Boundaries are not walls. They are doors you control. You decide who has access to your time and energy.

“Today, we stop living for other people’s opinions and start living for our future.” Family… By now, you can feel it. The wall that once boxed you in is barely standing. You can see your dream clearly through the openings. You can feel your future pulling you forward. Today, we destroy a brick that tries to pull you backward — not with force, but with other people’s opinions. Today we tear down the Brick of Fear of Judgment. 🧠 Why This Brick Has So Much Power Fear of judgment is subtle. It doesn’t say, “Don’t go after your dream.” It says things like: “What will they think?” “What if I look foolish?” “What if I fail in public?” “What if people talk?” This brick kept you quiet. It kept you small. It kept you playing safe behind the wall. But hear me clearly: You were not meant to build your future around other people’s comfort. And today, we put an end to that. 👀 Step 1 — See the Brick for What It Is Picture the brick in front of you now. It’s labeled OTHER PEOPLE’S OPINIONS. This brick was built every time you: held back your truth delayed your growth dimmed your light waited for permission But today, you understand something powerful: Judgment is unavoidable. Growth is optional. And you choose growth. 🔨 Step 2 — Destroying the Brick Lift the hammer calmly — not emotionally. One solid strike. The brick cracks. Another strike. It collapses. And as it falls, something immediately replaces it. 💪 What Replaces Fear of Judgment This brick is replaced with three powerful tools — and from today forward, you must exercise them daily, just like a muscle. 1️⃣ Self-Approval You no longer need permission to grow. You approve of your effort. You approve of your consistency. You approve of your becoming. Exercise this daily: Each day, acknowledge one thing you did that aligned with your future. 2️⃣ Authentic Confidence Not loud confidence. Not ego. Real confidence — built from action. Confidence grows every time you show up honestly. Exercise this daily: Speak and act from truth, not from fear of reaction.

“Today we learn the difference between pausing with intention and stopping out of fear.” Today is an important day because I want to clear up something that can easily be misunderstood. We are destroying the Brick of Hesitation — not the power of pausing. There is a difference. A big difference. And if you don’t understand it clearly, the brick masons will try to confuse the two. 👂 First, Let Me Say This Clearly It is OKAY to pause. It is healthy to pause. It is wise to pause — especially when making important decisions. Pausing allows you to: breathe think clearly connect to awareness listen to intuition respond instead of react Pausing is strength. But hesitation? Hesitation is something else entirely. 👀 The Difference Between a Pause and Hesitation A Pause Is Intentional A pause says: “I’m staying present while I choose my next step.” You are still engaged. Still aware. Still moving internally. A pause is active. It keeps you aligned with your goal. Hesitation Is Avoidance Hesitation says: “I’ll stop everything because I’m uncomfortable.” It looks like: freezing delaying action indefinitely overthinking until momentum dies stopping progress altogether disconnecting from your purpose Hesitation is the old wall whispering: “Stay here. Don’t move. It’s safer.” And that’s the brick we destroy today. 🔎 Step 1 — Identify the Brick Correctly Picture the brick in front of you. It is labeled HESITATION — not “pause,” not “rest,” not “reflection.” This brick was built every time you: knew what to do but didn’t start waited for perfect certainty paused too long and lost momentum stopped moving forward altogether This brick did not protect you. It delayed your life. 🔨 Step 2 — Destroying the Brick Lift the hammer calmly. This is not an emotional swing. This is a confident one. You strike the brick once. It cracks. You strike again. It collapses. And as it falls, you replace it immediately — so nothing slips back in. 💯 What Replaces Hesitation We replace hesitation with DECISIVE PAUSING + COMMITTED ACTION.

Family… this brick has kept more people trapped than they ever realized. Comparison. And right beside it — the need for external validation. This is the brick that says: “They’re further ahead than me.” “Why is it working for them and not me?” “I should be doing better by now.” “If people don’t see my progress, does it even count?” This brick pulls your eyes off your path and turns them toward someone else’s lane. And the moment that happens, the wall tries to rebuild itself. Today… we stop that completely. 🧠 Step 1 — Understand the Trap Comparison is not motivation. It’s distraction dressed up as awareness. External validation is not confidence. It’s insecurity asking for permission. Let me say this clearly: The moment you compare your chapter to someone else’s, you abandon your own story. And this journey you’re on? It is personal. It is precise. It is unfolding exactly as it should. 👀 Step 2 — See the Brick Clearly Picture the brick in front of you. It’s labeled: “LOOK OUTSIDE INSTEAD OF WITHIN.” This brick was built every time you: measured yourself against someone else waited for approval before believing in yourself let someone else’s progress shrink your own questioned your worth because it wasn’t visible yet This brick weakened your focus and drained your emotional energy. Today… we remove it. 🔨 Step 3 — Destroying the Brick Lift the hammer again. But this time, the swing is decisive. One strike — the brick cracks. Second strike — it splits down the middle. As it falls, something powerful fills the space: Self-reference. You begin measuring yourself only against who you were yesterday. That’s real growth. That’s real confidence. That’s real power. 💪 Step 4 — What Replaces This Brick: INTERNAL VALIDATION From this point forward: Your effort counts — even when no one sees it Your consistency matters — even when it’s quiet Your growth is real — even before it shows externally You stop asking: “Do they see me?” And start knowing: “I see me.”
