S5E22: Your Perfect Life Is Waiting. Why Aren't You Living It? | Betty Guadagno

JClay:

If I reminded you that you are perfect, would you argue me down or step into your perfection? Welcome to perfect. Welcome to perfect. Where there are no excuses, no expectations, and we explore the world without limitations. I'm Jay Clay, rapper, and spiritual teacher with my co host Troy Washington, your friendly neighborhood realtor.

JClay:

Let's be real, so let's be perfect.

Troy Washington:

What up? What up? Welcome to perfect mode. And first off, let me start by telling y'all that we love y'all. We're grateful for the opportunity to be anywhere sharing our thoughts, hopefully, and helping you realize that you are perfect.

Troy Washington:

And the reason why I can say that unapologetically is because I know that you are one of 1. Numero uno. You cannot be replicated, duplicated. And the only reason the only reason you think that you're not perfect is if you're looking at this person next to you and saying I'm not there. But guess what?

Troy Washington:

You are you, and that's all you need. And, of course, it's yours truly, Troy Washington, your friendly neighborhood realtor. And I have my boy, Jay Clay, spiritual rapper and teacher. And we got a special guest today, but not necessarily just today, you know, ongoing from time to time. Our girl, Betty Quidaneo.

Troy Washington:

What up, Betty? How you doing? What up, Jay? How y'all doing, man?

Betty Guadagno:

Yeah. Feeling perfect. Thank you.

Troy Washington:

That's right. That's right. Because you are perfect, and that's how we gonna do it. And today, we about to get into it. We about to talk about your perfect life is waiting.

Troy Washington:

Why aren't you living it? Why? Tell us why. But what up, Jay? Which which What

JClay:

a happy Sunday to all my perfect people in perfect land at the perfect time, perfect day, perfect spot, talking about the perfect topic. Even though my my Facebook wasn't perfect, I was trying to share it on my personal page, and it's all it's all good. Me too.

Troy Washington:

I don't know what that's about, but shout out to you for breaking it up.

JClay:

It's all to the good. But yeah, I'm ready. We might as well just jump right into it because why not? So the perfect your perfect life is waiting. Why aren't you living it?

JClay:

And to start off, why don't you start us off, Betty? What what what does the perfect life really mean? Like, what does that mean to you?

Betty Guadagno:

I think it's definitely subjective to each person. You know? For me, a perfect life is something that's aligned with spiritual principles. Yeah. A life where I can feel confident being honest, open minded, willing, accepting, patient, tolerant, all those things.

Betty Guadagno:

And I I was thinking about the topic before we before we logged in, and I think I think what blocks a lot of people, myself included, for a really long time from living their perfect life is that they don't feel worthy. You know, these limiting beliefs that have been programmed in us for so long that tell us that we're not worthy of a perfect life, we're not worthy of happiness, that we have to work really hard for it. And maybe one area of your life can be perfect, but that means that the other area can't. Maybe you'll have a lot of money, but you're never gonna find a mate. Or maybe you have a spouse, but you're never gonna have friends and just a lot of limiting beliefs, negative self talk.

Betty Guadagno:

I think that's probably the main block to people in living a life that's worth living.

JClay:

Yeah. But so but but do people really know what a perfect life even looks like to even get through that, to even live it? You know what I mean? Like, just just can you conceptualize a perfect life? Like, Troy, what does that mean to you?

JClay:

Perfect.

Troy Washington:

Well, to answer your question, I think that you can conceptualize the perfect life, but I think that a part of that is us never taking the time to really realize what the perfect life is is to us. Because you asked, like, what does a perfect life really look like? But a lot of times, we don't look at that. So what we end up doing is we're planning for things that we feel like are better, but we're living a life that we don't like like or we're not necessarily in full gratitude. So, therefore, we're the things that we don't want.

Troy Washington:

And so I just think that conceptualizing it is definitely a thing, but a part of that is taking the time out to really realize what that looks like. And that's something that I know that we don't do because time is always of the essence in everything that most people do around me. So

JClay:

So so it sounds like kinda just to combine what y'all are saying is you're so busy living life. You are taking the steps to make it more perfect, but it's kinda like fear based steps. Like, you're you're you're more so trying to get out of the situation than to get into a one a a situation that you like. Is that fair to say?

Betty Guadagno:

I really like that. Yeah. I I like the idea. Well, I mean, I don't like that. That's terrible.

Betty Guadagno:

But, yes, that I think that's what people people are doing. I think that's a a good combination of our thoughts so far. And, yeah, I think that it's funny. As you were just saying, like, what is a perfect life? I was just thinking, for me, it's one where I'm connected to spirit.

Betty Guadagno:

I could be homeless. I could have no teeth. I could be totally broke. But if I'm connected to god in some way, I feel like that really is a perfect life because I know that god is gonna take care of all that stuff for me. So that's something that comes up for me when I think about this perfect life too.

JClay:

So just expand on that real quick because, some people I mean, you hear people talk about being connected to God, but what does that look like for you? Is it like you hear from God? Is it do you you see God? Like, what For those who want a connection with God, like, what does that mean?

Betty Guadagno:

Yeah. So I'm a a teacher and a student of A Course in Miracles, and and right now, I'm I'm redoing the workbook lessons. There's one for every day of the year, so I'm really in this kind of God centered thinking right now. And for me, it's just that god is in everything. God is in every single fiber of every molecule and atom in Earth.

Betty Guadagno:

And I can't spend all day in that awareness because, like, I'm human, so my mind jumps around from space to space. But I have these practice periods that I set aside each day to consciously connect to spirit, and that can look like anything. It could be like I see a homeless person on the street, and I go, I see the god in that person, because I see their spirit, or it can be, you know, like a piece of fruit that I'm eating. Wow. I see god in this because that's nature, and it's making me healthy and happy and fed.

Betty Guadagno:

I I think, you know, my conception of god changes all the time, but right now I'm in this space where I'm like, god isn't everything. I don't know what anything is for. God is god is everything. God is all.

Troy Washington:

I mean, I I personally think that that is a part of the key of realizing what your perfect life is. You know, man, and the reason why I say that is because I remember, a time where I literally thought to myself, I want to have the perfect life, and what does that look like? Now, again, I'm not saying that I did the deep dive that I'm in suggesting today, but at this time of less knowledge, younger, my thought process was, okay. My perfect life would be me not needing anything, which is still, if I think about it today, ideal. Right?

Troy Washington:

But the the the the I guess the catch in it at the time was me feeling like I'd, in order for me to have the perfect life, I didn't want to have or need or want for anything. The reality of it was I didn't have want or need for anything at the time, but I tricked myself into believing that I did have, need, and want specific things. And I think that's the catch 22 here, for for myself specifically. But I agree with you. At the time, when I was saying specifically to not want, have, or need for anything, if I was able to take the time out to appreciate everything as it was, saying whether it be that's guiding that or that's not neither good nor bad, it woulda changed the dynamic of me, of the place that I was actually in in the moment.

Troy Washington:

It woulda made me realize that I didn't have anything else to do in order to accomplish what it was that I was trying to do.

JClay:

Yeah. So okay. Does resistance play a role in this? Like, how do I say this? Because sometimes you you you don't know what your perfect life is like, but then you encounter something that you don't want for sure.

JClay:

But also you you encounter something that could be improved, which, like, in helping that can lead to your perfect life. Like, so how what yeah. Betty, how would you handle resistance? Like, if you if you know what you want, but you're you're getting resistance to it, or it seems like you're getting resistance to it.

Betty Guadagno:

Yeah. I choke it out. No. I mean so resistance is gonna come up no matter what because it's, you're you're aiming for something different. So our brains, our program, we have these neural pathways that we're in a loop all the time.

Betty Guadagno:

Like, this is life. Something that's coming up while you guys are talking. I'm thinking about the fact that a lot of people are in survival mode. They don't even know what living life is, let alone living your perfect life. They're just trying to get out of survival mode.

Betty Guadagno:

They're like hanging out down here on the bottom of the scale of consciousness and fear and grief and lack and loss. And I think part of the human experience is to climb out of that, to come into states of acceptance and willingness and tolerance, and then come up to peace and joy and unconditional love and really climb that scale of consciousness. When resistance pops up, for me, I have to remind myself to spiritually surrender. Every day I do that because I'm an addict in recovery, and so every day I surrender to my drug addiction. Not only that, but I also surrender to my defects of character.

Betty Guadagno:

Like, I'm super judgmental. I'm really defensive. I can get controlling. So every morning, I make a point to surrender to resistance because that is my resistance throughout the day that keeps me from attaining my perfect life. Now I don't always make it all the way throughout the day.

Betty Guadagno:

Most of the time, I only make it about 30 minutes into the day in a state of surrender with all with most of those things. But with with resistance must come surrender. I can't fight the current of the stream. I have to just, like, float like a fish and just go down the stream on my back.

JClay:

Yeah. That's powerful, because everybody doesn't want to surrender. Like, surrendering sounds like you're giving up. It sounds like you failed. It sounds like you're losing control, which in a sense you are, but that's kind of the purpose because that control is is what's causing the the the non perfect non perfection in a sense because you're trying to control everything.

JClay:

I wanna control the weather. I wanna control this person over here. You gotta do this. My job has to be like this or my income has to look like this. And it's no it it's almost impossible to be happy holding on to all of those conditions.

Troy Washington:

Yeah. Mine. Just I'll go ahead. No. No.

Troy Washington:

Go ahead, Betty.

Betty Guadagno:

Go ahead. I insist.

Troy Washington:

No. No. No. No. You I insist, girl.

Troy Washington:

You go ahead and get that.

Betty Guadagno:

I was gonna say my my mentor and I, we've been working on, conceptualizing the difference between self will and god's will. And she said something really smart to me the other day, and I'm sure I'm gonna butcher it. But it was something like, everything is God's will. Every situation that happens in our life is God's will. Self will is your resistance to God's will.

Betty Guadagno:

So, you know, it's it's my lack of acceptance. I don't have acceptance to what god's will is in this moment because I think it's supposed to look a different way, and so that's how I create resistance.

Troy Washington:

So to piggyback on that, and I'm glad I shut up and let you finish. And and I know I said you got a girl, but, I mean, you got a woman. But I I'll say this in my I think a part of this is realizing that you're being resistant. Because a a lot of times, you are in a resistance state, and you don't even realize that that's what you're doing. And then I think, again, another piece to it is apart a lot of the resistance comes okay.

Troy Washington:

So for first of all, I'm in a 100% agreeance of everything is guys' will. Right? I wanna say that. I wanna make sure that we clear that. Right?

Troy Washington:

A part of the resistance is you not looking at yourself and surveying the landscape and saying, I'm smart enough, and I I I can do it a better way than the way that was meant for me. And so we observe we're observing all the time how other people do things. And so you create your own resistance because you're saying who I am is not enough in a sense. Right? Because now this is and and and I'm telling you this from personal experience.

Troy Washington:

Here's a great idea. Let me do that one. Here's another great idea. Let me do that one. Oh, none of this stuff work.

Troy Washington:

Here's another great idea. Let me do that. All the while being resistant to taking the time to say, well, what is your true idea? Not something that you're regurgitating or replicating. What is your what did God put in you?

Troy Washington:

Because his will is in you, but you're just not allowing that to be because you continue to be resistant to what's inside and seek outside. So I think that, you know, again, being attuned to to the public and people and our outside environment is a big culprit of where the resistance come from, and then it's all self imposed. But that's just me.

JClay:

In in in that too, like, So, Okay, this might well, I'm just going to say it, Okay, in many ways, we empower God. Well, let me put it like this. We empower how much God can influence our life that we that we consciously allow. I'll put it like that, because we might say, I can figure this out myself. I can do this.

JClay:

I don't need your help. And then, you know, God probably it's probably like, alright, go ahead. You're still gonna be safe no matter what. You're still my child. I still love you no matter what.

JClay:

And many times too, people don't really trust god as much as they say they do. Because as soon as something doesn't go according to how they would want it to go, even though in the roundabout way they probably act for this to happen, they're ready to panic. They're ready to add to that resistance. And and that's why I love what, Betty said that that your your mentor pointed out to you that self will is the resistance to god's will. And it's a reminder too that just by saying god's will is everything.

JClay:

What we want, god ultimately wants. But when we add that element of fear or that element of panic or that element of, I gotta I gotta just figure it out now because I have no help, then in a sense, that's exactly what we're getting. That's exactly what we're empowering God to do is to just, hey. Let let us handle it on our own, which we don't really want. Yeah.

Betty Guadagno:

Yeah. I think, okay. A couple of things are coming up for me. It's so funny because, yeah, I just had this conversation, like, this whole conversation with my mentor the other day. And one of the questions that came up was, have you ever prayed for something and then at like, been like, oh, wait.

Betty Guadagno:

No. You know? Like, have you ever prayed for something, got in it, and then been like, oh, shit. No. I can't handle this.

Betty Guadagno:

This is too much. And then we were going over the examples of all the time that that's hap how many times that's happened in our life. And I think that's something that blocks people from experiencing their perfect life, their their happiest life, is that they lack vision. They they're not actually clear on what it is that they desire and and, you know, because they don't have a clear vision, and and they think that they're limited by reality. Right?

Betty Guadagno:

So I've heard people I've worked with people who when I say, let's talk about goals. Give me short term goals, long term goals. What is it? And they're like, I wanna partner. I want them to have at least a little bit of hair and, like, a manageable stomach that I won't be super grossed out by.

Betty Guadagno:

And I'm like, what is this? This is like the vision that you have for your future. We're talking about goals. Like, the sky is the limit. What is it?

Betty Guadagno:

And when it comes to something like like abundance, like financial security, they're like, I wanna at least have $5 in savings. And I'm like, no. No. We're dreaming big. Like, reality is not a limit.

Betty Guadagno:

Like, let's get really big. Your perfect life is waiting. What does perfection look like? Let's go super big.

Troy Washington:

And to me, that's the exact point that I mean when I when I say that we're not taking enough time to realize what our perfect life is. Like, you're talking about sitting down with somebody, going through goals, and a part of that process is I have to stop, give myself the proper credit. Because, again, a part of this is saying, I'm when you're doing this and you're not shooting for the stars, you're, in a sense, limiting who you are. You're basically saying, I'm not capable of this, this, this, this, and this. And so if I don't believe that I'm capable of something, I don't even know what tools I have, then trying to really sit down and identify what the perfect life to me is never gonna be real because I don't even realize how far I can go.

Troy Washington:

What I'm essentially doing is I'm, what are they kinda settling? I'm I'm making settle settling, statements for myself, and it's not because it's the perfect life. It's just because what I feel like I can do. And, again, to to oh, go ahead, Jay.

JClay:

But now I yeah. I I was gonna say let let's unpack that. Let's talk about that, because I I love we're pretty much talking about the myth of reality. Because like you said, a lot of people would say, you know, I I I want a $1,000,000,000, but in reality, you know, I'll settle for 50,000 or, you know, I want this perfect mate, but in reality, I'll just have, you know, this person that checks 2 boxes, and then I'm I'm alright. And like you said, like, not only are you limiting yourself, you're limiting what you think is possible.

JClay:

You're limiting what you think God can do for you in your life, and so you're pushing yourself away from it. So I I I kinda wanna talk about reality, and I I kinda know your your thoughts, but I I wanted I want you to share with the audience about, is it this fixed thing? Can it be changed? Is there evidence for it that it can? You know, just just anything you can share about reality.

JClay:

Go ahead, Betty.

Betty Guadagno:

Yeah. Reality is I mean, you know, there's a reality with a capital r. That's our heaven like state. That's our spirit. And then there's this reality that we live inside of this three d reality.

Betty Guadagno:

And I think that for a lot of us, we come here to Earth to learn how to manipulate energy. This is like when you come into spiritual awareness and you find out about manifesting and the law of attraction, the law of assumption, and all of these kind of esoteric teachings. We come here to learn how to manipulate our idea of reality. Listen to me. When you close your eyes and you go to sleep, you create a whole world with your eyes closed.

Betty Guadagno:

You're doing the same thing with your eyes open. This can be manipulated here. It can be changed, but you're up against a pretty big, opponent in this in this game of reality. And that opponent is your thought system, your limiting beliefs, the preprogramming that's been instilled in you since you were a small child. Think about this.

Betty Guadagno:

When you were a little kid, your parents would ask you, like, what do you wanna be when you grow up? Like, I wanna be a doctor and a lawyer. I wanna be a ballerina and a baseball player. And your parents were like, you can absolutely do that. You can do anything that you want.

Betty Guadagno:

Start to get a little bit older. Right? You enter high school. Your parents ask you again, what do you wanna be when you grow up? And you say, I'm still trying to be a baseball player.

Betty Guadagno:

And they go, well, that's ridiculous. You're not. You can't be a baseball player. You have to do something safe. Play it safe.

Betty Guadagno:

Be an accountant. Right? Accountants make good money. There's job security and all of a sudden your dream is completely smashed And it's just a 1000000 broken pieces on the ground. And it's up to you at some point in your life to say, you know what?

Betty Guadagno:

That doesn't work for me. I don't need to go this safe route. I want to play it big. I came to Earth to be a spirit, having a human experience, and I'm gonna play it as big as I possibly can. And smashing those old belief systems is actually the funnest part of the earth experience once you come into spiritual awareness, in my opinion.

Troy Washington:

Yeah. And and I I guess I'll just simply say that, you know, all the clues are always there. And what I mean by that is everybody that we hold in high regard as a, majority in the world are people who decided that the reality of what they saw was not the true reality that they wanted to live. And so all the things that we get to witness and marvel and be a part of is all because of what I would just call originality. You know?

Troy Washington:

It it it wasn't a reality. It was originality. And I think that's the part that, again, that we miss on. Like, even if you think about food, like, nobody ever thought that a a a cow could be a hamburger, and it could be a steak, and it can be but somebody just decided, like, regardless of what people are doing, this is the way that we're gonna use this. So, you know, it like I said, all the clues are there, and it's just a matter of if you wanna give yourself its proper credit.

Troy Washington:

Like, looking at looking at yourself and saying, there's one thing that hasn't been here before, and that's me. And and there's one thing that's never been here before. Like, what can come out of this and giving yourself an opportunity to really see without giving a limitation of for something that's never been here before. Like, how could this ever be limited? But, you know, that's just my 2¢ on it.

JClay:

I love that. And and what I what I say about reality is every thought and every idea is its own reality. So, like, once I have a thought, I'm gonna figure out how to make how to fix my own car. Then I go into that reality and see, oh, I gotta learn about this and that. And, I'm not going to that reality.

JClay:

But, oh, let me I'm a figure out how to make my own songs. Okay. I gotta learn about mics. I gotta learn about how to mix and master. I love that.

JClay:

Let me let me step into that reality, and it's all predicated by our thoughts. So whatever your dominating thoughts are, you're going to attract the counterparts that make you experience reality in a certain way. Like, all these realities are are still going on, but what you constantly think about or bring attention to, it adds to that reality. It draws in so much so many things. So it's not so much that reality is changing.

JClay:

It's only that you can hold a certain amount of attention of the reality that you want, which makes you experience it a certain way. And so it's it's it's important that we align our thoughts with what we want, that we dwell on the things that we like. We dwell on the things that that we want more of. And like you said, Troy, we hold that vision of the reality in our minds more than what others are experiencing in their reality.

Betty Guadagno:

Thanks. Okay. Some stuff came up while you guys were talking. I love this where this conversation is going. So, in Hinduism, there's this concept called lila.

Betty Guadagno:

It's the cosmic play. You are the main actor in your cosmic play. You're the main star of your movie. What kind of lead do you wanna be? What's the story of your life?

Betty Guadagno:

You are the cocreator of that experience. Another thing that came up for me while I was thinking about this is finding joy and purpose in the mundane. So let's say that you're on your way. Like, you're on your hero's journey to obtaining your perfect, most happy life. But in the meantime, you're a waitress at Denny's, and you're like, oh my god.

Betty Guadagno:

Denny's is so ghetto. I hate working here. This is the worst. You have to find purpose in where you are in the moment. First of all, it's your stepping stone to where you're gonna be, so you can find purpose in that.

Betty Guadagno:

You can also look at it like, hey. You know what? If I didn't come to work, these people wouldn't get fed, and then they wouldn't be able to to thrive and live and, and and carry out their life's purpose. So I'm actually this great stepping stone for them too, and this restaurant is a stepping stone for me to get to my next part. And, again, just getting really clear, what's the end of your movie?

Betty Guadagno:

Like, what does it look like? What's the fine what's the season finale of your Netflix series?

Troy Washington:

So I'll say this just kinda add on to that. And, again, I love it. I'm a big sports fan. As you know, before we got on, we were talking about basketball. Specifically, you know, my favorite player is LeBron LeBron James.

Troy Washington:

And, one of the things that, you know, they always ask him, you know, you now you're 40. Right? How does somebody do this for 22 years and be this great and still, you know, achieve, you know, things that people never thought could happen that a 40 year old could do? And one thing that he will state over and over again is, I just love the process. And, the reason why I bring that up is because you talking about the mundane, the things that don't have a purpose, the things that I haven't been able to see that provide some type of value to me because I'm looking past them.

Troy Washington:

It's not sometimes you just even at a outside of this finding, if you just look, you can actually see what what value it provides. And so, you know, using LeBron as the example, you know, I'm pretty sure 20 years in, he don't wanna get up at 5 o'clock in the morning and still go work out, do a full workout for 2 hours or, you know, all these young kids are coming in, and they're trying to beat me. So they come into the practice at 4:30, so I gotta show up at 4 o'clock. But in it for himself, from what I've been able to pull is there's a game in it. Like, I like being the fur even though the workout is not necessarily the most fun thing to do, I love being the person that leads people here.

Troy Washington:

I love being the person. I love being able to see my muscle grow just a little bit in that day. I love all these different things, which in turn now it changes it from the process just to a part of your life, and it's not mundane anymore. So I agree with you 100%.

JClay:

Yeah. I I I love all of this, especially, I saw a video on social media, and I think I actually sent it to both of y'all before. It was, it was somebody training basketball, but it was a split screen. And it just kinda show you, like, one half, he was, like, kinda going through the motions. And the other half, he was just intent about it.

JClay:

He was really, like, I'm doing this for a purpose. I'm enjoying myself. I'm getting better. And you can see the change. You can see everything, like, just you were more drawn to the side that was intentional about what they were doing.

JClay:

And what what I love about what you both said is that that one, Betty said you can be intentional even if you find yourself not in the space that you want to. You can use it as a stepping stone. And what you say, Troy, like, you were pointing out all the things you love in it. And sometimes we forget what we love in things because we've been doing it for so long. But once we remind ourselves, it makes it that much greater.

JClay:

It's like, I am where I'm supposed to be. I am supposed to be doing this because this is the magic moment right here, right now. And I and I love that. And I I just wanna ask a question to to everybody that's watching and just to y'all as well if you wanna answer it. What would change if you believed your perfect life was already here?

JClay:

Oh.

Betty Guadagno:

What would you change if you believed your perfect life was already here? I mean, I am living my perfect life right now. You know? There's things that are on their way into my reality, but something that just came up when Jay was talking for me was everything is in divine right order. That's, like, my affirmation all the time.

Betty Guadagno:

You know, I work at a day job, and and I've been there for a really long time. And sometimes I get super frustrated there, and I have to just remind myself, everything is in divine right order. I'm right where I'm supposed to be. Okay, god. I'm ready to be somewhere else, but I'm right where I'm supposed to be right now.

Betty Guadagno:

And other than that came up while you guys were talking, repetition is the key to reprogramming. And it's funny because a lot of the things that I wanna say are the same things that I said the last time that we talked, but that's the point. Repetition is the key to this. We can't reprogram our neural pathways and the one track that our mind is on unless we show up consistency show up with consistency, discipline, agility. All of those things are really important, and, that saying don't leave 5 minutes before the miracle.

Betty Guadagno:

Your perfect life is waiting for you. It's gonna require action. Like, it it might not just fall into your lap. I mean, I believe in miracles that could absolutely happen. But for a lot of us, the fun is in the journey.

Betty Guadagno:

And so we've kinda designed it this way for ourselves to find ourselves on the path to our perfect life. And so you have to keep showing up. If you give up 5 minutes before it happens, it could just be that next action step was the one that was gonna make it come to fruition, but instead, you decided, like, you know what? I'm working too hard. I don't wanna keep doing this, and that's why finding the joy in the journey is so important.

Betty Guadagno:

Right? Like, knowing that playing the tape out. Like, LeBron James, he knew that if he kept practicing and playing the way that he was, that he would be a superstar and Troy's favorite basketball player, which is what his life purpose was.

Troy Washington:

We thought we were talking about that.

Betty Guadagno:

And so he had to keep showing up that way every single day because he knew what the payoff was gonna be. He was gonna be one of the greatest. And so this is my encouragement to anybody listening and to the 3 of us that keep going. That's the payoff is in the is in the repetition of it.

Troy Washington:

I I would also say remember the feeling, and I won't bring my kids into this, just kinda make the point. So, you know, I got 2 sons. 1 of them is 12 years old. Well, I'm sorry. He's 13, and one of them is 6, about to be 7 in a in a couple, days.

Troy Washington:

But they both play basketball. They both been playing basketball, and they they both they both pretty good. They pro both pretty decent. Well, my oldest has gone through a little stint where he for whatever reason, he's not shooting in the game. So he like, the team is still winning, but he's not shooting for whatever reason.

Troy Washington:

You know what I'm saying? And I'm like, bro, like, what's going on? Like, why you're not shooting a ball? And he's telling me about all these different things that have changed with the way people are playing defense on him, so he's changing his habits in the game. And so, simply, I asked him, the the other day, I said, well, I got a question for you.

Troy Washington:

How does it feel when you make a big shot in the game? And he says, it feels good. And, like, it feel real good. And I was like, well, don't you wanna feel like that all the time? And he's like, yeah.

Troy Washington:

I do. So I said, well, you need to get up enough shots in order for that to happen. Right? And so, again, the reason why I'm telling you this is because the next game he goes and he shoots and he makes 3 threes in the game. Right?

Troy Washington:

And so, you know, he got the feeling back, but a part of that was the visual visualization piece and him seeing and remembering how it felt to for it to happen. And that's a reminder for us as well. Like, we experience things, and a lot of times, because it is, repetitive or, you know, it's been normalized, we forget how it feels. We don't remember, that we're we're seeking that out, and I think that's a a big part of it. And one other thing I wanna tell you, about the visualization visualization piece as well.

Troy Washington:

Now my 6 year old and my 13 year old, they're 2 different kind of players, but they also appreciate the game different kinds of ways. My 6 year old is playing basketball all day whether he's playing in the game or not, and he's always in the room. 321. Boom. Outside.

Troy Washington:

321. He's always last minute shot. I'm gonna get it. And funny enough, in the games, like, literally probably once every 2 weeks, he's always being able to take a last minute shot. Now if you play basketball, you know it's the likelihood of you getting the ball at the end of the game for the last minute shot is something that it's it's a rare occasion.

Troy Washington:

Right? Somebody gets it, but it's not you know? But go ahead, Jay.

JClay:

So what I was gonna say before you told that that second story, which is on par with it is, what if we're looking at practice all wrong? And what I mean is, like, when we think of practice, I need to practice so I can get better. I need to practice so that when that moment comes, I'll be ready or I can prepare myself for whatever moment. But what if practice is you're just practicing the moment all the time? Like, you see the moment, you're in the moment, and practice is actually practicing that moment.

JClay:

That changes everything. Like like, you you you want to go practice being who you wanna be right now. Go ahead.

Troy Washington:

So so so, again, to that point, that's what Brody again, and I'm not talking about anything that has anything to do with me. He's just on a mini hoop in the room, and he's doing this. He is practicing that moment over and over again. But the thing to that is the greatest basketball players and I'm a use Kobe Bryant as the person that I'm a talk about now. They say Kobe Bryant will show up to the gym, and he will go to one spot.

Troy Washington:

Just one. The elbow or the free throw, like, wherever he's gonna be. And today, he will work on that spot for 8 hours. Wow. Just in the same spot over and over again.

Troy Washington:

And that's the reason why when you see him in the game, he won't just shoot from anywhere. But he can get to that spot anytime he wants to, and he's going to his chance of making it is highly likely in comparison because he has he loves that spot. He's mastered that spot, the repetition in that spot. And not only that, he believes and feels that no matter what, every time he's in this spot, it's his. And so I think that you have a point with that, but go ahead.

Betty Guadagno:

I'm gonna share, something that's coming up for me. Right? Because I'm a person who's experienced, like, a a very big trans transformation in my life. I used to be hopeless, homeless, toothless, a a mess, hot mess. Can't believe it.

Troy Washington:

I believe it.

Betty Guadagno:

You know what? I didn't even know what it meant to, like, dream a big dream. I didn't even know that I was allowed to have a happy life. And so I just wanna point that out too. And one of the things that came into my awareness when I when I just enough was enough, and I had to start thinking another way because, like, the universe was, you know, pushing me to, was that I didn't know how to pull on a happy feeling because I didn't have any.

Betty Guadagno:

I couldn't find any. I couldn't find any in my memory and my awareness. It felt like my whole life was so wracked in trauma that I couldn't even grab one good feeling to focus on. And so I went into books. I went into movies.

Betty Guadagno:

I went into people's lives that I admired, authors, reading, writing, like, connecting with God helped me find that that happy thought that's gonna help me fly because that's the thought and the feeling that I need to continually practice so that I can become really good at feeling that way.

Troy Washington:

I got a question for you real quick. When in in the case of the of addiction and things of that nature, was there not a happy thought before, or did they come after the fact? And that's what I wanna know. That's important.

Betty Guadagno:

Yeah. I don't you know what? I'm so pause I I didn't have, like, a super miserable life growing up. Like, I I know I had happy moments, but my addiction had taken such a hold of me that it, like, almost wiped my memory, clear of them. Them.

Betty Guadagno:

I mean, I thought that I was using drugs to be happy. I was like, oh my god. Look at me. I'm having so much fun. Like, I'm a, you know, I'm a mess.

Betty Guadagno:

But I I couldn't even grab on to a happy feeling. I couldn't even remember, like, the first time that I used drugs. Like, that must have felt felt good. Right? Because why did I keep doing it over and over again?

Betty Guadagno:

Couldn't even grab any of those memories. And I think that it was because it was so out of alignment with what happiness is truly at its core. Like, for me today, happiness is being of service. My perfect life includes a connection to spirit, connection to other people, and being of service. Like, if I have those three things, I'm set forever.

Troy Washington:

So super dope. And and I'm a tell you the reason why I asked you that specifically, is because, again, I always think about my kids and all things that I do. Right? And I think about my 6 year old as as an example. He and, again, I I know this is we we talking about addiction versus kids playing, but I still think that the translation is there.

Troy Washington:

He's a kid whose dad has never been to the NBA. Right? I'm not in I am not in NBA, nor does he have anybody in his family that's ever been to the NBA, nor does he have any direct relationships with anybody that's been in the NBA. But yet and still, there's a hope, there's a belief, there's a dream, there's a light in him that says and you can ask him now. There's nothing that you can say to say that he can't get there.

Troy Washington:

He's saying, oh, I'm he's gonna tell you right now, I'm gonna go to the NBA, and then when I finish playing basketball, I'm gonna go to the NFL. Now mind you, I have plenty of examples of people trying to do that, haven't been able to do it. But that's where his mind is. That's the light, and it's just, it's it's it's it's just a crazy thought to me, that in any given moment, that light can be diminished for whatever reason. You know what I'm saying?

Troy Washington:

Because and and that's the reason why I asked that you have a light before or, and and it's just it's funny, you know, to think, you know, what what could be that trigger. But go ahead, Jay. I know you got something right there.

JClay:

No. I I I'll say to to reiterate about when we're talking about how much reality can change and how easy it is to change your own reality by focusing on certain thoughts. Let's take your family, Troy. Like you said, your your your older son, he's a basketball star in his own right. Your youngest son is practicing the moment doing his thing.

JClay:

And you love basketball. Like, you watch basketball all the time. You put it like this. Your son this year was asked to be a ball boy for the Dallas Mavericks. And every time he does that, you all get free entry to a game.

JClay:

So it's like you have season home season tickets. And what's amazing about that is, like, each of you together manifested that, like, because everybody gets to benefit from that from your oldest son being a ball boy. And it's like so now you you have some kinda end. Like, you can taste the NBA even more because it's like, oh, it's right there. I can see that.

JClay:

I I can see it. And it's it's cool how that all happens. Like, you you couldn't have you couldn't have planned for that. You couldn't have said, hey, I wanna I want, you know, him to be a ball boy. You probably said, oh, I want season tickets or I wanna watch more games, but it's just cool how how easily that that transformed.

Betty Guadagno:

Wow. That is so incredible. And you know what? Another thing that came up, while Troy Troy was talking is how important it is to have people who support you. Right?

Betty Guadagno:

Like your kid has this big dream. The analogy I used before, like when the kid turns 12 and you're like, nope, you gotta be an accountant. You gotta give up your basketball dreams. Like, I don't think that you're gonna be a dad that does that. And it's really important to have people who support us in our dreams.

Betty Guadagno:

Another spiritual mentor said, it's better to have 4 quarters than a 100 pennies. Meaning, like, I need 4 solid people in my life rather than having a 100 pennies. Right? Because the value is less on a penny. I need those quarters.

Betty Guadagno:

Those are the people that are gonna they're gonna assist me in my manifestations. They're gonna tell me to follow my dreams. They're gonna support me when I fall and fail and have to get up and try again over and over and over again. And I think that there there's something there as well. You know, like, if you don't have it in your life, that's another thing that you can seek out.

Betty Guadagno:

If that's something that you think will add value to this perfect life that's waiting for you, then make sure that you set intention to find those people because they're out there. They're waiting to support you.

JClay:

And so, Napoleon Hill are like a renowned author, and he talks about success, law of success, all the good stuff, then you grow rich. He talks about having a roundtable in your imagination. Like, you can bring anybody in that you want, dead or alive. They could be living right now, but just in your imagination. And I've done this exercise, and and I might not do the roundtable now.

JClay:

But from time to time, I will communicate with someone, and it helps. Like, it's like you're you're getting that knowledge and that wisdom of that person. So and I said that to say even if somebody's in a position where they don't have access to to certain people yet to those quarters yet, you can still do these mental exercises where where it's just, like, likely the same thing and then gonna attract the the physical counterpart of it.

Troy Washington:

And I I and I and I agree with both of y'all, and I'm gonna raise Betty her 4 quarters to say one silver dollar. Right? And the reason why I'm a say one silver dollar to the point that Jay Clay said, and it's the simple fact of of somewhere along this journey, the self sustain sustainability has to grow. You have to like, we talked about the kids and having a support system to help, I I guess, build that that the kids up, but there's a kid inside of you. Right?

Troy Washington:

The same kid that's inside of you, and they're looking for somebody to fully support them. And that's the reason why I like the thought of the self sustainability and, you know, Jay Clay's point in saying, I might not have the 4 quarters. And a part of the reason why I might not have the 4 quarters is because I haven't been able to self sustain myself so that way I could get the right 4 quarters around me. I could just imagine betting again. I don't know.

Troy Washington:

I'm just I'm just, imagining where you are. Now mind you, I grew up in the hood, so I grew up around the the the life. Right? But in my imagination, I don't think that you woulda wanted your 4 quarters to be people that were sitting next to you at the moment. Right?

Troy Washington:

I mean, you you you know what I'm saying? And so I think that a part of it is the silver dollar mentality is saying, okay. You know what? I don't have these x external sources or or people or or resources around me, but guess what I do have? I do have Henry Ford.

Troy Washington:

I do have whoever. I have Oprah. I do have, you know, Dizzy. I'm I do have LeBron. Okay.

Troy Washington:

What would they do? And the and the the craziest thing about this the even me thinking it out. Right? I I feel like I've always had the 4 quarters around me, you know, which is the reason why I'm able to, you know, navigate. But I also know that I told you about LeBron being, my favorite player or or Jay z being my favorite rapper.

Troy Washington:

Along the pathway of me growing up, I read books about them. I studied their moves. And though they were not the I wasn't doing the exact same business or the same processes as them, the things that they exhibited from a, mentality wise, I was able to adapt, and they were my 4 quarters in a sense in order for me to make myself, grow the way that I wanted to. Go ahead, Jay.

JClay:

So I I got a quick question, and especially for Betty. When you talk about the silver dollar and and self sustainment, like, you I'm worth the dollar. I I know this. But so, okay, I know Betty does this unique thing where certain traits of hers or certain personality, she'll give like a a person or, you know, like you said, you've you've given your addiction a personality and things. And I know you visualize your higher self.

JClay:

And it it just made me think, like, why don't we just ask our higher self or or our perfect self for advice? And I wanted to know, Betty, has that been something that you've done before?

Betty Guadagno:

Yeah. Definitely. You know what came up for me with this whole silver dollar analogy? That, who's who made the silver dollar? Like, that's another component of this.

Betty Guadagno:

Like, where did this where did this coin come from? Right? Like, let's not forget God in all of this. Like, let's not forget that the universe is conspiring in our favor through all of that too. And, yeah, you know, like, we can connect.

Betty Guadagno:

You've abs anybody can do this, and you just have to be open minded enough to allow it in. And, again, there's a lot of limiting beliefs. Right? We've been programmed our whole life to think that somebody else needs to connect to spirit for us. So if you grew up in any kind of organized religion, then you know that the priest or the rabbi or the pastor, that's your in to god.

Betty Guadagno:

It's not that you have it yourself. You have to talk to this other person in order to talk to god. So, okay, like, we have to dismantle that whole belief system. Right? And you can talk to your higher self.

Betty Guadagno:

You can talk to your future self and say, hey. I see you over there. You live in your perfect life. You're in your penthouse in Midtown Manhattan. You got your 4 quarters.

Betty Guadagno:

Maybe you got a couple more quarters. You got a big bank account. You got the perfect partner. You got your books. This is my life that I'm talking about, my perfect life.

Betty Guadagno:

And you got your service, your community, all of these things. How do you make it happen? I ask my future self all the time. What did you do to make this happen? And she tells me she tells me real tangible steps, and I just choose to ignore her.

Betty Guadagno:

I'm like, whatever, girl. Like, I'll get to it later Because it's fear. The fear is what blocks me from living the perfect life. Fear of success. That's, like, my number one fear.

Betty Guadagno:

A lot of people have fear of failure. I'm really used to failure. I've been doing that my whole life. Fear of success is the thing that ties me down and shackles me. And so like Jay said, what I do is I design these aspects of myself.

Betty Guadagno:

My inner saboteur, she looks like the chick from the ring. She loves coming in and effing stuff up right before everything is about to happen. Like, all the good stuff, the perfect life is coming into fruition. And she's like, you know what? We just need a little bit of chaos.

Betty Guadagno:

Like, we can't have everything looking so nice and neat. So, yeah, I think that it is really important to communicate with what's going on inside of us the same way that you can communicate with your body. You have a an ache in your hip. Like, you can talk to that part of your body and say, hey. What's going on?

Betty Guadagno:

What do you need? Do you need some some Bengay? Do you need a nice little stretch, maybe a bath? What's going on?

Troy Washington:

And it I I I'll say this as well, and this is just a question for everybody, including myself. What is so wrong with things not turning out the way that you planned them? You know? And the reason why I say that is because a lot of the times and I'm talking for myself as well as people that I've, you know, talked to about this. But the the reason why they don't want to seek out the perfect life is because whatever the plan is, they don't think that they can bring it to fruition.

Troy Washington:

That means there's gonna be a kink in in some you know, it's not going to be what I thought. And so versus me wasting my time and do all of this, I'd rather just figure something else out. But that goes back to the point Betty made of saying that god is in everything and not realizing that though I may have planned for something to look a certain way, if it doesn't look the way that I wanted it to look, it's still god, and it also doesn't stop me from progressing and getting to where I was going anyway. We allow that, And, again, I don't wanna call it failure because it's not a failure if you accomplished anything. Right?

Troy Washington:

But we we look at what that finished result in is and say, that's not what I was intending to do. Right? And it will deter us completely, but that's, you know, that's just my thought on it, but go ahead.

JClay:

When I did to your question, you you kinda helped me mend some things in my mind. So, so on one hand, like, I always say this, reality always comes out better than I plan. So, like, let's say I I have a plan at and I go about it. I'm always surprised, like, I couldn't have planned this. This is perfect.

JClay:

Thank you. I'm I'm grateful for this. But at the same time, I still create plans. But sometimes, like you said, I won't go forward with it because I'm like, do I wanna do all of this right now? But I know but but but I never connected that, Yeah.

JClay:

Go with the plan. It's gonna turn out it's not gonna turn out like you want it anyway, which is a good thing. That's not a bad thing. And and it's not even about going forward. The plan now, like, in my mind was connected is it's about practicing practicing that moment that you've planned.

JClay:

So you're not practicing the plan, but you practice the moment that you plan. And that's that's one thing I'm gonna take away from this that I'm excited to to do to be doing. But, yeah.

Betty Guadagno:

Yeah. I'm gonna I'm gonna add to this and talk more about parts. Right? There's all these internal parts of us, and so the question came up, what's wrong with it not going the way that you want? Well, there's nothing wrong with it because your spirit doesn't care, like, could care less.

Betty Guadagno:

But your inner controller and your inner critic, the parts they really they're like, what? No. We have a plan, and you suck if it doesn't happen the way that we planned it. And the inner controller and the inner critic are these protector parts. They are protecting the part of you that is scared of feeling, negative feelings, or maybe it's it's usually something that's protecting some aspect of an inner child.

Betty Guadagno:

So, like, imagine being a little kid and having a plan, and it doesn't go the way that it's supposed to, and you don't win the prize, you don't win the game, and that disappointment. So the inner controller and the inner critic are they're shielding you from the fear of disappointment usually or some some sort of fear, fear of rejection, abandonment, you know, failure, whatever it is. So your spirit doesn't give a hoot your spirit's like, what doesn't matter when it happens? If it happens, who it happens with does not matter because spirit is infinite and is rooted in, in trust and faith. You know, the other aspects of us, those are the ones that need to take a step back, and and sometimes it takes a lot of, internal work repetition to make sure that those parts understand that they don't have to protect us because we're connected to spirit, and we don't have anything to be scared of.

Troy Washington:

So you know I gotta bring my kids back into this real quick. Right? And enter the inner, protector and the inner what? What was

JClay:

the other one?

Betty Guadagno:

The inner controller or the inner critic.

Troy Washington:

Inner critic and the inner controller. Right? They are so real. Right? And the and the the craziest part about it is the thing that it made me think about was when my kids were some well, I thought of my 13 year old when he was a kid.

Troy Washington:

Right? Anybody that was around my kid, again, my I don't I didn't have any intention to feel this way or think this way, but there was I could not combat the fight between those things within me. Right? So So anytime somebody was around my kid, I would never wanna leave them around them because I don't trust you. What you gonna do to my kids?

Troy Washington:

I don't know. You know? Like, I've been around these people my whole life. You don't care as much as I care, but all of these different emotions are were, like, building I mean, blocks to stop me from allowing my kid to go anywhere. Even so much so, the very first time I let my my son, my oldest son, go over his, over a friend's house.

Troy Washington:

I'm not gonna say with friends, but over a friend's house, The thing that came to my head is, what if they've been friends with me this whole time? So that way they can get close, and then they can traffic them and take them overseas. Like, all these different things that run through your head, and then but my point in saying it is those things don't change. You have to consciously work on them. You have to tell yourself that, you know what?

Troy Washington:

Maybe I am, allowing outside, sources or information to come in and dictate my true feelings and direct me in a certain way. And I just think I I just remember getting past that process. I remember being able to be free with my second kid. And, again, that doesn't mean that I don't have parent intuition. And, you know, if somebody is a pedophile, I'm gonna let my kid go with them.

Troy Washington:

But but, nonetheless, just being able to work through that is really a thing. But go ahead.

JClay:

Yeah. So what's funny about y'all bringing this up is yesterday when I was in the shower, I had started talking to my ego. And and just to give you a quick history, initially, I thought I was my ego. Like, I thought that's just who I was. And then when I learned I wasn't, I kind of put him in the back burner, like, now we're gonna do things my way.

JClay:

You you did things too long. But now it's a different relationship. It's more like I create the stage for it and I say, go play. Go go go have go do what you wanna do in this arena, but don't go, you know, past this line. And I and I think that's similar to what you're saying about different parts of, like, your inner critic and and and their, controller is if you allow them to be who they are, it he's in a controlled setting because, again, you don't want them to just try to take control of everything because you can't.

JClay:

But, it it changes things. Like, I I I feel I felt more connected to myself when I was doing that, and I and I loved how my relationship changed with myself. Like, it's it's so cool to think about, but, yeah, it's a beautiful thing.

Betty Guadagno:

Yeah. You know, so there there's a bunch of techniques in order to, because we can't, like, kill the controller or the critic. Like, they serve purposes inside of our lives. Yeah. Yeah.

Betty Guadagno:

We can't, we can't take them out. So, like, you can you can offer them a new role because they're gonna be there no matter what. They're literally a part of you. So, like, in a a okay. The inner controller can take on a role like, hey.

Betty Guadagno:

I'm gonna give you an organizer, and you can start to organize my days, but within limit, like and and without rigidity, knowing that there's going to be hours of open time that I can do with what I please. Something like that the inner critic can be transformed into is you can allow the inner critic to come in with constructive criticism with action steps to make amendments when asked. Not just like you can't come into my head whenever you want and tell me that I'm a, you know, I'm I'm a piece of whatever and, like, no. You're allowed to come in when I say that you can and offer me constructive criticism so that I can take a an action step to, you know, transform this viewpoint that I have.

JClay:

Beautiful. I know we roll in, we roll into at that time. So let's kind of summarize real quick, if we can, about living your perfect life. So one of the things we talked about is repetition, like practicing that being who you wanna be, practicing, believing in it, and seeing it, saying thoughts that align with it or or saying words that align with it, thinking thoughts that align with it. We talked about talking to your your your inner selves.

JClay:

What what I'm trying to remember what else.

Troy Washington:

Just identifying what that is. Identifying what the perfect life actually is. Like, what does that really look like to me? And taking the time and putting forth the effort to to to really see it.

Betty Guadagno:

I I wanna add something about living your perfect life. This would be, like, you know, one of the closing thoughts. If you're not living your perfect life yet, get excited about the fact that it's coming. Don't look at it as, like, this big daunting thing like, oh my god. I'm never gonna be able to live my perfect life.

Betty Guadagno:

I'm I'm in my mid forties. I'm in my mid fifties. Like, my life is over. Don't let those limiting beliefs creep in. If you're not living your perfect life yet, then it's right around the corner.

Betty Guadagno:

Get excited. Be in that feeling of excitement. Like, wow. I can't wait to see what God is gonna do for me. I can't wait to see how the universe is just gonna start throwing open doors so that I can live my most perfect life.

Betty Guadagno:

If you can stay in that joy, just even for 1 minute a day, I promise promise promise you, experiences will start to unfold, and your life will be more perfect than you could have ever imagined.

Troy Washington:

And just to kinda tag this on to what Betty just said, because you she specifically said whether you're 30, 40, 50. And I'm only saying this because I'm in school, so I subbed. I think I told you that before I'll be subbing, and I'm around these kids. And funny enough, the kids that I've again, the the the only time where I don't see, where they it's really affecting them, what we're talking about is when they're little, like my my, 6 year old. But all the kids that were, like, in middle school and up, they all have the same complex starting then now.

Troy Washington:

So it it's funny for me to yeah. It it's funny for me to see and with hear what we're saying because I actually see it in kids as well.

JClay:

Wow. So so, like, you you're saying, like, like, 12 year olds are worrying about, like, like, I should be farther alone at 16, like like that? Wow.

Betty Guadagno:

Well, you know, we also live in a different time where they're exposed to much more of the world than we were because we didn't have the Internet. So unless you're, like, we're opening up an encyclopedia, you didn't really know what was going on in the lives of other people. So, you know, it's a definitely there's a generational thing there, and I think that that's why so important to, you know, move your algorithm. Like, if you are seeing a lot of negative stuff or you feel like you're comparing yourself self to people in your algorithm as you're scrolling on social media, you gotta change your algorithm. You gotta find some positive affirmation, some hope core videos, start crying at, like, beautiful reunions between people.

Betty Guadagno:

It's that someone's gotta share.

Troy Washington:

Right. The these kids, they're they're different, man. I'm just telling, like, it it is the the information and then a a part of, you know, what I said earlier is a part of the reason why we can't live our perfect life is because we're too busy looking at other people live a life, and we're saying, hey. Maybe I should do it this way. And you could just imagine kids being attuned to everybody in a way that we would never were, and they all they do is that.

Troy Washington:

So, you know, it's it's it's definitely interesting.

JClay:

But it it has even more of a reason for us to live our perfect life so that we can influence them to live theirs, and we can all be happy and yeah. Good stuff.

Troy Washington:

Yep. So I I'll say this because I know that we're at the end. So first off, again, like I told y'all, we love y'all. We're grateful. If you feel like the show is helpful in any kind of way, even if you just, you know, wanna help somebody else realize that they're perfect, we ask that you share, like, subscribe on whatever platform you're in.

Troy Washington:

And, you know, just again, without y'all, we wouldn't be here. We'd definitely be doing something, but, you know, we are definitely appreciative of everybody with when you give us any feedback, Betty, for joining us today because, again, you help us realize, you know, that we're perfect, and we hope we we do the same for you. But just I can't express how grateful and I hope that, you know, everybody can take a little bit from this and realize that your perfect life is right in front of you. If you just give yourself an opportunity to feel, see, look, understand, it just takes time, you know, and and and it's all yours. But, Jay, you can go ahead and take us up out of here, man.

JClay:

Before I go, Betty, you wanna add anything real quick? Say any goodbye?

Betty Guadagno:

Yeah. Your perfect life is already here. All you have to do is remove those blocks to the awareness of it and know that you are worthy. You are worthy of a perfect life. You are worthy of all the love in the universe, and I'm super grateful to spend another Sunday with you guys.
