My friend tim stories in the house brother, going to see a man excited about walking through the hallway, and then it says that sign there, greatest media are trying to step it up. You know always trying to level it up. Yeah so excited about this. I think we had you on years ago, five six years ago, and both of us have evolved a lot and learned a lot been humiliated and overcome challenges and attacked in their own way. because you got a new book out called them. The miracle mentality tap into the source of magical transformation in your life, and I want to ask you my first question is.

Do you think, there's a way that in life we could ever have things easy or, as are always going to be some type of suffering from attic experience, yes, pain that we must endure as that's just part of life, is there a place where so when does not occur in this world. No, as long as we are on this planet, you going to two things you going to recovery and discovery covery of our past recovery, of what we're dealing with right now and then discovery, which is the magical moments I talked about in this book, but no as long as we're on the planet. We walked. it's pain, we will experience pain like, for instance, I mean you see what a good mood I'm in today yesterday I did a great friend of mine's funeral and he's his young actor anytime.

If you know in the midst of covert in that you've had people that you know pass me too, but so no so in the midst of, like all the vibrant things we get to be a part of you're going through recovery and discovery at all times. What's the biggest recovery you've had to face in the last few years, I think the one of the biggest recoveries is disappointment when you think something's gonna work and then it doesn't yeah, and then you think it's gonna work again and it doesn't and so so lewis to me it could be like a relationship. did you thought was there's no doubt this is going to work here and then that's one area of disappointment and then maybe, like a show that I got

I remember, I got signed by a group, you know of called telepictures and they didn't even put myself together. The set was together. They were talking about the billboards, and so I went from break up. The jig has happened to them, saying we decided not to go with your show. So yeah I mean that's. That was last couple of years that yeah that's disappointment. That can happen What what does the discovery you learned in the last cobia from these disappointments? Yes, I think the discovery Is that truly that some things in life you decide and some things you life, you discover I think that I've always been more. The decision guy is both of us are athletes. So you start to think that way of How am I going to do this? I I am the decision guy incoming coming into your studios today. I had it like it all figured out. Okay, I

exactly what I'm going to do and I'm going to get there okay. So, but through those challenges, It's like TIM, your decisions, they did not work. So now I have to be open to, like god or the universe oh and maybe some divine door would open right, it's not your way. It's another way right, yes, and that's what I found a lotta times, man that, like I wanted it this way for sure, and then some weird divine door would open if we can just call it that, for a minute and and take me in who another rina there was better for me like. I was talking to your buddy, my buddy les brown. He goes you're, not the daytime talk, show guy tim that you It looks glamorous because you see that Oprah did it and your buddy I'm here, but but you know egos tim. I tried it.

Sorry, it's hot water, yes, so interesting, I'm curious about a positive mindset and embracing a positive mindset when we are going through disappointment. Breakdown yeah, the ups and downs of life, should we have a positive mindset and embrace that when we're going through pain or is that some, you know spiritual growth, we we type of mentality that is not supporting us. Yeah sure been. Should we re frame the disappointments into ok. This is happening for us and something good will come from this, or should we be in a negative mindset and say why is this happening to me and this sucks and this is always happening? Yes, what is the process we should have through this suffering pain, disappointment, sounds life so, as as you know, because you've had some of the best teachers on mindset here and cause. I watch and I think I'd watch probably everything.

put out. So, as you know, the mindset is truly that where, where you set your mind, so it becomes your point of view. so, let's say, let's say me and you decide to to meet at the soho house. Okay- and a little gathering and me and you are going to meet it's like somebody's having a party sure and there's seventy people there. You may have a different experience than me based on, where you were standing at this party and who you talk to the same party but different perspective. Yes, okay! So that's how I see mindset. So I feel that in the midst of pandemic that a lot of people have chosen this almost living mindset and almost means not quite nearly barely so they're thinking when the election

then maybe I can live. My minds are when we get the vaccine, then I can lift my mind said to me: that's an almost living almost is not quite you're. Almost always there you're always waiting for something, yes to then be free to then feel happy to go. After what you want yeah, so I don't believe in that. I I believe in renewing my mind and I love renewing my mind is: I have to unlearn a lot of what I've learned see so like when I was a kid people would say bad things come in threes, and so you know like People were two things that happen then ass. Yet, yeah you're, like I wanted a break up? I lost my shower now what's next year, so I don't buy into that case, so a lot things that maybe you learned from linley

which is a relative right. We have to learn those things. and then we have to relearn other things, to change our mindset because again wherever I set my mind. My mindset creates my mood set sail people say this to me all the time, because even at the funeral yesterday sky came up to me ghost tell you still want, like you flowed on cloud, he goes, but yet you are doing the funeral. I was you know, as a minister doing the funeral, and still I was being tim story, cause this. I can't help it. This is who I am. This is my mindset, so, no matter what I'm going through my mind is set. Hmm yeah I've been watching those video clips. I can't remember, if they're from Ghana, but the guys who are doing

rolls were their dancing with the coffins? Have you seen this camera? What your name of its name of this group is in this area organization, but they bring a level of mood, a positive mood to a a sad moment. Yeah a lot of people and they changed the their mindset and it creates a new mood said hopefully for the environment, one hundred percent, because the way I look at funeral is a. You are honoring, somebody you are paying tribute and you are celebrating right. So when I was talking about the individual who passed and we did the funeral yesterday- that's what I did I got into the things that he did in the legacy that he left, even though he died young, and so there was like a mood of celebration tour, another family member said I felt like I was like a tony robin

yeah sure sure, but I can't I can't help myself, because you know, of course, I'm always compassionate and you gotta understand the climate of something, but also my mindset is one of we're coming that, no matter what I face, I know somehow some way I feel like I'm going to get through it. What's up, how to on learn. Recently, you ve been out this life in game and world and yeah teaching for a long time. Are there things you still need to unlearn one hundred percent relearn all game in the game, because you fall back into an old mindset? I would say this that, because I was raised in church since I was four years of age and and in in my life I got this relationship with Jesus Christ, and I was this guy that you know walk with god and then went to like a christian

college seminary and became tim story. I feel like there is a lot of things. The last few years that I decided to unlearn and that that is the this way is the way, and that way is this way, and that way is that way in this way. Is that because I've met too many people that me and you know there are I have amazing lives and they didn't go to the same churches as us. Yeah does it make sense sure, and so people are say well. Does that mean you've abandoned your faith? No, I've just embraced more and more people over the years, because this journey of embracing more people started maybe thirty years ago, but I find like them.

Ass. You years, I've really decided to. I learn a lot of stuff that I was taught my watch was everywhere. I would say the way people look at what they would call sin. I dont see it that way. I see it as were were learning we're growing we're evolving. So why are you going to label something and tag it and market like it's like when you're a kid and yet new white converse tennis shoes if you've got a scuff on them louis that was the worst iraq where you get look at the scarf right here. I feel like a lot of churches. They make people feel like dude, you scuff that miss you scuff that and you know, but don't worry if, if you good enough, you can get rid of that. So I don't see it.

that way at all anymore, I believe what the bible says: psalms, one or three that god does not treat you as your mistakes deserve, so guys, not in tit for tat guy. I don't see that as an interesting did. You feel like that was the way you your belief was around now for many years, yet always liked that most of my life, but I didn't act that way. I didn't act that way, but there It was so ingrained in me that I, you know all my buddies thought that way, and so, if I would go out with a bunch of religious leaders, they would talk that way and I started to find. Maybe you saw this in your own life as you begin to grow, that I begin to grow out of some of those associations, and I really don't associate

people that think that way too much anymore, yeah, I'm still cool with them. If I see them at the airport for sure, but it's a different way of living now, how do you frame identity? Because you grew up in l, a yeah in a challenging part attack on you had two parents that you thought you were parents yeah I you would argue talk about this probably on. Thank you. Thought that your potential one race and realize you're a different race. You you know go into religious speaking, transforming to other stuff. There's been multiple identities that you've had or shed your life yeah and I'm curious. If you can talk about what identity does for us in a positive way, yes, and also how it holds us back. Okay, identity is a key cause. If we, if, if we

don't know who we are working in the chase in our identity for a whole life and so I believe that when you find out where you came from who you are and what your purpose is. You cannot be stopped and it's this whole idea You ve been born and original. Don't I copy, but but my challenge was: is it What my true identity was was not true, and this is how this came out So I was going to do super soul sunday with our friend, Oprah winfrey, and so the one of produces called me up and said, You know we've been trying to get some pictures from your staff

regarding your parents, and they won't give us any pictures of your father, and so when I went to my mom's house, whose now ninety, and I said you know mom and she says no, no, no, your dad didn't like to take pictures. Isn't that she's a little older I decided to snoop around sure cause. I knew where the photo album was, and I saw all these other photos with him and you know my siblings because at three sisters, one brother I never saw one picture with me and him solo solo, so so oppressed people said you know, you know you talk about your dad died when you were ten. Do you have pictures we want to talk about and my mother refused to come with pictures because there was not a picture. So I'm like

polish moly like some is, this is a true story of what my aunt told me. So here's what happens. So my mother is spanish. The family comes from Spain k, my mother's first language is spanish, and so she marries a spanish guy with green eyes, very handsome guy, who I think, is my biological father, because you're a handsome guy, that's nice. Okay, so we have three sisters all older than me, a brother almost five years older than me, and then I'll come little. Timmy story, looking like boom Michael Jackson, album

says to me: where am only twelve, she goes to me. Have you ever noticed that when the other four kids go do things that your dad did not used to take you? Yes, did you ever notice that you didn't spend time with your dad and I go yes, I Lewis, I always knew something was missing, but my aunt came and told me the truth that that was not my biological father and that my mother had felt that he,

had had an affair on her yup, and so she decided at some point to have an affair on him. And so could you imagine the shock when I'm born in the compton hospital? When I come out or looking like this okay? So what happened? There was an identity problem, because you got four kids, looking spanish with green eyes, and you got little timmy over here. Who's biracial, sure wow interesting yeah, so you have an identity that you thought you were yes, but then at twelve you realize? Maybe this is not a true identity. And then you have to constantly figure Well, where did I come from? Yes? So what have you stay? Don't fully know no, you, you know who your father is released.

and knew him. Your mom knew him. Obviously, yes, but you never met him, never met him. You've never seen a photo of him. Never so you don't know your identity of the past and I just know he's black right and so the the thing, the thing where the quote my friend kanye west, when he was but some to me since I have been banned bustled so so to me, I I thought I was one Even though everybody at school was saying, like you know, you you're black, or you know I bet you have good dancer and I would then at that point just say you know we're all mixed with something cause. I'm sure she knew something was up, but nobody would tell me yeah, okay, and so, when you get into this identity thing, is that whatever was said to me about my identity? It was not real, and so so so, if I'm talking to one of the

the friends who comes from a black family and they say man remember one grandma used to make your other avenue. Yeah cause yeah black shirt and there was music playing in my house yeah, it's deep right. Some things are inevitable like allergy season, but while you can't avoid it, you can at least save on your prescription. Allergy medications by checking good are acts with good rx. You can compare prescription prices at over. Seventy thousand pharmacies to help you find the best price and you can find discounts of up to eighty percent, good or excess recommended by doc as pharmacists and millions of people across the country who have said on their prescriptions. Speaking of millions of people over twenty four million usd good our ex just last year to save on their medications, and you can too whether that's on your allergy, meds or other prescriptions actually have a t amber who is prescribed a brand name medication, but her insurance would only cover the generic brand.

And she has had side effects with a generic brand, so she was forced to pay out of pocket for the brand name with good. Our acts she's been able to save a lot of money on her meds for simple smart savings on your prescriptions check, good our acts, good a good hour ex dot com, slash greatness again, good are ex dot com. Slash greatness, gunnar x is not insurance, but it can be used instead of insurance, medicare and medicaid in twenty twenty one. Good are Ex users saved eighty one percent or retail proscription pray so when the add tells me one thing that I am happy about myself is that I did not get angry I didn't want to get even I didn't, immediately go to my mother, I never said anything to my mother from age, twelve, all the way to age. Eighteen, when I came to her as a young gentleman I said mom. I just need to know, because in college more more people are seeing me as a

black leader. They see me as a black leader and boy. She just came at me. How dare you How dare you say, I've been with another man? I've been with one man and. and that is europe. That is your father. How dare you so she she cap kept like the lie my entire life right into this point of this interview crazy. She, Not tell the truth, so how do we? What do we see? How do we embrace identity? One? Well, then it has been a lie. We have been told something: it's not when we ve had a belief for a long time about anything in life that we realise. Isn't it true belief anymore,

Yes, when someone in our life isn't who they say they are any more in a relationship. Yes, when we have this expectation hang over over and over again, when we have this, let down or disappointment over and over again from hast identity. How do we come to terms with identity and embrace who we are Yes, even when everything in the past might seem like a lie, I'm going to give you something I think you're going to love cuz. You love to learn three words: education conversation patient. So the morrow is educated about black leaders in school. I'd find myself gravitating to what they would say about these black leaders, so when they would talk about famous black leaders, okay and I'm supposed to be from the spanish family. I was like this you're like oh okay, yeah, that's interesting, because so I think that

identity as a black man who is a leader who would someday Go to seventy five countries of the world and speak to eighty five thousand people at one time, was someday going to manifest, but right now Somebody had lied to me we'll find out who I am at some point, so the education of what I would hear about black leaders k. I would I would lean in that education conversation when I would hear black guys speak like in college and they would dialogue with me about man. You don't know about boom. You don't know about you, don't know about. Have you never heard of the apollo theater? They were talking about things. I had no clue of

I didn't know about spanish, spanish, spanish scary stories, but louis I didn't let on. like dudes. I don't about that. I just kind of like you know acted like I was paying attention. And I know one brother and in in college, as you are the most charlie brown yeah, I have ever met even Eric, dickerson who's, so cool Eric used to say to me, like TIM, like man, I take away your black card if you don't start showing up or or shop for sure what show of how I didn't know so. Education, and also the the the observation and the conversation Lewis, it started to really bring out my identity of of who I am and like you, I believe, in the

their past, and there was a lady and I may give a shot out she's in having a doctor, how amended she taught at usc. This lady have changed my life. Really. What to share with you man. She cried cause. She said like this story is deep. Damn she literally started crying african american and she said it. It's it's so unfair, but your your mother must have connected this to some type of shame hmm and she said why aren't you mad at her? I said I don't know why, but I'm just not you know, she's been through her own pain. That's why I've never brought it up again. Listen again. I brought it up at eighteen, thirty and never brought it up again. Yeah it kind of goes back to perspective in any experience

yeah we were at the same party called life. Yes, you know we're at different seats of the the room, oh yeah, having different conversations with people at the same party and we could both be upset of our situations. Both say. Oh, if my mom didn't do this with this man that I'd never met, you wouldn't be able to be at the the party I wouldn't have a seat at the party, and so we get to I like the way you see that you know it's like okay. If she she didn't want to get back at her husband, yes, a very if she didn't you know I want to be here. Yes, I I agree in louis. I liked this way of thinking by you. I see it as a gift- it's that god gave me a gift that the color I am the way my lips are the way I moved away. When I watched. and I could actually dance like and all those things that that I am you know what seems so.

words for so many years, and I felt like I didn't fit in in that house. I felt like a person without a country. Have you ever been like in a cold garage? It doesn't feel like a warm house and a lot of my time. It felt like a coal garage, but I dont know where I fit in, but I think because of that it made me have to battle and find the right mind set. I had to find the right mindset and- and and I love my brother, you know just like he was you know one hundred percent, my brother, not half brother, I love my sisters today because they're to me they're my full sisters, even though you know biologically they would be considered half sisters. And I love my mother to this day and I'm very close to her and will never will never bring it up.

and I'll? Never go chases man down. I don't know where your priorities, library, I know nothing yeah. So how do we come to town our identity. When is probably we're never to have the full truths about everything young our past, even myself, who I knew my parents are other know what they all went through and their past went through. How do we? is our true identity and can even stripping down all the labels. Yet what is our true idea? Ok, so I think the the eight the identity is is found when you do what you do. I watch you do this. You are a professional at stopping looking and listening. most people, they move so fast through life. That has you've heard. It said they are human doings rather than human beings, you in the moment, k c you're, doing it a ton of things, but you'll take the time to go free.

but often ice yeah. Let's do So I think that when you stop and you Look within and you just listen, the really. You starts to speak to you, because your dream and your identity has a voice so I believe that little Timmy story knew I was going to be a freak world. Peter, even when I felt like in that house. It's like a garage, the guy that supposed to my dad just took all four kids and left my bud at home. Inside of me in that quiet I did what I just said I was stopping. I was looking within and I was I was. I was listening and there would be a time that I would unfold as we see now, I'm sure we'd be wishing for an easier.

and less on fairness and less pain. Or should we be saying you know what these are, the things that made you who you are today? Yes, if you We had a one cozy identity family, maybe you want to have been so interested in seeking wisdom and seeking answers to to help other people going through that I don't blame people, for for easier life, but the she is a song by the birds and it's called turn turn turn. It was big in england and then got big in america and is based on the book of ecclesiastes chapter three, which you've heard us kid, and that is as a time in a season for everything a time to tear a time demand time be silent, the time to speak a time to laugh at a time your more so they're just seasons and life so is low.

As I know there is a winter there's a spring there's a summer, there's a for K. So as a person who studies virtuality has a doctrine will religion. I will say this to you: call a nineteen has been a winter season, but my head of a long winter right, still mast, K, quarantine, guys, I guess, who loved the travel. We talked earlier, we're not moving around as much as we do so that's a long winter, but there's lessons to learn in the winter those lessons to learn in their pain. So I need I need to have their pain because our pain, when I m in that went to season K, I can use that pain as a library.

man, pain has been, has been, my library watching people go through pain, seeing guys do stupid stuff and it gets a lot of trouble. I'm like don't do this, so it's not just my pain is the pain. I've witnessed, about spirituality and in your your path of studying this for a long time? How important is our spiritual health in supporting our men the yeah. How can we be mentally and emotionally fit without spiritual fitness as well? Yeah excellent question: I think that, from my perspective and even studying a lot of your friends and my friends, I I think it starts in the spirit. I think that starts in the spirit and that's why, when you know when I see you in various countries and you take great photos and.

if you really look like you're, like in a nice place like you're, you're you're in the moment as your buddy MIKE good gone cause, I know how busy you are, but I think that what's happening at that time, is that something's happening to your soul. You you your soul is being fed and and your soul is at the center of your being is out of your soul. Comes the goodness of your heart out of your soul, comes forgiveness and out of your soul comes gratitude, come from the soul, so if it were not fed in the soul,

Then, no matter how strong your mind is: there's gonna be conflict. Interesting and the bible talks about it says a double minded person is unstable and all his ways, so you your mind could be like. Ok, I'm like I believe law, but you're so could just be broke down. So I know people that have a broke down. Stall because of conflict and trauma, but yet their mind is kind of strong, but they are unstable. Sure there has to be in alignment here and here and then you're pretty much unstoppable Those who might have challenges with religious yeah context or maybe doesn't believe in every element. religion therein, but they want to be spiritual. You'll want to have a connection to something greater than themselves. They want to have a connection to god or the source of the universe. Yes, what suggestions would you have,

whether they're not in a religion yeah, but they want to be connected to their sole those, I would say like seventy five, percent of my followers are not religious people there just like, people that want to live a better life. So I think that one of the things that helps you is to go to beautiful parts of creation, We have not put concrete on who have got a nature. Gotta nature does not do it for you get so whether you go to the desert. Are you go to the mountains? Are you go the ocean? it's raining man you saw just starts to be fed, so I would say to somebody go to somewhere, where there's not a lot of concrete.

and where the earth is breathing and watch how so full you feel and have fed you start to feel. Yes, I want to share our station to relationships from between parents and their kids. Yes, I dont have kids. I have amazing parents that weren't perverse that had a lot of challenges for me when I was growing up that I needed over common to many years to overcome that instilled overcoming things when you think is the biggest mistake the parents make in general with raising kids, and what was the biggest mistake new think you made in your journey of being a have an perfect parent like all parents, yeah, ok, so here's what I think I think number one this idea of putting pressure on our kids did. They have to become something by a certain age: okay, like truly

didn't want to leave college. You need to be this and then by twenty five, it would be wise. For said it is the worst thing a person can do, cause it as a team wait. Do I have to say for sure I want to be a pharmacist or I have no idea what to do the point of view I can, I can. I saw a bit o how state with an undeclared major and so again, I think his parents. They always think they have to decide. decide decide decide, come you're seventeen you're about to go. College. You need to decide, know some things. You discover ooh yeah, so some things is not the decision. It's the discovery like some of those brilliant guys that we get to talk to I'm telling you it was not any decision. It was in the discovery like I'll, give you a call and like vidal sassoon, so he was a really good friend.

and eating his daughter. I talked to all the time so we're sitting on canon drive in beverly hills. Just talking my life It also says writer. You like see his name everywhere. That was not as plan like to be vidal, sassoon jr, and so he told me how he saw this guy and this guy inspired him and he decided to try it so one of the biggest mistakes parents make is that they don't let their kids try something because they think well what if they fail, what if they fail, what if they fail? Well, then they learn something, and so again I think the pressure to decide now instead of the discovery, is one and the another thing is this. I see a lot of parents.

Try to make up for their life that they missed and they lived in almost life, but that's not going to happen to little johnny little kylie she's. she's not going to have to go through what I went through so they they they they over with a lot of pressure on pressure, I was in innovator in miami and this lady looked at me and she goes hey. I recognize you. I go well good to see you and I we started chatting about life and shit It's a little kid and she goes do you know my daughter knows all fifty states. It was just a little tiny kid I never even ass. Well, that's amazing gives were the kid you start. It is strange that the state that was the case-

should a twig. A mother in a child is perform, do right, be advanced, so I think a lot of parents. Another mistake is like I said they try to make up for what did not happen and their life and their overcompensate not a great idea What do you feel like was the thing that you did the mistake exactly what I just said that for cats yeah yeah, I think that that you know Never what I'm glad I didn't name my son like tat. story junior because that would have been not so great, and so my my son is the type that he's he's an artist he's an artist, so I would say, like okay, so do me a favor go over there and do those three things. Cuz I'm about to do an interview, and I need you to help me so then I look at them.

it'll play a video game. Yeah, okay, he's forty sure sure right. So I think that I didn't understand what his strengths were at that time, and what I should have looked for is his strengths. We're more the creativity and let him sore with his strength and not like be tough on him. because he didn't move at the pace that you move at an r r. I move at. How do we let go of these expectations as parents? I'm trying to learn on trying to learn. Yes it out for me, five year, how core self? Yes, ok, so an expectation, as you know, is, is something that we ve come. Ordered and now we wanted to arrive the way it arrives. Okay. So this is like very much your call, or even more than mine, because I'm older sure where, where you now yeah give it to me, you got used to just being in your nice locations that you live in

and I want to talk to me- just so. My warm yeah do data brigand form from their and our car right. So I think that that in your your culture Where were you are in life that you guys are so used to like everything like so instant incident and the and the immediate and so really what I see life as now or this so so good. I I see, I see life as it unfolds and men it. It unfolds like my my son's in a beautiful place in his creativity, my daughter's in a beautiful place and er activity, but they they did challenge me as they got older and they would say to me dad. Could you not life coach us at least for just a couple days sure cause? I didn't realize that that's what I was doing

like I was making everything about life we should be doing. This are huge. Why don't you try this thing? I wanted to do this as long as allowing them to discover and one one hundred percent and in the discovery and in the in the end slow roll out. They have found a better rhythm for themselves. You didn't love this in the in the game of cards. As you know, if you don't like your and you can fold so I see my cards, I don't like it so I decide to fold. I feel like a lot of people are watching right now they have folded their dreams, Before they really unfolded so they they they folded. Thinking like this is me: I'm married. I got

this many kids, this is my life. It didn't work out I fold this is this is my existence. I disagree you're still in folding, but I'm forty two you're still in folding, I'm fifty eight, I'm still in folding, so don't fold. Why? so unfolding yeah. Some people don't even pick up the cards and look and look at them. You know they get dealt the cards and they say I'm not. I'm too scared to even pick it up, because you know, and so they just don't even play the hand. Yes, but again, I don't blame the parents for wanting, it's children to do well, mostly, if they see other children not doing well but but kind of back off a little bit, and if you feel like you've trained your children in a good way, with character and morals and and really to be strong children they'll find a way they they will find a figure it out. They'll figure it out

So how do we as parents? I say we like- I am a parent, but how do parents learn to allow their kids to discover themselves more while also giving structure and organization but not too much pride? communication. So one of the things that I started doing with my kids, it was kind of painful to me I would then say to them like when they were teenagers and kate. Let's talk about like what would you like me to do different and it shocked me that the feedback yeah it's dad. I just feel like you're boom and bam and through hard enough hair and ass, yes, and and in my daughter, she's, very, very smart and she said to me one time she goes dead. I just I just feel like you think you have to be on you. Don't do you

to be on. I know that when you go somewhere outside this house, there's expectations you don't need to be on for us in here like that. Blew me away, but right just be here, don't be on here. Yes, because I was so used to be stage so often that, even when I come into the house of my big now movie, then we're gonna sure. Now you into a spiritual, religious path. Andrew school right you want to see. Religions and essentially be a preacher for many years became? I became a very famous.

Wait yourself- and I I know you- you have friends that are famous ministers and you you roll with the guys from a lot of diverse religions. Just like I do, but I didn't try to become a famous real minister that was that was wild. To be honest, so I was like I was, let's see how we put it. I was just out there minding my own business and I was doing something for inner city kids and I look in the back there's a tall guy. It was reggie white and reggie white. The football player right, you love for sure, sure, okay, so reggie white was was there and reggie white had heard from a friend of his about this guy tim story that was speaking in these inner city schools and like just like amp and people up? Ok, so he started getting me in nfl.

apples in my early twenties. So I'm in my early twenties, like speaking at all these chapels and then that, like exploded for me in the nfl, is in all of these teams, so that gave me like a little bit of leverage and credibility credibility like looking at it. As with all these guys right and then it went from that to me if more churches, started to invite me and then the the bigger guys in the space, it's almost like the space of what we have as speakers today and in our world that we walk in the big guys of the of the ministry. World saw tim story sure, and they still taking me with them. I always like the opening act is awesome. So I was the opening act, so I was speaking to like you know three thousand at super young five thousand. I had a conference of eight thousand people when I was twenty nine years of age that was

the conference, so I was like I was a boy wonder hm, but I was still very vacant. I was vacant because remember that it went back twice entities, you're still didn't really know what was really okay Trying to find myself leaving the message. Yes, I believe in what I was speaking but there was a real void in my life that I do not feel today. How do we change our dreams when we have that void? We don't know who, which were the are still or we're still seeking answers. How can we fully be confident in that yet masses that work whatever it is that were that that work there were in that field, Does he think that when you feel like you're chasing chasing chasing in the void, is there too long that you have to call it a necessary time out and be because we, both love sports Phil Jackson, was the

master of the time out and inheres here's what he said about it. He said you don't see me calling too many timeouts, because I believe that what I taught the players in practice that they'll figure out during the game. pretty right, he said so. If you see me call time out, it is totally necessary. So either and break down my day ever they're, not figure it out exactly so. I think that those times you live my life. We were plain hurt, But you still have to be lewis and I still got to be TIM. You still got to do your conference, I show up at a conference right, you gotta show up even if you're seventy eighty percent when I'm present, so we we both know how to play hurt, but there are times where there needs to be a time out. the needs of a time out. We need to come to the sideline and we need to regroup and and that's what the pandemic has done for tim story

That's when I decided with my editor to talk about the situation with who is my dad for the first time, because I thought that I would just not tell anybody my whole life real and that's why so much peace in my life, so much joy- I I I I think, I'm more funny than ever. It's like yeah, so the so the the pandemic to me has been like a a big phil jackson time out and it's just been a reset for me. What is the blessing that comes from you? Finally talking about this or accepting it or acknowledging it fully and being open to sharing it? publicly what what happened inside for you and what happens for other people when they finally do whatever that is for them. I think I think the the blessing of talking it out with Dr Helen Mendez laid from usc

was it I could, I could say it and she knew I was not judging my mother, I was not judging my sister's for not telling, and my brother was. I was not judging anybody, but I had a safe place to tell the story, and I The one reason that I'm be more open about my life now days is because all of us feel undone, we I feel, and I mean here I write a book on the miracle mentality. You no miracles, actual ordinary uncommon, not normal, but at the same time I feel undone and that's okay. I think we all have something that's slightly hanging out or there's some injury in us right and so and in telling the story is liberating me even more and I think it's going to liberate a lot of people and that's cool I'm curious about yeah cause. I think a lot of us hold on the shames whether the little shames or big shames yeah. No doubt you know

Maybe this was a big shame for or a little shame that you were holding onto for many years. A gigantic I think, a lot of us, you know I held down the shames for many years on the sexual trauma that I went through as a kid, but then other just like little shames throughout the years. I shouldn't have said that, or maybe I was a white lie, or was I an integrity in this moment holding these little shams one we? What I realize is that when we fully own the shame, yeah dainty little t trauma earlier. Big, ass little ass Jane and we embrace it, and we do talk about it whether it does not publicly in this format, but just with someone you trusted and we we own it and we embrace it and we learn to let it go. Then we can be fully ourselves. We don't have to hold onto some identity that isn't supporting us anymore yeah. I I think

We even have a deeper revelation on that that I do, and I will tell you that I've learned from you in this by by reading your book about this whole idea of you know, taking off the mask and then let me just tell you an observation. I have of my friend louis I went to your conference and I see you running this big conference, which I think and I'm not. Joking is the best conference, because it's boutique it's packed Is so many creatives in it? Okay- and I see you have to go from organizer Here- the organized.

and when you're organizing there's always something going on, saw always bright breakdown, but then you can turn around to a famous guest in and then be the nice person. Then your attention to detail with your team, of course, of hey, let's buy, presents for these people, and you like, but really cool, presents for all of the speakers that I'm not done yet then you got to go up and perform and speak like a lewis house, so you can look at all the hat you wear. Okay, then you know you have friends and friends and family? You gotta be nice to and all that, but I love that you can go from that this. This is a really cool moment. So then you have a party with your dj but Okay, so then, I see Louis from my college just so you like dancing in there

well there's a new and I'm like come from this ministry background in which You know that the bigger churches in the world- you know, eighty any thousand people. You know twenty thousand people like, in our work and the like. You grab me like alright get off the stage and I started dancing with you guys. I never got a chance to tell you. This freedom came to me who, like such freedom, cause if the religious people were watching that move that be like, what's he up to because the song had a lot of F words. So then, then, you at your size and your spelt body, then you stayed died and then you come out and do you like come on over me? Like you hate me, and then

I go mad. You talk what I really feel like you talk about freedom, son, I'm tellin you as a little brother that you are to me. Thank you for having a damn guts to dig deeper than I did at your age, because, to be honest with you, I was, I was afraid to unpeeled the onions, because I dunno what I was going to find out there. Scary man, the skeletons in the basement are scarce area and that's why it took me twenty five years of pain, yeah suffering internally of chasing something to feel yet tell myself to feel worthy loved and not enough that I got to a place where it was breakdown, after breakdown from breakdown, where it was my time out yeah it was, like my you know, emotional pandemic. If you will at that time or like

when things were in breakdown mode that I had to either I was gonna, continue to break down with more and yet have some real harm to myself and others, or I need to take a time out yeah and that time I was the best decision I ever made, probably at this stage of my life, because it allowed me to start to heal and reflect and look back at the skeletons that I did not want to face. Yes, as those things, are not fun, so sicilian area will serve the scariest thing in the world for me was facing a talking about it, dealing with it, but when I did it set me free, it felt like I could sleep for the first time, the without being up am I stressing about something that I didn't know a stressing about felt like. I can be honest for the first time with other people and not be worried about how they would respond or look at me and I felt like I could finally accept who I was yeah and that's what I seen you is is, is a freedom and we run into each other in different places.

we're one time we had a lax and we ran into each other and when I, after we were dialoguing you remember, I meet a lot of people and walked away and I thought man I love louis cause, cause you you you're in the moment here and not I love about you is that you're open to if you get something wrong, you're like okay, how do I get it right where a lot of people they want to paralyze you in your past mistakes are paralyze a person in their pain, but that's not how this life is remember we're still. Walden, and I just want to say that publicly? I really love this about you. That you're is willing to learn like okay. So when I maybe do wrong. So how do I work on that? Ok, now work done that I

not going to I'm not going to sit there and nurse it curse and rehearse it and I'm going to move on and that that's something that most men can't do. I think that many times when they're labeled they just kind of like live with that tag yeah and you and I we refuse to to live with those labels. We just take them off. Yeah yeah. I appreciate that thanks for for sharing. I think one of the reasons why I continue to do this show- and I get so excited- is because it forces me to to reflect it forces me to learn from people to hear stories and say what can I do better? How can I be better moving forward and what am I not? Let go up still yeah. That's holding me back from the next season of my life and yeah it. It took some time I mean I don't think I would have been here without

the desire to learn and be curious about how to grow. And, finally, the like reveal things but it's his child. I agree and I dont think that you would have had the same place. Men as you have because in in in our world of the people that we hang out with them. We all do these big conference with you you are one of the youngest of the of the group and yet you're up here in people's eyes, and I think that if you would spin, the young guy, that you know I have it all together and some day, if you guys do all this, we may pull europe. Up there too yeah sure sure, and I I think that that, even though you're, so gifted- and you have all these gifts that you have that you are willing to to be honest- that it made people from all different mindsets and perspectives identify. with you and you see that I mean that's. One reason that you are following is: is worldwide

I mean you even have a big following in india right I mean it's, it's it's like worldwide, because people from all over the world. They they get this sure they get. They get heart. Of course they feel their fate. The heart can think people can feel when you're faking for sure, and what do you think we strive? We put so much pressure on our cells to be perfect here in our careers, our relationships or our health. Why is this desire to be perfect? Yes, imbedded in our dna. Do you think, and how do we let go of the perfect Islam, the pressure that I think just holds us back according to psychologists, it is learned behavior, and I believe that, because I think that if you, if you play a certain beat of music to any kid

from all over the world. He could be a white kid from iowa. You play the same, beat to a black cat in ghana and they move there's theirs it there's a movement is theirs of theirs of freedom, and I think that somebody in their family or a teacher tudor began to confine them and say: that's. That's not! Okay, say, a core story. There's a there's, an artist by the name of christian Lassen and his mother was a big tim story, fan he's from hawaii and she taught me a story that when he was a little they were living in hawaii and he was looking out the window and he see these trees blowing, but he was

in wales and fish as a little kid, but yet he was looking at trees and a teacher came and said. I am very concerned about your son because he's looking at trees but drawing fish had gathered. There is great and she said well, you have the wrong perspective on my My son is an artist. My son is a creative, so he may see a tree, but he also sees something else. Beyond I mean that's just freaking brilliant sure sure we got to see beyond that. I think I think when we hold onto perfectionism. That's what hurts us the most. Yes, one of the things that hurts us the most, no doubt about it, and so again the instructor was saying drunk, don't draw a whale. When you see a tree, that's a tree right

Think tree draw tree, know the most creative guys that we hang out with male and female. They say definitely the other continents drawn outside the lines like you know, there's a chain where the whole idea is it's it's limited, and you know I think so many people They've allowed the limitations to come into their minds and they've stayed stuck on But again, as I said earlier to education conversation observation, you can change that fast see. That's one thing that so powerful about your part cas what you ve done, but how many now we're a thousand observed so over a thousand think of all the conversations

come out. I mean you conversation with ray louis, your conversation with my thyssen. Your conversation with kobe bryant, which I still believe is the best topped the copies ever put up all these to do the job to spend as all the different people that you talk to. Those conversations now are alive online. That someone could be in a funk right and find that conversation and find life, beautiful turn your fucking to freedom, yeah, I'm! I want go back to your ministry days and spirituality and religious world that you really were were kind of your phase, one of your adult life. He s a lot of people that I've been aware of have a belief in a mindset around money that is limited, especially in the spirituality and religious com.

text, did you have a limited belief around money when you're out there helping people with prayer and for practice. Why not? Why not a percent, and how did you learn to create an abundance mindset and break free of money conversations yeah? So I think again, so when people search for spiritual city, You know, depending many times of where they were raised. What country is the religion they're going to follow right? Okay, but let's say even if somebody is a person that is real American, they decide to go to a christian church, there's all types he ever pisca pelion catholicism near the railroad and church lutheran church, pentecostal charismatic. You have all these different types and so the type of church I went to had a lot of false humility like a lot of like

well then give yourself too highly that you're you're, like your worm. Does that make sense? If you really need god, because we're you're nothing, you got your real, be not be okay, and so it was weird, though it without that penetrate. I know I can do it yeah it was wild. So I I didn't like that it, but I did lady in this idea of that, if you, going to be a spiritual person, then Everything had to be like meagre or slightly above so scary to me, is that when you know what, was like this well known, minister and, like a multi level, marketing company asked me to speak for the first time and I was twenty four, and so they asked me.

week, and I remember they gave me a five thousand dollar check. So that's a long time ago, there's a lot of money yeah and I remember looking at it cause. He told me I'll, open it up and see. If that's enough- and I learned that I going to be like one hundred dollars. So it's a fight. I said oh sir, I can't I can't take that he goes. Oh of course he goes you're you're fantastic. He goes I'm he goes. I am I'm investing in somebody, I think, is fantastic. Louis. I try to give it back to the guy, because I had that mind. inset that meager mindset in the area of finances, and I think a lot of people have it and it's not just because of spirituality. It's maybe how their parents worse or right how the culture they come from. So I I believe in abundance because, as as abundance comes to me, that I can give from my sacral

as and I can get for my surplus c, because I know you, you, like your your sanitarium. Where can you go to season do stuff? Just like I do so not all coming from sacrifice It's not on. I don't have enough not to sacrifice his money that I dont have enough to pay for things to come for my dog on surplus yeah. I love that feeling. I love that feeling when a kid like one of my friend's kids says like uncle tim, you know I'm hoping to do this, but you know I'm trying to save and data and I'll feel something but I'll ask the dad. First I'll say: like you, don't know your son five years. Are you cool? If I bottom now no come on TIM, I mean he wants it, but better you call if he does. If I bought yeah yeah, I liked that feeling of walking in surplus and because it the way I look at it, you become a miracle release her yeah see where miracle releases. So I watch I watch how you are. If you go somewhere,

It's not just because you're taught that they're going to notice you or they feel your spirit, so they're looking for something. So we were a miracle release hers in what we say and who we are and also what we do. But you can't come from that place if you're not attracting abundance and thinking, I'm an abundant mindset. So, if you're lacking, how can you give Eric holes? How can you give positive energy that just hits people in the heart and wakes them up? I love that you've got to be coming from abundance and thinking that way. So how did you shift that? mindset from scarcity sacrifice mode to yes, we have me more actually pay me double Yang us as I love those unless the euro can be more I'll get. So what happened is I I met a guy in my twenties, who was a spiritual guy who is not in my face

There was a spiritual guy anyway. Super humble like other nice is humble guy and He had a big mercedes, bad this friday it's not your money, but yeah. So I began to see different people that lived in a fluent, but they they still had the right. It's all a matter of the heart and its don't you think so: her heart sure it's it's where it's where the heart is like, we enjoy nice, vacations and stuff in nice, hotels, but a pit zone put me in a crappy play I can handle it could have been there. We are, of course, right join hit the he share with you, something that woke you up to this one said we address witnessing him and how'd, you start to apply it because it's one thing young live a certain,

for twenty five thirty years of scarcity and then it's another way to apply it consistently and not be still. in the past. I love what you're saying. So, how did you apply and then not fall back two, while I gotta sidelined as I did to me. He liked me so much. He challenged me. He said we ve known each other for a while. Are you ok? If I go in on you, I do know that met. I said, ok go ahead and he said I think you are are getting a borderline, false humility. I mean by that he goes. I tell you, you did good in your speech and go. you know steckler isn't. Adder is actually are Look at your blown up, you know, but thank you god. You know who is all because those are the all the answers I was raised and issues

I think that even in this area of monies TIM, you got such a strong mind and you're a great businessman. How come life can't bless you, so I like it, he challenged me. He challenged me and I think that you challenge because you had coaches coming commonality? I've been challenged by coaches, but we also need to continue to be coached by people to really challenges tat. Take us that mundane k to the miraculous out. like TIM, the mundane, if it wasn't for the right coaches, the book talks about the mundane, the messy in the mad. Yes do most of us live in those three areas. One out of research and if so, how do we break free of a game on data? Is the normal stuff we do, but we all have to do normal stuff. So if you have a house, you have to throw the trash out of certain day or you have to go to deem b, which I don't like it

at are. We have to go with gasoline, that's monday, sure that's regular stuff that we do, but if you're not careful You'll get so into them and Dane has routine that messi starts to get into your monday. The message is those life interruptions, the drama- a family member goes wrong in your relationship, so what I find is a people go, from the mundane and they add the messy so They are mundane and messy gay. You don't take care of the mess it becomes mad and madness man. I really think most people, fluctuate between the mess in the madness to mess in the man is the mass in the matter. Never out and they can never get out of it- they don't get out of it. And then how Are you gonna make room for them come entirely. If your mind is full of the mess in the mad. That's why he could see like friends of art. It could be the best party

like solar cells. Here this guy performance zone shown up, but the they look like they're all yeah. You know why, because their minds just got messy and madness It's like it's an awesome living by the ghetto boys. It says my mind's playing tricks on me sure, like do your mind playing tricks on you, you're caught in the middle of the mess and the madness, so we gotta clear the clutter, yeah, clearly connor. How do we do that? We clear the clutter by going back to the steps earlier. Yeah, stop, look and listen. You gotta call a time I myself did don't show up to their party, then they said right for you that I will now don't go through the motions to your ass. He had done take on another project, just cause your cash hot to supply. Thank you. I know that you're talking about their p.

Age a kind of addressing the stuff, your identity of the past and the hurts the pains of the past. I have just been more and more a fan of their p or therapeutic moments or experiences. Yeah. That's you talking do accounts are one on one more, not yes, even in a therapeutic experience, so that we can take a time out and reflect yes, whether that's a journalist experience I of fair p, whether that's one one conversations up a priest or yes, someone to to connect with just filling you ve gotta be willing to do the prophet s. Do you ve got to otherwise you're, always in I'm, just gonna do more creation mode and not reflection, so so good, so we ve gotta be thinking about. This is right. I think a daily practice is powerful of lawyers waking up and reflecting when you go to sleep reflecting, so you doesn't get messy for years.

Yes, your daily cleaning up the mass yeah so that super power. What you're saying because in this thing that we talk about early recovery, is discovery so so every day every day, So that's why when me- and you talk we're not just talking about have you talked to someone? lately hey, it has amazing aura when when we we get right into life, because I I wanna like say like my friend s, because what? If what? If you said man, I can't believe this happened to my dog are men. This happened is so, and so did you know the sun so got sick because that's like the recovery, I think too many people are keeping their recovery areas so bottled up near the debit coming in infected on the inside, no doubt about it and then they, but they still show up

they they still show up at the event right and no, I think that therapy is like a physical part. It's like an invisible cancer. It's like maybe, you don't see it on the outside, but, unlike like the cancer, is growing on the. a lower. You wait the more grows yet more consume your body and that's why it's important to address these things. The power of honesty will change my gosh it'll change. You it's funny. I had mr wonderful on criminal leary? Yes, and the entire theme of the opposite, I wouldn't think, could be from him for the entire fame he kept saying over and over again, he probably said this twenty tops. No joke is to always tell the truth. Power to other people and to yourself yes, and he is like people may not like it has on the show shorthand capital. Leary is always saying. What's on his, my colleague comes across as this arrogant kind of like

truth, teller in the in a non positive way right, but he's like at least you know what you get from me- that I'm always going to tell you the truth. Yes, and if I don't tell the truth, self into others. Then we have to remember the lie, growers inside of me in the lie, has to change in a somewhat energy holding onto the lie as oppose just always tell the truth, so good the lesson that we can learn is just like: don't let the cancer grow just like, let it go tell the truth to someone else to yourself, yes and live with the truth yeah because- and I think also when you tell the truth, if, if someone's a true friend, male or female yeah, they'll they'll they'll protect you so there's a scripture in the This is pity the person who any falls? He has no one to help him up and pity that same person Who, when they are cold, they have no one to keep them warm now watch how cool this is. I think

One reason so many celebrities have come to me over the years is not just because I'm a good talker there's a lot of good talkers out there. There's a lot of clever guys are fancy stuff to say no, I'm really good at just being there for somebody, a lotta people, I, work with when I work with them in a session. I know they're really beat the hell cuz. I just saw them on tmz. I might ask him a lot of questions. I'm just present just be with people. Yes, can I be warm place when they're cold ooh? That's why you said yes and I want people to get this book. They can go, get it right now. It's called a miracle mentality tap into the source of magical transformation, your life they can get it on amazon, bookstores, you're, also all over social media. Yet in the story and tim story, official, honest ram and facebook, yes, and in our previous episode, ass to the three truths question and the debt

mission of greatest I'm curious if its change and I'm not gonna, share with you what you said before will link it up, so people could hear that is gonna get interesting. Yeah, I'm curious if you could share three things with the world. If this was your last day on earth and you could only share three lessons that you've learned and they wouldn't have access to anything else that you've put out, but these three things is all we have to remember by what would you say are those three truths you would share with the rest of the way? I think I think this might be more because I have this feeling still is you been born in original? Don't die a copy, so the addicted, the key is is, is be yourself. Be yourself would be, would be one okay, okay, number two

so in this is on the same line of the truth. I would tell somebody that correct yes, so number one be yourself, and the second is is that live your purpose and I think that so many times people become a discount version of themselves. I like tony robbins but you're, not him and I'm not him, but I applaud you yeah. I like Denzel You're not here, and I am obliged to leave your purpose. Otherwise, your discount version of yourself ok, k and number three hundred three as you may not be what you want to be, but thank god, you're, not what you used to be celebrate how far you come. Man celebrate, I'm I'm, I'm okay with where I am

The plan for your life and what I mean by that is, if you're a mother of four kids, and that is a plan and that's the assignment for your life, then that is great cause cause you're, raising four kids, if you're the guy building freeways on the ten freeway and then, if that's your assignment, then that is greatness.
