Transcript

it's December 18th 2043 20 years in the future I'm 52 gathered around a fire in my home where the vibrations could not be higher my wife and kids are connecting laughing exchanging stories of their recent Adventures as I hear the crackling fire and the laughs my phone rings it's the CEO of one of my companies the masterful king he says to me Roberto you're not going to believe it that massive goal we set we superseded it we've helped over 1 billion men become masterful kings men who are in their integrity who are showing up up in excellence in their health their family and their work

congratulations brother we did it and as I hear him celebrate our massive accomplishment naturally I smile because this is a vision that came to me over 20 years ago now let me be clear when it first came up oh yeah I I felt some fear yes I doubted my ability to make it happen but I chose to trust the ambitious delicious calling of my soul even though I've experienced an ocean of hurt of failure and pain getting kicked out at 10 years old addicted to drugs at 15 being a high school dropout being responsible for a graveyard of failed businesses but get this none of

that stopped me from pursuing my vision you see to create the life we want that life of joy of real fulfillment it requires us to take a chance on our Soul's deepest desires on our vision and so I thank him for updating me and immediately get back to my family we continue our evening of laughter jokes games and fun and as everyone goes to bed I decide I'm not done I go to my office and I I pick up a very special photo get this it's me den and Reena as I'm holding up the first place trophy for having won the Grand Slam in 2023

I'm reflecting on how difficult of a time that was for me because one month prior to that photo being taken I couldn't pay my rent and as a father father as a husband as a provider as a man that nearly crushed me I remember laying on my kitchen floor sobbing praying hoping for a way out of the deep dark hole I found myself in and even though my vision seemed impossible oh it was definitely improbable I I took action like I was Unstoppable and so I peeled myself off the kitchen floor I made a plan and I got to work quickly I became obsessed with

being an advocate for the men that I'm here to serve starting with my two sons Jordan and kaisen I learned a very important lesson back then without action the life of joy that we want to create it'll never happen we need to be willing to put in the work to create it that's how we will literally create Joy how we go from kicked out at 10 to impacting over a billion men and so as I'm standing in my office photo in hand I smile and close my eyes as I bring my Consciousness back to the stage of the Grand Slam in 2023 I got a

message for you from the future you are meant for greatness you deserve that life of Joy but without a vision you could miss it when you're willing to take consistent action eventually you'll be living it when it's impossible or It seems impossible for God's sakes have faith in it find the strength to push through so one day your future self will look back and thank the past you thank you

Transcript

when I say you belong you say I belong you belong yes you do the key to belonging is integrity unfortunately and ironically our need to belong will sometimes trick us into doing things that are completely outside of our own integrity which is like committing infidelity with the validation of others against our own soul let that Sizzle your brain for a moment you see that's what I did for years I was in a relationship hiding behind the fact that my integrity was non-existent pretending to be a loyal man because she saw me that way but what she didn't see was all the ways I cheated on

her my definition of cheating is when we do or say something we wouldn't do or say if our partner was present so yeah the time I flirted with that cashier cheated or the time I let that woman hug me a little longer than appropriate cheated how about the time I slept with our best friend cheater for years I pretended to belong in the category of loyal husband dedicated father successful entrepreneur lies until one day the guilt ate away at me so much I couldn't take it anymore I remember this moment I was driving home from work bawling my eyes out and all I wanted to

do was Drive in a traffic I'd been pretending to be happy for so long putting on a smile for my wife and son yeah we all got along but this ocean of Lies was drowning me keeping me from ever feeling like I truly belonged shortly after I heard a whisper today is the day you will tell her everything honestly I tried to fight it but the whisper it persisted today you will tell her everything so to soothe my anxiety I picked up the phone called one of the only people who knew the truth of my lie bro I uh I think I gotta tell her

what don't be a [ __ ] you soft sulking wussy telling her will be your fatality keep your mouth shut don't you care for your family you see his reaction was a reflection of the crowd I belong to sure his words magnified the doubt in my head but my heart knew I needed to tell her screamed at me rightfully so told me to leave and never come back and as I was laying in my mom's basement holding the weight of being the reason why my family was torn apart it was the beginning of my healing because For the First Time I was in my Integrity

for the first time although I was alone I belonged I could actually look at myself in the mirror so I gave myself permission to grieve the death of my marriage and I told myself Roberto don't you [ __ ] run from this pain you feel this so you remember and make sure this never happens again eventually I moved out of my mom's basement thank God and got the help I needed to heal the wounds of Abandonment that caused me to cheat in the first place the space those wounds would take were the cause of what messed up my fate they gave me this warped view

of what it meant to belong if a woman liked me validated me wanted to have sex with me then I belonged no I realized the key to belonging is learning how to live in our own integrity from there we feel like we belong right here in our body in our life because when we belong in here we set ourselves up to belong out there and since this realization I've manifested the relationship of my dreams I'm a proud and present father of two incredible sons and my wife and I we help powerful High achieving women learn how to love and Trust after life-altering heartbreak because we've

been there and by learning how to live in our integrity we know how great it feels to truly belong I'm Roberto Paez one whole half of the conscious couple reminding you that always and in all ways no matter what you've done or where you've been you belong yes you do thank you
