In this episode, we're diving deep into the question, "Who Are We?" It's a topic that's close to my heart, and I can't wait to explore it with you. But before we get into that, I want to share a little bit about my own journey.
For me, basketball and sports have played a huge role in shaping my identity. They've taught me about teamwork, perseverance, and the importance of believing in myself. I've learned that self-confidence is key to achieving greatness, and I want to pass that message along to all of you.

Thanks for tuning in, and let's get started with today's episode!

I'm thrilled to welcome you to another episode Of Cousin Ed's Corner, where we explore a variety of topics with diverse guests. This space is all about connection and communication within our community. I encourage you to share your thoughts, engage with the show, and leave comments. Your participation is what makes this podcast a vibrant community.
One of the highlights of this episode is a motivational interview from Deion Sanders. He said, "I don't care, and I wish the world thought like that. "If you're out there right now, do not give a darn what opinions people have of you as long as that opinion is not consistent of that of yourself. You be you I'm not planning to make you feel good about me. I already feel good about me. I'm good!!!" This quote resonates deeply with me, and I believe it's a message we all need to internalize.
The importance of self-confidence and knowing oneself cannot be overstated. It's crucial to remember that our worth is not defined by others' opinions. Yes, hurtful comments, especially from those close to us, can sting. But it's essential to do some soul-searching and stand firm in our good intentions.
I want to remind you all that you are blessed and highly favored. Continue being great, continue striving for your goals, and continue being the amazing person you are.

I'm really excited about today's episode; but before we get started I want to make it clear that the information we share on this podcast is for informational purposes only and should not be taken as financial advice. 
Now, let's talk about something that's near and dear to my heart - Financial Freedom. I believe that everyone deserves to have control over their finances and the ability to plan for their future. Throughout this episode, I'll be sharing personal stories and examples to illustrate the importance of financial freedom.
One thing I want to emphasize is the value of being mindful about how we spend our money. It's easy to get caught up in buying things that don't bring us any real return on investment. Instead, I encourage you to think about how you can make your money work for you. 
Even if you only have small amounts of money to invest, it's never too early to start. In fact, I'll be sharing some tips on how you can save and invest, even on a tight budget. There's even an app tout there that gives you cash back on your purchases - it's a game-changer!

In this podcast episode, I want to take a moment to express my gratitude and give thanks for all the wonderful aspects of my life. Recently, I had an incredible experience that I just have to share with you all. I had the opportunity to meet a distant cousin from Denmark who had recently found his father (my uncle), all thanks to the power of technology. It was truly a heartwarming reunion, and I can't help but praise my dad for spearheading this incredible event. It just goes to show the importance of family and the incredible things that can happen when we come together.
On a different note, I would like to take a moment to offer prayers for my cousin who is currently exploring the East Coast in an RV. I pray for traveling mercy and that he has a safe and memorable journey.
I also want to offer prayers for your jobs, stability, and mental well-being. Life can be tough sometimes, but I truly believe that with faith and perseverance, we can overcome any challenge that comes our way. I also want to send prayers to the youth, reminding them of God's presence and protection. You are not alone, and there is always someone looking out for you.

In this episode of Cousin Ed's Corner 'Motivational Monday', I want to talk about something that's really close to my heart - Core Values, especially when it comes to raising kids. You see, I believe that our core values shape who we are and how we navigate through life. So, today I'll be sharing some personal stories and experiences that highlight the importance of core values.
Growing up, I was fortunate enough to have parents who instilled strong core values in me. They taught me the importance of honesty, respect, and kindness. These values have guided me throughout my life and have helped me build strong relationships with my family and friends.
I want to encourage all of you to take a moment and reflect on your own core values. What are the principles that you hold dear? How do they influence your decisions and interactions with others? It's important to be aware of our core values and ensure that they align with the kind of person we want to be.
To make things even more interesting, I'd love to hear from you! I invite all of you to leave voicemails sharing your core values. I plan on playing some of these messages on future episodes, so don't be shy! Let's create a community where we can learn from and inspire each other.
Lastly, I just want to express my love and gratitude to all of you, my listeners. Your support means the world to me, and I want to encourage you to stay motivated and positive. Remember, our core values are like a compass that can guide us through any challenges we may face.

On my latest episode of Cousin Ed's Corner, I found myself grappling with the unexpected twists and turns that life throws at us, all while emphasizing the power of consistency. Despite being remote due to unforeseen weather issues, I made sure to share my thoughts with you all because staying consistent was the core message I wanted to deliver. I dove into instances from my own life and others' where plans got disrupted, and stressed on the idea that when you're consistent, you're more likely to receive grace from both people and the universe. I remind you to maintain consistency in everything you do, whether it's your finances, household chores, or relationships. You can catch the episode  https://www.cousinedscorner.com/e/Consistency
