Hello, Kman here again for Kinship Code. Today we are going to be talking about the Mona Lisa, the Mona Lisa, that is you. The work of art. That is priceless. You stay tuned. Time--and coming you from Kinship Card Australia, downtown Brisbane, I'm actually in Fortitude Valley with my main dude. He's riding shotgun with me, Zane C Weber. Check him out on LinkedIn. He's the man you need for podcasting. He's the dude.

Today's episode of Kinship Code is based on priceless works of art. Priceless works of art. We spend fortunes travelling around the world or even your own country travelling to museums to line up. And nowadays when we got back to lining up at museums, we'll have to do it. The social distancing why 1.5 metres away from each other to line up, to pay out good money, to go in and look at these marvellous works of art masterpieces that takes your breath away. You go in and you just go, wow, look at that.

[00:01:36] That creativity, the genius, the beauty. The essence of creativity, the miracle. Of creativity. The miracle of art, of perfection. Of beauty.

[00:01:55] All these wonderful positive words that we just rise up our own spirits when we speak and think and apply these words to these work of art, which is outside of our zine.

[00:02:11] Kinship code. Kai Man is here to tell you. There is a greater prise.

[00:02:20] Then the artwork that you are paying and spending the energy on to go and view, you guessed that. You guessed it. If you've been listening to my previous podcasts.

[00:02:33] You will know that I'm talking about the work of art. That you get up in the morning, you. Yes, you, the listener. You get up and you go. And the first thing you look into a mirror.

[00:02:52] That should take your breath away and say, my goodness. What a work of art. Rejoice.

[00:03:04] In the Seumas spirit, that is you.

[00:03:09] You are priceless. And developing that sense of self pride. Comes from your inner self. Now, the kinship card people of Oxley. Kai, man, have you written this kinship code?

[00:03:30] Have you climbed some scary bilong hilltop mountain to find this kinship code scriptures hidden in a cave under a boulder? Were these kinship cards? Did you go diving off the deep Indian Ocean looking for these kinship cards written in ancient cylinders and stored away?

[00:03:57] The kinship code that I'm talking about is a card that everybody has. They can't ship code. Is you. It is about the best version of you.

[00:04:17] How you conduct yourself as a human being while you walk this planet Earth and you've got a pulse, you've got a heartbeat.

[00:04:29] You've got humour, you've got sadness, you've got joy, you've got disappointment. All these human factors comes back to how you treat yourself in the kinship way of thinking.

[00:04:49] There are now referees. There are now linesmen. There is no time KBR. It's just you. You keep my entine. Your own kinship. Code of the best version you can be.

[00:05:12] Because it's when you're in that translucent state of that zone, if you like, of the kinship kind, it becomes part of your everyday life. And I spoke about this before.

[00:05:28] It's about developing discipline. Discipline to really appreciate and love who you are.

[00:05:38] A discipline to wake up in the morning and look in the mirror and say, I am worthy.

[00:05:46] And when you do that, when you get up in front of that mirror, you don't just stand there and say, I am worthy and look in the mirror and say whatever you look in that mirror, you stare down deep, deep into the eyes, looking back.

[00:06:01] And that's you. And guess what? You can't hide. You can't lie. You can't blame anyone else. It's just you. So when you look into your eyes.

[00:06:15] And you say I am. Were the.

[00:06:21] That takes a sense of discipline.

[00:06:25] Now I'm sharing these stories and someone said to me, you know, did you find these cuds?

[00:06:30] I've just. I'm actually talking about my life, how I've developed into the person I'm at. People now I'm 55. Osborne on the 14th of December, 1964.

[00:06:47] Just make a note of that. It's my birthday, the 14th of December. We all appreciate presents, chocolates. Be good. But that's at 55 years of age. I've not hit a point and I haven't I haven't got to the point. I haven't got to my end of my journey. I haven't got to my destination. I'm really excited about the mountain that I'm climbing. Every day is a different struggle. Every day is a different journey. But it takes discipline to keep your leg and your feet one foot in front of the other. Climb the mountain until it becomes a habit. So the discipline will translate into a habit. And then it becomes routine. And then it becomes a lifestyle. And then when you walk past the mirror like me, I will pass the mirror. And I stopped to admire it. Wow, look at me, huh? Amazing. I was going to say the F word then. I know that children could be listening. Ionising on my chest. Good.

[00:08:04] And people on my Facebook page right now, I took a lot of selfies because I like what I see. And I've not. And let me just tell you, I haven't always been like that. It isn't something that comes easily. If it was easy, everybody be doing it. It took a sense of discipline, but as one, I put myself up-tick himself previously like two years ago even I've taken selfies. But they were like, OK. This is the process. Selfie put on the Facebook. Yep. Yep. Like like like I put art. Now I take a selfie because I really appreciate what I see. It's like I'm I'm looking at the Mona Lisa. The most photographed, the most viewed artwork in the world is the Mona Lisa. I treat every day when I look in the mirror, when I walk past the reflection on the glass pine, there's my Mona Lisa. It's a priceless piece of art and I give gratitude. That's another thing we got to do. We got to give gratitude.

[00:09:16] Where we're at. The gratitude, because I am so grateful and I was just talking to a colleague this morning.

[00:09:27] I had a bad year last year. In November, I hit the wall. I had to have well, the whole month of November, 2019, I was gone. I had nothing. Nothing. Empty tank had my business running all around the countryside, running out of money. My money. Spending more money.

[00:09:49] Afraid of being homeless.

[00:09:53] But the discipline of self-belief that comes from self worth self-love, self-respect.

[00:10:04] That all combines to the most powerful being in the world.

[00:10:11] So all the magnificent the magnificent beauty that is priceless works of art. You're right. It takes discipline to develop that kinship card, your kinship code.

[00:10:28] Kit, my message is we internally give away our power by externally giving it to other people, to brand us, to define us. We say world, define who I am and I'll jump to the tune of what you're telling me. Whereas if you say, Hey, world, this is me, this is why. This is how I am and this is how I walk and this is how I talk. The world would accept you on your terms. Don Look for the world to accept you on their terms because it ain't gonna happen.

[00:11:09] Your sense of joy and fulfilment will be out the window. So developing this discipline. To become habit.

[00:11:20] To become routine, to become lifestyle, I can honestly say I now live a lifestyle which in short, don't get me wrong, I'm not 100 percent always up. And Adam. As a human being all go through emotions, the emotions of feeling, you know, just not up with it, feeling down, feeling sad. But dies. But my parts of my mindset now is at a point where the light at shines the darkness. Darkness was always bay. They always tell people there are two angels sitting on your shoulders. Ones like Darth Vader from Star Wars sitting on one shoulder. The other one is like Florence NIGHTINGALE sitting on the other. But they you. And one one of them will tell you something bad about yourself and the other one will tell you something positive about yourself.

[00:12:26] And they share about equal Gramsci, you're sort of caught in this limbo. Whereas if you take it upon yourself to develop this discipline. That becomes habit, that becomes routine, that becomes lifestyle, that 50 50 percent ratio. Which they share. The dark side of you and the light side of you. Your dark side will actually shrink and your light side will improve to a higher percentage of your being, of your mindset, of the lens that you view the world.

[00:13:01] There'll be more light and darkness. Doctors will come in, but it won't take long before the light comes in and boom.

[00:13:10] You back up in. So in closing this podcast. I just want to say, you really need to appreciate the beauty of art. Which is you.

[00:13:26] STYE Sife K-P Strong warg Strong and we'll catch up next time. Kai Man out peace.
