Together We Rise – Elliott Hulse Message

Few things are as uplifting as the greatest moments in sports, and nothing brings us together

quite like Team USA at the Olympic Winter Games. From NBC Universal's iconic storytelling

to the innovative technology across Xfinity and Peacock, Comcast brings the Olympic Games home

to America, sharing every moment with millions. When Team USA steps onto the world stage,

we're not just watching, we're cheering together. This winter, we're all on the same team. Comcast,

proud partner of Team USA.

You will always be left with what you came here with, which is the passionate blueprint of your

authentic self-expression founding your heart, my man. That is the journey. The journey isn't to

stack your bank account or to stack toys. That's the lie. That's what we've been fed. That's what

we've been told. That is a byproduct of one of two things, either lying to yourself and lying

to the world and sacrificing your soul so that you can have those things hoping that they will

bring you joy and pleasure or living authentically. And when you live authentically,

those things will either be added to you because that's a part of your path or they won't.

And you got to be okay with that because if you're focused on the outcome rather than the

journey, rather than the art, rather than the self-expression, the poetry, the authoring of your own

life, being the authority of your own life. So you made your bed, now you got to sleep in it.

Just be okay with that. Take responsibility for that. Don't feel sorry for yourself. Feel empowered

by the fact that you are a creator in your life. You're a manifestor of circumstances. You did

something and you made something happen. Every moment comes with it's yin and yang. Every moment

comes with it's light and dark. Every moment comes with it's good and evil. The idea is to be

fully present in the moment so that you can experience it all in its rawness and its intensity in its

purpose. Each moment, its purpose is itself. We're not needing to do anything more. We're

needing to get out of the way and let our truth shine through. Always go to virtues. Always go to

character. Always go to who you're not being or who you're being. When you're ready to be great,

greatness shows up in front of your eyes. Open up to your intuition. Open up to your higher

consciousness. Open up to your truth and stop letting fear-based consciousness based on past

hit. Keep you stuck, bro. You gotta breathe.

You look pain happening in your legs as you wrap out one more squat because it'll be all the more

pleasurable when you reach the inevitable other end of the spectrum where you're laying in your

hammock and sipping on a protein shake. Boy, I really went hard. I really went hard on that set.

I really went hard in that relationship. I really went hard in school. I really went hard in

my career. I really went hard in life. Go hard. Die. I want to feel light. That's why I'm not

afraid of pain. That's why I'm not afraid to take risks.

Because I'm crazy about life. I love the rain. I love the elements. I love the way it

feels on my body. I see people afraid of the rain. I say, boy, you're afraid of life.

There is a self-destructive side of yourself.

There is a self-destructive side to every single one of us. You can't be here without a shadow.

There is no light without shadow. There is no being without shadow. There is no

day without night. The self-destructive side of yourself is just as important and intricate to

your wholeness as your seemingly more positive or resourceful side. Successful people don't

make the right decisions. They make all kinds of bad decisions because successful people have

shadows too. The difference between successful people and others is that successful people make

their decisions right. And making your decision right begins with taking full responsibility,

ownership and loving your destructive side, your shadow side. Making the right decision isn't about

fixing yourself or remedying the problem. It is about self-acceptance first. When you can

fully accept your shadow and all the things in them, they no longer manipulate you from the dark

side, from your ignorance, from your unconscious. When I make this decision and I get this result,

what is God trying to show me? What is my inner being trying to reveal to me? What part of myself

have I denied and now is manipulating me from the underworld? Your shadows, your destructive side,

those things that you have shoved down in your deep, dark unconscious often times contain

the greatest gifts you've been given. You think yourself as a loser. You really do. That's why you can't

win. Oh, I don't feel so good today. Get your lazy sick ass up out of bed. Take those very things

that you've been resisting. Look at them. Question them. Look at them from multiple different angles.

And then integrate it into your wisdom, into your being. Knowing that self is first,

foremost, primary, foundational and means way more than anything else.

Indulge in the pain. Feel the pain. You've got a broken ankle. Just feel the pain.

When you're working out, you just like you want to die. Feel the death happening in you.

You're going to be living as a shell of yourself. It might be a shiny, flashy,

expensive shell, but just a shell, my friend. If you're being yourself and being your truth,

you have no desire to push anybody else off of their truth or try to bring them onto your truth

with your righteousness. Every single limitation that you have is designed to make you a bit

stronger. Either by teaching you how to move over around or through a brick wall or shedding

light, becoming enlightened about your shadows. You want to live a big game. You got to figure

yourself out and you got to start dealing with yourself objectively. If you know you're fearful,

get very clear about what you're fearful about. Why you're making choices in your life based on

that fear and then face that fear. It is never our job to get anyone else to believe in trust or

accept our stance. It's never our job to be right. It is always our job to be true.

Love your destructive side. Accept your destructive side. Remember that it is equal in part to your

light side and it will always be there. Now we live in a world that causes us, forces us,

conditions us to look outside ourselves for answers. This is normal and natural based on the

conditioning we've received. Meaning that where I stand is never good enough because I need reference

for that to be validated. I need, like you say, relationships, friends, family, school and work.

I need other people, other circumstances, other reflections to show me my worth. This is the fall

of man. This is where we lose ourselves and this is where we get knocked off of our ground by man.

If those bad memories come and you notice that an anxiety rises in your belly and chest,

then the time is now to do something physically to expel it, to exercise it. When you see greatness

in anyone, what you're seeing is your own self-power personified right before your eyes.

I am you, you or me, together we rise. It doesn't matter if the world is crumbling down around you.

It doesn't matter what's happening. You got to look outside the box. Where are the warriors?

Let's say I'm going to make a decision and I'm keeping it. Devotion, discipline, devote yourself to

something bigger. Be decisive about what you're going to do. Say I'm going to do it and that's it.

And then be disciplined about getting it done every single day, whether you be like it or not.

Freight rail does more than move goods.

It drives America's economy. Every dollar invested generates another $2.50 in economic activity,

spurring growth from farms to factories. And here's the best part. Freight railroads fund their own

infrastructure, saving taxpayers billions while powering the economy forward, from reducing

highway congestion to delivering goods safely and efficiently. Freight rail keeps America moving.
