They Call Me Mista Yu: FLASHBACK ---When Life Kills Your Plan and Gives You Purpose Instead

Feb 16, 2026 00:39:20

Our team thought it was a great idea to start rewinding previous (but timely) episodes of our show during the times that Mista Yu is away from the microphone. All of these beautiful Blasts from the Past were previously broadcast, but we are sharing them with you at a time when you might need them most. Hope you enjoy the review!

What if the moments that scare you most are the ones that shape you best? We open the vault and walk through three defining scenes—an unthinkable bus accident, a car crash that erased a beloved Corolla, and a reluctant roller coaster ride—that reveal how grace, faith, and character form under pressure. No clichés here: this is the messy middle where plans fail, bodies hurt, and control slips, yet purpose gets clearer and courage learns to breathe.

I talk about why every real story needs conflict and an arc—and why trying to live in a straight line flattens the soul. The 1984 hospital days, the fear of amputation, the grind of pain that lingered for years, and the quiet decision not to turn hard inside. The 1994 collision that arrived without warning and taught responsibility over blame. And a simple ride that became a blueprint: same track, same fear, different posture—hands up, eyes open, supported by friends who modeled courage in real time.

Along the way, we press into a harder truth: you can’t rebuke life. It happens to everyone, and the measure of us is how we respond when it does. Destiny is not a prize waiting at the finish; it’s the muscle that grows while you serve, lead, and stay generous even when results are slow. You’re the main character. No one else can walk out your chapters, but you don’t have to do it alone. Let the story’s weight build strength, not bitterness. Lift your hands when the rails shake. Choose purpose over control, character over comfort, and community over isolation.

If this resonated, tap follow, share it with a friend who needs courage today, and leave a quick review so more people can find the show. Tell us: which chapter of your story is asking you to keep your hands up right now?
