How Discipline beats motivation: (S5) S27:E5 Wed · Inspirations for Your Life

0:25
Well, hello there, everyone.
0:27
Welcome to Inspirations for Your Life.
0:29
It is so great to be with everyone
0:30

0:33

0:44
Yeah, definitely hope you guys will enjoy all

0:56
Again, welcome everyone if this is your very
0:58
first time here.
0:59
I want to take the opportunity to say,
1:01
I want to say welcome and I want
1:03
to say thank you.
1:05
If you've been here one time, five times,
1:07
10 times, or maybe even 100 or more
1:09
who have lost track of the count, I
1:11
want to say not only thank you and
1:13
welcome, but I want to say the words
1:14
welcome back.
1:14
I really do appreciate people that are all
1:18

1:22
It is such a pleasure to be with

1:34
Again, for more of my amazing, of course,
1:37
inspiring, I know I'm ready.
1:43
Let's go ahead and kick this off because
1:47
I have another, like I said, another amazing
1:50
show for you guys, and it's just so
1:52
great to be with everyone here.
1:54
You know, we start our topics, our master
1:55
topics, just so you know, they start off
1:57
on basically, they start off on Saturday and
2:00
they finish up on a Friday.
2:03
That's how we work this.
2:04
So this is inspirations for your life.
2:06
And again, it's so great to be with
2:08
all of you guys.
2:09
The master topic for the week, which kicked
2:11
off last Saturday, is how to let go
2:13
and level up.
2:14
It is series five and it is show
2:16
number 27.
2:19
And today's episode, this Wednesday, is how discipline
2:24
beats motivation.
2:26
Series five, show 27, episode number five.
2:29
It's a wonderful Wednesday.
2:30
It is July 1st, if you're watching me
2:33
live.
2:34
And discipline is structure.
2:37
Motivation is noise.
2:40
Now I know in a long time in
2:41
the past, we've always heard that, you know,
2:45
motivation is the key.
2:46
Well, motivation, as we said, fades sometimes, okay?
2:49
So welcome everyone to the ever-popular Inspirations
2:52
for Your Life show.
2:53
I am John C.
2:55
Morley, serial entrepreneur, yes, engineer, marketing specialist, video
3:02
producer, podcast host, coach, keynote speaker, graduate student
3:06
at Montgomery State University, passionate lifelong learner, and
3:11
grateful to now be a published author.
3:14
All right, guys, it is so great to
3:16
be with everyone here.
3:18
Today, I'm focusing on a major truth in
3:22
performance and personal development.
3:23
What is that?
3:24
Motivation is not the system.
3:27
Sorry to tell you that.
3:28
Discipline is.
3:30
And the difference between the two determines long
3:33
-term success.
3:34
I think that's important for everyone here to
3:36
understand.
3:37
The core message is this.
3:39
Motivation is emotional.
3:41
Discipline is structural.
3:42
And I've said you have to have structure
3:43
and consistency to succeed.
3:47
Motivation is inconsistent.
3:49
Discipline is reliable.
3:51
If you depend on motivation, your results will
3:53
unfortunately fluctuate because it works on your mood,
3:57
how you feel.
3:58
If you depend on discipline, your results will
4:00
compound, like interest on money in your bank
4:03
account or CD.
4:05
This, ladies and gentlemen, is where change begins.
4:09
And many people, they miss this because they
4:12
don't understand the whole truth.
4:16
I think that's an important thing, again, that
4:17
a lot of people just don't understand.
4:22
So yeah, it is so great to be
4:25
with everyone here.
4:26
The first point is motivation fades, but discipline
4:29
compounds over time.
4:32
Consistency is built through structure, not emotion.
4:36
And that's something that a lot of people
4:37
miss.
4:40
And yeah, it's pretty interesting.
4:43
So number two, stop asking how you feel
4:46
and start asking what you scheduled.
4:49
Execution follows structure, okay?
4:52
Number three, systems make success repeatable and of
4:58
course scalable.
4:59
Now, random effort does not compound, right?
5:02
It just doesn't.
5:03
We have to have consistency and we have
5:05
to have structure.
5:07
Structure.
5:08
Or guys, we don't get success.
5:11
We do not get success.
5:13
Unfortunately, that's how all this works.
5:17
So yeah, very interesting to understand that.
5:21
Number four, guys, build routines instead of relying
5:24
on inspiration.
5:27
Routines remove decision fatigue, which kind of creeps
5:30
in on us.
5:31
Number five, small habits stack daily, outperform big
5:35
bursts of effort that many people try to
5:37
put forth.
5:39
Consistency will always beat the intensity, right?
5:42
What I tell you, consistency and structure is
5:43
what you need for success.
5:45
Number six, guys, make bad choices harder to
5:48
access in your environment.
5:50
Design influences the behavior and behavior is what's
5:55
gonna affect our success going forward, that's important.
5:58
Number seven, good choices should be easy to
6:01
start, not hard.
6:03
Friction determines the action.
6:06
And friction's actually good, right?
6:08
We've learned that.
6:08
If we didn't have friction, guys, you know
6:10
what we couldn't have?
6:11
Well, we couldn't walk, right?
6:13
We need friction to be able to walk.
6:15
I think that's a very important thing to
6:19
understand what's going on and why that's going
6:26
on, because a lot of people just don't
6:29
seem to understand that.
6:31
That's a very important thing that most people,
6:35
they miss.
6:36
Number eight, design your day around your priorities,
6:40
not distractions.
6:41
Structure creates a unique alignment.
6:44
And the more that we can embrace that,
6:45
the more chances we're gonna see success sooner
6:48
than later.
6:49
Number nine, reset quickly when you slip without
6:53
emotional drama.
6:55
Recovery, speed matters, right?
7:01
I think we always said it's not the
7:04
case of whether you get up immediately, but
7:08
you do keep getting up.
7:10
And the big question is not how many
7:12
times you go down, but how many times
7:13
you get back up.
7:14
I think that's probably one of the most
7:15
important things that I can actually share with
7:17
you.
7:18
So that's a very important thing, guys.
7:22
Number 10, no zero days means progress every
7:27
single day.
7:28
A zero day means you skip, you never
7:30
skip.
7:32
Minimum effort still builds momentum.
7:34
So don't make something so difficult that you're
7:36
gonna be like, oh, I can never do
7:37
that every day.
7:38
Do something small, do something small, but do
7:43
it over and over again.
7:44
If you do it over and over again,
7:46
what's gonna happen is you will get success
7:49
in your life.
7:51
So that's a very important thing to understand
7:56
that that's happening.
7:59
And so, yeah, it's interesting when we think
8:04
about that.
8:05
Number 11, guys, consistency is more powerful than
8:08
the intensity.
8:09
And I've said this time and time again,
8:11
but most people don't get that until they're
8:13
actually involved with it.
8:14
They're like, wait a minute, I'm pouring my
8:16
whole heart out, I'm putting all my energy
8:17
out, but I'm not getting anywhere.
8:20
Do it consistently.
8:22
Don't burn yourself out, right?
8:24
Sustainable effort always will win.
8:26
Even when you think doing more than someone
8:29
else is gonna beat you, it's not doing
8:31
more, it's doing it consistently.
8:33
Because if you do more and you can't
8:35
keep up with it, you're gonna fall out
8:37
and you're gonna stop.
8:38
If you do something small and you're consistent,
8:41
you're probably gonna beat the other person out
8:42
of it because you're gonna be consistent and
8:44
you're gonna take the actions every single day.
8:45
And I think that's the most important thing
8:47
of life.
8:48
Number 12, do the hardest task early to
8:52
build momentum.
8:53
I learned this a long time ago.
8:55
Many times I've wanted to do the smaller
8:56
tasks because I figured it would be easier
8:58
to do the small one.
8:59
But no, when you do the harder task
9:01
first, you actually build stamina, you build momentum,
9:06
and you get that natural dopamine feeling in
9:09
your brain that makes you wanna continue going
9:11
on.
9:11
And I know a lot of us say,
9:13
well, I don't wanna do the hard thing
9:14
first, right?
9:15
I wanna just complain.
9:18
But complaining is not what it's about, okay?
9:20
Complaining is not what it's about.
9:23
And I think that's an important thing that
9:28
many people here just don't realize that we
9:31
have to do the right thing over and
9:33
over again.
9:34
And again, that can be a hard thing,
9:38
right?
9:39
It can be a hard thing for a
9:40
lot of people to understand, but we have
9:45
to keep moving forward with it.
9:47
And if we keep moving forward with it,
9:49
then we'll find that it gets a little
9:50
bit easier.
9:53
And that's an important thing.
9:55
So again, consistency and structure.
9:59
Number 13, guys, if it matters, it belongs
10:01
on your calendar.
10:02
I've said this before.
10:03
If it's not on my calendar, it doesn't
10:05
exist, okay?
10:07
If you want something that matters, you gotta
10:10
make sure it's scheduled and it's on your
10:12
calendar, all right?
10:14
So make sure it gets on your calendar.
10:16
Treat your calendar like money, because your time
10:20
is money.
10:21
Scheduling turns intention into execution.
10:24
So let's stop procrastination and let's keep scheduling,
10:27
all right, smartly that is.
10:29
Number 14, self-trust is built through kept
10:32
promises.
10:35
I know a lot of people say, I'm
10:36
gonna do this, I'm gonna do that, but
10:37
you know what happens?
10:38
They fall short.
10:41
And you might think, well, gee, that's terrible.
10:43
And it is.
10:44
But if people keep doing this over and
10:45
over again, then I know that people don't
10:48
really understand the value of accountability.
10:53
They don't understand what it means to say
10:56
yes to yourself and say yes to others.
10:58
Because if you can't say yes to yourself
11:02
or to others, you're gonna let yourself down
11:05
time and time again.
11:06
You first gotta be able to commit to
11:08
yourself.
11:09
Once you start committing yourself, then you commit
11:11
to others, but don't think you gotta commit
11:13
to others every single day.
11:15
You don't.
11:15
Don't let their tactics try to bulldoze you
11:19
into that because that's something people are good
11:21
at doing.
11:22
Number 15, track your actions, not your emotions.
11:26
I know you wanna track it because you
11:28
don't feel good or you feel bad, let
11:30
the emotions go, okay?
11:32
Data beats feeling.
11:34
I remember going into a courtroom the very
11:36
first time.
11:38
Luckily I won and other times I win,
11:40
I won as well.
11:41
But I have to tell you, it's not
11:43
about the emotion in the courtroom.
11:46
Okay, the statistics, the truth.
11:49
If you start putting in all the emotion
11:51
in there, the judge has to first of
11:54
all figure out, well, how do I balance
11:56
this so that we make sure that this
11:58
is a fair case?
12:00
And that becomes a problem.
12:01
If you just give he or she the
12:03
truth, then life becomes a lot easier for
12:06
you and for them.
12:07
And there's a good shot, you're probably gonna
12:09
win that case, okay?
12:11
But track your actions, not your emotions.
12:14
Data always beats the feelings.
12:16
And this is not just for things you're
12:21
doing today or tomorrow, this is things you're
12:23
doing your entire life.
12:25
So people say, but John, what happens when
12:27
it's a friendship or relationship?
12:28
Well, I get that you wanna do it
12:31
on emotion, I get it.
12:32
But you know what?
12:33
You've gotta use a little bit of logical
12:35
know-how.
12:36
You know why?
12:37
Because sometimes you will decide to do something
12:40
because of your feelings, but it might not
12:42
be the best thing for you.
12:44
So you've gotta make sure that you are
12:46
doing the right thing all the time.
12:50
So yes, your emotions can play a little
12:52
bit in there, but you've gotta make sure
12:54
that you're doing the right thing day in
12:56
and day out.
12:56
And if you are, then that logic and
13:00
emotion, they're gonna come in tandem.
13:02
If you're only making a decision just on
13:04
the emotions for let's say a relationship, well,
13:07
that's a problem.
13:08
You've gotta look at both sides of the
13:09
coin.
13:09
Now in business, we look at basically the
13:14
non-emotions all the time.
13:15
Can there be times that we weigh an
13:17
emotion in there to have a difference?
13:18
Yes, but you can't have it tumble the
13:20
whole thing, right?
13:21
Can you make something a little bit lighter
13:24
or weigh it a little bit less heavy
13:26
because of the emotion, because there's something that
13:28
was valid?
13:29
Yes, but just be careful.
13:30
Don't be a sucker on that because otherwise
13:32
people will be doing it all the time.
13:34
Number 17, discipline is self-respect in action.
13:39
Behavior reflects identity day in and day out.
13:42
If you don't get that, you will unfortunately
13:46
miss a lot of lessons.
13:48
And you'll be coming out very sad because
13:51
you're gonna wonder why things are happening to
13:54
you and not to others.
13:55
It's because you're treating everything with emotion and
13:59
you're responding only because of emotion.
14:03
That's the best way I can explain that
14:04
one to you.
14:05
Number 18, treat goals like non-negotiable commitments
14:10
because that's what they are.
14:12
Seriousness creates structure.
14:13
What'd I say we need?
14:14
We need structure and we need consistency.
14:19
People that are not serious do not create
14:23
structure and they're not consistent.
14:24
They just kind of wing it.
14:26
And they hope that maybe this is the
14:28
one time.
14:29
Could they get lucky?
14:30
Yes, but will they keep getting lucky?
14:33
No.
14:33
No.
14:34
And eventually what'll happen is they'll lose their
14:37
shirt because they're not operating with a system
14:40
that's consistency and structure.
14:42
They just got one win, right?
14:44
They just got lucky.
14:45
That doesn't keep happening.
14:48
Number 19, remove optional behavior from critical habits.
14:56
Sometimes people have all this extra stuff that
14:58
they wanna do, but the truth of the
15:00
matter is it has to come down to
15:03
who you are.
15:05
It has to come down to your own
15:08
personality.
15:09
And other people are gonna do things to
15:12
try to tell you that your way isn't
15:14
right because let's face it, not everybody's fair.
15:19
And so yes, you've gotta be like your
15:21
own judge to kind of judge character.
15:24
And people, why do they do this?
15:25
Well, because they're trying to manipulate you, right?
15:30
So remove optional behavior from critical habits and
15:33
you'll be a lot happier.
15:35
Remember, ladies and gentlemen, eliminate decision points when
15:39
you do this, because when you do that,
15:41
it makes it so you have less things
15:43
to do and the process is gonna be
15:45
a lot smoother.
15:46
Number 20, guys, learn to automate tasks that
15:51
drain mental energy.
15:52
This does not mean put your whole life
15:54
on autopilot.
15:55
This is not what this means.
15:56
This means you can use systems like AI
15:58
to help you automate tasks or scripts, et
16:01
cetera, but you don't run your whole life
16:02
on autopilot.
16:03
Because if you do, you're gonna find your
16:07
life just passing by you so quickly because
16:09
you're not enjoying the moments, right?
16:12
I talk about this in my book, Burnout,
16:14
Drain to Driven.
16:17
Many people feel that if they just keep
16:19
pushing harder, the harder they push, the more
16:23
they're gonna get done.
16:24
Well, it might seem like that at first,
16:26
but then slowly what's gonna happen is they're
16:30
gonna lose, let's say, desire to wanna do
16:35
things anymore.
16:38
And that's the slow attack of burnout.
16:43
When you recognize that, when you recognize that
16:45
you're starting to lose interest in things you
16:47
really love, that's a sign you gotta slow
16:50
down.
16:50
That's a sign you gotta start enjoying the
16:52
moments of life.
16:56
The problem is most people don't ever learn
16:58
this lesson until it's too late.
17:02
By the time they learn the lesson, they've
17:06
injured themselves.
17:06
They've done things that precludes them from making
17:11
it hard to get their dreams.
17:13
Could they still get them?
17:13
Yes, but it'll be a lot harder.
17:16
So automate those tasks that drain mental energy.
17:19
You can do that right now.
17:21
And systems will protect your focus.
17:24
So develop those systems carefully, review them, make
17:28
sure they're working to produce the same results
17:31
that you expect, okay?
17:34
Number 21, learn how to protect your attention
17:41
like it has high value because every second,
17:44
every moment of your time has value.
17:51
Focus is a limited resource.
17:54
We say, oh, I've got all the time.
17:57
Don't let people abuse your time because when
17:59
they abuse your time and you do it
18:01
once, you'll do it again.
18:06
Let me give an example.
18:08
Maybe you take somebody out to lunch, business
18:10
client, and maybe you're not expecting anything, but
18:14
you find that they're draining you, right?
18:18
Or they haven't done what they promised to
18:20
do.
18:20
They're supposed to follow up with you, but
18:21
they don't.
18:22
What does that mean?
18:23
That means that that lunch was a loss,
18:27
right?
18:28
But it also means you better not give
18:30
them any more in the future.
18:32
These are the key things.
18:33
Anyone says, oh, I was being kind.
18:35
There's a difference between being kind and being
18:39
taken advantage of, number 22.
18:43
Do not wait for a reset moment.
18:46
Start immediately.
18:48
Start right now.
18:50
You see, guys, delay reduces momentum, okay?
18:55
The more we delay, the more we procrastinate.
18:59
The more we procrastinate, the more we lose
19:03
interest.
19:04
The more we lose interest, the more things
19:09
don't get done.
19:13
Number 23, guys.
19:15
Your daily actions define your personality.
19:19
So we have to understand something.
19:20
Behavior will build our identity.
19:22
We talked a lot about identity last night.
19:24
So identity is a very, very big part
19:26
of our lives.
19:27
If we don't understand that, then I think
19:29
we gotta go back and really take some
19:32
understanding to what identity is.
19:34
Identity comes from our core values.
19:37
We don't just pull identity out of the
19:39
air.
19:39
But when we resonate with identity, the rest
19:42
of our life just kind of goes into
19:44
a natural flow.
19:46
All right, that's important.
19:48
Number 24.
19:50
Number 24 is a very important one.
19:53
And that is your future is built through
19:56
repetition, not intention.
19:59
Intentions are good, but you have to keep
20:02
repeating.
20:03
You have to keep doing these over and
20:04
over again, right?
20:04
You wanna get in shape, you don't just
20:06
do your exercises one day, right?
20:08
You have to keep doing them over and
20:10
over and over and over again, right?
20:13
We've heard that the mother of skill is
20:16
repetition.
20:18
You probably heard before that repetition is destiny.
20:23
Repetition is not always pleasurable.
20:25
It has some discomfort, but you gotta keep
20:28
doing it.
20:29
Gotta keep doing it until you're like, oh,
20:32
wait a minute, I just have to do
20:33
this.
20:33
It's like, there's no choice, you wanna do
20:36
it, okay?
20:38
That is what discipline is.
20:40
Motivation gets you started, but discipline is what
20:45
keeps you doing it.
20:47
Number 25, guys.
20:49
Each disciplined choice you make trains your brain.
20:53
What happens?
20:55
Neural pathways strengthen through these actions.
20:58
And it makes it part of a very
21:03
powerful system that keep you doing those tasks.
21:08
Number 26, guys.
21:11
Discipline feels hard at first, but it's natural
21:16
later.
21:17
Repetition creates ease.
21:20
But I don't want you to tell you
21:21
that it's gonna happen tomorrow because repetition is
21:24
never easy the very first time you do
21:25
it.
21:26
But the more you do it, the easier
21:29
it becomes.
21:32
Let me give you an example.
21:34
Many of you remember tying your shoes, right?
21:38
So I have a question for everybody.
21:40
Does everybody know, maybe you know the answer
21:41
to this.
21:42
How many times, you guys know the answer?
21:45
How many times does it take to learn
21:52
how to tie your shoelace?
21:58
How many times?
22:01
So most people, it could take a few
22:04
days to a few weeks.
22:07
The process usually requires 10 to 30 practice
22:12
sessions based on people's age, their motor skills.
22:18
Children typically learn between the ages of four
22:21
and six as that's when their hand-eye
22:23
coordination develops, spatial awareness develops.
22:27
It's completely normal for some to grasp the
22:29
motion almost immediately.
22:32
Others may take up to a few months.
22:34
Adults or older children who never fully learn
22:36
can often pick up the skill in just
22:38
a day or two of focused effort.
22:41
So one thing that I never learned, but
22:42
I finally did learn, and I actually wound
22:44
up learning it in, actually wound up learning
22:48
it in college, which was how to make
22:50
a tie, right?
22:52
I had worn clip-on ties even in
22:54
parochial grammar school.
22:56
After fifth grade, you're supposed to wear your
22:58
tie, but I just kept wearing the clip
22:59
-on tie throughout, just never bothered to learn.
23:01
And then when a good friend of mine
23:03
showed me how to do it, it just
23:05
becomes second nature to me.
23:08
The pattern, you could use the thing about
23:09
the rabbit going around the hole, coming up
23:12
and down and whatever you wanna use, but
23:13
now it's just natural to me, right?
23:15
And that pattern, literally what it take, it
23:19
took, I would say this one person spent
23:25
like maybe two or three times.
23:30
The first time they did it with me,
23:32
put my tie on.
23:33
A second time they did it, a third
23:35
time.
23:35
And each time we did it, we did
23:36
it maybe two or three times.
23:37
So I got it after watching and participating
23:39
because they did it while the tie was
23:41
on me.
23:42
So I felt the process.
23:43
It wasn't just like I was doing it
23:44
on somebody else.
23:44
I actually was learning it while they were
23:47
tying it on me, which is a little
23:49
bit different because if you just do it
23:51
not on a person, it's harder, right?
23:55
So discipline does feel hard, but natural flow
24:00
happens later.
24:02
Repetition makes it easier.
24:05
But in the beginning, you're like, there's no
24:08
way I can do this.
24:10
So you need somebody that can give you
24:12
a little nudge.
24:13
Somebody that can tell you, you can do
24:14
this.
24:14
This isn't that hard, right?
24:16
Tying your shoelace might be harder than doing
24:19
a tie, actually.
24:20
I think tying a shoelace might be harder
24:22
than tying a tie, actually.
24:24
Number 27, motivation is a spark, okay?
24:29
It can die.
24:31
Discipline is the engine, right?
24:35
Motivation is that spark you get when you're
24:37
trying to light a candle.
24:40
The discipline is actually the fire that keeps
24:45
the flame going while you ignite the candle.
24:49
See, sparks do not sustain movement, unfortunately, guys.
24:54
They're nice, they might be pretty to watch,
24:56
but they don't cause momentum.
25:01
They come and they go.
25:04
That's how they work.
25:05
Number 28, your calendar reflects your identity direction.
25:11
Direction.
25:12
See, time allocation reveals priorities.
25:16
True story, it was right around COVID time,
25:18
and that's when I started doing digital calendars
25:20
a while back, and I remember just opening
25:23
my whole calendar up.
25:25
I'm just saying anybody can be on the
25:26
calendar, right?
25:27
Didn't realize how a lot of these people,
25:30
not saying bad about them, but they were
25:32
trying to pitch me from these online networking
25:34
events, and I was giving people hours of
25:36
time.
25:38
And before I knew it, my day and
25:39
my week was just getting so filled, I'm
25:40
like, for what?
25:41
All this garbage.
25:43
So now, I still let people schedule time
25:47
with me, but I give them a controlled
25:49
length.
25:50
I might let them have 15 or 30
25:51
minutes.
25:52
People that want 60 minutes, I send that
25:55
out very sparingly, and usually those appointments, most
25:59
of the time, are charged for it, unless
26:00
it's a special meeting that I believe would
26:02
be a mutual benefit.
26:03
So these are important things to understand, guys.
26:05
Very important.
26:06
Number 29, discipline is how you level up
26:09
and stay there.
26:11
Maintenance requires structure, right?
26:14
Requires structure, just like learning how to tie
26:16
the tie.
26:16
Once I learned how to tie the tie,
26:18
I'm pretty much good at it, right?
26:20
I probably tie a tie once a week,
26:22
or maybe once every two weeks.
26:25
Number 30, every repeat action is a vote
26:28
for your future self.
26:30
Identity is built through repetition.
26:32
That's what you need to get.
26:34
So ladies and gentlemen, in closing, here is
26:35
the truth.
26:36
Are you ready for the truth?
26:38
Motivation will not carry your life, I'm sorry
26:40
to say.
26:41
It will start things, but it will not
26:44
finish them.
26:45
Discipline is what builds the consistency, and consistency
26:47
is what builds success.
26:49
So if you wanna level up, which is
26:51
what we're doing this whole week, stop chasing
26:54
motivation.
26:57
Stop.
26:58
Because you're not gonna be happy with the
27:00
results, because motivation will wane, depending on your
27:03
moods, depending on even the weather, right?
27:06
Because that'll affect your mood.
27:08
Start building structure.
27:11
Ladies and gentlemen, I'm John C.
27:13
Morley, serial entrepreneur.
27:15
And this is where discipline becomes your advantage.
27:20
And ladies and gentlemen, this has been Inspirations
27:24
for Your Life, where we talked about how
27:27
discipline beats motivation in our series about something
27:35
very important, which is how to let go
27:37
and level up.
27:39
And I think sometimes when we try to
27:42
let go, we think we've immediately gotta replace
27:46
that with something.
27:48
We don't need to rush.
27:50
It'll be filled in time.
27:52
Have a great one, everyone.
27:53
Be well.
27:53
