ACTIONS ARE THE VOICE OF THE HEART · The Karen Kenney Show

Karen Kenney: Hey you guys, welcome to the Karen Kenney
0:04
show. I'm crossing my fingers and I don't screw this one up. I
0:08
got like, 12 minutes into recording an episode, and I went
0:12
to pause it because I was getting so hot because my little
0:15
mini fireplace was on, and I hit the wrong button and I deleted I
0:19
just screwed the whole thing of it was so funny, but I'm back
0:22
and we're back and we're gonna dive into this episode. I don't
0:25
know what it's gonna be called, but I can tell you this kind of
0:29
the hot beat of this episode, right? Is about this, that our
0:32
actions are the voice of our heart. Actions are the voice of
0:38
the heart. And what that really means is that our actions reveal
0:42
our true feelings, our intentions way more than our
0:47
words, because we've all been sweet talked by somebody,
0:50
haven't we? Haven't we? You know, there's a lot of people
0:53
out there that talk a good game. They They smile to your face
0:57
while they stab you in the back. It, you know, and I use, I can
1:04
appreciate a sweet talker, but these days, at this age, at 57
1:09
I'm way more interested and people like who they are being,
1:13
what they're doing right, rather than, rather than I look at, I
1:17
love a good orator. I love somebody who can speak, right?
1:21
Who can speak? But you got to be able to back that shit up with
1:25
some true blue, real deal. Holyfield, you know, actions.
1:30
And you know how these shows kind of come together. For those
1:33
of you who might be new to the show, welcome, if you are, is I
1:37
always just kind of let, I just kind of let my spiritual team, I
1:41
just kind of let my inner teacher and whatever is rising
1:45
up in the culture or around me to inspire me. I don't really
1:49
plan these like a lot of things. I don't do a ton of planning.
1:53
You know, when it comes to this show, I like to just see what
1:56
what is rising up in my consciousness, what's catching
1:58
my curiosity. And so I had kind of decided that I wanted to do
2:02
an episode on this. And then, lo and behold, my spiritual team.
2:05
They're so friggin funny, S, T, o, t, j, so I decided, all
2:08
right, I want to do, I want to do a thing on actions of the
2:11
voice of the hot and really get down to the nitty gritty about
2:14
what's in our hats and who we really are, right? And we just
2:17
happened to watch a show last night, a movie, and it had a
2:20
bunch of my favorite actors in it, Matt Damon, Ben Affleck,
2:23
Kyle Chandler, a bunch of fantastic actors and actresses,
2:26
right? And the story just happens to be around. The basis
2:30
of the story is that there's these cops, and they find a rip,
2:34
which is basically they find all of this, like cash just stowed
2:38
away in this house. And it's fascinating, because you get to
2:41
watch the character of these people. Get to watch these
2:44
characters, portray their character, and see what are they
2:47
going to do? Right? They could just take some of this money.
2:51
They could steal some of this money. They could report it all,
2:53
like, whatever. And you see, feel like this kind of dramatic
2:56
tensions around like, what are the actions of these people
3:00
going to be like, what's the voice of their hat? You know
3:03
what I mean? I thought it was fantastic. So I encourage you to
3:06
watch it. Some really, really, really great moments in that, in
3:09
that film. And so when I was thinking about doing this
3:13
podcast, I had been kind of like gathering these little moments
3:16
and stories from my own life. So I'm going to be doing some
3:19
storytelling today, which I'm really excited about. I got
3:21
like, three stories I'm going to share. Going to share with you.
3:24
And you know, my purpose in doing in sharing stories is that
3:27
stories often reveal, like, yeah, personal stories. But my
3:32
personal stories are the ones that I choose to tell. It's
3:35
because they're revealing some sort of universal spiritual
3:38
principle that applies to all of us. And that's just the way that
3:41
I teach, is through storytelling. And my hope with
3:44
this podcast, again, if you're new here, welcome is always to
3:48
either educate, to elevate, to enlighten, to entertain, to move
3:53
people emotionally right that they have some sort of emotional
3:56
connection or feeling, or whatever my job is never, of
4:00
course, to waste your fucking time. So hopefully, hopefully
4:05
I'm not doing that today. All right, let's just dive in. So
4:08
this idea that actions are the voice of the heart, like, what
4:11
does that mean? So I kind of believe this, in our heart of
4:14
hearts, who we truly are when we come through. I always say
4:18
factory installed is love, right? I believe that who we are
4:22
is love. I believe that kindness is also who we are. So love is
4:25
who we are. Kindness is who we are that comes in baseline, like
4:29
installed, and we have so many opportunities in our lifetime to
4:35
basically extend that love, to extend that kindness to be who
4:41
we actually are. Like, I think that's the whole gig, right? I
4:45
think the voice of our heart is loving, kindness, compassion and
4:49
that, then our actions get to back those things up. A lot of
4:53
people can talk a good game, like, there's a lot of great
4:56
orators out there. Like I said, we've all been sweet talked a
4:58
little bit by some. Somebody, but I'm way more interested at
5:02
this age, right? The age that I am now. I was like, Yeah, that's
5:05
great. I love somebody who can really speak powerful speakers,
5:08
but if what you are saying is not in alignment with what
5:11
you're doing, we get that cognitive dissonance. Like, I'm
5:14
not a fan. You know what I mean? And we've all done it at
5:16
different points in our life, right? None of us are perfect.
5:19
We've all done it. I'm just saying My goal as I continue to
5:23
age, as I continue to grow, as I continue to become more fully
5:27
and true, truly myself, is to really have my actions speak
5:32
right for the content of my heart, for the content of my
5:35
character. And so if we're acting from the heart right,
5:41
what does that look like? So I'm like, let me give you some
5:43
examples of some things that I experienced throughout my
5:47
throughout this past like month or so. Okay, so I drive a car.
5:52
It's like, 16 years old, so it's not that big of a deal, right?
5:55
So it's like, it's, it's like, and this particular car, it's
6:00
for whatever reason. When it came off the assembly line,
6:03
something happened, like with the paint. So many, many, many,
6:07
many years into it, right? They sent out a recall saying, like,
6:10
hey, this these particular colors. And of course, it was
6:12
like the pearl white and the whites, you know, the white
6:15
cars, or whatever meaning, the one that I had, has a problem
6:19
with, sometimes with temperature fluctuations like whatever. So,
6:23
you know, got repainted in certain areas as it was flaking
6:26
blah, blah, blah. The reason why I'm telling you all this is that
6:28
I don't get too hung up, right? Let me get this. Let me say
6:32
this. I'm a person who does love beautiful things. I like nice
6:35
things, but I also want things to be practical, and cars just
6:39
like my real thing. Some people love them. Obsess over them, wax
6:43
them. I keep my car clean. I try to, you know, do a good job on
6:47
it, take good care of it, but it's not like cars really aren't
6:50
my thing. But there's a reason why I'm telling you all this. So
6:52
one day I'm at the store, I come out of the store, and as I'm
6:56
walking towards my car, and it's a wicked windy day out, I see
6:59
this little piece of paper, like flapping on my windshield, and
7:03
I'm like, oh, maybe a yoga student, somebody
7:06
I know, like, recognized my car, left me a note or whatever. And
7:09
I pick up the note, and I actually have it right here. I
7:12
still have I was saving it so I can use it for the show at some
7:14
point. Okay, I'm gonna show it to you. It's like this, I'm
7:17
gonna wait, I'm gonna hide the phone number, but it's just like
7:21
a torn piece. It's like a rectangular piece of paper. When
7:24
she tore it out of her little notebook, it like totally ripped
7:26
it, almost ripped her name off of it. But this is what the note
7:29
says. It says the wind took my car door and hit your car. Sad,
7:35
sad little face. So sorry, exclamation point, and then her
7:39
name and her phone number. And I look at my I didn't know what to
7:43
expect, so I look at my car, and I see that my car is white,
7:48
right? And I see that there's like, like, red, like, scratch
7:52
marks now, not deep, not whatever, but like, when I try
7:54
to, like, just wipe it off with my finger, I'm like, Oh, that's
7:57
not coming off. I have to buff this or do something with it,
7:59
right? No big dent or anything, just a tiny little bit of
8:03
damage. And I stood there, and it was freezing on, it was
8:06
windy, and I'm looking at this thing, and I just thought, wow.
8:11
Like, how cool is that, that Molly did the right thing, like
8:17
the voice of her hat was because, look, I was in the
8:21
store, I would have come out. I never would have known who it
8:23
was. I wasn't looking at the car park next to me. I was on a
8:26
mission. I had shit to get groceries, to get whatever it
8:29
was, and I like, just, I'm just going in, and I came out. And I
8:32
was so moved. I was so impressed that she could have just tucked
8:37
tail, snuck away, Lil thief in the night or whatever, right? I
8:41
never would have known. I never would have known. I just would
8:43
have come out. I would have been like, oh, somebody dinged my
8:46
car, great. And I understand, like, they don't know when I'm
8:50
going to come out of the store. Maybe she had places to be.
8:52
She's not going to stand around and wait for me. She did the
8:54
right thing, and she left me this note. And it really was
8:57
like the Grinch. It was like my hat grew three sizes that day
8:59
because I just thought, Oh my God. And I'm like, You know
9:02
what, Molly, I'm going to give you a call so I see the number I
9:07
get in my car, you know? And I called her up, and she's like,
9:11
hello. And I said, Hey, Molly, you know dada. And she's like,
9:14
Oh my god, I'm so sorry. I was like, no, no, no, don't worry
9:17
about it. My car's like, you know my cousin, that's I was
9:19
like, 15 and, like, my car is 15 years old, it's no big deal. So
9:23
I just really want to say thank you, like, I want to commend you
9:26
for actually leaving me a note and letting me know and leaving
9:29
me a number like that was a really cool thing. And I said,
9:32
don't worry. She was so apologetic. And I was like,
9:35
Don't worry about it. And I was like, Molly, whoever you I don't
9:38
know your last name. You know you're a real one. I Your
9:42
parents raised your right, or you raised yourself right, or
9:45
whoever, whoever planted those seeds of of you know your your
9:49
character, right? She revealed her character, her actions were
9:54
the voice of her heart. And I thought that that's a person
9:57
you'd probably want to be friends with. You know what I
9:59
mean? So that's Story number one. And maybe you've done
10:03
something like this before. There was an like again, I keep
10:06
thinking about the movie The Rip right? There's an opportunity
10:09
for you to do something, to do the right thing, or to do the
10:12
wrong thing. And you know, Ryan Holiday just wrote a book called
10:17
right thing right now. And that's the that's the work right
10:21
is to the best of your ability to do the right thing right now
10:25
and let your voice speak, let your actions speak. What, what
10:30
the content of your character is. That's number one, okay?
10:33
Number two, if you listen to last week's number story, number
10:37
two, if you listen to last week episode, you heard that I had
10:40
kind of a tough week, a childhood my childhood
10:43
sweetheart, childhood friend died, and also we had to say
10:48
goodbye to one of my 15 year old pups. Scoots my goots. So it
10:52
was, like, tough, okay, and I've talked about, maybe I've talked
10:55
about it before, I don't know, but I certainly talked about it.
10:58
I know online, because one day I posted a picture of me in a
11:00
dress, and people lost their minds, and I was like, guys for
11:02
like, Guys, relax. I was like, I said, I have one dress. I wear
11:06
this dress to funerals. I wear this dress to weddings,
11:09
whatever. It's the one thing I you know, that I have. And
11:11
they're like, you clean up, nice, whatever. People were
11:13
really, really sweet. It was a picture in fair. It was a
11:16
picture of me and my sweetie, and we were both dressed up nice
11:18
for my nephew's wedding or whatever. And there was a big
11:21
hullabaloo about seeing, seeing me in like a dress. I thought it
11:25
was funny. So I'm like, Okay, there's the wake, and there's
11:28
the funeral. And I'm like, it's, you know, it's January. I
11:33
already knew my friend was a retired police officer and
11:38
Detective, and beloved, just beloved in the community. And I
11:43
knew it was going to be at, you know, because the police always
11:45
come in first, and they go through the line, and then I
11:47
just knew it was going to be a massively long line. And I'm
11:50
like, do I really want to be standing outside in a dress? And
11:53
the answer was no. And I'm like, I don't know what I'm going to
11:56
like do, or what I'm going to wear. I'm like, I got to go get
11:59
some some pants, you know? I gotta go to the store and get
12:02
some pants. I gotta figure something out. So I go to the
12:05
store, and I'm like, walking around, and I'm like, so I found
12:09
all these different kinds of pants. And, you know, I'm going
12:12
in the dressing room and, you know, I'm like, I'm still, like,
12:14
really sad, like, all of this is fresh, between scoot and my
12:18
friend and, you know, my friend's mom, and just like, all
12:21
of it, and the world is just heavy, you know, Renee good had
12:23
just been murdered. There's just, like, all these things,
12:25
like, going on. And I'm like, the last thing that I know how
12:28
to do is, like, especially when I'm in that, I'm like, I don't
12:31
know fashion like that. You know, my my fashion is jeans,
12:35
jeans and chucks, right jeans and sneakers and freaking
12:39
hoodies and sweatshirts, like, That's my style. I don't dress
12:43
fancy, you know what I mean. And so I'm in the I'm in the room,
12:47
I'm in the changing room that, you know
12:50
I'm saying, Well, you go and you try on the clothes, and I go in,
12:53
and there's nobody like, manning the place. You just kind of
12:56
like, walk in and I go in, and I after, like, trying on, like,
13:00
eight pairs of pants and a sweater and this and this and
13:02
this. I kind of get it narrowed down to, like, these two pairs
13:05
of pants. And I really just need an opinion. First of all, I'm
13:09
like, I don't even know what kind of shoes I'm gonna wear
13:11
with these. Like, you know, I'm vegan, so I don't wear leather
13:14
shoes. And I'm like, what I don't know, do I wear a flat?
13:17
Like, I don't want to wear flat. I'm like, What am I? You can
13:19
just hear it right even in my voice right now. So come out of
13:23
the lock. I come out of the changing room to use to look in
13:26
the mirror, another mirror, and I come out like a couple of
13:30
times, because I'm trying on different sizes and stuff. And
13:32
every time I come out, there's nobody else with me, and then I
13:36
narrow it down to these two pairs of pants, and all I'm
13:38
thinking in my head is it would just be so nice if I had a
13:42
second opinion, who could, like, help me. I'm like, and in my
13:45
head, I'm like, what I really need right now is, like, a girly
13:47
girl, like, I really need somebody who knows how to do all
13:50
the clothes and fashion stuff, you know. And I hear somebody
13:54
else come into the to the dressing room, and I'm, like,
13:58
standing in my room, like, talking to myself, like, what I
14:01
don't know, and then I step out to use the mirror at the, you
14:05
know, the out, that mirror in the out, and kind of like the
14:07
hallway inside the dressing room. And this young woman is,
14:11
like, stepping out. Now, I size her up right away. I look at
14:15
her, I'm like, her hair is done, you know, she has like, long,
14:18
like, auburn hair, brunette hair, beautiful. And it's like,
14:21
I don't know if it's naturally wavy. Is she curled? I don't
14:24
know what she did, but she was looking good, right? She her
14:27
makeup was done. She was stylish, she was neat. I was
14:30
like, Okay, this is a person that knows what they're talking
14:32
about. So I just said to her, excuse me. I go, can you just,
14:37
can you just tell me if you think these pants are too small
14:40
or too big, or whatever, and she looks at them, and she goes,
14:45
Well, she tilts her head, you know, so sweet. She's like,
14:47
well, what are you wearing them for? And I said, a funeral. Now,
14:51
this is the first pair of pants, and I could just tell, because
14:55
I'm hyper sensitive and hyper aware of people's body language
14:59
and what their faces. Doing what their eyes are doing, whatever.
15:01
And I see the slightest, like, tilt of her head right, which
15:04
tells me it's like, Hmm, maybe these pants I should be wearing
15:08
to a funeral, they looked a little too casual. They were
15:11
black, they were flowy, they were fine. And she's like, hmm.
15:15
And I said, Do you think these are too casual, like, too casual
15:18
for a funeral? And she's like, well, maybe I go, Well, what if
15:23
I tried them on? And I said, because here's the thing, these
15:26
are the mediums, the small pants. If I put on the small
15:29
pants like the you can kind of see the pockets through them. I
15:33
said, I know that I'm going to probably be standing for a long
15:36
time. I just want something comfortable, but that, you know,
15:40
looks respectable. And she's like, hmm. I said, Well, can I
15:44
try on the other side? Do you have a second? She was so sweet.
15:47
She's like, yes, of course. So I pop in, boom, boom, change my
15:50
pants, come back out, and she's like, Oh, I see what you mean
15:53
about the pockets. And I said, Okay, I have one more pair. Can
15:57
I just pop those on and you can tell me what you think? And
15:59
she's like, yes. And she's standing there, she's, like,
16:02
holding these clothes. She's being so kind to me and and
16:07
she'll she, you know, and I come back out and I have on the third
16:11
pair, the second pair, but like, the third ones that she's
16:13
looking at, she goes, Okay, these are the ones. She's like,
16:17
do you see how there's a pleat in the front? And I'm like, Yes,
16:21
she's like, this makes it seem more, you know, like funeral
16:25
worthy. And she's like, and I just want to say, I'm so sorry
16:27
you're going through this, you guys. She was a peach. She was a
16:31
total sweet hat. And so she breaks down, like the pleat and
16:35
data. And then she says to me, Well, what are you what shoes
16:37
are you going to wear with these? And I literally grabbed
16:41
my head, and I was like, Fuck if I know, I go, Look, I don't
16:44
dress up like, I don't have like, like, I don't know. She's
16:48
like, Okay, you could either do like a flat or you could do like
16:52
a chunky boot. And she literally just starts breaking it down for
16:57
me. And I'm just standing there, and all I'm thinking is like, S,
17:00
T, o, t, J, spiritual team on the job, they sent me a little
17:04
dressing room angel to help me figure this out, because my
17:08
brain is not functioning, and I don't know girly stuff very
17:11
well, you know? And I was like, okay, she breaks it all down for
17:16
me. And I just, at the end, I say, I just have to say, thank
17:20
you so much for your kindness. Thank you so much for taking the
17:23
time to, like, spend with me and help me. You really didn't have
17:27
to do it, and it's not lost on me that you've done it, and I
17:30
just appreciate it so much. And she's like, Oh my God, of
17:33
course. I go, you like, you just, like, know this fashion
17:37
stuff, like, like, I'm amazed right now. And she looks at me
17:40
and she says, Oh, well, that's because I'm a photographer. And
17:44
I said, what she's like, Yeah, I'm a photographer. I go, what
17:46
kind of photographer? She's like, Well, I do weddings, but I
17:50
also do branding. And I was like, Oh my God. And I'm like,
17:53
Do I know you? So she pulls out her card. It's like, a dot card,
17:58
which means, like, she can just tap it to my phone, and it pulls
18:01
up, like all of her links, her email, her website, or like her
18:04
socials, like whatever. She pulls it up, and I immediately
18:07
see that we have several people in common, so we make this
18:11
connection. And I said, I'm going to stop following you on
18:15
Instagram. And she's like, Great, then I'll know who like.
18:17
I'll see your name and blah, blah, blah, and we have this
18:19
whole exchange. And I was like, she did not have to do that.
18:24
That was an action. Is the voice of the hot moment, if I've ever
18:28
seen one. She was so incredibly kind. And I really needed that
18:33
help. And I ended up, like, finding these chunky vegan
18:37
boots. Right then, I was like, oh my god, this is perfect.
18:41
Bing, bang, boom. I was in and out, and it just worked out
18:44
fantastic. And I was so grateful. This is the thing that
18:48
we don't realize, you guys, you know that old saying, which is
18:51
like, Be kind, be kind, be kind. Everybody you meet is fighting
18:54
some sort of a battle. So often we don't know what people are
18:58
going through. And a tiny bit of kindness, man, does it go a long
19:02
way, and that was so incredible. And then the last one, this is a
19:07
tiny little story, and it's not, I'm not tooting my own horn, it
19:10
just is a reflection piece that that I thought this was also
19:13
worth mentioning. So when I got to the funeral, I was standing
19:18
in line with a bunch of my childhood friends from high
19:22
school. It was like four guys that I grew up with, and when I
19:27
was standing next to them, all of a sudden, I like, I just
19:31
pulled out I had some Tic Tacs in my pocket, and I pulled out
19:35
the tic tacs and I offered them to my friend gut. And I was
19:38
like, gut, you want a tic tac and he's like, Yeah. He goes,
19:43
you trying to tell me something? It's like, No, I go. I just
19:49
never, I just, I said, anytime I pull out Tic Tacs, I offer,
19:52
always offer them. My thing with tiktoks Tic Tacs is you always
19:55
have to take two, not just one. So I give him two Tic Tacs, and
19:58
he looks at me, and he's like. Like, he's like, he's like,
20:01
okay. He's like, Hey, you telling me so? And I go, No, I
20:04
go. And I go, snacks are always better when they're shared. And
20:08
that's what I said to him. I go, it's just that snacks are always
20:11
better when they're shared. And he looked me right in the face,
20:13
and he goes, Yeah. He goes, I remember study hall because we
20:17
went to Lawrence high together, right? We were in study hall
20:20
together, and in study hall, anytime I had snacks, because he
20:23
always sat close to me, behind me, next to me, whatever I was
20:26
always sharing my snacks with gut. And it was just this
20:30
moment, and it was so nice, because you forget right, like
20:34
you forget sometimes, like how you were back then, and you can
20:37
always hope, like, was I kind? Was I nice? Look, I didn't
20:41
always get it right, that is for fucking sure, but it was nice to
20:45
have a little glimpse of that, that younger version of me, that
20:49
kid who shared her snacks. And I was like, Oh, I was really happy
20:52
that I that I was, I was nice to you. Nice to you, at least you
20:57
know what I'm saying. So that was really fantastic. And the
21:00
thing is, you guys, is that we have so many opportunities the
21:04
these three stories, these these three, yeah, this is say these
21:08
two stories, right? The first one with Molly and the second
21:11
one with Christina. Oh, and that woman's name, PS, her name is
21:14
Christina Olson. Look her up. It's like Christina Olson
21:17
studio. She's a Boston and New Hampshire wedding photographer
21:21
and branding photographer, and she was fantastic. And you spell
21:24
Christina, k, i, y, s t, I N, A Olson, O, L, S, E, M, she's
21:31
great. So go, go, hit her up, tell her you heard about her on
21:34
my podcast. You know, people could have done any other number
21:38
of things. She could have just told me she was too busy. Molly
21:41
could have just, you know, not left a note and driven away, and
21:43
I would have found my Kyle with a little ding on it, you know.
21:46
But it's just a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful thing when
21:49
people throughout all the day, all the months, all the years of
21:53
our lives, when, when, when we have opportunities come up
21:56
again. Right Thing, right now. And this is my encouragement. I
22:00
really, really, really want you to listen to the voice of your
22:03
heart. Listen to that in a teacher. Listen to the kindness
22:07
that you are, listen to the love that you are when you listen to
22:10
that voice. It doesn't mean that everything is going to be easy.
22:17
A lot of times doing the right thing, doing the kind thing
22:21
might not be the easiest thing or the most popular thing, but
22:26
we all have a voice of the heart, and when we're listening
22:30
to that inner voice, when we're listening to that in a teacher,
22:33
it's important that we do this whenever we are trying to like,
22:37
when we have a choice to make, When we're doing decision making
22:41
when we find ourselves in, you know, in a situation
22:49
that we need to evaluate and say, like, Okay, what's the next
22:52
right, smallest step? Like, what's the next right? Smallest
22:56
step? And, you know, I always say, like, I would rather you be
22:59
true, true blue than popular. I would rather you be willing to
23:04
be unpopular by doing the right thing, by answering the call of
23:07
your hat and showing the content of your character. And it won't
23:12
always be easy, but it's a lot easier to live with yourself.
23:18
You know when, when people have regrets? I think it takes a
23:21
toll, right? It takes a toll, and especially if they there's
23:25
no tools for learning how to do self forgiveness, right? Because
23:29
we're all going to screw up so and it's really easy to think,
23:32
oh, the voice of the hat. I'm not saying abandon all critical
23:35
thinking, right? We want to listen to the voice of the hat
23:38
and the voice of reason like we want to be smart about things,
23:41
right? But being kind doesn't cost us anything. I did a whole
23:45
podcast about this a long time ago, being kind doesn't cost us
23:49
anything. And being kind, right is, it is a natural extension of
23:53
the truth of who we are. And one of my teachers, Ken Wapnick, he
23:56
said it beautifully. You know, he's A Course in Miracles,
23:59
teacher, he's dead. He's no longer with us, but he always
24:02
used to say, you know, kindness is who you are. And he says, so
24:07
we don't have to work we don't have to work at being kind. We
24:10
don't have to be like, try to be kind. Like, everybody's like, I
24:13
gotta try to be kind and get to try to be loving. I'm like, no
24:16
loving, loving, being loving. Like, love and kindness is who
24:19
you are. The work Ken would say, is to be vigilant for when you
24:24
are unkind. That's the work, is to catch yourself going down
24:29
like, you know, shit bag road when you're starting to make
24:32
that, that questionable choice, where you're you're, the world
24:35
is tempting you, right? The world is tempting you. And
24:38
whether it's with money or sex or fame, or for whatever the
24:42
thing is, whatever it's tempting you with you like we have to be
24:45
vigilant for when there's that temptation to be unkind, because
24:50
the world is always going to try to pull you off character with
24:54
all kinds of office and whatever. And it's really,
24:58
really important that you. Listen to the voice of your
25:01
heart and to let your actions reflect that. I think that's all
25:07
I have to say about it for now. I mean, I could talk about this
25:10
like Forever, forever, forever, but I'm going to wrap it up with
25:13
that. Okay, so wherever you go, may you and your actions be a
25:24
blessing wherever you go. May you leave yourself and the
25:29
people and the place and the animals better than how you
25:33
found them. Bye.
