  I
• 0:00
  found
• 0:00
  myself
• 0:00
  constantly
• 0:01
  pushing
• 0:02
  and
• 0:02
  always
• 0:02
  feeling
• 0:02
  like
• 0:03
  nothing
• 0:03
  was
• 0:03
  ever
• 0:03
  enough.
• 0:04
  My
• 0:04
  efforts
• 0:05
  were
• 0:05
  not
• 0:05
  enough.
• 0:06
  My
• 0:06
  results
• 0:06
  were
• 0:06
  not
• 0:07
  enough.
• 0:07
  My
• 0:07
  income
• 0:08
  was
• 0:08
  not
• 0:08
  enough.
• 0:09
  And

  by

  the
• 0:09
  end
• 0:09
  of
• 0:09
  20,
• 0:10
  24,
• 0:10
  I
• 0:10
  felt
• 0:11
  honestly
• 0:11
  exhausted.
• 0:12
  And
• 0:12
  I
• 0:12
  thought
• 0:12
  this
• 0:13
  is
• 0:13
  not
• 0:13

  and
• 0:40
  welcome
• 0:40
  back

  to
• 0:41
  burning
• 0:41
  brightly,
• 0:41
  who
• 0:42
  is
• 0:42
  excited
• 0:42
  for
• 0:42
  a
• 0:43
  new
• 0:43
  year.
• 0:43
  Are
• 0:43
  you
• 0:44
  guys
• 0:44
  as
• 0:44
  big
• 0:44
  a
• 0:44
  nerd
• 0:44
  as
• 0:45
  I
• 0:45
  am
• 0:45
  that
• 0:45
  the
• 0:45
  new
• 0:45
  year
• 0:46
  and
• 0:46
  fresh
• 0:46
  start
• 0:46
  just
• 0:47
  makes
• 0:47
  you
• 0:47
  so
• 0:48
  giddy
• 0:48
  with
• 0:48
  excitement
• 0:49
  and.
• 0:50
  I
• 0:50
  hope
• 0:51
  for
• 0:51
  the
• 0:51
  future
• 0:52
  and
• 0:52
  just.
• 0:53
  A
• 0:53
  wonderful
• 0:54
  feeling
• 0:54
  of
• 0:54
  looking
• 0:55
  forward
• 0:56
  at
• 0:56
  what
• 0:56
  is
• 0:56
  coming
• 0:57
  up
• 0:57
  ahead.
• 0:57
  Maybe
• 0:57
  I
• 0:57
  just
• 0:57
  have
• 0:58
  a
• 0:58
  really
• 0:58
  positive
• 0:58
  outlook
• 0:59
  in
• 0:59
  January,
• 0:59
  and
• 0:59
  I
• 0:59
  think
• 0:59
  everything
• 1:00
  is
• 1:00
  going
• 1:00
  to
• 1:00
  go
• 1:01
  fantastic
• 1:02
  this
• 1:02
  year.
• 1:02
  You
• 1:02
  can't
• 1:03
  yet
• 1:03
  see
• 1:03
  a
• 1:03
  lot
• 1:03
  of
• 1:04
  the
• 1:04
  bad
• 1:04
  stuff
• 1:05
  that's
• 1:05
  going
• 1:05
  to
• 1:05
  come.
• 1:05
  And
• 1:05
  so
• 1:06
  I
• 1:06
  just
• 1:06
  find
• 1:06
  myself
• 1:07
  always
• 1:07
  so
• 1:07
  excited
• 1:08
  in
• 1:08
  January,
• 1:08
  ready
• 1:09
  to
• 1:09
  hit
• 1:09
  the
• 1:09
  ground
• 1:10
  running.
• 1:11
  But
• 1:11
  this
• 1:11
  year
• 1:11
  is
• 1:11
  looking
• 1:12
  a
• 1:12
  little
• 1:12
  bit
• 1:12
  differently
• 1:12
  for
• 1:12
  me.
• 1:13
  And
• 1:13
  so
• 1:13
  I
• 1:13
  wanted
• 1:13
  to
• 1:13
  do
• 1:13
  a
• 1:13
  podcast
• 1:14
  about
• 1:14
  it
• 1:15
  because
• 1:15
  I
• 1:15
  feel
• 1:15
  like
• 1:15
  it
• 1:16
  might
• 1:16
  resonate
• 1:16
  with
• 1:16
  some
• 1:16
  of
• 1:17
  you.
• 1:17
  Maybe
• 1:18
  you're
• 1:19
  feeling
• 1:19
  the
• 1:19
  same
• 1:19
  as
• 1:19
  me.
• 1:19
  Maybe
• 1:20
  you're
• 1:20
  feeling
• 1:20
  the
• 1:20
  opposite.
• 1:21
  But
• 1:22
  I
• 1:22
  think
• 1:22
  that
• 1:22
  January
• 1:23
  can
• 1:23
  be
• 1:23
  a
• 1:23
  wonderful
• 1:24
  time
• 1:24
  to
• 1:24
  lean
• 1:24
  into
• 1:26
  what
• 1:26
  God
• 1:26
  is
• 1:26
  trying
• 1:27
  to
• 1:27
  tell
• 1:27
  us
• 1:27
  about
• 1:27
  our
• 1:27
  lives
• 1:28
  and
• 1:28
  our
• 1:28
  businesses,
• 1:29
  what
• 1:29
  our
• 1:29
  intuition
• 1:30
  is
• 1:30
  trying
• 1:30
  to
• 1:30
  tell
• 1:30
  us
• 1:31
  what
• 1:31
  our
• 1:31
  past
• 1:32
  results
• 1:32
  are
• 1:32
  trying
• 1:32
  to
• 1:32
  tell
• 1:33
  us.
• 1:33
  And
• 1:33
  instead
• 1:34
  of
• 1:34
  continuing
• 1:34
  to
• 1:34
  do
• 1:34
  things
• 1:35
  exactly
• 1:35
  the
• 1:35
  same.
• 1:36
  Instead,
• 1:36
  reflecting
• 1:37
  a
• 1:37
  little
• 1:37
  bit
• 1:38
  more
• 1:38
  deeply
• 1:39
  on
• 1:39
  what
• 1:39
  we
• 1:39
  really
• 1:40
  are
• 1:40
  trying
• 1:40
  to
• 1:40
  build
• 1:41
  here.
• 1:41
  So
• 1:41
  that's
• 1:41
  what
• 1:41
  this
• 1:41
  episode
• 1:42
  is
• 1:42
  about.
• 1:43
  And
• 1:43
  first
• 1:44
  I
• 1:44
  wanted
• 1:44
  to
• 1:44
  start
• 1:44
  off
• 1:44
  by
• 1:44
  saying
• 1:45
  that
• 1:45
  reflecting
• 1:46
  on
• 1:46
  the
• 1:46
  year
• 1:46
  previous
• 1:47
  is
• 1:47
  one
• 1:47
  of
• 1:48
  my
• 1:48
  favorite
• 1:48
  things
• 1:48
  to
• 1:48
  do,
• 1:48
  and
• 1:48
  I
• 1:48
  think
• 1:49
  it's
• 1:49
  really,
• 1:49
  really
• 1:49
  critical.
• 1:50
  I
• 1:50
  did
• 1:50
  two
• 1:50
  things
• 1:51
  this
• 1:51
  year.
• 1:51
  That
• 1:51
  helped
• 1:51
  me
• 1:51
  a
• 1:51
  lot.
• 1:52
  when
• 1:52
  it
• 1:52
  came
• 1:52
  time
• 1:53
  to
• 1:53
  reflect
• 1:53
  on
• 1:53
  the
• 1:53
  previous
• 1:53
  year.
• 1:54
  The
• 1:54
  first
• 1:54
  thing
• 1:55
  I
• 1:55
  did
• 1:55
  was
• 1:55
  last
• 1:55
  year,
• 1:56
  I
• 1:56
  bought
• 1:57
  a
• 1:57
  wall
• 1:57
  calendar
• 1:58
  that
• 1:58
  shows
• 1:58
  my
• 1:58
  entire
• 1:59
  year.
• 2:00
  It's
• 2:00
  very
• 2:00
  long.
• 2:01
  It's
• 2:01
  like
• 2:01
  three
• 2:01
  feet
• 2:01
  long
• 2:01
  and
• 2:01
  I
• 2:02
  hang
• 2:02
  it
• 2:02
  on
• 2:02
  the
• 2:02
  wall
• 2:02
  next
• 2:02
  to
• 2:02
  my
• 2:03
  desk.
• 2:03
  And
• 2:04
  I
• 2:04
  just
• 2:04
  penciled
• 2:04
  in
• 2:05
  like
• 2:05
  big
• 2:05
  trips
• 2:05
  and
• 2:06
  fun
• 2:06
  adventures
• 2:06
  and
• 2:06
  things
• 2:07
  that
• 2:07
  I
• 2:07
  had
• 2:07
  planned
• 2:07
  as
• 2:08
  they
• 2:08
  came
• 2:08
  up.
• 2:08
  And
• 2:09
  then
• 2:09
  I
• 2:09
  was
• 2:09
  able
• 2:09
  to
• 2:09
  look
• 2:10
  back
• 2:10
  over
• 2:10
  my
• 2:10
  year
• 2:11
  and
• 2:11
  remember
• 2:12
  some
• 2:12
  of
• 2:12
  the
• 2:12
  fun
• 2:12
  things
• 2:13
  that
• 2:13
  I
• 2:13
  had
• 2:13
  done.
• 2:13
  Like
• 2:14
  I
• 2:14
  hiked
• 2:14
  the
• 2:14
  grand
• 2:15
  canyon
• 2:15
  with
• 2:15
  friends
• 2:15
  last
• 2:16
  year
• 2:16
  and
• 2:17
  we
• 2:17
  did
• 2:17
  a
• 2:17
  couple
• 2:17
  of
• 2:18
  fun
• 2:18
  trips.
• 2:19
  My
• 2:19
  husband
• 2:19
  and
• 2:19
  I,
• 2:20
  and
• 2:20
  a
• 2:20
  couple
• 2:20
  with
• 2:21
  my
• 2:21
  kids.
• 2:21
  So
• 2:22
  that
• 2:22
  for
• 2:22
  me
• 2:22
  was
• 2:23
  a
• 2:23
  fun
• 2:23
  way
• 2:23
  to
• 2:23
  look
• 2:23
  back
• 2:24
  at
• 2:24
  the
• 2:25
  exciting
• 2:26
  memories
• 2:27
  we
• 2:27
  had
• 2:27
  made.
• 2:28
  and
• 2:28
  coincidentally,
• 2:29
  it
• 2:29
  reminded
• 2:29
  me
• 2:29
  how
• 2:29
  much
• 2:30
  I
• 2:30
  enjoy
• 2:30
  traveling
• 2:31
  and
• 2:31
  that
• 2:31
  I
• 2:31
  want
• 2:31
  that
• 2:31
  to
• 2:31
  stay
• 2:32
  one
• 2:32
  of
• 2:32
  my
• 2:32
  top
• 2:32
  priorities.
• 2:33
  So
• 2:33
  that
• 2:33
  was
• 2:34
  one
• 2:34
  thing
• 2:34
  I
• 2:34
  did
• 2:34
  that
• 2:34
  really
• 2:34
  helped
• 2:34
  me
• 2:35
  reflect
• 2:35
  on
• 2:36
  what
• 2:36
  had
• 2:36
  happened
• 2:36
  because
• 2:36
  half
• 2:36
  the
• 2:36
  time
• 2:37
  I
• 2:37
  forget
• 2:37
  what
• 2:37
  happened
• 2:38
  in
• 2:38
  the
• 2:38
  year.
• 2:38
  I'm
• 2:38
  like
• 2:38
  was
• 2:38
  that
• 2:38
  this
• 2:39
  year,
• 2:39
  last
• 2:39
  year,
• 2:39
  I
• 2:39
  don't
• 2:39
  remember.
• 2:40
  So
• 2:40
  that
• 2:40
  was
• 2:40
  really
• 2:41
  useful
• 2:41
  for
• 2:41
  my
• 2:41
  poor
• 2:41
  brain
• 2:42
  forgets
• 2:42
  all
• 2:42
  the
• 2:42
  things.
• 2:43
  And
• 2:43
  the
• 2:43
  other
• 2:43
  thing
• 2:43
  that
• 2:43
  was
• 2:43
  really
• 2:44
  helpful
• 2:44
  was.
• 2:45
  The
• 2:45
  way
• 2:45
  that
• 2:45
  I
• 2:46
  journal
• 2:46
  now,
• 2:46
  I
• 2:46
  think
• 2:47
  I've
• 2:47
  mentioned
• 2:47
  this
• 2:47
  before,
• 2:47
  but
• 2:48
  I
• 2:48
  no
• 2:48
  longer
• 2:48
  try
• 2:48
  to
• 2:48
  journal
• 2:49
  everything
• 2:49
  that's
• 2:49
  happening
• 2:49
  in
• 2:50
  my
• 2:50
  life,
• 2:50
  or
• 2:50
  even
• 2:51
  the
• 2:51
  big
• 2:51
  things
• 2:52
  of
• 2:52
  consequence.
• 2:53
  Instead,
• 2:53
  I
• 2:53
  only
• 2:54
  journal
• 2:54
  when
• 2:54
  I
• 2:54
  really
• 2:55
  feel
• 2:55
  like
• 2:55
  I
• 2:55
  feel
• 2:56
  or
• 2:56
  see
• 2:56
  God's
• 2:57
  hand
• 2:57
  in
• 2:57
  my
• 2:57
  life.
• 2:58
  And
• 2:58
  this
• 2:59
  has
• 2:59
  given
• 2:59
  me
• 2:59
  so
• 3:00
  many
• 3:00
  different
• 3:00
  blessings
• 3:01
  as
• 3:01
  I
• 3:01
  reflect
• 3:02
  on
• 3:02
  the
• 3:02
  way
• 3:02
  that
• 3:03
  God
• 3:03
  talks
• 3:03
  to
• 3:03
  me
• 3:04
  and
• 3:05
  communicates
• 3:05
  with
• 3:06
  me
• 3:06
  and
• 3:07
  influences
• 3:07
  me.
• 3:08
  And
• 3:08
  so
• 3:09
  when
• 3:09
  I
• 3:09
  reflected
• 3:09
  on
• 3:09
  2024,
• 3:10
  I
• 3:10
  also
• 3:10
  opened
• 3:10
  up
• 3:11
  this
• 3:11
  journal
• 3:11
  and
• 3:11
  looked
• 3:11
  at
• 3:12
  a
• 3:12
  few
• 3:12
  of
• 3:12
  the
• 3:12
  things
• 3:12
  that
• 3:13
  God
• 3:13
  was
• 3:13
  trying
• 3:13
  to
• 3:13
  teach
• 3:13
  me.
• 3:14
  And
• 3:15
  I
• 3:15
  learned
• 3:15
  a
• 3:15
  few
• 3:15
  things.
• 3:16
  I
• 3:16
  learned
• 3:16
  what
• 3:17
  is
• 3:17
  important
• 3:17
  to
• 3:18
  me.
• 3:18
  I
• 3:18
  learned
• 3:19
  just
• 3:19
  what
• 3:19
  a
• 3:20
  wonderful
• 3:20
  life
• 3:20
  I
• 3:20
  have
• 3:21
  right
• 3:21
  now.
• 3:21
  Right.
• 3:21
  You
• 3:21
  can't
• 3:21
  help,
• 3:22
  but
• 3:22
  look.
• 3:22
  Over
• 3:23
  the
• 3:23
  past
• 3:23
  and
• 3:24
  be
• 3:24
  appreciative
• 3:25
  for
• 3:25
  what
• 3:25
  you've
• 3:25
  been
• 3:26
  given
• 3:26
  or
• 3:26
  at
• 3:26
  least
• 3:27
  I
• 3:27
  can't.
• 3:27
  That,
• 3:28
  that
• 3:28
  seems
• 3:28
  to
• 3:28
  be
• 3:28
  a
• 3:28
  pretty
• 3:29
  common
• 3:29
  theme
• 3:30
  for
• 3:30
  me
• 3:30
  is
• 3:30
  when
• 3:30
  I
• 3:30
  reflect
• 3:31
  over
• 3:31
  a
• 3:31
  long
• 3:32
  term
• 3:32
  period
• 3:32
  in
• 3:32
  my
• 3:32
  life,
• 3:33
  like
• 3:33
  a
• 3:33
  year.
• 3:34
  I
• 3:34
  feel
• 3:34
  so
• 3:34
  grateful
• 3:35
  for
• 3:35
  all
• 3:35
  I
• 3:35
  have
• 3:35
  been
• 3:35
  given.
• 3:36
  And
• 3:36
  I
• 3:36
  hope
• 3:36
  that
• 3:36
  you
• 3:36
  do
• 3:37
  the
• 3:37
  same
• 3:37
  because
• 3:37
  I
• 3:38
  think
• 3:38
  it's
• 3:38
  a
• 3:38
  really
• 3:38
  healthy
• 3:39
  outlook,
• 3:40
  no
• 3:40
  matter
• 3:40
  how
• 3:40
  bad
• 3:41
  things
• 3:41
  can
• 3:41
  be,
• 3:41
  there
• 3:42
  are
• 3:42
  always
• 3:42
  things
• 3:42
  to
• 3:42
  be
• 3:42
  grateful
• 3:43
  for,
• 3:43
  and
• 3:43
  it's
• 3:43
  a
• 3:43
  much
• 3:44
  happier
• 3:44
  and
• 3:45
  more
• 3:45
  joyful
• 3:45
  place
• 3:45
  to
• 3:45
  sit
• 3:46
  in
• 3:46
  than
• 3:47
  to
• 3:47
  focus
• 3:47
  on
• 3:47
  the
• 3:47
  bat.
• 3:48
  So
• 3:48
  those
• 3:48
  two
• 3:48
  things
• 3:49
  really
• 3:49
  helped
• 3:49
  me
• 3:49
  reflect
• 3:49
  in
• 3:49
  2024.
• 3:51
  And
• 3:51
  when
• 3:51
  I
• 3:51
  did
• 3:51
  that,
• 3:52
  I
• 3:52
  noticed.
• 3:53
  That.
• 3:54
  My
• 3:55
  priorities
• 3:55
  were
• 3:55
  shifting
• 3:56
  a
• 3:56
  little
• 3:56
  bit
• 3:56
  in
• 3:56
  business
• 3:57
  and
• 3:57
  in
• 3:57
  life.
• 3:58
  I
• 3:58
  was
• 3:58
  noticing
• 3:59
  that
• 3:59
  I
• 3:59
  no
• 3:59
  longer
• 4:00
  really
• 4:01
  wanted
• 4:01
  to
• 4:01
  hustle.
• 4:02
  Like
• 4:02
  I
• 4:02
  have
• 4:02
  been
• 4:02
  in
• 4:02
  my
• 4:03
  business.
• 4:03
  So
• 4:03
  just
• 4:03
  to
• 4:03
  kind
• 4:04
  of
• 4:04
  catch
• 4:04
  you
• 4:04
  up.
• 4:04
  I
• 4:04
  have
• 4:04
  been
• 4:05
  building
• 4:05
  side
• 4:06
  hustles.
• 4:06
  You
• 4:06
  might
• 4:06
  call
• 4:07
  them
• 4:07
  small
• 4:07
  businesses
• 4:08
  alongside
• 4:09
  growing
• 4:09
  my
• 4:09
  family
• 4:10
  for
• 4:10
  the
• 4:10
  past
• 4:10
  10
• 4:10
  plus
• 4:11
  years.
• 4:11
  And
• 4:12
  it's
• 4:12
  been
• 4:12
  really
• 4:12
  fun,
• 4:12
  but
• 4:12
  I
• 4:13
  have
• 4:13
  very
• 4:13
  often
• 4:14
  been
• 4:15
  dragged
• 4:15
  into
• 4:16
  this
• 4:17
  mindset
• 4:17
  of
• 4:18
  hustle,
• 4:18
  harder
• 4:19
  hustle,
• 4:19
  faster,
• 4:19
  make
• 4:20
  more
• 4:20
  money,
• 4:20
  be
• 4:20
  more
• 4:20
  successful.
• 4:21
  And
• 4:22
  it's
• 4:22
  not
• 4:22
  entirely
• 4:23
  all
• 4:23
  my
• 4:23
  fault.
• 4:24
  The
• 4:24
  online.
• 4:25
  Marketing
• 4:26
  environment
• 4:27
  very
• 4:27
  often.
• 4:29
  Kind
• 4:29
  of
• 4:29
  encourages
• 4:29
  this
• 4:30
  mindset
• 4:30
  like,
• 4:30
  oh,
• 4:31
  so-and-so
• 4:31
  made
• 4:31
  a
• 4:31
  million
• 4:32
  dollars
• 4:32
  in
• 4:32
  90
• 4:32
  days.
• 4:32
  You
• 4:33
  can't
• 4:33
  do.
• 4:34
  And
• 4:34
  even
• 4:34
  though
• 4:35
  I
• 4:35
  thought
• 4:35
  my
• 4:35
  goals
• 4:35
  were
• 4:35
  realistic,
• 4:36
  I
• 4:37
  found
• 4:37
  myself
• 4:37
  constantly
• 4:38
  pushing
• 4:39
  and
• 4:39
  always
• 4:39
  feeling
• 4:39
  like
• 4:40
  nothing
• 4:40
  was
• 4:40
  ever
• 4:40
  enough.
• 4:41
  My
• 4:41
  efforts
• 4:42
  were
• 4:42
  not
• 4:42
  enough.
• 4:42
  My
• 4:43
  results
• 4:43
  were
• 4:43
  not
• 4:44
  enough.
• 4:44
  My
• 4:44
  income
• 4:45
  was
• 4:45
  not
• 4:45
  enough.
• 4:46
  And
• 4:46
  by
• 4:46
  the
• 4:46
  end
• 4:46
  of
• 4:46
  20,
• 4:47
  24,
• 4:47
  I
• 4:47
  felt
• 4:48
  honestly
• 4:48
  exhausted.
• 4:49
  And
• 4:49
  I
• 4:49
  thought
• 4:49
  this
• 4:50
  is
• 4:50
  not
• 4:50
  the
• 4:50
  business
• 4:51
  I
• 4:51
  want
• 4:51
  to
• 4:51
  build.
• 4:52
  I
• 4:52
  want
• 4:53
  to
• 4:53
  build
• 4:53
  something
• 4:53
  sustainable.
• 4:54
  I
• 4:54
  want
• 4:55
  to
• 4:55
  build
• 4:55
  something
• 4:55
  that
• 4:55
  I
• 4:55
  love.
• 4:56
  I
• 4:56
  want
• 4:56
  to
• 4:57
  build
• 4:57
  something
• 4:57
  that
• 4:58
  does
• 4:58
  not.
• 4:58
  Die.
• 4:59
  If
• 4:59
  I
• 4:59
  decide
• 4:59
  to
• 5:00
  take
• 5:00
  a
• 5:00
  10
• 5:00
  day
• 5:00
  vacation
• 5:01
  with
• 5:01
  my
• 5:01
  family.
• 5:02
  I
• 5:02
  was
• 5:02
  thinking
• 5:03
  a
• 5:03
  lot
• 5:03
  about
• 5:03
  that.
• 5:04
  And
• 5:04
  simultaneously
• 5:05
  I
• 5:05
  started
• 5:05
  to
• 5:06
  have
• 5:06
  a
• 5:06
  pretty
• 5:06
  strong
• 5:07
  spiritual.
• 5:09
  Inclination
• 5:10
  premonition,
• 5:10
  whatever
• 5:11
  you
• 5:11
  want
• 5:11
  to
• 5:11
  call
• 5:11
  it,
• 5:11
  that
• 5:12
  it
• 5:12
  was
• 5:12
  time
• 5:12
  to
• 5:12
  slow
• 5:13
  down
• 5:13
  a
• 5:13
  little
• 5:13
  bit.
• 5:14
  And
• 5:14
  to
• 5:14
  trust
• 5:14
  God.
• 5:15
  And.
• 5:17
  I
• 5:17
  found
• 5:17
  that
• 5:17
  to
• 5:17
  be
• 5:17
  very
• 5:18
  interesting.
• 5:18
  I
• 5:18
  thought,
• 5:18
  okay,
• 5:18
  the
• 5:19
  Lord
• 5:19
  is
• 5:19
  trying
• 5:19
  to
• 5:19
  teach
• 5:19
  me
• 5:19
  something
• 5:20
  here.
• 5:20
  I
• 5:20
  wonder
• 5:20
  what
• 5:20
  it
• 5:20
  is.
• 5:21
  And
• 5:21
  right
• 5:21
  around
• 5:21
  that
• 5:21
  time,
• 5:22
  a
• 5:22
  friend
• 5:22
  sent
• 5:23
  a
• 5:23
  really
• 5:24
  great.
• 5:24
  Podcast
• 5:25
  episode
• 5:25
  to
• 5:25
  me.
• 5:26
  It
• 5:26
  was
• 5:26
  an
• 5:26
  interview
• 5:27
  with
• 5:27
  Jonathan
• 5:27
  Rumi,
• 5:28
  the
• 5:28
  actor
• 5:28
  who
• 5:28
  plays
• 5:29
  Jesus
• 5:29
  on
• 5:29
  the
• 5:30
  chosen
• 5:30
  series,
• 5:31
  which
• 5:31
  our
• 5:31
  family
• 5:32
  loves
• 5:32
  and
• 5:32
  is
• 5:32
  such
• 5:32
  a
• 5:32
  delightful
• 5:33
  series.
• 5:33
  If
• 5:33
  you
• 5:33
  haven't
• 5:33
  watched
• 5:34
  it,
• 5:34
  you
• 5:34
  need
• 5:34
  to
• 5:34
  go
• 5:34
  watch
• 5:34
  it.
• 5:35
  But
• 5:35
  I
• 5:36
  really
• 5:36
  admire
• 5:36
  this
• 5:36
  actor.
• 5:37
  I
• 5:37
  think
• 5:37
  he's
• 5:37
  done
• 5:37
  some
• 5:37
  amazing
• 5:38
  things
• 5:38
  with
• 5:38
  the
• 5:38
  role
• 5:39
  and,
• 5:39
  with
• 5:39
  his
• 5:39
  life
• 5:40
  in
• 5:40
  general.
• 5:41
  And
• 5:41
  he
• 5:41
  talks
• 5:41
  about
• 5:41
  faith
• 5:41
  a
• 5:41
  lot
• 5:42
  in
• 5:42
  his
• 5:42
  interviews.
• 5:42
  And
• 5:43
  in
• 5:43
  this
• 5:43
  interview
• 5:43
  in
• 5:43
  particular,
• 5:44
  he
• 5:44
  talked
• 5:44
  about
• 5:45
  the
• 5:45
  beginning
• 5:45
  of
• 5:45
  his
• 5:46
  acting
• 5:46
  career
• 5:46
  and
• 5:46
  how
• 5:47
  he
• 5:47
  was
• 5:47
  basically.
• 5:48
  Completely
• 5:49
  broke
• 5:50
  and
• 5:50
  contemplating
• 5:51
  whether
• 5:51
  this
• 5:51
  really
• 5:52
  was
• 5:52
  for
• 5:52
  him
• 5:52
  just
• 5:53
  months
• 5:53
  before
• 5:54
  he
• 5:54
  was
• 5:54
  cast
• 5:55
  as
• 5:55
  Jesus
• 5:55
  in
• 5:55
  the
• 5:55
  chosen.
• 5:56
  And
• 5:56
  he
• 5:56
  said
• 5:56
  during
• 5:57
  that
• 5:57
  time
• 5:57
  of
• 5:57
  life,
• 5:58
  he
• 5:58
  just
• 5:59
  felt
• 5:59
  like
• 5:59
  God
• 5:59
  was
• 6:00
  saying,
• 6:00
  it's
• 6:00
  time
• 6:00
  to
• 6:01
  surrender
• 6:01
  to
• 6:02
  me.
• 6:02
  And
• 6:03
  so
• 6:03
  he
• 6:03
  did,
• 6:03
  he
• 6:03
  just
• 6:03
  kind
• 6:03
  of
• 6:04
  stopped
• 6:04
  pushing
• 6:04
  his
• 6:04
  own
• 6:05
  itinerary,
• 6:06
  I
• 6:06
  guess
• 6:06
  his
• 6:06
  own.
• 6:07
  Will
• 6:07
  you
• 6:08
  might
• 6:08
  say
• 6:09
  for
• 6:09
  his
• 6:09
  career
• 6:09
  and
• 6:10
  instead
• 6:10
  gave
• 6:10
  it
• 6:10
  all
• 6:11
  to
• 6:11
  God.
• 6:11
  And
• 6:11
  when
• 6:12
  he
• 6:12
  said
• 6:12
  that
• 6:12
  word,
• 6:13
  it
• 6:13
  just
• 6:13
  kind
• 6:14
  of
• 6:14
  resonated
• 6:14
  in
• 6:14
  my
• 6:14
  soul.
• 6:15
  And
• 6:15
  I
• 6:15
  thought,
• 6:15
  there
• 6:15
  we
• 6:16
  go.
• 6:16
  Surrender
• 6:17
  is
• 6:17
  the
• 6:17
  word.
• 6:17
  Now
• 6:18
  I
• 6:18
  know
• 6:19
  picking
• 6:19
  a
• 6:19
  word
• 6:19
  of
• 6:19
  the
• 6:19
  year
• 6:20
  is
• 6:20
  a
• 6:20
  pretty
• 6:20
  trendy
• 6:20
  thing
• 6:20
  to
• 6:20
  do.
• 6:21
  I
• 6:21
  actually
• 6:21
  personally
• 6:21
  have
• 6:22
  never
• 6:22
  done
• 6:22
  it.
• 6:22
  I
• 6:22
  just
• 6:23
  kind
• 6:23
  of
• 6:23
  sit
• 6:23
  down
• 6:23
  and
• 6:23
  jot
• 6:23
  down
• 6:24
  some
• 6:24
  goals
• 6:24
  that
• 6:24
  I'd
• 6:24
  like
• 6:24
  to
• 6:24
  work
• 6:25
  on.
• 6:25
  But
• 6:25
  this
• 6:26
  year,
• 6:26
  it
• 6:26
  felt
• 6:26
  right.
• 6:27
  And
• 6:27
  so
• 6:27
  I
• 6:27
  bought
• 6:28
  another
• 6:28
  one
• 6:28
  of
• 6:28
  those
• 6:28
  calendars
• 6:29
  and
• 6:29
  I
• 6:29
  put
• 6:29
  it
• 6:29
  on
• 6:29
  my
• 6:29
  wall
• 6:30
  and
• 6:30
  I've
• 6:30
  jotted
• 6:31
  down
• 6:31
  some
• 6:31
  of
• 6:31
  the
• 6:31
  trips
• 6:31
  we
• 6:31
  have
• 6:31
  planned
• 6:32
  this
• 6:32
  year.
• 6:33
  And
• 6:33
  at
• 6:33
  the
• 6:33
  very
• 6:33
  top
• 6:34
  in
• 6:34
  big
• 6:34
  blue
• 6:35
  Sharpie,
• 6:35
  I
• 6:35
  wrote
• 6:36
  surrender.
• 6:37
  And
• 6:38
  so
• 6:38
  I
• 6:38
  want
• 6:38
  to
• 6:38
  talk
• 6:38
  a
• 6:38
  little
• 6:38
  bit
• 6:39
  about
• 6:39
  what
• 6:39
  that's
• 6:39
  going
• 6:39
  to
• 6:39
  look
• 6:40
  like
• 6:40
  for
• 6:40
  me,
• 6:40
  I'm
• 6:40
  not
• 6:40
  entirely
• 6:41
  sure,
• 6:41
  but
• 6:41
  I
• 6:41
  do
• 6:41
  know
• 6:42
  that's
• 6:42
  what
• 6:42
  God
• 6:42
  is
• 6:42
  trying
• 6:43
  to
• 6:43
  tell
• 6:43
  me
• 6:43
  about
• 6:43
  this
• 6:43
  year.
• 6:44
  Whether
• 6:45
  it's
• 6:45
  be
• 6:45
  for
• 6:45
  business
• 6:46
  or
• 6:46
  life,
• 6:46
  or
• 6:46
  maybe
• 6:46
  a
• 6:46
  combination
• 6:47
  of
• 6:47
  the
• 6:47
  two.
• 6:48
  And
• 6:48
  so
• 6:48
  this
• 6:48
  is
• 6:48
  what
• 6:49
  I
• 6:49
  anticipate
• 6:49
  this
• 6:49
  looking
• 6:50
  like,
• 6:50
  although
• 6:50
  I
• 6:51
  don't
• 6:51
  fully
• 6:51
  know
• 6:51
  because
• 6:52
  it's
• 6:52
  not
• 6:52
  really
• 6:52
  my
• 6:52
  idea.
• 6:53
  This,
• 6:53
  wasn't
• 6:53
  my
• 6:54
  word
• 6:54
  that
• 6:54
  came
• 6:54
  to
• 6:55
  me.
• 6:55
  It
• 6:55
  was
• 6:56
  definitely
• 6:56
  God.
• 6:57
  So
• 6:57
  I
• 6:57
  anticipate
• 6:58
  this
• 6:58
  looking
• 6:58
  like
• 6:59
  a
• 6:59
  little
• 6:59
  bit
• 6:59
  of
• 6:59
  a
• 7:00
  slower
• 7:00
  pace
• 7:00
  for
• 7:01
  my
• 7:01
  business.
• 7:02
  I
• 7:03
  have
• 7:03
  talked
• 7:03
  to
• 7:04
  a
• 7:04
  friend
• 7:04
  a
• 7:04
  couple
• 7:05
  of
• 7:05
  times
• 7:05
  about
• 7:06
  how
• 7:07
  I
• 7:07
  approach
• 7:07
  my
• 7:07
  business.
• 7:08
  And
• 7:08
  the
• 7:08
  phrase
• 7:09
  that
• 7:09
  keeps
• 7:09
  coming
• 7:09
  back
• 7:09
  to
• 7:10
  me
• 7:10
  is
• 7:10
  having
• 7:11
  it
• 7:11
  in
• 7:11
  a
• 7:11
  choke
• 7:12
  hold.
• 7:12
  That
• 7:13
  is
• 7:13
  kind
• 7:13
  of
• 7:13
  how
• 7:13
  I've
• 7:13
  looked
• 7:14
  at
• 7:14
  my
• 7:14
  business.
• 7:14
  The
• 7:14
  last
• 7:14
  few
• 7:15
  years
• 7:15
  is
• 7:15
  like,
• 7:16
  I
• 7:16
  am
• 7:16
  choking
• 7:17
  the
• 7:17
  life
• 7:17
  out
• 7:17
  of
• 7:17
  it.
• 7:17
  Cause
• 7:17
  I'm
• 7:18
  just
• 7:18
  trying
• 7:18
  so
• 7:19
  hard
• 7:19
  to
• 7:19
  get
• 7:19
  things
• 7:20
  to
• 7:20
  work
• 7:20
  the
• 7:20
  way
• 7:20
  I
• 7:20
  think
• 7:21
  they
• 7:21
  should.
• 7:22
  And
• 7:22
  I
• 7:22
  just
• 7:23
  don't
• 7:23
  think
• 7:23
  that's
• 7:23
  really
• 7:24
  healthy
• 7:24
  for
• 7:24
  me
• 7:24
  these
• 7:25
  days.
• 7:25
  I
• 7:26
  want
• 7:26
  my
• 7:26
  goals
• 7:27
  and
• 7:27
  my
• 7:27
  business
• 7:27
  outcome
• 7:28
  to
• 7:29
  just
• 7:29
  come
• 7:30
  a
• 7:30
  little
• 7:30
  bit
• 7:30
  more
• 7:31
  naturally.
• 7:32
  It's
• 7:32
  going
• 7:32
  to
• 7:32
  look
• 7:33
  like
• 7:33
  becoming
• 7:33
  a
• 7:33
  little
• 7:33
  bit
• 7:34
  more
• 7:34
  okay.
• 7:35
  With
• 7:35
  what
• 7:35
  is,
• 7:35
  and
• 7:36
  not
• 7:36
  constantly
• 7:36
  pushing
• 7:37
  for
• 7:37
  something
• 7:37
  else.
• 7:38
  It's
• 7:39
  going
• 7:39
  to
• 7:39
  be
• 7:39
  trusting
• 7:39
  God,
• 7:40
  more
• 7:40
  looking
• 7:40
  for
• 7:41
  his
• 7:41
  will
• 7:41
  and
• 7:41
  not
• 7:42
  constantly
• 7:42
  pushing
• 7:43
  my
• 7:43
  own.
• 7:43
  Agenda.
• 7:45
  Now,
• 7:45
  this
• 7:45
  is
• 7:46
  not
• 7:46
  mean
• 7:47
  that
• 7:47
  I'm
• 7:47
  going
• 7:47
  to
• 7:47
  stop
• 7:48
  working.
• 7:48
  It
• 7:48
  doesn't
• 7:49
  mean
• 7:49
  that
• 7:49
  I'm
• 7:49
  gonna
• 7:49
  allow
• 7:49
  myself
• 7:50
  to
• 7:50
  be
• 7:50
  lazy
• 7:50
  and
• 7:50
  just
• 7:50
  watch
• 7:51
  TV
• 7:51
  all
• 7:51
  the
• 7:51
  time.
• 7:51
  In
• 7:51
  fact,
• 7:52
  the
• 7:52
  other
• 7:52
  day,
• 7:52
  I
• 7:52
  was
• 7:52
  like,
• 7:52
  oh,
• 7:52
  I
• 7:53
  really
• 7:53
  need
• 7:53
  to
• 7:53
  get
• 7:53
  this
• 7:53
  project
• 7:53
  done.
• 7:54
  But.
• 7:54
  I
• 7:54
  have
• 7:54
  a
• 7:54
  really
• 7:55
  good
• 7:55
  book.
• 7:55
  I'm
• 7:55
  reading
• 7:55
  it.
• 7:56
  I
• 7:56
  had
• 7:56
  to
• 7:56
  remind
• 7:56
  myself
• 7:56
  no,
• 7:57
  I
• 7:57
  have
• 7:57
  prioritized
• 7:58
  my
• 7:58
  business
• 7:58
  for
• 7:59
  a
• 7:59
  reason.
• 8:00
  So
• 8:00
  that
• 8:00
  looks
• 8:00
  like
• 8:00
  doing
• 8:01
  work
• 8:01
  during
• 8:01
  work
• 8:02
  time.
• 8:03
  But
• 8:03
  it
• 8:04
  doesn't
• 8:04
  look
• 8:04
  like
• 8:05
  forcing
• 8:05
  the
• 8:05
  results.
• 8:06
  It
• 8:06
  just
• 8:06
  looks
• 8:07
  like
• 8:07
  allowing
• 8:07
  things
• 8:08
  to
• 8:08
  be
• 8:08
  the
• 8:08
  way
• 8:08
  they
• 8:08
  are.
• 8:09
  Now,
• 8:09
  why
• 8:10
  do
• 8:10
  I
• 8:10
  feel
• 8:10
  this
• 8:11
  way?
• 8:11
  And
• 8:11
  why
• 8:11
  is
• 8:11
  this.
• 8:12
  Such
• 8:13
  a
• 8:13
  strong.
• 8:14
  Inclination
• 8:14
  for
• 8:14
  me.
• 8:14
  Well,
• 8:15
  I
• 8:15
  don't
• 8:15
  really
• 8:15
  know,
• 8:16
  but
• 8:16
  I
• 8:16
  do
• 8:16
  trust
• 8:16
  God,
• 8:17
  and
• 8:17
  I
• 8:17
  know
• 8:17
  that
• 8:17
  he
• 8:17
  has
• 8:18
  my
• 8:18
  best
• 8:18
  interest
• 8:19
  at
• 8:19
  heart.
• 8:20
  And
• 8:20
  also
• 8:20
  I'm
• 8:21
  remembering
• 8:21
  that
• 8:21
  I
• 8:21
  just
• 8:22
  do
• 8:22
  not
• 8:23
  want
• 8:23
  any
• 8:23
  regrets
• 8:23
  with
• 8:24
  my
• 8:24
  family.
• 8:25
  Because
• 8:26
  my
• 8:26
  business
• 8:26
  is
• 8:26
  not
• 8:27
  required
• 8:27
  to
• 8:27
  support
• 8:28
  my
• 8:28
  family.
• 8:28
  I
• 8:29
  want
• 8:29
  to
• 8:29
  be
• 8:29
  very
• 8:29
  careful
• 8:30
  about
• 8:30
  how
• 8:30
  much
• 8:31
  I
• 8:31
  prioritize
• 8:31
  it
• 8:31
  over
• 8:32
  my
• 8:32
  family
• 8:32
  now,
• 8:32
  to
• 8:32
  be
• 8:32
  fair.
• 8:33
  Sometimes
• 8:33
  I
• 8:33
  do
• 8:33
  prioritize
• 8:34
  my
• 8:34
  business
• 8:34
  over
• 8:34
  my
• 8:34
  family.
• 8:35
  Sometimes
• 8:35
  I
• 8:35
  leave
• 8:35
  my
• 8:35
  family
• 8:36
  to
• 8:36
  go
• 8:36
  on.
• 8:37
  To
• 8:37
  business
• 8:37
  conferences
• 8:38
  or
• 8:39
  to
• 8:40
  go
• 8:40
  to
• 8:41
  a
• 8:41
  coworking
• 8:42
  space
• 8:42
  or
• 8:42
  the
• 8:42
  library.
• 8:43
  So
• 8:43
  I
• 8:43
  can
• 8:43
  get
• 8:43
  some
• 8:43
  uninterrupted
• 8:44
  time
• 8:44
  work
• 8:44
  time
• 8:44
  in.
• 8:45
  It
• 8:45
  doesn't
• 8:45
  mean
• 8:45
  that
• 8:46
  I'm
• 8:46
  always
• 8:46
  giving
• 8:46
  up
• 8:47
  work
• 8:47
  priorities
• 8:48
  in
• 8:48
  favor
• 8:48
  of
• 8:48
  my
• 8:48
  family,
• 8:49
  but
• 8:49
  it
• 8:49
  does
• 8:50
  mean.
• 8:50
  That
• 8:50
  my
• 8:50
  family
• 8:51
  comes
• 8:51
  first.
• 8:52
  I
• 8:52
  have
• 8:52
  to
• 8:52
  keep
• 8:52
  reminding
• 8:53
  myself
• 8:53
  that
• 8:53
  I
• 8:53
  can
• 8:54
  build
• 8:54
  a
• 8:54
  business,
• 8:54
  literally
• 8:55
  any
• 8:55
  year
• 8:56
  of
• 8:56
  my
• 8:56
  life.
• 8:56
  Even
• 8:57
  when
• 8:57
  I'm
• 8:57
  79
• 8:58
  years
• 8:58
  old
• 8:58
  or
• 8:58
  89
• 8:59
  years
• 8:59
  old,
• 8:59
  I
• 8:59
  can
• 9:00
  build
• 9:00
  a
• 9:00
  business
• 9:00
  really,
• 9:01
  truly.
• 9:02
  And
• 9:02
  I
• 9:02
  can
• 9:02
  go
• 9:03
  hard
• 9:03
  whenever
• 9:04
  I
• 9:04
  have
• 9:04
  the
• 9:04
  time
• 9:04
  for
• 9:04
  it.
• 9:05
  But
• 9:05
  I
• 9:05
  cannot
• 9:06
  always
• 9:06
  spend
• 9:06
  time
• 9:06
  with
• 9:06
  my
• 9:06
  kids
• 9:07
  and.
• 9:08
  Not
• 9:08
  that
• 9:08
  I
• 9:08
  wasn't
• 9:09
  spending
• 9:09
  time
• 9:09
  with
• 9:09
  them
• 9:09
  last
• 9:09
  year,
• 9:10
  but
• 9:10
  very
• 9:10
  often
• 9:11
  my
• 9:11
  mind
• 9:11
  was
• 9:11
  not
• 9:12
  with
• 9:12
  them.
• 9:12
  I
• 9:12
  was
• 9:12
  not
• 9:13
  fully
• 9:13
  present
• 9:13
  because
• 9:13
  I
• 9:14
  was
• 9:14
  constantly
• 9:14
  thinking
• 9:14
  of
• 9:14
  the
• 9:14
  next
• 9:15
  project.
• 9:15
  Or
• 9:16
  the
• 9:16
  next
• 9:16
  thing
• 9:17
  that
• 9:17
  I
• 9:17
  could
• 9:17
  be
• 9:17
  working
• 9:17
  on
• 9:17
  in
• 9:17
  my
• 9:18
  business.
• 9:19
  One
• 9:19
  thing
• 9:19
  that
• 9:20
  I
• 9:20
  noticed,
• 9:20
  like
• 9:20
  I
• 9:20
  mentioned,
• 9:20
  when
• 9:21
  I
• 9:21
  looked
• 9:21
  at
• 9:22
  the
• 9:22
  calendar
• 9:22
  from
• 9:22
  last
• 9:23
  year
• 9:23
  and
• 9:23
  reflected
• 9:23
  on
• 9:23
  my
• 9:24
  adventures.
• 9:25
  As
• 9:25
  I
• 9:25
  call
• 9:25
  them.
• 9:26
  That
• 9:26
  travel
• 9:27
  has
• 9:27
  become
• 9:27
  very
• 9:28
  important
• 9:28
  to
• 9:28
  me.
• 9:29
  I've
• 9:29
  noticed
• 9:29
  that
• 9:29
  I
• 9:30
  relax
• 9:30
  best
• 9:30
  when
• 9:31
  I
• 9:31
  am
• 9:31
  not
• 9:31
  home.
• 9:32
  I
• 9:32
  love
• 9:32
  my
• 9:32
  home
• 9:33
  and
• 9:33
  I
• 9:33
  love
• 9:33
  relaxing
• 9:33
  in
• 9:33
  my
• 9:33
  home,
• 9:34
  but
• 9:34
  because
• 9:34
  there
• 9:34
  are
• 9:34
  so
• 9:35
  many
• 9:35
  people
• 9:35
  here
• 9:36
  and
• 9:36
  there
• 9:36
  are
• 9:36
  always
• 9:36
  things
• 9:37
  to
• 9:37
  be
• 9:37
  done,
• 9:37
  whether
• 9:37
  for
• 9:37
  my
• 9:38
  business
• 9:38
  or
• 9:38
  home
• 9:39
  management
• 9:39
  or
• 9:39
  organization
• 9:40
  or
• 9:40
  whatever
• 9:41
  meal.
• 9:42
  Prep
• 9:42
  and
• 9:42
  planning
• 9:43
  and
• 9:43
  cooking
• 9:43
  and
• 9:43
  cleaning.
• 9:44
  It's
• 9:44
  very
• 9:45
  difficult
• 9:45
  for
• 9:45
  me
• 9:46
  to
• 9:46
  just
• 9:46
  let
• 9:46
  go
• 9:46
  and
• 9:47
  fully
• 9:47
  relax
• 9:47
  at
• 9:47
  home.
• 9:48
  So
• 9:48
  instead
• 9:48
  I've
• 9:48
  prioritized
• 9:49
  more
• 9:49
  trips
• 9:50
  and
• 9:50
  those
• 9:50
  can
• 9:50
  be
• 9:51
  simple
• 9:51
  ones
• 9:51
  like
• 9:51
  driving
• 9:52
  to
• 9:52
  another
• 9:53
  state
• 9:53
  to
• 9:53
  visit
• 9:54
  a
• 9:54
  friend
• 9:54
  or
• 9:54
  a
• 9:54
  family
• 9:54
  member,
• 9:55
  or
• 9:55
  they
• 9:55
  can
• 9:55
  be
• 9:55
  more
• 9:55
  elaborate
• 9:56
  this
• 9:56
  year.
• 9:56
  We
• 9:57
  actually
• 9:57
  have
• 9:57
  a
• 9:57
  trip
• 9:57
  to
• 9:57
  Europe
• 9:58
  planned,
• 9:58
  which
• 9:58
  we're
• 9:58
  very
• 9:58
  excited
• 9:59
  about.
• 10:00
  But
• 10:00
  regardless
• 10:00
  of
• 10:00
  where
• 10:01
  I
• 10:01
  go
• 10:01
  or
• 10:01
  how
• 10:01
  much
• 10:01
  it
• 10:01
  costs.
• 10:03
  Those
• 10:03
  are
• 10:03
  prioritized
• 10:04
  for
• 10:04
  me,
• 10:04
  those
• 10:04
  trips
• 10:05
  are
• 10:05
  prioritized
• 10:05
  because
• 10:06
  I
• 10:06
  know
• 10:06
  how
• 10:07
  critical
• 10:07
  it
• 10:07
  is
• 10:07
  for
• 10:07
  me
• 10:08
  to
• 10:08
  relax,
• 10:09
  to
• 10:09
  be
• 10:09
  able
• 10:09
  to
• 10:09
  spend.
• 10:10
  Uninterrupted
• 10:11
  quality
• 10:11
  time
• 10:12
  with
• 10:12
  friends
• 10:12
  and
• 10:12
  family.
• 10:13
  They
• 10:13
  just
• 10:14
  fill
• 10:14
  me
• 10:14
  up
• 10:14
  so
• 10:14
  much.
• 10:15
  So
• 10:15
  that
• 10:15
  was
• 10:15
  a
• 10:15
  good
• 10:15
  reminder
• 10:16
  to
• 10:16
  me.
• 10:17
  And
• 10:17
  I
• 10:18
  have
• 10:18
  learned
• 10:18
  to
• 10:18
  love.
• 10:19
  Outdoor
• 10:20
  adventure
• 10:20
  lately
• 10:21
  this
• 10:21
  last
• 10:21
  year,
• 10:21
  I
• 10:21
  know
• 10:22
  I've
• 10:22
  talked
• 10:22
  probably
• 10:22
  four
• 10:23
  or
• 10:23
  five
• 10:23
  times
• 10:23
  about
• 10:24
  my
• 10:24
  first
• 10:25
  hiking
• 10:25
  trip
• 10:26
  down
• 10:26
  the
• 10:26
  grand
• 10:26
  canyon.
• 10:27
  And
• 10:27
  it
• 10:27
  was
• 10:28
  honestly
• 10:28
  a
• 10:28
  spiritual
• 10:29
  experience
• 10:29
  for
• 10:29
  me.
• 10:30
  I
• 10:30
  learned
• 10:30
  to
• 10:30
  love
• 10:30
  nature.
• 10:31
  I
• 10:31
  learned
• 10:31
  to
• 10:31
  love.
• 10:32
  Physical
• 10:33
  effort
• 10:33
  and
• 10:33
  I've
• 10:33
  been
• 10:33
  exercising
• 10:34
  more
• 10:34
  and
• 10:34
  more
• 10:34
  in
• 10:35
  training
• 10:35
  for
• 10:35
  races.
• 10:36
  I
• 10:36
  loved.
• 10:37
  Connecting
• 10:38
  with
• 10:38
  friends
• 10:38
  and
• 10:38
  family
• 10:39
  in
• 10:39
  the
• 10:39
  outdoors.
• 10:39
  So
• 10:40
  these
• 10:40
  are
• 10:40
  things
• 10:40
  that
• 10:40
  I'm
• 10:41
  realizing
• 10:41
  are
• 10:42
  just
• 10:42
  as
• 10:42
  important
• 10:43
  to
• 10:43
  me
• 10:43
  as
• 10:43
  building
• 10:44
  a
• 10:44
  business
• 10:45
  and
• 10:45
  that
• 10:45
  my
• 10:45
  business
• 10:45
  can
• 10:45
  be
• 10:46
  built
• 10:46
  around
• 10:46
  them.
• 10:47
  And
• 10:47
  not
• 10:47
  instead
• 10:47
  of
• 10:47
  them.
• 10:49
  I
• 10:49
  guess
• 10:49
  what
• 10:49
  I'm
• 10:49
  trying
• 10:50
  to
• 10:50
  tell
• 10:50
  you
• 10:50
  in
• 10:50
  this
• 10:51
  episode
• 10:51
  is
• 10:51
  that
• 10:51
  you
• 10:52
  can
• 10:52
  build
• 10:53
  a
• 10:53
  business
• 10:53
  without
• 10:54
  an
• 10:54
  intense.
• 10:55
  Focus
• 10:56
  on
• 10:56
  achieving
• 10:56
  more
• 10:57
  and
• 10:57
  achieving
• 10:57
  more
• 10:57
  and
• 10:58
  accumulating
• 10:58
  more
• 10:58
  and
• 10:59
  doing
• 10:59
  more.
• 11:00
  cause
• 11:00
  I
• 11:01
  wasn't
• 11:01
  doing
• 11:01
  that
• 11:01
  last
• 11:02
  year.
• 11:02
  You
• 11:02
  might
• 11:02
  already
• 11:02
  be
• 11:03
  doing
• 11:03
  that.
• 11:03
  And
• 11:03
  if
• 11:03
  so,
• 11:04
  I
• 11:04
  applaud
• 11:04
  you
• 11:05
  because
• 11:05
  it
• 11:05
  is
• 11:05
  very
• 11:06
  easy
• 11:06
  to
• 11:06
  get
• 11:06
  sucked
• 11:07
  into
• 11:07
  something
• 11:07
  that
• 11:07
  feels
• 11:08
  so
• 11:08
  fulfilling
• 11:09
  because
• 11:09
  when
• 11:09
  you
• 11:09
  make
• 11:10
  money
• 11:10
  and
• 11:10
  when
• 11:10
  you
• 11:10
  accomplish
• 11:11
  things
• 11:11
  and
• 11:11
  when
• 11:11
  you
• 11:11
  have
• 11:11
  an
• 11:12
  impact,
• 11:13
  it's
• 11:13
  a
• 11:13
  wonderful
• 11:13
  feeling.
• 11:14
  That's
• 11:14
  one
• 11:14
  of
• 11:14
  the
• 11:14
  reasons
• 11:15
  I
• 11:15
  love
• 11:15
  to
• 11:15
  build
• 11:15
  a
• 11:15
  business
• 11:16
  and
• 11:16
  I
• 11:16
  love
• 11:16
  to
• 11:16
  help
• 11:16
  other
• 11:16
  people
• 11:17
  build
• 11:17
  a
• 11:17
  business.
• 11:17
  But
• 11:18
  when
• 11:18
  it
• 11:18
  gets
• 11:18
  to
• 11:18
  the
• 11:18
  point
• 11:19
  where
• 11:19
  it
• 11:19
  is
• 11:19
  distracting
• 11:20
  you
• 11:20
  from
• 11:20
  the
• 11:20
  things
• 11:21
  that
• 11:21
  matter
• 11:21
  most,
• 11:21
  it
• 11:22
  might
• 11:22
  be
• 11:22
  time
• 11:22
  for
• 11:22
  a
• 11:22
  recalibration.
• 11:23
  And
• 11:23
  that's
• 11:23
  kind
• 11:24
  of
• 11:24
  how
• 11:24
  I'm
• 11:24
  feeling
• 11:24
  right
• 11:25
  now.
• 11:26
  So
• 11:26
  my.
• 11:27
  Encouragement
• 11:27
  to
• 11:28
  you
• 11:28
  is
• 11:28
  to
• 11:28
  ask
• 11:29
  yourself,
• 11:29
  what
• 11:30
  is
• 11:30
  God
• 11:30
  leading
• 11:31
  you
• 11:31
  to
• 11:31
  discover
• 11:32
  this
• 11:32
  year?
• 11:33
  To
• 11:33
  let
• 11:33
  go
• 11:34
  of.
• 11:35
  Or
• 11:35
  maybe
• 11:35
  to
• 11:35
  accomplish.
• 11:37
  To
• 11:37
  lean
• 11:37
  into,
• 11:38
  to
• 11:38
  lean
• 11:38
  away
• 11:38
  from,
• 11:39
  or
• 11:40
  to
• 11:40
  trust
• 11:41
  this
• 11:41
  year.
• 11:42
  Is
• 11:42
  there
• 11:42
  something
• 11:43
  that
• 11:43
  is
• 11:43
  kind
• 11:43
  of.
• 11:44
  Niggling
• 11:44
  you
• 11:44
  in
• 11:44
  the
• 11:45
  back
• 11:45
  of
• 11:45
  your
• 11:45
  mind
• 11:45
  that
• 11:45
  needs
• 11:46
  a
• 11:46
  little
• 11:46
  bit
• 11:46
  more
• 11:46
  of
• 11:46
  your
• 11:47
  attention
• 11:47
  or
• 11:47
  a
• 11:47
  little
• 11:48
  less
• 11:48
  of
• 11:48
  your
• 11:48
  attention.
• 11:49
  In
• 11:49
  what
• 11:49
  ways
• 11:50
  can
• 11:50
  we
• 11:50
  shift
• 11:50
  and
• 11:51
  alter
• 11:51
  our
• 11:51
  priorities
• 11:52
  to
• 11:52
  be
• 11:52
  better
• 11:52
  in
• 11:52
  alignment
• 11:53
  with
• 11:53
  what
• 11:54
  matters
• 11:54
  most
• 11:55
  to
• 11:55
  us.
• 11:56
  And
• 11:56
  what
• 11:56
  matters
• 11:56
  most
• 11:56
  to
• 11:56
  me
• 11:57
  is
• 11:57
  not
• 11:57
  going
• 11:57
  to
• 11:57
  be
• 11:57
  the
• 11:57
  same
• 11:58
  as
• 11:58
  As
• 11:58
  you,
• 11:58
  it
• 11:58
  might
• 11:58
  be
• 11:59
  similar,
• 11:59
  might
• 12:00
  be
• 12:00
  vastly
• 12:00
  different.
• 12:01
  It
• 12:01
  doesn't
• 12:01
  matter.
• 12:02
  You
• 12:02
  get
• 12:03
  to
• 12:03
  decide,
• 12:03
  and
• 12:03
  then
• 12:04
  we
• 12:04
  get
• 12:04
  to
• 12:04
  work
• 12:04
  making
• 12:05
  and
• 12:05
  building
• 12:05
  a
• 12:05
  life
• 12:06
  that's
• 12:06
  in
• 12:06
  alignment
• 12:06
  with
• 12:07
  those
• 12:07
  values.
• 12:08
  So
• 12:08
  how
• 12:08
  do
• 12:09
  you
• 12:09
  want
• 12:09
  to
• 12:09
  stick
• 12:09
  with
• 12:09
  those
• 12:10
  values?
• 12:10
  How
• 12:10
  do
• 12:10
  you
• 12:10
  want
• 12:11
  to
• 12:11
  make
• 12:11
  sure
• 12:11
  that
• 12:11
  they
• 12:11
  are
• 12:11
  implemented
• 12:12
  in
• 12:12
  a
• 12:12
  way
• 12:12
  that
• 12:12
  is
• 12:13
  building
• 12:13
  a
• 12:13
  life?
• 12:14
  That
• 12:14
  you
• 12:14
  love,
• 12:15
  not
• 12:15
  just
• 12:15
  full
• 12:16
  of
• 12:16
  fun
• 12:16
  stuff
• 12:16
  all
• 12:16
  the
• 12:16
  time.
• 12:17
  But
• 12:17
  full
• 12:17
  of
• 12:17
  the
• 12:18
  things
• 12:18
  that
• 12:18
  matter
• 12:18
  most.
• 12:19
  Now
• 12:19
  each
• 12:19
  of
• 12:19
  our
• 12:20
  personalities
• 12:20
  have
• 12:21
  different
• 12:21
  propensities.
• 12:22
  Right?
• 12:22
  I've
• 12:22
  mentioned
• 12:23
  multiple
• 12:23
  times
• 12:23
  before
• 12:23
  that
• 12:23
  I
• 12:24
  am.
• 12:24
  Prone
• 12:25
  to
• 12:25
  pushing,
• 12:26
  to
• 12:26
  producing,
• 12:27
  to
• 12:28
  accomplishing.
• 12:29
  For
• 12:29
  example,
• 12:29
  in
• 12:30
  2024,
• 12:30
  I
• 12:30
  just
• 12:31
  pulled
• 12:31
  out
• 12:31
  my
• 12:31
  goal
• 12:31
  sheet
• 12:31
  from
• 12:32
  the
• 12:32
  year
• 12:32
  I
• 12:32
  had
• 12:33
  no
• 12:33
  fewer
• 12:33
  than
• 12:34
  17
• 12:35
  goals.
• 12:36
  Yes
• 12:36
  people.
• 12:37
  17
• 12:38
  goals,
• 12:39
  new
• 12:39
  year's
• 12:39
  resolutions
• 12:40
  in
• 12:40
  six
• 12:40
  different
• 12:41
  areas.
• 12:42
  And
• 12:43
  I
• 12:43
  honestly
• 12:43
  accomplished
• 12:44
  most
• 12:44
  of
• 12:44
  them
• 12:44
  because
• 12:45
  that's
• 12:45
  how
• 12:45
  I
• 12:45
  live
• 12:45
  my
• 12:45
  life.
• 12:47
  But
• 12:47
  was
• 12:47
  it
• 12:47
  exhausting?
• 12:48
  A
• 12:48
  little
• 12:48
  bit.
• 12:49
  That's
• 12:49
  kind
• 12:50
  of
• 12:50
  how
• 12:50
  I
• 12:50
  roll.
• 12:51
  And
• 12:51
  this
• 12:51
  year
• 12:51
  just
• 12:51
  felt
• 12:52
  like
• 12:52
  I
• 12:52
  needed
• 12:52
  something
• 12:52
  different
• 12:53
  this
• 12:53
  year.
• 12:54
  I
• 12:54
  decided
• 12:54
  to
• 12:54
  sit.
• 12:55
  In
• 12:56
  what
• 12:57
  I
• 12:57
  call
• 12:57
  joyful
• 12:57
  contentment
• 12:58
  over
• 12:58
  what
• 12:59
  already
• 12:59
  is.
• 13:01
  I
• 13:01
  want
• 13:01
  to
• 13:01
  step
• 13:01
  into
• 13:02
  that
• 13:02
  gain.
• 13:02
  Remember
• 13:02
  the
• 13:03
  gap
• 13:03
  in
• 13:03
  the
• 13:03
  game
• 13:03
  that
• 13:03
  I
• 13:03
  talk
• 13:04
  about
• 13:04
  so
• 13:04
  much,
• 13:04
  the
• 13:05
  gain
• 13:05
  means.
• 13:07
  The
• 13:07
  things
• 13:07
  that
• 13:07
  I've
• 13:07
  accomplished
• 13:08
  and
• 13:08
  I've
• 13:08
  gotten
• 13:08
  to
• 13:09
  so
• 13:09
  far,
• 13:09
  the
• 13:09
  habits
• 13:10
  I've
• 13:10
  developed
• 13:11
  right
• 13:11
  now,
• 13:11
  I'm
• 13:11
  really
• 13:11
  proud
• 13:12
  of
• 13:12
  a
• 13:12
  lot
• 13:12
  of
• 13:12
  the
• 13:12
  habits
• 13:12
  I've
• 13:12
  developed.
• 13:13
  I
• 13:13
  drink
• 13:13
  water
• 13:14
  consistently
• 13:14
  every
• 13:15
  day.
• 13:15
  I
• 13:15
  exercise
• 13:16
  almost
• 13:16
  every
• 13:17
  single
• 13:17
  day.
• 13:17
  I'm
• 13:17
  getting
• 13:18
  better
• 13:18
  at
• 13:18
  being
• 13:18
  in
• 13:19
  my
• 13:19
  scriptures
• 13:19
  every
• 13:19
  single
• 13:20
  day
• 13:20
  and
• 13:20
  better
• 13:20
  at
• 13:20
  prayer.
• 13:21
  Am
• 13:21
  I
• 13:22
  perfect
• 13:22
  at
• 13:22
  any
• 13:22
  of
• 13:22
  these
• 13:22
  things?
• 13:23
  Absolutely
• 13:23
  not.
• 13:24
  But
• 13:24
  I'm
• 13:24
  getting
• 13:25
  better
• 13:25
  at
• 13:25
  an
• 13:25
  amount
• 13:25
  of
• 13:25
  place
• 13:26
  where
• 13:26
  I
• 13:26
  can
• 13:26
  just
• 13:27
  enjoy
• 13:27
  how
• 13:27
  far
• 13:28
  I've
• 13:28
  come.
• 13:29
  I'm
• 13:29
  looking
• 13:29
  for
• 13:29
  lots
• 13:30
  of
• 13:30
  fun
• 13:30
  ways
• 13:30
  to
• 13:31
  enjoy
• 13:31
  my
• 13:31
  life
• 13:32
  and
• 13:32
  to
• 13:32
  challenge
• 13:32
  myself.
• 13:33
  But
• 13:33
  I'm
• 13:33
  not
• 13:34
  adding
• 13:34
  more
• 13:34
  to
• 13:34
  my
• 13:35
  plate
• 13:35
  than
• 13:35
  already
• 13:35
  is.
• 13:36
  Now
• 13:37
  you
• 13:37
  might
• 13:37
  have
• 13:37
  a
• 13:38
  propensity
• 13:38
  for
• 13:40
  taking
• 13:40
  things
• 13:40
  a
• 13:40
  little
• 13:40
  slower
• 13:41
  than
• 13:41
  you
• 13:41
  should
• 13:42
  or
• 13:42
  not
• 13:42
  prioritizing
• 13:43
  your
• 13:43
  business
• 13:44
  and
• 13:44
  maybe
• 13:44
  for
• 13:44
  you,
• 13:44
  it's
• 13:45
  going
• 13:45
  to
• 13:45
  look
• 13:45
  a
• 13:45
  little
• 13:45
  bit
• 13:45
  different.
• 13:46
  It's
• 13:46
  going
• 13:46
  to
• 13:46
  look
• 13:46
  like.
• 13:47
  Working,
• 13:47
  even
• 13:48
  when
• 13:48
  you
• 13:48
  don't
• 13:48
  want
• 13:48
  to,
• 13:49
  or
• 13:49
  it's
• 13:49
  going
• 13:49
  to
• 13:49
  look
• 13:49
  like.
• 13:50
  Putting
• 13:50
  aside,
• 13:51
  some
• 13:51
  of
• 13:51
  the
• 13:51
  more
• 13:51
  fun
• 13:52
  ways
• 13:52
  that
• 13:52
  you'd
• 13:52
  like
• 13:52
  to
• 13:52
  buffer
• 13:53
  like
• 13:53
  scrolling
• 13:53
  Instagram
• 13:54
  or.
• 13:55
  Sending
• 13:55
  a
• 13:55
  friend
• 13:56
  a
• 13:56
  message
• 13:56
  instead
• 13:56
  of
• 13:56
  working
• 13:56
  on
• 13:57
  your
• 13:57
  business.
• 13:58
  But
• 13:58
  you
• 13:58
  probably
• 13:59
  already
• 13:59
  know
• 14:00
  your
• 14:00
  mind,
• 14:00
  your
• 14:01
  spirit,
• 14:01
  your
• 14:01
  soul
• 14:01
  is
• 14:01
  probably
• 14:02
  telling
• 14:02
  you
• 14:03
  we
• 14:03
  need
• 14:03
  to
• 14:03
  work
• 14:03
  a
• 14:03
  little
• 14:03
  bit
• 14:03
  better
• 14:04
  at
• 14:04
  this,
• 14:04
  or
• 14:04
  we
• 14:04
  need
• 14:04
  to
• 14:05
  slow
• 14:05
  down
• 14:05
  a
• 14:05
  little
• 14:05
  bit
• 14:06
  more
• 14:06
  in
• 14:06
  this.
• 14:07
  So
• 14:07
  every
• 14:07
  year
• 14:07
  is
• 14:07
  different
• 14:08
  for
• 14:08
  me.
• 14:08
  And
• 14:08
  I
• 14:08
  know
• 14:08
  every
• 14:09
  person
• 14:09
  out
• 14:10
  there
• 14:10
  is
• 14:10
  different.
• 14:11
  So
• 14:11
  I
• 14:12
  challenge
• 14:12
  you
• 14:12
  to
• 14:12
  look
• 14:12
  inwards.
• 14:13
  Ask
• 14:14
  God,
• 14:14
  what
• 14:14
  he
• 14:14
  wants.
• 14:14
  If
• 14:14
  you
• 14:15
  ponder
• 14:15
  about
• 14:16
  it.
• 14:16
  And
• 14:16
  then
• 14:16
  just
• 14:17
  be
• 14:17
  willing
• 14:17
  to
• 14:17
  go
• 14:17
  forward
• 14:18
  with
• 14:18
  faith,
• 14:18
  even
• 14:19
  if
• 14:19
  it
• 14:19
  feels
• 14:19
  scary.
• 14:20
  I'm
• 14:20
  so
• 14:21
  glad
• 14:21
  you're
• 14:21
  here
• 14:21
  on
