  Welcome to Live from your heart. I'm your host,
• 0:21
  Les Paul Klein. For three
• 0:25
  decades of my life, I lived trying
• 0:31
  to get others approval,
• 0:34
  not the truth. I lived to be accepted.
• 0:40
  But I wasn't real, authentic. And what did it
• 0:44
  cost me? Pieces of myself. Over and over.
• 0:48
  I didn't realize I was even losing those pieces.
• 0:53
  This podcast, it's for anyone who knows deep down that
• 0:57
  they've been living someone else's version of their life.
• 1:03
  And they're ready, you're ready
• 1:07
  to come home to your own heart and be real
• 1:11
  and be authentic. Doesn't matter how old you are,
• 1:15
  doesn't matter how long you've been doing this,
• 1:19
  it's possible to reclaim your own
• 1:22
  heart. So every week we're going to talk about reclaiming
• 1:26
  that identity and healing old patterns and finding courage again. And finally
• 1:31
  living from the truest and most grounded place inside of you,
• 1:35
  your heart. This isn't therapy, it's not self
• 1:39
  help. It's just a real huge invitation for you to
• 1:44
  come and learn how to live a real life from
• 1:49
  your own heart. So let's jump in.
• 1:59
  I made a conscious decision,
• 2:03
  a conscious decision to stop pretending.
• 2:11
  And I have to frame it in this way so
• 2:16
  that you can grasp my thought.
• 2:20
  It was courage, but it wasn't loud.
• 2:24
  It was quiet. But I chose not
• 2:30
  to pretend anymore. I was no longer Leslie
• 2:34
  Paul, the boy named
• 2:39
  after girl. Now I'm
• 2:43
  Les Paul, the man who
• 2:48
  has lowered his mass and
• 2:52
  he's living from his own heart.
• 2:56
  That's tough for a lot of people to accept,
• 3:01
  but I did that. Hey,
• 3:05
  this is Les Paul. Welcome to another
• 3:09
  installment on Live from your heart podcast.
• 3:15
  If you followed along with the other episodes,
• 3:19
  one kind of would have formed.
• 3:23
  Now I'm kind of new to this a year from
• 3:27
  now, completely different when that and how I'm tying them
• 3:31
  together. But right now, this is what God has put in front
• 3:36
  of me. Putting in front of you. Good, bad,
• 3:40
  indifferent. It is what it is. I don't
• 3:45
  care if one person hears it. There are a hundred thousand people here.
• 3:50
  I was compelled to live for my heart. Now in compelled
• 3:55
  to tell me a story about aggravating. And I've
• 3:59
  had many people ask me, can you
• 4:03
  teach me what should happen?
• 4:06
  So. So I do that.
• 4:10
  Today we're talking about courage.
• 4:15
  Courage, as I said, is choosing not to
• 4:19
  pretend. So I took the mask off. I didn't pretend,
• 4:22
  pretend to be a future, pretend to be that preacher
• 4:27
  boy that my parents called me to do. The wrath of
• 4:31
  my parents was heavy. And I will say this that don't
• 4:37
  take your swim like things. But perhaps it was a blessing for
• 4:41
  my father that he never really grasped
• 4:45
  my decisions because he had a stroke
• 4:49
  and he was never himself again.
• 4:54
  And my mother did know that. She really embraced
• 5:00
  it. She accepted it because she couldn't change it.
• 5:04
  But anytime I
• 5:08
  visited her in her little church in Slayton, Texas, where she
• 5:12
  lived out the rest of her life after dad passed,
• 5:18
  she always wanted me to sing. She had an inroad with the preacher.
• 5:21
  So I always had to sing if I was
• 5:25
  there. And I have a niece that's the pianist at that church. So we always
• 5:29
  had a good time. I was dead or full courage.
• 5:35
  Courage. Here's what it looks like.
• 5:41
  It's felt as long as did
• 5:45
  I know I was taking my mask off when I did not
• 5:49
  really. I didn't really know what it meant. I just
• 5:53
  knew that I didn't like the co
• 5:57
  that I created. I didn't want to be in that culture.
• 6:04
  Asked me he
• 6:09
  been coming to our church for a short period of time.
• 6:13
  Started this church.
• 6:16
  He just had a lot smoke.
• 6:19
  We said, tell me why you use. A different
• 6:23
  version of the Bible in those
• 6:27
  days I used the new King James.
• 6:32
  That was a transition for me because the
• 6:37
  old King James was real and.
• 6:42
  True. And this guy had a new American standard.
• 6:47
  And we talked about various scriptures
• 6:53
  and I looked at this guy, his name is Bob.
• 6:57
  He was actually a real new believer
• 7:02
  and his wife wasn't yet a believer.
• 7:07
  And I said, you know Bob,
• 7:10
  I really don't have an argument for why I
• 7:15
  have to use this one version. I said I
• 7:19
  could give you the pitch that I will give them, but I
• 7:24
  don't think it's going to matter. We truthfully
• 7:29
  didn't. No buzzing but that was a small yes
• 7:33
  of co to my own. Well, I know some of you are long really
• 7:38
  well, you didn't know what I came to remember
• 7:43
  Fundamental independent Baptist legalism.
• 7:48
  Hey, my mother didn't want to care dependence at all.
• 7:51
  My dad didn't pass for church. She wore a skirt
• 7:55
  all the time. Was that odd that even
• 7:59
  my pair of shorts.
• 8:03
  Yes, you heard me say that.
• 8:06
  Okay, courage is a small yes,
• 8:11
  it's a small no.
• 8:15
  It may just be one honest sentence. And for me that's
• 8:19
  how it had to start because my entire
• 8:24
  war over time was completely
• 8:29
  dissimated.
• 8:33
  It had a huge impact.
• 8:38
  And I'll be honest with you,
• 8:43
  they did recover.
• 8:47
  Wilderness never recovered in the probability one
• 8:52
  of them has recovered. But one
• 8:57
  honest search for me and a boundary I
• 9:02
  set those boundaries even though they were smaller that's what
• 9:07
  clearance became how it became in my wolf
• 9:12
  this may feel a little fragmented and then I popped back and forth
• 9:19
  it was scary because I didn't know what would happen next and
• 9:25
  it's it was really scary. There was a moment in my life and
• 9:30
  I reflected backward and administrative
• 9:34
  opportunity was in front of me some years and
• 9:39
  after this all took place. And.
• 9:43
  I was a volunteer on a seamless
• 9:46
  ministry that I actually launched and started my clinics farms life
• 9:51
  and the body of the church offered me
• 9:56
  a stack was issued and I said
• 9:59
  one caveat I'll do this but
• 10:04
  I don't want to pay it I keep my full time job in my personals
• 10:08
  I want to tie this to
• 10:12
  money which was a wise decision Coach
• 10:17
  balance I love so
• 10:22
  here's something that I want you to grasp. How do we misunderstand
• 10:26
  Coach Dramatic.
• 10:33
  We. Think it has to have drama and
• 10:37
  we think it's bold. Doesn't have to be we
• 10:42
  think it requires confidence. Well it
• 10:46
  doesn't just move forward just
• 10:51
  means yes and no I hope
• 10:57
  and. It doesn't have to be. We wouldn't have to make a
• 11:01
  big place to work for it now a lot of people do that.
• 11:07
  Your point is quiet. It's kind
• 11:10
  of like you could have a neighbor
• 11:15
  or someone that you're connected to that has served and specialize
• 11:20
  in the military. This guy's quiet and
• 11:25
  seren been a part of special
• 11:29
  apps support community divorces wall
• 11:33
  here active and
• 11:41
  I met a bunch of special ops guys only seen
• 11:45
  by its courage. Those guys have courage larger
• 11:50
  than life that they actually never assume that's who they
• 11:54
  were. That's real courage. Real courage
• 11:59
  is from heart. Okay.
• 12:02
  It comes from the truth that you begin
• 12:06
  to uncover and you begin to see.
• 12:11
  It comes from alignment of your own heart. It comes from
• 12:15
  being safe to do so. I stress that infallibly
• 12:22
  you can't have courage in an unsafe environment.
• 12:26
  You can't be who you really are and live from the
• 12:30
  long if you are in a
• 12:34
  culture that does nothing but judging you,
• 12:38
  you can't survive in that culture.
• 12:43
  It comes from within own truth.
• 12:47
  Your own desire to arrive. Okay.
• 12:51
  With your head in your mind ask yourself the
• 12:55
  question when we get silent and this is what stalls guys.
• 12:59
  Silence. As Danielle did.
• 13:03
  Just pull it. Can we see? It's the pause.
• 13:06
  Just pause out. You can get free. You don't have to buy one and
• 13:11
  always purchase apps. This is free.
• 13:14
  It's got past. It's super real.
• 13:17
  There's a lot else to it these days. Continues to grow. But the
• 13:21
  bottom line isn't paths push past. Yes, sir.
• 13:25
  Courage comes from listening.
• 13:29
  It comes from your choice.
• 13:32
  Comes from you being safe to
• 13:36
  face it. You have to have a safe environment to do it.
• 13:41
  And you have to practice this. Yeah.
• 13:46
  You've got a term. I choose truth over
• 13:51
  the metal, the country. Let me. Let me help you
• 13:55
  understand what I mean by the nut. How? I've used this illustration a thousand times,
• 13:59
  but I raised pigs.
• 14:03
  Short pigs was one of my four H projects.
• 14:08
  Ronnie and I always raised
• 14:12
  Yorkshires for white purebirds. You survived.
• 14:17
  But did you know that the whitest pig could get
• 14:21
  the dirtiest and the stinkiest as soon as
• 14:25
  you turn him back into the mud hole? After you
• 14:29
  clean him up and washed him and put my baby powder and shelled him in
• 14:33
  his other room, you put them back in the spring. All these together,
• 14:36
  those wows in the mud, that's what we do. It's confused now that we
• 14:40
  keep going back to him and how we
• 14:46
  know what to expect. Even though it could be bad. You hide.
• 14:49
  Then we keep hiding behind the mask for the top blood on the
• 14:53
  last podcast because it's comfortable, right?
• 14:57
  The unknown is our courage. Some of you
• 15:01
  are being faced with being courageous. We're being
• 15:05
  faced with living from our own.
• 15:09
  And you think about that. You're going to have to
• 15:13
  choose the truth, whatever says for your comfort.
• 15:18
  Okay? If you're going to live
• 15:22
  for more and more gives it twice.
• 15:26
  That's going to cost you some comfort.
• 15:32
  And you're going to have to choose. Alignment is
• 15:37
  wrong. Other people's approvals.
• 15:49
  A lot of people can't live that
• 15:53
  Others approved. They've got to be approved.
• 15:57
  They move the accolades. Look at Facebook.
• 16:06
  In the everyday mid your accolades. They want
• 16:10
  your emojis, they want your love comments, your like comments,
• 16:15
  your raw white comments. They live for
• 16:19
  that. That's why they're there.
• 16:22
  That's what drives them. So I
• 16:27
  think Facebook was a good thing in the world because I think it's just always
• 16:32
  I use it to connect to people and
• 16:36
  to get my story out. And I try to avoid it.
• 16:40
  Otherwise I'm answering people if I ask
• 16:44
  questions. There's not a lot of scorn
• 16:48
  going these days. As they say,
• 16:51
  courage must have
• 16:55
  truth. Courage must have alignment.
• 17:00
  If you're ready to be courageous and
• 17:05
  pull the mask down, you come
• 17:09
  join my channel. Come join the journey
• 17:13
  of living forever. It's a journey,
• 17:17
  folks. Are you ready for the journey?
• 17:20
  It will cost. It will cost.
• 17:25
  But if you keep going back to the mud hunt,
• 17:30
  if you keep pretending to be someone you want to.
• 17:35
  If you keep doing the things you
• 17:39
  know you shouldn't do,
• 17:44
  looking in the environment you're in,
• 17:47
  staying in a relationship you shouldn't be in.
• 17:52
  Yeah, just quiet.
• 17:59
  There are there is a link in my show notes that
• 18:03
