723 00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:15,000 Because it doesn't matter if they abandon you, if they hit you, if they like you, if 724 00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:19,840 they abuse you, whatever they did, they did the best for you. 725 00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:22,320 They didn't have a manual to raise you. 726 00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:25,440 Number two, you need to forgive your inner child. 727 00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:26,600 Why your inner child?

734 00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:44,640 When you forgive your parents, your inner child, and the people that came to your life to harm 735 00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:46,400 you, you're not forgiving them. 736 00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:48,160 You're forgiving yourself. 737 00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:53,120 In that moment, when you forgive, you open your heart and you throw away all the hate, 738 00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:59,240 all the resentment, and all the poisons that later will become cancer and other sicknesses. 739 00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:03,400 And from that moment, it's like you have a balloon with a string and you cut the balloon. 740 00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:04,920 The string and you let the balloon go. 741 00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:05,920 You're free. 742 00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:11,040 And in that moment, it's when Jesus told me, just start leaving your purpose because everybody 743 00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:12,760 came to earth with a purpose. 744 00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:14,160 And what is your purpose? 745 00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:15,160 It's really simple. 746 00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:17,320 It's the only thing that you know. 747 00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:20,600 You do better than anybody else. 748 00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:22,920 Everybody on earth have a gift. 749 00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:24,640 Some people cook amazes, some people don't. 750 00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:27,200 It's amazes, some people that are good with gardening. 751 00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:28,200 Everybody have a gift. 752 00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:33,000 But he said, if you don't want to do that gift, the second gift is called service. 753 00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:34,600 Why service? 754 00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:38,080 Because when you die, you're not taking your money. 755 00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:39,560 You're not taking your titles. 756 00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:42,480 You're not taking your house, your car, your Bitcoin. 757 00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:47,600 The only thing that you're going to take with you is how many people you help on earth?
