1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,760
Alright, welcome to this episode of Technically Short.

2
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:08,080
I'm Thomas.

3
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:09,920
I'm Sean.

4
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:15,600
And this episode we're talking about is Sean's idea.

5
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:16,600
Healthy rejection.

6
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:18,600
Yeah, healthy rejection.

7
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,960
Saying no, we talked about this earlier.

8
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:26,720
It's saying no to the right things, which means you're actually saying no to the wrong

9
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:27,720
thing.

10
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:31,840
It's confusing, but saying no to the right thing is healthy rejection.

11
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:34,400
That's probably even a better way to say it.

12
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,000
I love healthy rejection.

13
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:41,960
But yeah, Sean, so why don't you define that for us?

14
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:42,960
Okay.

15
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:47,480
So normally when we think about rejection, guys, we think of something bad, but like

16
00:00:47,480 --> 00:00:50,760
let me read the definition of rejection.

17
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:56,760
So rejection is the dismiss of inappropriate or not one's taste.

18
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:58,320
That's one definition, right?

19
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:02,720
The other one is to refuse to agree.

20
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:10,840
So to refuse to agree is more what we're talking about because some tastes and stuff like rejection

21
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:14,120
that's like based off of personal opinion, right?

22
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:17,600
But we're talking about is to refuse to agree.

23
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:22,200
What we're saying is refusing to agree to the wrong things.

24
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,000
Sometimes it's a wrong thing.

25
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,880
Sometimes it's a good thing at just at the wrong time.

26
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:32,360
So we're going to dive deeper into that, but that's where I think we're landing the plane.

27
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:33,360
Yeah.

28
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:41,200
I think kind of where you were going with that, Sean, is like rejecting the good and

29
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:45,400
the bad to focus on the great things.

30
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:46,400
Absolutely.

31
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:54,280
And like with me in particular, like just a quick example for me just to put it into

32
00:01:54,280 --> 00:02:02,200
some perspective with my finances, the area where I've had to say no a lot is like going

33
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:10,640
out to eat with people whenever like anytime Sean would ask, just all the time.

34
00:02:10,640 --> 00:02:19,840
I know I know I do everything I can to save money and still be healthy and also be able

35
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:25,680
to pay off my student loans, which in this case is the great thing that I'm working on

36
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:29,040
doing and very close.

37
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:35,600
And so like any all the times I've said no have compounded and added up to me being able

38
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:37,600
to do something great.

39
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,320
Amen.

40
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:48,360
And I think like that's one thing that like I won't go too far into this yet at least,

41
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:53,440
but that's one thing I really think like I would think about this earlier today actually,

42
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:59,960
like God, the greatest power God gave us is the power of choice.

43
00:02:59,960 --> 00:03:00,960
Absolutely.

44
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,280
And that's the greatest power he gave us.

45
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:07,840
And sometimes we choose wrong, sometimes we choose right, but he turns it all out for

46
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:09,320
his good, right?

47
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:19,640
So like we have like we have these choices to be able to reject or like Sean was saying

48
00:03:19,640 --> 00:03:25,160
like not agreeing with not even agreeing even like with our internal what like what our

49
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:31,160
like internal heart soul wants to do, but agreeing with our what maybe our spirit is

50
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:32,160
saying.

51
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:33,160
Absolutely.

52
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:40,200
And okay, I shouldn't be saying I shouldn't be doing this even though I want to even though

53
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,920
it necessarily wouldn't be a bad thing to do.

54
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,680
Other people wouldn't see it as something bad for me to do.

55
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:49,880
There are other people looking outside looking down from the outside in people might even

56
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,000
think it's pretty normal for me to do this.

57
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:58,060
However I know what I'm working towards.

58
00:03:58,060 --> 00:04:01,680
I know what my I know what the spirit is telling me.

59
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:10,600
So why should I focus on what is what is normally done?

60
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:15,880
Or should I focus on the greater choice, the greater option?

61
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:16,880
That makes sense?

62
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:17,880
It makes sense.

63
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:19,680
Definitely makes sense.

64
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:25,760
And I feel like that that right there what you were talking about, that is the refuse

65
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:26,760
to agree.

66
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:31,600
And I think that's so important because there's times in life your friends will be like, hey,

67
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,160
let's, let's go out.

68
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,680
But you know, you need to study for your tests.

69
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:42,840
There will be times in life where you there's a relationship, but you're not ready for that

70
00:04:42,840 --> 00:04:43,840
relationship yet.

71
00:04:43,840 --> 00:04:50,280
So you have to refuse to agree or God's telling you that relationship specifically, that she's

72
00:04:50,280 --> 00:04:53,800
not spiritually equipped enough to date you.

73
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,180
So you should need to refuse to agree.

74
00:04:56,180 --> 00:05:02,240
There's times where healthy rejection is needed and if we don't apply rejection in a healthy

75
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:07,600
way and we only think about it being negative, then we'll accept and approve everything that

76
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:08,600
is not for us.

77
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:09,600
Right.

78
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:13,320
And I want to touch on that relationship thing again real quick because I liked that.

79
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:14,320
I really did.

80
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:21,760
I think like whenever it comes to relationships, like it happens, it doesn't happen a lot,

81
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:23,440
but sometimes the girls ask guys out.

82
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:24,440
Yeah.

83
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:31,200
I don't know if they call that much, but when it does happen, the guy, like me in particular,

84
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,200
I don't, I don't date a lot.

85
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,720
I'm not like a, I'm not like maybe that will change.

86
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,720
Maybe that changes one day after this episode.

87
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:40,720
Yeah.

88
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:44,840
I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't need to go do a full definition what that means for

89
00:05:44,840 --> 00:05:52,240
me, but the, I don't date a lot in general my whole life, you know, but like the saying

90
00:05:52,240 --> 00:06:00,640
no to like saying no to somebody because it like wouldn't be good for either of you or

91
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:10,240
also saying, also saying no to yourself about a thing, no to yourself about, I was just

92
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:17,760
talking about this Andrew the other day, like saying no to yourself about a girl who maybe

93
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:24,880
you think is attractive and stuff, but when, but not just when I say like ignore me, like

94
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:31,120
maybe she means your criteria of being a Christian is good looking, but like throwback, but yeah,

95
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,480
but the, uh, that was one of those healthy rejections I had to reject.

96
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:35,480
Right.

97
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:41,120
But yeah, you just, like it might not be a good, it might not be necessarily on the surface

98
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:46,680
look bad, but internally you're not, you're like, yeah, there's something, God's got something

99
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:48,280
better out there for me.

100
00:06:48,280 --> 00:06:49,280
Absolutely.

101
00:06:49,280 --> 00:06:50,280
Yeah.

102
00:06:50,280 --> 00:06:52,280
And that's my, not even being saying anything about the person.

103
00:06:52,280 --> 00:06:55,440
It might just be like, yeah, I, there's somebody else out there for me.

104
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,960
That's might be a better fit.

105
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:07,160
And um, actually, uh, coming down to this, I think that some people might be thinking,

106
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:11,480
like, how do you know what to reject?

107
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:13,880
Oh, that's good.

108
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,080
Ah, I love that.

109
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:19,880
That honestly is a good question.

110
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:23,720
I feel like me and Thomas were talking about earlier.

111
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:29,200
So some things you have to like work out and you get to figure out who you are and more

112
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,040
about knowing yourself.

113
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:32,640
You're able to reject some things.

114
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:38,760
Like we were talking about earlier that, um, like for instance, the study thing, right?

115
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:43,820
Some people are okay to just be out all night and then still pass their test.

116
00:07:43,820 --> 00:07:44,920
Other people are not.

117
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:48,980
So like some people need that eight hours before a test.

118
00:07:48,980 --> 00:07:52,280
So that would be like one of those things where you have to know yourself.

119
00:07:52,280 --> 00:08:00,680
But then there's times where we should just know this is not, um, the right thing to do.

120
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:08,840
And by that is like, by that healthy rejection, you need God in your, to discern like where

121
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:10,760
you're going to go.

122
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:16,080
And sometimes if you can't feel God, your alignment should be what Thomas said.

123
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:20,560
I love this where he said like your stomach should be aligned with God.

124
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:29,200
So that way, like, um, how did you say it was so your gut, your, your gut, your gut

125
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:30,200
filling, right?

126
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:35,680
It was really like, uh, I'll say like, tell you what, like this is from a pastor, pastor

127
00:08:35,680 --> 00:08:38,040
Ed who he said, we love you, pastor.

128
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,960
We have to have him on the show at some point cause we shout him out so much.

129
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:41,960
I think he said that.

130
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:51,600
I think he mentioned that to me, but, uh, but, uh, it was that let me think about it.

131
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:56,080
If I'm truly aligned with Christ, if I don't know what, what I'm supposed to do, if I don't

132
00:08:56,080 --> 00:09:05,040
know what God's telling me and I know though that I'm aligned with Christ, then my gut

133
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,600
inadvertently would be aligned with him too.

134
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:12,440
So if I listen, if I, and I've done this since then, I've done this a lot and just kind of

135
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:17,480
sat down and like, what's my gut telling me in this situation whenever I'm not sure.

136
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:25,560
And like, I would say 9.5 times out of 10, if not full 10 out of 10 times my, my gut

137
00:09:25,560 --> 00:09:32,440
and my initial feeling, like that's initially, that's purely like without emotion, how, like

138
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:38,120
how I, I, how the, how the core of me believes I should move.

139
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:42,760
And so that's the direction I move and it's worked out.

140
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:48,680
And if I've gone against that feeling, like it does not work out in my favor.

141
00:09:48,680 --> 00:09:56,240
So I think that for me, that's whenever you're not sure what you reject, whenever it's not

142
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,240
obvious.

143
00:09:58,240 --> 00:09:59,240
It's not for every stage.

144
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:02,720
Like sure, every situation your gut's going to be in play, but some situations you won't

145
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:04,600
need to go that deep into yourself.

146
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,760
Like some situations are going to be very obvious.

147
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:16,280
Like whenever sin is involved, whenever, whenever you might go to that website and you know that

148
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:20,440
you want to, you know you want to, you've never done it before, you know plenty of other

149
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:25,440
people do it and, but you know it'd be bad for you.

150
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:26,440
Right.

151
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,960
Or you know, you know it's bad in general.

152
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:34,320
And that, that goes for like, I would go that go even deeper onto that.

153
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:45,160
That would be like, if you know that you can't go to a bar without drinking and going crazy

154
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,320
and sleeping with somebody, then you shouldn't go to the bar.

155
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,200
Like that's where healthy rejection comes in.

156
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:51,200
Right.

157
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:56,000
So it's like learning what you can do and what you can't do.

158
00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:02,320
If you know that you got a wife, that if you get a phone number from a lady that you're

159
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:07,760
going to be texting her inappropriately, then you should not get a girl's phone number when

160
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:08,760
you have a wife.

161
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:09,760
Period.

162
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:14,920
It's just like you're learning yourself enough to know like these are the things I can't

163
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:15,920
do.

164
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:22,320
These are the things I can't do because the things I can't do is going to bring me beneath

165
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:24,280
what God's called me for.

166
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,720
The things I can't do are going to cause me to sin.

167
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:35,160
The things I can't do are going to destroy my calling, purpose, family, community.

168
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:39,120
Those are type of things where you got to know healthy rejection.

169
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:43,520
This is where it comes down and why it's so important is because you have to know yourself

170
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:50,440
to know what you're capable of and anything that is going to take you away from God is

171
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:54,800
an automatic rejection.

172
00:11:54,800 --> 00:12:01,080
Yeah that's really good.

173
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:02,080
I had something.

174
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:08,520
I started writing a word, I wrote how and then I did not write anything else.

175
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:13,560
I got lost in thought.

176
00:12:13,560 --> 00:12:20,720
I know I wanted to kind of give another personal example.

177
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:27,000
So I wanted to touch back on what I was talking about before about my personal example of

178
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:32,520
saying no because I wanted to save money so I could pay off my student loans.

179
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:39,440
In the moment of doing those things sometimes it felt like it sucked because I wanted to

180
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:40,640
be social.

181
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:45,560
I wanted to see like in those moments like maybe that wasn't the only opportunity to

182
00:12:45,560 --> 00:12:52,640
be social but me in my mind I was like well either I do that, go home and do this and

183
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:56,680
sometimes I'll figure out a different plan but like sometimes though regardless like

184
00:12:56,680 --> 00:13:03,960
sometimes like whenever you have to be making the right choice is not easy and it's not

185
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:08,560
fun a lot of the time.

186
00:13:08,560 --> 00:13:16,240
And I don't want to say the majority of the time but I would say I will.

187
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:17,240
Majority is fair.

188
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:18,240
Majority is fair.

189
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:19,240
Yeah majority.

190
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:27,360
But like making but you know though after the fact when you get further down the road

191
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:34,480
and you can look back and you can sit there and actually be proud of yourself like you

192
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:43,280
can be like man like sure I could have went out and went out sure I could have I could

193
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:50,760
have spent my money spent my money and bought myself a couple more nice things but I decided

194
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:51,880
not to.

195
00:13:51,880 --> 00:14:02,400
I decided to say I decided to I decided not to I decided to save I decided to not I decided

196
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:08,040
to not stay home by myself because sometimes I can feel uncomfortable you know then making

197
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:13,600
the decision to I'm going to shift like making the decision instead of being antisocial to

198
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:24,640
be social because making the right decision making the right decision isn't always it's

199
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:32,880
like very in a lot of situations like we're already talking about like it's doesn't feel

200
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,200
good but it's for your good.

201
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:36,200
Absolutely.

202
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:39,240
It's like you there's a feeling you had like maybe I should be doing this maybe I should

203
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:45,480
go out and do this more maybe I should like this is one thing I tell people a lot like

204
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:49,280
if you if you're part of a church like amplify and you haven't joined a small group yet

205
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:53,840
then you need to get in one because you need community in your life.

206
00:14:53,840 --> 00:15:00,280
And if you're like me who it who is like somebody that like spends a lot of time by themselves

207
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:09,800
just that's kind of like the road my life took me on has taken me on like then like

208
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:14,000
you really need community and you need to make that choice and that's a choice that

209
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:17,680
you need to make and maybe that's the decision there's this I know there's a decision in

210
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:21,120
like this is directly to the listener.

211
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:27,440
They know there's a decision in your life right now that you've keep putting off because

212
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:36,000
it's an uncomfortable decision to make but you know inevitably it would be a good decision

213
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:41,520
and it may be a decision that you have to do over and over and over again like saying

214
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:42,520
no to the doughnut.

215
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:54,440
Say it's when you go to church on Sunday like the more the same thing applies the more if

216
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:59,920
you feel like you need to get healthier and you want to go to the gym or actually you

217
00:15:59,920 --> 00:16:03,160
don't want to go to the gym you like let's be real you don't want to go to the gym you

218
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:09,500
want to stay at home and be comfortable being yourself but you know you need to get healthier.

219
00:16:09,500 --> 00:16:16,420
So do you do what's uncomfortable or do you stay do you say no you reject what you want

220
00:16:16,420 --> 00:16:26,480
to do and essentially confront yourself and say no I actually will go out and do the uncomfortable

221
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:28,920
because that's going to make me better.

222
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:32,120
That's so good.

223
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:36,600
Honestly where I am I'm going to touch on that that is perfect.

224
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:43,120
What Thomas is talking about is healthy rejection at its finest and when that happens it leads

225
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:48,160
to discipline and it leads to self-control and it you know what's really good about those

226
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:56,360
two things on the other side of all the things you're rejecting is your goals your dreams

227
00:16:56,360 --> 00:17:02,760
your achievements and it all happens when you have self-control and when you reject

228
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:04,920
things that you should.

229
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:14,360
Honestly sometimes my biggest financially is rejecting small things right.

230
00:17:14,360 --> 00:17:16,580
All these small things add up for me.

231
00:17:16,580 --> 00:17:24,800
If I could reject all this stuff that I normally do on a daily basis I'd have a lot more finances.

232
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:34,760
I've had a lot of wise people like Pat Williams, Brandon, Pastor Ed, Thomas, my sister Shamira,

233
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:44,440
a lot of wise people tell me to do better with my finances and honestly my biggest issue

234
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:51,400
is finances because I don't reject enough stuff that like most of them do because they

235
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:57,360
have such great discipline and such self-control on that area.

236
00:17:57,360 --> 00:18:02,940
Like spiritually I'm good at rejecting a lot of things spiritually but when I get like

237
00:18:02,940 --> 00:18:09,280
pride fall I fall of course because I'm not perfect so anytime I think I'm like the man

238
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:15,480
and forget who God is is where I fall and that's what happened to me recently at work

239
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:21,320
where that while I'm in a new area a new job and stuff it's because I let the pride get

240
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:27,600
to me and the enemy gets you when he lets that fall and so like rejection if I would

241
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:32,600
have just been on my normal rejection level I would have helpfully rejected the thing

242
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:38,920
they got me fired and it wasn't nothing criminal or nothing stupid it was just something that

243
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:39,920
was very stupid.

244
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:45,040
It wasn't anything criminal or something stupid it was just something stupid.

245
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:49,680
Yeah it was just something stupid.

246
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:50,680
Oh man.

247
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:51,680
No.

248
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:52,680
That's good right?

249
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:53,680
Yeah.

250
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:54,680
Are you done?

251
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:55,680
Yeah.

252
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:58,680
Okay sorry I didn't want to be like are you done talking to me?

253
00:18:58,680 --> 00:18:59,680
No I'm not.

254
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:00,680
No but uh.

255
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:01,680
No.

256
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:06,360
I think like acknowledging those things is good.

257
00:19:06,360 --> 00:19:07,360
Right?

258
00:19:07,360 --> 00:19:11,280
Acknowledging what you've done wrong so that you can then do right.

259
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:21,200
Like and actually like that's a actually a huge step because if I feel like people know

260
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:27,640
inwardly like inwardly like what they're doing like I felt like the whole time you knew like

261
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:31,840
every time you made a small transaction you're like man what would people are going to be

262
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:35,640
so mad at me right now because they knew I was doing this.

263
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:37,560
I know.

264
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:42,840
And like you know it you know like oh I shouldn't be doing this but you did it anyway and now

265
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:45,800
you're actually acknowledging it and be like yeah actually maybe I should listen to that

266
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:47,040
voice in my head.

267
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:48,040
Yeah.

268
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:51,520
And that happened so much to everybody.

269
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,440
Like maybe and that's your gut.

270
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:58,720
That's the spirit in you being like hey what are you doing?

271
00:19:58,720 --> 00:19:59,720
Knock that off.

272
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:07,000
Like I get that that's not really necessarily a bad thing but it's leading to a bad thing.

273
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:08,000
True.

274
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:09,000
You eat too.

275
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:10,000
You eat.

276
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:15,960
I don't know Twinkies are bad but I just saw a picture of Twinkies a little bit ago.

277
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:23,720
But donuts taste good but you have a hundred of them and you have to eat one every day.

278
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:24,720
Three every day.

279
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:27,720
Probably going to get fat.

280
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:28,720
Yep.

281
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:29,720
Which isn't good.

282
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:37,160
But now I want to touch on actually your what you said what you were talking about about

283
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:38,720
your finances earlier.

284
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:39,720
Yeah.

285
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:45,240
Because I would because I think like personally I feel like that's why you and I are one of

286
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:47,120
the reasons why you and I are roommates.

287
00:20:47,120 --> 00:20:48,120
Yeah by God.

288
00:20:48,120 --> 00:20:49,120
Like God's designed.

289
00:20:49,120 --> 00:20:53,880
Yeah we've already talked about how we lined up.

290
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,880
The divine appointment.

291
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:57,880
Yeah.

292
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:05,360
I agree with that.

293
00:21:05,360 --> 00:21:11,840
And by the like you like you teach me some things to say no to and some well you actually

294
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:13,520
teach me more things to say yes to.

295
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:16,560
So I have to say no to this to be honest.

296
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:20,720
But the main thing you teach me the main thing you taught me just by being around you is

297
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:22,720
how to be more social.

298
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:26,000
Because you are like whenever you're around people you're the social butterfly.

299
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:27,760
I saw God then.

300
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:31,280
And like I'm not.

301
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:32,280
And I'm OK with that.

302
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:33,280
But you know way better.

303
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:36,520
Like I'm way better than I used to be.

304
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:43,240
And like and I but I blame you know it's necessarily a bad thing like I can blame that on you and

305
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:47,680
on you and other other people in my other good people in my life.

306
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:52,720
I watch and I admire the certain things about them.

307
00:21:52,720 --> 00:22:00,200
And like with with me to you like I know I'm pretty good with my finances managing my money.

308
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:07,560
And like that's one area where I feel like being around you enough kind of being around

309
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:10,880
you enough and also you being around other people who are good with our finances.

310
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:17,040
But enough people have planted enough seeds that eventually they took a little bit of

311
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:18,040
a root.

312
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:19,040
Yeah.

313
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:21,240
I would I would say so for sure.

314
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:22,240
And.

315
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:25,440
So like again I think that happens with anything.

316
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,840
I want to do a whole episode about planting seeds.

317
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:29,840
That's something huge.

318
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:30,840
I really want to talk about that.

319
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:35,600
I think it was a great episode for sure.

320
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:40,600
But like whenever I talked about that the image in my head that popped up was.

321
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:49,240
Like a pile of like a giant pile of seeds and like them being blown away by the wind.

322
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:55,080
And then there's a couple that get left behind.

323
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:56,080
That's fair.

324
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:59,440
That's the image that popped up in my head.

325
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:01,080
And like it's not the bash you.

326
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:02,360
It's just what's been happening.

327
00:23:02,360 --> 00:23:05,280
You're not wrong.

328
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:09,800
We have a lot of people who are great in finances have been like giving me wisdom.

329
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:15,680
And at the time I was just like I was the hard ground I would say.

330
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:19,760
Where the Bible talks about like the hard ground where the seeds just get put on the

331
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:23,160
ground and it wouldn't go inside the ground so they get blown away.

332
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:27,320
So like your analogy would be spot on.

333
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:28,320
Yeah.

334
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:29,320
Yeah.

335
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:35,800
When blown away crows picking it up you know.

336
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:36,800
But the.

337
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:40,000
I don't know I feel like.

338
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:43,480
I think that's a good place to end the episode.

339
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:44,480
I mean it's a good episode.

340
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:46,840
Yeah I feel like this was a great.

341
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:47,840

00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:48,840
This is these.

343
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:50,880
I feel like these keep getting better and better.

344
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:51,880
Honestly.

345
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:52,880

346
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:53,880
