1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,360
Hey guys, how's it going?

2
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:11,360
Welcome to this episode of the Pursuit of Calling podcast with me, your host, Thomas

3
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:12,760
Carney.

4
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:20,120
This is the August recap episode where I get to give you some go over some of the previous

5
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:27,040
topics of the month and in case you missed them and some life updates.

6
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:32,160
So guys, if you're interested in my life, you know, listen to the episode and I'll see

7
00:00:32,160 --> 00:00:33,160
in there.

8
00:00:33,160 --> 00:00:36,240
But before we dive in, I want to ask you to send me a message.

9
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:42,160
If you have any questions or you want me to talk on a particular topic or you just want

10
00:00:42,160 --> 00:00:47,920
to say some encouraging words, you can do so on Instagram or via the email that is listed

11
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:50,440
in the show notes of this episode.

12
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:51,480
Thank you and let's dive in.

13
00:00:51,480 --> 00:00:58,320
All right, guys, let's get into it.

14
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:04,440
So I'm trying a new little bit of a new format, a little bit more of a structured format for

15
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:06,940
these monthly recaps.

16
00:01:06,940 --> 00:01:11,740
So I have one thing that Don Marasco gave me after we were done recording was to go

17
00:01:11,740 --> 00:01:15,240
over a couple of the previous episodes from this month.

18
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:18,840
So in case you missed them, you can go back and listen to them and I will talk about the

19
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:24,720
main topics I liked about them and give you some life updates, some health updates, how

20
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:26,720
I've grown in the last month.

21
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:33,140
And then if we have time, I'd like to talk about how I plan to improve moving forward

22
00:01:33,140 --> 00:01:35,460
into next month.

23
00:01:35,460 --> 00:01:44,300
So let's dive in to a little bit of a recap of the couple of last episodes from the pursuit

24
00:01:44,300 --> 00:01:46,340
of calling podcast.

25
00:01:46,340 --> 00:01:52,000
So staying joyful on the journey was the first episode from this month.

26
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:56,520
Again, if you haven't listened to it, you can go back and let's do it after this one,

27
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,440
of course.

28
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:04,640
And I talked about how I stay joyful on this journey of pursuing my calling while living

29
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:09,440
with the chronic pain condition, muscular dystonia.

30
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:17,880
And that's obviously applicable to anybody's life, not the exactly muscular dystonia, obviously,

31
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:23,760
but living with pain, living with struggles in your life and how you stay joyful in those

32
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:30,400
joyful, in spite of those struggles.

33
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:34,820
Like I said, like I know that there is a lot I said, like I say joyful because I know there

34
00:02:34,820 --> 00:02:36,700
is a larger purpose on my life.

35
00:02:36,700 --> 00:02:39,680
And that doesn't stop because of my circumstances.

36
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:46,120
Joy is an internal response of how we choose to respond to external circumstances.

37
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:54,880
So really look at your circumstances, look at where you're not joyful, when you're not

38
00:02:54,880 --> 00:03:01,080
joyful, figure out why you're not joyful, and figure out how you can really turn that

39
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:09,200
internal response to express more joy to the external circumstance.

40
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:13,480
And listening to that episode, hopefully it will help you do that.

41
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:21,540
So and then in the last episode, I was talking with Cole Zimmerman where we, it was called

42
00:03:21,540 --> 00:03:26,600
as Cole Zimmerman calling the creatives knowledge versus wisdom.

43
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:30,400
Whatever you, we talked about how like whatever you want to do, you can't just research it

44
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:35,000
and then think, you know what you're doing, you have to take action.

45
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,920
So that's where that's the knowledge versus wisdom piece.

46
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:43,560
Like Cole talked about doing research for the best cameras or computers to use to be

47
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:48,880
able to take the best, thinking that you'll be able to take even better pictures and that'll

48
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:54,800
make you a more professional photographer if you get better tools.

49
00:03:54,800 --> 00:04:00,380
But then said that if you don't know how to actually use them by using them and you know,

50
00:04:00,380 --> 00:04:05,800
messing up and trying again, then you really aren't going to get anywhere.

51
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,000
You have to take action.

52
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,760
That is the knowledge versus wisdom piece.

53
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:19,440
The knowledge is just the like the just knowing that the same information, knowing the information

54
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:25,240
and wisdom is applying knowing how to apply the information practically.

55
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:30,680
And that's going to take not knowing exactly how it's going to work out exactly how it's

56
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:36,800
going to be after your, after you apply that knowledge, after you applied that knowledge

57
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,580
and then possibly failing, could you imply to incorrectly and then learning from those

58
00:04:40,580 --> 00:04:51,800
mistakes and learning from those mistakes and trying again and your wisdom will grow

59
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:53,760
as you learn from your mistakes.

60
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:58,240
You know, I've said it before, but John Maxwell has, John Maxwell has said and has a book

61
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:02,920
called sometimes you win, sometimes you learn.

62
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:10,720
And like Lee said in his episode, he said, Lee Hanyo said, talk about, he said, sorry,

63
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,420
the only failure is not starting.

64
00:05:13,420 --> 00:05:15,760
So you can know all this stuff.

65
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:22,840
You can, you can have all this head knowledge of everything, but if you don't have the wisdom,

66
00:05:22,840 --> 00:05:25,760
then you really don't know much.

67
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:29,000
I, that, that, that was a little hard hitting.

68
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:33,120
I know, but you know, if you don't, if you don't, if you don't apply the knowledge, then

69
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:34,120
what are you doing?

70
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,600
It's not very, that knowledge kind of useless if you're not applying it.

71
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:42,480
So if you haven't listened to either of those episodes, staying joyful on the journey or

72
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:46,560
Cole Zimmerman's episode, definitely go back and listen to those after you're done with

73
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,960
this one, add them to your queue.

74
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:54,000
Then, okay, so let's dive into a couple of my life updates.

75
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:59,560
So today actually, a little bit after I'm done recording this episode, I'm going to

76
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:04,360
be going to a bachelor bachelor party because my best friend, Andrew Vergato, which you,

77
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:10,880
which has w who was on a couple episodes way back in the beginning of this whole journey

78
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,160
of podcasting for me.

79
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:20,640
He's getting married in October and, and I'm the best man, so that's pretty cool.

80
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:28,520
And I've also learned though, I've been realizing what I really like about planning and the

81
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,160
things I don't like about planning.

82
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,040
And maybe I'll touch on that in a future episode.

83
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:40,360
There's, I, there's some things I just, you know, I was, I didn't do great at some things

84
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:46,760
I know I could have done better on, but overall it's going to be a really fun evening, a really

85
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:52,440
fun day because it's, I'm recording this early in the morning and yeah, it's going to be

86
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:53,440
a good day.

87
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:54,440
I'm really excited.

88
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,760
So if you know, Andrew, just tell him congratulations.

89
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:04,040
If you know his fiance, Alana, definitely reach out to her as well and say congratulations.

90
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,920
And yeah.

91
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:11,800
And I'm not sure if I mentioned, and then another actually cool thing that I didn't

92
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:15,160
mention in the last update, but I don't think so anyway.

93
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,680
But I'm an uncle.

94
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:25,220
My nephew Isaac was born about, I believe two months ago now and he's precious.

95
00:07:25,220 --> 00:07:28,200
He is the best little boy ever.

96
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:32,080
And he, you know, doesn't do much right now.

97
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,640
He's young and all he does is eat, sleep and poop.

98
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,280
But he is great.

99
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:46,760
So my older sister, Amber had him and about again, about two months ago and yeah, her

100
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:52,880
and her husband's life has changed forever and it's really cool to see.

101
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:57,440
So let's move into life, some health updates.

102
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:03,320
My dystonia, as you know that I have, has been progressing to the point where it now

103
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,600
affects my face and sometimes my throat.

104
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,120
So that affects my eating sometimes.

105
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:15,080
It wasn't doing it yesterday, but can affect my eating, my speaking, which is a point you

106
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:19,440
might have, maybe you noticed it and maybe you'll, you will notice it in Don Marasco's

107
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:20,440
episode next month.

108
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:21,440
Ooh, yeah.

109
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:25,120
There's a little bit of a, a little bit of a drop for next month.

110
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:31,480
There's, but yeah, you might notice it toward the end of that episode where my voice sounds

111
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:32,940
a little bit raspy.

112
00:08:32,940 --> 00:08:37,460
It might sound like I'm sick, but I'm not, I'm not sick.

113
00:08:37,460 --> 00:08:43,760
My voice just gets a little bit more gravelly as my, as the muscles in my throat start to

114
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:47,480
contract, which I don't really know how muscles in your throat contract.

115
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:52,500
I never haven't really looked into that, but it essentially seems like my dystonia is starting

116
00:08:52,500 --> 00:08:57,760
to affect all of my muscles in my body, which sounds really, really bad when I say that,

117
00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:58,760
which I mean, it's not great.

118
00:08:58,760 --> 00:08:59,760
It's not fun.

119
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:00,760
It's not good.

120
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:04,240
But like, clearly I'm still in a good mood.

121
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,160
Clearly I'm still having joy on the journey.

122
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:13,160
So my, so like, I, oh, I don't want you to feel bad for me.

123
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:20,320
I would, um, I guess I want, I would love your prayers and for healing, but I would

124
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:27,380
also just like you to see me as some, as like somebody who isn't letting their circumstance

125
00:09:27,380 --> 00:09:29,140
define, define them.

126
00:09:29,140 --> 00:09:32,280
I'm not just a person with muscular dystonia.

127
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:36,080
That's not my, that's not my whole, um, character.

128
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,280
That's not my whole being.

129
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:39,900
I'm not letting it define me.

130
00:09:39,900 --> 00:09:44,480
So that's how I would prefer people see me instead of just, oh man, he's in pain all

131
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:45,480
the time.

132
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,480
Like that's really not helpful.

133
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:54,520
Um, so you know, I'm optimistic.

134
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:59,280
I have plans to move forward in my research and keep looking for things that can help

135
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,480
me improve my quality of life.

136
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:06,160
Whether that be a new environment, supplements, or an extreme diet.

137
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:13,720
My, the one diet I'm looking to go on in the actually nearer future is called the lion

138
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:17,160
diet and it's pretty nuts.

139
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,860
Like it's the, it's the most elimination.

140
00:10:19,860 --> 00:10:23,040
It's like the, the elimination diets of elimination diets.

141
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,440
I've done an elimination diet before, but nothing like this.

142
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,880
This you only eat red meat.

143
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:32,920
Sounds bizarre, but I know I learned about this through Jordan Peterson and his daughter,

144
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:34,320
Michaela Peterson.

145
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:39,080
I know that, um, that whole family, I believe is using the lion diet.

146
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:43,840
They're the people who have kind of constructed it and figured out how that you can survive

147
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:48,640
and actually eliminate a lot of problems by going on this diet and then reusing foods

148
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:56,680
back in at a slow rate to figure out what, um, is affecting you and causing certain things.

149
00:10:56,680 --> 00:11:02,080
I'm just curious if I would go on this diet, if it would help my dyspnea.

150
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:06,320
And I think if you have some crazy goals, like for me is being out of pain, you gotta

151
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:07,760
do some crazy things.

152
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:11,880
So I'm probably going to do the lion diet and I'll keep you guys updated whenever I

153
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,400
do that because I'm kind of excited.

154
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:19,280
It sounds weird, but I'm kind of excited to eat nothing but red meat, eat burgers and

155
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:20,640
steak all the time.

156
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:22,200
That's kind of fun.

157
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:29,600
Um, so now let's dive into how I've grown in the last month.

158
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:33,920
I could, I personally believe that we grow every day.

159
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:42,120
We're growing in some sort of way every day and the best way to grow is intentionally.

160
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:46,280
So I want to tell you guys how I've been intentionally growing this last month and things I've been

161
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,200
noticing about myself.

162
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:53,160
So I've gotten a new surge of motivation within the last month to really pursue what this

163
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:58,840
podcast was started for, you know, providing people with the tools to successfully discover

164
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,760
and pursue their God giving calling.

165
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:05,840
I'm going to be opening up an email list soon and hopefully be able to provide you guys

166
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:07,760
with some more value.

167
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:11,880
The goal is to give you guys a digital resource, maybe some exclusive episodes that you can

168
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:15,560
only get by subscribing to the email list.

169
00:12:15,560 --> 00:12:19,400
So stay tuned for that and get subscribed so you don't miss when that happens.

170
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:23,480
And I'm real, I'm just super excited to start that.

171
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:28,440
I'm also, I've learned a lot about how whenever I am focusing on achieving the goals I've

172
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:33,880
set up for my, before myself, I become a lot more focused and motivated to be more effective

173
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,960
in my day to day life.

174
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:43,040
Like, so like I said, I've had found this new surge of motivation, but I've also found

175
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:49,480
that I've found this new like vigor to just be a better version of myself every single

176
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:56,800
day to make sure I'm living for excellence, even in my work, like my day to day life in

177
00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:02,720
my, in my career as a web and mobile app developer.

178
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:06,640
So work has been going fantastic recently and my coworker and I have been killing it

179
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:10,280
this month with getting work done like we haven't done before.

180
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:18,640
Like I, I, I, I'm pretty sure we've at least added 50% to our output and or throughput,

181
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:20,560
whatever you want to say.

182
00:13:20,560 --> 00:13:22,800
And it's pretty nuts.

183
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,880
Like we've been, we've been killing it.

184
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:30,560
So like, and I know it's not just because, oh, I like, I like, I like, I like develop,

185
00:13:30,560 --> 00:13:38,240
it's not just because I like developing, it's because I really enjoy just not just being

186
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:39,240
productive.

187
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:43,440
I, I love, I love being effective.

188
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,480
I think that's the best way to say it.

189
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:53,240
I love being effective and figuring out ways how I could be more effective and how I can

190
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:57,320
like more effectively work with my coworker.

191
00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:01,480
Like I've been working on some new techniques to get him and I to work more cohesively

192
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:07,480
together, like reaching out to him more and making sure we are staying on the same page

193
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,040
on the, on the features we're creating.

194
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:10,560
And it's definitely been paying off.

195
00:14:10,560 --> 00:14:15,240
I hope I'm mentioning like we make like, I might make an episode because like there's

196
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:19,320
these new techniques, like, like I said, like reaching out to him more sounds obvious, but

197
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:21,440
like we work from remote.

198
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:27,920
So it's harder, it's definitely hard to stay connected with, with a coworker, with people

199
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:31,160
whenever you're 100% remote from them.

200
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:37,360
So, but it's, but I can definitely tell this last month has been, there's been some exponential

201
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:40,480
growth in our relationship.

202
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:47,760
So I'm thinking about making an episode because my boss made a, like a one small tweak to

203
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,880
how him and I, my coworker and I work together.

204
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:54,880
My boss made one small tweak to how our team functions.

205
00:14:54,880 --> 00:15:02,120
And that is, I believe is one of the integral pieces to why we're working so well together.

206
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:06,880
So I'm thinking about making an episode called the one small tweak to work better as a team.

207
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,160
So again, stay tuned for that to get subscribed.

208
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:10,160
Don't miss it.

209
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:13,640
It's probably, probably going to be coming in September.

210
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:16,480
So stay tuned for that.

211
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:22,760
And finally, I'd like to just talk, just to hold myself accountable.

212
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:30,040
I'd like to hold, I'd like to talk about how I plan to improve moving forward into September.

213
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:34,640
So I'd like to get more focused on my to-do list and figure out some new systems to get

214
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:38,360
what I need and want to get done more effectively.

215
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:45,560
I'm really, I, I've, I used to call, I have this app called to-doist that I used to use

216
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:47,200
every single day.

217
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:53,560
I used to use it like, like, like clockwork every morning.

218
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:55,640
I would look at it.

219
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,000
I would see what I need to get done.

220
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:02,840
I would plan it in the evening for all of the little projects I have throughout my life.

221
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:06,080
I would plan, clean it, cleaning and all of these things.

222
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,220
And it just fell off.

223
00:16:08,220 --> 00:16:12,760
And so I want to get more, I'm going to get better at applying that application back to

224
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:16,240
my life, applying to-doist back to my life.

225
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,920
And because it's really useful, I highly recommend using it.

226
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:25,040
So in anticipation, I wrote these notes yesterday or two days ago.

227
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:29,560
Just knowing that that was a goal in my head this morning, I actually went into to-doist

228
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:33,080
and I wrote out the things I want to do this morning before I leave for the bachelor party

229
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,120
I mentioned before.

230
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:38,280
And recording the episode was one of the, it's a part, was priority one.

231
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:43,240
Then I have a couple other things that I have set up to get done as well.

232
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:46,960
And that is what gets, it always just feels really nice whenever I do something I say

233
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,080
I'm going to do.

234
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:52,800
So creating a habit around that would be really useful.

235
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:58,800
Then my final thing I think I just realized this morning, something that has been integral

236
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:03,160
in me even sitting down right now to record this episode this morning, has been waking

237
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:04,640
up at the same time every morning.

238
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:07,520
Again, I used to do that week about 6 a.m. every day.

239
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:08,760
I know I'm weird.

240
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:09,760
I love being weird.

241
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:15,240
Like waking up at 6 a.m. every morning, like, and because that just keeps me on a habit

242
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:18,800
that keeps me in the process of being able to get things done every single day and then

243
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,960
being able to have fun and do other things that evening.

244
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:27,000
I'm a morning person, so I get it if you're not a morning person, but the mornings for

245
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:32,960
at least I see mornings as a time to get things done because nobody else is awake.

246
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,440
And I mean, I don't have a family, I'm single.

247
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:43,120
And so I feel like maybe obviously my my circumstances a little bit different, but I also I've heard

248
00:17:43,120 --> 00:17:47,680
from fathers and mothers that the morning is still a really good time that you have

249
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:51,800
to wake up even earlier because when their kids wake up, they want to see their kids

250
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:53,920
off to school and things like that.

251
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:58,800
So waking up really early in the morning is a time when they get things done.

252
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:01,480
So which makes sense to me.

253
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:05,880
And so I guess you do also do the same thing if you if you're not now and work late into

254
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,000
the night, that would work fine, too.

255
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:13,000
But for us morning people, us early birds, I think that works the best.

256
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,320
And but I definitely fell out of that for a bit.

257
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:18,600
And it caused me to get less done during the day.

258
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:22,400
But I think all of this I've talked about, like how I've grown in the last month and

259
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:27,040
how I plan to grow moving forward is all definitely interconnected.

260
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:32,120
And I just want to use that as motivation to you who want you, the listener who wants to grow,

261
00:18:32,120 --> 00:18:36,320
who wants to really get things done and work towards your goals.

262
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:43,280
I really want to motivate you to think about the habits in your life, the ones that aren't

263
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:44,360
helpful.

264
00:18:44,360 --> 00:18:48,800
And so you can work on eliminating those habits and thinking about the habits that you want

265
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:54,880
to integrate into your life that would be integral to your productivity, to your personal

266
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:59,440
growth, to your quality of life.

267
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:01,440
So think about those.

268
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,640
Thank you for listening to this episode, guys.

269
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,040
That is all I have.

270
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:11,160
Again, yeah, I love that you listen to this episode.

271
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:16,240
If you like this episode, share it out on all your social media platforms on Facebook,

272
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:17,920
on Twitter or X.

273
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:19,640
Please share it on X.

274
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:25,400
On what is it called?

275
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:26,400
Instagram.

276
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:33,040
And if you know somebody that this would be useful for, share it with them as well, because

277
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:39,600
it would be really awesome to be able to get more people into this movement of growth,

278
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:41,480
the movement and growth of pursuing your calling.

279
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:43,920
I don't feel like enough people would do that.

280
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,480
Not enough people intentionally pursue your calling.

281
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:51,480
So if you want to share with somebody that maybe you want to want them to pursue their

282
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:54,720
calling or feel like they have a calling on their lives and you see it, but they don't

283
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,720
see it themselves, give them something.

284
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:01,560
Send them this episode, send them this podcast and or give them a particular episode.

285
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:03,360
Wasn't planning on planning on saying that.

286
00:20:03,360 --> 00:20:05,760
But again, thank you for listening to this episode.

287
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:28,720
All right, guys, I'll see you next time.
