WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:06.759 You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand. Gigi, Welcome to the 2 00:00:06.839 --> 00:00:12.960 Jesus Christ Show. Oh for the else, Hi can two seconds? Hi? 3 00:00:13.439 --> 00:00:18.679 Hello there. I am a primary care physician. Young lady came to 4 00:00:18.719 --> 00:00:25.600 me seeking abortion. I, of course don't do abortion by trade, and 5 00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:31.480 I refer to the patient and the physical after referring memes that my staff has 6 00:00:31.519 --> 00:00:35.920 to go on the computer and fill out the referral forms and click the button 7 00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:45.600 and send it. My staff had significant problems doing that, and she approached 8 00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:50.320 me, and I composed and will you finally get it? But I want 9 00:00:50.359 --> 00:00:54.439 to know how you would have approached it? Well, are you a Christian 10 00:00:54.640 --> 00:01:03.439 only facility? No, here's the rough part when it comes to it's abhorrent. 11 00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:10.400 It is a vulgar display in many ways, and to get into the 12 00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:17.000 detail of what's taking place would make most people lose their breakfast. However, 13 00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:22.959 I assure you that the everybody has made it a political issue, which is 14 00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:32.319 to me almost equally as vulgar, because what gets lost on both sides is 15 00:01:32.359 --> 00:01:37.120 the fact that there is no one unless there's some bizarre twisted in an individual, 16 00:01:37.239 --> 00:01:42.120 there is no one on either side that wants to see a baby die. 17 00:01:42.519 --> 00:01:49.640 No one. The confusion comes because there are What really sets the two 18 00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:57.200 sides apart is the definition of when it's a baby. So the but no 19 00:01:57.239 --> 00:02:01.319 one's setting out to kill babies, and I that's an ugly thought to think 20 00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:06.200 that that's what people are really doing. They're not. It's just the definition 21 00:02:06.239 --> 00:02:12.759 of when it's a baby. So science says something different than theology. Yet 22 00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:17.960 as a scientist, you're there representing the laws of the land and medicine to 23 00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:23.560 take care of your patients. The law of the land currently says that under 24 00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:31.800 certain circumstances, during certain times of the pregnancy, that to abort that pregnancy 25 00:02:31.960 --> 00:02:42.520 is okay. If you're in a public facility, your job is to give 26 00:02:42.520 --> 00:02:46.319 them the information they need to make the best decisions they can. But the 27 00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:49.840 decision is not on you. It's on the individual. Just like in anything, 28 00:02:50.159 --> 00:02:53.319 your job is to give them the best information. But the patient can 29 00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:54.599 say no, I don't want to take that pill, or no, I 30 00:02:54.639 --> 00:03:00.919 don't want to follow up. They can even tell you that they don't want 31 00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:07.800 you to resuscitate them right correct, And you could say that that's against God's 32 00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:13.360 will because now you're allowing them to make a decision to not live correct. 33 00:03:14.199 --> 00:03:19.680 So there's a lot of weight on you as a physician and in the nursing 34 00:03:19.719 --> 00:03:24.759 community as well, that those that are in the medical profession to give the 35 00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:30.000 best information, and that's what you're called to do. It's not a point 36 00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:34.960 of preaching. Now, if you feel that there's an opportunity and you want 37 00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:38.759 to make sure that they have the best information on both sides, that's fine. 38 00:03:38.039 --> 00:03:43.800 But as far as allowing somebody in the United States to make that decision, 39 00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:46.919 there are laws that protect them to be able to do so. And 40 00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:51.800 if you're going to be a position in a public in the public arena, 41 00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:57.039 they are going to be allowed to do that. So this is a private 42 00:03:57.080 --> 00:04:03.719 medical office, but not exclusively a Christian office, and we treat people of 43 00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:13.439 faith or not. And my staff is a believer, and so what would 44 00:04:13.439 --> 00:04:19.160 you specifically say to the believer, Well, if they don't, if they 45 00:04:19.160 --> 00:04:24.480 don't feel comfortable with doing that, there might be a way of around that 46 00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:30.240 for you to allow someone else to or things of that nature. However, 47 00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:35.920 there's a point where if you're going to be in that industry and it is 48 00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:41.399 in the United States and it is legal, then there's going to be issues, 49 00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:45.399 and she can even or he can even make a claim and say, 50 00:04:45.439 --> 00:04:48.160 hey, as a person of faith, this upsets me and I don't want 51 00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:50.839 to be a part of it. And that's fair to a certain degree, 52 00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:56.079 but there's a point where if the laws are with the laws are, and 53 00:04:56.079 --> 00:04:59.600 if you don't want to participate in that, then you know, if you 54 00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:04.079 had Jehovah's witness in there, didn't believe in blood transfusions, now that becomes 55 00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:10.560 an issue, and that starts to infringe on the individual's right who has a 56 00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:13.199 legal right to get a blood transfusion. They're going, well, I don't 57 00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:15.639 want to fill out the paperwork or I don't want to do this, and 58 00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:18.720 that becomes a little sticky. So if there are ways around it that could 59 00:05:18.759 --> 00:05:24.199 be done tactfully and does not impede on the legal rights and the individual rights 60 00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:29.439 of the person wanting whatever treatment that is legal, then you can adapt to 61 00:05:29.480 --> 00:05:32.959 those. But you can't just halt the system based on your faith, because 62 00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:39.279 in that process you're taking away the rights of an individual that is legal in 63 00:05:39.319 --> 00:05:44.399 the United States, and that becomes a problem as well to those that want 64 00:05:44.439 --> 00:05:49.160 to choose that. So my comment to myself was that I'm also a believer, 65 00:05:53.279 --> 00:05:59.160 but that's one I would not have performed the abortion myself. Good, 66 00:05:59.519 --> 00:06:08.720 but it's not in my scope of service either. I'm not an over but 67 00:06:08.800 --> 00:06:13.319 even if I was, when I would be an objan that would not perform 68 00:06:13.399 --> 00:06:18.560 abortions. But if I were an obi Juan who is whose scopbook service includes 69 00:06:19.040 --> 00:06:26.000 abortion, I would refer the patient to a colleague of mind. And because 70 00:06:26.040 --> 00:06:33.079 people do have the right to make decisions, whether right or wrong in our 71 00:06:33.199 --> 00:06:40.319 eyes, in my eyes, but if I am unable to comply with your 72 00:06:40.360 --> 00:06:44.639 wishes, then it is my job to point them to someone else who can 73 00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:50.439 work with them. And that was my comfo to my staff. Do you 74 00:06:50.439 --> 00:06:54.240 have any need to add to that. No, I think that's a very 75 00:06:54.319 --> 00:07:00.519 honest way of approaching it, because if you start becoming the the Christian police, 76 00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:04.120 it becomes problematic. Now let's say you're a checker at a grocery store 77 00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:11.439 and now you're looking at twinkies and ho hos, and the person in front 78 00:07:11.480 --> 00:07:15.600 of you is overweight, and you start going, well, I'm not going 79 00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:18.279 to sell this to you because you're obviously abusing it, or any of those 80 00:07:18.319 --> 00:07:23.839 that you start policing everybody's option, and if the freedoms exist in the United 81 00:07:23.879 --> 00:07:26.120 States, you have to allow that. Now you don't have to do it 82 00:07:26.160 --> 00:07:30.600 yourself in that sense, but your practice has to have somebody that is able 83 00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:34.639 to write that referral or to do that. Otherwise it stops being a practice 84 00:07:35.519 --> 00:07:41.560 and a medical practice and starts being a religious practice, which becomes a problem. 85 00:07:41.560 --> 00:07:46.920 And I think that your consult was very fair and honest and looking at 86 00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:49.199 making sure everybody's taken care of, and I think that was the right way 87 00:07:49.199 --> 00:07:53.759 to go about it. Thank you, You're welcome, and thank you for 88 00:07:53.800 --> 00:07:58.120 what you do. It's a very important thing that you do. And I 89 00:07:58.199 --> 00:08:01.920 know that your faith ties into it and you're praying for people and you're being 90 00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:05.879 there, and that makes you even more important out there as a physician. 91 00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:09.079 To have the balance between your scientific mind and your spiritual sense as well, 92 00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:15.959 I think is a very important part of the medical industry. This is an 93 00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:20.279 incredibly difficult subject, but I really want people to hear and to be left 94 00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:24.399 with the thought that nobody wants to kill babies. Nobody does. I know 95 00:08:24.439 --> 00:08:28.519 that's the easier way to think about it, and to look at it's not 96 00:08:28.600 --> 00:08:31.320 about that. It's the definition of when they see a baby, and it 97 00:08:31.320 --> 00:08:35.279 may be different than yours, and that's part of the fight. Part of 98 00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:39.639 the fight is to get science to see that. And as they see that, 99 00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:43.559 then that will change. But as if the majority of doctors see that 100 00:08:45.039 --> 00:08:48.480 as tissue and not yet a baby, then it won't matter what you do 101 00:08:48.639 --> 00:08:54.000 and or say. That's where it will change. But nobody's going around smiling 102 00:08:54.039 --> 00:08:58.399 at taking the life of a child. Nobody wants that, no one, 103 00:08:58.879 --> 00:09:01.960 no matter how hard they are on either side. It's a matter of the 104 00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:07.919 definition of when it's a child. There are a lot of decisions that are 105 00:09:07.960 --> 00:09:13.559 tough to make as a believer in this world. And you're to be in 106 00:09:13.639 --> 00:09:18.120 the world but not of the world, and that means that you are to 107 00:09:18.159 --> 00:09:22.759 separate yourself, but you still have to interact with it in a way that 108 00:09:22.960 --> 00:09:28.000 is productive and means something. Maybe you've heard the term so spiritually minded, 109 00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:31.559 you know, earthly good. And if you get to a place where everything 110 00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:37.720 is so spiritual that you shut down existing and connecting as a human being, 111 00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:41.399 then it's gone. It's done. Then you might as well just be in 112 00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:46.279 heaven, because what happens here is. God puts you here for a reason. 113 00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:54.039 It's to exist and interact with those other humans. To be an example 114 00:09:54.919 --> 00:09:58.960 in life as to how one should live. Doesn't mean you're always going to 115 00:10:00.159 --> 00:10:03.720 it right, doesn't mean you're not going to make mistakes. But this constant 116 00:10:05.240 --> 00:10:11.840 concept that as a Christian you're just supposed to rebel against everything rather than leading 117 00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:20.919 by an example, is not the focus of your purpose here. And that 118 00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:24.879 may sound strange, but I will tell you that when it comes to things 119 00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:30.360 as weighty as abortion and that topic, and I know that regardless of which 120 00:10:30.360 --> 00:10:33.919 side you land on, I know I can hear you tighten up when I 121 00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:37.480 even use the word, and automatically your brain switches over to that political view 122 00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:46.080 that you have and not about what's really taking place. God sees that child 123 00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:52.440 at the moment of conception, but science doesn't yet. And I realize that 124 00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:58.639 those things can be frustrating. But I also realize that the same people that 125 00:10:58.679 --> 00:11:03.120 would put themselves across the pathway of an abortion clinic in the name of God 126 00:11:03.720 --> 00:11:09.679 won't do the same thing across the threshold of a false church or a pastor 127 00:11:09.720 --> 00:11:15.720 who is lying or fleecing his flock. And that to me is strange as 128 00:11:15.759 --> 00:11:22.519 well, and that shows me that there is a political bent here that is 129 00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:28.759 beyond the spiritual and to find that balance and that understanding as to why you 130 00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:33.879 believe what you believe and what you're willing to do for your faith. When 131 00:11:33.919 --> 00:11:39.120 God himself says, fear not those that can kill the flesh, but he 132 00:11:39.159 --> 00:11:46.799 who can kill the spirit. Mark. Welcome to the Jesus Christ Show. 133 00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:48.919 Good morning. Hi, we only have a couple of minutes here. I 134 00:11:48.960 --> 00:11:52.159 know this is off the wall question, but you know, I have a 135 00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:58.080 environment problem with spurs and rabbits and things, and I wonder if the Bible 136 00:11:58.120 --> 00:12:01.240 says anything about poisoning put in poison not for animals. I know the Bible 137 00:12:01.279 --> 00:12:03.039 says to take care of the animals, but is it bad to get rid 138 00:12:03.080 --> 00:12:07.480 of them with poisons and going them. You have every right to defend your 139 00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:13.320 property and your home from disease and from problems. But what I want to 140 00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:18.840 say on top of that is when you poison an animal, and squirrels aren't 141 00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:26.120 particularly nasty with with disease the way other rodents like a rat, for instance, 142 00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:31.320 they're destructive and they really the first thing you want to do is you 143 00:12:31.399 --> 00:12:35.799 want to try sanitation and property maintenance. You want to go through and make 144 00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:39.480 sure you don't have any high protein things laying around, dog food, laying 145 00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:43.840 around cat food, laying around things like that that are going to attract them. 146 00:12:43.879 --> 00:12:46.960 There's ways we feed birds and we got birds. Yes, bird seed 147 00:12:46.039 --> 00:12:50.120 is another one that will will attract them. And this these all become problems 148 00:12:52.039 --> 00:12:56.039 that lure them in. When you poison an animal like that, because they 149 00:12:56.120 --> 00:13:03.480 are, you know, in involved with other predators. You could end up 150 00:13:03.879 --> 00:13:09.360 killing multiple animals by poisoning a squirrel, right, and that becomes a problem 151 00:13:09.440 --> 00:13:18.600 to just the the the ecological line of that animal. So I prefer that 152 00:13:18.679 --> 00:13:22.639 you look for as many methods as you can to sanitize your a direct area 153 00:13:22.759 --> 00:13:28.080 first, or methods that discourage them from being around. But if there, 154 00:13:28.159 --> 00:13:31.080 if you have to go to other methods, then hire somebody who's a professional 155 00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:37.559 who looks to make the least amount of damage to that animal and others around, 156 00:13:37.720 --> 00:13:45.279 because otherwise you just for to ex expedite the process, you start really 157 00:13:45.320 --> 00:13:48.840 causing havoc in your environs and that's not really fair. So you're called to 158 00:13:48.840 --> 00:13:54.279 be a good steward of all things in scripture, meaning animals and the planet 159 00:13:54.320 --> 00:13:58.879 and everything around you, not in the political hug atry sense, but in 160 00:13:58.919 --> 00:14:01.759 the very real this is the resources that you have at hand sense, and 161 00:14:01.879 --> 00:14:05.360 animals fall into that. And just be careful when you're doing that. Don't 162 00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:09.399 do it to get it done quickly. There's ways to even catch them and 163 00:14:09.399 --> 00:14:11.639 get rid of them and things like that. But just first and foremost, 164 00:14:11.639 --> 00:14:20.519 make sure that you're not causing more damage than you're doing good. Justin Welcome 165 00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:24.759 to the Jesus Christ Show. Hi, Jesus, I had a question about 166 00:14:26.919 --> 00:14:30.960 right after the ability to become saved and accept Jesus as their personal favor, 167 00:14:33.799 --> 00:14:39.000 like doing that immediately after resurrection and stuff. Right, Okay, what are 168 00:14:39.000 --> 00:14:41.799 you getting at there? Justin Okay, I'm just asking, like in South 169 00:14:41.840 --> 00:14:46.360 America and in America is like, how did those people go into hell because 170 00:14:46.360 --> 00:14:50.720 they didn't have a chance to Oh, you mean, if they didn't if 171 00:14:50.720 --> 00:14:52.759 they didn't hear the name of Jesus or the consonants and the vowels that make 172 00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:58.679 Jesus. Yeah, Okay, that's an excellent question. Romans Won. Romans 173 00:14:58.720 --> 00:15:03.320 Chapter one, starting in verse eighteen, is a really good place to go 174 00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:09.159 when it comes to that question because it explains the difference between special revelation, 175 00:15:09.279 --> 00:15:13.840 which is scripture or somebody coming and knocking on their door or hut or whatever 176 00:15:13.879 --> 00:15:18.039 it may be and saying, hi, I'm a missionary and you need to 177 00:15:18.080 --> 00:15:22.600 know Jesus. Well, that's special. That's a very specific revelation, but 178 00:15:22.679 --> 00:15:30.480 there's also general revelation. As God says in Romans chapter one, verse eighteen, 179 00:15:30.519 --> 00:15:33.080 it says, for the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all 180 00:15:33.159 --> 00:15:39.519 ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth and unrighteousness, because that which 181 00:15:39.600 --> 00:15:43.919 is known about God is evident within them. For God made it evident to 182 00:15:45.000 --> 00:15:48.759 them. For since the creation of the world, his invisible attributes, his 183 00:15:48.840 --> 00:15:52.919 eternal power, and his divine nature have been clearly seen, being understood through 184 00:15:52.960 --> 00:15:58.639 what has been made, so that they are without excuse. So really, 185 00:15:58.639 --> 00:16:06.159 what it's saying there is since the beginning of time that God's attributes, the 186 00:16:06.200 --> 00:16:12.480 invisible things of God can be known by creation, So really there is no 187 00:16:12.559 --> 00:16:17.759 excuse. It's not about whether somebody comes to your door and tells you about 188 00:16:17.840 --> 00:16:22.559 Jesus. It's knowing God to the best of your ability, and the circumstances 189 00:16:22.559 --> 00:16:26.879 you are. In the same way, if somebody had a mental deficiency or 190 00:16:26.919 --> 00:16:33.240 a child and Heaven forbid, but their life is taken, then they are 191 00:16:33.519 --> 00:16:37.679 accountable for what they can know or what they did know. It's not about 192 00:16:37.840 --> 00:16:42.120 ignorance. That's not what Heaven's about. That's not what salvation's about. It's 193 00:16:42.120 --> 00:16:49.600 not about ignorance. It's about acceptance or rejection of the truth. So in 194 00:16:49.919 --> 00:16:56.879 Romans, it's talking about that that truth can be known by looking at God's 195 00:16:56.960 --> 00:17:00.559 creation or what some people call nature, looking at those things and seeing, 196 00:17:00.559 --> 00:17:03.000 and that it's imprinted on your heart to know and to seek God. And 197 00:17:03.039 --> 00:17:12.119 that's enough in those circumstances. Sarah, Welcome to the Jesus Christ Show. 198 00:17:14.599 --> 00:17:18.680 Emilye. Thanks for taking my call. This is the first time I listened 199 00:17:18.720 --> 00:17:22.400 to your show, and I like the topics and I like the advice and 200 00:17:22.440 --> 00:17:27.279 support that you've given this morning. Well, welcome a Christian and I believe 201 00:17:27.319 --> 00:17:32.880 in God and I have very strong hate this morning, though I have a 202 00:17:32.960 --> 00:17:37.440 question. Is that is something that I'm struggling with at work. I thought 203 00:17:37.440 --> 00:17:40.839 I would be bold and call it in. Okay, So what's going on? 204 00:17:41.079 --> 00:17:45.799 So in my I left the job that I was in for fourteen years 205 00:17:45.799 --> 00:17:49.839 because it was just like overwhelming with past and completing task right with the managerial 206 00:17:49.920 --> 00:17:56.759 role. So now I found myself in that similar role. I was promoted 207 00:17:56.960 --> 00:18:02.200 and it was just like my struggles are I have deadlines to complete things. 208 00:18:02.240 --> 00:18:04.160 In front of most parts, I can complete them, but it's like I 209 00:18:04.240 --> 00:18:08.079 usually have like twenty things I have to do a one time, and it's 210 00:18:08.160 --> 00:18:15.799 very hard to complete task timely. And I know if I just focus on 211 00:18:15.799 --> 00:18:19.480 one thing and get one thing done at a time, then that's how I 212 00:18:19.519 --> 00:18:25.319 get through it. But it just seems like I'm always working struggling to get 213 00:18:25.440 --> 00:18:29.160 current. Does that make sense? Well, sure, don't you say that 214 00:18:29.160 --> 00:18:32.960 that at work you have, uh there's a multitude of tasks that all need 215 00:18:33.000 --> 00:18:36.599 to be done at the same time. Now does that mean that they all 216 00:18:36.640 --> 00:18:40.599 need to be completed at the same time or you say in one day you 217 00:18:40.599 --> 00:18:44.519 have a bunch of tasks and they all need to be done in one day. 218 00:18:44.559 --> 00:18:49.000 There's a bunch of tasks to be completed, requests from people, managers, 219 00:18:49.079 --> 00:18:55.079 internal, external, So it's just you know, the time anthement. 220 00:18:55.160 --> 00:18:59.480 I think that's my biggest struggle where do you think the time is going? 221 00:18:59.519 --> 00:19:03.200 If if time seems to be going out the window, where do you think 222 00:19:03.480 --> 00:19:07.279 it goes? No, I'm not sure how to measure that, because it's 223 00:19:07.480 --> 00:19:11.400 like when I'm at work and stuff are working, I'm not you know, 224 00:19:11.599 --> 00:19:17.559 just visiting or you know, doing random stuff. I'm actually working. But 225 00:19:17.720 --> 00:19:19.640 I think in a way I'm too trying to measure. Okay, do I 226 00:19:19.680 --> 00:19:25.519 need help with my desk? You know, if it's too much? Well 227 00:19:25.519 --> 00:19:29.079 that's a that's a legitimate question, which is why I ask about where you 228 00:19:29.119 --> 00:19:32.359 think your time is going. If there's there is such thing as too much 229 00:19:32.400 --> 00:19:36.799 work. I know that there are bosses that would say differently, or companies 230 00:19:36.839 --> 00:19:38.880 that would go, no, you can you can always do more work. 231 00:19:41.519 --> 00:19:45.680 And I'm not a huge fan of that. There's a time and a place 232 00:19:47.720 --> 00:19:52.720 on as to where you would break, where you just have only enough to 233 00:19:52.759 --> 00:19:56.599 give. There were times where I walked away and rested. There are times 234 00:19:56.680 --> 00:20:02.039 where I I would leave a city and people would say, well, aren't 235 00:20:02.079 --> 00:20:03.000 you going to do X, Y and Z, And I'd say no, 236 00:20:03.319 --> 00:20:07.319 I'm I'm done here and I'm moving on to somewhere else. Otherwise, there's 237 00:20:07.319 --> 00:20:11.160 always something around the corner. If you think it's a legitimate amount of work 238 00:20:11.200 --> 00:20:15.519 and you should be able to do it, then you need to find a 239 00:20:15.559 --> 00:20:19.960 triage system of sorts to tackle certain things. Would I would gather that out 240 00:20:21.000 --> 00:20:25.079 of every task or group of tasks that you have, there is one task 241 00:20:25.119 --> 00:20:29.799 that seems to be more daunting than the rest, or maybe you know less 242 00:20:29.799 --> 00:20:33.880 about it. And usually when you're when you don't feel confident or strong about 243 00:20:33.880 --> 00:20:38.440 a particular task is when it slows you down because you don't want to do 244 00:20:38.480 --> 00:20:44.119 it wrong, you don't want to do it incorrectly, and so you're you 245 00:20:44.240 --> 00:20:48.920 kind of put it off or go at it very slowly. So you could 246 00:20:48.960 --> 00:20:53.079 see if there's any group of tasks there's one in particular that seems to weigh 247 00:20:53.160 --> 00:21:00.240 you down or that you are intimidated by, and put that at the top 248 00:21:00.240 --> 00:21:03.519 of the list to finish, take care of that, ask questions, do 249 00:21:03.599 --> 00:21:07.359 what you need to do, but always creating a triage as the type of 250 00:21:07.400 --> 00:21:11.279 work, what what's going to be simple to do, what's going to take 251 00:21:11.319 --> 00:21:14.119 time, or what you need to learn to do before you can complete it. 252 00:21:14.920 --> 00:21:18.160 Never never be afraid of asking questions. If you're at a place where 253 00:21:18.200 --> 00:21:22.160 they're they don't like you asking questions. Well, that's not a great place. 254 00:21:22.599 --> 00:21:26.319 What I pretty confidence and I asked questions. I need to understand what 255 00:21:26.359 --> 00:21:30.000 I'm doing if I do it. So it's not I don't think it's got 256 00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:33.599 to struggle with that. It's just, you know, prioritizing, Like you 257 00:21:33.720 --> 00:21:37.759 had said, the biggest thing is it's usually a huge tast that's involved, 258 00:21:38.079 --> 00:21:44.559 so to work on that. But I just it's just I noticed this in 259 00:21:44.640 --> 00:21:47.440 my other position that it was just like a gosh, I got all those 260 00:21:47.480 --> 00:21:49.359 work clothes and then when they asked for help, there wasn't a help of 261 00:21:49.440 --> 00:21:52.680 allable. And I said, you know what, I can't do this anymore. 262 00:21:52.119 --> 00:21:55.400 You know, I can't work weekends. My kids, you know, 263 00:21:55.559 --> 00:21:59.680 they evening until I left the job that was on May's very good money and 264 00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:03.480 oh making, it's sure hearing and it's very scary. Well, the workplace 265 00:22:03.559 --> 00:22:08.640 is changing and they're expecting more of people, and they're not really necessarily caring 266 00:22:08.640 --> 00:22:14.400 about the family unit the same way. They figure they will always find somebody 267 00:22:14.440 --> 00:22:19.000 who will give up whatever to do the task. And it's unfortunate. I 268 00:22:19.039 --> 00:22:22.559 will tell you this that if it's if there's not one particular task that is 269 00:22:22.640 --> 00:22:27.720 daunting. There's not one particular task that you feel you don't understand and it's 270 00:22:27.759 --> 00:22:32.480 weighing you down. Then you start at the simplest first and you cross things 271 00:22:32.480 --> 00:22:37.440 off your list. There's nothing more refreshing than feeling like you've gotten you had 272 00:22:37.480 --> 00:22:41.119 success on some things, and you reverse the process, get the small ones 273 00:22:41.160 --> 00:22:47.559 done quickly, and then you have more time on the large ones. It's 274 00:22:48.039 --> 00:22:51.960 it's common sense in so many ways. If there's a blockage, it's you. 275 00:22:52.720 --> 00:22:57.880 There is a purposely like what am I doing? Am I personally creating 276 00:22:57.960 --> 00:23:00.680 this? You know, at the same thing with the previous job of my 277 00:23:00.920 --> 00:23:06.960 purposely from now creating this because I don't know if if I can't focus and 278 00:23:07.240 --> 00:23:14.680 I'm creating twenty five tasks during Do people ever refer to you as a perfectionist, 279 00:23:15.559 --> 00:23:21.119 those that are close to you, Yes, okay, so your particular 280 00:23:21.160 --> 00:23:26.160 in the way you like things done. Yeah, it's so much finance and 281 00:23:26.200 --> 00:23:30.039 accounting, so I guess you know, ways hard to have to be, 282 00:23:30.359 --> 00:23:36.279 you know, so the consequences are large. You're dealing with numbers and things 283 00:23:36.279 --> 00:23:41.880 that actually tied to real money. Yeah, okay, so that that can 284 00:23:41.920 --> 00:23:45.000 be intimidating onto itself, regardless of the size of the task at hand. 285 00:23:47.039 --> 00:23:52.279 And of course you need to be thorough. But sometimes there is paralysis by 286 00:23:52.319 --> 00:23:59.119 perfection. You the concern to get everything done in such a way that you 287 00:23:59.200 --> 00:24:03.039 get nothing done, so afraid of doing things wrong that you don't want to 288 00:24:03.079 --> 00:24:07.079 do anything. I think these are all places where you can you can kind 289 00:24:07.119 --> 00:24:11.279 of poke around and check yourself and see if they're what's holding you up. 290 00:24:11.720 --> 00:24:17.160 I would also recommend you not that you are going to find fun in doing 291 00:24:17.200 --> 00:24:22.880 this auditing for somebody who deals with numbers. But audit your time. Write 292 00:24:22.920 --> 00:24:26.000 a list down, keep it next to you, and audit your time, 293 00:24:26.079 --> 00:24:30.279 your whole day, what time, and be very honest and no one has 294 00:24:30.279 --> 00:24:33.519 to see it but you, And be very honest and see where your time 295 00:24:33.559 --> 00:24:37.599 goes. If people are coming in and talking to you too long at the 296 00:24:37.640 --> 00:24:41.440 office, or people are asking you advice for their stuff, or you're not 297 00:24:41.480 --> 00:24:48.240 getting enough time to do your own work, if anyone else has you assisting 298 00:24:48.279 --> 00:24:51.799 them in their own position or their own stuff. All of these things, 299 00:24:52.039 --> 00:24:55.599 as little as they may be throughout the day, can actually take big chunks 300 00:24:55.640 --> 00:25:00.599 out of what you're trying to process. So if you keep a kind of 301 00:25:00.640 --> 00:25:04.039 timeline on one half what you need to get done, on the other half, 302 00:25:04.039 --> 00:25:08.359 what you're getting done and what's going on throughout the day, I think 303 00:25:08.400 --> 00:25:11.960 you'll be surprised as to where your time goes. And once you see that, 304 00:25:14.079 --> 00:25:17.519 once you see where the time is actually going, you can troubleshoot and 305 00:25:17.559 --> 00:25:23.079 see how you can use your time better. That's very kind. I'm going 306 00:25:23.079 --> 00:25:26.559 to try that deftly. Yeah, so try that first, and you're at 307 00:25:26.640 --> 00:25:30.799 least going to see where there might be Oh my goodness. You know, 308 00:25:30.880 --> 00:25:34.400 five different people came in today and had me ask them for help on their 309 00:25:34.440 --> 00:25:38.880 own projects. Next time, I need to say no until I get to 310 00:25:38.920 --> 00:25:42.559 this point in my list or whatever it might be. And I think you'd 311 00:25:42.559 --> 00:25:48.119 be surprised. It's always the little things. People. People don't lose money 312 00:25:48.680 --> 00:25:52.559 throughout the day because they buy yachts on accident. Oh, I was going 313 00:25:52.599 --> 00:25:56.960 to the grocery store and I bought a yacht, and now my bank account's 314 00:25:56.000 --> 00:26:00.359 broke, you know, completely emptied. Weapons is you go to the grocery 315 00:26:00.359 --> 00:26:04.319 store and you buy the necessities, and then you wait in line and you 316 00:26:04.359 --> 00:26:07.839 go I might want to pack a gum. Yeah, I'll get a peck 317 00:26:07.839 --> 00:26:08.640 of gum. And then you go, oh, gosh, that candy bar 318 00:26:08.680 --> 00:26:11.359 looks good and it was a rough day and I probably deserve it. And 319 00:26:11.359 --> 00:26:14.799 then you get that, and then you're leaving and you're going, oh, 320 00:26:14.799 --> 00:26:17.839 well, you know what, I'll buy a newspaper. Yeah, I haven't 321 00:26:17.880 --> 00:26:19.920 sat down and watched read a newspaper in a long time. And but you 322 00:26:19.960 --> 00:26:23.799 start going through all these things in nickel and dime yourself to death, and 323 00:26:23.880 --> 00:26:30.559 it's no different with the commodity of time. You're constantly nickel and diming yourself 324 00:26:30.640 --> 00:26:32.799 thinking oh, well, yes, I don't want to say no to them, 325 00:26:32.880 --> 00:26:34.640 or I don't want to say no to that. But your first priority 326 00:26:34.680 --> 00:26:37.799 is going to be the task, the list, and that task that's been 327 00:26:37.839 --> 00:26:44.960 imparted to you first. So audit yourself, write it down, do it 328 00:26:45.000 --> 00:26:48.119 for at least one day, but maybe two would be better, and see 329 00:26:48.160 --> 00:26:55.440 if there's any patterns. But you know, you're saying that it makes sense 330 00:26:55.519 --> 00:27:00.200 because there are a lot of people that go to need for knowledge, like 331 00:27:00.799 --> 00:27:03.319 out of you approach joking, and I think because something the people that I've 332 00:27:03.319 --> 00:27:07.680 worked with, like I A would just say okay, what is the problem 333 00:27:07.720 --> 00:27:11.000 I really have to do and I can fix things. I'm really get a 334 00:27:11.039 --> 00:27:15.279 fixing thing, and I think because people know that, they'll say, okay, 335 00:27:15.640 --> 00:27:18.519 this is a problem, so that comes to me for advice to fix 336 00:27:18.599 --> 00:27:22.640 things, and I know my time gets taken for okay, go do this 337 00:27:22.839 --> 00:27:26.559 or I would do that sort of thing, and I just need to pull 338 00:27:26.640 --> 00:27:33.039 back. But I'm definitely audit myself and write it down and just kind of 339 00:27:33.240 --> 00:27:36.759 learning to say, probably know more and pull back and then focus on my 340 00:27:36.880 --> 00:27:40.039 job at HARE. And you end up doing everybody else's work. When you're 341 00:27:40.079 --> 00:27:42.559 good at everything like that, or you're you feel comfortable in a lot of 342 00:27:42.559 --> 00:27:47.640 different fields or very good at your own, people will seek you out. 343 00:27:47.680 --> 00:27:51.720 And that's a wonderful thing. It's both flattering and it's part of the system 344 00:27:51.759 --> 00:27:55.240 and it keeps the system running. But you can't do it at the expense 345 00:27:55.279 --> 00:27:57.720 of what you have to do. So once you find out where it's going, 346 00:27:59.039 --> 00:28:00.519 if you find that that's a pattern and a lot of people come and 347 00:28:00.559 --> 00:28:04.000 ask you questions, great, then you can set up something and say, 348 00:28:04.039 --> 00:28:10.039 hey, listen, the last hour of every workday is I'm going to take 349 00:28:10.079 --> 00:28:11.880 questions. I'm finding I'm not getting my work done. So if you would 350 00:28:11.880 --> 00:28:15.640 like to come back at this time, I'd love to go over that with 351 00:28:15.680 --> 00:28:18.400 you, because I should be caught up by them. Whatever it is. 352 00:28:18.480 --> 00:28:23.759 You can even schedule that and file that in, but you have to see 353 00:28:23.759 --> 00:28:27.799 it as an actual time drain. And now that's one of your tasks, 354 00:28:29.559 --> 00:28:33.920 is helping others in that way. If it's just throughout the day, you'll 355 00:28:33.000 --> 00:28:36.559 never get anything done. There has to be a point where you say, 356 00:28:36.599 --> 00:28:40.079 I'm sorry, I've I have a bunch of products I have to do, 357 00:28:40.359 --> 00:28:44.319 are projects I have to do, and I'd love to help out. Let's 358 00:28:44.440 --> 00:28:48.119 do it at and you schedule them in. Make it a part of that 359 00:28:48.200 --> 00:28:51.640 system. Audit yourself, write it down on paper, see where your time 360 00:28:51.720 --> 00:28:55.440 is going. And I know by listening to how you think and the way 361 00:28:55.480 --> 00:28:59.759 you ask the question, you will correct the problem just by seeing it on 362 00:28:59.759 --> 00:29:10.279 pape. Every generation looks at their life and says it's getting more complicated, 363 00:29:10.319 --> 00:29:15.119 and every generation would be correct to a certain degree. There are new things 364 00:29:15.119 --> 00:29:21.000 coming your way every moment of every day, and you're bombarded with a stimulation 365 00:29:21.279 --> 00:29:26.960 more than any other generation. With mobile accessibility, to the entire world, 366 00:29:27.759 --> 00:29:33.440 mobile accessibility to your job. There was a time where you came home from 367 00:29:33.480 --> 00:29:40.000 work and you spend time with your family. And nowadays you come home from 368 00:29:40.079 --> 00:29:42.920 work, but you're still tethered to a mobile device, whether it be your 369 00:29:42.960 --> 00:29:52.279 phone, whether it be your tablet or even a laptop. You're always around 370 00:29:53.359 --> 00:30:00.319 a portal to your boss, to friends, to family, whoever might need 371 00:30:00.400 --> 00:30:06.799 you. Right that moment. Used to make a phone call and then if 372 00:30:06.799 --> 00:30:10.799 you couldn't get the person, it have to wait. But the world is 373 00:30:10.839 --> 00:30:17.039 in a speed, a little speed location right now. That is all about 374 00:30:17.039 --> 00:30:22.440 getting it done and getting it done now, regardless the feelings may be, 375 00:30:22.759 --> 00:30:25.160 well, family first and you got to take care of this, and you 376 00:30:25.240 --> 00:30:29.039 got to take care of that. But really it's not how it's structured anymore. 377 00:30:30.000 --> 00:30:32.880 It's structured. If something needs to be done with work, it needs 378 00:30:32.880 --> 00:30:38.599 to be done now. Competition is different. Life moves at a different speed, 379 00:30:38.920 --> 00:30:45.279 and in that process it can be very overwhelming and taxing on certain types 380 00:30:45.319 --> 00:30:49.200 of brains. There's just people that move at certain speeds. This is how 381 00:30:49.200 --> 00:30:53.200 they do things, This is how they do them right, And in that 382 00:30:53.279 --> 00:30:57.799 process you can feel like you're being swallowed. But I assure you there is 383 00:30:59.279 --> 00:31:06.200 a way to it. Least calculate what your skills are and what you can 384 00:31:06.400 --> 00:31:10.359 and should be doing at any given time and apply them. And then after 385 00:31:10.359 --> 00:31:14.599 that point you can tip your hat and say this is what I have, 386 00:31:14.839 --> 00:31:18.279 this is my ability, and if they don't like it, you can move 387 00:31:18.319 --> 00:31:22.759 on. But if you're like any other race, if you feel you can't 388 00:31:22.880 --> 00:31:29.359 run at the speeds that are needed, then downsize find a speed that you 389 00:31:29.400 --> 00:31:33.440 can, because you will always be best running at a speed that suits you. 390 00:31:36.599 --> 00:31:40.920 But that must be balanced with growth as well, and looking inwardly and 391 00:31:40.920 --> 00:31:44.079 saying, okay, am I learning a skill or is this pushing me into 392 00:31:44.160 --> 00:31:49.039 another direction to get better at something else or to expand myself? And if 393 00:31:49.079 --> 00:31:53.480 that is the yes answer, then you need to stick with it. But 394 00:31:53.599 --> 00:32:00.839 if not, you move on and you find your proper speed Until next week, 395 00:32:01.000 --> 00:32:08.119 remember these words. I Am with you always. Kf I A M 396 00:32:08.200 --> 00:32:09.720 six forty on demand
