1
00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:04,839
Speaker 1: Following God is meant to be the greatest superpower. If

2
00:00:04,879 --> 00:00:08,240
you are listening to culture, if you're listening to you

3
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:11,519
know current thought processes as a source of truth as

4
00:00:11,519 --> 00:00:13,919
a guide for you. Your compass is broken and you're

5
00:00:13,919 --> 00:00:15,000
gonna end up in the wrong place.

6
00:00:16,039 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 2: That's impossible.

7
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:20,160
Speaker 1: Let me tell you what I believe. What's your weakness

8
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:23,600
is not your technique.

9
00:00:24,039 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 2: Don't think you know.

10
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 1: The Impossible Life podcast. I mean you're sitting on a

11
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:31,480
winning lot of.

12
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:36,039
Speaker 2: Second an idea that is fully formed, fully understood, that sticks.

13
00:00:38,759 --> 00:00:42,520
Speaker 1: This is the Impossible Life Podcast because Nick and I

14
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:46,520
are attempting to live impossible lives. What we know is

15
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:50,719
that nothing is impossible. So instead of using impossible as

16
00:00:50,759 --> 00:00:53,600
an excuse to not try, we'll use the pursuit of

17
00:00:53,679 --> 00:00:58,200
impossible as an accelerant for greatness. If something's never been

18
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,960
done before, that just means it's unexplored. If they tell

19
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,280
you it's too hard, it's just waiting to be simplified.

20
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:10,959
Impossible as a default label used by uncourageous people unwilling

21
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,599
to take a risk. The real truth is this. The

22
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:19,359
solution to any impossible task starts with this question, if

23
00:01:19,359 --> 00:01:22,040
I had to what would it take what would it take?

24
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 2: Welcome to another episode of the Impossible Life podcast. I'm

25
00:01:28,159 --> 00:01:29,920
your co host, Nick Surface, and I'm looking across a

26
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,719
aman so productive. On his last day off, he accidentally

27
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,799
built a business, read three books, and drank twelve diet

28
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,200
cokes just because they were there. That's right, friends, the

29
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:44,680
Phoeo AVC Garrett uncle back, a man who does more

30
00:01:44,719 --> 00:01:47,519
on a rest day than most people do in a month.

31
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:48,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't.

32
00:01:48,439 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 2: You don't drink a dozen diet cokes a whole pack

33
00:01:52,519 --> 00:01:53,680
of diet costs on your day off.

34
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:54,959
Speaker 1: And what are you doing? Dude?

35
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 2: You have taken to the diet cokes. And it amuses

36
00:01:57,879 --> 00:01:59,959
me no end because there was a time when we

37
00:02:00,079 --> 00:02:02,480
start this podcast where you were very anti diet coke

38
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,680
and now you are just you know, smoking them like

39
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:06,799
people smoke cigarettes.

40
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: I would not say that is exactly accurate.

41
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,039
Speaker 2: No, it's not accurate at all, But in my mind

42
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,000
it's funny, and so I'm just gonna say that that

43
00:02:15,039 --> 00:02:16,759
the difference is you would never see one.

44
00:02:16,879 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 1: Now that's a source of truth on this podcast. It

45
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:20,240
thinks it's funny.

46
00:02:20,319 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, dude, it's good enough for that, you know, great.

47
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,319
I laugh every time I write these. So anyways, I'm

48
00:02:26,319 --> 00:02:28,680
glad one of us is still having fun. Gee, I

49
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:33,080
think you're having fun too. Okay, anyways, so today's episode,

50
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,759
g We're gonna get on like today we're gonna we're

51
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,520
gonna lay bare one of the weakest quote unquote pieces

52
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:43,120
of wisdom I'm going to end in society today. Bible

53
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,400
talks about the difference between God's wisdom and the world's wisdom. Yeah,

54
00:02:46,439 --> 00:02:48,159
and we're going to go ahead and give you some

55
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:52,039
godly wisdom today that I hope is a I hope

56
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:55,159
it really shifts people because there's this weakness in society

57
00:02:55,199 --> 00:02:58,319
called burnout, where it's like, oh, man, you know, the

58
00:02:58,319 --> 00:03:00,439
modern man, there's so much that's expect it of me.

59
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,080
You know, now I've got to be a dad. I've

60
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,159
got to provide. It's so much harder. I think about

61
00:03:05,159 --> 00:03:07,000
those guys we interviewed on the beach in San Diego,

62
00:03:07,039 --> 00:03:09,159
and they're like, it's so much harder today to be alive.

63
00:03:09,319 --> 00:03:12,680
Like houses are more expensive, like things are more expected.

64
00:03:12,719 --> 00:03:14,560
I was like, dude, you can door dash a meal

65
00:03:14,599 --> 00:03:16,919
to your front door, like two hundred years ago. If

66
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,919
you weren't a farmer, you know, you're in trouble. Like

67
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,280
now you can just literally lay around all day and

68
00:03:22,319 --> 00:03:25,759
text somebody and food shows. But Nick, it's so hard, right, well,

69
00:03:25,879 --> 00:03:28,240
so hard? Yeah, Well, you know there's so many demands.

70
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,719
You know that our food is not as good expensive,

71
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:35,080
right yeah, Like I mean taxes are right, Yeah, there's expense.

72
00:03:35,159 --> 00:03:37,280
And I have my car, right but I and I

73
00:03:37,319 --> 00:03:38,840
hope you guys are getting I have to take care

74
00:03:38,879 --> 00:03:42,120
of my car, right, I mean there's just like I'm

75
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,039
supposed to do all this I'm supposed to do all

76
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,039
this stuff, and I'm supposed to be in great shape,

77
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,400
and then I'm supposed to like do you know still

78
00:03:49,439 --> 00:03:51,439
be great for my kids and my wife? Like you

79
00:03:51,479 --> 00:03:54,120
know what about like what about downtime? Like man in

80
00:03:54,199 --> 00:03:56,680
work is like they're expecting more from work. This is

81
00:03:56,759 --> 00:03:59,159
like the stuff that goes through people's head. And it

82
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,560
sounds like shouldn't we have this ai utopian society g

83
00:04:02,719 --> 00:04:05,280
where we all just get like it solves all our problems, right,

84
00:04:05,319 --> 00:04:08,400
like let's get let's get agi in place so that

85
00:04:08,439 --> 00:04:11,039
we can have food is easier. We have this utopian

86
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,000
society and we can all just like spend time together

87
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,080
because that's really what the purpose of our lives are

88
00:04:15,319 --> 00:04:16,839
and I can hope you I hope you sense that

89
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,319
we're mocking that, and we're going to dive into We're

90
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,560
one hundred percent we are. We're going to dive into

91
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,800
that because there's a Please don't switch off if you're like, oh,

92
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:27,160
I don't I don't need to hear someone tell me

93
00:04:27,199 --> 00:04:29,079
I need to work harder. We're not that this that's

94
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,000
this is not the just work harder podcast, although there

95
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,199
will definitely be an element of what you're capable of

96
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,160
being shifted so that you know that you can do more.

97
00:04:36,199 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 1: Look, the people who listen to this podcast are the

98
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,639
people who decided they want to become everything God's created

99
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,240
them to be. If you don't want that, this isn't

100
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:44,600
the right podcast for one hundred percent.

101
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:46,279
Speaker 2: You can go find five hundred other ones that will

102
00:04:46,319 --> 00:04:47,680
tell you that you're just fine as you are.

103
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 1: Find go find a nice self help podcast.

104
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,079
Speaker 2: God is in the transformation business, so g like, you

105
00:04:54,079 --> 00:04:57,000
know what's interesting? So I I this is something I

106
00:04:57,079 --> 00:05:00,000
never really thought of until Ray Dalio talked about over time.

107
00:05:00,079 --> 00:05:03,560
I'm the productivity curve of a human increasing. And if

108
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,040
you don't know this concept, think about like I remember

109
00:05:06,079 --> 00:05:08,360
when I got my first iPhone and I was like,

110
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:13,519
oh my gosh, I can email, text, take notes, update Twitter,

111
00:05:13,639 --> 00:05:16,240
and check social media. And I'm like, not on a computer,

112
00:05:16,319 --> 00:05:18,360
I can do this everywhere. I remember like having this

113
00:05:18,519 --> 00:05:21,959
explosion of I've always connected. I mean it literally, like

114
00:05:21,959 --> 00:05:24,199
the first month I had a smart like an iPhone,

115
00:05:24,639 --> 00:05:27,600
I could not believe how much I could do. Right now,

116
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:31,360
rewind hundreds of years ago, in before seventeen fifty eighty

117
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,959
to ninety percent of people's like jobs, like, hey, what

118
00:05:33,959 --> 00:05:36,560
do you do well, I'm in agriculture. Oh, me too, right,

119
00:05:36,639 --> 00:05:39,639
because if you didn't, you didn't really live right. You

120
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:41,600
had to farm, you had to do all these things. Now,

121
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:45,160
then suddenly we get the Industrial Revolution. You start doing

122
00:05:45,199 --> 00:05:46,800
all the farming and stuff that you were doing with

123
00:05:46,879 --> 00:05:49,600
big machines. Then you start to get into the process area.

124
00:05:49,639 --> 00:05:53,079
This is Henry Ford. You start standardizing processes and becoming

125
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,839
even more efficient of like how can we mass produce things?

126
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,800
Things start becoming more centralized. You then fast forward to

127
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,879
like the fifty sixty seven, things start becoming more corporate

128
00:06:02,079 --> 00:06:05,360
than you start throwing in technology, mean that what's happening

129
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,319
all the time. Things that used to be repeated. Tasks

130
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:09,959
that used to take a certain amount of time take

131
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,319
less and less and less time. What's happening with AI

132
00:06:12,399 --> 00:06:14,399
right now? G Well, I used to have to search

133
00:06:14,439 --> 00:06:16,480
through all these notes. I'm a legal clerk. It used

134
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,480
to take and we're gonna need three weeks for discovery.

135
00:06:18,639 --> 00:06:20,480
Oh yeah, Now we can ingest that in a couple

136
00:06:20,519 --> 00:06:22,319
hours because we can just upload all the docks and

137
00:06:22,399 --> 00:06:26,600
off we go. Oh man, so our productivity curve of

138
00:06:26,639 --> 00:06:29,279
an average human is going up massively now. Fortunately we

139
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,319
have this thing called a GDP, which is a gross

140
00:06:31,319 --> 00:06:34,879
domestic product in the United States. The gross domestic product

141
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:38,480
of the United States from eighteen twenty five to twenty

142
00:06:38,519 --> 00:06:43,040
twenty five has only increased a mere eighteen hundred times.

143
00:06:43,879 --> 00:06:46,399
In eighteen twenty five, it was fifteen billion dollars that

144
00:06:46,439 --> 00:06:48,800
was the gross domestic product of the US. The population

145
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:52,399
was obviously a lot smaller. In twenty twenty five it

146
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:58,680
was twenty eight trillion, which is just insane. So it's

147
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,240
eighteen a lot. Yeah, that's a lot. Like a trillion

148
00:07:01,399 --> 00:07:03,560
is like not a number that I think people can relave.

149
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 1: Think of money. I always think of the scene in

150
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:07,920
Austin Powers where doctor Evil.

151
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,279
Speaker 2: Comes back and is like one million, Yeah, like that's

152
00:07:10,519 --> 00:07:12,639
not really life. They all start laughing. He's like, sorry,

153
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,480
one bear, Yeah, that's not a lot of money exactly.

154
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:19,079
Oh right, yeah, And it's funny that you say that,

155
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,519
but like, like think about that, how much that's grown

156
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:24,720
for the country, and you go, okay, well that's the country.

157
00:07:24,759 --> 00:07:27,240
There was also you know, population growth. Well, let's go

158
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,800
ahead and do GDP per capita, which is this is

159
00:07:29,839 --> 00:07:32,560
what is the output of a person how much value

160
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,639
they produce. In eighteen twenty five it was one point

161
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:39,000
two thousand, so twelve hundred bucks per person. In twenty

162
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,120
twenty five it's eighty two thousand per person, which is

163
00:07:42,199 --> 00:07:46,160
sixty five to seventy x increase per person, right, And

164
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,439
I'm trying to give a quantifiable number because I want

165
00:07:48,439 --> 00:07:51,120
people to think about that in two hundred years. If

166
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,120
I could go back to a human eighteen twenty five

167
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,439
and say two hundredyears now, you'll be seventy times more productive.

168
00:07:57,199 --> 00:08:01,120
That's that is a mind boggling amount of productivity increase.

169
00:08:01,439 --> 00:08:03,759
And I think we're in the process of a wave

170
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,199
of massive increase of that yet again, where it's going

171
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,879
to continue to increase. Why am I sharing this because

172
00:08:09,959 --> 00:08:12,439
there are like there are more demands on you now,

173
00:08:12,519 --> 00:08:14,639
but there's also a lot more resource available to you.

174
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,240
What we're able to do now is more and more.

175
00:08:17,319 --> 00:08:19,240
And what we want to encourage you is like, look,

176
00:08:19,319 --> 00:08:22,560
we're giving you physical numbers showing that this is happening regardless,

177
00:08:22,879 --> 00:08:27,480
but like there's an intention, there's a God given growth

178
00:08:27,519 --> 00:08:29,759
in you that's like you can do more. Like you're

179
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:31,879
made to be a son of God in the earth.

180
00:08:31,879 --> 00:08:33,679
You're made to be one who puts points on the

181
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,759
board in all areas, who literally displays God's glory in

182
00:08:36,799 --> 00:08:39,519
all areas. It's not like, hey, I got it right

183
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:41,759
in four out of eight, so that's pretty good. Like

184
00:08:41,879 --> 00:08:44,799
the Impossible Life podcast is when we break it down

185
00:08:44,799 --> 00:08:46,639
for people when we go through this in the Purpose Playbook,

186
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:48,159
we look at every area of life when we go

187
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,240
here's how you're going to win, and you're going to

188
00:08:50,279 --> 00:08:52,960
win by doing it God's way, by reflecting His glory,

189
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,200
which is all his goodness, and by truly like displaying

190
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,559
how great God is. So I don't like we're not

191
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,200
trying to create guys who read their Bible a little

192
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,840
bit more or do a few more pushups. We're trying

193
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,480
to create guys that in every single area of life,

194
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:08,679
they are just absolutely crushing it.

195
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 1: Well, that's what I mean, truly, It's what this entire

196
00:09:11,639 --> 00:09:14,320
podcast is about. It's what I'm talking about at Mighty

197
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,720
Men all the Time for those of you who attend

198
00:09:16,799 --> 00:09:21,120
or those who listen, is really like I want people

199
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,159
to get this perspective. We're not meant to be just

200
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,320
like Christianity doesn't exist to govern our behavior. Correct. I

201
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,879
say that a Mighty Men all the time. Following God

202
00:09:30,919 --> 00:09:34,159
is not a behavioral improvement program. It is truly the

203
00:09:34,159 --> 00:09:37,320
greatest superpower that you can have is following God. It

204
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,759
gives you purpose, It gives you meaning, It gives you strength,

205
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,559
it gives you peace, It gives you all the things

206
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:45,879
you need in the most difficult times in your life,

207
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:47,679
and it helps you make sure that you're living your

208
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,240
life for the right reason and pursuing the right things.

209
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,919
People run into you know, really, you could oversimplify the

210
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,519
challenges and problems that people run into their run into

211
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,279
in their lives. Right, they go down the wrong roads.

212
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:00,960
Bible will help you with that. Not go down the

213
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,279
wrong road and then or they go down the right road,

214
00:10:03,519 --> 00:10:05,639
but they do it with the wrong resources, they didn't

215
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,799
estimate appropriately. They make mistakes, wrong decisions along the way,

216
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:10,919
and they fail or they quit. And the Bible helps

217
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,679
you overcome that as well. Following God is meant to

218
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:17,240
be the greatest superpower. If you are listening to culture,

219
00:10:17,279 --> 00:10:20,840
if you're listening to you know, current thought processes as

220
00:10:20,879 --> 00:10:23,480
a source of truth, as a guide for you, your

221
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:25,080
compass is broken and you're gonna end up in the

222
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:25,559
wrong place.

223
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, And that's that's one of the things that bothered

224
00:10:28,399 --> 00:10:30,759
you from the very beginnings. You're like, the vision of

225
00:10:30,759 --> 00:10:32,879
the impossible life is to change the perception.

226
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 1: Of what it shifts the mindset of what it means

227
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:35,159
to be a godly man.

228
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 2: Because because it bothered you from a young and I

229
00:10:37,879 --> 00:10:41,120
had the same thing. Why is Ned Flanders the emoji

230
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:45,519
for being a Christian? Oh, super nice guy? A kind

231
00:10:45,519 --> 00:10:47,559
of a wiss you know what I mean, Like, doesn't

232
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,080
really know how to do anything, oddly ripped on that

233
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,200
show for whatever reason. I don't know why they gave

234
00:10:52,279 --> 00:10:54,679
him that, but like it's that whole thing that drives

235
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,080
a station wagon kind of a loser, And it's like,

236
00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,559
are you kidding me. The guys we read about in

237
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,080
the Bible, the mighty men, the men of God, they

238
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,679
were going forward and they were standing up to world powers.

239
00:11:04,879 --> 00:11:07,120
They were the dudes like fighting battles. I think about Caleb,

240
00:11:07,399 --> 00:11:08,600
He's eighty four years old.

241
00:11:08,759 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 1: Paul is the one who was basically like all y'all

242
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:11,360
versus me.

243
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, well dude, and way before him, Caleb is eighty

244
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,399
four years old being like, Hey, I want that city.

245
00:11:16,399 --> 00:11:17,799
Can you give it to me? Guess what giving it

246
00:11:17,879 --> 00:11:18,120
to him?

247
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: Men?

248
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 2: Oh, you can go up and kill the giants that

249
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:21,720
own it. He's like, thanks, I just want to make

250
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:23,840
sure I had the right to kill them at eighty four.

251
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:27,279
Let's go man like this this is this ke you sir?

252
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 1: May I have another? Yeah?

253
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 2: Man, Like I look at that and I'm like, that

254
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,799
is how I want to age, like that, like, let's

255
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,720
slay giants till the day we die. So so I

256
00:11:36,399 --> 00:11:38,600
really want, like you need to understand this is a

257
00:11:38,639 --> 00:11:41,279
wholly and divine thing that you have that perspective of

258
00:11:41,279 --> 00:11:43,039
what a man of God is. Like you said that

259
00:11:43,159 --> 00:11:44,720
you're the one that walks into place and you're like,

260
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,159
don't worry, there's a man of God. Here, everything's going

261
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,759
to be okay, be the one that we just talked

262
00:11:49,759 --> 00:11:53,600
about that we did. All right, So gee, burnout? You know, man,

263
00:11:53,639 --> 00:11:56,720
like we often define an allergic reaction to this phrase.

264
00:11:56,759 --> 00:11:59,480
So just pause for a second while my vombit okay,

265
00:12:00,159 --> 00:12:02,000
all right, and we're back. Garrett just hurled in the

266
00:12:02,039 --> 00:12:04,120
in the He didn't really, but if you see him

267
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:08,159
twitching on camera you'll know why. But but burnout, man,

268
00:12:08,799 --> 00:12:13,200
we often define this and we did not source. I

269
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,159
don't think I think this existed in eighteen twenty eight.

270
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,039
Speaker 1: I just want to, you know, just say this upfront.

271
00:12:17,399 --> 00:12:22,960
My thought process and reaction to burnout is not don't

272
00:12:23,279 --> 00:12:26,399
misunderstand me. Those of you who are new, haven't listened

273
00:12:26,399 --> 00:12:29,600
to a bunch of episodes, don't really know me yet.

274
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:34,120
This is not a Navy seal, you know, David Goggins

275
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,559
approach to burnout. That's not what it's about. There's so

276
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,679
much more than just like you need to be tougher,

277
00:12:40,759 --> 00:12:41,440
you need to be harder.

278
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 2: That's not what we're saying, right, but burnout What burnout

279
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:46,840
really is when you boil it down. Because I was,

280
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,360
I kept pushing like, hey, we need a definition. You

281
00:12:49,919 --> 00:12:51,320
talk and we'd write. You know, we got a lot

282
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,440
of notes out of that. But like, burnout is really

283
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,200
you giving yourself an excuse to quit at the end.

284
00:12:56,279 --> 00:12:58,840
Like that's what it boils down to. And you perfectly

285
00:12:58,840 --> 00:12:59,840
coined the voice of burnout.

286
00:12:59,879 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 1: Well this is yeah. I mean you got to think

287
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,000
about what burnout is. People talk about it all the time.

288
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,440
They don't like their their jobs hard, their marriage is hard,

289
00:13:07,039 --> 00:13:09,320
life is just hard. Like I'm feeling like people don't

290
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:14,759
even define define burnout. It's this stupid cultural idea of

291
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,240
you know, in corporate society, of like, well, you know,

292
00:13:17,399 --> 00:13:19,519
maybe I should just get another there's a better job

293
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,039
that's easier for me. And really that's what people are saying,

294
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,480
like there's a there must be an easier way, right,

295
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,039
And that's a dangerous thought process. But really the voice

296
00:13:27,039 --> 00:13:29,879
of hard And we talk about thought patterns on this

297
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,200
show a lot, and you've got to we just did

298
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,559
an episode recently, unplay the tape, right, you just got

299
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,200
to understand when you let a thought pattern in, when

300
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:41,639
you start sowing these seeds, where's it going to take you? Okay?

301
00:13:42,039 --> 00:13:46,799
And the original seed of burnout doesn't seem that harmful,

302
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,759
doesn't seem that dangerous. It starts with you saying, oh,

303
00:13:49,799 --> 00:13:52,840
this is hard, right, like, oh, man, like forty hours

304
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:54,799
a week, fifty hours a week my job, Like oh,

305
00:13:54,799 --> 00:13:56,840
it's you know, I have to do a lot of

306
00:13:56,879 --> 00:13:59,000
meetings to do a lot of work, Like I have

307
00:13:59,039 --> 00:14:01,360
to I have homework, I have to you know, go

308
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:04,559
home and answer emails or like, man, raising kids is

309
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:08,200
just hard, like it's a lot of time, Like they

310
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,159
always want my attention, whatever it is, whatever that voice is,

311
00:14:11,799 --> 00:14:13,519
you know, I don't need to give it to you

312
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:15,799
because you hear it all the time. Right. But it

313
00:14:15,799 --> 00:14:20,080
starts with this is hard, and then it progresses into well, man,

314
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,600
this is harder than I thought it would be, which

315
00:14:22,759 --> 00:14:24,320
reverts back to we're gonna come back to this in

316
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:27,519
a second, which reverts back to an initial expectation that

317
00:14:27,559 --> 00:14:30,759
you had. But it goes from this is hard to well,

318
00:14:30,759 --> 00:14:33,159
this is harder than I thought it was going to be. Like,

319
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,240
you know, I knew kids would be hard, didn't know

320
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,440
it would be this hard. I knew my job would

321
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:40,480
be hard and would man, I knew everybody says starting

322
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:42,440
a business is hard. I didn't know it was going

323
00:14:42,519 --> 00:14:46,360
to be like this, Okay, and that that's that's where

324
00:14:47,159 --> 00:14:49,799
hard heart is just a part of life. But as

325
00:14:49,799 --> 00:14:52,200
soon as you start talking about this is harder than

326
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,480
I thought it would be, you're you're you're starting to

327
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,159
point in the wrong direction. Because what that turns into

328
00:14:57,279 --> 00:14:59,559
this is harder than I thought it would be. Is

329
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,000
you play you that tape for long enough, you listen

330
00:15:02,039 --> 00:15:04,360
to that thought track for long enough, Well, what it

331
00:15:04,399 --> 00:15:06,360
turns into is, well, I don't know if I want

332
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:08,639
to do this anymore because it's harder than I thought

333
00:15:08,639 --> 00:15:10,200
it was going to be. So I don't know if

334
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,600
I want to do this anymore. And which, again we'll

335
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:15,279
come back to this in a second. It's a wrong

336
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:18,480
presupposition in the expectation that you chose a path based

337
00:15:18,559 --> 00:15:20,559
upon your estimation of how difficult it would be. We'll

338
00:15:20,559 --> 00:15:22,639
come back to that, right, But it's you saying, well,

339
00:15:22,919 --> 00:15:24,639
I don't know if I want to do this anymore.

340
00:15:25,519 --> 00:15:28,720
Then it turns into one of the most dangerous phrases,

341
00:15:29,039 --> 00:15:31,799
which is like this is drinking the poison that turns

342
00:15:31,799 --> 00:15:33,919
into your death and the debt and death. And this

343
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,720
context is you quitting, right, I don't want to do

344
00:15:36,759 --> 00:15:40,840
this turns in anymore, turns into this isn't worth doing anymore.

345
00:15:41,679 --> 00:15:45,159
And as soon as you're having those those thought processes,

346
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:49,240
it's stage four cancer. You better like repent and get

347
00:15:49,279 --> 00:15:51,960
treatment immediately or you will die very soon, or you'll

348
00:15:52,039 --> 00:15:54,720
quit very soon because this isn't worth doing anymore. It

349
00:15:54,759 --> 00:15:56,919
turns into well, I'm not going to do this anymore

350
00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:02,000
and I quit. And lot of people, maybe for some

351
00:16:02,039 --> 00:16:04,879
of you, your first response this as well, like well,

352
00:16:04,919 --> 00:16:08,679
burnout is you know, a natural reaction to like I

353
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:10,200
just need to get a different job, or I need

354
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:13,600
to change my situation. Maybe maybe you're doing some of

355
00:16:13,639 --> 00:16:15,679
the wrong things, and we talk about that on the show,

356
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:20,039
and we'll talk about some of that today. But really

357
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,559
what burnout is is it turns into you looking at

358
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,240
your situation and saying, well, I just want it to

359
00:16:25,279 --> 00:16:28,080
be easier. And if that is the course that you're on,

360
00:16:28,559 --> 00:16:30,600
you're living wrong and you're going to make the wrong

361
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:32,639
it's going down the wrong road. Or if you are

362
00:16:32,639 --> 00:16:35,120
going down the right road and you're getting burnout, you

363
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,480
are you're not looking at the end of the road,

364
00:16:37,519 --> 00:16:39,559
you don't have the right vision for what you're doing,

365
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:41,879
and you're going to quit when you are going down

366
00:16:41,919 --> 00:16:42,519
the right direction.

367
00:16:42,919 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you really have to have the awareness of

368
00:16:45,639 --> 00:16:47,879
because like Garrett said, like I just wanted it to

369
00:16:47,919 --> 00:16:50,879
be easier, that'll sound like it should be a better way,

370
00:16:51,159 --> 00:16:53,200
work harder or not, or work smarter or not hard.

371
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:56,600
There's lots of really cool, like somewhat wise sounding things

372
00:16:56,759 --> 00:16:59,639
that don't make it sound like you're quitting. And I

373
00:16:59,639 --> 00:17:01,360
want you to understand, like one of the reasons why

374
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:04,720
Garrett's talking about how yes the vomit for burnout. This

375
00:17:04,759 --> 00:17:07,000
has been revelatory to me from our friend talking about

376
00:17:07,039 --> 00:17:10,039
how he viewed porn that when it once he realized

377
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:12,720
how bad it was, he no longer desired it, whereas

378
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:14,720
before when he still thought of it as ingestible.

379
00:17:14,759 --> 00:17:17,640
Speaker 1: It is a The reason that you're exactly right, Nick,

380
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:21,359
the reason I find burnout repulsive is because, look, this

381
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:25,200
is a here's a here's a take, a hot take

382
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:28,319
for Garrett. Okay, so there's people that disagree with this,

383
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:30,279
and if this is not a heaven or Hell issues,

384
00:17:30,279 --> 00:17:32,079
it's not a right or wrong issue. This is just

385
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:36,000
my own opinion. Okay, some people don't agree with this personally,

386
00:17:36,519 --> 00:17:38,279
I'm not we're talking about porn here for a second,

387
00:17:38,279 --> 00:17:40,039
we're gonna talk about porn as it relates to burnout

388
00:17:40,039 --> 00:17:42,480
and why I find both both of these things bother me,

389
00:17:42,559 --> 00:17:44,599
or the attitude is it relates to porn. One of

390
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:48,839
the things I really don't like is there's a lot

391
00:17:48,839 --> 00:17:51,079
of different processes and softwares and stuff that do it.

392
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,680
But the things like covenant eyes, which are like, well, hey,

393
00:17:53,759 --> 00:17:56,720
just protect me, like make porn not an option for me,

394
00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:00,720
right right, Like I can't control myself. I need something

395
00:18:00,759 --> 00:18:04,200
to control me for me. And you know, you could

396
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,440
say that's a version of rehab, and rehab's important, right

397
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:07,920
if you have a drug addiction, like you need to

398
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,839
go to rehab. You need to get cleansed and you know,

399
00:18:11,039 --> 00:18:13,119
reset your body so that you can get back to

400
00:18:13,559 --> 00:18:15,240
living life the way that you're supposed to live. I

401
00:18:15,279 --> 00:18:19,880
understand that caveat there. But the reason that the like

402
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:23,799
the total attitude in church towards porn bothers me is

403
00:18:23,799 --> 00:18:26,000
because the attitude is like, well, man, this is hard.

404
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:28,799
This is really difficult to manage, right, Like I just

405
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:32,160
have all these lusts and appetites and just like man

406
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,440
as a man, dealing with porn is really hard. That

407
00:18:34,599 --> 00:18:40,079
is a week And I would say borderline spiritually homosexual mentality.

408
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:43,599
That is so wrong to me. Here's the right man

409
00:18:43,799 --> 00:18:48,279
masculine response to porn. That's evil and we must destroy it. Right,

410
00:18:48,319 --> 00:18:51,480
The fact that porn exists in our society today is

411
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:57,880
the biggest I would say, just shadow and frown hanging

412
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:00,920
over masculiney today that we even let this be come

413
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:04,160
into existence. Right, that's the weakness that's in our culture,

414
00:19:04,519 --> 00:19:07,000
not our inability to deal with it, that we let

415
00:19:07,039 --> 00:19:09,400
it become a thing, that we let it exist. This

416
00:19:09,519 --> 00:19:11,240
is you know, you can parallel and we're not going

417
00:19:11,279 --> 00:19:12,640
to go down this road today. So there's plenty of

418
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:14,519
other people that talk about this on YouTube, but it

419
00:19:14,559 --> 00:19:17,400
is parallel to the downfall of realme. Right, we have

420
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,079
allowed these things in our culture and the right masculine

421
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,160
response to it is that's evil. And so what what

422
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:24,519
Nick is talking about, as we have a friend and

423
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:26,240
we've talked about this on the show and I've tried

424
00:19:26,279 --> 00:19:28,720
to help people think about porn in this way, is

425
00:19:28,759 --> 00:19:30,079
like you have to look at this thing not as

426
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,200
like man, it's really hard to resist. Is that's evil

427
00:19:32,559 --> 00:19:34,599
and I hate this thing and I'm not going to

428
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:37,920
let this thing that wants to destroy me and kill me, skies,

429
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:41,960
it disguise itself and cloak itself as something that I

430
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,640
would enjoy, because that is the devil's poison. He will

431
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:49,039
sell you sugar and what you're drinking is poison you. Oh,

432
00:19:49,079 --> 00:19:51,240
this is man, This would be so enjoyable. This is

433
00:19:51,279 --> 00:19:53,559
going to kill you. And you have to look at

434
00:19:53,599 --> 00:19:57,079
it from a warrior's perspective of like, how does how

435
00:19:57,079 --> 00:19:59,920
does a warrior respond to these things that want to

436
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,960
to destroy it? You must kill evil? And so that

437
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:07,559
like that mentality, it's the feminized church mentality today. And

438
00:20:07,599 --> 00:20:10,079
I'm just calling it what it is, the feminized church

439
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:12,640
mentality today the way that it looks at and addresses porn.

440
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,359
And I'm not saying that the church is evil or

441
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,559
wrong in that, I'm saying it's a couple steps off

442
00:20:18,599 --> 00:20:20,960
in the wrong direction, and men have to step back

443
00:20:21,039 --> 00:20:23,559
in and address porn in that right way. That's a

444
00:20:23,599 --> 00:20:27,240
parallel thought process to what I'm talking about today with

445
00:20:27,599 --> 00:20:31,359
the mindset as it relates to burnout. Right, you looking

446
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:36,000
at your life in this context of well, it's harder

447
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,640
than I thought it would be. That's the presupposition that

448
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,559
your life is meant to be comfortable. It's the wrong presupposition,

449
00:20:41,599 --> 00:20:44,440
it's the wrong expectation. You need to measure your life

450
00:20:44,519 --> 00:20:47,440
through this, not like what gets me to retirement, not

451
00:20:47,839 --> 00:20:50,119
what would be a good life. So it's all the

452
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:53,000
wrong definitions. The right life that you should be pursuing

453
00:20:53,079 --> 00:20:55,359
is what is the most meaningful life? What is the

454
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,640
life that God designed me for? What's the life that

455
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:00,759
God purposed me for? So, burnout and instead of measuring

456
00:21:00,759 --> 00:21:03,000
your life on man, how could I make this easier?

457
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,240
You should be measuring your life on what is right,

458
00:21:05,319 --> 00:21:09,880
what's meaningful? And two Timothy chapter four, verse seven. This

459
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:13,079
is here's your anti burnout scripture. Okay, this is how

460
00:21:13,079 --> 00:21:14,400
you want to get to the end of your life.

461
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:18,599
Cause burnout is looking at this life pattern, this thought pattern,

462
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:20,599
this journey of well. At some point I should be

463
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:22,559
able to enjoy myself. At some point I should be

464
00:21:22,559 --> 00:21:24,079
able to retire. At some point I should be able

465
00:21:24,079 --> 00:21:26,920
to have ease. Wrong, it's wrong. It's not the right

466
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,880
way to live your life. The life that you want

467
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:33,920
to live. Is Paul speaking in Timothy two Timothy chapter four,

468
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,599
verse seven. I have fought the good fight. I have

469
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:40,640
finished the race. Okay, that's like that's the headline. But

470
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,599
here's the substance. The substance is, this is what he

471
00:21:43,599 --> 00:21:45,359
says at the end of that verse. I have kept

472
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:47,920
the faith. That's what the meaning of your life is.

473
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:49,920
That's a good life. You got to the end of

474
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,519
your life and you hear, well done, good and faithful servant.

475
00:21:52,799 --> 00:21:55,559
I have lived going down the right path. Not is

476
00:21:55,599 --> 00:21:57,440
it hard? I don't care if it's hard. I want

477
00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,279
to make sure I'm doing the right thing. I want

478
00:21:59,279 --> 00:22:01,079
to I want to fight evil. I want to live

479
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,640
for God. I'm not going to cry and say, man,

480
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:04,960
this is harder than I thought it should be.

481
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:08,640
Speaker 2: Yeah. I so appreciate you giving that perspective because I

482
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:12,319
think that that's I want people to understand why you

483
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,039
have the reaction to it that you do, because quitting

484
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:16,880
is like the weakest thing. Would you if someone said

485
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:18,240
to you, Hay, do you want to be weak? I

486
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,519
don't think anybody be like, yeah, I do. But we

487
00:22:20,559 --> 00:22:21,440
don't see it that way.

488
00:22:21,559 --> 00:22:26,279
Speaker 1: Well, when I and I have I have care for

489
00:22:26,319 --> 00:22:28,200
it and I have love for it. When I and

490
00:22:28,519 --> 00:22:29,960
maybe you don't hear that right now, but when I

491
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,079
hear people talk about burnout, just so know the love

492
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:34,119
is why I do the show because I really care

493
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,200
and I really want to help people change the way

494
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:38,759
that they think. Nobody wants to be weak. Nobody wakes

495
00:22:38,839 --> 00:22:40,640
up one dances and I want to blow up my marriage.

496
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:42,079
I want to be four hundred pounds. I want to

497
00:22:42,079 --> 00:22:44,160
be whatever. Nobody says that. But we end up in

498
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,279
these places. And it's not so much that you just

499
00:22:46,559 --> 00:22:49,240
are a horrible person and made horrible decisions. Yes, we're sinful,

500
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:50,960
but the problem is you let some of the wrong

501
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:55,559
thought processes in right. And so again, my care for

502
00:22:56,160 --> 00:23:00,000
men who have, you know, unfortunately accepted this burnout mentality

503
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:02,279
is it's not just that I think it's weakness, but

504
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,799
where I have care for it is because when a

505
00:23:05,799 --> 00:23:07,720
man says this to me that he's dealing with burnout,

506
00:23:08,039 --> 00:23:10,839
not only do I know that you're weak, but what

507
00:23:11,759 --> 00:23:13,920
I know is that you have the wrong view of life.

508
00:23:14,079 --> 00:23:16,599
And that's what I care for. If when you get

509
00:23:16,599 --> 00:23:18,799
the right view of life, you'll become strong. I've seen

510
00:23:18,839 --> 00:23:21,119
it hundreds of times. I don't have to navy see'll

511
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:22,720
beat you up to make you a tough guy. I

512
00:23:22,759 --> 00:23:24,640
got to get you looking at the right thing. And

513
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:27,240
when you have a relationship with the creator of the universe.

514
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,200
When you know the plans and the purposes that he

515
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:31,200
has for your life, when you know that the fact

516
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,240
that you have breath and your lungs means that he

517
00:23:33,279 --> 00:23:35,880
has a great plan for you. When you know these things,

518
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:39,160
you will do a lot more than just overcome being

519
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:40,440
a soft soy boy.

520
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,680
Speaker 2: And that's really I mean, it's wrong beliefs is what

521
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:46,680
you're saying right underneath all this, And I don't know that.

522
00:23:46,799 --> 00:23:48,680
Like one of the things that that we do on

523
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,319
the show all the time, we've covered it on biblical masculinity,

524
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:53,960
but we talk about like there's things in the Bible

525
00:23:54,079 --> 00:23:56,319
scripturally that you have to go like, Okay, Lord, you

526
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:57,440
made me. This is true.

527
00:23:57,519 --> 00:23:57,759
Speaker 1: Check.

528
00:23:58,039 --> 00:24:00,640
Speaker 2: God made you to work Genesis two fifteen. God made

529
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,400
you to be strong, multiple scriptures. Be strong, act like man.

530
00:24:03,559 --> 00:24:05,880
God made you to lead. He created men first, gave

531
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,559
him the vision. He made you to protect. I think

532
00:24:08,559 --> 00:24:10,680
it's in Micah too, he talks about like you did

533
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,319
misunderstood that you're supposed to protect the wife or your youth.

534
00:24:13,759 --> 00:24:14,920
You're made to provide.

535
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:15,400
Speaker 1: That's right.

536
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:16,319
Speaker 2: These are things that are one.

537
00:24:16,319 --> 00:24:19,640
Speaker 1: Hundred Nick is giving truth right now to try and

538
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,440
set the correct foundation. If you're still with us at

539
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:25,440
this point, let me just again give you a perspective

540
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:27,759
shift that will help you, because if you're with us,

541
00:24:27,759 --> 00:24:30,160
and this is something that maybe you're like half with us,

542
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:32,920
thinking about turning this episode off because I don't like

543
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:35,000
the way Gareth's talking to me today about what I

544
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:38,200
think is a practical reality of feeling burnout in my

545
00:24:38,319 --> 00:24:40,880
job or burnout in my life or whatever it is.

546
00:24:41,079 --> 00:24:43,079
We've all felt it. It doesn't make you a wrong person.

547
00:24:43,279 --> 00:24:45,559
But we're trying to live to be the best that

548
00:24:45,599 --> 00:24:47,599
we're called to be. And so Nick's given some foundations.

549
00:24:47,759 --> 00:24:50,599
Let me give you just a little perspective shift on

550
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,759
the way that you look out at burnout. It has

551
00:24:53,839 --> 00:24:56,519
to come from this place where you're saying, I want

552
00:24:56,599 --> 00:24:59,119
everything that God's created me to be. If you are

553
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:02,599
just thinking about, you know, how do I get to retirement,

554
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:05,759
how do I you know, live a life of ease?

555
00:25:06,079 --> 00:25:07,920
It is going down the wrong road. And so what

556
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,119
we want most for you is that you're going to

557
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:12,759
get to the end of your life and hear, well done,

558
00:25:12,799 --> 00:25:13,880
good and faithful servant.

559
00:25:14,079 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, this is I feel like this is like

560
00:25:16,279 --> 00:25:19,880
the kill weakness episode because because ultimately, because ultimately you

561
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,440
know what's you know what's weak. I think it's you guys.

562
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:24,039
You and your dad have been such a blessing to

563
00:25:24,079 --> 00:25:26,440
me because you you call like I can hear your

564
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:28,880
dad's voice that's weak, and like when I hear that,

565
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,160
I'm like, Okay, whatever he's saying, I'm going to do

566
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:33,359
the opposite and praise God for a father voice like

567
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:34,839
that to call out things that are weak, because you

568
00:25:34,839 --> 00:25:38,839
know it's weak, being selfish, being prideful, you know, quitting.

569
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:41,720
These are things that it's like weak, weakness and burnout

570
00:25:41,799 --> 00:25:43,359
leads right to all those.

571
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:45,079
Speaker 1: But you're you're given some truth, and let me just

572
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:50,079
give this perspective shift, right. The perspective shift is this, Okay, Nick,

573
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:52,400
this is one of my tools, right to look at things.

574
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:53,960
How do I look at things from the right view?

575
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:57,960
Sometimes I'll take things to the absolute extreme because if

576
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:01,079
it's true, it's true. If it's true here, it's true

577
00:26:01,079 --> 00:26:03,480
at the north pole. Right. But so when you take

578
00:26:03,519 --> 00:26:06,599
things to extremes and if they break in the extremes

579
00:26:06,599 --> 00:26:09,759
and you realize it's not truth, it's method. It's a system, right, right,

580
00:26:09,799 --> 00:26:13,400
But systems work in a certain set of criteria, right,

581
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:16,279
Like even your vehicle works at this temperature, it doesn't

582
00:26:16,279 --> 00:26:19,319
work at certain temperatures. Like things that are true, they're

583
00:26:19,319 --> 00:26:22,599
always true. Okay, and so burnout maybe you've lived by

584
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,960
this truth of burnout. Well it's not true. Let me

585
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,319
give you an example, Like burnout is you saying this

586
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:31,119
isn't worth doing anymore, which started from a seed of

587
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:34,400
this is hard, right, Okay, If I flip that on

588
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:36,400
its head, what I can prove to you is that

589
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:38,359
it doesn't matter how hard it is. You can look

590
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:40,160
at something and say this is worth doing, This is

591
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:42,680
worth pursuing, this is meaningful. And if I can prove

592
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:44,599
that to you, then it means that that burnout is

593
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:47,279
not true. Burnout's a broken system that you've fallen into.

594
00:26:47,319 --> 00:26:49,200
And so let me give you this perspective shift that

595
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:51,759
flips that on its head. Okay. This is what I

596
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,160
use with guys, and you know I'm personal and one

597
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:56,519
on one conversations I share with them. I say, you know,

598
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,680
people who come to me talking about burnout, I say, well,

599
00:27:00,279 --> 00:27:02,559
let's just go to an extreme environment really quick. What

600
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:06,000
if you know your family is trapped, Your family is

601
00:27:06,039 --> 00:27:08,839
trapped and you're the only one that can save them. Right,

602
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:12,240
If you don't do something, your whole family is going

603
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:15,720
to die. And just think of something extreme like climb

604
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,039
Mount Everest or run a thousand miles or just something

605
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:22,799
extremely extreme of like that's insanely hard along that journey.

606
00:27:23,319 --> 00:27:24,920
Do you think there's any point where I'd come to

607
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:26,680
you and you'd be like, man, this is just what's

608
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:28,799
a lot harder than I thought it would be, and

609
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:32,079
I don't know if this is worth doing anymore now, Yeah,

610
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:33,640
it's probably harder than you thought it would be. You've

611
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:35,400
never run a thousand miles before, you probably not climb

612
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:38,720
Mount Everest. But at no point are you going to

613
00:27:38,759 --> 00:27:41,359
look at that and be like, well, you know, I

614
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:44,319
really wanted to save my family, but five hundred miles

615
00:27:44,319 --> 00:27:46,880
was the limit for me at five ozho one just

616
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,640
not worth saving my family anymore. No, Because you know

617
00:27:49,759 --> 00:27:51,960
it's right. If you're a real man, you'd give your

618
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:54,480
life for your family, and so you're you know what,

619
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:57,079
the only right attitude to having that is, like, I

620
00:27:57,079 --> 00:27:59,160
don't even know if I'm capable of running a thousand miles.

621
00:27:59,279 --> 00:28:01,359
That sounds insane, but I'm just gonna keep putting one

622
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:02,960
foot in front of the other until I die or

623
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,640
my family's alive. Right, Well, that's it, right, there's no

624
00:28:05,839 --> 00:28:09,480
burnout in that extreme situation. Okay, and that is extreme.

625
00:28:09,839 --> 00:28:12,920
But what extremes do is extremes give you clarity. And

626
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:16,359
in that extreme it's like, yeah, I would die for that. Well,

627
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:18,200
we talk about that on this show a lot. The

628
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:20,960
things that you want to spend your life living for

629
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:24,079
should be the things that you are also worth dying for. Yeah,

630
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:26,680
And so burnout happens in this reality where you're living

631
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:27,400
for the wrong things.

632
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:29,559
Speaker 2: Yeah. And what you talked about is a great level

633
00:28:29,559 --> 00:28:31,720
of conviction. And when I was given those truths of

634
00:28:31,799 --> 00:28:33,400
God made you to work. He made you to be strong,

635
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:36,359
and made you to lead, protect and provide. I hope

636
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:39,160
you spend time deeply considering these things. I mean, you

637
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:41,440
said that following God is a superpower, but it's following

638
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:44,279
God for real, right, It's not like, hey, I'll throw

639
00:28:44,319 --> 00:28:46,519
some scripture on it. I read this Napoleon Hill book

640
00:28:46,559 --> 00:28:48,759
that he used scripture, and so I guess God wants

641
00:28:48,799 --> 00:28:50,279
me to make a bunch of money. Your level of

642
00:28:50,319 --> 00:28:52,960
conviction is not strong on that when you've actually sat

643
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,000
there and you've held before the Lord, and guess what

644
00:28:55,039 --> 00:28:57,799
you have to do. You have to seek. There's no chat,

645
00:28:57,839 --> 00:29:00,440
GPT or AI solution to give me a level of

646
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:03,039
conviction in a in a you know, twenty minute sit down.

647
00:29:03,319 --> 00:29:05,000
These are things that you have to work over in

648
00:29:05,079 --> 00:29:07,920
your mind and consider these truths, because once you've seen

649
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,240
the man, you can't unseem that's right. Once you know them,

650
00:29:10,319 --> 00:29:13,039
you can't unknow them, and you will run forever. I

651
00:29:13,079 --> 00:29:14,839
remember whenever we were coaching and I said, what's the

652
00:29:14,839 --> 00:29:16,200
measure of a man? You said that he would be

653
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:19,119
facing overwhelming obstacles like death and still be faithful all

654
00:29:19,119 --> 00:29:19,759
the way to the end.

655
00:29:20,119 --> 00:29:22,799
Speaker 1: And that wasn't exactly Well, that's exactly what it is.

656
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:26,079
It's two Timothy, Chapter four, verse seven. I have fought

657
00:29:26,079 --> 00:29:28,680
the good fight. I have finished the race. He didn't

658
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:30,960
say I'm a champion, I had total victory, I won

659
00:29:31,039 --> 00:29:33,920
every battle. He said, I fought the fight. I finished

660
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:35,680
the race, which means you fought all the way to

661
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:38,960
the end. And what is the what is the substance

662
00:29:39,319 --> 00:29:42,480
of having finished the races? I kept the faith. That's

663
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:45,279
I maintain conviction all the way to the end. Doesn't

664
00:29:45,319 --> 00:29:47,960
mean I won every battle. This is what a great

665
00:29:48,079 --> 00:29:50,799
life is. Yeah, that you got focused on the right

666
00:29:50,839 --> 00:29:52,799
thing and you ran as hard as you could and

667
00:29:52,839 --> 00:29:54,400
you didn't say, oh man, this is harder than.

668
00:29:54,279 --> 00:29:56,319
Speaker 2: I thought it was gonna be. Yeah, so good. All right,

669
00:29:56,319 --> 00:29:58,279
We're gonna give you two tools, one for the short

670
00:29:58,359 --> 00:30:00,720
term and one for the long term to combat this.

671
00:30:01,319 --> 00:30:03,039
But I do want to I do want to go

672
00:30:03,119 --> 00:30:05,759
with one. I do want to raise one kind of

673
00:30:05,799 --> 00:30:08,799
counterpoint g because somebody might be out there and be like, Okay, guys,

674
00:30:08,799 --> 00:30:11,359
I hear you, like I'm actually accepting what you're saying.

675
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:13,799
I am getting fired up. But energy is still It's true.

676
00:30:14,039 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 1: We live in physical bodies, correct, We have an infinite

677
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:20,799
spirit that God's given us. We serve an infinite God.

678
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:22,960
But my flesh has limits.

679
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:25,200
Speaker 2: For sure, very sure, Yeah, for sure it does. And

680
00:30:25,519 --> 00:30:27,279
I think I think we were not.

681
00:30:28,079 --> 00:30:30,039
Speaker 1: The point though, is and we'll talk about this, but

682
00:30:30,519 --> 00:30:32,880
a lot of people, if that's your focus, if that's

683
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:36,119
your primary focus point is my flesh has limits, They're

684
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:37,799
going to become a lot smaller than you think.

685
00:30:37,839 --> 00:30:38,279
Speaker 2: For sure.

686
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 1: The way this is not the primary push of this episode.

687
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:43,799
It's really the secondary, but one of the takeaways you

688
00:30:43,799 --> 00:30:46,279
need to have is also guys are telling me they

689
00:30:46,319 --> 00:30:48,000
got burnt out. It's like, one, you might be running

690
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,279
the wrong race. Let's just talk about your life in

691
00:30:50,319 --> 00:30:53,000
the context of like a race, like a half marathon, marathon,

692
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:55,799
ultra marathon, whatever it is. Maybe you're running the wrong race,

693
00:30:56,359 --> 00:30:58,559
but you're probably running the right race and you're just

694
00:30:58,559 --> 00:31:01,000
not thinking about it the right way. But also you're

695
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:04,039
telling me you got burnout on a marathon. And which

696
00:31:04,079 --> 00:31:06,680
you also need to have is like some perspective of

697
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:09,240
like last week that was one of the biggest races

698
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:12,119
is the Coco Donna where these guys run or you know,

699
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:14,960
a woman want one, which which is really interesting thing

700
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:17,680
how women are like the elite athletes in ultra which

701
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:21,759
lands towards their physiology. Their physiology is meant for long

702
00:31:21,839 --> 00:31:24,680
ULTRUNI it's a different episode. But anyways, looking at your

703
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:27,359
life in this context of like you're telling me you

704
00:31:27,359 --> 00:31:29,680
got burnout on a marathon, you need a perspective shift

705
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:31,720
of like, dude, people run like one hundred and two

706
00:31:31,799 --> 00:31:33,960
hundred miles. I'm not asking you to run a two

707
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,480
hundred millar message, just run your marathon and have a

708
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:38,200
good attitude running your marathon and give all that you

709
00:31:38,279 --> 00:31:40,960
got right and if you quit, like man, twenty six

710
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:42,759
miles is a lot, but it's not one hundred miles,

711
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:45,119
and people are capable of running a hundred miles. I'm

712
00:31:45,119 --> 00:31:47,759
gonna give all I got for twenty six. That's a

713
00:31:47,799 --> 00:31:51,119
reframe for you. So just we're going to talk about

714
00:31:51,119 --> 00:31:54,920
how energy is finite and how to manage a limited

715
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:58,279
flesh with an infinite spirit, with an infinite God that

716
00:31:58,319 --> 00:32:00,559
he's given us a great purpose to serve. We're going

717
00:32:00,559 --> 00:32:01,839
to talk about how to manage your flexh with this,

718
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:04,640
but also just understand maybe a little bit of perspective shift.

719
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:06,000
If it's not as hard as you think it is.

720
00:32:06,079 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 2: That's exactly right. So first of all, you have to

721
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:10,559
realize you can you can do more changing your definition

722
00:32:10,759 --> 00:32:13,960
of hard will. I was because I'm listening to all

723
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:15,839
our old episodes as part of the Basic Discipline training.

724
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:18,640
I was talking about how my definition of hard changed

725
00:32:18,799 --> 00:32:20,480
that when I had I don't want to say dysentery,

726
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:23,160
but when I had a parasite after Costa Rica, all

727
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:24,880
I kept telling myself was at least I don't have

728
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:28,640
to run one hundred Buyer while I'm also ejecting my.

729
00:32:28,559 --> 00:32:33,359
Speaker 1: Wife's eternal perspective shift is Louis Zamporini. Yeah right, and

730
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:35,279
that's we talked about. Nick knows what I'm talking about.

731
00:32:35,279 --> 00:32:37,240
We talked about that a lot from the story of Unbroken.

732
00:32:37,599 --> 00:32:40,000
She like, even when it's hard for her, she's like, well,

733
00:32:40,079 --> 00:32:42,920
at least I'm not like being beaten and starved and

734
00:32:43,079 --> 00:32:46,079
think I'm going to die and I eat out of

735
00:32:46,119 --> 00:32:48,559
the same bowl that I you know, have dysentery into.

736
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, like, when one of your best friends is the

737
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:52,200
navy seal, how can I come in back? Dude, I'm

738
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:53,759
a little tired and I only got five hours of

739
00:32:53,799 --> 00:32:56,720
sleep last night. Like that, that is completely dead now,

740
00:32:56,799 --> 00:32:58,799
And that's the power of perspective. So first of all,

741
00:32:58,799 --> 00:33:01,880
you realize, okay, I'm making I'm telling myself a story

742
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:04,960
that's just that's very limited. But there is there's wisdom

743
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:07,839
to this. We've got great episodes on energy budget Go

744
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:08,559
look that up at.

745
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:10,880
Speaker 1: This just so you know, I don't you know, sleep

746
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:11,759
three hours every night?

747
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:14,559
Speaker 2: No, yeah, exactly, there's energy budgeting. I mean we're big

748
00:33:14,599 --> 00:33:17,680
on whoop for example, understanding that every yes is a

749
00:33:17,759 --> 00:33:19,640
note to something else and that things cost you more

750
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:21,359
than you think, so you need to learn to estimate

751
00:33:21,359 --> 00:33:24,240
and have awareness. There's lots of practical wisdom that will

752
00:33:24,279 --> 00:33:25,720
help you with the with the energy.

753
00:33:25,839 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 1: One of the biggest things though, is attitude. It's why

754
00:33:29,799 --> 00:33:33,480
it's one of my core values. Attitude determines your altitude. Okay,

755
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:36,039
And you're like, oh, that's a cheesy phrase. Whatever I've

756
00:33:36,039 --> 00:33:38,400
lived my life by. That's working pretty good for me, Okay,

757
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:41,799
So catch some reframe here on attitude as it relates

758
00:33:41,799 --> 00:33:46,480
to energy. If if I tell you right there, I

759
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:49,559
could do the same experience with people where it's like, hey,

760
00:33:49,839 --> 00:33:51,440
come meet me at four thirty in the morning for

761
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:55,400
a Navy seal workout, and it's going to be physically hard. Now,

762
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:57,039
if you didn't want to do that and you got

763
00:33:57,079 --> 00:33:59,759
forced to do it, at the end of that, after

764
00:33:59,759 --> 00:34:02,079
the workout, you're gonna be like, oh, I just got

765
00:34:02,079 --> 00:34:04,599
to like that was so mentally hard for me. It's

766
00:34:04,599 --> 00:34:06,200
physically hard, but it was so mentally hard for me.

767
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:08,159
I need to like rest the rest of the day. Now.

768
00:34:08,159 --> 00:34:10,639
There are other people who would drive across the country

769
00:34:10,639 --> 00:34:12,400
and pay a lot of money for that experience, and

770
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:14,000
they would come out of that it'd be like a

771
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,000
two hour, two and a half hour workout. It's like

772
00:34:16,079 --> 00:34:18,440
beat down of a workout and be six thirty or

773
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:21,840
seven in the morning after that, And there are people

774
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:23,559
who would have driven across the country and paid money

775
00:34:23,559 --> 00:34:24,679
for that and after that experience like this is the

776
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:25,920
best day, Like what are we going to go to do?

777
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:30,480
Like again, yeah, yeah, this is amazing, same workout and

778
00:34:30,559 --> 00:34:32,239
I don't want to say same flesh, but like I mean,

779
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:35,159
they're humans just like anybody else. But the attitude that

780
00:34:35,199 --> 00:34:37,719
they had towards it. For some people, it took energy

781
00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:40,039
out of them. For other people, it gave them energy.

782
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:43,480
And just understand the attitude that you have towards certain things.

783
00:34:44,199 --> 00:34:46,800
I've had some days recently that it was a lot

784
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:48,599
of work for me. It was a lot of things

785
00:34:48,639 --> 00:34:52,320
that would drain me. But because I'm so passionate about

786
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:54,800
to have so much conviction for what I'm doing. Like

787
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:57,079
I was telling Nick this story in the warm up

788
00:34:57,199 --> 00:34:58,480
of how I had a day the other day where

789
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:01,679
it's like, I mean, just razy day and I didn't

790
00:35:01,679 --> 00:35:05,039
realize how tired I was until the end of I

791
00:35:05,079 --> 00:35:07,199
literally got in bed and it was like someone just

792
00:35:07,199 --> 00:35:09,079
pulled my batteries out and I felt like my body

793
00:35:09,079 --> 00:35:11,519
couldn't move. But I didn't feel that way all day

794
00:35:11,519 --> 00:35:14,840
because I was so like just jacked up, excited about

795
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:17,760
what I was doing, and all day giving my fullest

796
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:21,159
best effort, proud of what I was doing, proud of

797
00:35:21,199 --> 00:35:23,239
the performance I was having, and then at the end

798
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:25,559
of the day got in bed like, oh gosh, like

799
00:35:25,599 --> 00:35:27,960
I just was unaware because I was so I had

800
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:29,599
so much conviction for us that I had had the right

801
00:35:29,639 --> 00:35:30,400
attitude about it.

802
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:32,519
Speaker 2: What you were doing, yeah, I did.

803
00:35:32,519 --> 00:35:34,400
Speaker 1: I believed in it, And so I just say that

804
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:38,840
to say, if your kids are making you tired, okay,

805
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:40,480
it's one of the greatest things you can do with

806
00:35:40,519 --> 00:35:43,920
your life. Right, I get it. I got kids too. Okay,

807
00:35:44,079 --> 00:35:46,559
Nick's got kids, and I got little kids. Nick has

808
00:35:46,599 --> 00:35:51,000
won little I got three littles, and you can have that.

809
00:35:51,039 --> 00:35:54,079
I was like, oh gosh, this is draining. Think differently

810
00:35:54,119 --> 00:35:56,760
about it, have a different attitude, and it can give

811
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:58,519
you energy instead of de energize you.

812
00:35:58,639 --> 00:36:01,360
Speaker 2: So good, all right, let's give them the let's give

813
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:03,760
them the two tools, g real quick. And I just

814
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:06,920
I want to just read this because you said this

815
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:09,400
so well. I said to you, Well, I'll just ask

816
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:11,199
you again, you could say, rather than me reading your

817
00:36:11,199 --> 00:36:14,400
own words, I asked you the question when is it okay?

818
00:36:14,599 --> 00:36:16,880
Like surely there's sometimes when it's okay to quit and

819
00:36:17,199 --> 00:36:19,400
okay like it like to walk away? Like you talked

820
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:21,519
about how sometimes maybe you are doing the wrong things,

821
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:23,639
And I said, like, when is it actually okay to

822
00:36:23,679 --> 00:36:25,920
walk away? Then if we're saying, like, hey, quitting is

823
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:27,639
the weakest thing you can do, which we are saying,

824
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,360
and we're talking about burnout, I said, what's the criteria

825
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:32,360
that somebody should use for when they should walk away

826
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:32,840
from something?

827
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:36,159
Speaker 1: Well, the I'll give you the wrong criteria, right, The

828
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:40,440
wrong criteria is you looking at a situation and saying,

829
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:43,239
like determining if you should keep going, about how hard

830
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:45,840
it is you have set yourself on the wrong course.

831
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:48,440
And I watched people do this and seal training. Right,

832
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:51,880
the I watched the best runner in our class, an

833
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:55,559
Olympic trialist athlete, quit on an unknown distance run. This

834
00:36:55,599 --> 00:36:58,280
guy could outrun me on the worst day of his life. Yeah,

835
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:01,079
my best performance was not better than his best performance

836
00:37:01,199 --> 00:37:04,679
his worst performance. It's crazy. That's not an exaggeration. I

837
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:07,559
made it that day and he didn't, which is it'll

838
00:37:07,559 --> 00:37:09,960
baffle me for the rest of my life. It'll baffle

839
00:37:10,079 --> 00:37:12,400
me in the power of mindset, right, And that's why

840
00:37:12,639 --> 00:37:14,559
like I went in with mindset and I came out

841
00:37:14,559 --> 00:37:17,320
with like, yeah, mindset is the way to go right,

842
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:21,480
Like athletic ability, genetics, talent, grit, these things are excellent.

843
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:24,159
Mindset trumps them all, right. The way you think about

844
00:37:24,199 --> 00:37:26,400
your situation, I love that. And the reason the reason

845
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:30,079
this guy gave up is because not because it wasn't

846
00:37:30,119 --> 00:37:32,599
because he couldn't do it, is because it became more

847
00:37:32,599 --> 00:37:35,760
than he thought. And he had he had set out

848
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:38,559
on this journey and this is scripture, by the way,

849
00:37:39,519 --> 00:37:43,079
right where thinking about like if if you estimate wrong

850
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:45,440
or start with the wrong estimation, you're going to fail

851
00:37:45,519 --> 00:37:47,880
on any journey. And he had set out on this

852
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:50,760
journey not with is this the most meaningful thing? Right?

853
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:52,679
The right way is the look at your situation. Is

854
00:37:52,679 --> 00:37:55,239
is this worth giving my life to? No? He said,

855
00:37:55,519 --> 00:37:57,199
do I think I can? Like I think it's this

856
00:37:57,320 --> 00:38:00,440
hard and I think I can do that, right, But

857
00:38:00,519 --> 00:38:02,320
as soon as it becomes harder than you thought it

858
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:05,480
was gonna be, you're like, well, unknown territory here. I

859
00:38:05,519 --> 00:38:09,320
should just quit. This is this is scary, this is dangerous. Yeah,

860
00:38:09,639 --> 00:38:11,920
I did not expect what you said. Even though I

861
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:13,400
knew the answer, I didn't know you were gonna tell

862
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:17,039
that story. I am absolutely like jacked right now, because

863
00:38:17,079 --> 00:38:19,119
you know what I love about that, Ge, There's some

864
00:38:19,159 --> 00:38:22,039
people and I've got We've got friends. Physically, they're just

865
00:38:22,039 --> 00:38:24,960
better than us. They got they got no truthfully for sure,

866
00:38:25,199 --> 00:38:28,239
trust me, I live with that unfortunate reality all the time.

867
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:30,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, our ceiling is nowhere near what there's is. And

868
00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:33,159
that's just true. But you know what's great about mindset,

869
00:38:33,639 --> 00:38:36,400
Nobody sets a limit on that except for you. Anybody

870
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:38,719
can tap into what you just said. They really love that.

871
00:38:39,079 --> 00:38:42,760
As the scriptures say, the race is not to the swiftest. Yeah, man,

872
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:44,599
I love that, dude. I feel like we just turn off.

873
00:38:44,599 --> 00:38:45,920
But let's let's give this to them quickly.

874
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:46,119
Speaker 1: Gee.

875
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:48,840
Speaker 2: The very first the instant fixed and we've given this

876
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:51,639
to them so much is vision. Garrett just gave you

877
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:55,880
so much perspective in this episode of how to think

878
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:59,239
about what you're doing, Like this is you leading yourself.

879
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:01,000
I do this morning, you do this in the morning.

880
00:39:01,079 --> 00:39:02,320
What do you say to yourself first thing when you

881
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:02,639
wake up.

882
00:39:02,679 --> 00:39:07,280
Speaker 1: Gee, I have a daily decoration. You can listen to it. Well,

883
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:10,599
the first thing I say is today's the day. Thank

884
00:39:10,639 --> 00:39:13,159
you God for the breath and my lungs, which means

885
00:39:13,199 --> 00:39:15,920
that you have a great plan for my life. Today's

886
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:17,960
the day that the Lord has made. I will rejoice

887
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:19,639
and be glad in it, for the joy Lord is

888
00:39:19,679 --> 00:39:21,440
my strength, and I can do all things through Christ,

889
00:39:21,519 --> 00:39:23,440
who strengthens me. I get up and I just start

890
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:25,960
saying positive things. And the things I just said are

891
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:27,599
some stuff I've been taught to say since I was

892
00:39:27,599 --> 00:39:29,559
a little kid. Yeah, okay, but then I've also have

893
00:39:29,599 --> 00:39:33,679
a daily declaration that I listen to now because we

894
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:36,239
have it recorded on the podcast. But it's something I

895
00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:38,440
wrote out and that I say to myself. You got

896
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:40,800
to start yourself in the right direction. You got to

897
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:43,519
start with just these little kids. Why do I do that?

898
00:39:43,559 --> 00:39:46,480
Why is it so important? Right? It's getting myself thinking

899
00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:51,519
about the right things, because really the superpower, right, one

900
00:39:51,519 --> 00:39:55,000
of the superpowers that overcomes burnout is vision. It's what

901
00:39:55,039 --> 00:39:57,119
I've been talking about, is if you set out on

902
00:39:57,159 --> 00:39:59,679
the wrong journey, folks, in the wrong direction, you're eventually

903
00:39:59,679 --> 00:40:02,599
going to. But if you know, like man, this is

904
00:40:02,639 --> 00:40:03,880
harder than I thought it was going to be. There's

905
00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:05,519
way more obstacles here than I thought they were going

906
00:40:05,599 --> 00:40:07,519
to be. But I can see where I'm going. I

907
00:40:07,599 --> 00:40:10,079
know this is the right direction. I'm locked in. I

908
00:40:10,119 --> 00:40:13,000
got mission focus, and even if this mission fails, I

909
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:16,199
have vision superiority in my life where I know what

910
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:18,599
matters most and I'm just gonna keep going no matter what.

911
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:21,840
Right that is a superpower. And what I'm doing with

912
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:24,920
daily declarations is I'm setting myself up with focusing on

913
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:26,960
the right things. God is a plan for my life.

914
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:29,400
I want what God has for my life. My day

915
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:31,360
is going to be excellent, my thinking is going to

916
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:31,920
be excellent.

917
00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:34,840
Speaker 2: And we're not saying shout affirmations in the mirror. This

918
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:36,280
is any We can give this to you, and you

919
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:38,400
can do it right now. What Garrett just said, You

920
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:41,280
wake up, You remind yourself of what's true. You remind

921
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:45,719
yourself why today matters, and you be smart about this

922
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:48,320
look ahead at your day. I don't know that there's

923
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:49,960
anybody that's listening to this that's like, I have no

924
00:40:50,039 --> 00:40:52,360
idea what I'm doing today. You know you're going to work,

925
00:40:52,559 --> 00:40:54,079
you know you're going to have certain things. Can you

926
00:40:54,079 --> 00:40:57,360
predict everything? No, but you can look ahead and say,

927
00:40:57,400 --> 00:40:59,280
you know what God is with me. I'm there to

928
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:01,119
make a difference as a planning person for my life

929
00:41:01,119 --> 00:41:02,599
and it's not about me. So I'm going to go

930
00:41:02,639 --> 00:41:04,840
into every situation. I'm going to be a blessing. I'm

931
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:06,840
going to have a positive attitude. What are you doing.

932
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:10,239
You're giving vision to your day, You're giving purpose to

933
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:12,840
your day. You can do this instantly, and guess what

934
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:15,000
if you do it every single day? What do you

935
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:16,639
think your life's going to look like? Do you think

936
00:41:16,679 --> 00:41:18,320
you're going to be coming back on like? Oh man,

937
00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:21,840
I'm just feeling so burnt out. This is really hard. No,

938
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:25,280
you've told yourself beforehand. Anything that comes my way that's

939
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:27,239
an obstacle is an opportunity for me to grow. I

940
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:28,920
know that God makes all things work together for the

941
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:30,519
good of those who love Him and are called according

942
00:41:30,519 --> 00:41:33,400
to his purpose. He loves me, right, I love him.

943
00:41:33,519 --> 00:41:35,400
I'm called according to his purpose. So if it's hard,

944
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:36,599
it's something for me to learn.

945
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:40,159
Speaker 1: Now you're ready, and by the way, just real quick, right,

946
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:43,400
we're touching on these things because we've spent a lot

947
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:45,960
of time talking about them on other episodes. Sure, vision

948
00:41:46,119 --> 00:41:48,960
and purpose, Right, you want to get your life focused

949
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:51,280
on the thing that is worth dying for today is

950
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:54,239
not where we're unpacking all of that. We're saying, when

951
00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:57,280
you have these things, it's what helps you overcome burnout. Right,

952
00:41:57,280 --> 00:42:00,480
If you have burnout, you have the wrong mindset, wrongpective,

953
00:42:00,559 --> 00:42:02,079
or your focus on the wrong things. And we have

954
00:42:02,199 --> 00:42:04,280
other episodes that you can go listen to to help

955
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:06,119
you understand how do I find my purpose? How do

956
00:42:06,199 --> 00:42:08,199
I balance what's in my heart and what's in my hand?

957
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:10,480
What is the course to knowing what God's plan for

958
00:42:10,559 --> 00:42:11,920
my life is. We have all of that, We just

959
00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:13,880
can't do it all in one episode, or these episodes

960
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:16,760
would be ten hour episodes to unpack every single piece

961
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:17,199
along the way.

962
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:19,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure, and but we just wanted, like you

963
00:42:19,599 --> 00:42:22,559
can have vision instantly. The next one g which is

964
00:42:22,559 --> 00:42:24,320
this the longer term, is resiliency.

965
00:42:24,599 --> 00:42:30,280
Speaker 1: Man. Resiliency is the resiliency is one of the primary

966
00:42:30,679 --> 00:42:33,440
primary we started this episode talking about following God is

967
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:36,960
a superpower. Okay, Resiliency is one of the primary superpowers

968
00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:40,119
that comes from following God. And let me just you know,

969
00:42:40,199 --> 00:42:42,320
before we get into like unpacking all this, let me

970
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:46,199
just give you the headline on what resiliency is by definition.

971
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:49,880
By definition, resiliency is the ability of a substance to

972
00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:53,960
return to its original form. Yep. Right, Like you throw

973
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:55,960
a lot of cookie dough on the ground, it splats

974
00:42:56,199 --> 00:42:59,639
zero resiliency, it becomes what's happened to it? Okay. The

975
00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:02,199
reason and bouncy balls bounce really high is because if

976
00:43:02,199 --> 00:43:04,920
you watched it and like high speed photography, you throw

977
00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:07,519
this little rubber bouncy ball at the ground and it

978
00:43:07,679 --> 00:43:10,119
like as it hits the ground, it spreads out like

979
00:43:10,119 --> 00:43:12,719
a water cookie dough over a few milliseconds and then

980
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:16,880
very quickly returns to form, and that reaction makes it bounce,

981
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:19,000
you know, twenty thirty feet up in the air. Right,

982
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:22,559
It returns to form really quickly. And that where that

983
00:43:22,599 --> 00:43:25,320
comes from is what's inside you is stronger than what's

984
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:29,599
outside of you. My experience of going through this in

985
00:43:29,639 --> 00:43:32,679
seal training was I had a really difficult external force.

986
00:43:33,039 --> 00:43:35,880
It's called buds. It's known as the hardest training in

987
00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:39,840
the military. And I had instructors who were and other

988
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:41,679
forces in my life telling me you're not this, You're

989
00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:44,800
not this, you're not that. And those were strong and

990
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:47,519
what some people would say true external forces. Some of

991
00:43:47,559 --> 00:43:50,480
the things they told me were facts. But what the

992
00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:52,679
way that I responded to that, and how I kept

993
00:43:52,679 --> 00:43:55,239
going through that, how I maintained resiliency. But I said,

994
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:56,760
what you're saying may be true, but I know a

995
00:43:56,760 --> 00:44:00,840
greater truth. Right I talked about I said, you may

996
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:03,079
be right, but I trust my dad more than I

997
00:44:03,119 --> 00:44:05,440
trust to you. What my father told me about me.

998
00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:07,880
He knows me way better than you know me. So

999
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:10,280
I'm going to listen to that instead of you. And

1000
00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:12,320
that's a really quick package. We could spend a lot

1001
00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:14,559
of time talking about that, but really quick package of

1002
00:44:14,559 --> 00:44:17,440
how resiliency is supposed to work. That what's inside of

1003
00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:20,039
you is stronger than what's outside of you. And if

1004
00:44:20,039 --> 00:44:21,920
you don't have a strong identity, if you don't know

1005
00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:23,960
who you are on the inside, you're not going to

1006
00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:26,800
have resiliency when hard things happen to you. You're going

1007
00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:29,000
to get splait, you're going to get crushed. And so

1008
00:44:29,079 --> 00:44:33,440
really that is the superpower of following God. And the

1009
00:44:33,679 --> 00:44:37,440
understanding of resiliency is that it comes through identity. It's

1010
00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:40,679
identity based recovery to any difficult situation.

1011
00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:42,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, so good. And if you want deeper on that,

1012
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:45,760
Episodes two and episodes eighty one are when we call

1013
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:48,519
it resiliency in depth. But that really is the long

1014
00:44:48,639 --> 00:44:51,360
term and because identity takes a longer term to form,

1015
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:53,679
that's why we say it's the longer term solution. But

1016
00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:56,519
you as, I love that, you always do g You said, well,

1017
00:44:56,639 --> 00:44:58,679
what are the people that hack identity? You said, there's

1018
00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:01,440
actors to make. They make one hard decision and they

1019
00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:02,039
just run.

1020
00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:04,000
Speaker 1: If you want to. Yeah, Nick's like, well, man, identity

1021
00:45:04,079 --> 00:45:07,800
is hard for people. It is, right. The greatest performance

1022
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:11,159
I've seen of developing identity is actors do this right.

1023
00:45:11,199 --> 00:45:12,639
They like they take on a role. It's that I

1024
00:45:12,639 --> 00:45:15,119
have to become this person. And they do because every

1025
00:45:15,159 --> 00:45:17,000
day they get up in the morning, they work out

1026
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:19,639
like that person, They read big books from that person's life.

1027
00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:22,159
They spend time with people who've been in that scenario.

1028
00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:25,840
They do everything they can for six months, for nine months.

1029
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:28,480
Sometimes like extreme roles, these guys will spend a year

1030
00:45:28,519 --> 00:45:30,760
or two years preparing everything they do all day long.

1031
00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:32,320
They think about it, they talk about it, they eat it,

1032
00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:34,719
they spend time with it. It's all they do, and

1033
00:45:35,119 --> 00:45:37,840
six months a year down the road, they are the

1034
00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:41,119
greatest representation that the world's you know, Hollywood, for all

1035
00:45:41,119 --> 00:45:43,119
of it's evil, it doesn't know how to make illustrate

1036
00:45:43,119 --> 00:45:46,199
things really well. Yeah, and it becomes the greatest representation

1037
00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:48,639
of the embodiment of an idea or a person. That's

1038
00:45:48,639 --> 00:45:50,400
what an actor does. And I'm thinking of some of

1039
00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:52,199
the actors that I like who are so good at that.

1040
00:45:52,639 --> 00:45:55,679
They develop an identity. Now it's not based on truth,

1041
00:45:55,719 --> 00:45:58,599
but that is the identity development process. That's what's possible

1042
00:45:58,639 --> 00:46:00,440
for an identity. And if you don't want to take

1043
00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:02,480
the extreme actor method, then it just turns into a

1044
00:46:02,519 --> 00:46:04,880
journey for you. It's a very long hike of like, look,

1045
00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:06,480
I'm just gonna, I know what the right direction is.

1046
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:09,199
I'm gonna keep going in this direction. I probably can't,

1047
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:11,519
you know, go from having a weak man identity to

1048
00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:15,280
becoming a superpower, you know, Christian for God on the

1049
00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:17,400
earth in six months. But I'm just going to keep

1050
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:19,360
going in that direction and you'll get there. It's just

1051
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:20,519
gonna take you a little bit longer.

1052
00:46:20,639 --> 00:46:23,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, So good, all right, man, We tore down weakness

1053
00:46:23,880 --> 00:46:26,880
that is burnout and so much of selfishness and pride

1054
00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:29,880
and everything that's in there. Gave you some tools. Garrett's

1055
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:31,920
what's the what's the parting shot here?

1056
00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:36,079
Speaker 1: Man? Do not do not? You've got to have this

1057
00:46:36,679 --> 00:46:38,840
same reaction that I do. Right. It's one of the

1058
00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:41,119
things that Nick has taken away from me. He talks

1059
00:46:41,119 --> 00:46:43,039
about it. I love hearing it like he talks about

1060
00:46:43,039 --> 00:46:45,239
it in his family. It's what's what my dad gave

1061
00:46:45,320 --> 00:46:47,639
to me of Like my dad would say all the time,

1062
00:46:47,639 --> 00:46:49,679
like that's week, son, Like that's week. I wish you

1063
00:46:49,679 --> 00:46:51,519
could see yourself right now. And it's one of the

1064
00:46:51,519 --> 00:46:53,960
greatest perspectives I have is the way I look at

1065
00:46:53,960 --> 00:46:56,840
myself going through difficulty. I don't want to be something

1066
00:46:56,880 --> 00:46:59,679
like think about what you We've talked about attitude before

1067
00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:02,039
on the episode where we did just attitude, and the

1068
00:47:02,079 --> 00:47:06,559
definition of attitude is like a sculpture, Like what's the sculpture?

1069
00:47:06,559 --> 00:47:08,960
You know when you look at the sculpture of the

1070
00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:11,440
statue of David, that's his life, it's who he is.

1071
00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:14,039
It is a freeze frame of who he is. You

1072
00:47:14,079 --> 00:47:16,360
know what David was not. David was not burnout. When

1073
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:18,039
you look at the statue of David, You're not like, man,

1074
00:47:18,079 --> 00:47:20,280
that guy really is feeling sorry for himself for sure, okay.

1075
00:47:20,599 --> 00:47:22,599
Or when you look at a person in a painting

1076
00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:25,440
attitude is like it's a freeze frame for you. And

1077
00:47:25,559 --> 00:47:28,280
think about taking your entire life and what would it

1078
00:47:28,320 --> 00:47:30,760
look like if someone painted you or someone sculpted a

1079
00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:33,440
statue of you. If you're someone who's like living your

1080
00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:35,960
life and burnout, you be embarrassed by what that statue

1081
00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:38,000
looks like. And so what I want you to have

1082
00:47:38,039 --> 00:47:40,599
the takeaway from today is begin to have some of

1083
00:47:40,639 --> 00:47:45,039
this you know, vomit reaction to the weakness that is burnout.

1084
00:47:45,119 --> 00:47:48,000
I'm not just beaten up burnout. What I'm beating up

1085
00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:51,519
is this diseased way of thinking that we've let ourselves

1086
00:47:51,599 --> 00:47:54,639
fall into that's taking us away from becoming everything that

1087
00:47:54,679 --> 00:47:56,639
God's created us to be. So I just hope that

1088
00:47:56,679 --> 00:47:58,800
what your reaction from today is there's so much more

1089
00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:00,159
in the show for you, so much more and the

1090
00:48:00,159 --> 00:48:02,119
impossible life for you. We want to help you become

1091
00:48:02,159 --> 00:48:04,039
what God's called you to be. But I just hope

1092
00:48:04,079 --> 00:48:06,880
your takeaway from today is that when these little thoughts

1093
00:48:07,159 --> 00:48:09,840
start coming in. Like we talk about where hard becomes.

1094
00:48:09,840 --> 00:48:11,800
It's harder than I thought, where it becomes I don't

1095
00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:14,519
know if this is meaningful anymore. That you respond to

1096
00:48:14,559 --> 00:48:16,639
that the same way we talked about responding to porn.

1097
00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:18,679
Not this is hard, not how do I manage it?

1098
00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:22,480
But that's evil. Thank you very much for listening.
