02:30Welcome, welcome, welcome. Welcome on in. Welcome to the 411 podcast. It is Sunday,
02:58and this is Spiritual Sunday. I want to welcome you all in. I want to say thank you so much to
03:04everyone out there who is supporting. If you could please like, comment, subscribe, share,
03:11tag a friend, let them know exactly what we have going on here inside the 411 podcast.
03:17But before we go ahead and get started, I want to go ahead and give a very special thank you
03:22to my executive producer. I want to thank God for giving me another opportunity to come out here
03:28and give you the 411 podcast. We got a great show tonight,
03:33track 19, tithe, tolls and trust, rebuilding spiritual boundaries in the name of peace.
03:42So let's get right on into this here. I want to give a recap from our last episode.
03:49So for those of you who missed last episode, please go ahead and watch that replay.
03:56But we were helping out Roland from Newark, New Jersey. And Roland is a single father who's raised
04:03two kids, and he seems to be going through some financial issues, some car repairs and
04:10bills are piling up. He owes some back taxes and he got a lot going on. And from what I got of it,
04:19he's in his fifties and he's asking the question, if he can still do this, is it too late for him to
04:26turn this thing around? So if you've been around here for a minute, you know, that it's never too
04:31late to make a change. The fact that you're actually here listening today, that's a good
04:36sign that, you know, you are moving in the right direction. So if you can look up and you can get
04:41up. So we helped rolling out. And if you want to find out exactly the path, the journey that we
04:49laid out for him, you know, we can only give, you know, life experiences. And like, I don't know who
04:56I'm speaking to. I'm just speaking from experience. So I'm not here to give any advice. I want to make
05:02sure that that's very clear. So this is just basically what I would do if I was in Roland's
05:07shoes. So go ahead and watch that replay and want to give a very special thank you to my special
05:12guest, Ms. SOS for joining me and helping me out during that session. And now we can go ahead and
05:18get right on into the song of the day. We're going to talk about Ms. Fantasia. Her song, I'm doing me
05:28was released in 2010 off of her album, back to me. So the question that I have for each and every one
05:36of you out there is have you ever given so much of yourself to the fact that you feel that you are
05:42not getting a good return on your investment? She also has a song called when to lose. And
05:51sometimes you got to lose to win again. It's almost like the things that we go through in life
05:59that maybe we need to go through some of these so we can experience some storms, so we can
06:05experience some setbacks, so we can experience some pain, so we can experience some drama in
06:11order for us to remember. Jennifer Hudson, she has a song called I remember me. Sometimes we have to
06:19go back so we can remember ourselves. So that once we come across some of these same scenarios,
06:27once we come across some of this familiarity, we realize that no, we won't do that again.
06:38So once we remember, we realize that we're not going to tolerate this anymore.
06:44I've been there and done that before. I no longer want to go there anymore.
06:51And for those of you who have been struggling to make ends meet,
06:56just to make sure that everyone is okay around you, the job is okay. My kids are okay. My family
07:03is okay. People at the church, they're okay. People at the club are okay. How are my uncles,
07:09cousins, aunties, everybody else? Is everybody else okay? Sometimes it is okay to just say,
07:17I'm doing me this time around. Have you done everything that you could for everybody around
07:23you? And sometimes you look at yourself and you shortchange yourself a little bit.
07:29You do whatever you need to do to make sure that everybody is okay. But sometimes when we live like
07:36that, the main person that we need to take care of and the main person that we need to make sure
07:41is okay, we don't. And that person is yourself. So after you've done all that you can do,
07:49after you done pleased everybody that you can possibly please, and guess what? Sometimes you're
07:53not even going to please all of them. Somebody is always going to have something to say. Somebody's
07:58always going to show up and say that you didn't do what you were supposed to do when you could
08:01have and you didn't. So as we say, I'm doing me this time around, I don't need your drama right
08:11now. I'd rather be by myself because I won't let your drama, I won't let your trauma, I won't let
08:16any of negativity, I won't let any more of your depleting situations and scenarios take me down.
08:23If you don't take care of you, then who else will? Song of the day, I'm doing me by Fantasia,
08:31released in 2010 off of the back to me album. Sometimes it's just okay to say I'm doing me.
08:37I've done everything that I could possibly do for everybody else around me, but today
08:42I just can't do it. Spiritual Sunday, thank you so much for joining in. If you are out there,
08:49please like, comment, share, subscribe, tag a friend, invite them and let them know exactly
08:55what we got going on here on the 4-in-1 podcast. Tonight, tithe, tolls, and trust,
09:05rebuilding spiritual boundaries in the name of peace. So we're going to help out
09:10Ms. Janet. She is from Montgomery, Alabama. Have that roll off properly. Montgomery, Alabama.
09:20Ms. Jasmine B, she's a choir director and a substitute teacher.
09:25Janice is spiritually exhausted after years of caregiving, divorce, and financial obligation
09:32to her church and family. She wants to reconnect with God from a space of peace,
09:39not guilt, and learn how to set boundaries without feeling selfish.
09:46Janice is spiritually exhausted after years of caregiving, divorce, and financial obligation
09:54to her church and family. She wants to reconnect with God from a space of peace,
10:01not guilt, and learn how to set boundaries without feeling selfish. So as we help Ms.
10:10Janet tonight, I want everyone to think about this. All so long, people have twisted it up
10:19and made it seem as if when you start to love yourself, when you start to think about yourself,
10:25that that could be some form of being selfish. Now, there's one thing when you are very prideful,
10:34when you're very boastful, when you're sort of do things in a way of being conceited,
10:41not really looking out for others, just all about self, self, self.
10:46Now, I do say everything starts with self because it does. You're not going to be able to get what
10:51you need to get from looking towards somebody else. You have to look inward. You have to look
10:59at yourself in order to get the answers that you need to move forward. And with getting with
11:05yourself, as everything starts with self, you get into your spiritual realm and you get to focus
11:12on you and you and your creator and your higher power. Everything starts with self.
11:19You're not going to get the things that you need to get from turning toward man,
11:24turning toward materialistic things, turning toward the world, trying to get the answers
11:29that you need. Everything starts with self. So I don't want people to take that as a form of
11:37being conceited, a form of being prideful, a form of being boastful. That's your spiritual
11:44connection. Everything starts with self. It starts there first before you can go outward into the
11:50world. So everything starts with self. So from what I get from here, Janice is torn. Maybe Janice
12:00doesn't know who she is. And I know it sounds kind of rough to say that, but yeah, people in there,
12:06it doesn't matter what age it is. People wake up at all different times. I woke up in my forties.
12:12It's no coincidence that Janice here is 50 and it looks like she doesn't know who she totally
12:20is at this moment. And that's okay. People can wake up at different times, but we should never
12:25feel selfish for giving ourselves some love for taking care of ourselves. Because if we don't
12:33take care of ourselves, like I said earlier at the top of the show, then who else will?
12:39So we have to look inside first before we can move forward and try to help and build
12:45and help someone else. Through this scenario here, I can clearly see that Janice has been
12:53ripping and running and doing for other people more than she has been doing for herself.
12:58She's tired. She's exhausted. And all she wants to do is reconnect. See, the key word reconnect.
13:05So she lost connection with God, clearly, when you begin to do things for everybody else before
13:12you even decide to think about yourself. Maybe she's not taking time to pray. Maybe that part
13:19of her life is gone dormant. I don't know. I'm only going from what I see here, but
13:26she wants to reconnect with God from a space of peace. It sounds like there's no peace here.
13:31Not guilt. So she's feeling guilty. And she wants to learn to set boundaries without feeling selfish.
13:40She's exhausted, spiritually exhausted after years of caregiving. Again, caring for other
13:48people before you care for yourself. That would be one of the red flags there.
13:56Choir director, substitute teacher, has a family.
14:00There it goes right there. Choir director. So a lot of this is with the church.
14:10And caregiving. So now we got a lot going on here and not to mention that she went through a divorce.
14:21And she has some financial obligations to her church and her family.
14:25I don't know how much she's giving to her church, how much she's giving to her family,
14:29whether she's paying for her children's school. We don't know what that scenario looks like.
14:36But clearly, there's a financial obligation going on right there. She feels obligated to give.
14:42Now, I would say that it's interesting how the church is listed here first before the family.
14:52I know a lot of people who are in the church, and I've heard stories from the past that
14:57they will give to the church before they give to their own family.
15:03From the outside looking in, it looks as though this might be one of those scenarios here.
15:11Obligated to give to your church. And the question that I have to ask, and again,
15:18this is very touchy compared to last week when I spoke about giving to the church when you don't
15:24have, giving when you don't have. It's okay to tell somebody, I just don't have it to give to you.
15:34I might have it, it might be used and tucked away, and it might've been budgeted toward other
15:41categories that are needed in order to sustain and maintain my life. But just because I have it
15:47in the bank account does not mean that I have it to give to you.
15:52So I'm not quite sure what obligation that Janice has towards the church, but
16:01it's a little interesting that the church has been listed before her family. And this might
16:07just be me reading into it too much, but never should one feel that they should have an obligation
16:16to give to someone outside of their household versus taking care of their household first.
16:22Now there are different scenarios, different dynamics
16:26behind it. And this is not just one cookie cutter type of situation, but I'm just speaking in general
16:32that it's not good to give to the church before you take care of your own four walls.
16:36Make sure that you're standing on your own two feet.
16:39And as far as reconnecting with God from a space of peace until Janice takes a step back and learns
16:50to get with herself as everything starts with self, I don't think that there'll be much peace
16:58there because you have your church obligations, you have the substitute teacher obligations,
17:05obligations, you have the substitute teacher obligations, you're caregiving,
17:12you're financially stretching yourself thin from what you're giving to the church,
17:19what you're giving to your family. Again, I don't know the dynamic between a family,
17:23if the family is old enough to start generating income on their own or not.
17:30There are no ages listed here. So we might be dealing with little children who I don't
17:36know at this point, 55 years old. I would say maybe your kids are getting up there
17:45to the point where maybe they could start to contribute a little bit more or have the
17:50right conversations with them about where money comes from and how it's generated.
17:55But never should one feel guilty about taking time to themselves.
18:03So I don't know where that guilt comes from. And I don't wanna say this, but I'm gonna say it.
18:09Maybe the guilt comes from the church that you go to. Maybe they have you in a certain way,
18:18and I'm not gonna use certain terminology, but maybe they have you set up
18:23programmed in a certain way to think that you have to give a specific amount,
18:31a certain percentage. We spoke about this last week when it comes to tithing and giving.
18:40Some people call it giving back, but I don't like to say giving back because
18:45if you didn't take anything in the first place, why are you giving it back?
18:48So just giving, something's off here. There's guilt because maybe they want you to
19:00contribute a certain percentage. And now that leads me to the part where I say,
19:09I have it, but I don't have it to give to you. So
19:13give what you can. This is just coming from my perspective. Give what you can.
19:19You have to make sure that you are financially sound on your own two feet
19:23before you can start to dig into your pockets and give to somebody else.
19:28And if you can't give financially, and you're wrapped up and you're trapped up in a situation,
19:32then there's only other ways that you can give. You're gonna give spiritually,
19:37you're gonna give mentally, and you're gonna give physically from the time and the energy
19:43that it takes to stand up there, to volunteer, to do whatever you're doing.
19:48You may not be able to give financially all the time, but maybe you can give your energy
19:52in another way. Maybe you could support in another way. So I would strongly urge
20:01that we might need to hit this pause button. Maybe we don't need to reset everything,
20:06but we might need to hit this pause button and start to redirect and change some things around.
20:11Because if you are an acquired director, you're giving to the church already,
20:16you're putting time into it. It sounds like you could be putting a little bit more of your
20:20personal time into it as well. But if you can't give financially,
20:26you could be putting a little bit more of your personal time into it as well.
20:31Again, I don't know. But when it comes to the financial obligations,
20:39sounds like you're already putting a lot of physical time into it.
20:45So maybe we might need to back up on one versus the other so that you can have some personal time
20:51so that you can be rejuvenated and start to make some good financial decisions when it comes to
20:57what you're doing, where your money is going. Because when you are physically drained
21:05and when you are mentally drained, sometimes it makes sense when you are financially drained as
21:13well, because your mind wasn't sharp enough, your spiritual discernment wasn't sharp enough
21:20in order for you to make good, positive, sound financial decisions.
21:26See, all of these things go hand in hand and they're interconnected. So if you are spiritually
21:31drained and you are mentally drained, and then you turn around and make some poor financial decisions
21:37that puts you into the area and the scenarios of being financially drained, it makes sense.
21:43Now, if your mind was clear and you had some peace, you had some time,
21:49you were able to get things under control and have a little bit of clarity around the situation.
21:54Therefore, you'll be a little bit more sharper when you show up in the physical world and
22:01you'll have that mental discipline and that spiritual realm of discernment to be able to
22:09realm of discernment to be able to make some better financial decisions.
22:17So there's a lot going on here and I see she's financially obligated to her church and her
22:24family. That line just keeps sticking out and jumping off the page to me, financially
22:30obligated to her church. That's deep. To the fact that we are putting our financial obligations
22:40to the church over the relationship and the connection that we have with God. That's deep.
22:49Everything starts with self. That's the first thing that we would focus on is connecting
22:56spiritually, focusing with ourselves inward and then pushing outward. Focus inward and then push
23:06outward. It seems as if her connection with God has been put on a back burner,
23:15which we all know that God is a jealous God and we should never
23:22put anyone before God, have no other gods before him. So again, when it comes to some of these
23:29people, we can start to make people a God. The people, the relationships that we have in our
23:36lives, the jobs that we go to, the cars that we drive, the money, the clothes, the jewelry.
23:42We have to be very careful about making all of these external gods.
23:54And there's some guilt coming from, and I can only assume from her place of worship,
24:02because it seems as if she's so programmed to the financial obligations that she has to the church
24:09that she might not want to do certain things. Maybe it's the time that she's putting in and
24:14she wants to spend time and rest and just relax, but she feels guilty because she has some
24:20obligations to the church. And here's the thing that jumps off the page as well, and learn how
24:27to set boundaries without feeling selfish. One should never feel selfish when it comes to setting
24:34boundaries as far as what you need to make your life go round, what you need to make sure that
24:39you are feeling healthy and whole and sound so that you can conduct yourself as a positive
24:46human being in the world. Because if you have to show up and you are tired, you're disrespectful
24:54as far as the way you look at people, as far as the energy that you are projecting out there in
25:00the universe, that's a problem. If you have to show up somewhere, mean mugging people,
25:06being disrespectful, not showing up as a decent human being, that's the only way that I could put
25:13it, then maybe you might need to go back and reevaluate some things and get your boundaries
25:21set up so that where you can have that time to yourself, so you can hit that reset button,
25:26so you can relax and you can rejuvenate so that you can show up in a world
25:31respecting people as if you want people to respect you.
25:40So there's some boundary issues. She probably is a people pleaser. She probably says yes and
25:45agrees to doing things that she doesn't want to do. And I've been there before.
25:51And I used to be that person that showed up and was very angry, disrespectful, all of the stuff
25:55that I just said, that was me because I didn't know how to say no. I didn't know how to set
26:00boundaries. And I went to places that I shouldn't have gone to. And I signed up for things that I
26:05really didn't want. And it was a disaster and it always ended in disaster. And I was always drained,
26:13depleted, and worn down because of what somebody else put on top of me.
26:18What somebody else wanted me to carry. And I just gladly said, sure. Knowing that I had all
26:24these things going on, knowing that I had other obligations, knowing that I had my plate full.
26:31But here I was like, sure, pile it right on just to make somebody happy. And while I'm sitting
26:35there watching everybody else become happy and enjoy, I'm sitting here just as miserable as I
26:41can be because that's not what I wanted to do in the first place.
26:44No, is a complete sentence. And there's nothing wrong with that. And what I've learned is that
26:52when you don't say no, regardless of whether you say no or you don't say no,
26:56these people are pretty much okay. And they're going to move on with their lives regardless.
27:01They're going to move on with their situation. They're going to move on with their scenario
27:05regardless. And while you say yes to something that you originally didn't want to do,
27:10and while you say yes to something that you originally meant to say, no,
27:15just look around at everybody else carrying on with their lives, living on
27:22just as if nothing happened and they could care less about what you got going on.
27:30And you're the only one feeling a certain way internally.
27:33And if you were anything like me, that internal will start to show out in the world and show up
27:42externally. However, I felt on the inside, damn sure showed up on the outside and that's how it
27:50always starts. And that's what it is. You have to make sure your internal dialogue matches the out.
27:57So if your internal dialogue is not in a good, healthy place,
28:01trust and believe that that's exactly what your environment and your world is going to end up
28:04being. Wow. So, yeah, I'd say hit the reset button. This is a deep one. This is a deep one
28:14here. And I feel because I feel on multiple reasons because spiritually there's some
28:23spiritual exhaustion here and some spiritual neglect here. Everything starts with self.
28:30Janice needs to take a good look in the mirror and start to hit, hit that pause button and start
28:35to prioritize some things. Maybe you might need to delete some things out of your life that just
28:40no longer serve you. That's not matching up and making sense. And there's nothing wrong with that
28:46because if you're feeling exhausted, you have guilt, you have shame because of the way you
28:55are showing up in the world, then we might need to do something about that because we're not
29:00supposed to conduct ourselves like that. We're not supposed to be showing up in a world like that.
29:08And give what you can give. If it's a financial situation and you're strained and you're strapped
29:16because you have a family that you have to take care of, which they should be put before the
29:20church. We might need to just give what we can give. And if you can't give it from a financial
29:28aspect, then the time. But then again, I can't even say the time because it looks like you're
29:34already strapped to begin with. So maybe that's that time that you need to start pulling back
29:39because time is more valuable than money. Some people think that money is it. Money is everything.
29:46Time is more valuable than money because if you were on your deathbed and you were ready to take
29:51your last breath and somebody gave you a few more years to live or a million dollars, which one are
29:59you going to take? So I don't want to turn this into a whole financial aspect, although there
30:06is something that has to do with it. But it may also be just giving up too much of your time
30:13to places that no longer serve you to the fact that you got more time invested in them than you
30:19have in yourself. This is deep. This is this is a deep one here because it's looked like it's
30:31coming from both angles. Multiple angles. And never should we feel guilty and selfish for
30:39doing something for ourselves that may help better ourselves and everybody around us,
30:45because if you keep on doing for others, you keep on doing things for others and you don't do for
30:50yourself. If you're anything like me, that's when you forget about guilt and selfishness. That's
30:57when when a light bulb starts to go off and I start to wake up and realize and see what game
31:01is being played. That's when the anger used to come in. That's when the resentment used to come in.
31:09Thank God I've been delivered from all of those things, because then there were some times where
31:13revenge would come in. Like, oh, I see what game this is. But see, I can avoid all of those.
31:21I could avoid anger. I could avoid revenge. I could avoid resentment today with just one simple word.
31:31No. And I do today because I don't have to go places. I don't have to attach myself. I don't
31:38have to do anything that I don't want to do today. And I don't. And if it don't make sense
31:46for me and the situation I have going on here, then I just don't do it. And you got to be careful
31:55because giving to certain places where they want to make you feel a certain way, if you don't meet
32:01this specific quota or you don't meet this certain cap, if that's all that you have to give, then
32:08that's exactly what that means. Never should we put ourselves in a situation financially just to
32:14say that we gave. That's a problem. Let me know what you think about tonight's scenario.
32:29Wow. This one definitely has me thinking. How many people out there
32:41are tithing, putting themselves in a situation financially just to say that they did it?
32:48And how much toll do we put on ourselves when we run ourselves ragged, running around
32:56trying to please people and to make everybody else happy first before we even think about
33:01ourselves? And then what toll does that put on us spiritually, mentally, physically, and financially?
33:13If you want to chime in tonight, you can please text me at 609-200-1098. Again, that number is
33:22609-200-1098. That is the official 4 in 1 podcast reading between the lines hotline.
33:31You may also DM me on any of my social media platforms, Facebook, Instagram X, TikTok.
33:41Tonight's burning question, is it possible to honor God and others without sacrificing your
33:49own peace and purpose in the process? Is it possible to honor God and others without sacrificing
33:59your own peace and purpose in the process? And my answer is yes. And this would help tie in
34:10with Janice as well. So it is possible to honor God and the way we can honor God
34:19is by getting with ourselves first, strengthening and deepening our prayer life,
34:30our meditation life, focusing on God first before we focus on others. That way,
34:41with clarity, with rejuvenation, with a clear peace of mind, we're able to help others.
34:55We'll come from a peaceful place. We'll come from a restful place. We'll come from a place
35:02of abundance versus coming from a place of scarcity. We won't be looking at our watches,
35:08looking at the time. We won't be drained. We won't be down. We won't be out because we've
35:16taken time to rest, relax, rejuvenate, pray, ask questions, receive the answers,
35:27and then operate properly in a physical realm.
35:36That's protecting your peace. And if you're asking and you're getting with God
35:42and you're having him direct you, now we're walking in purpose.
35:49So it is. It's very possible to honor God and others without sacrificing your own peace.
35:58Doing it the other way, now you're sacrificing your own peace and your purpose and you're doing
36:03it out of order, out of sync, and who knows what that's going to become.
36:07But it doesn't sound anything good at all.
36:11Very, very deep burning question because that used to be me. I used to not honor God. I would
36:21make everyone else, I put everyone else before myself, put everyone else before God, and
36:30I would not honor God. I would make everyone else, I put everyone else before myself,
36:37put everyone else before God, and let me tell you, it didn't work out well.
36:43My peace was always disrupted. I always felt like I wasn't standing in my purpose.
36:51I always knew that I was doing something incorrect but was so caught up and I didn't know how to get
36:56out of it. But let me tell you, disobey long enough. Just keep disobeying. Keep going along
37:05thinking that your plan is better and bigger and better than His.
37:09Sometimes thinking that you know everything.
37:15God has a way of fixing everything and rebalancing and equalizing everything.
37:21He sees and hears everything and knows everything.
37:23I would say boundaries. Boundaries is so important and never should anybody make you feel a certain
37:33way because you decided to set boundaries to make sure that you can protect your peace and to protect
37:38your spiritual being and your spiritual foundation. That's the most important thing that you can have
37:48is a spiritual foundation and make sure that it's on solid ground
37:52and it's not built on a house of cards or some nonsense or...
37:59That's how you honor God, by making sure your spiritual foundation is on lock and key.
38:05And can't nobody, no man, no job, no cars, no money, no situation can come in and try to take
38:13you off your game, sweep you up off your feet, make you start to think a certain way,
38:20make you feel a certain way. Unshakable faith, undeniable.
38:32It is possible to honor God and others without sacrificing your own peace and purpose in the
38:39process. Yes, it is. By making sure your spiritual foundation is on lock and key and you know who you
38:46are. And you're not going to know who you are until you get with yourself. Everything starts
38:51with self until you understand and know exactly what you got. Lay it out all on the table,
38:56just you and yourself, staring back at yourself in that mirror, trying to figure it out, map it out.
39:03Think about it from the other aspect. You dishonor God and others when you give up and you sacrifice
39:11your own peace, just to please other people, follow their plan, go along with their situation,
39:19become a yes-man to whatever they want you to do. And then look at your life and look at the
39:26yes-men to whatever they want you to do. And then look at your life and look at your situations and
39:33look at your scenarios as an aftermath, as an afterthought, after you've been depleted and
39:38drained from living in the world and doing what everybody else wants you to do. I believe that
39:44is the ultimate disrespect that one can give to themselves and to God when we operate like that.
39:51I used to get up every morning and as soon as the alarm clock went off,
39:54jump up, get in the shower and be ripping and running and going and doing what everybody
39:58else wanted me to do. Not taking time to pray, reflect, not even taking time to look at myself
40:04good to see if we feel good about what we're doing, how we're moving, how we're showing up.
40:15So I get this. I get this, Janice. And let's hope that tonight we have some sort of breakthrough
40:24because it's something else when we feel that we are obligated
40:32to give and do for others and to others before we even give to ourselves.

41:26you can head on over to Laryngaines.com and you can sign up for my free 15-minute consultation.
41:33I focus on debt-free living from spiritual, mental, physical, and financial wellbeing.
41:40We focus on the physical first, understand and know who you are.
41:45Once you understand and know who you are, then we focus on the mental aspect,
41:51making sure that we are operating from a space of abundance and we are deleting any thoughts,
41:57negativity, any areas of scarcity in our lives and how we feel and think about money.
42:03After we connect the spiritual to the mental, now we flow into the physical realm,
42:10focusing and looking at ourselves and seeing how we are showing up in the world.
42:14How are we showing up and how are we becoming? Who is the person that we are becoming and how is it
42:25and how is it matching up? From that, we move to the financial aspect,
42:35debt-free living from spiritual, mental, physical, and financial wellness.
42:40Head on over to Laryngaines.com if you're interested in a free 15-minute consultation.
42:46Now, when I speak about the free 15-minute consultation, I want to say it is for only
42:52those of you out there who are sick and tired of being sick and tired, people who look at their
42:59own current situation and know that there's something that is just not right, something
43:03that needs to change. You have to want the change. This is not something that I can wave a magic wand
43:10and make it work for you. I give you the information, I give you the tools, the exercises,
43:16the programs, and then it's all up to you to make it work and for you to make it happen.
43:23But again, it's only for those who look at their current situation and they want different. They
43:30know that there has to be more to life than just this. There has to be more to life than paying
43:35excessive credit card debt. There has to be more to life than being drowned and stuck and can't
43:40swim in student loan debt. There has to be more to life than this, than the personal loans. There
43:46has to be more to life than the payday loans. There has to be more to life than the excessive
43:52car payments and living well beyond our means, keeping up with the Joneses.
43:58For those of you who are ready to cut up your credit cards,
44:03for those of you who say, I get it. I get the end game. I'm not where I need to be right now.
44:13I might need to learn a little bit more. I might need to study a little bit more.
