0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:05.800
<v Speaker 1>Hi, this is Delilah, and I am so excited to

0:00:05.840 --> 0:00:07.560
<v Speaker 1>be able to talk with you on this podcast. I

0:00:07.600 --> 0:00:09.119
<v Speaker 1>want to get your feedback. I want to know what

0:00:09.240 --> 0:00:11.680
<v Speaker 1>to think. I want to know what topics you want

0:00:11.680 --> 0:00:14.840
<v Speaker 1>me to explore. Uh, do you want to hear more

0:00:14.920 --> 0:00:17.640
<v Speaker 1>phone calls like on my radio show or do you

0:00:17.680 --> 0:00:21.480
<v Speaker 1>want to hear me talk about topics that are are

0:00:21.560 --> 0:00:24.880
<v Speaker 1>important in your life or something that is on your heart?

0:00:25.440 --> 0:00:27.400
<v Speaker 1>And I hope you do when you're listening to this.

0:00:27.480 --> 0:00:28.960
<v Speaker 1>I hope you do what I do at night when

0:00:29.000 --> 0:00:32.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm in the studio recording my shows. Fix yourself a

0:00:32.840 --> 0:00:37.440
<v Speaker 1>cup of Twinings Tea of London. There's so much thought

0:00:37.479 --> 0:00:40.960
<v Speaker 1>and passion in making the flavors and the varieties of

0:00:41.080 --> 0:00:44.600
<v Speaker 1>Twinings Tea that's available to you. I know this because

0:00:44.600 --> 0:00:46.960
<v Speaker 1>I've met with the folks from Twinings and it is

0:00:47.040 --> 0:00:51.040
<v Speaker 1>quite the process. The way they search the globe for

0:00:51.120 --> 0:00:57.240
<v Speaker 1>the best ingredients, the finest ingredients, the finest tease and flavorings,

0:00:57.240 --> 0:01:00.440
<v Speaker 1>and they have to be pure. They make or that

0:01:00.480 --> 0:01:04.720
<v Speaker 1>they are so pure and healthy and delicious. So start

0:01:04.720 --> 0:01:07.200
<v Speaker 1>by choosing the flavors that sound most appealing to you,

0:01:07.440 --> 0:01:11.680
<v Speaker 1>and an experiment branch out, be a little wild, take

0:01:11.680 --> 0:01:14.080
<v Speaker 1>a walk on the wild side and try one of

0:01:14.120 --> 0:01:17.759
<v Speaker 1>their their new flavors. I'm holding a cup of Twinings

0:01:17.760 --> 0:01:21.039
<v Speaker 1>Tea right now. In fact, I'm not taking a walk

0:01:21.080 --> 0:01:23.319
<v Speaker 1>on the wild Side tonight because I love their English

0:01:23.360 --> 0:01:26.600
<v Speaker 1>breakfast and though it's evening, uh, they have a decaf

0:01:26.800 --> 0:01:29.200
<v Speaker 1>and that's what I'm drinking right now here in the

0:01:29.240 --> 0:01:32.840
<v Speaker 1>studio with you. Twinings Tea of London is found in

0:01:32.920 --> 0:01:35.920
<v Speaker 1>my favorite supermarket. It's probably in yours. To look for it,

0:01:36.280 --> 0:01:41.480
<v Speaker 1>Twinings Tea of London. So in this broadcast or podcast,

0:01:41.640 --> 0:01:45.240
<v Speaker 1>I should say I'm going to be talking about finding

0:01:45.720 --> 0:01:52.520
<v Speaker 1>your truth, finding out who you really are, and finding

0:01:52.600 --> 0:01:56.880
<v Speaker 1>your path. So many people feel like they're just existing,

0:01:58.080 --> 0:02:01.720
<v Speaker 1>like they're wandering and they're not sure if they're right

0:02:01.840 --> 0:02:05.400
<v Speaker 1>on the right path. There's a great quote that says

0:02:05.520 --> 0:02:08.920
<v Speaker 1>all who wander are not lost. So I believe that

0:02:09.000 --> 0:02:12.080
<v Speaker 1>wandering is a good thing. I'm not the kind of

0:02:12.160 --> 0:02:14.360
<v Speaker 1>person to take a straight path from point A to

0:02:14.400 --> 0:02:16.280
<v Speaker 1>point B. When I go on road trips. I want

0:02:16.280 --> 0:02:19.640
<v Speaker 1>to stop at every roadside fruit stand. I want to

0:02:19.680 --> 0:02:22.360
<v Speaker 1>go up into the mountains, I want to take detours,

0:02:22.480 --> 0:02:25.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm not in a hurry to get to the destination

0:02:25.840 --> 0:02:29.480
<v Speaker 1>because truthfully, my friend listened to this. I got a

0:02:29.480 --> 0:02:32.760
<v Speaker 1>card when I graduated from high school from my best friend,

0:02:32.800 --> 0:02:35.840
<v Speaker 1>Deedee's mother that said, the thing to remember when traveling

0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:42.520
<v Speaker 1>is this. The destination is not the thing traveling is.

0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:49.840
<v Speaker 1>The destination is not what's important. The process of getting there,

0:02:49.840 --> 0:02:54.120
<v Speaker 1>the friends that you make a long life's journey, the

0:02:54.280 --> 0:02:58.360
<v Speaker 1>experiences that you have on this path we call life,

0:02:59.639 --> 0:03:03.600
<v Speaker 1>from the time you come into this world, from the

0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:11.880
<v Speaker 1>time your soul enters your little dinut sized smaller than

0:03:11.919 --> 0:03:18.680
<v Speaker 1>a peabody, until the time that your body expires on

0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:23.160
<v Speaker 1>this earth. The dash, the dash between the day you're

0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:26.480
<v Speaker 1>born and the day you die. That dash, how you

0:03:26.560 --> 0:03:29.520
<v Speaker 1>live that dash? You know? They write, you know, uh,

0:03:29.919 --> 0:03:34.280
<v Speaker 1>nineteen sixty dash two thousand and fifty. Whatever the dash,

0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:38.640
<v Speaker 1>The journey is what matters. So how do you know

0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:40.680
<v Speaker 1>if you're on the right path? How do you know

0:03:40.760 --> 0:03:43.960
<v Speaker 1>if you are using your time doing that which you

0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:50.920
<v Speaker 1>are supposed to be doing? It's easy? Do you have joy?

0:03:51.120 --> 0:03:55.680
<v Speaker 1>Do you find pleasure in living your life? And are

0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:59.920
<v Speaker 1>you making an impact in the world? Do you find play?

0:04:00.720 --> 0:04:05.240
<v Speaker 1>Is it joyful? Is it rewarding to do what you

0:04:05.400 --> 0:04:09.080
<v Speaker 1>do for a living or as hobbies. And are you

0:04:09.280 --> 0:04:13.960
<v Speaker 1>making a difference in the world. Are you impacting the

0:04:14.000 --> 0:04:17.599
<v Speaker 1>world for good? There are a lot of people who

0:04:17.640 --> 0:04:21.600
<v Speaker 1>do a lot of things that are fun, exciting, entertaining,

0:04:22.400 --> 0:04:26.000
<v Speaker 1>But are you impacting the world for good? Are you

0:04:26.120 --> 0:04:29.719
<v Speaker 1>making this world a better place. I used to be

0:04:29.760 --> 0:04:31.839
<v Speaker 1>a girl Scout, So I was a girl Scout for years.

0:04:31.960 --> 0:04:35.159
<v Speaker 1>I love scouting and now my daughter, my youngest daughter, Delilah,

0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:37.800
<v Speaker 1>is going to be a girl Scout and I'm excited

0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:40.400
<v Speaker 1>about that. And one of the things that I learned

0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:43.760
<v Speaker 1>in scouting and from my parents, we used to camp

0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:46.560
<v Speaker 1>a lot, and in scouting, we camped a lot, and

0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:51.040
<v Speaker 1>they always said, leave the campsite better than it was

0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:55.440
<v Speaker 1>when you arrived. Leave the campsite better than it was

0:04:55.520 --> 0:04:59.839
<v Speaker 1>when you arrived. Make sure there's no trash lying about.

0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:03.440
<v Speaker 1>Make sure you haven't damaged any of the plants, the trees,

0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:08.560
<v Speaker 1>the flora, the fauna. Leave the campsite better. Make sure

0:05:08.600 --> 0:05:11.920
<v Speaker 1>you clean the ashes out of the fire pit so

0:05:11.960 --> 0:05:15.239
<v Speaker 1>the next person that comes along doesn't have to clean

0:05:15.320 --> 0:05:18.840
<v Speaker 1>up after you. Leave the camp site better than it

0:05:18.920 --> 0:05:22.039
<v Speaker 1>was when you arrived, And I believe we need to

0:05:22.160 --> 0:05:26.920
<v Speaker 1>leave the world better than it was when we arrived,

0:05:27.800 --> 0:05:31.000
<v Speaker 1>and so to leave the world a better place than

0:05:31.040 --> 0:05:34.320
<v Speaker 1>it was when we arrived, that's a big task. How

0:05:34.320 --> 0:05:37.960
<v Speaker 1>do you do that? When you figure out what it

0:05:38.040 --> 0:05:41.560
<v Speaker 1>is that brings you joy and then you use that

0:05:41.720 --> 0:05:46.200
<v Speaker 1>gift to bless others to make the world a better place.

0:05:46.880 --> 0:05:49.760
<v Speaker 1>That is where you are supposed to be. Maybe you're

0:05:49.800 --> 0:05:52.880
<v Speaker 1>a good manager, Maybe you're a good leader. Maybe when

0:05:52.880 --> 0:05:55.479
<v Speaker 1>you look behind you, you see people following you because

0:05:55.480 --> 0:05:58.280
<v Speaker 1>you are a natural born leader. If you are one

0:05:58.320 --> 0:06:01.200
<v Speaker 1>of those people that has that gift of leadership, please

0:06:01.360 --> 0:06:05.560
<v Speaker 1>use it with integrity to lead people to the truth,

0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:09.320
<v Speaker 1>to lead people to a better world, to lead people

0:06:09.360 --> 0:06:14.719
<v Speaker 1>to a place of honesty and transparency and goodness and

0:06:14.880 --> 0:06:18.600
<v Speaker 1>mercy and love. Or maybe you're not a leader, Maybe

0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:21.839
<v Speaker 1>you're a follower. That's a good thing. If you have,

0:06:22.160 --> 0:06:24.479
<v Speaker 1>like more than one or two leaders, it doesn't work.

0:06:25.240 --> 0:06:28.080
<v Speaker 1>But there are people who are good at following directions

0:06:28.120 --> 0:06:30.960
<v Speaker 1>and good at follow through, and they're good at paying

0:06:30.960 --> 0:06:34.960
<v Speaker 1>attention to details and making sure things get done and

0:06:35.040 --> 0:06:39.880
<v Speaker 1>get done effectively and efficiently. Maybe your gift is something

0:06:39.920 --> 0:06:43.520
<v Speaker 1>like swimming. That's an easy one, be a lifeguard, save

0:06:43.640 --> 0:06:47.919
<v Speaker 1>kids lives, make their summers fun, teach them how to swim.

0:06:48.360 --> 0:06:52.080
<v Speaker 1>Use whatever gift God has given you to make the

0:06:52.120 --> 0:06:54.640
<v Speaker 1>world a better place, and then you know you're on

0:06:54.680 --> 0:06:57.840
<v Speaker 1>the right path. See how simple that was. It's not

0:06:57.920 --> 0:07:01.360
<v Speaker 1>really that complicated. Sit down out, ask other people, Ask

0:07:01.400 --> 0:07:04.200
<v Speaker 1>your family, ask your friends, ask your mama, ask your

0:07:04.200 --> 0:07:07.480
<v Speaker 1>best friend. Where do you see me shine? What do

0:07:07.520 --> 0:07:10.280
<v Speaker 1>you see my gifts are? Where do you see me

0:07:10.400 --> 0:07:14.400
<v Speaker 1>most effective? If they say playing video games, that's not

0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:18.600
<v Speaker 1>a good thing, or maybe it is. Maybe that is

0:07:18.640 --> 0:07:21.040
<v Speaker 1>your gift and you should take some classes on how

0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:24.320
<v Speaker 1>to produce games, and then you should use that gift

0:07:24.360 --> 0:07:29.200
<v Speaker 1>to make games that teach instead of games that destroy.

0:07:29.280 --> 0:07:31.960
<v Speaker 1>So if you're a gamer and that's where you're happy spot,

0:07:32.160 --> 0:07:35.560
<v Speaker 1>then go to school, learn how to create them, and

0:07:35.600 --> 0:07:39.680
<v Speaker 1>then create games that uplift, that build, that educate, that

0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:47.280
<v Speaker 1>teach kids life skills that form lasting relationships. Find your

0:07:47.320 --> 0:07:51.560
<v Speaker 1>happy spot, find what you do best, and then use

0:07:51.720 --> 0:07:55.360
<v Speaker 1>that gift to change the world, one heart at a time.

0:07:56.440 --> 0:08:00.280
<v Speaker 1>Those are my thoughts on finding your path, finding your truth,

0:08:00.360 --> 0:08:03.640
<v Speaker 1>finding what works and where God wants you to be.

0:08:04.200 --> 0:08:07.800
